Hankyung tells his fans to not worry through Cyworld

Amidst all the drama that has ensued following the news that Hankyung had requested to have his contract with SM Entertainment terminated, the man himself has spoken on his Cyworld about his current state of mind.

 

Hankyung posted on his Cyworld:

I am fine right now, I know that all of you are there for me!

I love you all ~~~

Not much else was said but I am sure his fans will still be anxious about the ensuing developments that will probably spill over into 2010.

 

Fight for your RIGHTS!

Super Junior Hangeng Hospitalized

Super Junior Hangeng Hospitalized

Looks like Super Junior Hangeng (Hankyung) is not just visiting hospital.

As I previously posted Super Junior Hangeng has been suffering from different illnesses that he caught from his restless activities and SME was just neglecting their requests (a time for themselves / rest).

On my FB wall I saw these photos (above) of Hangeng and I almost break into tears, T.T (**Soomin, this will totally break your heart) I can't explain it but it looks like he was suffering from pain and not just visiting for check-up.  I had myself checked-up heap of  times but I never had a dextrose unless  my problem needs  serious attention.  He must have been dehydrated to get a couple of bags and I think each of them are 500 to 1000ccs. GAWD! 

TO SM ENTERTAINMENT,

PLEASE! DON'T DO SUCH THINGS TO YOUR ARTISTS, YOU SHOULD TREASURE THEM AND TAKE CARE OF THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE WORKING TO THEIR BONES TO BRING YOU MONEY!! EVERYTHING SHOULD BE FAIR, FOR PETE'S SAKE, DO THEY REALLY HAVE TO GO ALL THOSE SUFFERINGS? THEY DON'T, DON'T DESERVE TO BE TREATED LIKE SLAVES.  THEY NEED REST AND THEY DESERVE REST!  WILL YOU LOOSE SO MUCH IF YOU GIVE THEM A DAY AT LEAST? YOU SHOULD HAVE LEARNED FROM DBSK WHEN THEY FILED A LAWSUIT AGAINST YOUR UNJUST CONTRACTS, DOES ALL YOUR TALENTS HAVE TO DO THE SAME THING FOR YOU TO WAKE UP?

ALL MY LOVE AND SUPPORT TO SUPER JUNIOR and DBSK.

Super Junior M – Activities temporarily stopped

Super Junior M – Activities temporarily stopped

SM declared that all SJM’s activities would stop temporarily. Henry would be in promotion with Zhang Li Yin.

Since reporting that Korean group Super Junior-M’s leader Han Geng filed a contract termination request against SM Entertainment on December 21st, it has triggered many speculations from the media world. Recently, a reporter noticed that the December 30th event guest list for “Passionate Animation Festival” includes SJM’s member Henry’s name.

The reporter realized that Henry’s name is not linked with other members, but with SM’s Chinese female artist, Zhang Li Yin to sing her song, “Love Me”. According to festival producers, they originally planned for the entire group to appear at the event but because of the recent lawsuit, SM declared that SJM cannot perform due to “internal reasons” and offered the Zhang Li Yin & Henry combination instead of the originally planned complete SJM group. The festival staff member then said, “Afterwards, we learned that SJM cannot attend because of Han Geng’s contract termination. Currently, the company is consulting with Han Geng on this matter. During this stage of Han Geng’s leave of the group, SJM will also temporarily disband, and Henry with Zhang Li Yin will represent the company by forming a group for future promotions.”

About SM’s temporary adjustment, the producers welcomed it. “Before SJM required 150,000 in appearance fees, now with only Henry and Zhang Li Yin, it is only 50,000. The fee difference is quite a lot.”

6 Members Of Super Junior Files Lawsuit Against SM??!

6 Members Of Super Junior Files Lawsuit Against SM??!

The day before, Hangeng, the only Chinese member of Asia’s super popular group, Super Junior, filed for a termination of his “exclusive contract” with SM Entertainment. According to the latest news from Korea, Hangeng is not the only one who filed the lawsuit. Other Super Junior members have also filed a similar lawsuit, and they include: Lee Teuk, Yesung, Kangin, Eun Hyuk and Donghae. The only reason why news about Hangeng was exposed first, is because of his nationality.

According to the lawsuit, Hangeng has not had any rest in 2 years, causing him to suffer from fatigue, which also resulted in chronic gastritis, illnesses related to his kidney, lumbar disc herniation, as well as a visible decrease in body strength. However, SM Entertainment rejected Hangeng’s requests for rest, and continued to schedule activities for him, which caused Hangeng to suffer a lot of pain.

According to the contents of the lawsuit, since the time of his debut, Hangeng didn’t even have one day of rest per week. For 2 years, Hangeng has continuously done his overseas schedules as well, and had no choice but to continue with his schedules without any rest. In his contract with SM, there are clauses stating that he has to pay the company monetary damages should he be unable to fulfill the schedules arranged for him. Thus, even when he was in poor health, he had no choice but to follow through with his schedules.

Once the news broke out, many fans have expressed the wish for SM and the members to be able to make peace, and make changes to their contracts, as well as expressed hope that Super Junior will not face the threat of disbanding.

My sibling's chingu visited us from Cebu City and brought us Dried Mangoes, suddenly I remembered Ok Taecyeon of 2PM from their show "MNET Wild Bunny", when he brought a bagful of dried mangoes he shared to his group mates. I think he got it from America. Export product.

I have the same brand of what they had, so while eating and reminiscing, I will savor every bite. Yum! Yum! ^^

All I can say to TVXQ are congratulations to your success and I hope that you're battle against SME will paid off. Lastly, may your friendship with each other (members) will not be affected on the outcome of your case against SME.

NEW Let's Go Dream Team Ace

NEW Let's Go Dream Team Ace

KBS' Sports Variety Show, Let's Go Dream Team Season 2 Idol members Eunhyuk of Super Junior and Minho of SHINee are fighting over, of who's the real Ace in Dream Team.

When I saw the first episode, I really thought the show was just for fun but seeing Minho got frustrated and almost cry when he got eliminated on the game, I thought (WOW) they're taking the game seriously. Then on the fourth episode, Minho gave the first victory for their team since it was launched, beating the popular baseball team Tigers. You'll see how happy Minho with a huge victorious smile! (pic on top)

On Episode 5 Minho wasn't around, with his mile long legs he could have given another victory to Dream Team because the game was made for him - running. Eunhyuk was there, he gave his all but unfortunately his rival (Stunt Men Team) was better then him. It was a big burden for Eunhyuk when everyone on the team was counting on him. He missed the flag lacking one big step, it really was a good game but Eunhyuk cried after losing the game. Poor darling! T.T

To make up for his lost and to frustration, Eunhyuk made vengeance giving a breath-taking WIN against BMX Riders Team on Episode 6, proving that he is an ace of the team as well.

The battle for aces are on, on Let's Go Dream Team. Fighting!
