(Article) Bae Yong Joon went to Pusan overnight to grieve over his fan’s death.

(Article) Grunet: BYJ’s love for his fan.

A star does not exist without his or her fan.
A star sends his or her appreciation to a mass of fans all at once whereas fans express their love only for a single star. It’s impossible for a star to recognize each and every member of his fans. However, if there is a star who tries to get to know an individual fan, he would be a true star.

Currently, Bae Yong Joon’s homepage is filled with writings regarding ‘Kim Jeong Won(39),’ one of his fans. All of them were writings grieving over her death. As one of the avid, long time fans of BYJ, Kim Jeong Won died of cancer at the Dong-Ah University hospital in Pusan on the 7th.

Among countless fans of stars, there must be many who pass away. But the reason why Kim’s death got so much attention from BYJ fans is because of BYJ’s reaction to her death.

BYJ went to the hospital on the 8th around 6am, and grieved over her death staying about 3 hours straight. He sent his heartfelt condolence to her husband, and her 10years-old son and 8years-old daughter.

A writing by nickname “ajumma sukmo” posted on BYJ’s home page shows how deep and sincere BYJ’s love for his fans.

“I now understand why he is so much beloved by so many people like this, and why so many people get addicted to his official home page. In order to console her kids, he talked to them about kids’ favorite computer games, and asked them what kind of game they liked. When they said they liked “star craft,” he said with this big smile on his face “I, too, like it a lot.” When I saw his pure and beautiful smile, I realized the reason why he was so beloved by so many people. Pusan is kind of far away from Seoul, and she wasn’t even someone close to him personally. We knew how busy he was, and how difficult it was for him…..so, we didn’t expect him at all. Nevertheless, he came all the way down here overnight just because she was one of his fans. His visit was such a big consolation to my nephew and my entire family. I would like to send my heartfelt appreciation to him. Even at this moment when I am writing this, I remember my nephew’s wife’s happy smiling face more than her painful facial expression during her fight against cancer. I think this is because she finally went to the heaven in happiness because of his visit. Once again, I am sending my sincere appreciation to him.”

Since this news was released, his fans have been praising him for his act while wishing heavenly bliss for Kim, once their family member who admires the same star as they do.
One netizen(internet user) praised him for his unusual love for his fans saying that “Bae Yong Joon doesn’t consider his fan as a mere person who admires him. He is a kind of person who sympathizes, and shares the same feelings with his fans whether they are in pain or happiness."

I am a big fan of BYJ too. He is such a great human being. So, please don’t hate him…
I also know of the fan called Kim Jeong Won. She once gave him her knitted hat as a present, and also came to his fan signing event even when she was that sick…. Yong Joon also remembered her at that time. Some of his fans posted a message to him wishing his visit of condolence, but no one really expected him to do so. He is such a big star, and Pusan is really far away from Seoul. I thought “how could he ever go?”…… I heard he came with a big flower wearing a black suit, and consoled her family. He came at dawn….and stayed for 3 hours…..

With such an excited voice, one of the nurses at the hospital called one of the fans on KOB to let her know of his visit. So, we all got to know about this. Once again, I would like to send my appreciation to him. Thank you very much. And this news ended up being released to his fans, but I know that Yong Joon wants to keep this very private as he always does. But on my part as his fan, I can’t help myself wanting to talk about this.

you should watch "Winter Sonata" you will fall in love with him deeply ^_^

BTW, here is his interview from Japanese Magazine called" 周刊现代. Here is the translation:

BYJ's interview

Source: byjfan and Soompi
Japanese to Korean:kaorin
Korean to Chinese:choguan
Chinese to English: lynn

Reporter: You've said that you plan to get married within 3 years. May I know what makes you say that?

BYJ: (Laugh) Yes, I did say that, because my parents said:" Get yourself a wife!" and I replied to them that I will get married within 3 years, that's the whole story. Actually I don't have a girlfriend yet, and at this moment I don't have any definite girl for marriage.

Reporter: You are a famous actor as well as an entrepreneur. You have a lot of investments in both stock market and restaurants. If in the future, you are no longer an actor, will you turn yourself to be a complete entrepreneur?

BYJ: I have no idea about what will happen in the future. The only thing I care is that I should spend everyday meaningfully. I don't even know what will happen tomorrow. I am an actor, although I have some restaurants and companies under my name, I am not the person who is in charge of running those business. When I was a little kid, I think the most delicious things in the world is the dishes made by my mother which are tranditional and simple Korean food. When I built my body (lynn: I guess when he was in the project of Image Volumn 1), I started to have strong interest in the catering culture. I hope to taste the Korean Cuisine made by organic ingredients and because of that I have opened the restaurant in Tokyo.

Reporter: There has been some crisis of confidence in Korea's political forum recently. As an actor who was in the role of a famous hierarch, have you ever considered to advance to the politial forum to break out some crisis for your country?

BYJ: Have I considered to be a stateman?? (laugh) It's too far-fetched. Although I was in a role of a hierarch, I've not been reveled in power. What I've got from that role is as a human being, we should live responsibly. Cuz the hierarch is also a human being, he should show his love and concern about his people.


Reporter: How about you becoming the Korean ambassador in Japan? If you took this role, the relation between Korea and Japan will be much improved.

BYJ: It will be an honor for everyone to take that role, but as to me, I don't think I will fit into that role. I'd rather communicate with my Japanese family through my work.

Reporter: You are the NO.1 Star in Asia now, do you have any ambition to advance to the international market like Hollywood?

BYJ: I feel very satisfied with my achievments in Asia and I am happy to be called 'Asia's BYJ". All my families from Asia regardless of boundries show their love to me and I will keep going on and working hard for my fans in return of their love.

Reporter: As the " Asia's BYJ", what's your concern about Asia now?

BYJ: My main cocern is the environmental problem. Whenever I see the news regarding the distruction of environment, I will consider what we can do to prevent it. I think, the most important segment to solve this problem is to educate all the Children. We should show to them the importance to protect our environment and let them have the sense of responsibility, then the whole situation will change.

Reporter: The way of your answering questions is quite diplomatical. How do you relieve the stress?

BYJ: I'd like to have some drink, wine or.......samshu, like this bottle I bring today with me (pointing to a bottle beside him on the desk) haha, I am kidding, it's just a mineral water I brought from Korea. Maybe we can have it together....(laugh).

The content may not be so accurate cuz it goes through several versions （Japanese - Korean -Chinese - English), so please read it with a pinch of salt.

This interview is so interesting. Yon-sama is so cute ^^. Huhm.. who is going to be his wife .. I wonder? SHe is so damn lucky . (After The Legend and 4 gods... I hope he and Lee ji ah will become a couple ="= How silly I am ! Actually, I hope his new flim "Drop of God" will begin soon. I can't wait ^^

not bad la.. he is quite very hot..

I am a big fan too...
