This special youtube edition of [Playful Kiss] began its first episode airing on 2nd November (Tuesday) with "The morning on our after-wed day" and lasted till the finale on 16th November with "Happy birthday!"; with a total of these 7 webisodes and 6 episodes of [Seung-jo's Diary], the combination of this spin-off version of [Playful Kiss] has thus been receiving high amount of attention from worldwide at a total of 8.4 million uploaded views in all.

As of now, the 1st episode of this youtube version of [Playful Kiss] remains to be the No.1 amongst the Entertainment category of November, whilst its 4th, 5th, 6th episode remains as the 1st, 2nd and 3rd most watched and popular videos in the Entertainment category of this week. 

According to the information shared by its Youtube account, for now, the most number of users (audiences) recorded watching comes from domestically (Korea), but despite so, it still attracts much attention from users all over the world. Right after Korean audiences came Singapore and Hongkong, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, Japan etc, following one after another, which just proves the high popularity in different regions of Asia. Not just that, in places like Egypt, Mauritius, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and the various central regions of these countries also showed the presence of audiences, which just goes to reaffirm the importance of such a global platform like Youtube. Also, number of comments left on the Youtube channel of this special edition have reached about 20K which are left in various languages like English, Mandarin, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Spanish, French etc etc.

In addition, it has also been revealed that people ranging from 13 years of age to 65 years of age are tuning in to this, and in particular, the most number of audiences come from people aged 13-17, after which, 45-54 years of age - whose popularity amongst such a wide age range could be reiterated. As for the gender differences, a landsliding 91% of audiences come from females.

The special Youtube edition could receive this much of popularity is also due to great help coming from the translation of subtitles in many diverse languages. The Youtube edition channel contacted "Viikii.net" to provide different subtitling service of each individual's preferred language; of course to which such a caring service could thus continuously attract the support of fans. Choices for the subtitles come in a wide variety like Korean, English, Mandarin, Japanese, Spanish etc.

CEO of Group Eight Song Byung-jun has revealed, "For the fact that our special edition are also watched in very unfamiliar countries to us like Africa, middle-east and in Europe continents, we could thus assert that our domestic video contents have maximized its stand in overseas", "The reason why our Youtube special edition could achieve such soaring popularity is due to the high amount of worldwide interest for our actual TV version of [Playful Kiss] which has already been pre-sold to 11 foreign countries, that is why it has introduced this big and positive influence over our Youtube edition".

"This has been a wonderful opportunity where a single platform has been fully utilized across 24 countries in the world", "The success of this special edition has marked itself into the first ever meaningful step we have taken into attempts at introducing our Republic Korea's outstanding video contents to the world through Youtube. It'll be really lovely if future producers would create more opportunities to make positive usage of Youtube channels", as was also revealed by Lee Won-jin - the managing director of Google Asia and CEO of Google Korea.

[News] Kim Hyun Joong states SS501 will not be disbanding

Ok..I deleted my previous post because there was some doubt as to the news is real or not. Turns out, it is real? Coz the photo is new...So yeah...Im posting it again..


---

SS501’s leader Kim Hyun Joong strongly affirmed that that SS501 will not be disbanding.

In a recent interview, he stated, “With our members branching out into different companies, many wonder whether SS501 is disbanding or not. We were only able to move companies because we had confirmed with one another that we would continue to work as a group under the name of SS501.”

He continued, “During that time when our contracts expired, there was no company that would take in all five of us.”
Regarding SS501’s future activities, he answered, “For now, we’ll do solo albums for a bit. We’re planning to get together for a performance. Due to our companies being different, it’s difficult to get our schedules coordinated, but it will get done.”
Kim Hyun Joong concluded the interview by expressing his friendship with the other members. “I get in contact with the members every single day. Hyung Joon once said that I ignored one of his text messages at the press conference for his musical, but that’s not what happened. I was in China for the ‘Guangzhou Asian Games‘. I called him right away after the event.”

The "MINJOONG" (or HYUNMIN..) ANALYSIS Part 2(Added Analyses)

Some parts were cut on the previous post that was posted by Zephyr so I am adding it here now..


----


They are holding hands They are holding hands

Both of them looked into each other's eyes and smiled extremely sweetlyXDDDD

Holding hands again~I do not need to explain this either

Then, KHJ said: If a married life was to be like this, I rather not get married. Just what are you hintingXDDDDDDDD

I always thought that the two of them were very ecstatic during the shooting of this scene~ I totally couldn't see their lethargy from the intense shooting of Playful KissXDDDDDD

Afterwards it was the rehearsal of the bed scene. Do guys need to put girls in between their legs before lifting them up?XDDDDD

Even when KHJ wanted to read the script, he directly reached out for the script with his hand across JSM

In the end, they were still unable to decide on their positions/actions during the hug. Anyway, I think that KHJ did not have to carry JSM for real during the rehearsal of this sceneXDDDDD

I realised and discovered that KHJ's hand had been on JSM's back throughoutXDDDDD

The two kept discussing about the actions and conversations needed before KHJ could lift JSM up. Anyway, their tone was a total change here!!!!

Finally settled~KHJ pretended to be very tired

After that, they looked at each other and smiled~

The rehearsal of this scene was the most spazz-worthy, but was there really a need to rehearse so much?
The scene shown on TV is below: 

The PD shot this scene like this!!!! From far~ Thus any conversations or actions could not be seen by the audience, we could only see their backs~ So could the two please not flirt under the pretense of rehearsing for the showXDDDDD

Hands touching again~~~KHJ’s hand movements speak a lot for themselves~ Ever since JSM had gotten up from the bed, KHJ’s hand had not left JSM’s hand at all

The two laughed at Eunjo at the same timeXDDDDD Furthermore, they looked at each otherXDDDD

JSM smiled as if she was willing to follow KHJ to the ends of the worldXDDDDDDD Just that they probably would meet each other again during the FM in a few hours’ time.

I took 100+ screenshots, in the end I actually used 60+ of them~

This is not the end of my analysis~ I’m still anticipating the, hopefully, spazz-worthy BTS videos that would be posted on Youtube soonXDDDDD


To be continued…

From translation of 1st Analysis! (P.s. thanks for informing me that this part was being cut:D)

2010.08.15

After KHJ painstakingly finished his lengthy lines, JSM NG-edXDDDDDDDD
KHJ: It’s okay (He did not even look at JSMXDDDDDStarting to be able to make fun of her) 

One of the crewmembers swatted a fly which the two seemed to be afraid of (!)
KHJ: Sigh~ Isn’t this bug here to seek deathXDDDD
JSM looked at him shockingly, but also felt that what he said was very funny

2010.08.24

This is my first time seeing JSM initiating a conversation with KHJ. 
JSM: ashi, your tone sounds as if you’re scolding somebody
KHJ: Really? (laughs) JSM then started talking to someone else and did not hear KHJ correcting his intonation with much seriousnessXDD But actually the PD had no opinion about his tone at all, KHJ is so obedientXDDDD
