Like most girls SY wanted it to be more intimate but then it happened that way... but still they were sincere. But honestly I wanted to fast forward the scene where WY was dancing but then I realized I was watching it live so no ff. But its nice they were able to talk a lot before the wedding. SY was flabbergasted when she saw the many people who came to witness the wedding but WY missed the rare chance to hold SY's hand when she wanted him to. Understandale since both of them were panicing when they saw the crowd.

Streaming links?

I have been itching to spazz about the latest episode!DID YOU ALL SEE THAT!?All those skinship moments! Their speed just went bullet train speed on them! I was giggling like an idiot the whole time! Those little moments when WY got to hold SY's hand, being on the bed together and the super cute-awkward-sudden moment when WY wanted SY to lean on his shoulder. SY likes Channing Tatum and kept on exclaiming how cool he is in front of WY (I would too!). WY kept on saying he wasn't pissed when Sy "ran away" from the lean-your-head-on-my-shoulder thing.They were both stunned by it which is so cute to watch! They even shared the same fork when they were eating the sweet(?) potato when they were watching the movie.
Oh! SY has another song with Standing Egg! Been such a huge fan of Standing Egg and so glad there's more music coming from them having released just a new one last month. I hope WY and SY records a song while they're in their marriage since they both love indie music, I hope they do one of the genre.
I love how Danny Ahn is such a fanboy for this couple, he hand his hands together asking how he could wait for another week (which we all can relate).
Oh well, school has swallowed me alive. I'll be lurking in here once in a while. -
Just finished watching the raw and my cheeks are aching from laughing!!I had no idea Wooyoung could be that cute!!! He was practically having a mental breakdown right there and then. I can't wait how this couple turns out, and I'm sure they'll be so cute and fun when they get closer but the awkwardness and the clumsiness(?) as of this stage is so fun to watch that I'm excited to watch them as they move from this stage to the next.
-
I just finished watching all of Win... They've been through a lot and I hope to see more of them in the future!!!

It's been a while since I posted here... school ate me alive and I'm here just to sneak in a big bomb(?).

Continuation:
In the car:
WB: But then where are we going?
JH: First, we need to go to the supermarket.
SH: We need to buy some groceries in the supermarket.
WB: Where is the final destination?
SH: First. . .
JH & SJ: Gapyeong
WB: Gapyeong
SH: Woo Bin-ah, you don’t need to feel pressured but we arranged everything to match your schedule.
In the supermarket:
SH: First, I need to buy a lip balm.
WB: We don’t have time Lee Soo Hyuk-ssi
They go select food to cook
SH: Today, let’s eat what Woo Bin wants to eat.
JH: Why?
SH: Just. . . let’s do what you want to do. Seriously! It’s because I want to eat what you want.
They’re choosing meat and asks the employee if it’s enough to feed 5.
They just go around shopping for other items.
Oh these boys! JH was wondering if they should buy flowers. Why is it so fun to watch them grocery shopping?
In the counter
SH: I think we bought everything (we need) already.
PD: Who’s going to pay?
JH: We should do rock-paper-scissors.
SH: Are we paying it?
WB: What’s this? If I knew it was like this, I wouldn’t have done it.
JH: Hey, it’s not like this would add up to so much. Can’t you buy us even just one meal?
WB: Why are you saying that to me?
They do rock-paper-scissors. On the first round everyone puts out paper.
SH: The one who loses, pays. You all have your wallets, right?
Moments before the game JH told WB and SJ to put out paper.
They play and they all put out paper. The next round no one wins. Then on the third one SH, WB and SJ put out paper while JH puts out rock and he loses. (he was the one who suggested it!)
SJ: Fool!
JH: Seriously!
SJ: Dummy!
JH: Why doesn’t it match up!
JH pays and gets a round of applause in return. Hahahahha!
Back to the road again!
They got so silent! They didn’t know what to talk about.
SJ: What should we talk about?
WB: Yes, so we already bought some stuff.
SH: Was it okay when you paid the bill?
JH: It’s okay. Just don’t talk to me anymore.
SJ: Oh! It’s where my ex-girlfriend lived.
WB: What did you say?
JH: Hey! Record a video letter!
(it’s so hard to decipher what WB was saying.)
WB: Must you say that in broadcast?
SJ: You’re living well, right?
SJ: This is the way I take when I take her home.
JH: This is the way you take when you take her home?
SJ: I’m remembering the path we took together.
JH: Honestly, I also came to this neighborhood often when I was in high school.
SH: Why?
SJ and WB: A word to her (not so sure about this one. They’re all talking!!)
JH: Hey! What’s her name? Do you remember now?
JH: How tall was she?
SJ: Her height was. . .
WB: Did you like her? Did you love her? (bwahahahhah!)
SJ: I wanna go home!
WB: He loved her.
SH: It’s really nice being with you guys.
JH: I really can’t do this.
They stop at a rest area and WB’s umbrella flips!
The PD instructs WB to record a video message while the others make their escape.
A while back, SJ and SH had a plan
SH: First, as starters we leave him on the rest area.
SJ: I think he’s gonna get mad.
SH: Because of the rain?
JH: What if we really do leave him there; he can’t get mad because he’s being filmed.
SJ: (I can’t make it out)
WB follows the instruction of the PD. (poor WB!)
WB: Hello, this is Kim Woo Bin. Today, for the first time 4 of us guys are going for a trip. It airs Monday at 11 so please watch.
Staff: You’ve worked hard.
WB: Thank You.
Staff: You just need to ride the car with the members.
WB: Yes. Please be careful on your way.
Staff: Yes.
WB is trying to call the others. First JH.
JH: I feel sorry all of a sudden.
SH: No.
SH: He’s calling SJ now.
SJ: I’ll answer it then hang up right away.
SH & JH: No.
SH: We need to keep tricking him for the whole day. Now. . . He’s calling.
SH: A top star (I can’t make it out). He’s panicking.
He calls SH and this time they pick up.
WB: Hyung, where are you?
SH: We’re on our way.
WB: Who’s gonna be taking me then?
SH: Who’s taking you?
WB: Weren’t you supposed to wait?
SH: They told us to go.
WB: What’s this? I’m all by myself.
SH: What? Try calling your manager.
WB: I called and he said he was going to check on it.
SH: PD-nim! He said he’s waiting all by himself. Shouldn’t we let him ride with us again? Is it far to go back?
JH (voice-acting as PD): No. Go ahead.
SH: Alright. I’ll call you back.
WB: Okay.
SH: Let’s go back after 5 mins.
SJ: Dummy!
They go to get WB.
JH: There he is.
JH: He’s irritated. He’s irritated.
SH: He’s irritated now.
SJ: Stop. Stop.
SH: Quiet for a while. He’s (SJ) is on the phone.
SJ: What are you saying? I told you it’s Gapyeong. You should have made an appointment beforehand.
SH: What’s he saying?
SJ: Whatever. I’m hanging up.
WB: What did he say?
SJ: Let’s go first then I’ll explain when we get down.
It’s so AWKWARD in the car!!! With JH and SH secretly smiling!
They reach their destination. I’ll just do a summary of the next scenes since it’s pretty understandable while watching them.
They make a bet on doing that water jet thing. They just need to stand and fly(?) with that thing. SH suggest that the one that fulfills the mission would get a round of applause! (hahaahhaha!) WB suggest washing the dishes and that makes SH want to back out. They end up just agreeing to do their best with that thought that something is at stake.
WB: This is WB’s self camera.
WB: The first one is athlete Hong Jong Hyun. How do you feel?
JH: The first one could hesitate. ( I can’t make out the rest)
WB: The second is Bang Sung Joon.
They ask the guy if one can make it on the first try and get some pointers. JH goes first. And SJ is worried for his turn.
You can watch the rest…
There’s still a part 2 of their trip next week! Kim Young Kwang is gonna be catching up with them based on the preview!!!
-
I started Dling at about 2 or 3 in the afternoon and the DL completes at almost 12 midnight?!! It was a humongous file though. 5 GB! Though the vid quality is really nice. I'm gonna post some screencap when I get the time.
Since it's already late I'm gonna do a brief summary of the Playboyz segment of Style Log.
Soo Hyuk and Jong Hyun made snapback caps and tshirts the one they made from the previous eps. JH wanted to use the caps and shirts for an outing together with their close friends and off they went contacting their close friends whom we already know, Woo Bin and Sung Joon.
They went to pic Sung Joon first and Woo Bin next. BUT!!! They decide to pull a prank on Woo Bin. SH is so happy that coming from the same company (both of WB and SH are from SidusHQ) comes in handy when pulling such pranks. They actually played cahoots with WB's manager, they had WB believe that he's going for his M Countdown recording so he was dressed "like a superstar". They barged in just saying "annyeong!"SH:Woo Binie annyeong!
JH: Woo Binie annyeong!
SH: It's been a long time!
JH: were you reading the script?
WB: What's this?
SH: where are you going today?
WB: Mcountdown
SH: Mcountdown? What are you going to do there?
WB: What's this?
JH: Who told you about M countdown?
SH: Did your manager tell you about that?
JH: We're going to do Mcountdown.
SH: We're going to do something like Mcountdown today. There's also cameras.
WB: Is this Style Log?
SH: It's Style Log. First, you will be filming Style Log all day today.
WB: What's with him? (referring to Sung Joon)
SH: We also asked a favor from Sung Joon. We will be filming for Style Log today.
JH: We'll just go out and play today.
SH: I also talked to the company about it.
WB: What about Mcountdown?
SH: Mcountdown? You don't need to go.
JH: They won't broadcast Mcountdown.
SH: They left for the US for the KCON. I told them to go to the US.
WB: This isn't hidden camera, right?
SH: They can do without you. You will be filming Style Log for the whole day.
SH to the staff: What time do we finish filming today? Will it end after the sun rises tomorrow?
(I can't make up what the PD said)
WB: What's this? I have an appointment.
SH: What? Is it with guys?
WB: *nods*
SH: You don't need to go then.
*laughs*
SH: we're going to be doing Style Log with Woo Bin and since we need to explain. . .
JH: We will explain to him.
SH: We can cut it here, right?
SH: I'm sorry for barging in with the cameras
and that's it for now... I need to sleep I gotta go to school early tomorrow. I'll get back when I come back for my afternoon break tomorrow.
-
Just came from school and even when I was in school I was madly searching for any updates on the Style Log ep 3 but the only one available is still the torrent DL and since I am desperate, it's still DLing as of the moment and it's so slow!!! I've been refreshing my search in youku.com where I usually watch style log but still no one has uploaded the episode(maybe they are still stuck DLing the ep just like me). I saw some of the people from tumblr with screencaps of the ep since I was in school this morning and I really can't wait to get my hands on the episode!!!
EDITAnd after a million refreshing!!! Finally!!!

Still quiet in here?!
Woo Bin Oppa fulfilled his promise to come back as a guest on Shimshimtapa!
Link to the video of the radio guesting here ----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sX1rAGTIaTU
He was introduced as the person who came in just to greet the listeners but ended up doing 12 elephant turns and even promised to come back after a few months. Shin Dong said that his manager said that Woo Bin was the one who said to make sure he goes back to the radio show since some fans might be waiting for him. Shin Dong asked him before the show if there is something he wants to avoid and he just murmured to himself about "singing". Since he is going to be decorating a cake he was asked if he can cook well and Shin Dong said that if the parents can cook well then it can contribute to the cooking skills of the child since their taste buds are used to the taste. Woobin said his mom can cook really well and said that his mom's kimchi stew is his fave but when asked if he could cook kimchi stew he said he tried but turns out that it turns out to be just kimchi soup. He was asked what he cooks when he is alone and he said just basic stuff so Shin Dong asks if he can cook ramyun well but he can't get the ratio of the water right. But he said he found a way, he just counts up to 3 after he turns the faucet on (how cute is that!!!). Shin Dong says that it would be trouble if he moves houses. He came in and did some of the request that the fans sent to the station. He was given 2 chances to refuse but then it turned to be 3. I think he's bad at multi-tasking since he forgets to answer the question while decorating the cake.- One fan asked him to do the "buing-buing" with matching actions. And he did it. First he just did it with his voice but then Shin Dong told him that the hands were the point in that and he considered enough before doing it. Shin Dong asked if he's good with acting cute but then Woo Bin told him that he first thought that he was good at it but it turns out that he just likes skinship. Shin Dong asks him if he likes skinship in a relation ship and Woo Bin tried to dodge the question by wanting to use the "PASS" but then it was just Shin Dong's follow up questions.
- One fan asked him to speak in saturi, considering he speaks the dialect for his upcoming movie Friends 2. He passed on this one.
- One fan requested him to kiss the camera. But then Shin Dong emphasized that since it's a radio show so the sound should be more pronounced. Woo Bin was flustered considering that the show just started. He was concerned about how many questions are left and passed on this one again.
- One fan requested something I can't decipher (heheehehh!) But then it made Woo Bin so taken aback that he asks "what did I do wrong" (poor guy!) Even Shin Dong said he would definitely pass this up. Woo Bin thinks the requests are really extreme.
- The next request wants Woo Bin to make a morning call. And he just simply said "wake up" and Shin Dong says that usually morning calls usually has the tone and volume escalating. Then Woo Bin makes the morning call "Wake up. wake up. if you won't get up then sleep til tomorrow"
- Next request is for him to sing a song and almost automatically he asks if how many questions are left so that he can pass. and so he did. He asked Shin Dong if they wont be asking the same questions again like the next question would be please sing sing a song.
- The last question was please pick a song. They were laughing cause it's sort of the same request. SD asked him if he can sing well or what then Woo Bin said that he barely did a song on his fan meeting last year though usually fan meetings go with 2 songs. SD said that almost 80% of the requests were for him to sing. And one fan requested him to sing a song from the drama he used to sing(?). The director of the drama asked him to record the song and then lip sync when shooting the scene but seems like it didn't go well. One fan just said that he should choose between singing and dancing. Woo Bin asks if he has to do that for the broadcast to be interesting then SD tells him that if he does something that he hasn't done in other broadcasts then it would save their show and would promote SD name too. Then Woo Bin tells him that he's not lying and that if ever he really does that then he won't greet SD when they see each other next time but then SD says then he can just greet him then until he receives his greeting. He says he'll just do one and since dancing would be unfair for those listening to the show and so SD said that's why they prepared the video. And so Woo Bin chose to dance and he dances to SJ's Sorry Sorry but SD requests him to dance the shoulder dance and once Woo Bin did the dance SD was so happy.
The fan that came to taste the cake has arrived and Woo Bin gets to taste it first.The fan gets to taste the cake with Woo Bin feeding her (such a lucky fan!!! Dying of envy!!!)The fan can't even look at Woo Bin. SD asks her to express how the cake tastes and she says it's delicious. And she rates it 3.5 out of 10. (heh! she's honest) Even Woo Bin says that the cake was soft since he tasted it too. She was asked how his hands felt since she touched it since she touched his hands and she says it was nice and warm. She wins a 5 sec eye contact with Woo Bin.
Woo Bin was asked how this experience has been and he says he's a bit regretful and SD suggests he come back again and Woo Bin wasn't able to answer that easily unlike before. He said that it was nice to be able to meet the fans like this even for a short while. And just like before he doesn't know what he did (hahahahhahaha!) And he says thank you to his manager hyung who had to quit due to personal reasons.
Just tried a summary of the radio guesting so...

Here for another Woo Bin Oppa dose for the day!

watch the video of the interview ---->Translator: deenakahara
Note: As usual, all narration part are omitted. Please let me know if I mistranslated anything.Q: What makes you came with wearing a jersey like this?
Woobin: Today is the filming for an alcoholic beverage ad.

And the stalking for everything Woo Bin related continues
I found this TV Daily interview of Lee Soo Hyuk from http://wtheol.tumblr.com/post/58685610143/here-are-some-highlights-i-translated-from-the- As someone who’s quite shy in front of strangers, I do have a playful side in front of my friends. However I find it difficult to do aegyo [yes we know lol]. In a scene in “Shark” where I had to confess sincerely with my eyes, I felt so uneasy that I cringed. When told that Kim Woobin likes to be aegyo with his hyungs like hugging them and such, Soo Hyuk says that Woobin has never done that to him as he knows he doesn’t like it.
- A few words on his modeling friends:
Kim Woobin - he’s a very optimistic guy, he tries hard at everything he does, and holds on firmly to every good opportunity that comes his way.
Kim Young Kwang (who’s now appearing in KBS’ “Good Doctor”) - we talk often and lend each other support. Young Kwang is a very dedicated and sincere actor, and wants to show his best side through this drama. I wish him success and I will give him my fullest support.
Hong Jong Hyun (article says Soo Hyuk kept praising him) - I like Jong Hyun and I suggested that we MC together for Style Log. I like to complain sometimes, but Jong Hyun always has a positive energy so the 2 of us have good chemistry, plus it’s fun working together. He’s kind and very smart so he will do well.
- Recently I chatted with the cast of White Christmas. We’ve all matured a bit and think it would be great to work on a project together again [omg are you serious yes pleeeeeeeeease]. Of course Woobin is so popular these days we don’t know if that’s possible, but I think it’ll be extra meaningful if all of us can be leads in something together.
- On variety:
It’ll be fun if me, Kim Young Kwang, Sung Joon, Kim Woo Bin, and Hong Jong Hyun can go on Running Man together [omg are you kidding]. Just picture a bunch of tall guys scrambling around is already a fun image. Because of our personality it’s not easy for us to entertain viewers with jokes, so which variety show can we do well on? Contrary to some people’s perception of models, we’re not so cool in real life, we’ll probably trip or make a fool of ourselves, and viewers can see a different side of us. Sung Joon is surprisingly talkative, Woobin even more heodang (Korean slang for slightly odd goofy bumbling personality) when hanging out with us. [have they seriously thought about this?!]
I love Infinity Challenge and will not miss an episode. Shin Dong Yup (from Vampire Idol days) is a very good hyung and gives me a lot of great advice.
- The reporter asked Soo Hyuk to describe himself in one sentence, he got embarrassed and said that’s too hard. So he asked her how Woobin and Sung Joon responded when she interviewed them previously. When told that Woobin described himself as a question mark, Soo Hyuk laughingly replied: “Using one sentence is too tough. I’m an exclamation mark then! Why? Because Woobin is a question mark.” [lol why are you so awkward]I love seeing interviews such as this. It just shows the friendship between these beautiful guys! The world must be out of balance for having these guys as friends. I really do hope we could see them as guests in Running Man!!! That's a really big gift for us fans!!I watched them act together in White Christmas and in Vampire Idol and I do hope a chance would come for them to work together and being in a variety show would be a PLUS since we get to see a peek in their real personas.

I was searching about things on Oppa and stumbled upon this interview.
“Crisscrossing runway and screen: Rising actor Kim Woo-bin has looks, style and sincerity” by Park Jin-hai
(Above photo caption: Kim Woo-bin poses in Seongdong-gu, Seoul on Aug. 9. / Korea Times photo by Huh Yoon-jin.)
"Toughness" is what people expect from actor Kim Woo-bin.
When he takes to the runway, his eyes glitter with a glint of seduction and devilishness. When he walks and talks, this tall-and-lean framed model-actor sometimes comes across as a vampire (thanks to his teeth), but also like the teen rebels that he has portrayed in several dramas, including “School 2013.”
But, behind the villain-like look and style, the 24-year-old has the most unexpected characteristics - seriousness and sincerity. These features stand out from the hyper-and- lighter side demonstrated by other stars his age.
"I was a rather quiet student, studying hard. Once I was ranked fifth in a school exam out of everyone in the same grade," he coyly but proudly said during the interview with The Korea Times. The actor’s positive side shines through as a role-model as he urges teenage girls not to wear makeup and teenage boys to not fight at his fan meetings.
No one would have expected him to go into modeling, but that’s where he got his first break in entertainment.
"I said I wanted to be a model when I was in middle school. Everyone close to me raised doubts, except for my parents," he said. "My parents trusted me and gave me full support. Before I started my modeling career at 20, I used to replay fashion show videos on-line and study how famous models walk and pose on runways."
He has been in numerous fashion shows big and small, and has established his name in the industry. He, in fact, received the New Star Award at the Asia Model Festival Awards in 2013.
(Photo caption: Kim Woo-bin, left, stars in “Friend 2,” directed by Kwak Gyeong-taek, right, in this file photo. Kim will play of the son of Han Dong-soo, played by Jang Dong-gun in “Friend” (2001). The movie will be released in November. / Courtesy of Trinity Entertainment)
Kim said his other career pursuit as an actor came, when he was asked to act at pre-meetings for commercials. “I started studying acting to become a better model. But, in the course of doing so, I found myself feeling the same thrill and enthusiasm that I felt the first time I came to walk on the runway,” he said.
Asked about the different charms between modeling and acting, he said “They are rather similar, in that they both require basic skills, but there cannot be a single or definite answer to that question. Depending on the amount of hard work and thought you put in, the end result can be different. That, to me, is the biggest charm of both,” he added.
Kim concurs that he is currently more of an actor than a model, but he wishes that he could manage both, like actor Cha Seung-won, who is 43 and yet crisscrosses between the runways and screens.
He enjoys the best run of his career, culminating with the lead role in the movie “Friend 2,” the sequel to the hit movie “Friend” (2001) that starred such big name stars as Jang Dong-gun (who played the character Han Dong-soo) and Yoo Oh-sung. Kim plays Han Sung-hoon, the son of Han Dong-soo who died in the first movie. The movie has finished shooting and waits for November release.
He is also cast for the upcoming drama “The Heirs” with Lee Min-ho and Park Shin-hye. The SBS drama will be written by Kim Eun-sook, who has previously worked with Kim Woo-bin in “Gentleman’s Dignity.” It is expected to air in October and will be set in a high school attended by affluent teens.
Kim seems well poised to grow into the next generation hallyu star. Chinese and Taiwanese fans increasingly call for fan meetings, and to meet their calls he recently opened his page on Weibo, China’s most popular social media platform.
The rising rookie Kim maintained a calm and sincere attitude throughout the whole interview. When asked questions, he would pause from time to time before relaying his thoughts. That attitude seems to have come from the many years he had endured as an underpaid model-to-be, with a dream of spreading his wings one day.
According to him, when times were tough, he has kept telling himself the famous quote from a book “God gives trials to only those who can overcome the pain.” “It motivated me to get through the hardships.”
Time must be on his side these days. Kim has also bagged an emcee role on Mnet’s music program “M! Countdown,” where he will be hosting the popular music program from Aug.15.

I was rewatching old interviews of RJY in light of the dating confirmation and stumbled upon the interview with KBS Entertainment Weekly when he was asked if there was an actress he would want to work with in the future he mentioned Hyeri stating that the heartbreaking lovestory between their characters as the reason and that he would want to work with her in another project. Oh well he just grabbed the chance in real life!!!
My Junghwan loving heart is so happy!!! I slept with a smile last night!
