Jun. K and Enlistment...How is this Stan handling being a military wife? LOL!!!

Bae has enlisted and it was a shock, but not a surprise. Obviously, I knew he was going to enlist, as I wrote the Blog "So Your Bias Will Enlist". What I didn't know is that he was going to have a little DUI situation and have to basically go on a self-inflicted hiatus. I figured it would happen in the month of May and we all had theories. I wish I had a picture of my work calendar because I wrote down the dates that other idols were enlisting and thought maybe he would go the same day. I was close but wrong. Enlistment date: May 8th.

My initial reaction to his enlistment:                         

So I hyperventilated a little and dropped a tear or two but I soon got it together and read his letter in several English translations.  I thought for sure Minjun would have posted a pic on Instagram before he enlisted, but after reading the letter, I see that getting into a little trouble publically was very disheartening/disappointing to himself and he took all very seriously as he should. The way he had locked himself up, I thought the next time I was going to see Minjun was on the day his enlistment would be over. LUCKILY someone is the best leaker or poster or Jun. K stan because he has been in the Army for 13 days (Korea Time) and we have so many updates and postings. Honestly, it's like a breath of fresh air. I feel like I am seeing him more than I did before the DUI even. 

Insignia

 What is awesome is there is a way for me to write a letter to him, which I have drafted and written in hangul and just need to type it on the Korean Military website... www.mil.kr/iletter 
This is the 2nd Infantry's Insignia that you have to click to find him. 

He even wrote a letter to fans expressing how everyone is getting along and that he was able to learn formations easily (Easier than 2pm's Choreography). I am now feeling proud of him as he is toughing it out better than I once thought and he is even being a leader to his squad in the army. I hope he continues to do well. 
I also think it is safe to say that he has a great face without make up. While active with 2pm Kim Min Jun ssi is made up with a lot of make up. There is a great deal of contouring done with his face. 2pm make up artist once said this was due to the fact that his face isn't as symmetric as the others and so this takes more time. All I know is with or without make-up that's MY BAE!!!! I love him. I will continue to wait for him. 627 days left.

Horrible blogger... Terrible Things in Kpop

OK so truthfully life sets in and blogging gets pushed aside...its horrible, but I am a teacher of special students so and I never reward myself with time alone to blog. AND my computer died in December....

Horrible things have happened in kpop recently anyway... well maybe not that recent but back in December..

Starting with a really tragic event... the death of SHINee member JongHyun. On December 18, 2017 Jonghyun actually committed suicide. You really have to wonder what was hurting him so bad that he took his own life. Its such a shame and it was just sad. Media outlets provided many sources of videos and pictures of the funeral. Which I found both morbid, but a fascinating look at Korean culture. MANY celebrities in the Kpop world attended or paid their respects to  Jong Hyun and his family. 


RIP Kim Hyun Jong

Also in the news a scandal with a University... Kyunghee University to be exact and this school is no joke academically. I went to the website and the Korean wasn't confusing, but the science was...smh...  the scandal involves CNBlue Leader Jung Yong Hwa. Its seems that his admission to the university was suspicious as in he was let in because he is a celeb and not because he is super smart. And from the look of things it also seems like he was in pursuit if a doctorate and a little delay in the mandatory enlistment of the Korean Military. I swear maybe they should do away with the mandatory enlistment thing because it seems like every year the celebrities have a scandal with the enlistment. I mean really what do  celebrities know about the military. Blood Sweat and Tears fall onto the dancefloor and stage not crossing enemy lines. Plus they get in the military and still get special treatment.... I can really go on and on about military and scandals, Rain, Song Seung Heon, didn't Seven have a little issue? ETC ETC.... What is crazy is the celebrities do things to delay enlistment, but when they get caught they end up enlisting immediately because it looks more honorable to enlist when you are in trouble. So its like just do it and get it over with.... Well I mean he's not my bias, but my my bias made the news of course...smh....

February is like his bad luck month.... Last February Kim Min Jun, Jun. K of 2pm fell during what was supposed to be 2pm's farewell concerts as Jun. K would enlist. Instead the concerts were cancelled, later rescheduled as Jun. K healed from injuries sustained from the fall. This also pushed his enlistment date back. I, of course was excited because there was something very uneasy about last year and his last concerts etc. They seemed oddly sad. Given extra time Jun. K made music and released another Korean album November 2017, the promotions went well for that and then we got news that he would release a Japanese album and have a Japanese tour before enlisting. BUT of course February happens and scandal seems to follow my MinJunnie. Caught at a checkpoint in Gangnam Jun. K was drunk driving. As an adult I was very upset and disappointed. If you know 2pm's history then you know that Nichkhun had a dui scandal a few years ago. JYP of course had to release a statement AND decided to cancel all promotions and Jun. K was to take a hiatus. Which created more disappointment because all six members were to perform during the Winter Olympics . Fans were excited to see OT6 because member Taecyeon,  currently serving in the military would be on stage too. So most of us were upset, but as STANS we forgave him and waited patiently to see just what JYP Japan and Sony Japan  had to say about his Japanese albums. Hooray for us because they are going to release everything and he will still hold the Japanese tour. Unfortunately scandals like this are not the best in Korea and we fear that he will not be able to have a successful career in Korea. I just hope my Jun. K can stay out of trouble for a while.... maybe enlist quietly....

And in other enlistment news... G-Dragon has enlisted as scheduled, I am really trying to figure how T.O.P is doing tho....

WAEYO??? OPPA??? Kim Hyun Joong gets ex girlfriend PREGGO

Ok so 용서 (yongseo, Forgive me)... As a full time teacher, I am just not able to watch KDramas like I could previously BUT the current headlines HAVE to be discussed.... 

KIM HYUN JOONG gets EX girlfriend PREGNANT!!!! 

Yes that is what the headline said! According to the article. Kim Hyun Joong apologized for hitting her... OH YeAH that happened... Last July an ex girlfriend of Kim- Ssi went to the police and accused him of hitting her and leaving injuries. He ADMIT to one instance of domestic abuse, but denied it led to any injuries. All she wanted was a public/private apology and she decided again pressing charges. He was still fined as he admitted to having assaulted her once. NOW after all of this which did not help his career and probably put a slight damper on his Mr. Perfect image it is now announced that he has gotten this same chick, who's is now known as Choi, PREGGO??? SMH. 

Oh Alien Prince... 2014-2015 just has not made any sense (to me at least). It seems that according to a close friend Kim who is probably most loved for his role on the Kdrama Boys over Flowers and being leader of the Kpop boy band SS501 was sincere about his apology and rekindle the love with the "victim" Choi. She is now 10 weeks preggo. Her due date is in September and families are on board with a future marriage... only problem... enlistment. He already postponed his October 2014 enlistment date to March 2015. Enlistment for 2 years in Korea is mandatory for every male. He has just recently ended his Japanese tour "Gemini" which went well... reception in Japan for KHJ is still very high. 

Seems like this year has been like a real Kdrama for Kim Hyun Joong. Although this is coming from left field, catching us off guard, I can only wish him and his family the best of the luck in the future. In the meantime I still need to process this whole thing. I think I will just remember the best of Kim Hyun Joong....

Hencia it will be ok!!!!
