It will be interesting to see if he reapplies to the Police Promotional Unit. They do a lot of performances as part of their work, and it does seem like a perfect fit for Sungmin. But their applicatio

Reasons why I love Lee Sungmin (Part 1)

 

 

Great voice (singing AND speaking), yes. Talented, yes. Handsome, yes. Cute, yes. Sexy, yes. Manly with a touch of femininity, yes. Voluptuous ass and honey thighs, yes.
But there's so much more to Lee Sungmin than what I've just mentioned.

1. he's righteous
-there was a hidden camera where sungmin protected a high school girl from bullies. i loved the protective side he showed by actually pulling her away from the bullies and keeping her safe until the end, but what impressed me the most was that he continued to use formal speech and kept his manners even when he fired up at the bullies. btw, notice the word HIDDEN CAMERA. hidden camera=REAL side revealed

-Jia from Miss-A once talked about sungmin when she was on sukira. she was supposed to choose either ryeowook or sungmin to DJ with her, and she chose sungmin. ryeowook asked why, she answered that she has a good impression on sungmin, and here's her story. there was some after-party (for MAMA or something) a few years ago, with idols drinking and dancing and having fun etc. but then there was this foreign male dancer who took interest in Jia, so he apparently made some sexual advances at her. she was getting really uncomfortable, not wanting any of it, not knowing what to do etc, and that was when sungmin came to lead her away from the dancer. according to Jia, sungmin "rescued" her from the situation, acting all natural n stuff lol n when Jia was finished with the story, the other Miss-A members were cooing like omg he's the man XDD (i know how u feel, girls) sungmin said that he was really angry at that time when he saw what was happening to Jia

2. he's reliable
-during sukira one day, a listener complained about how people weren't paying much attention to her or something along those lines, n sungmin was like "it might be that they see you as a reliable person and they trust you enough to think that you can do stuff on your own". he said that he also once felt like the managers weren't paying as much attention as they did to other members, so he'd asked why when they were having a drink together, and the managers said it's cuz sungmin's reliable, they know that he takes good care of himself and doesn't need instructions to get things done every single time

3. he's selfless
-siwon once said in his skip-beat interview that, when kyuhyun came in as the new member of SJ, sungmin was the one who accepted kyuhyun with open arms n had the latter's back from the very beginning. remember, sungmin was the third best vocalist in SJ before kyuhyun came in, n having kyuhyun in SJ wasn't really the greatest thing that could have happened to sungmin cuz he had to give up his position. what's more, when the issue about 13th member was being discussed, almost 10 members out of 12 opposed the idea. one of those who didn't oppose was sungmin. and of course, i don't blame those who did oppose, they were already unstable, titled as nothing more than a "project group" that didn't have a promised future, and having so many members meant less credit for each one of them, so introducing another member obviously got them anxious. but despite all that, sungmin was willing to welcome kyuhyun

-there was a fanaccount of SJ pre-recording (i can't remember exactly when but a couple of years ago). they had a few takes and sungmin was monitoring the performance with the PD. he was discussing how the camera work can be improved, n said to the cameraman that the camera shouldn't capture him at certain points but should capture the whole picture instead. most idols want the camera to capture them as many times as possible, but sungmin's the kind of guy that thinks first about the group's performance and how it would be viewed by the audience, rather than his own appearance on TV

-ryeowook once said on sukira that sungmin's the member who gives way to others most of the times. ryeowook thinks that, for a group to function well and build strong bond, members shouldn't persist on their own ways n they should respect each other's opinions. he said that SJ doing as good as they are now is 80% thanks to sungmin

-there was an overseas interview about sungmin being the leader of SJ-M. sungmin was being modest by saying that he's just taken the role of leader simply cuz he's the oldest out of SJ-M members, but siwon commented that they tease sungmin about his age n stuff but actually, the reason why sungmin suits the role of leader is cuz he's the member who can sacrifice himself the most for the sake of his team

-there was this time when SJ went overseas for a concert n sungmin had to share a room with heechul. heechul talked about this on his radio broadcast. he couldn't sleep that night cuz sungmin was snoring. so the next day, he said to sungmin "hey, sungmin, did you know you were snoring last night", he just said it in passing, like a joke. but then sungmin must have taken it seriously, cuz he didn't snore that night. heechul woke up in the morning n said to sungmin "hey, you didn't snore last night" n sungmin replied "yeah, hyung, i didn't sleep actually..." i mean, wtf dude, who sacrifices his precious sleep (especially more precious for sungmin cuz he's the type of guy who needs at least 6 hours sleep per day) just for his hyung to sleep better?

-during idol athletic championship 2011, sungmin participated in a 100m race. Baek Chungkang was also one of the participants n when the race began, this guy was on the lead but in mid way, he tripped n fell down (crashed down, more like;; it seriously looked like it must have hurt real bad). sungmin was running with full speed but as soon as he saw the guy on the ground, he halted right away n ran back towards Chungkang, giving up his own race just like that. he supported Chungkang until the latter was taken away by staffs, n then finished the race. of course he was the last to finish it n the only one left on the track but omg you have no idea how proud i was of him XD sungmin was the hero all over the internet that day XDDD

4. he's a bit of a perfectionist
-he's known for being quick in improving his performance based on feedback. he does a musical performance, fans say he was a little shaky in diction, he fixes it right away and the next day fans say he had a perfect diction this time. i felt this myself too for some performances

-kyuhyun said on radio star that sungmin's the guest that star king would love to have on the show cuz if they give him a mission, like performing magic or dancesport, he would practice it over and over again until he masters it like a professional

-he once scolded himself and felt sorry cuz he made a mistake on the Blue World stage in Osaka (he fell down, and i tell you, it's damn hard not to fall down like that when you're thrown almost 2m up in the air;;)

5. he's professional
-we all know what happened to leeteuk's family when he was in the military...at that time, sungmin was hella busy with schedule so he was exhausted n even feeling sick, so managers told him to go to the hospital but he chose to stay with leeteuk and members at the funeral. he had TTM performance right after that, n everyone was worried that he might not do so well, but he pulled it off just as well as the other days. i remember vitaMINs being very proud of him

-he looked so tired during Swing promotions, but whenever he got up on the stage, he was full-on brilliant n flawless

-during Mamacita promotions, he had a stye so had to have a patch over his left eye, which meant he was half blind n still he managed to give us his 100% on stage

6. he's disciplined
-members said on zhoumi's radio broadcast that sungmin's the FM type of guy. he sticks to a regular pattern of lifestyle (a very healthy one, i might add), n he rarely breaks rules

7. he's caring
-when ryeowook first joined SJ, he was a bit of a loner cuz he hadn't spent much time as a trainee n so there hadn't been enough chance to socialize with other members who were all older than him. he was a little awkward n stuff, but it was sungmin who approached him first, suggesting to practice together or just have a chat etc. ryeowook said he still remembers how he and sungmin used to sing together in a small practice room. ryeowook thanked sungmin for making it easier for him to get closer to other members n always being there for him to listen to his problems or sometimes even solving his problems for him too. ryeowook wrote all this in a letter for sungmin, n read it out on sukira once. sungmin said he was touched, n posted the letter itself on his blog later

-there was this time when sungmin was looking rather down during a music show in bonamana era (well, in this era, he was looking depressed in general but anyway). fans were worried about him so asked everyone who might know something, including his fellow musical actors. and the musical actor replied to fans' tweets that sungmin was upset that day cuz he was worried about kyuhyun who'd just had an ear surgery n couldn't attend the show with the others (this was really sweet, not to mention it made joyers cry in happiness)

-we know that ryeowook is known as the chef of SJ, always making food to feed the kids (yes, heechul, that includes you). but apparently sungmin does this too from time to time, though not as much as ryeowook of course lol he once said on sukira that he made red bean porridge that day for the members to eat, n ryeowook responded by saying "he really cares for members like this" it might not sound like a big deal, but hell, it's still cute

-ryeowook once described sungmin as a "medicine kit". he said that sungmin's always there to take care of him whenever he's feeling sick, whether physically or mentally

-during a super show concert (was it Gwangzhou or Shanghai, i can't remember), DKRYS were performing In My Dream. the stage must have been a little slippery. kyuhyun was the first to sing his part n started walking to the front but he slipped a little on the way, so he decided to take off his shoes, leave them there on the stage n continue walking barefoot. sungmin was the next to follow, n he saw the shoes left behind by kyuhyun. he was about to pass by the shoes, but then he turned around n crouched down to rearrange the shoes so that when kyuhyun returned, it would be easier to put them back on. n that wasn't the end of it. when the performance was over n they were all returning to their original spots, sungmin reached the shoes first, waited until kyuhyun got there too n held out his hand for kyuhyun to grab so that he could prevent kyuhyun from slipping while the latter put his shoes back on (kyuhyun decided to just carry the shoes, but still, they held hands n joyers were happy okay). it's not easy to turn your mind to every single detail n care for such little things unless you do it all the time, so the whole incident showed me that it must be habitual for sungmin to care for people like that. plus, it's a beautiful kyumin moment too, check it out on youtube lol

-sungmin's a good roommate as well. kyuhyun said in an interview that sungmin's a very considerate person who didn't even complain about all the loud gaming noises kyuhyun made at night. sungmin goes to sleep early unlike kyuhyun who stays up playing games. kyuhyun said he asked if it bothered sungmin, n sungmin would say "no, it's fine, you can do what you like, don't mind me". sungmin on sukira also talked about having a roommate, saying that he doesn't want to disturb kyuhyun's sleep so when he comes home late or when he has to wake up earlier than kyuhyun to leave for schedule, he takes all his clothes, goes out of their shared room quietly, n gets changed outside. n of course, ryeowook didn't miss the chance to comment "how considerate of you" XD

-there was a fanaccount n even a video clip on youtube where members were pre-recording n sungmin told the fans not to sit on cold floor

-according to a fanaccount at a fansign event, sungmin asked the staffs if he could change the table to a smaller one cuz he thought the big table between him and the fans was making it harder for the fans to interact with him

-there are also people saying that sungmin treated his anti-fans to lunch once, but i'm not sure if it's legit

I'll pause here for now, but this is just the first part, i'm coming back with more (if anyone's interested, that is;;;)

Reasons why I love Lee Sungmin (Part 2)

 

 

*continuation from previous post
7. he's caring
-one of the girls in Rooftop Moonlight said on sukira that sungmin's the type of guy who cares n thinks about other people's feelings before making a remark, so the way he speaks to people is lovely, using nice n kind words. and yes, i agree, i might be a little biased, but when he speaks, it's the same korean but he sounds much softer than some others

-there was this musical newbie (can't remember his name) who was in the same cast as sungmin, n he was invited as a guest to sukira once. ryeowook asked him about sungmin as the musical sunbae (senior), n the newbie said sungmin seemed a little cold at first, but he thought wrong cuz sungmin turned out to be a caring guy who would approach hoobae (junior) first to give advice etc

-sungmin had a fight with the manager once, n here's the story. sungmin was keen on learning stuffs, n he wanted to study Japanese more. so he signed up for Japanese lessons at a random language school without telling the managers. the Japanese classes were really early in the morning cuz he had schedule during the day etc (ryeowook said that all the members admired sungmin for being so motivated to study even at such an ungodly hour). it's not surprising that he was getting physically tired. the manager noticed it n found out about sungmin's Japanese classes. the manager wasn't exactly mad at sungmin for studying with non-celebrities (i mean, what's wrong with that) but scolded him for wasting energy like that. the manager said sungmin should have told the managers so that they could arrange with the company for a special tutor at a time convenient n less exhausting for sungmin. n sungmin retorted that if he asked the managers to find a special tutor for him, the managers would have to go through a hard time trying to reschedule everything just cuz of him, that's why he just chose to do it on his own. from then on, the managers made it a habit to ask from time to time whether there's something sungmin wants to learn. well, what can i say, like celebrity, like manager?^^

-at the overseas interview about sungmin being the SJ-M leader (i've mentioned it in previous post), henry said that sungmin takes good care of the members. sungmin would be the first person to wake up n get the other members ready in the morning, n he would also scold them when something's not right etc

-donghae said at a show champion interview that sungmin often checks up on how the members are doing, asking whether they're feeling sick or not etc, and those times are when donghae feels like "ah, he really is our hyung"

-during filming for SJ-M Guesthouse preview, the photographer was up on a ladder to take photos of sungmin. when they were done with photos, sungmin grabbed onto the ladder so that it wouldn't wobble n told the photographer "you can climb down now". even these little things don't go unnoticed in lee sungmin's eyes lol

-on sukira, sungmin once said that keeping girls far from the road or stopping the passenger from falling forward when the car comes to an abrupt halt is basic manners

8. he's kind
-before SJ's debut, there was this girl who came in for audition at SM. she realized that she lost or forgot her wallet n started panicking, so she couldn't do well for the audition. she did miserably in front of the judges, nothing was working out for her that day, so she was really upset n was crying. then this guy approached her n asked her what's wrong, n when she told him what happened, he comforted her, saying everything's gonna be okay, n gave her some money so she could get a ride back home. she knew he was a trainee at SM, so she wanted to find out who he was, n later figured out that the guy's name was Lee Sungmin. after about a year, he debuted as a member of SJ n she became an ELF. this is what she said about sungmin before debut, i'm not sure if this is legit, but if it is, then kudos to gentleman sungmin

-a member of One More Chance complimented sungmin on a radio broadcast once, saying that sungmin's a really really really kind person (he actually said "really" three times lol)

-leader of Ooh-La-La Session (now deceased) was an acquaintance of sungmin from pre-debut period. the leader wrote an autobiography, and there was a paragraph that specifically mentioned sungmin, saying that sungmin's the kindest celebrity he's ever met. the leader added that, people who are just kind n nothing more aren't very useful, but sungmin's the type that has talent at the same time as being kind, so he would definitely succeed in the future

-there are so many radio guests n musical actors that complimented sungmin on his kindness, n i won't mention every single one of them cuz my god that'll take me forever

-sungmin doesn't just sit around until everything's ready for him. he helps out the staffs, like in sukira and sstp (from small things such as hanging banners etc). he does it like it's nothing, n vitaMINs always say "well, as expected of sungmin, it's not that surprising". writers for EHB also commented on the programme homepage that sungmin usually helped with preparation of filming n clearing up after filming, regardless of whether the camera was on or off (sungmin would do that during breaks as well, n members apparently teased him for that, telling him to stop pretending to be so nice n take a break when it's time for break). one of the EHB staffs described sungmin as "sunshine" n such a loveable person

-there was a small car accident some years ago. a middle-aged lady was driving her car into a car park n there was a car coming from the opposite direction. the cars slightly bumped into each other, leaving some scratch. some guy got off from the opposite car n the lady was afraid that he would growl at her, but to her surprise, he knocked on her window, apologized n asked if she was hurt. she got off her car as well, n they both called their insurance companies. while waiting for response, they had a chat, n the lady found out that the guy was from a famous idol group, SJ. she apparently was shocked to know that an idol could be so polite n kind (cuz she had a stereotype that idols n other celebrities were a bit arrogant n full of themselves). the lady asked for an autograph n he gave her one. needless to say, this guy turned out to be sungmin, n the lady's son posted the story on a public forum along with the photo of sungmin's autograph received that day, saying that they were both touched by his kindness n down-to-earth attitude

9. he's pleasant to be around
-writers of Oppa Band commented that sungmin was everybody's favourite on the set, including the seniors n staffs. everybody liked jungmo as well, but there's this subtle difference. one of the staffs said that, if jungmo was to hurt his finger while playing his guitar, the staffs would be worried n give him band-aids etc, and if sungmin was to hurt his finger the same way, everybody would rush to him to see if he's okay n would try to put the band-aids on him themselves (this is cuter if you imagine it lol). the only explanation i can think of for this is cuz sungmin was being nice to everybody in the first place (i'm not saying jungmo wasn't btw, of course he was too, but maybe at a different level?)

10. he's modest
-there was an interview about sungmin's JTR musical. the journalist who wrote the article said that sungmin was such a modest n polite person even though he was a super star of a worldly scale. i admit that the article might have "beautified" it, but then we all know sungmin's modest n polite XD in the same interview, the journalist asked him if he had any good advice as musical sunbae for ryeowook, n he'd commented that he wasn't exactly at a sufficient level to advise ryeowook on musical yet

This is it for today, though i've got more (yes, i do) XDDD
