Who is your favourite leader?

Of Course SJ's Leader Park Jungsoo :D I really like that he has also improved as a leader through the years. The members really respect him and there is no better proof of his leadership than the SJ's staying power! They are still here and for that we must really thank him!

I've also heard one of the SS producers became a fan of his after observing how very really leader-like he is during SS! Our leader is truly daebak! :D

The reason use your username?

Haha my username pre-dates Kpop fandom XD This is actually related to The Lord of The Rings. I think this is supposed to be my elfish name. XD Well what do you know I am still an ELF XD

Recommend a Korean Movie

Oh dear SO MANY good ones, off the top of my head My Sassy Girl, Beast and the Beauty, Hello Ghost, My Little Bride, My Tutor Friend are among my absolute faves :D

SUJU stuff you own/want

HAVE:

1) I think I have all the albums, maybe missing a couple of versions of 2Jib other than A and B
2) Attack of the Pinup boys DVD!
3) SS1, SS4 merchandise (they didn't sell SS2 and SS3 merchandise in my country for some reason -.-)
4) I think I have most official SJ Photobooks
5) I have some 12Plus cologne of some members XD

WANT:
1) SS4 Japan BluRay (And I don't even have a BR player lol)
2) All Japan DVD's tbh XD
3) All Japan version CD's
4) That SJ Sport Jacket they wore in Japan I think

Best solo performance in SS4

It may be my bias heart speaking but I really really enjoyed Yesung's solo XD

It is a ballad but a very powerful one and it just had a very visceral effect on me :3

Special mention to ShinDong since he had some spiffy light show thing going on in the middle of his HyuNa parody perf. He really is such a talented and creative person :D

Oh and EunHyuk's Sorry Sorry Answer was scorching HAWT 8D

Yesung's best hair color; what hair color is the best for Yesung?black,blonde,red,brown,what else?

His black hair suits him a lot! I never thought he would go blonde (I personally thought he was one of the members who refused to have his hair messed with since he didn't really color it for a long time lol) but it really looks good on him too! :3

Best Voice in SJ?; who do you think has the best singing voice in SJ

Well obviously the top 3 spots go to K.R.Y XD I think it just depends on personal taste whose voice you like more, like me I really really like Yesung's voice and he instantly became a bias when I heard him hold that long note in "Wonder Boy" and I haven't been disappointed since XD I used to think RyeoWook's voice was too high and girly but I am glad that he has been able to prove me wrong with his lack of versatility and showed me that his voice is quite lovely and his stint in Immortal Song was really daebak! KyuHyun's voice is just so soothing and relaxing.

After the main vocals is Sungmin, because while he doesn't have the range and power of KRY, his voice is quite lovely and stable and even when I was a new fan I always considered him to be the only member of Super Junior T who can actually sing XD

After him is DongHae who has a pretty stable voice too although i think I only appreciate his voice lately.

Bias aside, i think Kangin's voice is kind of like a warm fuzzy blanket. It has its own charm :3

Fave korean variety show; share your fave variety show and why

TBH aside from SuJu the only other Korean thing I stan with a passion atm is Running Man XD I really really love and enjoy watching that show! It is always a lot of fun to watch and I enjoy all the missions and activities that they have to do XD

I started watching the Hong Kong Special (Episodes 72 and 73) with Jackie Chan and I have not stopped since! Recent enjoyable episode is the one featuring Park JiSung that was really awesome :D

I've also backtracked with thier old episodes. They have changed format of the games but I still really enjoy it :D

Super Junior' siblings; Who do you like the most?

I think my favorite would be Kim JongJin but then arguably I really really like the Kim Family XD

I also like the noona line, its so nice that most of the SJ members actually have noonas XD

I am curious about Lee DongHwa hyung though XD I think he is the only hyung from the main SJ members. Is it true that he is a doctor? He sounds like a good hyung to DongHae though :3

Favorite bias quote

"Actions are more prection than words." - Kangin's tattoo on his back.

Aside from the engrish (which will never get old lol) idk this seems pretty meaningful to Kangin especially with what happened to him and his situation now.

Who is your favaurite maknae?; eternal maknae ryeowook or my kyuhyun..hehe

Lol so hard to pick but lately I've had a fondness for RyeoWoookie :D KyuHyun is just too snarky lately lol.

Favorite SJ MV :)

I think HaengBok just because they all look very cute and happy in that video.

Plus who can resist Super Junior Free Hugs! :3

...I answered questions on a bunch of forum threads and found my answers to be so informative (about myself lol), I copied my answers to repost here XD

~*~

How did you find Kpop?

I had a bunch of friends who are DBSK fans (this was back in 2006), and DBSK shot a cf in my country and my friends brought me to the venue! I feel really stupid now because I really wasn't able to savor the experience since I had no idea who they were XD After that my friends just started pimping/ supplying me with assorted Kpop songs and a few months later I was infatuated with SJ via listening to Miracle a couple hundred times XD

Favourite song of SF&S album

I can't pick just one XD I really like From U but I think all ELF love this song b/c it is really dedicated to us :3 I like Daydream too...actually all the ballads in the album are quite good! Props to the vocals for making it sound great!

I also like Rockstar...I made it into my ringtone xD Also because Kangin said he likes it XD I love Gulliver the raps sound cool and Ryeowooks short but memorable vocal

I just really love this album I guess XD

Which couples do you ship?

Right now I ship QMi, HenBer, YeWook. I think I first shipped KangTeuk because I had a Kangin bias and who can really resist umma :3 I think I also shipped SiHan, but when Geng left I shifted to SiMin XD Now I also like EunHae, basically because they ship themselves a lot lmao XD <3

Addendum: non SJ ship: Khuntoria! XD

Things you do now that you didn't do before k-pop.

Go to another country to watch thier concerts XD My first foreign concert was actually DBSK, but the following year I found myself flying to BKK to watch SS1 XD So happy I did as I was able to watch all 13 members. This year since there was no SS4 in Manila, I flew to BKK and Seoul to watch. It's really fun! my bank acct disagrees lol

SJ's Subgroups; Which SJ subgroup is your favorite?

Before I think I was Super Junior T, cos they were really fun performers and their stages were always fun! XD Now I like SJM too cos I love ZhouMi and Henry and the members there were really cream of the crop of SJ so they had really nice songs :)

Favorite Super Junior Variety Shows

I think it would be Explorers of the Human Body because that was just super crack XD So funny but informative! I also like Full House cos it was funny but also since it showed how they were when they just debuted XD

Intimate Note! I'm a Kangin bias but just everyone/everything on that show was just too funny but heartwarming too :3

Recently thier SNL appearance is really funny XD IDK if thier interviews count but I also enjoy the recent documentaries about them. I just really like knowing more about them

What the thing you can learn from the friendship of Super Junior?

I think that going thru hardships together can make a friendship stronger. Also honesty is always best. Even if they have fought at least in the end they apologize and become better friends.

Reason Why You Like Your Bias; what made you fall in love with your bias?

Currently my SJ biases are 2Woon: Youngwoon and Jongwoon. It's silly but I started liking Kangin after I was reading a fanfic in soompi and I realized that he has the qualities I like in guys. It wasn't easy to have KI for a bias since a lot of people found him to be a bully then, but I think he really speaks well and he is just an adorable bear/raccon xD

I started admiring Yesung during Attack of the Pinup Boys specifically his part in the song Wonder Boys. I was just in awe that he was able to hold his not that long. And I've just discovered new things to like about him! I really admire his talent and determination. My respect for him went up a notch recently when I watched SS4 in BKK I was able to see that his condition was not good, we was coughing so badly off the mic but was able to still sing so well! I don't think anyone except us who saw could tell he was sick. Just all the more props for him!

<3

super junior or solo; who should have a solo album?

Honestly, KRY is like super long overdue for a sub unit album xD I really hope they get one before Yesung goes to the army. I think the reason why they didnt have one before was because even if they are very talented singers, they were percieved to be among the unpopular members. I think we can all agree that that is no longer true and I really hope we can hear them sing their own songs soon :)

have you gone to korea?

I just went there for SS4 Encore. I stayed in Hongdae area. And I went to all the SJ shops / cafes. I guess you can say I went on an SJ pilgrimage lol XD The weather at the time was just going to summer so there was still a bit of a chill (refreshing after the sweltering summer from my country). I recommend saving a lot of money because the currency KRW is almost equivalent (give or take a few cents) to US dollar, so basically you are spending in dollars. Most things are not super cheap, but like albums are cheaper compared to when you have them shipped so buy a lot of those there.

EverySing is heinously overpriced xD do not buy from there unless you really have money XD Or for things you can't get anywhere else. For example Catch Me If You Can musical merchandise were like 2,000 won more expensive in ES than if you buy at the theatre xD It's ridic!

Also you must get in shape if you are going to Seoul! the terrain there is really hilly so even if you are just walking around, it gets tiring. Also if you are planning on going around by subway, there are like several lines and it just goes deeper and deeper under ground T_T some lines do not have escalators so you have to bear it walking stairs. This is super tiring if you are not used to it. Just be prepared for that!

But gaaah I would go back to Korea in a second! <333

macapagal
- hyuk going near the fans and some fantard bumping him.
- siwon and hyuk still waving fr bus (sobs how good natured is hyuk)
- siwon taking pic of fans and tweeting abt it

 

arguably everything can be blamed at siwon tweeting tmi.lol.

 

intramuros, calle real
- fans freaking crowding the shoot area. shoot is cancelled cos crew refused to let kyu out whilst fans were rowdy.
- kyu playing with bus window curtains
- hyuk waving fr (the safety of)  the bus
- somebody filming the crowd with his yellow iPhone

 

some fangirl apparently hugged kyu? i dnt wanna know :-/ but he tweeted v nicely and in good english. sobs.our magnae's the best.

 

this adventure started at naia on the 1st day of 2012 but that failed so hard we are embarrassed to speak of it :(

 

only havent seen kyu now. the moving curtains dont count.

Spent a really nice afternoon among fellow ELF yesterday...and watching clips of Super Shows past with members who are no longer active with the group...it was not as painful or bitter as i thought it would be.

I still think SM totally 'shopped Kibum's face in the photobook because he looked really scruffy in the vid. And Geng well. It was nice to see him too.

Just so really very proud of what Super Junior has accomplished in this last 6 years. As Eeteuk said, it was the fans who made it possible for the 3 month rotation group (as was Suju's original concept) to last all these 6 years. It may have been the fans Teukie, but only because we couldn't help but love you guys :)

HAPPY 6TH ANNIVERSARY SUPER JUNIOR!!!

NUNA WILL ALWAYS HAVE A SPOT IN HER HEART FOR YOU :3

Aigoo why so early Australia? T_T

Updates on my life:

* STRAMA IS KILLING ME OMFG. The company I got is IDEK. Right now I feel SCREWED >.< I am ever so thankful that I got good groupmates for the weekly cases. Otherwise I would have IDEK. We can joke about our terror Professor during our meetings. But during class we are all gripped with, and I kid you not, fear loathing and trembling and A MONTH TO OUR TERM PAPER AND A MONTH AND A HALF TO THE END OF THE TERM. I just keep on praying I can pass this shit in one shot because I CANNOT TAKE REPEATING THIS COURSE, SAPAKAN NALANG TAYO PWEDE BA YON?!

* This has been a policy for quite some time but I guess I am only writing it down now. Not reading Geng-related anything. Nakakasama lang ng loob, so wag nalang. It'a a personal policy designed to not give me any more stress and grief. And I did start out giving him the benefit of the doubt and of "understanding" his predicament. I wish he also tried to "understand" the implications of his actions on Zhou Mi and Henry, because Super Junior is continuing on without him, but I feel bad for the two people who were actually very much affected by this. Yun lang naman. I have conspiracy theories on all this, maybe I should just fic it. No one knows whats really going down anyway.

* I LOVE "NO OTHER" MV. IT IS THE FREAKING JJANG. I HEREBY PROPOSE THAT ASIDE FROM SJ FUNKY, THERE ALSO BE A SJ FEELGOOD GENRE, BECAUSE SHIT SON, THAT IS THE SHIT THAT GOT ME INTO SUJU ANYWAY. AND "NO OTHER" MV IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF WHY SJ FEELGOOD IS THE JJANGEST OF THE JJANGJJANG. MY BOYS, I LOVE THEM SO HARD T.T <3


* KKANG LEFT FOR ARMY LAST MONDAY. I blame him for me cramming our powerpoint presentation (for our class THAT NIGHT), and for me getting colds and still not feeling better up to now. LOL ANG TABA NI CHINGCHING XD And Eeteuk did not cry. I guess he had braced himself for this, and whatever crying happened already in the dorms, days prior to this. I AM SO HAPPY ALL 11 MEMBERS WERE THERE. THE LEVEL OF SUPPORT AND FRIENDSHIP. I AM GOING TO START BLUBBERING AND SHIT.

KKANG. DON'T GO TRYING TO BE UNNECESSARILY BRAVE. JUST RUN AWAY FROM BOMBS AND SHIT. DON'T EVER GO TO NOKOR. OR THE BORDER. OR THE NAVY. OR AFGHANISTAN. DO KOREAN SOLDIERS GO TO AFGHANISTAN? AHDJKFAHKD JUST. DON'T GO THERE T.T COME BACK SAFE, COME BACK TO US T.T WE WILL ALL MISS YOU, AND I TRULY HOPE AND PRAY YOU WILL COME BACK A MUCH MUCH BETTER AND SLIMMER MAN. NUNA SARANGS YOU SO MUCH  T.T <3 NOW SHE CAN FIND A BOYFRIEND WHILE YOU ARE AWAY LOL.

Reposting some Election Guidelines from . Please spread the word! Elections are 5 days away!!!

~

1. The ballot is very sensitive to marks, ink, water, stains, scratches, folds, sweat, etc. If, say, you have grime on your hands, or your fingers are wet, or your sweat drops onto the ballot, the PCOS (Precinct Count Optical Scan) unit will not read it. Keep your hands very clean before voting. That is why indelible ink will be applied on your finger after you have voted, and not before. This is why you will be given your ballot in a very expensive folder—to lessen the actual handling of the ballot with your hands.

2. Shade FULLY the egg-shaped hole beside your chosen candidate. You will be provided with a marker.
Do NOT check, line, X, dot, or half-shade the oval, because the PCOS unit will not read wrong shading. Try not to write beyond the oval.

3. There will be a barcode on the ballot. If this is marked in any way or scratched, the ballot will be spoiled.
If anyone handles the ballot, watch them well, in case they scratch the barcode to spoil your ballot.

4. You will have four tries to put your ballot through the PCOS unit. You can insert it forward, backward, front side up, back side up, whichever, but only four tries. If after the fourth it doesn’t read properly, say goodbye to the ballot.

5. You have one chance to have your ballot changed if you don’t like it. That’s when they first hand it to you. Inspect it right away. If you see folds, scratches or marks, you can ask for another one.

6. Bring a list (codigo) of your chosen candidates so you won’t spend too much time filling out the ballot. If you start weighing your choices only at the precinct, you'll be wasting time.

7. Mark no more than the exact number of choices. Vote for only one president, one vice president, not more than 12 senators, one party-list, one mayor, one vice mayor, one member of the House of Representatives, etc. The limit will be indicated on your ballot (as in “Vote for not more than __”). If you vote more than the specified number, that portion of the ballot is invalidated.
You may, however, vote for fewer than 12 senators.

8. Watch the readout on the PCOS unit when you insert your ballot. If successful, it will read, “Congratulations! Your ballot has been scanned.” If not, it will say why (i.e. "improper shading,” etc.). Make sure you read “Congratulations” before exiting to make sure your vote is counted.

9. Bring an ID (Voter’s ID is best. But if you don’t have one, present a driver’s license, passport, etc., any valid ID with your address and preferably a photo) to the Board of Election Inspectors.
If you can find out beforehand through your barangay, get your Voter’s ID number, precinct number, and your sequence number (the number beside your name on the list). This should speed up your voting.

10. If you have Internet connection, visit today the Commission on Elections website and click here to find out if you are registered, what your precinct number is, and its location.

11. The ballot given to you will only be readable by one specific PCOS unit. It is pre-registered at your precinct, so when you’re ready, line up at the proper machine. If you line up at the wrong machine; your ballot won’t be read, and that may spoil your vote.

12. Polls open on May 10 at 7 AM and voting ends at 6 PM. Come early to have time to solve any problem.

13. The PCOS units have internal batteries that can last up to 16 hours in case of power outages. Since the voting period lasts 10 hours, there would be a six-hour buffer.

14. The PCOS unit will print out the vote count in what looks like a very long cash register receipt (whose print will last for five years), which will be put into a sealed box and sent to the Comelec.
The unit will count the voters based on the ballots inserted into it.
Watch the screen for important messages.

15. It is stressed that voters should not make mistakes. Do NOT make mistakes, otherwise, you’ll spoil your ballot.

P.S. There are talks going around that cameras will not be allowed in the voting premises, so bloggers beware.
If camera phones are allowed please document any anomalous activities and report it online, to news agencies, or send them to chuvaness@livejournal.com
Protect your vote in these very expensive and crucial elections. God bless us all.

This was Kangin's fan cafe post yesterday. So I guess thats that.

Hello, it’s KangIn. How are you?

As you know, I am having a time to look back on myself. I am finally posting after several tries of erasing and writing again.
I really want to say that I’m sorry with my head bowing down to all of you who supported me and loved me all the way.
My days are now about regretting and reflecting on why I just went by so many things that are important to me.
I’ve had a lot to think about every time someone asked me if I was going to be part of 4jib activities.

As a result, I am finally posting this.

4jib album’s work is almost over, now waiting to meet the fans..
And for me, I thought that it was too early for me to take part in 4jib album activities and thought that I’d better have more time to think about myself… So I don’t think I’ll be seeing you guys for the upcoming activities.

The army.. where as a Korean man, you have to go once in your life..
I was wondering of when I should go and now I think it’s time for me to do so.
I don’t have an exact date, but I will be enrolling in the army in a short while.

But I’m always cheering for our members up close, and on the stage with them all the time.

The album was done by our members who tried really hard, so please give lots of love.

As KangIn cannot exist without Super Junior, Please give a lot of support and love.

I want to be back as soon as possible to be with the members so you guys can see it.

Please cheer for Super Junior, as it’s my beginning and end.

All of you fans make sure you stay healthy.

Hope everything works out for you.

I’ll be Back~~^^*
