[TAEIL] Last post of 2012

2012년 12월 31일이에요..
벌써 2012년이 끝나다니.. 맙소사…이런…오마이갓…헐…씁…후….
나에게 2012년은 너무 빨리 지나간거같음
다들 연말을 어떻게 지냈는지 궁금하네요~
음 난 그동안 자주 못봤던 가족 친구들 등등 만나면서 지낸것같음 ㅋ

창문을 보니 눈이 엄청 와서 길거리도 집들도 다 하얘요
보기는 좋네요
사실 전 눈을 그닥 좋아하지 않아요. 왜냐하면 내릴땐 이쁜데
하루지나면 다 까매지고 질퍽질퍽 거려서 ㅡㅡ;;
내가 밖에 나갔는데 눈을 밟아서 내 신발안으로 물이 스며들면 진짜 짜증남
비도 똑같음
비도 내리면 보기에는 나쁘지않고 비온후 냄새도 좋고 다 좋은데
내 신발에 묻으면 짜증이 나요
그래서 전 눈,비를 별로 좋아하지 않습니다
전 아무래도 가을하고 잘맞나 봐요 가을은 여름처럼 덥지도 않고 시원하고 딱좋음
그래서 열대어들이 초가을에 산란을 하나봐요 ㅋ

이제 2013년이 되면 난 24살임.정말 싫은것중 하나가 바로 나이를 먹는거에요
어릴땐 빨리 늙고 싶었는데 ㅎ…..
사실 예전에는 동안이란 소리 진짜 많이 들었어요
고등학생같아 보인다고도 많이 듣고 그랬는데 요새는 그냥 내 나이정도 되보인다고 그래요
24살같아 보인다니..옛날 같았음 상상도 못할일인데 후
20살때부터 급격한 노화가 진행되었던것같음
음..20살이 되니 갑자기 눈앞이 깜깜해지고 뭐해서 먹고 살지?라는 생각과 함께..
정신차리고 노래해야겠다 해서 연습갔다가 끝나면 아르바이트하기를 무한반복하다보니
6개월정도 만에 폭삭 늙어있었음..
그래도 그때 운좋게 마지막 기회를 잡아서 이렇게 블락비 태일로 활동할수 있게 되었음ㅎ
대견하죠?ㅋㅋ
여러분도 꿈과 희망을 놓지 않길 바랍니다.
아시겠습니까? 네? 크크

무튼 2012년. 한해동안 나도 그렇고 팬분들도 좋은일,나쁜일 많~~은 일이 있었겠지만,
좋은일은 새해에 더더욱 좋은일로 돌아올꺼라 믿고,
나쁜일은 2013년에 더 잘 돼기 위한 과정이라 믿어요
우리가 보여준 시간들에 비해 여러분들 기다리게 시간이 너무 길어서
항상 미안한마음뿐.
대신 항상 실망시키지않는 모습으로 돌아왔다고생각해요
이번에도 실망시키지 않은 모습으로 돌아올테니까 , 조금만 기다려줘요 ㅎ 
다들 2013년 계사년 새해복 많이 받으시고„다 같이 파이팅 !!

It’s the 31st of December 2012..
To think that 2012 is already ending.. Good Lord… This… Oh my god…Hul…Ssub* … Huu*….
For me, it feels like the year 2012 went by too quickly
I wonder how everyone spent their end of the year~
Um I think I will be spending it with my family and friends whom I didn’t get to see as oftenㅋ

Looking at the window, there has been a lot of snow which had left the roads and the houses all white
It’s nice to see
To be honest, I don’t like the snow very much. The reason why is because it’s pretty when it falls
But after a day passes everything becomes black and squishy squashyㅡㅡ;;
When I go outside and I step on the snow, if the water seeps into my shoes then it’s really annoying
It’s the same with rain
Looking at the rain as it falls isn’t bad, and the smell left after the rain is all good but

If it gets in my shoes then it’s annoying
This is the reason why I don’t like snow and rain as much
I guess somehow autumn matches me the best Autumn isn’t hot like the summer, it’s refreshing and I just love it
I guess that’s why tropical fish spawn during early autumnㅋ

Now if it becomes 2013, then I will be 24. One thing I really hate is getting older
Although I wanted to grow up faster when I was younger heh…..
To be honest, when I was younger I kept getting told that I had a boyish face*
I kept hearing things like I look like a high school student but recently they just tell me I look my age 
To look like a 24 year old.. Seems like once upon a time, it was something unimaginable hu
I feel like I proceeded to age rapidly when I turned 20
Um..After becoming 20, all of a sudden it became dark in front of my eyes, together with thoughts like what should I do to eat and live?* 
After deciding to get a hold of myself and sing, going to practice and once it ended, going to my part time job came on infinite loop
And within just 6 months I had aged entirely..
But still, I was lucky enough at that time to catch the last chance and manage activities as BLOCK B’s Taeil heh
Aren’t you proud? ㅋㅋ
I hope everyone also doesn’t lose their dreams and hopes.
Do you understand? Yes? 크크

Anyway the year of 2012. Throughout the year, for me as well as our fans, although a lo~~t of good things and bad things have occurred,
believing that the good things will make the new year an even better day,
I believe that the bad things are a process to make 2013 a much better year
Compared to the times that we have shown you, since the length of time that everyone has waited was longer
I am always apologetic.
Instead, I think we have come back with an appearance which will not always disappoint you
And we will be back with the appearance which will not disappoint, so please wait a little while longer heh
Everyone, have a Happy New Year with the year 2013„Everyone together Fighting !!

T/N:
Ssub … Huu: Broken words
Boyish face: A young looking face when compared to age
To eat & live: A profession to make ends meet

[CAFE] 121016 From BBC Chairman / D-1

꿈 같네요. 실감이 안납니다.

아이들의 데뷔때 부터 오늘까지를 돌아보면 환희의 순간은 하나도 떠오르지 않고 ‘고난의 연속’만이 시즌별로 우루루 떠오르는데..
그 와중에도 이렇게 무럭무럭 자란 모습이 짠 하다못해 울렁울렁 합니다.

성숙해진 블락비 . 떠나지 않고 기다려 주신 BBC 여러분 너무 감사 드리고

고생하신 멤버들의 가족 분들, 멤버 본인들께 축하의 말씀 전합니다.

그리고 죽기 아니면 살기로 고생하신 스타덤 임직원 스텝분 들의 노고도 잊어서는 안되겠고, 끈끈한 협력사들 임직원 분들도 자기 자식 인양 아낌 없는 도움 주셨습니다. 감사합니다
방송사 임직원님들 PD님들, 매체사 기자님 들 정말 많은 분들이 쉽지 않은 도움을 선뜻 주셨습니다. 감사합니다.
보이지 않는 곳에서 도움 주신 분들 한분 한분 의 얼굴이 다른 감회 보다 먼저 떠오르니 더욱이 감사해야할 앨범이고
저 보다도 멤버 본인 들과 BBC 의 감회는 오죽 할까 싶습니다.


참 순탄치 못했지만 발전해서 돌아왔습니다.

다시 한번 BBC 여러분 들 감사합니다

내일 쇼케이스 에서 뵙겠습니다

오랜만에 의장이 올림^^

TRANSLATION

It feels like a dream. It doesn’t feel real.

Not one joyful moment comes to mind when looking back from the kids’ debut to today, but instead only seasons of “continuous hardship” comes to mind..
And even amongst everything their rapid growth is bittersweet, it makes me feel butterflies in my stomach.

Matured Block B . BBCs who didn’t leave but waited, I would like to thank you.

To the family of the members who have suffered, and to the members themselves, I would like to pass on my congratulations.

Also, with the idea of ‘to live or to die’, the Stardom staff who have suffered, we cannot forget their labor, and our relatives, and staff who have stuck by us, they have generously given their help for their children’s recovery. Thank you.

The employees at the broadcasting companies, PDs, publishers, reporters, and many other people have willingly given us a lot of help, which is not easy. Thank you.
The people who helped us from behind the scenes, each of your faces come to me before other emotions so it’s an album to be more thankful for, and the emotions of the members themselves and BBCs must be even more so overwhelming than mine.

It hasn’t been a smooth ride but we’ve returned with development.

Thank you once again to all the BBC.

I will meet you at tomorrow’s showcase.

It’s been a while, sincerely from the Chairman^^ (Big Boss)

[Taeil] I’m eating Jjapaghetti

I’m making Jjapaghetti right now you know? But I must have not put in enough water

The Jjapaghetti completely became dduk what should I do about this ㅡㅡ;

I greedily made 2 for nothing, it’s completely ruined

Um…..

You guys eat deliciously too >,.<

And I went to the dentist yesterday and they said that if you eat coffee and curry your teeth will turn yellow

So I’m not going to eat them now

You guys don’t eat it too

Then that’s it for now

And I hate Mondays the mostㅡㅡ

(T/N: 1. Jjapaghetti is a type of instant noodle. 2. What Taeil means by “dduk” is that the noodles became sticky like rice cakes.)

If you look at something in a negative light, you’ll only see the bad aspects even when you’re in the best of situations.  Once you begin to creak, everything crumbles.

What’s the most effective way to perfect the flaws?

Everything you’re feeling now has been felt by the members before, and before that, by the employees, and before that, by me.  And more than anything, we have two people that make schedules for the boys, and they’re probably the most upset about the two minute stage and all of the other stages that they could not get.

I, too, get angry moment after moment in my office, but looking at it objectively, it’s not easy for a new company to promote a rookie group.  (We are not only embracing them without cause.  To music programs, we are one of the newest companies, and the CEO is one of the youngest out there.  Not only that, but our group is also a rookie.  It’s inevitable that we don’t have the proper ties yet… Please don’t blame that, though, but support us.  If you wish to blame, it’s right to blame me.)

And despite all of that, the staff and Block B came together with their own reasons in BNS and debuted here.  I feel that it was a decision between a company with vested rights that would allow them to appear as a fixed member of more shows, and our company, where they’re given the freedom in terms of music, talent, and creativity, which is one of the biggest differentiating aspects of Block B.  Can you imagine the members of Block B dancing and singing to a processed song in another boy group?

There’s no reason to compare to other people.  We know our position now, and we hope that you give your strength to the members to slowly but surely work their way as planned.  (Maybe it’s because the kids are young, but they get hurt with the comments more than I thought.  I was a bit surprised as well.)

All of the bigger companies now all had to emerge from somewhere.  Those days were during my teens, so it’s still fresh in my memory.  (Excluding company ‘J’, which was launched with the support of a particular company.)

What we’re absolutely sure of right now is!

The way we support and embrace each other now will be a beautiful memory later.

^^

PS. I wrote twice today ㅎㅎ

This is a quote from a book I read this weekend.  “It may not boil at 99 degrees, but it will begin to boil at 100.”

What temperature are we at now?  I woke up in the early morning, got ready, and attended the camera rehearsal, but I did not see the members’ stage in the end. (I was, however, curious how the two minute arrangement would come out to be like ㅋㅋ)

I don’t know when I began organizing my thoughts in my dark office over the weekend like this, but it’s now become a part of my life and a moment of rest.

We may not be sure what temperature we’re at now (I hope it’s not too low ^^) but I am positive that it is now that we must become fired up.

BB & BBC fighting~!!

[CAFE] 110625 Cho PD: “Do they say we’re not traditional hip hop?”

What’s traditional hip hop?

In other words, it can be interpreted as Konglish ’90s style primo sound hip hop.. and in English?  Traditional hip hop? Legit hip hop.. there’s nothing like that.

For the BBCs that are coming across these terms for the first time through Block B, there’s no need for you to be intimidated.  People that obsess over these things are nothing but newbies to the hip hop scene. Don’t ask them what they’re talking about, just let them ramble on their own and end the situation there.

Block B is an idol team.

In the time it takes to discuss what traditional hip hop is, we’re working on perfecting our own music and sound.  This time, we’ve switched out our entire production team to really create the ‘BB sound’, and my heart beats at the entire process of it from start to finish.  

Please look forward to it ^^

P.S. And those that think that so and so ‘team’ can do better, we’ll go up against them in a battle as long as time permits.  (But not for free)
