Simul-posting with the chingus. LOL.

Song Joong Ki has always been a kind man, and time and time again, he has shown that through giving time, money, and effort to causes that are meaningful to many.

Back in 2011, his birthday was made extra special by his fans whose help he enlisted to make a difference in UNICEF's charitable efforts.

Here was his and his fans' contribution to UNICEF back in 2011.

Thanks to Ace Chingu @koreasongsongcouple and Ms. Capable!

Damn! It's already D-7 until SJK's birthday! With whom will he be spending it with? I hope with family, friends, and his special girl, Kyo! LOL.

Today's birthday message for Big Boss comes from Ms. Elza from New York.

Please read the image's accompanying description to read her full message.

And of course, thank you to Ace Chingu from @koreasongsongcouple for the update and hugs to Ms. Capble!

To those who made the correction and properly credited @koreasonsongcouple for the 1N2D translations, thank you!

Once again, another person on SNS, specifically someone on IG, lifted the 1N2D translations of our friends from @koreasongsongcouple. Even when that person was confronted, the person denied their culpability, claiming that they did the translation themselves; did they make the same errors and put the same grammatical imprints there. I'm sorry, but a number of us were there when we worked on the translation. It took a village, folks. LOL. Just because plagiarism is more prevalent now because of social media doesn't make it any less acceptable. 

If this keeps up, translations might not be provided anymore in the future.

So, please, credit the rightful owners! And own up to your bad choice when you're called out!

Thanks!

LOL. Was gonna simul-post this with @Amy Phan! But, looks like someone beat us to it on the thread. LOL. In the last hour and a half, we've been trying to coordinate this with @koreasongsongcouple. LOL. Aigoo. Our good friend Ace Chingu from @koreasongsongcouple provided the following translation of the 1N2D's cast's phone conversation with our SHK!

In this episode of 1N2D, the cast reenact scenes from DOTS, and some of the questions they ask Kyo are actually lines from DOTS. SJK's girl is quick and smart enough to play along and be in character.

But over all, it's just cute how the guys completely become fanboys!

Q: Your hair is very short?

Q: We asked Hye Ri with whom she wants to appear in the next drama. Can you guess whom she chose?

Q: Now you won the big award?
JK: While observing many countries produce many works, I feel a sense of responsibility and am happy. 
Q: Why did you say SHK comes to your mind?

In SJK's acceptance speech, he said, “Winning this award has made me more humble since I still have a lot of things to learn.” He also expressed his gratitude to the two writers and staffs. As for the question the question the MC asked him, “Who comes to [your] mind most right now?” SJK said SHK comes to his mind the most after watching the DOTS scenes on the screen while Gummy and K Will sang the show's OSTs. At that moment, he missed SHK the most, the original Hallyu star, and he added the award was more fitting for her, so, he was receiving it on her behalf.
