[Explanation]

- The Project Article is continuous, currently containing 4 parts.
- Each part includes several sections, written by journalists, reporters, and staffs, who have had chance to work with, or encounter JunJin, as well as some fans’ random thoughts.
- Since I’ve been quite busy recently, I’m going to select some particular sections to translate before working on and combining them all when I get more free time plot.
- I have posted at Biz: “JunJin in China’s heart” – Section 1 Part 3 ; “Charitable Star” – Extract Part 1 ; “Interview with JunJin in Nanjing” – Section 2 Part 3
- Part 4 is the latest one, including: “JinSyung Visit in Shanghai Trace Postscript “, and the article I’m going to translate.

08.03.09


Just to see you, more than five thousand princesses have waited in front of Garden Hotel since early morning.

We can’t hide our pain. We can’t deny our sadness.

But above all, for today - the special day, for what you have shown us, your words, and your attitude, where else do we find happiness?

We are all touched, deeply touched, badly touched...



“We thank God for the Rain ... Just you, Baby Bird, it is worth waiting for...”


At 10:00am, when they announced the cancellation of all outdoor activities due to security and weather reasons, all princesses decided to wait. It is because we know you will never let us down.

Our hearts stopped beating right at the moment we saw you through the window glasses.

We can’t tell ... whether the water drops on our faces ... were from rain or tears.

You are there, trying to push the window. We heard the bodyguards shouting “Don’t open! Don’t open!”

Darling, just by that, we know ... you want to get closer to us; you want to make the most of this face-to-face exchange opportunity to touch our feeling.

Darling, when you gave us a thump up, totally moved, we know that every second we are here, every second we look at each other, is more precious than any hour-long speeches.

Because darling, you understand the silent words from the bottom of our hearts.

What if it wasn’t raining? Wouldn’t we have had an as-usual fansign with your being gorgeous, friendly, and smiling-all-the-time self greeting and signing on our souvenirs?

God! We thank God for giving us the rain, merging with our tears ... to bring us your true-self, the self that we would probably have never seen.

When it was your turn to hold the micro, we expected the same kind of apology as that of you hyung. But we were all wrong!

Your every single word has echoed in our mind, our heart: “It’s still raining ... Are you cold? Are you fine?”

You didn’t even try to explain or make an excuse for yourself. You must have waited for long to ask us that question. We saw every bit of the caring, the worry on your face.

That is what we don’t need any translator to understand. That is the mutual feeling we are all sharing.

Darling, every time you come to China, you always show us your bright and beautiful smile, but yesterday, you didn’t smile, even in the slightest way, from the beginning to the end.

“I know you haven’t slept and eaten. Please take some food and medicine. If any of you gets sick, I’ll be very distressed...”

We couldn’t control the emotion anymore when we heard the translation. We are squeezing to acknowledge that you are concerned about us, about our health, and not the million dollars contract, that you came here to see us, that not only us, but also you being eager to meet up here.

You are there, as handsome as ever, quietly and seriously watching us.

Darling, that pain, that sorrow, we can feel...

If it wasn’t raining, we would have had our shirt and posters signed on.

But because it was, we have had a few minutes that will be with us for the life time.


Darling, you have won our heart completely ...

Not being an extreme fan, however, I was really very touched when I read about what Jun-jin said. & now, reading this, I was almost moved to tears. Such devotion, such beautiful love; let's say that we as fans are lucky 4 having such a caring star to idolize; but it's actually Jun-jin himself who is so fortunate to have such true fans with beautiful hearts. THANX MILLION FOR SHARING & TRANSLATING, it's the devotion & sincere love of such fans as U & many others that really spreads Shinhwa love; not only b/c they're such so lovable the way they are! B/c of U fans, Shinhwa have had the strength to continue on like now... Thank God 4 creating the stars 4 us to discover such unconditional love exist in this world...
