btw, i have some shocking kpop news, as usual. i think fangirls never fail to make me amazed. :D
A Chinese media site previously reported that Hankyung had problems with SNSD, but now another Chinese media site has caught on and defamed the article as the work of antis.
According to the new post, it looks like it was all a classic play of out of context quotes.
The original article pointed out a lot of situations that had arisen between SNSD and Hankyung, but every one of those situations was refuted and disproved.
----------------------------
The previous article was just the work of antis trying to frame SNSD. The original article was posted on a Chinese fan site and a shady media source published it.
Original article:
Back when Super Junior debuted, they had an interview with a Korean media source. When they were interviewed, Hankyun was asked, "Have you met any problems while working in Korea?"
Hankyung responded positively, but Heechul added, "There was one time when we were in the dressing room and SNSD came in and seeing Hankyung's yellow hair, Taeyeon shouted, "Oppa what did you do? Do you think that you look Korean with yellow hair?"
New Source:
The truth is that Hankyung had yellow hair in 2006 while SNSD debuted in 2007 (when Hankyung had white hair). Because SNSD hadn't even been active while Hankyung had yellow hair, how would they be using the same dressing room?
Original Article:
On a variety show, Hankyung was introduced as a multi-talented artist and he showcased a Chinese folk dance.
Taeyeon said, "Oh is Chinese folk dance this simple?" While Jessica added, "Even kids can do a dance like that!"
All 9 girls started laughing.
New Source:
Hankyung has only performed a Chinese folk dance 3 times in Korea, and 2 of those times were before SNSD debuted! The third time he performed, the only female music guest was Lee Sooyoung (not SNSD's Choi Sooyoung)
Original Article:
During an SM Town interview, the interviewer asked Hankyung if he was teaching people how to speak Chinese when SNSD said in a mocking tone, "We're teaching him Korean instead."
SNSD was rude and used a disrespectful tone throughout the interview.
New Source:
There was no SM Town interview with the two together. What the quotes were taken from was a SNSD exclusive interview by TOM娱乐.
The interview went like this:
Interviewer: "I've heard that you've been learning Chinese from Hankyun. Has he been helping you?"
Tiffany: "We don't get to meet him very often and when we do we exchange greetings. We ask members he's close to about his recent activities."
Hyoyeon: "We're promoting in Korea so shouldn't we be teaching him Korean?"
All this was said in a polite and respectful tone.
Original Article:
YoonA said to Hankyung when they first met, "Why are you Chinese flocking to Korea? You're in SM because you have looks right? I really don't understand. I thought China had a huge market."
Heechul stated in a Japanese interview that he was dissappointed in YoonA's words.
New Source:
There has been no such incident. This is purely fiction created by antis.

----------------------------
Another rumor debunked. It's a good thing that all these false rumors were cleared up quickly and effectively. SM doesn't need anymore drama, don't you agree?
Many thanks to chu_o0o_pa_o0o_chup for the translation!

yes. i think all anti-snsd people will be dissapointed. it turns out that it's not snsd's fault that hankyung MAY be leaving. oh well, let' just see how things go, okay? (:
TVXQ/DBSK supporters in the motherland and overseas have been riveted by the SME lawsuit for the past few months, and it looks like a certain group of international fans is really stepping up its game.
Five Balloons, a group of Japanese TVXQ supporters, recently created the TVXQ Smile Project, in which members donated money to put an advertisement in a daily Korean newspaper. Its monetary goal for Christmas? A whopping five million yen, which is approximately 64,400,000 won, $54,700 USD, or the price of a pretty nice sports car. I never realized how astronomically high newspaper ad rates were... and why these fans would devote so much money to a boy group instead of a charity or something is beyond me, but that's besides the point.
The ad is expected to include the words 'TVXQ Smile Project,' a message about TVXQ's entity as a group only complete with five members, and a promise to forever love TVXQ and wait for them to sincerely smile.
As of yesterday, over four hundred participants collectively donated 1,764,000 yen (approx 22,700,000 won or $19,400 USD). Since this doesn't meet the initial December 25 goal, the members plan to extend the period of donation collection and purchase the ad in mid-January.
2009 is widely known as the Year of the Girl Groups, but it might as well be called the Year of the Fans instead. From forming petitions to changing drama plots, from kicking an idol out of the country to a creating a global movement to bring the same person back, it's become clear that fan support has definitely evolved and rocked the kpop world in many ways.
Thanks to mir for the tip!

woohoo. having the biggest fanclub in the world isn't just for show. always keep the faith baby! :D
I guess Japanese TVXQ fans aren't the only ones striving to put their feelings in print on Korean papers - Baidu BAR, a TVXQ fan group on Baidu, purchased an advertisement that was printed on Gyunghyang, a daily Korean newspaper on December 26, TVXQ's sixth anniversary.
On the advertisement, the members of Baidu BAR left a message to SM Entertainment expressing their full support for TVXQ and request for SME to stop its alleged harassment of the five members:
You are trying to cut the dreams that [TVXQ] has been creating for the past six years,
and are hurting the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people who felt joy because of them.
Stop your actions that are hurting the five members.
Let them sing freely without any constraints.
The storm will wither soon.
We will protect them forever so that they are not harmed.
We will forever wait.
We are always standing by TVXQ
- China's TVXQ Baidu BAR -
Baidu BAR was also helped by Korean fans, who distributed this advertisement to various media and press outlets. "Because this is TVXQ's sixth anniversary, Chinese Casseiopeians wanted to deliver an advertisement that expresses our current feelings across the sea," one of the participants explained, adding, "Right now, SM Entertainment is constantly hurting TVXQ. However, all of the TVXQ fans will unite to form a solid knot in order to help TVXQ keep their dreams."
In the advocates' press release, the fans stated, "We will wait until the day that TVXQ can sing without burden when the rain stops and the sky is clear ... Until [SM Entertainment] stops harassing TVXQ, we are committed to protect them."
On a brighter note, TVXQ appeared as five on Asahi TV's Music Station Super Live on Christmas day and is scheduled to attend the Japan Record Awards on the 30th and NHK's Kohaku Uta Gassen on the 31st.
Despite the lawsuit controversy that has been going on for half a year now, we would like to wish TVXQ a happy sixth anniversary and hope 2010 brings an optimistic resolution to these issues. Stay tuned to allkpop for more and remember to visit the OneTVXQ Forums.
