SEUNG JO’s DIARY #1
MORNING OF THE NEWLYWEDS

RING———
The noisy ringing of the alarm woke me.
Ha Ni, she who will not be awakened no matter how noisy the alarm clock is.

Won’t wake up even if the alarm has been set,
Why then (does she) bother to set the alarm?
Been revising and preparing for exams till the wee hours of the night throughout the weekend.
Really wanted to sleep a little more today.
It’s truly the pestering Oh Ha Ni ah!
Bride? Hubby?
*sighs* (We’ve) been married for a year now,
and you’re still not letting go of the newlywed game…

To be honest,
since we got married, we’ve not experienced life as a newly-wedded couple
leading their lives on their own, with just the two of us,
so it’s really hard to truly feel what it’s like to be newly-weds.
Eun Jo’s around in the house,
so I can’t express my love for you too openly or explicitly.
(This is) the first time with just the two of us (at home),
this morning, I really wanted to create a day
that’s as memorable as precious gems.

You’d been worrying about preparing a grand feast since morning.
The sausages, the toast, they’re all burnt, the beans were half-baked,
You’re truly the bona fide Oh Ha Ni ah…
But still, the coffee’s good.
The best coffee has got to be coffee that you drink together with the one you love.
This morning, I must be the happiest and most fortunate person in the whole wide world,
and I must be the one with the most yummlicious breakfast too!

You didn’t sleep well at all the whole of last night,
Just because you were planning and working out how to spend the day with me.
English breakfast, coffee,
and how you woke up early in the morning to shop for ingredients,
to do the laundry, to pick up clothes for me,
and to watch a romantic movie together with me.

Just like a fool, you were muttering to yourself. Haha.
Just for me, you keep giving more and all of yourself,
No matter who, no one’s love can compare to your love for me.

Oh Ha Ni… like this… truly adorable and makes me love you so.
What you feel for me, I seem unable to repay or give you back something in return.
Today, I willingly give all of myself and devote my entire being, body and soul,
to be your ‘present’.
This heart of mine, this present is your plans for today.
You wanted to go watch the movie now, no?
And you’ve selected the clothes for me to wear, no?

Oh Ha Ni…
Just as I had expected, it’s couple outfits from top all the way to our toes.
Everyone’s looking at us, as though they’re laughing at us.
It’s really annoying (embarrassing?)… this situation.

But, the whole of today, I’m willing to be your ‘present’,
so let’s just do as you wish.
Let us just live like this.
For you, I stooped to tie your shoelaces without a trace of awkwardness;
Just like the shoelaces, our hearts too are tied together.

To love and care for each other, to serve each other,
let’s just live together like this!
Even if, faced with dirty feet that are embarrassing even to ourselves.
“Hubby!” Coz you’re in my arms, I’m holding you,
even the sweet scent of the wild flowers seem to have drifted over…
Oh alright, let me be your village woman (*country bumpkin?) today!
(Chinese translator: Hehe, I’m not too sure what this really means
*bb: I’m just guessing maybe it’s more like country bumpkin coz of the couple outfits…?)

“What is it, bride?”
You really really like my unexpected response, ya?
Oh Ha Ni, who threw herself at me like that,
and giving me a peck on the cheek before running away in shyness.

You shy laughter spread in the surrounds,
as though the sprouts were budding, and the flowers were blooming.
This morning, your face, and mine too,
were shining with happiness just like fireworks.

-The End-

I know this has been posted, but Ode’s writing made it crystal clear so I’m shoving it here, so that we will all know the truth.

The first on top is the ‘untrue’ version as reported in news portals.
The second one at bottom is the ‘true’ version as stated by Keyeast.

The situation is:
HJ has been claimed to have violated the rules by letting loose in an interview with the Korean media about his participation in this GAME, when he wasn’t supposed to have done so.
However, before the Korean media reported these on 3rd waking-up morning, the China media have already reported this news in the wee-dawn morning of 3rd nov. Which hints, even if there may be any fault, it should have been quoted from the China media presses — first

Keyeast has given assurance in their notice that they have already received permission to; so it was not the truth as said in reports. They also expressed that there were no media interviews held with the organizing committee side at all, and this was confirmed by the committee themselves.

So, tell me where did the problem go wrong in? Instead, the most innocent one gets dragged into the waters.

Big tree invites strong wind

================================================

 

 

Kim Hyunjoong who has signed on a contract with the organization committee to participate in the [16th ASEAN Guangzhou Games] on upcoming 12th November has seemingly violated their contracted rules.

Kim Hyunjoong is expected to sing the official theme song of this sports event [Sunshine Again] along with 3 other famous China singers in front of 10K audiences on this day’s opening ceremony.

This was known through a report from Kim Hyunjoong’s agency Keyeast on the 3rd. However, it was revealed that news of Kim Hyunjoong’s participation be kept a confidential secret in their contract, which thus brought about much surprise.

On the 5th, China’s influential news site [Beijing Youth Papers] held an interview with the overall director Chen Wei (transliteral).

Director Chen Wei expressed, “With it now made known that Kim Hyunjoong will be participating in our opening ceremony, it has turned into quite some trouble for us”, “Even in China, we are keeping to strict confidentiality of our participating singers. It’s hard to comprehend”, as he revealed.

He continued to add on, “It is the exact amazement of this all wherein we will reveal the singers for the theme song only on the opening ceremony day itself”, “It’s really bewildering why news of Kim Hyunjoong’s participation gets reported through the Korean media presses first. We signed on to keep this to strict confidentiality though, but now it’s been violated, it’s so sorry to hear of”.

However, Chen Wei showed understanding towards Kim Hyunjoong, “There’s about 10K audiences who will turn up at the opening ceremony this time. Since it will be live broadcast on TV, there will be again 10K number of audiences looking at Kim Hyunjoong”, “Probably Kim Hyunjoong feels this to be a great honour, so he let it loose first. Will understand towards this point and not pursue it further”.

On the other hand, Kim Hyunjoong will leave for Guangzhou on 11th and stand on the opening ceremony stage on 12th.

Hello. This is Keyeast.

We are here to deliver the fallacious news reports that were released on news portal sites today regarding Kim Hyunjoong ssi’s signed contract terms to stand on the opening ceremony stage of the 16th Guangzhou Asean Games. As pertaining to these reports, we have been receiving many concern phone calls and enquiries from fans, thus we are here to say a piece.

Before the media released reports of Kim Hyunjoong ssi’s participation in the 16th Guangzhou ASEAN Games, Keyeast has already received official permission from the organizing committee board. Currently, the organizing committee board has also confirmed this to be untrue content as reported in the articles, to which they expressed regret as well, and we are working together to take further preventive measures.

We ask for all you fans’ understanding though we might have posed confusion to all of you through the untrue reports that differs from fact. We will work hard to greet you all with better news in future.

Thank you.

KEYEAST

And with our special Youtube version this time round, our domestic video contents businesses have also aroused large interest in taking their developments onto Youtube.
