QUOTE ([T.O.P]Sunlight @ May 31 2008, 10:40 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

sarangaia:woa!thanks for link the web to learning korean.You lives in Sing huh,everything is expensive T.T .I want to take a trip to Korea,too.But a tour is very very expensive and I just a student,so I'm saving too.Hope to see Seung Gi ^^.How old are you?I think we can make friend ^^.
o51029:It's a talkshow for persons who were over 18 year-olds and married couple.It's a show of KBS.I don't think it's fun cause I'm just a 18 year-olds girl (not woman) ^^.
Tomorrow is international children day.I don't know how old Seung Gi's fans are.But I'm sure we're a group with young ladies smile.gif.So congratulation children day !


My age? i'm an 88 baby, one year behind our dear 87 boy. haha you are right, we are a bunch of young fangirls. of course we can be friends! especially since we are all in Asia, maybe one day (oh, this is my dream..!!) we can plan to meet up and go look for Seung Gi. Haha that will be totally fun, can imagine us fangirls screaming away like there's no tomorrow. But we'll have to save save save up for it, since we are all poor students tongue.gif

Ahh, all that drama with the competition of the tv stations. Nothing makes sense when it comes to power politics, does it? But i must admit that i'm a little peeved that all these is affecting a lot of the artistes out there (not just limited to LSG). In the end its us viewers who are affected since we dont get to see who we want to as often as we like. Hope the tension between the stations will ease soon, I really dislike the fact that power politics are so blatantly in the face when all we want is some good old entertainment.

Seems like a lot of you here miss LSG's old performances with all that power. For me, strangely enough, I kind of like his current renditions better precisely because they are more controlled. Though i do wish sometimes that he would inject more power into his current renditions. Its like a back and forth thing, sometimes i like the way things are now with his voice and sometimes i wish for his past renditions. Dont know how many of you feel like this too. But i'm with ivey79 on one point, no matter what, i still think his voice beats the others by miles and miles, and thus i remain an enthusiastic fangirl!! Oh and keep critiqueing, ivey79!! Its really interesting to read, and it also shows we are all sincerely interested in LSG, enough to keep analysing his singing:)

Good day to all!!!! Have a nice and fresh start to the new week!~

Hi everyone ~~~

A couple things first:
I watched the last two subbed episodes of 1N2D - the ones with the schoolkids? Really disappointed with the subbing and editing...SIGH... sarangaia - let's perfect our Korean so that we can replace these subbers... mad.gif

o51029 - Can't tell from your Mnet LSG vid what the #5 of it all was. I don't know what the whole MCM and LSG thing was about, but I came away a little annoyed with MCM. He tells the crowd to be good to our LSG, and then as he leaves, he tells the crowd that he only has one hit song, and then ignores LSG as they walk by each other. I feel like there's a second part that's missing to this...

ivey79 - sorry to hear about your tiring week. ivey-unnie FIGHTING!

Okay now:
Just watched 1N2D - the bunjee jump episode. I had read in the 1N2D forum about the 90 minutes and the controversy over religion and stuff so my interest was at an all time high! I have to say that I was disappointed that for whatever reasons, the episode was 90 minutes long. They DRAGGED OUT the bunjee jump part, especially with the LSG part. Frankly, being overprotective of LSG, I'm upset with the producers for showing LSG wasting TWO HOURS up there. You could tell they were doing it to fill time, and it irked me a little bit. I'm not at all disappointed with LSG not jumping --- I just wish he went over to EJW quicker. When they were at dinner, the producer asked them to talk more as they ate (so they can get more footage), which prompted LSGeun to say "are we even capable of talking right now when we haven't eaten in 14 hours?" Anyway, if they make 90 minute episodes from now on, I hope they don't feel stretched out like this...

Okay here are some highlights:
INTRO:
KHD announces they're at GyeongGiDo and starts yelling GiDoYaaaAH!
LSG - This (the shouting) has really become popular. The reason I know this is because I was driving to go work out...the gym parking lot was full so I asked the parking attendant - who was easily in his seventies - if I could park at a certain spot. The grampa wearily looks at me, then all of a sudden smiles like this and goes "SeungGiYaaaAH!!!" Really! Really!
MCM - (pretending to be the grampa) Oh I'm tired...SeungGiYaaaAH!

Guys have to play YOOT - wherever they land, they have to carry out that task before throwing the sticks again and advancing. Someone did a very nice job of explaining this and how it applies to the show in the 1N2D thread.
Finish a game of Yoot in 1N2D and get the camping truck!
Funny moment inside the camping car - MCM says "As soon as we get in SuGeun hyung is sitting in the driver's seat!" (haha)

GUYS GETTING SHOTS:
EJW - Is there any way we can take the vaccine in pill form?
LSGeun - Haha that's definitely a question that a schoolkid (choding) would ask.
MCM crying after getting the shot, and then wiping LSGeun with the alcohol swab (HA!)
As LSG gets his shot, EJW screams out "EW! Why is the needle going in so deep!"
LSGeun - Jiwon-ah, hurry up, I'll buy you ice cream. (Ha)
After all that babying, EJW gets up after the shot and gleefully goes, "All done!" (He lived up to his choding character very nicely)

ON THE WAY TO THE TEMPLE:
The guys talk about how they're going to decide who'll do the 108 bows.
EJW - Among us, who's Buddhist?
KHD - I'm Buddhist.
LSGeun - Me too.
EJW - Then one of you do it.
KHD - Jiwon you're Buddhist too it says in your bio.
EHW - I'm not! (He's just saying that because the subtitle says, "If I do 108 bows my back's going to snap...) (haha)
KHD - actually a lot of people do the 108 bows as exercise.
EJW - I'm healthy and young still...
KHD - Let's vote on who does it...I elect EJW.
EJW - WHY?
KHD - He might reflect on something...
EJW - You think that I'll do that?
KHD - ......that's why I choose EJW
EJW - Well then I elect you right back.
KimC - I elect EJW
LSG - I too, elect EJW hyung.
Not sure what KimC says but I think he tells EJW to not get mad at LSG...
EJW - ...Think about it what is it to bow? As you bow, you settle your soul, get your mind right, and stuff like that but I don't have any thoughts of that sort (if I were to bow)!
He goes on and says something and then KHD says that going into the 108 bows without thinking anything and then reflecting on and realizing things while doing it is (partly) what it's all about.
MCM - For me...how many votes does EJW have?
EVERYONE - three.
MCM - I want Jiwon hyung too. (HAHA)
KHD shows the pic of LSGeun without clothes, the toothbrush, and broken sunglasses and starts laughing and says, "Why does LSGeun have these things in his car?" (So random it was funny!)

AT THE TEMPLE:
KHD with the twins - OH...MY...GOSH...so KyoooooooooooooT!!!!!!!
As EJW keeps bowing, LSGeun says that the pride he feels for EJW today is of the utmost. (You can see the sincerity on LSGeun's face when he says this - so sweet).
LSGeun - When mothers come here to pray for their children and what not, forget 108, some bow 3000 times (LSG and KimC actually says 3000).
MEANWHILE...KHD is messing around with the cute babies (HAHA!)
(When EJW completed the 108 bows and the guys all did the 108th one together - THAT WAS SO PRECIOUS - can someone please find a pic of that PLEASE????)

AS THEY WERE GETTING READY TO THROW THE STICKS AGAIN:
KHD - Before you throw the sticks, tell us about your 108 bows...tell us how differently you felt on the 10th, 50th, and 100th bows...
EJW - The first ten well I went into it without know anything so I was just thinking about hurrying up and getting to 108 but as I went along...IT MAKES AN EMPTY HEADED PERSON LIKE ME THINK ABOUT SOMETHING AT LEAST ONCE.
KHD - So what was that thought.
EJW - That 1N2D does well. Let's go a long way! (meaning "let the show run a long time") (Awww EJW so sweet!!!)

ON THE WAY TO THE BUNJEE JUMP PLACE:
KHD again elects EJW, but LSGeun elects LSG. EJW also elects LSG. KimC elects LSG.
MCM - Okay right now EJW has one vote, LSG has three, so if LSG and I both elect EJW, then it would be a tie between LSG and EJW, so we'd have to do something to break the tie.
KHD - Then we'll just decide over a game of rocks/papers/scissors...Life or death matters are resolved via rocks/papers/scissors... (HAHA).
Rather than setting up a tie between EJW and LSG, MCM elects LSG (funneee). KHD asks who LSG would have elected and LSG says "definitely not LSG." but then when asked again, LSG gives in and elects himself (hahaha). LSG tells KHD that he doesn't even know how to ride a bike (or maybe there's a roller coaster called Viking?)...
KHD - That's why it's going to be that much more fun!
KHD - We're you born a great singer?
LSG - No, definitely not.
KHD - You had to apply yourself to become Korea's best singer. There isn't a bunjee jumper who was born to bunjee jump.
LSG - Why do I have to apply myself to become a bunjee jumper! (SO FUNNY!)

AT THE BUNJEE JUMP PLACE:
EJW - Ah if it's this height I can do it too.
Someone asks EJW - "you're saying you can do it too?"
EJW - Sure if it's only this high. You didn't see me some time ago when I hurled through the air with the guys from Shinhwa? The guys from Shinhwa and I always used to bunjee jump.
(EJW later tells LSG and KHD that he was making all this up so that he can give LSG some confidence --- he really never bunjee jumped before --- too funny!)

WHEN LSG IS GETTING JUMPING INSTRUCTIONS:
KHD jokingly tells the guys to give LSG some encouragement and strength, as this could be the last time they see him.
LSG - We're going to be able to see each other again!
KHD - Of course!
LSG - Okay. Let me go up there once to check things out.
KHD - Since there isn't much space up there, EJW and I will go up with him, so the rest of you bid him farewell.
LSG - Aish what do you mean farewell we're going to see each other again.
LSGeun - it's going to be over soon SeungGiya
MCM - I GUESS THE STORY ABOUT SEUNG GI LEAVING IS TRUE!
KHD starts laughing and says, "It's not because of Iljimae that he's leaving but because of this!" (Think it's safe to say that he'll be leaving...)

BUNJEE:
KIMC - How awesome was he? OMG I luuuuuuVVVVVV him!!!!!! AND he was able to throw the sticks so that they move just one space - which allowed them to eat AND make a shortcut in the Yoot game. And later when they're all eating, KimC is SO SWEET as he hands over the choice meat that KHD gave him over to LSG. KimC is caring for his younger brothers but also, he probably felt sympathy for LSG, as he agonized for two hours about taking the leap. KimC FIGHTING!!!

I felt bad for EJW because you could tell that in his heart, he really wanted to do it to save LSG but couldn't do it (you could see how EJW got teary after KimC jumped - he must have been so proud and relieved!!!). I'm glad that he didn't take TWO HOURS to give up, and also glad he didn't do it because as LSG says later in the car on the way to the restaurant:
KHD - SeungGiya, how did you feel when Jiwon couldn't follow through with the jump?
LSG - Truthfully? I was very thankful. The thought that there was another person who could understand what I was feeling - I felt bad, but I was SO thankful.
KHD - ....if everyone couldn't do it and it got around to me to try to complete the mission...it killed me to think about it! (HAHA)

Mmmm, think that's it. Just fast-forwarding here...
There's one space on the board that says that you have to go to Jejudo Island for something, so since that takes a long time, they decide to throw the sticks before they go to bed because if they do land there, then someone has to leave NOW. They decide to play rocks/paper/scissors to see who throws the sticks (and POSSIBLY head out to Jejudo). Just for laughs, they decide that whoever WINS r/p/s should be the one to throw the sticks. When EJW and MCM lose, EJW wants to go wash up but KHD says they should stick around for the throwing of the sticks and stuff. Anyway, KHD says something to EJW that I thought was so cute and funny, and ultimately sweet (so KHD):
KHD - Aishh...when he's around I get annoyed, when he's not around I get concerned! (Hahaha)

Okay - wow that took a while. blink.gif
Hope you guys liked it...

Peace and love to everyone here!!!

Eequeezee, thanks for the trans. After reading your synopsis, I truly appreciate KimC more than before. Not just because he looks out particularly for Seung Gi, but I respect people who take action over words. He's just an all around good guy with a great soul. I hope whatever ailment he had previously is gone now. He does look much healthier now than before. I agree with you on the stretching the bunjee thing. Even without understanding, I found it cruel and painful to watch Seung Gi agonize like that and for sooo long. Poor boy, DID look like he was about to cry. It was probably ironic the relief he felt when Jiwon said he'd do and then again when he didn't. The things you do for ratings =)

Found the latest Veoh links for the todays episode. I hope this works, I've never posted anything like this on here or anywhere. Kinda feel like I'm contributing finally tongue.gif

Eequeezee, thanks again for your summary/translation. I'm sure there was a second part after the mnet video but it was already cut like that when I saw it... I hope so anyway.

Huh, so he'll be leaving the show sad.gif Can't say it was unexpected. I think they were just joking about it then though. It was probably during that time that those articles about him leaving came out.

eequeezee thanks soo much for the translations! I agree with you on the subbed episodes, they're really not the best subbing out there. Plus they cut out all the fun parts from the schoolkids episodes, which kinda irked me. Anyway, with regards to your question about the bike, its not that LSG cant ride a bike (incidentally, there is an amusement ride that the koreans call Viking, some kind of ship ride thing according to my teacher), he's actually referring to how he hasnt taken the thrilling type of rides in amusement parks, and so how's he gonna be able to do the bungee jump? Anyway, there was another part in ths bungee espisode that eequeezee didnt mention which i thought was pretty funny. After EJW takes over LSG's challenge, KHD goes over to talk to an extremely relieved looking LSG. It was really funny, how LSG was thanking KHD and grasping his hands to his forehead.
KHD: So I guess you will sign a lifetime contract with us after this?
LSG: Oh! Of course! Pass the contract please!
Then LSG prepares to put his thumbprint on the camera.
KHD: LSG, until you pass on, until your children...
LSG (cuts into KHD's words): My children, 3rd generation, 5 generation, ALL OK!
And he presses his thumbprint onto the camera.
Funny!! He was so relieved that he just sold himself and his future 5 generations. And this little part came back to haunt him in this week's episode too, when they were preparing to sleep. Ahh, someone really kind uploaded this week's episode onto youtube on sunday night itself, and i was up till 2am watching them! This week's episode is pretty good too, lots of LSG moments. Cant say the same for his wardrobe too though. The hat is cute.. but it really clashes oddly with his image. Thanks ivey79 for the Veoh links, Veoh always has such great quality! For those who like using youtube better, here's the links to the full episodes, credits to churchguitar, the uploader. Quality is not the best though.

Linkies. Had a free weekend so I spent some time on the net. Since I'm a low-tech kinda girl, I'm going to leave You Tube uploads of LSG to a pro like o51029. I'll just post some of the more interesting perfs that I've found. I'm afraid some of my posts will be of lower quality. Part of the reasons is that I can't quite get to the original source for downloading. The other is that I know I must edit the files, but did not have the time and patience for them. I know I'll have to do that soon. Adding "&fmt=18' or "&fmt=6" may improve quality of some but may not work on all. Sorry.
Anyways, here are 2 older perfs that I don't think have been posted on YT yet? Timing is off on both clips.

White Lie (9/2007). Personally, this is THE LSG look that I prefer. No complaint with this one. So this post is actually for me, moi, and myself. hehe

Words that are hard to say (2006)

Here are a couple that have been You-Tubed:

Because You're My Woman. Looks like one of the earliest M!Countdown perfs by LSG. Exceptional job. ivey79, it is a coincidence that mine and o51029's posts are one after another. Noticeable difference in the renditions. It could very well be sung by two different singers, yeah? LSG's current perfs of this oldie are, honestly, lackluster sometimes. I agree that the style is different now. But it's not only a new vocal style, it's like the passion (for the song, i mean) is somewhat waning. This is his bread-and-butter song. I can understand that it's hard to find inspiraton to sing a something that has been rehashed many times over. Plus, he's older now so the interpretation of the song is different. Unlike before, his audience has become younger. So the song's meaning is changed. That's why I still love this version over any other.

I found this older clip of Lee Sun Hee and LSG dueting (is that a word?) the song "To J". Too bad the file is cut off at the end. A lovely arrangement that Ms. Lee really took off with. Poor Seung Gi, he was not even in the same league. I wonder what LSH think of Seung Gi's career at this point. Especially of his recent popularity surge and the way he handles his fame. BTW, o51029, thanks for the LSH/LSG home segments. I love them.

This is a surpised find for me. A performance the band Hot Potato with their vocalist, KimC. It's an older 2006 song that has a few YT versions. I don't think this one has been posted. I love it for its summery outdoory concert feel. And who among us drama viewers does not notice the Seoul Tower, right?

eequeezee and sarangaia, thanks for the summary. Made things much clearer for me. Okie, I've held back my opinions on LSG in this episode. But I think I have to agree with eequeezee on this one too. While I was watching the LSG bungee non-jumping moment, I was thinking: Wow, this looks so much like the "Vacation" MV. That was a lot of LSG minutes ... for a total let-down. I'm not passing judgment on his choice of not jumping, I just thought that it was not very good editing on 1N2D's part. I know ratings mean ... everything. But, that was too much time focused on LSG. It's a good thing that all his costars are generous beings who allowed him to take the bulk of the spotlight these days. Once again, questionable marketing by KBS.

o51029: Thanks for the pixs. Love the beach one that you've posted. I have to drop by the thread to check them out. Honey, we know that he's leaving 1N2D all along, haven't we? It was just when and how. Have you stocked up on the tissues yet for that farewell epi? sigh.

Thanks, ivey79 and sarangaia, for the 1N2D links. Off to watch them now.

littl0piggy: I think this is what you are looking for - a very short cut of LSG, not a complete one to d/l.

Here I am..back again. Just can't seem to get away from this thread tongue.gif Just finished watching 1n2d and had to come and share a few thoughts. This was a pretty good ep too even with all that talking that I didn't understand. Funny to see the first third of the show devoted to washing up and waking up. I couldn't believe they put a camera in the bathroom though. I literally dropped my mouth when I saw BOTH Seung Gi and MC Mong showering together. LOL. Koreans really have a totally differnt level of comfort when it comes to bathing don't they? Hee hee. Loved how Seung Gi in the background had his mouth hanging wide open drinking the shower water while MC Mong was hamming it up in front of the camera. Oh, the things these guys do to get ratings. My gosh. Naked. On TV! There funny moments too. Seung Gi and his beautifying routine...toning, whitening, and whatever else he does with the third bottle. He keeps himself pretty that's for sure. And the poor boy really didn't get much sleep this round. Neither did Jiwon or KimC either I think. I can't stand snoring either so I sympathize. I had a question too. Why do they keep saying "Call!"? What's the joke about this bit? Thanks for whomever can clarify.

Thanks Sarangia for the trans. I thought that bit was the funniest part of the whole jump deal. I think at that point you could've asked him to donate a kidney and he would've said yes. He was so desperat to redeem himself. LOL. Poor boy.

Bedifferent, thanks for all the links too. I saw the one with LSH couple nites ago and yeah... poor boy didn't even know where to step in. He looked a bit lost and left behind. Nowadays, he could've jumped in mid-performance and be right in step, no probs. That's experience for ya. And passion... that's actually interesting because I get the sense that where his passion lays has changed too. I coudn't really pinpoint it, but now that you mention it I think in the past his focus has always been on the song itself. The music, his voice, the emotions in the song. He literally sang his heart out. I think now days, he's changed a bit where the stage performance and his own showmanship has taken more of the the lead. Not sure if I'm getting my point across, but I feel as if he's putting the emphasis more on himself vs the song. He's a lot more popular than he used to be and maybe even unkowingly to himself, he doesn't have to try as hard as he used to to impress his listeners. He's gotten comfortable and maybe even feeling a little lax? Well, that maybe too severe. Just a thought. There's definitely going to be a lot of changes and progression over his career cause he is so young. I am curious to see where his voice will go next. With the filming of the drama coming up he's going to be on a long break from singing. I'm sure he'll keep up with voice practice, but it'll be interesting to see his next comeback and see what direction he will take next. Ok, this is really premature, but I'm already thinking about his next album. I'm really hoping for a change. Ballad king or not, the boy has great range and I'd like to see him explore other music. R&B? That would be totally unexpected, but suits my taste =)

Oh, and I agree with you on the look too. 3rd album promo clothes rocked. Elegant suits, sweaters, REAL fashionable ties and neckwear. One of my fav looks for him just because he wears such clothing INCREDIBLY well. I remember he went on a talk show (don't ask me which cause can't remmber) and he wore these fitted black jean/pants with a purple dress completely tucked in with a black belt and I just coudn't help but stare at him. Tall and elegent, he oozed class. And the legs... OH the legs... They went on forever. =) Ok, need to pick up my drool here. hee hee. But yeah, miss seeing Seung Gi all GQ too. What happened to that stylist? Must of left before this album... sleep.gif

Alright have a good nite all!!

ivey79 Yea, Koreans are quite different when it comes to bathing. I watched this documentary once, and it said that because clean water was hard to come by/expensive (cant remember the exact reason) in the past, they resolved the problem by building public baths (the ones we see so often in dramas). And because these public baths became really popular and sprung up almost everywhere, bathing has sort of evolved into a culture with Koreans, and they are largely comfortable with showering together with people they are close to (or people they are not close to also for that matter, i mean, just look at the situation in public baths..). It took me some time to get used to the idea that over there, they are ok with bathing with each other too. I must say that the producers are really doing everything to get footage of the boys. Planting a camera in the bathroom!!! OK, so we dont exactly see them fully in the nude but i thought the program was supposed to be family friendly. Well, not that i'm complaining, since the scene was hilarious. And yes, i feel really sympathetic for LSG. He seems to be a really light sleeper, and it looks like to me that he doesnt really sleep well/alot every week. The part where MCM put his leg on Seung Gi's belly was so comical. Its the second time already, the first time I remember MCM sleeping on LSG's belly.

All right, I said I'd be back after watching this week's ep, and here i am! Not going to summarise the whole ep though, I'll leave that to our dear eequeezee, since one of the highlights of my week is reading her summaries. Just going to pick out a few of my favourite moments biggrin.gif Since I'm still pretty new to the language, I'd appreciate it if any of you point out any mistakes i make!

In the bathroom
MCM: Why is the hot water not working?
LSG: Oh, why's it not working? Was it not working from just now?
MCM: I'll just get the water from here.
And he picks up this cup and starts splashing water on his head. Its really funny, the bathroom scene, the two of them look like they are bathing to prepare to take a mugshot or something. I think LSG tries getting the hot water out from the shower again after that and he succeeds and realises its because they turned the shower knob the wrong side or something, and he says something like 'look the hot water is totally hot!' Ahhh.. so funny! Then MCM just starts doing his whole shampoo hair routine for the camera while LSG is gargling shower water in the background after that, and nearly chokes on it upon hearing one of MCM's wisecracks. This was really a classic scene.. biggrin.gif

While preparing to sleep
LSG shares his skincare routine with MCM. The whitening part made me think of the episode of Sang Sang Plus where LSG was a guest and he mentioned how he cares most about the whitening part in his skincare regime. I guess he knows as well as we do that maintaining a pretty face takes a lot of work, not to mention products smile.gif LSG then mentions something about how its time to sleep but he cant sleep. Just at this time, the PD passes him something.
LSG: What's this? Wait a minute, what's this again~!!
The PD pushes a piece of paper and an inkpad across to him, while he just stares open mouthed at them. Flashback to the bungee platform where LSG sells himself out.
LSG: Aiyoo, suddenly i feel so tired
And so he lies down and pretends to snore, cute!! But he suddenly gets up again and mutters to himself something like "I really dont know what the police are doing.." Ah, LSG is so funny grumbling about his being exploited. So he starts writing the contract, and MCM steps on the piece of paper he's writing.
LSG: Hyung, this is an important time for me!
MCM: Why?
And he continues to write the contract, with MCM at the side all confused about what he's doing (since he wasnt up on the platform with them then.) LSG completes his contract and starts scribbling furiously on another piece of paper, while KHD and LSGuen are in the background enjoying the eggs they just boiled. Enter KimC beside LSG.
KimC: What did you do wrong again? A contract for 5 generations?! Hey do you know what it means to be bound to the contract for 5 generations?
LSG: Exactly..
KimC: If its 5 generations, it means until your children's children's children's children!
Oh this conversation had me rolling on the floor. I love KimC!! His laymen's explanation for 5 generations was so side-splitting! Anyway, LSG finishes his scribbling on the other piece of paper and it turns out that he was writing EJW's contract (the 50 years thing), and he tried to get EJW to sign it saying 'ah, let's just do a double together!' . Of course, EJW refuses to do it, and asks LSG not to go around signing things in future. Gosh, their exchanges can be so hilarious sometimes.

LSG's 1st practice marriage
While in the middle of playing the game, a small girl walks up to LSG with a piece of paper for him to sign, and the guys go crazy behind him.
KHD: Give Seung Gi oppa a kiss!
(little girl kisses him) aawww~~ sooo uber cute!!!!
KHD: Give a kiss to me too! Me too!
(little girl looks horrified)
KHD then asks everyone to sit down and gets the little girl to run to the one she likes best. No surprise, she heads right for LSG.
KHD: Do you want to marry LSG oppa?
(she nods) and KHD starts the practice marriage ceremony
KHD: Groom LSG, will you love the bride forever?
LSG: ...Yea!
KHD: Bride, will you love groom LSG forever?
(she nods) and so the two of them bow to each other and give a 'love-kiss'. LSG then offers the little toddler his arm and the two happy newly-weds walk down the aisle to complete the ceremony! Only in LSG's case, he's waddling like a cutie duck down the aisle with his bride. Haha, LSG's really come a long way, hasnt he? from charming those noona's out there to becoming a cradle snatcher. Ahh, this must be my favourite part of the whole ep. So so so so cute! Kids really seem to love him, whether its a boy or girl, dont they?

Back in the car
KHD: Tired, Seung Gi yah? Are you tired? Look at this then. (holds up LSGuen's 'nude' shot)
Everyone starts laughing.
EJW: Seung Gi yah, are you tired?
LSG: Yea, I'm tired.
EJW takes off his specs suddenly and makes a face that cracks up KHD and LSG totally. ahhh, our eun cho-ding is really so cute sometimes. KHD loves the face EJW makes so much that he asks him to pose for his camera, and keeps giggling at the picture he took saying that its really cute, even kissing it at a point, which really shocks EJW. Haha!

Ok, I think thats about all i can remember from the episode. Woah, that took some time to type! We can all wait in anticipation for eequeezee's weekly summaries next week. Really appreciate her efforts. Have a great day guys!

does anyone know where i can download or watch champagne with seung gi? It out yesterday but it seems like it cannot be found anywhere. i heard it very funny


I have it. I just have to split and upload it to youtube. I'll do that after work today. It'll be low quality I think because its originally flv format.

sarangaia thanks for your translation/summary too. I was wondering what was being said while the audience was laughing their butts off. I loved the bathroom and contract scene. And the part where MC mong moves in his sleep and ends up in a horizontal position laugh.gif He must be a restless sleeper.

bedifferent, thanks for the links. I'll say it again, he rocks the fitted suit.

ivey79, I enjoyed reading your post. I would say more but I have to get to work laugh.gif

ivey79: IMHO, you are spot-on in your analysis of Seung Gi's focus. I think it reflects the dilemma of a multi-entertainer in general. His interests are divided these days. (I guess we should be thankful that he's given the opportunity). One on hand, it is commendable that he is able to branch out and be successful in more than one entertainment field. However, we can't expect LSG to maintain the same level without a serious commitment for vocal training. It's true that he is still a cut above many other young singers out there for his remarkable versatility and capability. Except for a few, his live performances have less of a WOW-oh-my-god effect on me these days. Like you've mentioned, it could be due to less time devoted to singing/training and more on acting and performing. Yup, i never thought i would say this; but, LSG has become an entertainer (hahaha... pun on word intended!). Before, he sells the performance with his singing ability - it's all about the song. Now, he also sells the performance with his delivery of the song; his stage performance. The focus has shifted to LSG the performer. The song has turned into an instrument to see another LSG performance on stage. He places a lottttt more emphasis on his image these days (on and off-stage). In addition, the audience now becomes an integral part of his popularity so the performance is more catered to them. Thus, we see more of a "fan-servicing" stage presentation. Part of me is happy for his success, the other idealistic liberal democratic Californian cringes every time he goes into his emo performance mode these days. I'd love it more if he puts more heart into some songs instead of just cruising along with another so-so perf. Cause I know he can. Seriously, I can only hope that the passion for singing is not completely lost somewhere along the road to success. It would be ashamed if it is. **Ok, now I must duck to avoid fan-girl wrath, hehe**

eequeezee, had time to digest your write-up. I don't know what your career path maybe years from now. May I suggest film studies in the venerable distinguished USC film school? Ha. Thank you. That must have taken a while.

The EJW vaccine scene: now if we are complaining about the long LSG non-jump cut, this one is pretty long too. It was comical to see someone so terrified of needles. I'd never guess. Uhh, maybe I can after all ...

The EJW post-temple comment: Without trying to muddle in religion, may I just say that I totalllly heart EJW for his touching self-admission? His reflection afterward is so awwwww. He made up for the vaccine scene with his maturity and sincerity. To do all that bowing is admirable. As much as I love all his tongue-in-cheek-iness, he's even a more cutie in this episode. Oh no, am I turning into an EJW fangirl? hahaha.

sarangaia: You go girl. Yay. Thanks for the summary. Still have not finished seeing this week's 1N2D so will chime in later. BTW, did you get to see that very short "Champagne" cut? Was there any interesting in it?

Hi everyone ~~~

Sarangaia-unnie, I am REALLY impressed with your ability to understand and translate Korean! I am so WOWed. I didn't speak a word of Korean (not a SINGLE word) until I was 9 (about 8 years ago). I went to Korea for the first time, fell in love with everything, so went to Korean school, watched a lot of Korean TV, and started speaking ONLY Korean with my mom and relatives. Sounds like the episode was fun as always! Can't wait to watch it! And I'm so glad you started to write up some summaries/translations --- this way, I can just add to your stuff like you did with the scene at the Bunjee tower. I think I found my partner in crime just like o51029 did with B-unnie! GO SUBS AND VIDS TEAMS!!! tongue.gif

The stuff about promising his next 5 generations to the show or whatever: I couldn't for the life of me understand what he was pledging to KHD up there... What exactly is he committing too? Having watched that part again, I have to say I'm a bit annoyed. Here's why:
LSG didn't jump - again that's FINE. But what irks me is how he tells EJW to relax and jump, and that it'll be over in a second. He said this jokingly I know, but he says this after spending TWO HOURS up there... That's why I wished the producers made it seem like LSG gave up A LOT quicker, because then when he says what he said to EJW, it would actually be funny instead of irritating. In addition, this whole contract stuff (which obviously carries over to this latest episode) is kinda annoying because if he does indeed leave the show, then what is all this contract stuff about??? I don't think it's the case here, but remember how he signed a 15 or 20 year contract with the show a few months back? Again, I know it's all in jest... I guess I don't really get the humor in it, AND I'm extra sensitive about him leaving the show. ANYHOO...

B-unnie - I am beginning to really believe that you have psychic abilities... Last Summer, I helped out graduate students at USC's film school as part of my humanities program --- it was interesting, and I learned a lot, but I HATED IT. Being on a set is the most restless and boring thing EVER.

EJW's bowing really touched my heart too~~~ I think he's a much deeper guy than he lets on. I'd love a picture of the guys doing 1N2D gesture right after EJW throws the sticks after saying how he thought of the show while bowing. I don't know where people get these pics but if anyone can be on the lookout huh.gif I don't know much about his music. I only know that ADIOS song and I think it's.....NOT GOOD. Apparently he's working with PSY on something so I'll keep my fingers crossed.

That's it for now. Peace and love to everyone --- hi ivey-unnie, G-unnie (jahl-eet-jjee??) cool.gif

P.S., uu89 - if you don't get a translation this week, I'll chime in whenever I watch it (this Saturday?)

I know that the full "Champagne" video is coming from our lovely o51029. Here's another short choppy cut on YT (of Tiffany/SNSD) in case you have not seen it. Can't help but have to post this since the dancing part is just so ... LOL. Love the lavender color. The skin care regimen is still an item, haha. Cute pairing with Tiffany. I half-expected them to duet "Hope and Desire". Aww.

eequeezee: it's ok. Hollywood is not for everyone. I didn't find my direction in life until last year. Late bloomers we both are. BTW, I'm more than willing to sulk with you when LSG actually leaves 1N2D. tongue.gif

ivey79, is it the one below? Stare away, babe...
http://youtube.com/watch?v=6OzNyGo67mk&fmt=18

Someone has asked me once to look for the video of a specific picture that she was very fond of. I found it, whoever you are (sorry, bad memory). So this is for you. LOL at the music. Short clip.

B-unnie ~~~
I don't know how you (and o51029) navigate these Korean sites, especially when some of them require usernames and passwords, or installing software of some kind...

Hollywood definitely isn't for me - I think I'm the only one in my entire school who doesn't read US Weekly!

Quick SNSD thought in relation to LSG - Tiffany is really cute, but I always get a feeling that she's acting a lot cuter than she really is... If LSG and Taeyeon had a child, he or she would be an AMAZING singer (I think Taeyeon is one of the most talented young singers). Sooyoung could be LSG's sister - they totally look like siblings. And lastly, aside from Koo Hye Sun, the only other girl I'd be okay with LSG marrying is Yoona.

Question about AP classes - Why do we have finals when we already took the AP exams???

BYE!!!

The Champagne episode is up but be warned, it's very low quality sad.gif I'm in the process of uploading the original flv file to megaupload which is a little bit better.
