and here's Priscilla's comment on her translation below

...the reporter talks soooo fast and the images are not that clear I had to second guess A LOT... so much, that I decided to skip many parts and just write WHATEVER!

I'm sort of a perfectionist, and I don't really like to do things like this... but for this News Clip... let me just leave it at that. I'm just glad I translated SJS's part almost to the fullest. The rest, you may have to fill in the blank with your imagination! (The first 4 or 5 before SJS's pretty consistent though).

Summarised by Priscilla, Hotelier2002 with her comment:

Let me give a brief summary of what I read at SJS’s Café, News Article Section #2712, on April 12th, 2005 (a VERY LONG article!). The results for me were not AS OBVIOUS... for example, didn't expect SJS to be there since he's out in sabbatical, and where are Lee Byung Hun, Park Shin Yang and Lee Jeong Jae?

[sunday Paper] [survey among 50 TV producers and Film makers] Star’s Casting Report (#1)

There are many ways to measure an actor’s popularity, etc, etc. The entertainment industry was trying to pick their top stars, those they would like to cast most. They interviewed 27 TV producers, 6 movie directors, 12 movie enterpreneurs, and 5 more working in the drama industry, a total of 50 people. This report will be divided into two, the second part coming up next.

Accordingly, the results were quite predictable:

#1. BAE YONG JOON & Kim Tae Hee... BYJ won #1 by far (20%)

Male:

1. BYJ (20%)

2. Choi Min Shik, Sul Gyung Goo, Jang Dong Gun (12%)

5. Jung Woo Sung (10%)

6. Wonbin (8%)

7. Eric, So Ji Sub, Jo In Sung (6%)

Female:

1. Kim Tae Hee (14%)

2. Shim Eun Ha (12%)

3. Jun Ji Hyun, Moon Gun Yung (10%)

5. Song Hae Gyo, Lee Young Ae, Jun Do Yeon (8%)

8. Go Hyun Jung, Son Ae Jin, Ha Ji Won, Lee Hyo Ri (6%)

But they also admitted that success cannot be guaranteed by just casting the stars. They also asked who the best actors are, and they got totally different answers, but it seemed that only 7 stars got more than 2 votes here, which points at the lack of really good actors in the industry.

They also surveyed the most popular supporting actors, etc…

They also mentioned how they would ask the #1 in their individual list, and they would go down that list depending on if they got a 'yes' or 'no.'

This is my first time greeting in jisubforever. I'm sorry. I will try to say hello here more often from now.

Manager: You're in new life. How is it?

You guys don't worry about me at all. I'm accustoming myself well.

Manager : You have a lot of free time. What do you do in your free time?

Jisub: Free time... currently I'm taking a little bit of rest. I am planning to learn Japanese language.

Actually I am studying Japanese.

Manager : Did you learn much?

Jisub : Well yet... I have strong will only. (laugh)

Manager : I read you like older women than you. Is it true?

Jisub : Uh... that's... I still like older women.

Manager : Say a final greeting.

Jisub : I know well, you are with me always, with unchanged shape.

When I'm running just looking forward, you were looking after me silently.

When I need you mostly, you were beside me always.

I believe you're not gonna changed just like now.

I love 'jisubforever'. Thank you.

From Japanese magazine

At the filming location

This was the first time working with Japanese staffs. Before starting, we worried a lot.

Can we make enough communication? Can we finish it in schedule?

But as we start working, Jisub was fully relaxed, enjoying his shooting job.

Mr. Takuma (Japanese photographer) built good atmosphere, my worrying could be gone.

I appreciate all staffs, we could make really good photo album.

Actor So Ji Sub

I'v been working as manager for 11 years. The first time I met Jisub, I was scared.

How should I do if he is fastidious? Would he be cooperative to a woman? I worried a lot.

But, after 10 monthes working together, what I felt is, he is the most informal celebrity I've ever met, so I could trust fully.

He is so sincere that he never spare his effort. He is never be lazy, he takes care of his co-workers always. So we staffs are moved by him always.

We staffs are all women. He naturally carrys heavy loads. While walking rough roads, he adjusts his pace to women's. Whatever he does, whatever he eats, he takes care of others first. He is such warm-hearted.

One more, he really hates to do harm to a person. His theory is, what you get with doing harm to others is valueless.

But this warm-hearted guy concentrates on his work fearfully. His this shape is no-doubt professional, a great pride of us.

To fans

Japanese staffs and fans welcomed Jisub warmly. We are working hard to keep you being able to be proud of Jisub.

Now, we release the photo album. I hope you can feel the natural Jisub as he is.

Jisub did this job to show the other shape of himself and natural side of him.

Please keep cheering Jisub. Thank you.

So Ji Sub's manager, Kim Soo Jin.
