Super Junior’s Heechul Over SM Entertainment’s ‘Slave Contract’
Posted by tsuuicide on January 24th, 2011
Super Junior’s Heechul set out to clarify the rumors regarding SM Entertainment’s ’slave contract’ during his interview for the February edition of “GQ.”He revealed, “Of course, I, too, have many problems with my company. But I don’t think that it’s necessary to reveal all of them to the public. Honestly speaking, ‘we don’t make money?’ That is not true. Lately, everyone keeps talking about slave contacts this, slave contracts that, but what’s really funny is, what kind of slave goes out and buys his parents a building? What kind of slave drives a car? What kind of slave goes out for drinks?”
Heechul previously revealed that he and his fellow Super Junior members re-signed with SM Entertainment on the January 18th episode of MBC’s “Radio Star“. His bandmate, Siwon, asked the media not to “call us slaves, and to never use the term because it makes us feel like slaves.”
After expressing his thoughts against rumors surrounding SM Entertainment’s slave contracts through his interview with “GQ” magazine, Super Junior’s Heechul left a series of impassioned tweets to defend his stance.
Reportedly, Heechul became very upset by a tweet from an anti, which read:
RT @1226****** Stop acting out, did you toss your respect into the Han River?? Or did you sell it at the market? You’re a slave, who do you think you are bi******? Ah… Since you’re a slave, did your master order you to act out too? If you shut up, at least no one will notice, don’t you think?Heechul re-tweeted the message, and then wrote the following on January 24th:
“Whether it’s studying or what-have-you, you should be spending your time worrying about the country, society, or the economy. In the time you have to read replies, read newspaper editorials, instead you… What’s the point in knowing how to read if you can’t even understand it? Without end, all of your arguments are just illogical.. At least if you sit still, you won’t be noticed. Woof woof~Source : Allkpop
The public probably doesn’t even care about me or you. You can’t even be sure that they’ll read this post either. If they think I’m funny, then they think I’m funny.. If I’m not, then I’m not. Don’t go running around acting as if you’re a representative of the public.
In the time you’re spending in bringing down others, have you ever thought of being filial towards your parents? Instead of lighting fires in your eyes, turn on the lamp in your room and think about your future. I suppose I’m childish for arguing with the people who are taking a dump on me… All of you, if you’re going to take a dump on something, go do it in your own bathrooms.
And all of you dogs who run around with eyes red in search of something to rip apart. It’s obvious you guys are lacking something, which is why you run around like crazy fools, exaggerating every little thing… Realize that just because you are part of the public does not mean you are embody the society as a whole.
To be thankful that I can be filial towards my parents, and to have something I can call ‘mine’ so early on… Do I look like a slave? People that have vast experiences living as a member of society will never think of me as a slave. I’m not sure whether or not they will see, but I would like to thank the public ^-^
I would like to ask the public: Do I seem like a slave? Do I not look free? Before I became a celebrity, like many others, I worked part-time for a company.. I experienced a bit of society, which is why I’m thankful for my life right now as I live on.”

The Wonder Girls secretly volunteered and donated for two years
Posted by tsuuicide on January 17th, 2011
The consistent charity work the Wonder Girls have been involved in has touched the hearts of netizens.Since 2008, the Wonder Girls volunteered at an infants home in Gyeonggi-do, Kwangju.
The home was created under the aim to create a safe environment for infants with disabilities to grow and learn. Although each of the members took part in the volunteer work, Ye Eun took a step further by personally donating $10,000 USD for the surgery of an infant born with a deformed finger. For six months after the surgery, Ye Eun continued to make contributions towards the child’s health. Thanks to her help, the child is now able to move her fourth and fifth fingers.
A representative of the facility commented, “The Wonder Girls members visited often for volunteer work, and Ye Eun even contributed towards surgery fees. The members themselves did not want their acts to be reported to the public, and requested that we keep it a secret.”
Sunye was also found to have donated to an orphanage in Gyeonggi-do, Paju. A representative of the facility revealed, “The members came for volunteer work. The fact that they did not even wear any make up while participating made them that much more beautiful. Sunye especially quietly did her work and shed many tears while looking after the children.”
This isn’t the first time Sunye’s done a charitable act. Earlier, she was reported to have helped out an old man living in a mud hut in the mountains, as well as several donations towards an orphanage in Eunpyung-gu.
Even while the group was busy with their U.S. activities in 2009, the girls continued their charitable acts. At the end of every year, JYP Entertainment artists visit the Samsung Medical Center for a free concert for the patients there.
A representative of JYPE confirmed, “It is true that Ye Eun donated. Not only Sunye and Ye Eun, but the other members take part in charity work as well. The members do not want this to reach the pu
blic, as they do these acts with pure hearts. It seems like they’re worried about people misinterpreting their intentions if such news reaches the public. The girls also do take part in the company’s year-end charity performances at the Samsung Medical Center.”Source: Allkpop

Mizuki Nana releases her first autobiography
Posted by tsuuicide on December 27th, 2010
Mizuki Nana has her own way to celebrate her 10 year anniversary as a singer next year. Instead of releasing a single or album, she is releasing her first autobiography, “Shin’ai”.As an autobiography, the book speaks a lot about her life, starting from her childhood, when she grew up in Ehime, to her struggling life in the entertainment industry — about how her father trained her to sing Enka songs since she was a child, and how it eventually led to her winning a karaoke contest.
Nana mentions how the company she was first with went bankrupt and her financial situation was not good, and at the same time her father’s condition was worsening. You can say that this book is a book of confessions, and even though the odds weren’t in Nana’s favor, she never gave up and kept believing in her dream of a life in Tokyo.
The title of her book is actually the title of her 19th single, “Shin’ai”, that was released on January 21, 2009. It reached #1 on the Oricon charts and she performed it at “Kouhaku Uta Gassen” that same year.
The book will release on Nana’s 31st birthday, January 21st.

Unfortunately, my mom was the chairwoman of the PTA, so I used to get busted immediately.”
