Global Victim

In some parts of the world, people are 

suffering from freezing cold weather

while their counterparts are suffering

 from blazing hot weather.

One thing for sure, we contribute 

towards the global warming effect, 

we have to face its consequences, 

and suffer together.

And only us can make a difference!

Healer Syndrome

I have been watching dramas since I was in around 6-7 years old, and now I'm in my late 20's

Of course,  I have been suffering from severe drama obsessions and it usually ends with terrible drama withdrawal syndrome. (well, unless I'm addicted to more than one dramas at the time)

After 20++ years of waiting, finally I succumbed to my syndrome.

It is none other than a korean drama 'Healer'

First, we will start off with an absurd fact.

Basically I wouldnt wanna waste my time addicted to dramas with low rating, but I'm glad I gave Healer an exception.

1. LOW DRAMA RATING

Credit: Wikipedia

Despite that, this drama received explosive popularity online 

(*in Korea & internationally.)

What more could we ever ask for???

Back to the topic...

Healer Syndrome

These are the symptoms of Healer's syndrome I'm enduring...

1. Reading Dramabeans synopsis is a weekly routine

 Website: http://www.dramabeans.com/2014/12/healer-episode-1/

2. Check Soompi Healer - for daily healing dose

3.  Check Soompi ChangMin Couple - for delusional dose

4. Filling gadgets memory with photos and videos

5. [EXTRA] Participating in Healer International Fan Project

For the first time in life, I want to convey my heartiest gratitude and support to all the awesome casts, staffs, and writer (Song Ji Na). I want to let them know badly that low viewership rating doesnt mean that this drama is a trash, nobody wants to watch it, and it goes unnoticed. There are lots of international fans whom supports this drama, but korean viewership rating doesnt include international fan's viewership. The only way is by participating in International Fan Project to let our presence known.

6. [EXTRA] Sign Up Soompi & Creating MEME

Usually, it takes around 2-3 weeks to overcome drama withdrawal syndrome

But after a few weeks

When did it become fate for me?

너를 사랑하기 전으로 돌아갈 수도 없을만큼

I can’t even go back to the times before I loved you

너에게로 난 빠져 들어가

That’s how much I’m falling into you

Baby Steps

Have you forgotten the first baby step 

you ever took?

Yes, you are struggling to stand on your feet,

 fell down countless times, stood up, and tried again...again and again till you can 

finally walked on your own...

Now, have you ever wondered why?

Well, your subconscious told you that if you do,

you can reach out to many things, going places according to your own whim and fancies.

A few years down the road, you will experience 

countless of first time...it always start off with baby steps. As long as you never give up trying, doors of opportunities will always open up and reach out for you to discover.

7 Steps on How to Invest (*in Stocks & Marriage)

"Marriage is a 
life-changing investment"

Before you start investing, you survey on choices in the market, and make your choice.

1. Interest?

Do you have particular interest in the company? If you sincerely do, you will check on its background and future potentials. Is it worth investing on it?

2. Net Worth

Just like stock market, it starts off at low market value. The main concern is that will the value increase in future? - In marriage life, most people wouldn't mind enduring a poor life together, but what if there is no slight improvement in your quality of life, and worst still, there is sign of deterioration?
In stock market, investors would definitely sells of their stocks to avoid further loss.

3. Future Plans?
You know you have made a good investment when you can see a potential growth in the company based on your research, and not public speculations.
Before you ever say 'I Do!', ask yourself, do your husband-to-be by all means have any solid plans to improve on the quality of life in near future?

4. Liability
In terms of stock investment, before you invest your money on it, you must do some research on the company's financial liability (* a contractual obligation to deliver cash or similar to another entity or a potentially unfavorable exchange of financial assets or liabilities with another entity). Similarly, before you commit to the marriage, make sure your partner does not tied down with lots of heavy financial responsibilities (e.g. loans, debts...). Are you ready to share your precious saving?

5. Affliates
In the stock market world, when you look at the affiliates of the company you are interested to invest in, you will more or less will know what type of business the company is all about and its future path direction.
Similarly, if you are know well who your partner affiliates with (*associates), you will more or less know the what the person will be five years from now (Cr: Life Lesson from The Monk who sold his Ferari)

6. Join Venture
Upon marriage, you are expected to share the financial responsibilities with your partner. But the BIG QUESTION is, by being a merger, will it exhaust your initial saving or will both of you gains benefits from it?

7. Competitors

In stock market, it is important to check on its competitors in the same industry. The more competitors, the less profit a company will reap. That is why a monopolized company able to earns a big profit while others struggles and compete against each other to survive.

Before you commit in a relationship, it is important that you are aware whether you are a CHOICE or OPTION? if you are a CHOICE, you will gain all his love and attention, but if you are just an OPTION, it is either you BUCK UP or SHIP OUT. 

Life Journey

Journey of life is like the interaction 

between paper and pen

It doesnt matter if the past is stained, 

the future will always be like a blank paper,

ready to be filled with content.

What is more important is you

 focus on the present.

JYJ - The Legendary Survivors (Part 2)

After the lawsuit was filed, by all means,

SM Entertainment and KFPCAI was caught red handed in prohibiting JYJ's activities
** The KFPCAI and SM collaborated in November 2010, and send documents requesting that JYJ be prohibited from appearing on public broadcast and engaging in music distribution. Including the music distribution and company Warner Music Korea, the documents were sent to 9 broadcast stations, 11 music distributions, and 5 online music services companies, making that 26 companies in total.

shared by JYJ3.net

Among the 'famous' incidents happened:
1. Yoochun appearance was blocked in MBC Come-to-Play

2. JYJ was chosen as KBS 'New Seven Wonder' honorary ambassador but the trio's slot on the show was cancelled for indefinite reasons. They even refused to allow JYJ to perform during the opening and closing ceremonies.

Eventually JYJ continue to promote Jeju Island as one of the New Seven Wonders on their own SNS.

3. JYJ's Junsu Gets Bamboozled by SBS
JYJ‘s Junsu was scheduled to perform at the 32nd National PARA Games Opening Ceremony, which was broadcasted by SBS on October 8, 2014. 
They printed his name on the tickets and promoted that he would be promoting in the event. They even introduced Junsu performance as the last act of the night BUT...
When the moment Junsu appeared on stage, the camera stopped rolling, and SBS call it a day. Despite that, Junsu gave his best performance without any proper lighting, and put on a big smile in his face.

There are sooooooo many of such incidents happened since their debut JYJ, but most importantly,

JYJ NEVER GIVE UP, and persevered till the end...

Despite being unable to carry out promotional activities, and 'banned' from variety shows & TV programme, others might have given up and move on...
but NOT JYJ, instead

• They fully utilize the usage of SNS, as a promotional tools
• Participate in dramas, musical and other opportunities to make some 'uninterupted' public appearance.
• They chose to start off humbly, as a new group using their initial, (J)aejoong (Y)oochun & (J)unsu rather than making used of their established status as the legendary ex-DBSK member.

The OUTCOME: 

1. Junsu is recognized as the best musical actor

JYJ - The Legendary Survivors (Part 1)

We wills start off  with DBSK 13 years contract.

As we know, DBSK originally consists of:

Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun, Kim Junsu, Shim Changmin & Jung Yunho

The 5 of them debuted under SM in 2009, and soon rose to stardom and became a legendary boyband in the Kpop industry.

Despite at the peak of popularity, JYJ risked their career and filed a lawsuit against SM. 

Here is the ugly truth behind their success.

THE SLAVE CONTRACT:

1. SM took all the earnings from all DBSK activities.

2. The copyright of the member's self-composed songs is registered under SM. - no matter what, the members cant perform those songs without SM permission

3. If the contract is terminated by all means, DBSK will have to pay triple fold of the promoted fees, and twice amount of the estimated profit to SM.

4. From the income given to DBSK, they have to cover the expenses incurred for overseas promotions, stylists, dancers, and all the staffs.

5. Their album sales must exceed 500,000 copies, or else they will receive 0 income.

6. The members are required to participate in activities despite:

Being injured

• Sick

Throughout those years, Cassiopeias had been deceived that the members were living a good life, as they never fail to keep their fatigue, and suffering to themselves, and pun on a 'healthy-looking' image

 

In life there is always a limit....

Eventually Jaejoong, Yoochun & Junsu thinks that something was not right, thus a lawsuit was filed to claim their rights...
