Idol group SS501 member Park JungMin answered to the question about his “pink light” (romance/scandal) with a stewardess who is a former bank staff. Park JungMin appeared for MBC Radio Star to be broadcasted on 13-May and addressed to fans’ concern with an open attitude.
Park JungMin revealed that he often goes to the bank, and one pretty bank staff told him that she is his fan and turned her computer monitor to reveal Park JungMin’s wallpaper.
The other guests’ romance story were being pursued on, and under serious pursuing, Park JungMin revealed that the bank he went to is ChungDamDong branch and the lady had resigned from the bank and is currently a stewardess for Korean Air. And it made the others speculate that he is in a ‘pink light’ (romance) mode when he said he still contacts her occasionally. Towards the end of the show, Shin JungHwan asked ‘What is stewardess to Park JungMin?’, he hesitated to this question before replying “I miss her” and surprised the others.
‘Park JungMin’ had been the popular search word over the internet after the broadcast and showed that there are huge interests on this.
I like how JungMin is so truthful and expresses his feelings. He's really blunt at times too and conceited. Lol! But I love him for that. I wish that HJ would be as honest as JungMin is!
SS501 Park JungMin said that he is saving up money since his debut to buy a new house with those money.
Park JungMin said in ‘Radio Star’ section of MBC ‘Golden Fishery’ broadcasted on 06-May “I am happy with a small one. Since my debut, I had been saving up money little by little. I found a house in the Gangnam district and moved in with my family. Even though this is still a leased house, but it’s really quite good.”
In addition, Park JungMin said about being known as ‘King of Financing’, “I’m a little more relieved. I gathered all my ‘seed money’ and invested on China Fund which later went into a slump. Luckily I sold it off before it gets too low so I didn’t lose a lot.”
SS501’s Park JungMin said frankly that he has no regrets over the condom commercial that he did.
Park JungMin appeared for MBC ‘Golden Fishery’ section ‘Radio Star’ on 29-Apr, and expressed the reasons for filming the condom CF when MC Kim GookJin and Yoon JongShin drew out the topic “A difficult and special past when you were still a year 3 middle school student”.
Park JungMin corrected Yoon JongShin’s explanation of ‘Contraceptive pill commercial’ that “It is not a pill” and “It is a column about types of contraceptives”. He explained carefully “This is important”, “It should not be for unsought situations”, “The contents are on the explanations on methods of usuage”.
In response, MC Kim Gura said “So it is to encourage the correct usage of contraceptive tools” and making an idle remark, “You did such a good thing at a young age” to change the ambience positively.
Park JungMin thought at that time “I didn’t think that it was a bad thing.” And he also spoke of his opinion frankly “I will do it again if I were to get back at it now.”
Park JungMin also said “In one of the CF that we filmed previously, one CF that doesn’t look good is the one that we were turning member HyungJoon as a skipping rope.”
This episode of ‘Golden Fishery’ recorded 13.8% (TNS Media Research) viewship.

I have another presentation next week and then I'll be done with presentations! I hate presentations but that's all we do in my major. I'm an Interior Designer Major btw..which means I'll always be working on projects and what not. Since I couldn't blog while I was working on all my school stuff, I was downloading BOF and We Got Married online. I finally have all of the episodes!
Since I'm back after a couple days of not posting here's a treat for you! Delicious yummy looking pics of the wonderful KyuJong! I love him!!

SS501’s member Park Jungmin has become a thrifty driver while surfing vintage car sites” Park Jungmin recently met up with Sports Hangook “I received my Class A driving license recently. Since I skipped the theory test, I took 3 years to pass. Firstly, I would like to buy a vintage car to drive.”
As soon as he received his license, he’s been addicted to the excitement of surfing vintage car sites. He even went as far as to say that he’s set aside a minimum of 1 million won and has been prudently surfing sites to pick the correct car. Park Jungmin was the only SS501 member that didn’t possess a driving license. So, he has been asking the members for information on cars and everyone can see his enthusiasm to get his own car. Kim Hyunjoong said “Park Jungmin received full marks for his written exam the last time. This is the first time I’ve seen a person who has gotten full marks for the written exam”
Park Jungmin went to sit for his license exam after his musical ‘Grease’ ended its run.

That's weird that this article said that Jungmin was the only one without a driver's license but I remember watching a show with Kyujoong and he was saying that he doesn't have one either. Maybe this article is a bit wrong...
I do agree with KJ about never seeing anyone who's gotten full marks on t he written exam. That's insane, but then again Jungmin is very book smart.

Park Jungmin, a member of a famous group SS501, was very estatic when he passed his driver's license test in four years.
According to a source close to Park Jungmin himself said "Recently Park Jungmin passed type one regular driver's license. Amongst the members he was the first one to try, since it seemed like he wanted to drive so badly. However whenever he had to take his test, the time overlapped with his other schedules. So it took him four years to actually pass the test.
The same person also mentioned that Jungmin passed the test with a perfect score of 100. Jungmin is very happy that he was able to get his license in four years, with a perfect score.
Park Jungmin started to meet with his fans not as a singer, but as a musical actor as SS501 started their unit activities. Park Jungmin was casted as a lead role of Danny in the musical 'Grease.' He started the musical in early march, and successfully finished the Encore shows as well.
Also during KHJ's fan meeting 'Goodbye Yoon Ji Hoo' which was held in Olympic Hall at Olympic Park, Park Jungmin stood on a stage with the rest of SS501 members as a singer after a long hiatus.
Member Kim HyunJoong was put up for sale with a cheap price by SS501 member Park JungMin.
Park JungMin visited the filming scene of KBS 2TV ‘Boys Over Flowers’ in a hotel located in YongSan-gu, Seoul together with Kim KyuJong on 28-Mar afternoon.
Park JungMin made an idle remark in an interview by a variety show featuring an F4 special episode, “Well done, Kim HyunJoong. Please give him a role that is like his real character next time. I will sell Kim HyunJoong for 200won.”
Lol, Jungmin is so funny and adorable. I love how they always joke with one another. Jungmin, just like Kyujoong says that HJ is nothing like Ji Hoo and I can understand what they're saying. You can see his quirky, I don't care attitude when you watch their old shows on youtube. I love watching their old shows, they're so cute, funny and adorable!
SS501 Park Jungmin’s knee surgery successful “Will have to be in a cast for a month and cut back on activities’
Park Jungmin received surgery on his left knee on the 2nd at a orthopedic hospital near his private residence.
A DSP representative told Newsen on the 3rd through a telephone interview that “The surgery was successful’ and although it wasn’t an elaborate surgery, but since it’s an important part to a dancer-singer, we’re very worried’ and said ‘Thank goodness the operation was ended successfully’
Park Jungmin seriously injured his left knee during a performance of his musical ‘Grease’ a few days ago. Park Jungmin still insisted on performing his musical ‘Grease’ and performing on KBS 2TV ‘Music Bank’ (aired on the 27th of Feb) despite his injury. Eventually, the condition of his knee deteriorated and he received surgery on the 2nd.
The DSP representative also said “He’ll have to wear a cast for around a month’ ‘The most important thing now is to let him undergo treatment’
Also, SS501’s member Park Jungmin’s role as the male lead in the musical ‘Grease’ has earned him lots of praise for his better than expected acting.
Kim Hyung Woo - Newsen
Another piece of news from Newsen. I just cut out the important bit.
A DSP representative told Newsen through a telephone interview that ‘Park Jungmin hurt his knee during the musical performance. We suggested that he rest but Park Jungmin insisted that he still has to go on stage since it’s been a long time since all 5 members of SS501 have appeared on ‘Music Bank’, therefore he said he really wanted to be part of the performance.’

SS501 Park Jungmin hurt his left ankle and will undergo surgery on the 2nd
Today starnews understood from SS501's entertainment company representative that "Park Jungmin hurt his ankle during his musical performance on the 24th of Feb when he fell. He has been undergoing treatment, and according to the doctor, he'll undergo surgery on the 2nd of March" through a phone conversation.
Park Jungmin has still be continuing with his musical performances despite his injury. Especially when Jungmin and Kim Hyunjoong attended the 500th episode of KBS Music Bank - although he was very much in pain, but since it was such a rare opportunity for the whole group to perform together, Park Jungmin didn't give up.
The company's representative added "His condition was worse than we thought and will have to undergo surgery in the hospital near his house on the 2nd" "He'll have to undergo further treatments after his surgery to regain his health. Sorry for making everyone worry"
Recently, SS501 has been gaining lots of popularity through their member's solo activities and the unit's album.
We all know that all idol group members are not just trained to sing. To survive in the K-pop jungle, one must be trained to be an all around entertainer. Acting, dancing, hosting, modeling, eating a ball flame in front of a live audience, are all part of the rigorous preparation these idol group members have to go through.
Just the past year alone, we saw a lot of the most well known idol groups branch out from their usual sing and dance routine.
SS501 members also got bitten with the acting bug. Jungmin was last seen in the hit musical “Grease”. The play was given lukewarm reviews but everyone noted Jungmin’s dedication to lose 15 lbs. just to play the role of Danny.
And then there’s their leader, Kim Hyunjoong. If there’s one good example of crossover success, Hyunjoong has got to be it. He has now carved his name in the annals of Asian pop culture; he is more popular than ever and of course, the CF endorsements…
Of course this does not mean that his acting was given glowing remarks. Initially, fans were a little skeptical how this rookie will fare as a full-pledged drama actor.
But not all idols were as fortunate as Hyunjoong.
Case and point: Super Junior. Instead of getting busy promoting in China or performing the Pajama Party Dance, Kibum spent most of the year in the 111-episode drama “Chunja’s Happy Events”. The drama wasn’t exactly a hit. And though Kibum got to pursue his acting which is a major priority for him, he unintentionally distanced himself from the fans.

I deleted a couple of paragraphs that didn't really talk about SS501 and I thought it wasn't as interesting.
Friday, February 13, 2009
I've been random YouTube-ing and I just wanted to share a couple of clips that I like and thought was funny. Of course these clips are related to HJ, HB, and SS501! <3
HJ is so cute! He's so funny even when he's not even trying...that's why I love him so much. Watching this clip reminds me of the Joongbo days on We Got Married which made me a little sad.
But on a funnier note! HB on Infinity Girls! Too bad the cuts are the ones when they mention HJ. I really want to watch more of the IG shows with HB but the only ones that are subbed are the ones that mention HJ. I love HJ but I also love HB. I know there are a lot more HJ fans out there than HB, but I wish that HB would get a little more attention. She needs more subbing!!!
I love the way that they make fun of HB! It's so cute and of course HB with a good personality doesn't take it to heart but instead laughs at it. It caught me by surprise when she mentioned that she was divorce. OMG! I know I'm so stupid for this but...although I know that HB and HJ aren't together anymore I never actually thought about the whole "divorce" thing. It was sad to hear...=(
I love how the little boys like HB because of the way she treated HJ. You can tell that the little boys like HJ by the way they were talking about him. They're so cute, especially the one who took the pacifier out of his mouth and said that he can finally talk.
This one is also funny. Don't you all agree that HB is so pretty?! I'm so envious of her! Man, I wish I had her body and her sense of humor. Overall, she's the perfect woman. She's definitely my role model!
It's so cute the way the boys were dancing to gee, showing their good sense of humor and their cuteness! Then suddenly they perform and OMG! They get so serious! That's what I love about them. They can joke around, play, have fun but when it comes down to business they get it done. I've seen a lot of their performance for this song but every time I can't help but get totally into the song and watching them. For some reason whenever Young Saeng sings I feel this sudden rush. His voice/vocals are so unique which stands out a lot. I can instantly know that it's him singing...but then by now a can already figure out the differernt vocals in SS501. I remember Young Saeng saying that he actually doesn't really like his voice because it sounds like a little boy and that's why he always gets the high pitched parts. He wishes that his voice can be deeper because he wants to be able to sound manlier. I hope he doesn't continue to think that way because he's really good but he doesn't think that of himself. He's putting himself down when I think he's one of the best singers out there. I also love the outfits that they wear! Look at Kyujoong and that hat! Omg, he's so cute! I just love them so much!
I wanted to add this clip because this is my favorite song from Triple S. I love their dance, it's so sexy! The way they wear those suits are so hot! I really like the suits a lot. I think I have a thing for guys in suits. Hehe. They look a lot more mature now and manlier compared to before. Omg! Hotness!
Of course I can't leave out Jungmin...that would be wrong! The little parts of him acting shows that he's really good at it. I want to go see the musical with him in it, too bad it's so far! He seems to be really into it, well of course..that's what he's always wanted to do growing up. Watching this clip makes me laugh. He's still his funny self. One thing that I couldn't help but notice while watching this clip of Jungmin was how perfect his face was! Can you see? It's so clear and his fine cheekbones. Man...I wish my skin was as perfect as his. Another thing I couldn't help but think about was how much skinnier the SS501 guys have become compared to how they were before. They sure are working really hard, causing them to lose a lot of weight. I hope they'd put some weight back on because they need to be healthy. They need to sleep and eat well but from the looks of it I don't think they are because they're so busy working. Poor SS501..makes me sad.
This is the solo Grease performance that Jungmin did that had been mentioned in the previous Youtube clip. I was wondering, maybe the producer saw him singing to their musical, liked his performance and decided to offer him the leading role because he was so good! Hehe, what a great imagination I have. Wouldn't that be funny? Shoot, I don't know...maybe it is true, I wouldn't know..
So this is basically what the SS501 boys are doing. They're doing their own thing but at the same time they're supporting each other and that's why I love them! I totally can't wait for their next album!
Recently group SS501’s 3-member unit members Kim HyungJoon Heo YoungSaeng and Kim KyuJong went to watch Park JungMin’s performance who has turned into a musical actor.
On 03-Feb, SS501’s representative revealed “3 of them, Kim HyungJoon, Heo YoungSaeng and Kim KyuJong will be going to watch musical ‘Grease’ today which Park JungMin took part in. Before then, Park JungMin had asked the members not to go as it would be a burden to him, now finally they managed to have some available time to watch it.”
He added “The members felt extremely encouraged that they would be watching Park JungMin’s performance.”
Kim HyunJoong who also turned into an actor like Park JungMin had watched ‘Grease’ before the rest of the members last November. In order to encourage his dongsaeng Park JungMin who turned into an actor together with him, Kim HyunJoong has been striving in studying acting himself.
Meanwhile ‘Grease’, which Park JungMin has a role in, is held at KwangJin Cultural Arts Hall Naru Art Center Theatre.
I think that it's so cute that they're so supportive of one another. I love how they're there for one another even though they're doing their own thing. It's funny how JungMin didn't want them to go watch him because he'll feel burdened. He'll feel pressured to do a lot better because his members are watching him, but then again I think he'll do better than he thought. I'm sure that the members are proud of him and of his hard work. Go JungMin!~
I hope that they stay as a group as long as Shinhwa or even longer!
