  1. Xiumin maknae comment at EXO's Secret Night at Lotte World (April 1st, 2016) Video clips in the tweets https://t.co/hiEUqxQ2ZD https://t.co/uPOVR9by2W [/tweet] 민ì„: ë…œ 안녕하세요 ì—‘ì†Œì˜ ë§‰ë‚´!!시우민입니다~네 다들알다시피 ê±°ì§“ë§í•´ë°§ëŠ”ë°ì—¬ ê·¸ëž˜ë„ íŽ˜ì´ìŠ¤ëŠ” 좀 막내같지 않나여? 요즘 ì—„ì²­ ë¨¹ê³ ìžˆê±°ë“ ì—¬ ~ì—„ì²­ 행복해요~ ì´ì œ ë³µëˆì€ 안녕ì´ì—ì—¬~~! — 첸사⚡ (@xiukachen) https://twitter.com/xiukachen/status/715908691610849280 Xiumin: Hello~. This is EXO's maknae (youngest), Xiumin. As you all know, it's a lie. But still don't you think my face looks like maknae a bit? These days I'm eating a lot. So I'm very happy. *laugh* Now it's goodbye to my six-packs~! *laugh* Somebody who's like a maknae, but who isn't a maknae: https://t.co/OEhqgaTply ---- Yesterday, I went to Lotte Cinema in front of Konkuk University, where Xiuminsum's birthday celebration ad is being played. It's till April 10th, so I maybe go there one more time. Here are my caps: http://meinesachen009.tumblr.com/video_file/142097394295/tumblr_o4zfkjo1781uqlxks/480 http://meinesachen009.tumblr.com/video_file/142097394295/tumblr_o4zfkjo1781uqlxks/480 (I'm sorry I'm too lazy to learn how to upload tweet and tumblr videos properly and to adjust the video clip)
  2. I translated Xiumin's Nonno and Ray (Japanese magazines) interviews on p.535 in this thread. I was planning to translate a list of his words liked by his fans by today, but I decide to translate bit by bit because most people don't like to read a lengthy post, and I didn't have time to translate the whole (several pages) at once. So I will post here some of his best words one by one: Many K fans really liked the following part of his Singles interview, where he distinguishes taking on challenge from being greedy. Many say it's enlightening and makes us reflect on ourselves. Interviewer: I can really tell you like to be well prepared for anything you take on. Xiumin: I’m not all that stubborn or greedy of a person. But I’m not afraid of taking on a challenge when it is given to me. Taking on a challenge and being greedy for one is different. Working hard for what you want is a challenge, but greed is a problem of not being realistic. I already don’t have any time, but wanting to take on acting in movies and dramas on top of my activities with EXO would be greed. It isn’t realistic with my current schedule. I tend to be very aware of what I can and can’t do. (Source: http://itshysterie.tumblr.com/post/133593456648) +++++++++ Xiumin's Youtube birthday commercial:
  3. Chinese fans' birthday song to Xiumin: https://t.co/RtMIJBhObn https://twitter.com/mywarmspring326/status/713739534354132994 Xiumin's response to fans: "Although today's my birthday, it's also the 600th day of EXO-L. Let's go together far longer. Thank you." +++++++ Xiumin's signature & message to the fans at the Encore shows of EXOLuxion in Seoul (March 18 to 20): "Wouldn't it be great if it was always like today? ã…‹ Be careful since it's dark. Shine your way home with your EXO LED light."
  4. Also, there's a Youtube ad of Xiumin's birthday today (by The Salt Boy & The Xiutiful Boy). I've heard that it's going to be randomly played when you play any Youtube video, but I haven't found anybody who's seen it yet. Yesterday, I went to a cinema that plays Xiumin's birthday ad by Xiuminsum (the location is close to EXO's residence) before a movie starts, but I arrived there late just after the actual movie started, so I couldn't see his ad. (my whole purpose of going to that cinema). But his birthday ad is going to be played till early April, so I will be going there again prob. early next week. One of Xiumin's home masters, Schnee326, who mostly post videos had a small online video exhibition last night. Unfortunately, I was a bit sick so I went to bed early last night, couldn't watch it. But today I watched some of her short clips of Xiumin during EXO Luxion from 2015 to 2016. They are really good, so I think you guys would enjoy them, too. https://twitter.com/SCHNEE326
  5. I think it's during this encore concert in March. The stage is just the view from Sim's seat acc. to fans attending the concert. Ooops sorry. I added Q5 to Q7. I must have forgotten to copy & paste it from my translation file.
  6. Sim Jaewon, SM's head choreographer posted Xiumin's cat-dance in his instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BDZzukCx__b/ Two hundred faces of Xiumin: ++ And a celebration fanart by dyaldial Xiumin's birthday ad. at the concert hall in Shanghai https://twitter.com/jaewon83281/status/713616934953050112 https://twitter.com/jaewon83281/status/713616934953050112
  7. I found a Korean translation of his Nonno interview at Twitter: https://twitter.com/xiu_0326_xiu/status/700553745218678784 and also an interview at another magazine (Ray, 2016 April issue). Here's my translation. Xiumin interview, Nonno 2016 April issue Q1: What has the first Japanese magazine shoot been like? Xiu: I worked hard to show my best to Japanese fans in this first shoot. Q2: Which part of your body do you like best? Xiu: My eyes and legs. Though I have mono-lids, my eyes are big and I have long legs although I’m not tall. (laugh) Q3: What do you consider important for your hair-styling? Xiu: Variety. I don’t want to be conservative! Q4: What’s your favorite scent? Xiu: Whether it’s a shampoo or body cream, I tend to choose one with a blueberry scent unconsciously. Q5: What are the 3 words that describe EXO? Xiu: Universe, pioneer, and EXO-L EXOs are stars from the Universe and pioneers that keep renewing a number of records. And EXO-Ls are precious beings who follow such EXO. Q6: If you were dating a fan for a day (what would you do)? Xiu: Rather than having a one-to-one date, I’d enjoy Q&As like this while having a meal with a lot of fans. Q7: If you want to experience another job just for a day? Xiu: Since I love bakery and coffee, I’d like to be a barista or a patissier. Q8: What’s the work of Japanese culture that you are the most impressed with (enjoy the most)? Xiu: Bleach, Hunter Hunter, and Dragon Ball...as expected animations. I watch them while moving around to study Japanese as well. My favorite is One Piece. In particular, I like Ace, I want to be the Ace in EXO! Q9: Who is your hero? Xiu: TVXQ sunbaes! When I saw TVXQ sunbaes singing the Rising Sun, I thought ‘I want to be a great singer like them!’ That was what had me get in this world [Trans: i.e. entertainment business], and I cannot be described without TVXQ. Also TVXQ can’t be talked about without Japan. So I feel close to Japan and have wanted to perform in Japan more than anybody else. I can confidently say that I like TVXQ as much as any Japanese TVXQ fans. Chen's interview that mentioned Xiumin: Q: Who’s your hero? Chen: Xiumin-hyung and Suho-hyung, They solve problems when members have worries. They are the heroes that we can really rely on. Xiumin-hyung is a Superman and Suho-hyung is a Batman? But they get along very well unlike Superman and Batman in the movie (laugh). Xiumin, Ray 2016 April Issue (I can't find the questions for these answers.) 1. Energy. I like doing things with full of energy. When you do things, do it full, and when you don’t, just do nothing (laugh)! And diligence and hard-working are what I feel confidence for. I’m the only morning person among the members, and I get up 2 hours before we need to go out and wake up the others. I pursue ‘doing things without a rush.’ 2. Work out (Looking at the front-page pic of TVXQ in Ray April 2014). I’d like to make my body like Changmin sunbae’s. I also exercise to stay healthy. I work out at the gym following the instructions of the trainer. 3. Changmin-hyung. Probably the only friend and sunbae in the show business world. I’d like to hug him when I see him! 4. Into your world. Because it’s a lovely song that says ‘I want to fall in you and enter in your world.’ 5. >.< I like this emoticon because it’s cute and seems like showing aegyo. 6. Aishiteru (I love you in Japanese). This is the precious Japanese phrase that I memorized to deliver my mind to Japanese fans. 7. Who would you date if you were a girl? Xiu: Chen. Because he's considerate and sensible, so he catches well what the other person wants at the moment. Therefore I think he will take good care of his girlfriend. While I'm neat, he's neater than I am, so I like him in that regard too. Baekhyun chose Xiumin for this question: BH: Xiumin. At the first glance, he looks like a kid, but in fact he’s got mighty strength and a good body. He’s neat and considerate. He does everything for you when he’s around you: He cooks ramen for you and cleans up for you. So if I were a girl, I would choose Xiumin hyung as my boyfriend, though he might not like it. (laugh)
  8. Yeah, his high school itself was one of the top schools in his city...actually maybe the top or the 2nd top while he was attending there but not as good now. Heard he was among the top students at his middle school but wasn't as good at the high school, but still he was among academically advanced students and was very good at math. If I find a Korean translation of the Non-no interview, I will translate it into English. Unfortunately I'm pretty illiterate in Japanese.
  9. Translation: K**_8o8 A friend of mine transferred to a school where Minseok’s homeroom teacher in his 2nd year at highschool worked. Last year he became her homeroom teacher and told them many anecdotes of Xiumin. As is famous, Xiumin was in the advanced math class but he often asked permissions to skip night self-study hours [trans: Many high school students especially in academic classes have to remain at school till late night to study] to prepare for his singing career. However, the teacher rarely permitted it telling him what a science-track guy would do with a singing career. K**_8o8 I think (my friend) said that he often wanted to skip night classes at school to go to his lessons, but I can’t remember...ah, I’m stupid. And the teacher was surprised to find out Minseok indeed has become a singer. Loooool He wasn’t a very visible student, but he was a hard-working student (=studied hard). And the teacher was surprised to see he has become so good-looking... X**_**0326 Ah...studied hard ...Ah K**_8o8 If Minseok were my tutor ... (if not... X**_**0326 If Minseok were my night-class teacher ... (if not... ====== I didn't translate the remaining comments because they were just surprised by their chat being retweeted by so many others.
  10. She's his cousin on his father's side (her last name is Kim as well). She and her older sister played string instruments (prob. violin and cello) for one of the performances (not sure it was EXO's--my memory kind of fails me at this moment) at SBS Gayodaejeon. I've heard that Minseok took his eyes from his dad, as you can see there's definitely family resemblance. There have been other accounts related to his relatives, including his other cousins, uncle and aunt etc. but this one was the first time with an actual legit proof. In the instagram post, she said "It's the privilege of being the same blood, with Xiumin oppa." (She's his younger cousin--but she's not his sister.) A video clip every Xiumin fan should watch:
  11. Although I translated the twitter accounts on Xiumin's friends by this fan (Baekhyun fan), some K fans are saying that her accounts are not very reliable since she included some unreliable stories (nothing bad really but just a bit unbelievable compliments on BH and DO, which would be impossible to overhear during the really loud show unless you yell out those words--and she is a BH-DO shipper). So I want to warn about the credibility of this account. However, it's true that his friends indeed came and there was also an account that some of his other childhood friends visited on the 2nd day as well. I saw a passing account that his sister came to the last day show (probably separately) which included a brief account of her appearance (very pretty it said) but have seen other accounts that his sister is not as pretty as Xiumin looool, so I'm not sure. But I think his sister indeed came--prob. his parents as well (most other members' families come to the concert one day or another)-- every year. Fans know he's very protective of his sister so they never dare to take photos of her or give detailed accounts of her. I think it is good to remain thus for any celebrity's family: some distorted people indeed take too much interest in or even attack families of entertainers. Today Xiumin went to Suho's Glory Day preview along with DO, Chen, Baekhyun and Chanyeol. And he overcame his handsync habit.
  12. His friend's instagram translation: https://www.instagram.com/p/BDLKLbgh-Ml/ click_no1shout to my homeboy오늘 ê³ ìƒ ë§Žì•˜ê³ ì œì¼ ì„¹ì‹œí•œ 친구 ê·¸ë¦¬ê³ ìƒì¼ì€ 미리 축하한다! ì•„ ê·¸ë¦¬ê³ ì•¼ê´‘ë´‰ ë¹Œë ¤ì£¼ì‹ ë¶„ë“¤..ê°ì‚¬í•©ë‹ˆë‹¤.. #엑소 #시우민 "You worked hard today, the sexiest friend. And happy birthday in advance!" PS: Ah, and many thanks to the fans who rented us the light sticks.
  13. Today as you know, Japanese fans had an airship floating over the concert hall for three hours. I don't know whether Xiumin saw it but many fans wowed and enjoyed the sight. "ë¹„í–‰ì„ (airship)" trended the K twitter today. [Edited] A video clip of the Xiuship A larger pic of the airship: Also, here's a Xiumin birthday celebration map made by a Xiumin fan: If you happen to visit Korea in March, you can go to some of these places:
  14. Hey, guys. Somebody told me that Xiumin's Singles interview has been already translated into English. I read the translation and it was really well done. Since I can't repost her work, please go to this link and read it: http://itshysterie.tumblr.com/post/133593456648 Then, I will work on the Xiumin Talk post where his fans posted his words that moved them. Also, I've already received messages from two fans who live in warm places and told them that I will send the winter albums. ================= Since you guys seem to be curious of his friends attending the concert this time. 1. Actor Yu Seungho, who played the main role, Kim Seondal, in the movie along with Xiumin, came to the concert on the 2nd day. https://twitter.com/Zaileigh09/status/710990313217662977 2. It seems his hometown friends (who are invited every year) came as well today along with his sister. Warning Added] Although I translated the twitter accounts on Xiumin's friends by this fan, some K fans are saying that her accounts are not very reliable since she included some unreliable stories (nothing bad really but just a bit unbelievable compliments on BH and DO supposedly made by his friends, which would be impossible to overhear during the really loud show unless you yell out those words--and she is a BH-DO shipper). So I want to warn about the credibility of this account. Also, judging from Xiumin friend's instagram, he seems to be a quiet, regular Korean guy who wouldn't be so talkative around strangers. And he seems very supportive of Xiumin (he was streaming Jimin's song Xiumin featured to support his activity...loool in one of his instagram posts). ====== Accounts on Xiumin's friends: https://twitter.com/5g_5g/status/711481846136057856 During the club time when Xiumin was running around topless, his friends were saying: "It's worth he has worked out so hard. He's running around with no clothes on. We should give him some rubs after the show." kkkkkkkkkkkkkk It was so funny kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk https://twitter.com/5g_5g/status/711491029166268416 When Minseok didn't make eye-contacts to them, the friends seemed very disappointed and complained. "That guy's got strange eyes." (I think they were referring not to the shape but to the function--not looking at them maybe: Xiumin might have been a bit embarrassed to act as a flirtatious sexy performer on the stage while his old buddies watching him) Warning Added] Although I translated the twitter accounts on Xiumin's friends by this fan, some K fans are saying that her accounts are not very reliable since she included some unreliable stories (nothing bad really but just a bit unbelievable compliments on BH and DO supposedly made by his friends, which would be impossible to overhear during the really loud show unless you yell out those words--and she is a BH-DO shipper). So I want to warn about the credibility of this account.
  15. Xiumin was a cat. https://twitter.com/xiua_nuna/status/711217366235938816 He tried to wear the costume on the first day but failed to do so on time.
  16. I will try to translate both one by one, but I'm not sure if I will be able to finish both before his birthday. But I'll finish at least one by his birthday. I want to do something on his birthday for international Xiumin fans.
  17. Hello, Jam here again. I had a sudden rush of work at both my job and home and kept me from posting here sooner. I haven't yet received any messages from a person living in the place that has no winter. Please send me your address to my messenger please and I will send you two winter albums to the first two people. As for the translation, I wonder if his Singles interview (the magazine he was featured with Baekhyun last December) has been translated into English--it's probably the longest interview made by him and I think it reveals his character well. Also there was a lengthy post last winter at Xiumin Talk in Nate PANN where fans posted Xiumin's words that they thought the best. I could translate either of them or others if you want to read. Please let me know. Xiumin Yesterday Xiumin Today "It would be really good if it were always like today, wouldn't it? k" He wrote here. Xiucat dancing and singing "Lucky" (It seems I don't know how to link twitter clips, so here's the link.) https://twitter.com/xiua_nuna/status/711221886407954432
  18. I've seen a few: 1. Thai EXO fans sang the birthday song to Xiumin: Click here to view the Tweet 태국 ì—‘ì†Œì—˜ì‚¬ì–¸ë‹ˆë“¤ã… ã… ì˜ˆìœëª©ì†Œë¦¬ë¡œ 노래불러줘서 ê°ì‚¬í•´ìš”HBD #XIUMIN#WelcomeEXOtoThailand #WelcomeXIUMINtoThailand #민ì„ì•„_섹시해서_ì½”í”¼ë‚˜ì§€ê² ì—‰ pic.twitter.com/559KCMc2qk — EXO.XIUMIN.MAMA (@EXOXIUMINMAMA) March 8, 2016 2.

His reaction when he saw Thai fans' slogan: "Minseok-ah, my nose is bleeding because you're too sexy." https://twitter.com/hashtag/%EB%AF%BC%EC%84%9D%EC%95%84_%EC%84%B9%EC%8B%9C%ED%95%B4%EC%84%9C_%EC%BD%94%ED%94%BC%EB%82%98%EC%A7%80%EA%B2%A0%EC%97%89?src=hash Omgsee his emotional reactionthe first time he saw it.https://twitter.com/hashtag/XIUMIN?src=hashhttps://twitter.com/hashtag/WelcomeXIUMINtoThailand?src=hash -1- https://t.co/4k7yPYtbio — EXO.XIUMIN.MAMA (@EXOXIUMINMAMA) ">Click here to view the Tweet
  19. Hello, it's been a long while for me. How have you all been, Xiumin fans? Since Minseok's birthday is coming, I'd like to hold a small event for Xiumin fans this year as well. This time, I'd like to send two Xiumin fans living in the places that never snow EXO's two winter CDs (Miracles of December -Chinese version, and Sing for you- Korean Version because they have Xiumin's voices). The reason is that, as you know in his interview in December 2013, to whom he wants to dedicate EXO's first winter album (MoD), he answered to those living in the places where winter never comes. So if you still do not have those Winter CDs, and live in warm or hot places on the globe, please let me know by the end of this weekend, 13th of March, so that I can prepare those and send you guys before his birthday. Secondly, if there is any Korean content related to Xiumin but cannot read it because it hasn't been translated yet, please let me know. Although it's busy time for me, I will try to translate at least one lengthy (or a few short ones) at your request before his coming birthday.
  20. A Chucky too pretty to be scary As of 1:30am, Oct. 30 now Xiumin's OST hit No. 6 at Melon chart, No. 3 at Mnet, and No. 1 at Genie. His songs are high probably because it's early morning so non-fans are sleeping mostly. Still it's quite a good start since other fandoms are busy with streaming for the year-end awards and very popular singers like IU and Taeyeon have songs in the chart as well.
  21. This is what I've found in the twitter: https://soundcloud.com/k2nblog23/xiumin-exo-you-are-the-one But if you want to purchase a streaming/downloading right, here are the three music sites in Korea (downloading a song is 600 Won, about 50 cents.) Melon: http://www.melon.com/album/detail.htm?albumId=2647818 Mnet: http://mnet.com/album/505925 Genie: http://www.genie.co.kr/Detail/f_Album_Info.asp?axnm=80731079
  22. I think you guys are already watching the subbed episodes, but if you have time and do Facebook, I hope you can also go this site and "like" each episode. Thank you. ep.1 https://www.facebook.com/samsung/videos/897770840277419 ep. 2 https://www.facebook.com/samsung/videos/vb.111668955554282/897850333602803 ep. 3 https://www.facebook.com/samsung/videos/vb.111668955554282/898805800173923/?type=2&theater ep. 4 https://www.facebook.com/samsung/videos/899423736778796/ Samsung facebook: https://www.facebook.com/samsung/ So far, I think Falling for Challenge has more than 6 million views with all 4 episodes combined. Each episode of the drama has been prompted up the most interested video at Naver TVcast everyday so far. Also, we'll have his OST released at major digital streaming sites midnight today (K time). I'm so happy now that I can hear the whole song with a good sound quality.
  23. What Xiumin wore today to become murderous Chucky are: He's turned these cute Mango T-shirt and jeans into this sexy brutality: with Kai with other members at the party:
  24. Maryan, Glad you're still following Xiumin and Chen! I'm sorry to hear you've got a bad day but bad days always pass as good days as well...I think it's part of our life. I don't know about you, but part of me that always gets inspired by Xiumin and roots for Xiumin is that he seems to have the quality that I admire but I don't have. He seems to know his limits, so when he sets a goal it always seems to be step by step and he does achieve it. As we know, he was not the most talented guy in EXO but with singing and acting, he always surprises us, performs beyond our expectation. When he does something, he's always prepared probably based on his hard work. I want to be as organized as he is, knowing my bounds and challenging myself step by step not trying to have and be high-up all of sudden, chewing off more than my share. Anyway, whatever your difficulty is I believe if it's what you really wants and if you work hard toward it step by step, you will get what you set out to do (though maybe it might be a tad difficult to be his wife--there are too many competitors )
  25. Since Samsung blog has links to youtube, I think you guys can watch all the episodes from here. https://blog.samsung.com/fallinchallenge/ If you watch through facebook or twitter, please share or "like" it too. Because I was watching the drama, I couldn't watch the backstage show on V-App but just very at the end, but people are saying Xiumin talked a lot and very well. I think he was basically the MC there. Also, a reporter tweeted an encouraging comment on Xiumin's acting: https://twitter.com/kjkj803/status/658575085637255168 Click here to view the Tweet 'ë„ì „ì— ë°˜í•œ' ì‹œìš°ë¯¼ì˜ ë„ì „ì„ ì‘ì›í•˜ëŠ” ì´ìœ . ë”ë„ë§ê³ ëœë„ë§ê³ ë”± 잘한다. 그가 ìˆ˜ë§Žì€ íŒ¬ë“¤ì˜ ì§€ì§€ë¥¼ ë°›ì„ ìˆ˜ë°–ì— ì—†ëŠ” ë§¤ë ¥ì´ ìžˆë‹¤. ì¢‹ì€ ì—­í• ì„ ë§¡ì€ ë§Œí¼, 사실 ì§€ê¸ˆë„ ê¸°ëŒ€ ì´ìƒì´ì§€ë§Œ, ë” ë°œì „í• ê²ƒ ê°™ì€ ì˜ˆê° â€” 김주현 (@kjkj803) October 26, 2015 *Trans: The reason why rooting for Xiumin's challenge in 'Falling for Challenge'. He does well just as much as required. He has appeals that cannot but draw supports from a huge number of fans. As he's got a good role, and though he's doing better than expectation, it's predicted he'll further improve I think this is a good assessment. From what I've seen, his expressions are very good and his acting is overall quite good and getting better towards the end even his articulation and all. To be honest (and I might b a bit biased), his acting is much better than many well-known Korean star actors in their first dramas. But we'll see more of him later. Also, he sang so beautifully of the OST. If Eng subs do not come up by this Friday, I'll try to find time to sub them in the coming weekend.
