Regarding the Dream Concert 2010
SNSD YHS's Statement of Position
----------0----------
 "It is an ettiqutte that has been in place for the past 15 years
Since this is a paid performance, there is substantial way of reserving seats by ELF
However, fanclub blocks are blocks made for fanclubs to join together and enjoy together(it is easiest to think of supporters of football or baseball)
If there are people coming to the Super Junior block of LMNP, we request that you have the manners to cheer for SuJu.
[In turn] ELF will also cheer for all the singers appearing at Dream Concert as one.
-Extract from "Statement of Position of Super Junior fans ELF regarding Dream Concert 2010"
----------0----------
Hello we are the SNSD YHS.
While we are already aware of the emotional conflict between fandoms caused by the unique "Color Mixing" in the LMNP blocks and ABC blocks, there were certain incidents that we could not seriously take as part of reasonable emotional in-fighting caused by fans feeling uncomfortable. Thus, the joint-site must take the following position.
At the location of the Dream Concert on May 22, we saw both faces of fandom. ELFs requested the SNSD fandom that if they were sitting in LMNP, that they should have the courtesy to support Super Junior and that ELFs would support all singers appearing in Dream Concert as one. But this was overshadowed by ELFs on location who used the advantage of numbers and were almost like a gang.
We inform you that for all statements below, there is evidence including transcripts and video.
The first is the issue of multiple SNSD fans with LMNP block tickets who were foricbly ejected from their seats. While there were specific circumstances in different location, even from before the concert and even during performances of other singers, there were instructions of "Get down xx" and "Turn that glowstick off xx", and there were direct personal rants aimed at seated fans that were close to personal assault. Thus, some fans were forced to leave their seats that they had tickets for and had to watch the rest of the concert in the aisle of the second floor. In particular, female fans received such abuse that one would not dare utter with their own mouths that they gave up on watching the concert and left before SNSD performed, and in one section, there was a systematic denial of access to the LMNP block from the very beginning.
The above incidents were not organized by staff but were done by the Super Junior fandom, ELF. Unless SM had released a notice of recommendation to each fandom to purchase tickets from specific areas, there is no right to drive out people because they are not in your fandom when they have paid for their tickets as per procedure and are sitting in their ticketed seats. This (if it wasn't for a notice released to improve the outward appearance of a fandom) is a position that ELF would agree with and is the position held by the concert host, Yeon-Jae-Hyeob.
Moreover, what we found shocking and intolerable was the organized movement/effort to create a silence during SNSD's stage performance.
During Dream concert, a message originating from the third floor blocks, was spread via word of mouth and anonymous text messages along the lines of "A SONE has assaulted an ELF. So we will give SNSD's stage the 'ten minute'" [Tr. note: ten minute refers to the ten minutes of silent treatment given to SNSD during DC08].
More surprising was that in an environment where herd mentality would have been easy to stimulate, second floor fandoms including SHINee received organized messages during the concert saying "During SNSD's stage, do nothing and be silent".
With more of our fans were in attendance than before and cheering with all our strength and some fandoms, to whom we are truly thankful for, being well-mannered enough to cheer passionately, the result was that the harmful silence for SNSD's performance that the ELFs on location tried to plan did not occur. However, we must ask the ELFs present that day if this is how the Super Junior fandom, ELFs, express their own intimacy and how it is justifiable to direct expressions of tension between fandoms at artists on a stage.
For SNSD to taking the stage without knowing the situation, they may have heard the shouts from the audience as part of their supporting cheers, but we still cannot forget the image of people staying silent throughout the performance and picking lyrics not part of the fanchants (I told you not to fool around, you're no fun, you have no manners) to make screams that were close to cat-calls/booing, and the thorough manipulation of the atmosphere [with the instructions] so that glowsticks would be kept on to maintain the fandom image while not making any cheers[for SNSD].
No matter how great the reason, there is no justification in this instance for organizing a repeat of 'ten minute' which was traumatic for SNSD and their fans at Dream Concert 2008, and while it was not physical violence, no justification for the organised verbal abuse behind strength in numbers.
When other fandoms unite and cheer passionately as one for your own singer, it is something to be proud of and would be the envy all other fandoms. However, if this unity is used to intimidate other attendees and re-enact the behavior of the ELFs at Dream Concert 2010 towards singers who had worked their hardest to perform on stage, it appears to be a tyrannical gang, nothing more and nothing less.
Currently, in each community site, there are individual ELFs claiming SNSD fans bought tickets in their allocated LMNP blocks. In the face of forced ejections from paid ticketed seats, the organized verbal abuse on locations against SNSD including female fans, organized group silence during SNSD's performance, intentional fan chant interference etc, they are writing that there was no troublesome behavior and since this is completely false, we have decided not to be suspicious and think that this was the stance of Super Junior's representative fandom, ELF,
Just as there was a fast clarification of position during ticketing, we wish to hear a proper and offical statement from ELF clearly covering the wrongs that were committed, instead of accounts that have been written solely to improve the fandom image that are obviously just excuses.
Finally, despite the fact that many of the audience left the stadium early due to traffic, during final performance by Super Junior, many of the SNSD fandom were one of those that stayed until the end cheered supportively as much as we had for SNSD and were one of the fandoms.
This is a truth and fact that can be verified via self-portrait photographs and videos taken during the concert. We take full responsibility in this, and we hope that this will be enough to stop any gossip-like rumors about SNSD fans being the single group to leave during the Super Junior performance being forced on them.

-translation: oniontaker@soshified, oniontx@soompi

This is basically what happened during the Dream Concert 2010 but why are the sones still the one they are pointing out to be behaving badly???



And that is basically an image of an "ELF" calling the Sones an Oil Spill on their pure blue sea~~~~

Hey Dear Life

Uhm~~~ I dug up some of my archives today and saw this old song of mine~
I just wanna share it~
It's quite emo-ish, but I hope you like it~ enjoy ^___^

Hey Dear Life

Verse 1 (rap)

I dont even know if that image is me
Is that really the me that I'm supposed to be
The picture of a guy with no future to see
Covered with doubts which is as big as sea

I'm a wandering heart wanting some place to seat
Yet I wandered around the dark alley and street
wanting to see a light that would bring me heat
ending all up with just a pity to beat

This is the story of my life's fate
digging some love from morning till eight
hoping some change now that it's late
I dont understand until it turn to hate

Chorus:
Hey dear life, when would you bow down to me
With all these struggles, what am I suppose to see
every night, all cries oh~
hey dear life, when would you start loving me
I want you to be with me
I want to smile again, carefree~~

Verse 2: (rap)
If life or the time could just stay still
I could have known how does it really feel
Rather than misunderstanding and the feeling of ill
with all these worries about paying my bill

Glorious life is not what I'm asking
Normal life is what I'm dealing
Selling my soul with this life's gambling
But I ended with my self losing~

All I ever wanted is security
but I ended up with all impurity
Now I'm taking out my insecurity
Grooving it all out from my own diggity

Chorus:
Hey dear life, when would you bow down to me
With all these struggles, what am I suppose to see
every night, all cries oh~
hey dear life, when would you start loving me
I want you to be with me
I want to smile again, carefree~~

Hey dear life would you be with me
Dear life, Dear life~
oh~ I'm longing for you
and a single smile, carefree~

Change

"Change doesn't seem to be permanent… As Change Being Constant…"


Chane as a process is constant but Change brought up by the process ain't permanent.

Change surely does works… But it seems that it returns like any cycles. As to what they say, nothing’s constant in this world of ours. Hope, dreams, and even our own lives can change and can even return to its old golden times. Even love is not constant. That’s how life is…

Have you ever felt the way that you started to change and suddenly, you felt like things our coming back to you and you are coming back to where you were…

Well, it’s the cycle of life. We can do nothing about it. You will surely come back to what you were before. From ashes, you rise, and as your fall come into you, You’ll return to ashes…

Reality of Life


"How I Love Her Naive Perception of Me, How I wish it was true but I'm afraid it isn't"

Life could be so harsh yet so favorable to you… It’s like putting you in a double jeopardy wherein your judge is the whole world… the society in particular… 


Basically, life had been on and off. Today, one is in front of you then the next day, no one is. Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore? Doesn't anybody thought of thinking of others more than he/she thinks of his/herself? A man being an island had been put into everybody's mind. 

If everything has a purpose, why is it always so dark and too dim for our naked eyes to see and recognize? and If sufferings tend to make us stronger, why does it always go the other way around and crashes our fragile hearts?

Too many questions… Too many desires… Is it the nature of man to blame or is it our own decision and will to find something to blame? The hardest and the most painful thing is… knowing that you have the thing you want in your hands or in just a few inches away from… Yet, you can't do it cause taking risk might make you lose the most important things of yours…

Sigh.. I just hope everything will be provided an answer that will end our sufferings… I just hope so…
