That's when Jedong crossed dressed as Dambi and practically glomped Oppa. XDDDD

^ I remember now ahaha~ His smile is just so beautiful *dies*

Thanks a lot , Tiffy. You're the best!

[09.02.07] Dongwan’s blog: 2009 (to GOOD EMG and YG)

I’m asking GOOD EMG and YG for a favor.

The two companies are fully aware of the lightstick issue,

And I barely managed to hear some news of them saying that they will work hard to correct the situation.

But I can’t see any effort from you.

It’s not that difficult to put an official notice on the official websites of the two companies.

Please….

Please let us see your efforts.

This is not just my lone voice.

These are the voices of more than 20,000 people who support Shinhwa,

The voices from CLUB H.O.T. who want to protect the color white,

The voices from fan.G who want to protect the color sky blue.

Whether it’s people, or love, they will fade with time, they will change.

But the color that reminds people of us, or them, can be kept from fading.

And if it can be protected but no one puts in effort to do so, that must not happen.

Hyesung is about to start on his solo activities.

If Hyesungie.. stands on stage..

I hope there won’t be a case of him feeling empty and alone seeing such an unfamiliar orange color.

Please.

[09.02.09] Dongwan’s blog: Review of Seven Pounds

Director: Gabriel Muccino

Release date: 2008, U.S

Dongwan’s Rating: *****

—————————–

Woody Harrelson, Rosario Dawson, Will Smith, Barry Pepper…

This movie doesn’t have many classic lines.

The actors didn’t say many lines, but they kept on saying many things..

That can all be felt. Until the point that I even had goosebumps.

Whether it was the scene where he was facing his grandmother, or the scene where he was giving in to Emily’s kiss, Will Smith’s look was,

Just.. Too much. But without exaggerating, his expression is…

Really to a point where jealousy sets in… Hey. That’s what being an actor is..

Although it’s a bit of a joke to compare myself to Will Smith

But that is possible isn’t it? To people like me..?

Perhaps.. that reflects how Will Smith is.. his daily private life at home, that’s why he’s even more immersed into the movie..

Seeing Will Smith often makes me think of becoming an excellent father myself..ㅎㅎㅎ

And what surprises me is that I don’t find it draggy at all.. That must be the strength of the director then?

Some say that the emotions of the Italians are a little Oriental… Impatient too~ That’s why the movie is my kind of style? -0-

No matter what, this is a movie that doesn’t let your heart rest for even a moment for two hours.

ps. You have to make reservations to ensure that you get good seats.

It’s a movie where you don’t want to miss any moment of the actors’ performances.

If it’s not the kind of relationship where you’d die if you can’t see each other,

I think you’re better off not being in love…

The problem is as time passes, you’d start to believe that the world doesn’t have anything like that anymore..

[09.02.13] Dongwan’s blog: Tips on buying cameras.

- Check the prices on the Internet.

Get to know the market rates and note down the prices of the model that you want to buy.

- Don’t shop at places like *** Mart, **** Land.

At places like departmental stores, because they usually include commission incentives into the price, so prices won’t be cheap.

What’s even more annoying, prices are 5-10% higher if you pay with credit cards. *

- Always buy legitimate products. If you buy cheap parallel imports, you won’t be able to receive A/S (after-service - the Korean term for warranty service)

Cameras are gadgets that require A/S frequently. Absolutely buy only legitimate products.

- At the moment cameras are still cheapest in Namdaemun. The quality is very good too, but when you head there to buy without knowing the prices well, be careful not to get ripped off!

- Product registration is a must.

What’s strange is that many stores don’t stress the necessity of product registration.

Sincec there are many advantages that come along with product registration, you have to do it!

You must submit a scan of your receipt, and register within 15 days of your purchase!

A store at Namdaemun that’s worth recommending is “Nikon Nara”

www.nikonnara.com

p.s. The store I recommended only sells Nikon cameras.

p.s.2. Use Nikon for landscape photography, and Canon for taking portrait photography

When you use Nikon in the wrong way to take photos of people, the photos will turn out with rubbery skin.

With Canon the photos will still look pretty even if you take them badly~ ㅋㅋㅋ

I’m a Nikon fanatic~

[Guest 80slitenite]

[09.02.16] Dongwan’s blog: The 8th row

Although people say the 8th row is the best,

I personally prefer the 6th row.

Because I feel the full range of the viewing angle.

When I’m watching a movie

I like the feeling of being in the movie.

But occasionally there are people who make noise…

Although these days you can download movies to watch

But if you want to watch a good movie

You must

Watch it at the theatre…

Watching the actors in vivid colors on a wide screen..

The emotions you feel are different too.

Please, it will be good if there aren’t people who give reviews after watching movies on dvix and such.

[09.02.16] Dongwan’s review blog: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Director: David Fincher

Release date: 2008, U.S

Rating: *****

What I recall of Cate Blanchett from The Aviator is pretty good.

She comes across as graceful and subtle..

She and Madeleine Stowe are my favorite Hollywood actresses.

Although her look in Indiana Jones was a bit shocking.. TT

You can say it’s a movie that makes people think about time in a new way.

It’s not necessarily better to have time turning backwards.

As you grow older, but in the direction of turning into a child, no matter who takes care of you, it will become a burden.

[worldtraveler58]

Ack, it's been so long since I've visited this thread. As the new thread starter, I apologize profusely. Real life is a wee bit nutty right now, but if you are REALLY patient, I have lots of goodies awaiting you all. Thank you especially to Tiff for keeping this thread alive.

To make it up, here's a picture that WILL kill you all. It's from Blanket's MV, where he had that amazing (but too short) crying scene. (Credits to Name)

Man, this is the kind of picture that fangirls DREAM about kekekekeke

The captions say:

- It's Shinhwa's Kim Dong Wan - Click!

- It also seems very difficult for Kim Dong Wan (there isn't a perfect way of translating this - it basically means that he seems tired from working hard)

- Serious all throughout the shoot, Kim Dong Wan

The story of a father who lives like a cow and a cow that lives like a father..

The tears couldn’t stop falling while they were searching for firewood..

p.s. Isn’t the slogan ‘한우사랑’ Hanwoo Sarang (”I Love Korean Beef”) scary?

Me.

I have decent drinking habits.

I only drink once a week.

I don’t drink at all when I’m not in a good mood.

That’s not too bad…

Erm…

In fact for people who talk business

They can drink up to 4 bottles of soju each time,

Although that’s not exactly a good drinking habit… Haha~

We have already traced the leak of the proposed design back to the designer who posted it on his personal blog without prior permission, and it created confusion not only for H2 but for the fans as well.

We’ve issued a stern warning to the designing team, and besides removing the images off the blog, the jacket of Kim Dongwan’s Live DVD has been completely redesigned, we hope this will not create any misunderstanding for the fans. We will be updating everyone soon with more information about the upcoming DVD.

[09.03.08] Dongwan’s blog: Like A Flowing River… “The Story Of The Pencil”

A pencil has five qualities which, if you manage to hang on to them, will make you a person who is always at peace with the world.

First quality: you are capable of great things, but you must never forget that there is a hand guiding your steps. We call that hand God, and He always guides us according to His will.

Second quality: now and then, I have to stop writing and use a sharpener. That makes the pencil suffer a little, but afterwards, he’s much sharper. So you, too, must learn to bear certain pains and sorrows, because they will make you a better person.

Third quality: the pencil always allows us to use an eraser to rub out any mistakes. This means that correcting something we did is not necessarily a bad thing; it helps to keep us on the road to justice.

Fourth quality: what really matters in a pencil is not its wooden exterior, but the graphite inside. So always pay attention to what is happening inside you.

Finally, the pencil’s fifth quality: it always leaves a mark. In just the same way, you should know that everything you do in life will leave a mark, so try to be conscious of that in your every action.
