The 14th Donation Present from Japan

“The 14th Present” On This Valentine’s Day

Dear Bae Yong Joon-san,

Hello!

On this Valentine’s Day, we the Japanese family would like to give you a gift from our hearts wishing you a speedy recovery.

This year too, instead of sending you chocolates, family from Tokyo, Hokkaido, Akita and Aomori have joined hands and called out to everyone to donate to the LSH Asia Shogakukai (Scholarship Foundation) to support the students who have come from all over Asia to study in Japan.

Your family who found out about this plan, passed the message on to other members of the family, and the word spread throughout Japan like a telephone game.

Needless to say, fans raised the topic on your Japanese official board, as well as on various fan sites and blogs, and it became a much talked about subject among us.

In this way, we collected 294 number of donations, amounting to 1,003,953 yen in total from family members all over Japan, and we were able to contribute to the scholarship foundation under the name “ People Who Love Bae Yong Joon-san”.

We have kept this project alive since 2004, and this will be our 14th present.

Please accept the warm feelings of “LOVE”(사랑 愛) each of us in the family possess in caring for those around us in effort of making them happy.

And we hope that like you Yong Joon-san, many students learning Japanese will spread their wings around Asia, and even further to a bigger world.

And there is one thing we would like to share with you.

On January 26 at the “Gathering Commemorating the 10th Anniversary of Lee Soo Hyun-san’s Death”, we were able to see the flowers you sent on the occasion.

We are most certain that your flowers expressed your feelings of condolence to Lee Soo Hyun-san, as well as your recognition of the scholarship foundation which has lasted for 10 years. And to Lee Soo Hyun-san’s parents who have overcome the many sorrows over the past ten years, your flowers must have given them great comfort and encouragement.

The flowers reminded us of you yourself – noble and gorgeous, yet at the same time pure.

We from the family who attended the event felt your warm feelings the moment we laid eyes on the flowers, and we were moved to tears.

Lee Soo Hyun-san’s parents were also very happy, and looked at the flowers with smiles on their faces.

Lastly, we of course need to tell you about the drama “Dream High” in which you participate in as the creative producer.

Because we the Japanese family are also eager to watch the drama as early as possible, many of us watch it LIVE on the PC. The drama has also starting airing on DATV starting the end of January. From the very first episode, the storyline is so exciting that we look forward to it every week!

We hope that you will recover as soon as possible, and wish that you will appear in the final episode as Director Jung Ha Myung

BUT… whatever you do, don’t push yourself. Please take it easy!
If there is one thing we your family is good at, it is waiting^^
Easy now!

Please be healthy and happy always.

Yours sincerely,
People Who Love Bae Yong Joon-san

「14回目の寄付のプレゼント」　バレンタインデーを迎えて

ぺ・ヨンジュンさんへ

バレンタインデーに、ヨンジュンさんが早く快癒されるように願いをこめて、日本の家族から心のプレゼントを贈ります。

今年もチョコレートをお贈りする代わりに、日本の東京、北海道、秋田、青森の家族が協力して寄付の呼びかけをし、アジアからの留学生達を支援する「LSHアジア奨学会（李秀賢顕彰奨学会）」に寄付をしました。

この企画を知った家族が、他の家族に伝えて伝言ゲームの様にどんどんと日本中に広がって行きました。

日本公式サイトの掲示板は勿論のこと、個人のブログやサークルでも取り上げられて、家族同士が互いに教え合い大きな話題になりました。

こうして日本全国の家族から 294 件、1,003,953 円の寄付が集まり
「ペ・ヨンジュンさんを愛する人達」と言う名前でLSHアジア奨学会に届けることが出来ました。

2004年から続けて、今回で14回目のプレゼントになります。

家族一人一人が、自分の周りの人を大切に思い幸せにしたいと願う温かい「愛」を受け取って下さい。

そして、より多くの語学留学生たちが、ヨンジュンさんのように、アジアから、さらに世界に向けて大きく羽ばたいてくれる事を願っています。


そして、一つ、お伝えしたい事があります。

1月26日「イ・スヒョンさんを偲ぶ会 10周忌」の会場で、ヨンジュンさんが贈られた、お花を拝見しました。

スヒョンさんへの哀悼と、10年続いた奨学会への慰労、この10年間様々な悲しみを乗り越えていらっしゃったご両親様へのお慰めと同時に励ましのお花となったことでしょう。

贈られたお花は、高貴で、豪華でありながら清楚で、まるでヨンジュンさんを見ているような気持ちにさせられる素敵なものでした。

参列した私達家族はそのお花を一目見るや、ヨンジュンさんの温かいお気持ちが伝わり、胸が（目頭が）熱くなりました。

ご両親様もとてもお喜びで、笑顔でお花を眺めていらっしゃいました。

最後に、ヨンジュンさんがクリエイティブプロドューサーとして参加されているドラマ、「ドリームハイ」についてもお伝えしないといけないですね。

日本の家族も「ドリームハイ」を一日でも早く見たいと、パソコンで生放送を見ています。そして、1月末からは日本のDATVでも放送が始まりました。
第一話からお話の展開がとても面白く、毎週楽しみに見ています。

ヨンジュンさんが一日も早くお元気になって、ハミョン理事長として最終回にまた登場して下さるのを期待しています。

でも・・・無理だけはなさらず、ゆっくりと治してください。

私達家族は、待つことだけは慣れていますので^^ 　ゆっくり^^ ゆっくり^^

「14번째의 성금 선물」 바렌타인데이를 맞이하여


배용준씨에게

안녕하세요.

바렌타인데이에 용준씨가 빨리 쾌유되시기를 소원하면서 저희 일본 가족들이 마음의 선물을 드리겠습니다.

올해도 용준씨에게 초콜릿을 드릴 대신에 일본 도쿄（東京）, 홋카이도（北海道）, 아키타（秋田）, 아오모리（青森）의 가족분들이 협력해서 서로 성금의 호소를 하여 아시아에서 온 유학생들을 지원하는「LSH아시아 장학회 (李秀賢顕彰奨学会）」에 기부했습니다.

이 기획을 알게 된 가족분이 더 다른 가족분들에게 전해서 마치 전언게임처럼 잇다라 일본 전국에 퍼져갔습니다.
일본공식의 게시판은 물론 개인의 블로그나 서클에서도 이 기획을 올렸으므로 가족끼리 서로 알리면서 큰 화제가 되었습니다.

이렇게해서 일본 전국의 가족분들로부터 294 건、1,003,953 엔의 기부금이 모여 「배용준씨를 사랑하는 사람들」의 이름으로 「LSH 아시아 장학회」에 드릴 수가 있었습니다.

2004년로부터 계속해서 이번으로 14번째 선물이 됩니다.

가족 한명 한명이 자신의 주변 사람들을 소중하게 여기면서 행복하게 해주고 싶다란 저희들의 따뜻한「사랑　愛」을 받아 주세요.
그리고 보다 많은 어학 유학생들이 용준씨처럼 아시아에서 더 세게로 크게 웅비할 것을 바라고 있습니다.

그리고 한마디 전해주고 싶은 것이 있습니다.
1월26일 「이수현씨의 추모식 10주기」식장에서 용준씨가 보내주신 조화를 봤습니다.

이수현씨에 대한 애도, 10년이 계속해 온 장학회에 대한 위로, 그리고 그 10년 동안에 온갖 슬픔을 극복해오신 부모님에 대한 위안과 동시에 격려가 된 것이죠.

보내주신 꽃다발은 고귀하고 화려하면서도 청초이기에 마치 용준씨를 보고 있는 듯한 생각이 든 멋진 꽃들이었습니다.

참석한 저희 가족들도 그 꽃다발을 한번 보자마자 용준씨의 따뜻한 마음이 전해져 저희들의 눈시울이 찡하고 뜨거워졌습니다.
이수현씨의 부모님께서도 많이 기뻐하시고 웃으시면서 그 꽃다발을 바라보고 계셨습니다.

마지막으로,
용준씨가 크리에이티브*프로듀서로 참가하고 계시는 드라마 「드림하이」에 대해서도 말씀을 드려야지요^^

일본 가족분들도 드라마「드림하이」를 하루라도 빨리 보고싶어 하여, PC에서 생방송을 보고있어요. 그리고 1월말부터는 일본 DATV에서도 방송이 시작되었어요.
제1화로부터 얘기 전개가 매우 재미있고 매주 기대하면서 보고있어요.
용준씨가 하루 빨리 회복하셔서 정하명이사장님으로 마지막회에 다시 등장해주시기를 기대하고 있습니다.

하지만 ,,,,,무리는 하지마시고 , 천천히 고쳐주세요
저희 가족은 기다리는 것만은 습관이 되고 있으니까요^^ 천천히^^ 천천히^^

항상 건강하시고 행복하세요.

Herb and Dorothy Talk Through Skype at Aoyama Gakuin University

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

The movie "Herb & Dorothy" has become a big hit in Japan.
Just by coincidence, I saw this wonderful movie on November 22 last year.

November 22 in Japan is known by some as "Good Married Couple Day" -
because the numbers 1122 can be pronunced "Ii fufu (a good married couple).

On this day, Herb and Dorothy participated in an interactive LIVE talk show held at Aoyama Gakuin University located near the movie theater. Through a skype connection, the couple talked about their encounter with director Megumi Sasaki (who served as the MC/interpreter of the show), how the movie became a reality, art, AND their ideas on "a good married couple" etc.

(They appear in the video around 9 minutes 22 seconds.)


With a special appearance by their cat Archie!

It was a wonderful evening where the artists and audience were bond with love and togetherness.

Hard as it was to believe, Ichimujin and WeiWei Wuu had collaborated only once before in the past. Their respective performances brought out the best in each other, in all of the works which were very unique in their styles.

WeiWei Wuu-san even offered an crash course on how to play the ehru.
On stage, Yasuhito Udaka-san and Shunsuke Yamashita-san of ICHIMUJIN were her students, who both claimed it was their first time to touch the ehru. They proved to be very promising performers on the ehru, as much as on the guitar (Ms. Wuu mentioned that it was difficult even to make a decent sound at first)^^

The guitar duo ICHIMUJIN has become exteremely famous after their music "Ryomaden Kiko Theme" was used in the popular historical drama "Ryomaden". "Ryomaden" has started airing in Korea starting this January. ICHIMUJIN is eager to take on further challenges, and is planning to perform in the U.S. this year.

WeiWEi Wuu celebrates her 20th anniversary in Japan. She shared her memories with us of the day she arrived in Tokyo as a student - she was so lonely that she could not bear to stay in her apartment alone. So, she spent time in front of the liveliest place she could find in her neighborhood - which turned out to be a pachinko parlor! She expressed her feelings of support to the students from abroad who were part of the audience, wishing them the best of luck.

Ichimujin-san and WeiWei Wuu-san, arigato and 謝謝 for your heartfelt performances!

I would also like to thank cranberry-san and the wonderful staff who organized this concert.

Kamsahamnida to Lee Soo Hyun-ssi's abonim and omonim for being with us at this meaningful event.
이수현씨의 아버님, 어머님,
콘서트를 함께 들을 수 있어서 정말 기뻤습니다. 감사합니다.

And most of all, thank you Lee Soo Hyun-ssi - we felt your love and presence in the audience.

You are far from forgotten, and we shall see to it that you never will be.

MARInet's Report on the Gathering Commemorating Lee Soo Hyun-ssi

From the PESASA Site
2011/01/27
Written by MARInet
(translated by flowerbossa)

On January 26, I participated in the “Gathering Commemorating the 10th Anniversary of Lee Soo Hyun’s Death" with members of PESASA.

As 10 years is a significant anniversary, I and the staff of PESASA went to Shin Okubo Station first to pay our respects to the plaque honoring Lee Soo Hyun-san and Shiro Sekine-san.

NHK and KBS were there to film the flowers.

From 16:00～17:50, a gathering to commemorate LSH-ssi with a speech by his father Lee Sung Dae-ssi was held at Shufu Kaikan Plaza-f.

Photos of LSH-ssi from early as his childhood were shown on screen as his father talked about the memories of his son. Many in the audience were brought to tears moved by Lee Sung Dae-ssi’s warm heart.

During 18:00～20:00, the guests interacted with one another and also paid floral tribute to LSH-ssi.

At the gathering, there was a flower basket from Bae Yong Joon-san.

The staff of LSH Asia Shogakukai (scholarship) said that he had not sent them as “Bae Yong Joon” of KEYEAST or DA, but as a personal gesture. We were also told that if his physical condition had been better, he was planning to send a message as well. We had heard that Yong Joon-san was aware of the fund raising activities honoring LSH-ssi, but we were finally able to confirm this belief and it made us very happy.

LSH-ssi’s parents left the room for awhile to go to Shin Okubo Station at 19:15 to offer flowers at the site of the incident. During this time, the students from Asia sang a song which conveyed their feelings towards LSH-ssi.

Korean actor Lee Tae Sung-ssi (이태성　イ・テソン) who starred in the movie “26 Years Diary” "당신을 잊지 않겠다" 「あなたを忘れない」）and had come from Korea for this gathering gave a speech as well.

Thirteen members participated from PESASA.
Together we gathered around LSH-ssi’s parents and were able to chat with them.

The two of them gave us a warm smile when they saw us, and his father in particular clapped his hands showing his delight in seeing us again. His mother’s smile always charges us with “the power to live”.

We expressed our thoughts on Lee Sung Dae-ssi’s speech etc., and through our broken Korean and Japanese, we were able to have an intimate conversation with them which made us feel very warm inside.

We were sad for not being able to promise them that we would see each other next year like we do every year (because this was to be the last commemoration gathering), but because they were to come to the charity concert on the 28th 　（「アジアの風になって」）、they told us happily that they looked forward to seeing us again in 2 days.

At the end of the event, the participants of PESASA had the pleasure of taking photos with LSH-ssi's parents in front of Bae Yong Joon-ssi’s flowers.

Lastly, I would like to express my gratitude to all the people who had participated in the events commemorating Lee Soo Hyun-ssi from 2005.

Program

1. Dan no Ura Kabuto Gunki - Akoya
壇浦兜軍記 阿古屋

Authors Matsuda Bunkôdô
Hasegawa Senshi

History: The play "Dan no Ura Kabuto Gunki" was originally written for the puppet theater (Bunraku) and staged for the first time in September 1732 in Ôsaka at the Takemotoza. It was adapted to Kabuki the same month, in Kyôto at Miyako Mandayû's theater. It was staged in Ôsaka for the first time in March 1733, at the Kado no Shibai [casting]. It was staged in Edo for the first time in November 1737, at the Kawarazakiza under the title "Uruoizuki Ninin Kagekiyo" [casting]. Only one scene survived, the "koto torture" scene, and the role of Akoya was reserved to the elite of onnagata actors, able to play the traditional instruments of music. From 1950 to 1980, only the star Nakamura Utaemon VI was able to perform this role. The drama "Dan no Ura Kabuto Gunki" was revived as a tôshi kyôgen at the National Theatre in January 1997, with Bandô Tamasaburô performing the role of Akoya for the first time.
Structure The play "Dan no Ura Kabuto Gunki" was in 5 acts. The "koto torture" scene, commonly called "Akoya", was the third act.

Summary

The drama opens in the law court of Horikawa. The rebel Akushichibyôe Kagekiyo, who was captured after his defeat, successfully ran away. Chichibu no Shôji Shigetada is in charge of discovering Kagekiyo's hiding place. The only way to learn about Kagekiyo's whereabouts is to question Kagekiyo's lover, the courtesan Akoya, who is brought to the court under the escort of Hanzawa Rokurô and some soldiers. She says that she has no idea where her lover is. Iwanaga Saemon Munetsura, an akattsura villain performed in the ningyôburi style, who assists Shigetada in his mission, would like to send her to his palace and physically torture her there. Shigetada rebukes him and reminds him that he is the one to lead the mission. Then, he asks Rokurô to bring the instruments he intends to use to question Akoya. Iwanaga takes this request as an opportunity to summon a large group of torturers, who come on stage holding various instruments of torture and performing their role in the comical takeda yakko style. Shigetada order them to leave the palace and Rokurô is back with 3 instruments of ... music: a shamisen, a koto and a kokyû. Akoya is ordered to plays these instruments. She reluctantly accepts and starts with the koto. Her song is about the love she feels for Kagekiyo. After the koto, she plays the shamisen and ends with the kokyû. Her performance is perfect. Even Iwanaga is under the spell of Akoya's music and his hands simulate the playing of an instrument. The true feelings and worries that Akoya expressed in her songs are the definitive proof that Shigetada was looking for: Akoya does not know for sure where her lover is hidden. A liar would not be able to create such a pure music. Shigetada orders the release of Akoya and holds back with his sword the villain Iwanaga, who unsheathes his sword for the final pose.

Akoya is considered a particularly difficult reperotoire as the "onnagata" playing the title role is not only required to display her virtuosity on all three instruments, but to express the inner emotions of the character. Tamasaburo is considered the only onnagata capable of giving the ideal peformance of this role today.

2. Onnadate
女伊達

As the title indicates, the principle character in the dance is a spirited female (onna) version of the OTOKODATE, the "chivalrous commoner" or "street knight" who, as a self-appointed representative of the common poeple and equipped with a sharp tongue, a fiery temper and a penchant for extravagant bravura be habit , strenuously opposed the gang of unemployed warriors who roamed the streets of Edo intimidating the populace. A rival of her male counterpart, she seeks to outswagger him as best she can but not at the expense of her feminine allure. A brisk and colorful dance, it is important as the original of the more famous "Sukeroku".

“Accident at Shin- Okubo Station”
Commemorating the 10th Anniversary of the Death of the Korean Young Man

Yon-sama’s Fans and Others Organize a Concert to be Held On Jan. 28th in Support of Asian Students in Japan

Commemorating the death of a young Korean man who died from trying to save a man who fell down on the tracks at Shin-Okubo Station, a group of people including housewives who are fans of Hallyu star Yon-sama (Bae Yong Joon) will hold a charity concert at Yotsuya Kumin Hall (Naito-cho, Shinjuku-ku) supporting the Asian students studying in Japan. They claim that they were inspired by Yon-sama’s activities as a philanthropist.

Reported by: Yuko Muramatsu
(translated by flowerbossa)

On January 26, 2001, a young Korean man studying in Japan named Lee Soo Hyun (then 26) jumped down on the railway tracks along with a Japanese cameraman trying to save a Japanese man who had accidentally fallen off the platform. All of them died. The following year, with contributions such as the solatium from his parents, a scholarship was established to support the Asian students studying in Japan.

The organizer of the charity concert, Cranberry-san of Suginami-ku was influenced by Yon-sama’s activities such as his act of supporting children in need. Ever since 2004, she called out to his fans on his birthday (August) and Valentine’s Day (February) and collected donations for the scholarship. On occasions such as the anniversary of Lee-san’s death, she met with his parents, and was deeply moved by how they kept active that their son shall not have died in vain and the condition of their minds when they spoke, “he (our son) did not do anything special”.

“We have continued our activities all this time, but the world has already forgotten this incident. We would like for everyone to recall Lee-san’s courageous conduct once more,” says Cranberry-san. Being a member of the nonprofit organization which manages the scholarship, she is well aware of the difficulties of securing funds. Commemorating the 10th anniversary of his death, she planned the concert with the hope of “keeping the scholarship which was born as a result of Lee-san’s conduct alive”.

Appearing in the concert are, the classical guitar duo Ichimujin - a duo of two musicians who are presently 26 years old, the same age as Lee-san at the time of his death- and Wei Wei Wuu, a ehru player from China who has being active in Japan for many years.

Cranberry-san says that “being a mother of two sons myself, I learned many things from Lee-san’s mother. I wanted to do what I could do. I want everyone in the world to become aware of Lee-san’s courage”.

The concert starts from 7 p.m.
Advanced tickets 3000 yen

【도쿄】　
신오쿠보역 사고 한국청년 10주기, 이수형씨의 용기 상기해줘요
유학생지원곤서트기획 2011년1월8일


일본 ＪＲ신오쿠보 역에서 선로위에 추락한 사람을 구하려고 사망한 한국 청년의 10주기를 기념해서, 한류스터 욘사마 (배용준）팬의 주부들이1월28일에 아시아에세 일본으로 공부하러 온 유학생들을 지원하는 채리티 콘서트를 요츠야 구민 홀（신쥬쿠 구 나이토우 쵸 ）에서 열린다. 자선 활동가이기도 한 욘사마의 활동에 촉발되었다고 한다.
（마츠무라 유코 보고）

　2001년1월26일 유학생 이수현씨＝당시（26）는 실수하여 홈에 떨어진 일본인 남성을 구하려고 일본인 사진작가와 함께 선로에 뛰어들어 두리 다 사망했다. 그 다음해 이수현씨의 부모님께서 기부하신 위문금등으로 아시아 유학생을 지원하는 장학금이 창설되었다.
　채리티 콘서트 실행위원장인 도쿄 스기나미 구의 주부cranberry씨는 가난한 아이들을 지원하고 있는 욘사마(배용준）의 활동으로부터 영향을 받고 2004년 이후 욘사마의 생일（8월）과 발렌타인 데이（2월）에 그의 팬 친구들에게 호소하여 이 장학금에 기부해왔다. 이수현씨의 기일에는 부모님을 만나면서 그의 죽음을 헛되게 하지 않기 위해 활동하시는 모습, 「(아들이) 당연한 일을 했을 뿐」이라고 말씀하시는 그 마음 가짐에 감명을 받았다고 한다.
「저희들은 성금 활동을 계속하고 있지만 세상은 잊어버리고 있다. 다시 한번 이수현씨의 용기있는 행동을 상기해주었으면 좋겠다」 고 한다. 장학금을 운영하는 ＮＰＯ법인의 회원도 되고 자금확보의 어려움도 알게 되면서 10주기를 계기로 「이수현씨의 행동의 결과로서 만들어진 장학금을 오래 존속시키고 싶다」고 콘서트를 계획했다.

【東京】
ＪＲ新大久保駅で線路に落ちた人を助けようとして亡くなった韓国青年の十周忌で、韓流スター・ヨン様（ペ・ヨンジュン）ファンの主婦らが二十八日、アジアからの留学生を支援するチャリティーコンサートを四谷区民ホール（新宿区内藤町）で開く。慈善活動家のヨン様の活動に触発されたのだという。（記者：松村裕子）

　二〇〇一年一月二十六日、留学生の李秀賢（イスヒョン）さん＝当時（２６）＝は、誤ってホームに転落した日本人男性を救おうと、日本人カメラマンとともに線路に下り、ともに亡くなった。翌年、両親が寄付した見舞金などで、アジア留学生を支援する奨学金が創設された。

　実行委員長の杉並区のcranberryさんは、貧しい子どもたちの支援などをしているヨン様の活動に影響を受け、〇四年以降、ヨン様の誕生日（八月）とバレンタインデー（二月）に、ファン仲間に呼び掛けて、この奨学金への寄付をしてきた。李さんの命日などでは両親に会い、李さんの死を無駄にしないために活動する姿、「（息子は）当たり前のことをした」と話す心の持ちように感銘を受けたという。

　「私たちは活動を続けていても世の中は忘れている。もう一度、李さんの勇気ある行動を思い出してほしい」と話す。
奨学金を運営するＮＰＯ法人の会員にもなり、資金確保の難しさも知る中で、十周忌を機に「李さんの行動の結果生まれた奨学金を長く存続させたい」とコンサートを計画した。

　李さんが亡くなったときと同じ二十六歳のクラシックギターデュオ・いちむじんと、中国出身で日本で長く活躍する二胡（にこ）奏者ウェイウェイ・ウーさんが出演する。

　cranberryさんは「息子を持つ母親としても、李さんのお母さまに勉強させてもらった。何か自分にできることをしたいと思った。李さんの勇気を世の中のすべての人に伝えたい」と話す。

　コンサートは午後七時から。前売り3,000円（当日3,500円）。
問い合わせは実行委員会＝電話０３（５３７０）４３２２＝へ。
