Hi there! The article I'm re posting here is a good way of understanding how BYJ is seen by many. It also explains briefly how he's perceived by two nations and how this perception made him who he is today-one of the most influential man in Asia. Many thanks to cloud nine for the translation.

Different Eyes to Look at Yon-sama
Bae Yong Joon, who has captured Japanese women’s hearts at a single stroke
with his drama “Winter Sonata”, is still active extensively.
“Winter Sonata” has now been made into an animation
and his essay “A travel following the beauty of Korea”
was published in September in both Korea and Japan.
As he contributed to the wide introduction of Korea to Japan,
there are many Koreans who think of him as a private ambassador.
Hello!
More BYJ photos from Style..The winter pallete of AB is simply mesmerizing. It's bright and casual for men who are always on the go. Cold evenings are spent chilling out by the fireplace and getting warm up with the finest wines. Country living in style.

Copy of Narration for the 'Seal the Deal Campaign'
No matter where you are living, warning message sent from the Earth is clear. Due to climatic change that becomes serious every day, we will carry burden on our back that we are not able to cope with.As glaciers melt in both Poles and sea level rises with rising temperature on Earth, several million people are in danger.
Scientists give warnings.If the Earth temperature rises by only 2 degree, there occurs grand extinction of living things on the Earth.By year 2025, two-thirds of human race will live in areas where water is in short supply, and mandatory displacement of millions of climatic refugees will become a reality.We might have to inherit diseases, drought, and starvation to the next generation.The climatic change is the reality. It is progressing in this very moment.
The greenhouse gas that we emit have reached its peak at this time.Mr. BahnKimoon, the Secretary General at UN, determined the climatic change as the top priority task for human race in 21st Century.And, in December 2009, in Copenhagen, Denmark, there holds a general assembly of the concerned countries for the Climatic Change Agreement which will decide on the Earth's future.There, leaders of various nations will discuss a new, long-term and effective climatic changes.
The 'Seal the Deal' Campaign, which is to close the Climatic Change Agreement in Copenhagen, is waiting for signatures from every one in Global Village who desires the conclusion of the Agreement.From Africa,,,Europe,,,and to Asia, the 'Seal the deal' Campaign is collecting the wills of all Global Village people.Not only the experts but also the people in the entire world are aware of the necessity of the Climatic Change Agreement for the only one Earth.
The new Agreement will lead the green growth and sustainable low carbon economy.The 'Seal the Deal' Campaign, to be accomplished by our signatures, are moving the policy makers, urging NGO Media, businesses, and general public in entire world to participate in the signature, and informing the importance of the climatic changes and the meeting in Copenhagen.
The success of the Copenhagen meeting depends on the following 4 agenda...First, the developed countries will positively agree on the reduction goal of the greenhouse gases,secondly, the developing countries will practice the plans to reduce the greenhouse gases,thirdly, a fund is raised for the poor countries, victims of the climatic changes, to confront the climatic changes,and the lastly, there is a guarantee that this fund can be used fairly and effectively.
Then, what are the things that we can do.Please connect to homepage of the 'Seal the Deal' now and participate in the campaign...And then, place you signature..Our signatures will determine the history of mankind..We can make changes...Are we going to tell our children that we did nothing at the moment when we had hope?..
'Seal the Deal'.. Your signatures will save the Earth..
This is actually alarming as here in the UK we too have our own share of disasters.. Recently is the flooding in Cumbria which apparently hasn't happened in a hundred years. Certainly the world is changing and we have to do something about it not just for us but for generations to come. I couldn't imagine living other than this Earth. It's such a beautiful place. It would be a shame if we destroy it. Have a think about it.
Please support Seal the Deal. Thanks Xiaoyi for the video.
Hi there! I hope you had a nice weekend. There was a down time on my part and a sudden rush of adrenaline when I found out about BYJ participating in the UN climate change initiative. I hope you too have done your share in saving planet Earth. While looking for more news about BYJ and more videos I stumbled on this set of mv's shared by Mayuka in YT. You must have seen it before several times but it's my first time to really take a closer look. These are some of the clips during the Tokyo Dome rehearsal last September and I must say BYJ had shown such high level of professionalism for his part.
Looking at this last video I can't help but notice the missing piece of the puzzle.. I would truly be happy for him when he'd find that woman he could stand in the crowd with. It would be simply perfect.
The hottest news in Baeland I believe is BYJ's participation in the Seal the Deal campaign for climate change. If you want to know about it and would like to sign the petition just click here. Below is a brief report posted by Joanne in Quilt. Have a productive day ahead.

'Missionary for Environment' BYJ, to deliver message at the UN Climate Meeting [JES]11/20/09
BYJ will appeal the seriousness of climatic change to human race all over the world at UN using with his voice.
BYJ participated in a narration work in a public service video for 'Seal the Deal' Campaign, led by Bahn Kimoon, UN Secretary General. The 'Seal the Deal' is a global petition movement the UNEP (UN Environmental Plan) promotes. They are getting signatures from general citizens in the whole worldt to urge necessity of Climatic Agreement through its Seal the Deal homepage (www.sealthedeal2009.org).
The Seal the Deal public service video, where BYJ participated in, will be introduced while entire world is watching at the 15th general convention of the concerned countries for UN Climatic Change Agreement, held in Copenhagen, Denmark from coming December 7 to 18. After that, it will be followed by movements in each country to urge Climatic Change Agreement, and it is planned to be used in a movement for Environmental Protection of the Earth in association with portal sites in Korea.
BYJ, having been interested in the environmental protection in ordinary times. delightfully accepted the proposal to participate in public service video from UN. He finished the narration work on 11 in recovering status after he suffered from the sepsis. In a 4 minutes 35 second long video, he appealed with powerful voice the necessity of Climatic Agreement. The format is to narrate in Korean with subtitling in English.
UN Climatic Change Agreement in this time is in preparation for the Climatic Agreement which will go into effect from 2012. The main point is making decision on reponsibilities and standards for developed coutries and developing countries to undertake, respectively, to reduce amount of green-house gas emission. Naturally, it will become a focus by press in entire world, and BYJ's voice will be introduced to the world.
On the other hand, BYJ also shot a CF to promote 'Visit Korea Years' recently. As the Promotional Ambassador for 2010~2012 'Visit Korea Years', he participated in the filming to inform sentiment of Korea going around places in Cholla Province. This promotional video is planned to be introduced to overseas tourists including Japan, etc, in short while.

Hello! So the waiting was over. I finally saw the film New Moon. I was praying there would be available tickets hence Alex and I went to watch the first screen show of the day. When we got to the cinema there were already 20 people in the queue. Not bad at all. As we got into our seats the room just got filled bit by bit. I was munching as much popcorn as I can perhaps due to being nervous and just anxious waiting. Anyway after half an hour of ads and presentations the film went on alright.
For me who read the books more than once it's a bizarre experience. I sat there anticipating every scene and obviously knew what would come next. Thanks to spoilers they have removed the element of surprise for me although I was nearly in tears on some parts. Perhaps I could relate there in some aspect but that's another story. I told myself I won't be watching spoilers with Eclipse.
Overall the film was really good. The werewolves obviously gave it a new depth which I think would appeal to many male viewers. Edward looked more matured in this one. I don't know if the trick there was to give more emphasis on him being the vampire and shift the attention to Jacob making the latter more appealing. In which case the message was quite clear after hearing some ladies reacting while watching him. The effects were pretty cool and as for the fight scenes they were relatively realistic and well choreographed.
New Moon is much different from Twilight. It plays on pain, abandonment, friendship, solitude but absolution in the end. True human sufferings- spices to most happy endings. Can't wait for Eclipse.
When I saw BYJ with the dogs it reminded me so much of the film.. well the wolf is out of the big bag now. Have a magical weekend.
Hello everyone!! It has been a strange couple of days for me. I just got things sorted for my studies then I eventually decided I will host a party for my big day next month. I am so excited about it that I had to make the invites according to the theme, plan the bits and pieces like props etc. and well Christmas is just around the corner so have to think about shopping and gifts as well. Enough of myself and being sidetracked.. I have been waiting patiently for some kind Baesis to share more photos of the AB Winter Collection and my wish has been granted.. we were given the chance to see more of BYjssi photos and truly love them all. I'm sure you do as well. Many thanks to Style and Vento for sharing them.
