►Heechul on the hospital!

Kim Hee Chul, the busiest member of Super Junior
has undergone an operation this afternoon at
Sam Seong Seoul Hospital in Ilwondong, Seoul.
This is his third left leg surgery where the iron rods he
kept on his left leg for 2 years have been removed.

Hee Chul suffered a major injury from a car accident
2 years ago when he was heading back to Seoul from Mokpo,
where he went to attend his fellow Super Junior member
Dong Hae's father's funeral. He fractured four to five places
on his left leg including his ankle, femur, and knee which required
a 6-hour surgery and sustained several other injuries
including a tear to his tongue which required stitches.

Kim Hee Chul is now conscious from a few hours sleep
and is required to undergo another treatment in a month.
Doctors adviced him to take a full rest but
with the fact that normal activities are possible.

►Mr. Lee Soo Man's B-day Preparation

How Would SM Entertainment Artists Celebrate Mr. Lee Soo Man's 56th Birthday?

A modest four-story building in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul's high-fashion district, is the headquarters of SM Entertainment. It is the country's major talent agency, credited with discovering and fostering the careers of most of Korea's teenage stars. Considering the agency's long-standing success, its building is surprisingly nondescript — it's not marked with any signboards, banners or flags. If not for the teenage fans crowding the entrance or the graffiti on the wall proclaiming, "I love you, TVXQ!", one would have no clue what that building is. The company says it feels no need to be more visible since it already gets plenty of visitors. Also in the neighborhood are Kimjonghak Productions, one of Korea's top production companies and Cheongdam High School, where many up-and-coming teenage talents are enrolled.

The office of Mr. Lee Soo Man, the founder and CEO of the entertainment juggernaut, is equally ordinary-looking. The only thing that sets it apart is a display of about 300 trophies won by SM artists such as H.O.T, S.E.S, Shinhwa, BoA, TVXQ and Super Junior at music awards, along with their photographs and the place where the artists usually surprise him on his birthday.

Lee Soo Man seemed pretty excited with good news about his talents, how they worked hard to be what they are now. Lee Soo Man seems reticent and even defensive, conscious of persistent criticism that SM artists can dance but can't sing with the possible exception of BoA, Super Junior and TVXQ. Koreans seem to have two opinions of Mr. Lee. He is undoubtedly the best at commercializing Korean pop culture at home and abroad. But he is blamed for discrediting the local music industry with teenage dance stars; it doesn't help his image to also be the biggest beneficiary of a virtual entertainment monopoly.

Lee Soo Man recently stated on JoongAng Ilbo: "Due to illegal downloads the music industry is contracting, and with revenue sources limited to TV commercials, our only hope is the global market. Our ultimate destination is, of course, China, the new Hollywood. It is our dream that Korean and Japanese pop will meet in the Chinese 'melting pot', find out who's Asia's best and finally compete with the top players in the United States and Europe. As for BoA's debut in the United States, we intend to be cautious ... We will go when we are certain of success."

Lee started as a singer in the 1970s. Twenty years later, he produced the country's first hip-hop artist, Hyun Jin Young. Together with renowned composer Yoo Young Jin, Lee Soo Man founded SM Entertainment, launching numerous teenage pop stars. He literally raised them, teaching dance, music and foreign languages to young teenagers with star qualities.

In the case of TVXQ and Super Junior, the training included painstaking dance practice. SM Entertainment is noted for its "one-source multi-usage" strategy for its stable of talents. It introduced various kinds of marketing materials featuring its artists.

Last year its affiliate, SM Pictures, produced a movie starring Super Junior. Fans who would buy anything involving their favorite stars are the biggest contributor to SM's success.

Today SM Entertainment is expanding into about 40 businesses, including drama production and karaoke management. This year, it is going to present its first musical, "Xanadu" where Kang In and Kim Hee Chul of Super Junior are a part of it.

According to a recent survey, Lee Soo Man was the third biggest holder of Korean stocks in the entertainment business after singer/producer J.Y. "When I was a singer myself, it hurt my pride to see people go crazy over foreign pop stars like Leif Garrett and New Kids on the Block. I wanted people to go crazy over our homegrown stars. I was certain that our entertainment market would grow remarkably once the economy gained momentum. I know there are many criticisms about us, such as tainting the music industry with lip-syncing teenage dancers. But I believe the pop culture industry is just like a democracy. Just like you would vote for the politicians you support, you buy the albums of those you like. That is how music survives. In a capitalistic entertainment industry, it's inevitable that the true star dominates the market and rakes in the money," Lee said.

"I do not agree when people label our singers as mere teenage idol stars. We are not just an idol agency, but we strive to become a global entertainment company. I don't see the need to define whether one's a true musician or a teenage idol star. I think pop culture is all about enjoying what you like."

This week is a very important week for SM Entertainment. Lee Soo Man is celebrating his 56th Birthday on June 18 [wednesday]. BoA, Girls' Generation, KANGTA, SHINee, Super Junior, TVXQ and other SM Entertainment artists never will forget to celebrate the most important day for Lee Soo Man. They have their different ways to extend their love for him.

Title: 미 쓰 김 (Mith Kim = Mithra + Kim Heechul)

Epik High’s Mithra Jin explained his ‘rumours’ with Super Junior’s Kim Heechul. Epik High was recently on SBS’s “The Star Show” which will be broadcasted on the 23rd. Mithra Jin further explained that his ‘rumours’ with Heechul were fake, and that they were only friends.

Mithra Jin said, “I would go along like how lovers would and go for a spin with Heechul” and, “Although I’ve hung out with Heechul more than I would with my girlfriend, but I’m certain that we’re not dating, we’re just friends”.

————————————————————
Bear Mithra, don’t explain these things
The more you explain, the more strange it becomes (-┏)

Perhaps E.L.F and those in High School
will get affected by this incident

Our Mith Kim are not dating
Although we meet in the middle of the night, to eat together, to drink beer…

It’s friendship

Certainly not love

When we meet, we never touch each other
To the extent that even if we fall down, we won’t help each other up
Looking at it, conversely, it seems like Mith Kim’s relationship is not too good

Ah really…
Why am I explaining? (-┏)

*Ah That’s right.. I’m not dating Yunho either (-┏)

Kibum, Hankyung, Siwon, Jay etc…
I’m not dating them too (-┏)

Me!!
I’m dating all the fans
^-^*

Ah.. I can pretend that I am (?) ㅋㅋ

Title: Wuhan Coincidental Meeting

I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to leave a message to everyone during this period of time because our recent schedule has been pretty tight, I hope everyone understands. Hehe~~

Since I came back from Korea, we went to Wuhan twice, and I realized the fans in Wuhan are very passionate, thank you all for your attention and support, although we were very busy these 2 times when we were in Wuhan, but it’s counted as the making up for the 1st time we were in Wuhan where it was such a pity that we didn’t get to meet the fans. I don’t know if everyone’s able to accept this Hehe~~~~~!

This time we came to Wuhan, something coincidental happened. I didn’t think that 维嘉 Wei Jia hyung (*Lee Wei Jia is a host for Hunan TV) was also having an activity in Wuhan, and unexpectedly, we were staying in the same hotel. After I got hold of this news, I went to Wei Jia hyung’s room and chatted happily with him for the whole night, together with 马松 Ma Song, 大佐 Da Zuo, 李伟 Lee Wei (*I suppose they’re his friends). Because 大佐 Da Zuo and 李伟 Lee Wei had to work the next day, I caused them to miss their sleep for 1 night, hehe~~~! Because I only had an event on the afternoon of the 2nd day, I could sleep longer, but when I reached the venue, I even told them angrily that I was sleepy, and they looked at me… speechless. Hahaha~~~~~~! (Feeling accomplished).

This time I am really very happy to be in Wuhan, seeing your enthusiasm below stage, I felt very blessed on stage, but I kind of wished everyone would take note of their own safety, and not to advocate everyone else to chase us, because it’s very dangerous. Today the craziness of the drivers really scared me, they even caused a jam on the highways. I thought, why didn’t that group of drivers think that their passengers were only a group of teenagers? I hope everyone will take care of their own safety, only with you will I have tomorrow’s stage, I hope everyone will be well.

I’d also like to thank the Shanghai fans who came to fetch us from the airport today. I’ve heard all of your wishes and your “Fighting!”, thank you all~~~~~! I hope the next time I come to Shanghai, it’ll be a stage belonging to SJ-M and everyone, I want to see you all on stage once again, I hope everyone’s happy!!!!!!!!

I love you all!!!
