[08.05.25][trans] Hyesung at Yeong-il Jung Clan's Po Eun Cultural Festival

*in response to Hyesung Addicts' question, i can only try my best to explain this to the best of my abilities...and what i understand about this bit of Korean history...

Yeong-il Jung clan - as you know Hyesung's real name is Jung Pil Gyo, and Jung is a fairly common surname in Korea, but this doesn't mean that all Jungs share the same ancestors. so the Yeong-il part of the clan name simply specifies lineage...being in the same clan just means that you're direct descendants of the same ancestors

Po Eun - this is the pen name of Jung Mong Ju, a celebrated Korean scholar and poet from the Koryo dynasty, of whom Hyesung is a direct descendant. more about him here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeong_Mong-ju

this is an annual festival held from 23-26 May in Yong-In City where Jung Mong Ju's tomb lies, to mark his death anniversary...*


Went to the Po Eun Cultural Festival today.
Know who Shinhwa's Shin Hyesung is? (If you don't just do a NAVER search)
Shin Hyesung's real name is Jung Pil Gyo.
Then I found out that Shin Hyesung is actually part of the Yeong-il Jung clan too.
So that's why he was there too, and he even walked right past me.
He's tall, and he looked really good with his shades,

Just looking at the photo and his past years' photos, we can totally agree that he looks good with shades... no wonder he always wear shades, even on shows. :D
