U-KISS’ Dongho has grown 8cm since his debut

U-KISS’s maknae Dongho is going through quite the growth spurt, as it’s been recently revealed that he grew 8 cm (3.14 inches) since his debut.

His profile currently lists his height as 178 cm (5′9″), which is an 8 cm increase since he was last recorded at 170 cm (5′6″) three years ago at the beginning of U-KISS’s debut.

Dongho explained, “At the time of my debut, I barely hit 170 cm. Because all of my hyungs were so tall, I actually had no choice but to add a bit more to my profile height and made it 173 cm.  After each new album release, however, I began to grow bit by bit.  I really grew to 173 cm between our promotions for ‘I’m Not Young‘ and ‘I Like You.’  Our company raised my profile height by 2 cm again, but by the time we were done promoting ‘Bingeul Bingeul‘, I was 175 cm.  While preparing for ‘0330′, I checked my height and now I’m really 178 cm.”

He continued, “I’m working on both an acting and singing career now so it is a bit physically difficult, but I’m doing my best and learning a lot.  I’ll make sure to show everyone my improvement and growth.”

U-KISS left for the U.S. on April 27th to attend the Korea Music Festival in Los Angeles, California.

110422 写作业

                 今天终于开始动笔写作业去了。不想写但又被逼写,真是太纠结了。好无奈。无聊的假期就要这样过去了。什么嘛?这算是假期吗?每天待在家,好无趣。

                 今天做数学,其实不难只不过呢要动脑。我的脑子早在八百年前就已经生锈了,用不了,花上许多的时间才把它给做完。老师啊,我还真的对不起你们呢,把你们传授给我的知识全给忘了。

                  复活节对我来说没什么重要,但可恶的是coles没开。走到pacific square的大门了,才看见门贴着纸写今天整个centre不营业,有股冲动想扁人。难道就不会贴一张比较大张的,害大家都白走一趟。可恶……

                   做了lemon cupcake, 不甜反倒挺酸的,不愧是柠檬,不好吃但也不难吃,对我来说算是失败了。我的手果然不适合拿锅铲,我究竟还要不要当女人啊???真纠结,反死了。

Yours very truly, Park Jung Min

친애하는 당신네들에게.

이렇게 편지를 쓰는 것이 손발이 조금 오그라들기는 하지만
그래도 마음을 전하는 것중 가장 좋은 방법은 편지라 생각하여
항상 받는 편지를 오늘만큼은 제가 적으려고 합니다.
지금 시각 4월 3일 새벽 2시 46분.
잠이 오지 않는군요.
일단 데뷔 이래 처음 하는 생일에 와주신 여러분들.
진심으로 감사… 감사… 감사할머니다.
많은 노력과 걱정속에 낫얼론 솔로 앨범을 내고
그리고 앨범을 발표 하는데 가장 힘이 되어주는 우리 트리플S.
나보다 나를 더 사랑해주는 당신들이 있기에 더 힘낼수 있었고.
(…???)
감사 감사 감사할머니다.
여러분들도 저를 보며 하루하루를 웃으면서 살아갈 수 있게
여러분의 웃음꽃이 되도록 노력할게요.
앞으로 더 열심히 하는 그런 정민이가 될게요.
많이 응원해 주고 기다려줘요.
이제 정말 오그라 드는 말을 할려고 하는데 과연 할 수있을까?
하..난 이런말 익숙치 않은데 할수 있을까?
하면 반응이 나올까?
내 마음이 잘 전달이 될까?
모두의 웃음속에 나의 마음이 잘 전해지지 않는게 아닐까?
하… 모르겠다.
지금 이 목소리를 듣고 있는 당신네들.
사랑합니다.
우하하하하하 우우하하하하하하

High Cut Magazine, Super Junior," We Are One"

We are one.


Generally, in a group, the member who makes an appearance in a CF or drama receives the profit earned from the appearance. But Super Junior and 2PM are the exceptions. [Omitted] Super Junior agreed with each other that regardless of who earns more, it is only right for the members to receive the same salary, because they are a team. Thus, in Super Junior, the member who earns the most from individual activity pays for the members’ late night food. At the beginning of the debut, Leeteuk, Kim Heechul, and Kangin, became popular on variety programs which resulted in them earning more money than the other members. They tried to share their salaries with the other members. But, Yesung strongly resisted saying, “you hyungs suffered a lot to earn that money. How are we supposed to receive it?” But Kangin persuaded the other members by saying, “We are a team. If I did this to only better myself, why would I be in a team?” The members quarreled about the issue and then finally decided that the person who earns the most will pay for their late night food. When each member says what he wants to eat, the member who earns the most would pay for all of the food. Whether it is pizza or Pig’s trotters, the members can eat various foods. However, because it would cost too much to go out to eat, they only eat food that can be delivered. But recently, they’ve been using courier service for delivery.

" My Liking For Hang Ga-In Has Never Changed" Surprised Confession of Lee Teuk


SuJu’s leader Leeteuk has once again confessed that his love for Han Ga-in is still unchanged.
On the recent filming of MBC Every1’s “Super Junior’s Foresight”, singer Kim Taewoo and KCM appeared as guests and taught them how to sing in a soul-capturing way.
The 3 MCs (Leeteuk, Shindong, Donghae) brought up some clues for Kim Taewoo and KCM, who are already very close, to find out about each other’s ideal type. In the end, KCM found out that Kim Taewoo’s ideal type is Kim Hyesu, and conversely, Kim Taewoo discovered that KCM’s ideal type is Han Jimin.

Later on, Donghae, who became a one-day MC in Yesung’s stead, picked out Leeteuk’s ideal type, and when the photo of Leeteuk’s ideal type from previously surfaced, it caused the studio to be in a commotion.

Leeteuk placed her photo in front of his chest, declaring that his heart has not changed, (but) when he realised that there was a small hole on Han Ga-in’s forehead in the photo, he frowned in response, thinking that it was an injury, turning the recording studio into a sea of laughter.
The details about Donghae finding out Leeteuk’s ideal type will be revealed on the 30th of March, Wednesday at 11PM, on MBC Every1’s “Super Junior’s Foresight”.

U-KISS’s Dongho wants to build a baseball park for Korea’s baseball fans



U-KISS’s Dongho recently stated that he wants to build a baseball park for Korea’s baseball fans.
The topic came about after Dongho made a comment about the effects of his unique role in MBC’s “Royal Family“. The idol said, “I’ve heard a lot of my friends and family say that I should treat them to great things since I’m the grandson of a chaebeol (Korean millionaire) [in the drama].”
He then revealed, “If I were really the grandson of a chaebeol, I would first build a baseball park for Korea’s baseball fans.”
Why a baseball park, you ask?
Dongho explained, “It’s because I thought of the hard time I had while playing baseball on KBS2TV’s ‘Invincible Baseball“. ..I always thought it would be good for baseball fans to play baseball comfortably whenever they wanted to in a good facility.”
The busy idol also lamented about not having time to go watch a baseball game and said, “I want to visit a baseball stadium and cheer for my favorite team.”

06/04/2011

                 The third day in uni~ Well, now I get know of all my classmates no matter from China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai and Iraq. They are friendly, really!!! Especially the Dubai guy, Prasan. He likes to tell jokes, make fun of our English lecture and brings happiness to our class.

                 Whole class not really familiar with the campus yet, so we usually late to enter the next class especially lecture one. We manage to find the building but not the class. However, our lectures are even late compared to us. So, we are not worry about that *smile*

                 Nothing really interesting happened in our class. We just feel tired and hungry everyday. We do not have much time to sit down to eat today. So, I just have my first meal now. Pity school life but I'll try to enjoy it. Different from the school life in Malaysia. I use English, Cantonese and Mandarin most. English for lectures, friends and classmates. Cantonese to those come from Hong Kong and Mandarin to those come from China and my housemates. I hope I can learn different language from them, just a little bit is enough. Tonnes of homeworks especially maths. If I can talk to maths now, I will tell him," You're really annoying~!!! Sincerely I wanna tell you that I HATE YOU!!!" Whenever we enter tell maths tutorial and lecture, we tell ourselves there is homework, no jokes.

                I do my homeworks until 12am but still cannot finish the homeworks. From now onwards, I need to improve my English vocabulary as our lecture like to use a wide range of words in class. Okay, I have to stop now as I wish to sleep earlier tonight. *Hwaiting*

NH Media talked about a hilarious, if not slightly disturbing incident from U-KISS’s first comeback performance this week. It turns out that moments before the boys were to go on stage, Dongho’s clothes were discovered to be missing!

On April 2nd, representatives commented, “Right before the recording for Mnet’s ‘M! Countdown‘ on March 31st, Dongho’s pants were stolen, which caused a chaotic scene.
