Let me tell you a secret. YOU FIND GREAT MAGS WHEN YOU DO GOOD DEEDS! :D Like taking your grandma for a haircut, for example (: And by great mags, I mean mags with Se7en, Kat-tun, NewS, and... DBSK in them. So take your grandma for a haircut RIGHT NOWW. XD
Okay, here are the DBSK scans. I only scanned in the special DBSK feature booklet so far, so the solo features scattered across the mag aren't included. Heads up! (Trans included for benefit of
wanderingreen XD;;)
The coverpage for the feature booklet; in clock-wise direction translation as follows:
Pic#1: We're finally releasing our album! *hwaiting poses* :3
Pic#2: Micky's crying! -_- (Sorry, I can't translate the Korean words on the pic itself.)
Pic#3: A night where many secrets have been revealed! (Oh my, changmin.)
Pic#4: "Beanpaste bun" (Omg, they call Yunho "beanpaste bun"?!) is bullying JaeJae!!
Pic#5: Aren't we kawaii? ♥
Hero Jaejoong: To project a new image, we have put a lot of effort into our new album - from the songs to the MVs. The style of our music has changed as well; we hope to satisfy fans of all ages.
Xiah Junsu: Our album/single "Jung Ban Hup" will give everyone a refreshing new feel, with mature music and unique stage performances!
Max Changmin: I hurt my leg during our concert in Thailand, so a lot of our fans have been worrying. But now I've already recovered; I can dance onstage for all our upcoming performances. (YAY! :3)
Micky Yoochun: In the past, during the publicity period we would concentrate more on the music portion, but this time we hope to be on more variety programmes, to compensate our long absence from the country (Korea) which is sorely regretted.
Uknow Yunho: We will work hard on being ourselves to the best of our ability, to show everyone a more mature side of Dong Bang Shin Ki!
(Left to Right):
Pic#1: The room is packed full with reporters from all over the world!
Pics #2: Hero Jaejoong: "Let me model the best styles of Fall 2006 for you!"
Pics#4: Even though Yunho is so cool when he's dancing, and Jaejoong is so aloof with he's singing intently, but when they both laugh, you can actually bring yourself to believe that they're really very KAWAII~ just like any other 21-year-old guy. (Really. I think it's just them XD)
Live Interview with AZA:
Topic #1: "The real me that even my loved ones don't know about"
Yunho SHARE: "Actually my chest is different from other guys. Since I was an athlete in the past, I was in the habit of working out, but after not exercising for a while the muscle turned into flab, and soon I discovered that my chest was actually really big... (Yunho laughs awkwardly here) When I lose weight other places slim down, but the chest just won't go. But when I put on weight, my chest grows faster than other part of my body! (At this point Yoochun butts in, saying that Yunho was once so worried that he wanted to go for injection/surgery!)
Changmin SHARE: "Besides 0.1% of men who are 'special', the 99.9% who are normal all watch porn. (The host asks which type Changmin is.) Fortunately, I'm the same as most of the men on Earth. (The audience goes into an uproar, and unfortunately Changmin's mother is in the audience. But the host refuses to let Changmin off, and insists that he go into a detailed analysis of how he feels when he watches porn; the audience cracks up!!) XD
Yoochun SHARE: "I once called another girl behind my girlfriend's back! (Oh, so he was cheating~) But later on, after my girlfriend found out, I felt guilty so I stopped contacting both of them."
Topic #2: "About my family"
Yunho SHARE: "Actually my family is quite well-off, but we went bankrupt in '97 when there was an economic crisis. Back then the situation at home wasn't very good, and my sister didn't even have the money to go for her graduation holiday. But I didn't want my sister to be disappointed, so I joined the SM dance contest and gave the money I won to my sister as travelling fees. I started working then - I once worked in a restaurant, and as a snow-shoveller during winter as well; I also picked up beer bottles to sell... when I was tired I would sleep in the MRT/subway station. I was always trying my best to earn money." (Note: All his fans know that Yunho knows how to save money, he now has 4 bank accounts, looked after by his parents. In the Dong Bang Gol, you can see the containers Yunho uses to keep his saved-up change all over the place, because he knows that every cent is hard-earned money, so he has to save it up properly, this is what Korean fans admire most about him!)
Yoochun SHARE: "When I was in Grade/Primary/Year 6 in primary school, our whole family moved to USA, the dream country of everyone around me, but the memories that the States gave me is of a place that I never want to go back to again in my whole life (voice cracks). In America, my parents often quarrelled and eventually divorced. Because my younger brother wanted to follow our mom, we both went with her. Back then mom used to go out early and come home late every day, going to sleep after eating only a bowl of instant noodles. We saw how difficult it was for her, but we couldn't do anything to help her. One night, mom called my dad, saying, "I can't go on; I've reached my limit." On the third day, dad came to take my brother and me away, and mom didn't appear. At dad's house, I struggled with my emotions, but I finally called my mom, and when she picked up the phone all I heard on the line was the sound of my mom sobbing..." (completely loses control and breaks down crying).
"From then on, I worked extremely hard to earn money, but the person who I feel most apologetic towards now is my brother - Yoowan (did I translate that correctly?). In '04, for the sake of my dream, I came back to Korea to join Dong Bang Shin Ki, leaving my brother alone in America. Last year when we went to LA to perform, my brother stayed with me for a week, and on the last night I discovered him crying, because he couldn't bear the thought of our separation." (Yoochun starts crying uncontrollably here; his fans all know that Yoochun's brother is the most precious to him. The host invites Yoochun to say something to his brother.) "Yoowan ah~ It's your brother here, I'm sorry... for leaving you alone in America. Hyung really can't bear to leave you... I love you.."
Ugh, there's a lot of editor's note after that, mostly about the fans' reactions, so I shan't translate that . Yoochun's story is really too sad )))):
(Left): DBSK started off with "Rising Sun" which all their fans are very, very familiar with, and red balloons descended throughout the whole stadium, matching the red shirts worn by their fans. The audience went high! As-yet-unpublicised photos of DBSK were screened, including shots of them shooting their MV in Prague and extras from their photobook. These were all taken by the members themselves, so they're especially valuable! :3
(Right): Incredible impact and intense emotion can all be seen in their Showcase! Their stage performances are getting increasingly mature, "Jung Ban Hup"'s dance moves have far exceeded those of "Rising Sun"; their magnificence and glamour astounds all!
Top left: "KAWAII~~~" This is the feeling DBSK gives you in the recording studio, the members are just too cute in their hanboks! How can they be this cute!
Middle left: This episode's main focus is to try food from 3 different countries, Yunho is in charge of eating food from Korea! Our Yunho is very elegant when eating; when he uses his chopsticks to pick up food, he always remembers to use one hand to support the other, he's really well-disciplined!
Bottom left: Being able to come on a food variety show, everyone is having a feast!
Top center: It's not that we specially want to point it out... but JaeJae, your movements are just too kawaii!
Bottom center: Even faced with a full table of food, our Jaejoong is still very delicate and well-mannered!
Right: In comparison, Yoochun, your reaction to food is even more violent than "Big Appetite King" Changmin's!
Omg translations are more tedious than I thought. I shall upload the special highlights and the feature on DBSK's Xman 49 appearance later.
Omg Kira, you'd better thank me for those translations. But at least I'm practising Chinese for the O's XD;;;
