[tiki_sg]

QUESTION - Did someone ever find out why LSG isn't on other networks' music programs? or variety programs for that matter? Even MBC - since he's doing a drama for them? MCM is on Star King. EJW is on Come To Play. What's going on??? The SBS morning show was the first one I saw LSG in... Thanks for that clip btw o51029 - you are the bestest! How can I download a HQ version of that show? non-clubbox of course. Any suggestions tiki_sg???

hehehe, (at the risk of being hunted down by o51029) . . . be REAL nice to o51029, hopefully, she can split the file up and upload to MU etc. That's about the only way out, as far as I can see. Though I know some people use a file-sharing site called bigfile something, which can take on size of one HQ version i.e., >500mb. I only know how to download from CB and reupload but am terribly bad when it comes to splitting files.

Lee Seung Gi - Reminiscence of You on Music Bank (2008-05-23) [cashewmania].avi [37.8MB]

[ivey79]

Music Bank 2008-05-23 - "You inside my memories"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hSjyixIQJQ
Before I watched it, I was a little disappointed that he wasn't performing "Let's go on vacation". But after watching it I'm not disappointed at all Good performance Seunggi!

You are right, this was a great performance. I liked it for several reasons. For one thing, really really happy with the outfit. This is my favorite look for him, tailored pants, dress shirt with vests. Love the black on black with a touch of funk on the vests. I know Seung Gi is tall being 6' feet and all, but I think he has incredibly long legs even compared to others his height. There are some shots of him on stage where I feel like they just go on forever! Lucky boy. Guess thats why he looks so good in suits. Normally I'm not a big fan of this song. I find it too repetitive and to a point a little annoying after 2 minute or so, but I feel this performance was somehow different from all the others he's done of this song. He's more fun, relaxed, working the stage, and he was obviously LOVING the attention. Funny, but I think Seung Gi's become a cam rainbow! LOL. Bedifferent, I agree with you when you say he's living the life right. Cute, young, and popular. Not a bad place to be. He really deserves it though. He's worked so hard for the last 4 years to get to this point. I've discussed this with my sister before, but Seung Gi is a rare boy. It's hard growing up in the entertainment world, but he's managed to do it so well both on the physically, mentally, and muscially. He was lucky to find such a good company to work with him. I appreciate the fact they've never tried to over package him or push him too hard in one direction or the other for commercial value. They've allowed him to grow at his own pace and have given him oppurtunities to explore his own natural talents. There's not a lot of companies that would allow their artists to grow in this way, to dictate their career path so natually and allow them to explore their talents fully. Seung Gi really is an incredibly well adjusted boy.

우리 아이렌 분들 오래간만이에요~~^^


반갑습니다. 또 오래간만에 이렇게 인사드리네요^^

요새 5월 데뷔이래 가장 많이 팬들과 마주 하는 달이 아닌가 싶습니다.^^

많은 곳에서도 찾아주고 응원해주시고 좋아해주시는 분들이 많은것 같아

너무 감사하고 행복합니다.^^

가수로서 무대에 올랐을 때 저를 위해 환호해 주는 사람들을 보며

매번 설레고 너무 기분좋고 감사합니다.^^

사실.. 몇주전부터 글을 쓸까 말까 하다가 오늘에야 씁니다.

축제나 방송무대가 아닌 행사무대에서 만날 기회가 많은 많큼

사실 지방공연이던 서울 공연이던 방송외의 공연은 여러가지

사정들로 인해 통제가 어렵다는 것을 잘 알고 있습니다.

몇주전 대학교 축제중 큰 공연들을 다녀오면서 공연이 끝나고

차 주위로 와서 급(?) 흥분하시는 우리의 팬분들~~^^

물론 급(?)흥분해주시는 팬분들을 보면

저에겐 너무 고맙고 감사하지만 본인을 위해서 몸을 아껴주는 센스(?)를

발휘해 주시면 감사하겠다는 말씀을 드리고 싶었습니다.^^ㅋ



물론 저를 보고 막~~ 미친듯이 열광해주시면 저 또한 으쓱해지고

"아 내인기가 이정도구나~~~~ ㅋㅋㅋ"하는 생각이 드는 것도 사실입니다.

하지만...!! 안전사고는 위험하니까요!!



오늘 공연도 안전상의 이유로 한 곡을 못하고 왔는데.

그런 이유로 못한다면 저도 서운하고 여러분들도 너무 아쉽죠~~?!^^*

오늘 뭐 화나서 나간거 아니냐는 말도 있는 것 같은데 그런건 절대 아니구요

경호하시는 분들이 정리를 하시면 다시 올라갈 생각이었는데

주죄측에서 안전상의 이유로 여기까지해야 한다고 해서

아쉽게 돌아왔습니다^^;

우리 아이렌 여러분~~~

항상 너무 고맙고 감사하구 이렇게 좋은 분위기 일때

더 잘하고 더 나아가고 싶습니다..^^

그러기 위해 아이렌분들이 많이 도와주시고 응원해주시고

무엇보다 다치지않아야 응원해줄수 있으니까~~

우리 아이렌 다치지 않게 항상 조심해요!!

누구든 다치면 저 심하게 마음 무거워집니다^^;;ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

알겠죠?? 모두 약속~~~^^!! ㅋㅋㅋ

다음 공연장에서 봐요~~^^*

051029, thanks for the news update. Our boy must be really hot these days!! Here is the translation.


우리 아이렌 분들 오래간만이에요~~^^
Our Airens. It's been a long time.


반갑습니다. 또 오래간만에 이렇게 인사드리네요^^
Happy to see you. It's been some time since I've sent my greetings this way.

요새 5월 데뷔이래 가장 많이 팬들과 마주 하는 달이 아닌가 싶습니다. ^^
Looks like since my debut/comeback? this May, this is the month when we have lots of chances to meet.

많은 곳에서도 찾아주고 응원해주시고 좋아해주시는 분들이 많은것 같아
너무 감사하고 행복합니다.^^
To the many fans who found the performance venues and gave me support, I am very thankful and happy.

가수로서 무대에 올랐을 때 저를 위해 환호해 주는 사람들을 보며
매번 설레고 너무 기분좋고 감사합니다.^^
As a singer, every time I appear on stage and see my cheering fans, I am very thankful and happy and yet couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy.

사실.. 몇주전부터 글을 쓸까 말까 하다가 오늘에야 씁니다.
Actually, for a few weeks, I have been thinking of whether to write this note or not.

축제나 방송무대가 아닌 행사무대에서 만날 기회가 많은 많큼
사실 지방공연이던 서울 공연이던 방송외의 공연은 여러가지
사정들로 인해 통제가 어렵다는 것을 잘 알고 있습니다.
For different stage performances, it is difficult to carry out audience control.

몇주전 대학교 축제중 큰 공연들을 다녀오면서 공연이 끝나고
차 주위로 와서 급(?) 흥분하시는 우리의 팬분들~~^^
A few weeks ago, after finishing a performance at a university festival, I found a number of excited fans gathered around our car


물론 급(?)흥분해주시는 팬분들을 보면
저에겐 너무 고맙고 감사하지만 본인을 위해서 몸을 아껴주는 센스(?)를
발휘해주시면 감사하겠다는 말씀을 드리고 싶었습니다.^^ㅋ
Of course when I see them I felt really thankful, but I wish to say, be careful with your own physical safety.


물론 저를 보고 막~~ 미친듯이 열광해주시면 저 또한 으쓱해지고 "아 내인기가 이정도구나~~~~ ㅋㅋㅋ"하는 생각이 드는 것도 사실입니다.
하지만...!! 안전사고는 위험하니까요!!
Of course I feel honored and to be honest, a little proud too, thinking 'So I'm this popular..kekeke' But �!! Accidents could happen and it could be dangerous.

오늘 공연도 안전상의 이유로 한 곡을 못하고 왔는데.
그런 이유로 못한다면 저도 서운하고 여러분들도 너무 아쉽죠~~?!^^*
For today's performance, even though I came, I could not perform for safety reason. I really feel sorry for not being to perform for such a reason. It's really a pity, isn't it?

오늘 뭐 화나서 나간거 아니냐는 말도 있는 것 같은데 그런건 절대 아니구요
There have been talks about my not coming out because I was angry, but I want to emphasize that's definitely not the reason.

경호하시는 분들이 정리를 하시면 다시 올라갈 생각이었는데
주죄측에서 안전상의 이유로 여기까지해야 한다고 해서
아쉽게 돌아왔습니다^^;
The security personnel were originally thinking that after they had regained control I could then appear again, but finally, I was told that for safety reason, that was it for the day. Such a pity.

우리 아이렌 여러분~~~
Our Airens

항상 너무 고맙고 감사하구 이렇게 좋은 분위기 일때
더 잘하고 더 나아가고 싶습니다..^^
I'm always thankful for your support on such occasions and wish to give my best efforts

그러기 위해 아이렌분들이 많이 도와주시고 응원해주시고
무엇보다 다치지않아야 응원해줄수 있으니까~~
For this reason, to Airens who gave me so much support, it's more important that you don't get hurt in the process

우리 아이렌 다치지 않게 항상 조심해요!!
Please be careful. � Don't get hurt

누구든 다치면 저 심하게 마음 무거워집니다^^;;ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
If anyone gets hurt, I'll get really depressed

알겠죠?? 모두 약속~~~^^!! ㅋㅋㅋ
You know that, right? Promise?

다음 공연장에서 봐요~~^^*
See you at the next performance.

Thanks eloise for the translation Seems like our boy is really popular these days, happy! But his post reminded me me of how reality is sometimes really quite different from the rosiness we see onstage. Popularity often brings along a lot of inconviences with it, and to overcome this, the effort that the backstage crew is really crucial, from planning to executing an event, so that we can see our dear boy onstage. Kudos to them!~

Found his self musing about his popularity really amusing. Such cute honesty!

[LionKing_Min3]

Lee Seung Gi ..He's sOO Cute !

[Vanny]

[sarangaia]

Wow the pictures are sooo pretty!! All smiles and sunshine Thanks Vanny!

[ivey79]

Vanny, so happy to hear from you again. Those are wonderfull pictures of him. It seems he's never looked happier. Fun, fresh and free is right! I can practically see rays of light beaming out of that smile. For the first time ever I feel like making an avator. Hope all is well in your world, wishing you the best! Come back when you miss Seung Gi.

[eequeezee]

Hi everyonw ~~~
Just saw 1N2D - not much LSG stuff to write about, but still want to summarize/translate as much of the MCM part as I can, as this was just the sweetest 15 minutes. Hope you guys don't mind. I couldn't help but cry my eyes out. I hope these guys stay together forever! Okay gotta rush this as I gotta be outta here before 8...

B-unnie! Koo Hye Sun is cute. I like how she's very natural looking and never heavily made-up. I wouldn't mind losing out to her... Nah I would ANYHOO...

The producer tells the guys that he just received some surprising news --- MCM's song Circus has made it to top 3 on Music Bank and is going to contend for the #1 spot. Impressive considering this happened in just one week (his comeback was on the evening of the field trip with the kids). They can't go to Seoul/KBS because of the shoot, so they're going to go back to Chungju University and set up a video feed into KBS from a computer lab. As the staff try to get connection:
KHD - On the chance that [Circus] does become #1, what are we going to do?
MCM - It's not don't apply expectations hyungnim.
KHD - ...we still have to prepare though.
LSGeun - you're right it's better to prepare.
MCM - Please don't say that this (the idea that his song will be #1) doesn't make sense right now.
LSGeun - It does too make sense.
KHD - We're talking about what we're going to do if it does.
LSG - yeah, then what are you going to do? not prepare and then it happens you're just to be like this? That's going to be weird.
MCM - Hyungnim, you've gone through all this trouble already (the video feed), if it doesn't happen (and we prepared something), then how's that going to make me look/feel. (I loved this bit - not a bad problem to have, but a problem nonetheless...)

Connection is established!!!
KBS - I can hear LSGeun's voice clearly.
LSGeun - oh yes sir, thank you.
EJW - Guess who this is!!!
KBS - oh it's ChoDing

After KHD surprises everyone by knowing what IT stands for, the anticipation gets to MCM a bit:
MCM - I want to run away, run away, I really want to run away. Gosh I can't believe this right now...it doesn't make sense that we're here in some broadcast room in Chungju University
KHD asks how the video feed is possible and pokes fun at how archaic the place looks, and MCM says, "that's what I'm saying!"

Jewerly comes on - how funny was MCM dancing along with them HA!
LSGeun - yaaa I'm starting to feel nervous (and tries to comfort MCM)
MCM - Hey I'm OK! Why are you saying that all of a sudden? I'm ok. No matter what I'm ok!
LSGeun - I wasn't meaning anything by it why are you getting mad (HA)
KHD - The way I see it, if he doesn't [get 1st], I'm willing to bet a thousand dollars he'll cry (HA!)

All of a sudden, the PD says, "How funny would this be if this was all a hidden camera joke?" which gets everyone to wonder if in fact this whole thing was a setup.
MCM - if this is really hidden camera I'm gonna die!
KimC and LSG really start to question if this whole thing is fake (HA!) and MCM's face before they go to the KBS station is priceless!

When MCM's performance (obviously taped - I always thought Music Bank was live!) comes on and MCM starts rapping:
EJW - Be quiet!
KimC - I'm trying to listen!
When MCM starts clapping and says "Mongiya!" he says, "This is how my mom cheers..." (HAHA!) He then asks the guys to chant "hahahahahaha" together and they do (too cute!)

Then KHD asks EJW:
KHD - How many number ones have you had on Music Bank?
EJW - I never had one.
KHD - Really? You had a popular hit though...
EJW - I...I couldn't make it happen hyung...
KHD - That song felt like it was formidable, did it go to number 2?
EJW - It didn't even get to contend for number one...
KHD - You're saying it didn't even get to contend for number one? Even though we sang Why Baby Why THAT many times on 1N2D?
EJW - We only sang it once.
KimC - Guess at that time 1N2D wasn't as popular.
KHD - Whether 1N2D was popular or not you guys were the only ones out at that time (meaning there wasn't a lot of competition in the music scene).
MCM THEN SAYS "1N2D's ratings went up after I came on." The guys all move away from him and MCM says "I was just joking to make us laugh hyungnim!"
KimC - [we're moving away] cuz that WASN'T funny.
MCM says that it's fact that the ratings went up starting with the trip to Gageodo (when MCM came on) and then LSG says that the show started winning when the guys went to Pyeongchang (when LSG came on). Then MCM mentions something about how he bravely drank kkanari, then LSG mentions something about how he dove into freezing water in Busan... (I didn't like LSG debating about this with MCM...)
KimC - Mongy-ah, I think you're going to shoot the entire show here on your own...
LSG - when you're up, I'm going to the bathroom hyung
EJW - No but really, with Mong coming on, he saved the show (sarcastically giving him the thumbs up, implying "hey you're GREAT!")
MCM - I'm sorry [for getting big-headed]
EJW acts as if he wasn't purposely bringing MCM back to earth (this was funny!)
KHD tells them to make up and as EJW goes over to hug MCM, MCM thinks EJW is going to hit him and yells out "please don't hit me!" (HAHA!)

Okay gotta go bye everyone have a great week peace and love!!!!!!

[lyana22]

1st time posting here.
i like his voice. Really sweet and
I like watch him in 1N2D.
eequeezee- thanx for the summarize
vanny- thanx for sharing the pictures. He really
looks cute when smiles. He must be really happy..

[judeism]

May I just say that the first page is so beautiful! <3
And those new pics of LSG is so HOT!
I still feel bad bout the news of him leaving 1N2D..
I hope he changes his mind!

[ivey79]

Just a quick note tonite before heading off. Thank you Eloise for the translation. It's interesting that Seung Gi knows he's popular these days. But I'm not worried about it going to his head. He seems to understand pretty well where he's at. I'm real glad he's enjoying the spotlight. And yeah, fans can get crazy without realizing what harm their doing to themselves as well as their idols. Being super popular is great, but also a burden. Comes with the job I guess.

Eequeezee, as always thanks for great synopsis. Seung Gi isn't so timid and laid back anymore is he? Like Bedifferent said earlier, he's throwing stuff back at them these days. I don't understand Korean at all, but just from body language and facial expressions I can tell Seung Gi is showing the smart alecky side of him these days. Hee hee, I kinda like that he can be a punk too

Judeism, is there official news he's leaving the show?

[bedifferent]

Welcome all new posters. Post away, ok?

o51029: w00t, much improved performance of "Memories". Less rehearsed, less restraint and so much livelier. Convince the audience to love the song as much as you, Seung Gi!

eloise: Thanks so much for the translation. Oh gosh, the fanaticism. It's pretty self-evident from watching all the fan videos. Hope that this does not hinder LSG's attempt at having a normal college life. Or limit the way he promotes and schedules his performances. Hmm, just when he's finally reaching out to the audience ...

eequeezee: sorrryyy, away from home this holiday weekend. I'd love to chime in on the discussion but still have not caught up on 1N2D. Thanks for the summary. I'm glad you like Goo Hye Sun too. She's adorable.

Vanny: Yay, we miss you. Come back soon, OK? The pictures are faabbbbullouss, girl! You're one of a few who can access his cafe. Thanks a bunch for that post. Here's a very short link of that performance (on 5/25/08). I'll post a longer one once it is available.

eloise thanks for translating the letter.

... 'So I'm this popular..kekeke' ....

Thought this was cute. Gosh, it must have been serious. It actually seems sudden, for me anyways, because I don't live in Korea to experience all those little concerts that he's in (and aren't on his official schedule either). What I know is only from some fanvideos and the entertainment news that are uploaded by fans. I still remember the fanmeeting at end of April (Seoul Milk) and the show that interviewed LSG's manager. The fans seemed tame back then, screaming yes, but not rushing or overcrowding him.

Vanny! Glad to see you. Please visit more often when you have time. Those pictures are so bright and shiny

Sunlight, yup his fans are called Airen. The website is cafe.daum.net/leeseungki. I think you need to be Korean to join (I think it requires a Korean ID#? Correct me if I'm wrong)

Eequeezee, thanks for the translation, hehe, it was very funny

Bedifferent, hehe you've become the daum queen! I have such little patience with the daum videos, I just use my recorder to save it and check something else. Thanks for the videos

I know a little Korean.I study Faculty of korea in university,the first year.But i don't have korean ID .I think all Korea website asked ID when we sign up
Can I upload the pictures has credit from cyworld?I'm not sure,so i asked before upload this.I had been warned one time

Thanks dindunz for tips.
Where's Seung Ki ? This picture is fun.I saw MC Mong,Lee Soo Geun and Ho Dong ajossi
