GRRRR...

Hi, Family.
Well, dears, I just finished watching The Green Planet International Film Awards, and I must say I was disappointed, in many areas, with the lists of chosen winners. Please, don't misunderstand me. I love and admire such actors as Song Gang Ho, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and many others whose names were called tonight. My congratulations to all of them. The thing that bothers me is the choice of Bi Rain as International Asian Ambassador of the Year. No offense to any Rain fans out there, but what the flip is up with choosing him as an ambassador? To the best of my knowledge, he has never even aspired to be an ambassador promoting anything; unless, of course, it was himself. On the other hand, Our Yong Joon-ssi spends a good bit of his time promoting international public relations, not only among the various Asian countries, but between all the countries he has ever visited, as well as many countries to which he hasn't been, yet. In view of this fact, he is far more qualified to be International Asian Ambassador, not only of the year, or the decade, but of the entire 21st century. (Thank goodness The KTO, at least, had the sense to choose BYJ as their honorary Ambassador for the Visit Korea Years Campaign.) The only good part of all this is that our Charming Prince would no doubt be the first person to congratulate all of the winners at tonight's presentation. Mianheyo, Yong Joon-ssi. I am so very sorry that you did not win the awards for Asian actor or Ambassador, but I know a large number of Family members, including myself, voted for you to win. And, as far as we are concerned, you are, and always will be, a winner to us, because we love and respect you, no matter what happens. After all, that is what it means to be a Family, loving and supporting each other when things are disappointing, bad, or sad. Love to all Family, everywhere. Anna

Friendship...

Hi, dear Family,
Today I would like to talk about Friendship, and love for one's 'Family'; two things which more and more people seem to take for granted.
In recent years I have had so many people, who were supposed to be friends, who betrayed my trust in them. These people didn't seem to understand that friendships, like any other relationships in life, are partnerships. This means that, in order to maintain the relationship, each person involved needs to contribute 50% of the effort involved. Unfortunately, a lot of people are unwilling to do this. They seem to believe they can take and take from the friendship and never give anything in return. They have a kind of "You should be there for me, but I don't want to be there for you" mentality. This will not work, no matter the type of relationship to which it is applied; romance, marriage, family, or even co-workers and bosses. If we don't make an effort to meet the other person half way, the relationship won't survive. This includes friendships, of course.
On the other hand, I also have long-time friends who tend to give 100% effort to maintaining our friendships; they give and give and expect very little in return. I believe this is known as 'going above and beyond the call of duty' as a friend. I have a good deal of respect and love for these friends, because they make me want to contribute as much as possible to our relationships, making them become fifty/fifty in nature. They are people I will always love, and help in any way I can.  They are more like family than friends.
This brings me around to our BaeFamily. In the short, few months that I have been a Bae Yong Joon Family member, I have found a lot of love, and I have learned so much from our Charming Prince and his philosophy of "Humane Living". It has helped me to see not only the kind of person I was, but the kind of person I want to, and am trying to be. It's interesting how one person can have such a positive effect on the lives of so many other people. We Baesisters have come to a place, through the internet, where we have grown together as a family, and are strengthening the bonds we have made, through continuous contact by messages, photos, and videos which we share with all of the other Family. And we also welcome new family as they join us here on our blogsites. And, even though a great number of us have never met, and may never meet, we still share the same kinds of ideals that Bae Yong Joon had when he started this international Family of ours. I, for one, could not do less than share my love for our family and for BYJ with as many people as I can. I tell everyone who will listen about Yong joon ssi and our Family as often as I get the chance, which is pretty often, since I love to talk to people.
All of  this has only become possible through the efforts of one man, and his undying faith in the inherent goodness, kindness, and love of all mankind. Without his influence, I can honestly say I would not be writing this for all of our family, today. Kamsahamnida, Yong Joon ssi, just for being the wonderful kind of person you are! Love to all Family. Anna

I Am Upset...KTO!

Hi, Family. I hope all are well.
Today my rant is directed specifically toward Korea Tourism Organization (KTO). Question: why is the 'Korea Inspiring' CF featuring Bae Yong Joon only slated to be shown in Japan? Not Fair! I believe that KTO should show CFs,  featuring our Prince Charming, in countries all around the world.  (No offense to our Japanese Family; just congratulations on their good fortune.) Thankfully we have all of our wonderful Asian Family, from all countries, who have been sharing this BYJ CF with the rest of us. Still KTO is being unfair in the exclusion of the rest of the Asian Family, as well as All of the western part of the Family, from being shown the BYJ CF in all of Our countries. For shame!

I would like to say here, thank goodness for the internet, without which we westerners would not even be able to be a part of this amazing, International Family in the first place.  (On a personal note, in the short time that I have been a Family member, I have been shown such kindness and love by the other Family members, that I am a bit overwhelmed by it all, but in a good way. Kamsahamnida and Arigato,  and  thank you, to all, in many other languages in which I don't know how to say these words. God bless and keep you , Family everywhere. Love to all.) Anna     

Well, Another One Has Come And Gone...

Hi, Family,
Here's hoping that Bae Yong Joon and all of our wonderful family have a safe, prosperous and Happy New Year! Yong Joon ssi, please be well and safe in the coming year. God keep you wherever you are and Godspeed wherever you go. Love to all, Anna

One Big Family

Hi, Family.
I have read a lot of news articles from Asian newspapers and magazines, and one thing keeps coming to my attention. That is the fact that all of the reporters and/or columnists seem to think that the Bae Yong Joon fan (family) is limited only to Asian countries, or to Asian people who live mostly on the East coast or West coast of The United States. It is true, there are a lot of family members living in those areas or in Asian countries, but Yonsama's family (fan base) is not limited to those family members, alone. We so-called Caucasians love Our Handsome Prince as much as the other members of our family do.  That is why I am grateful for the love which Yong Joon shows to all of us, and for the love and kindness which I have gotten from several of the family here on Blogspot and on Youtube as well. I really appereciate you all for making me feel welcome as a member of the BYJ International family, and I am sorry I didn't tell you all about this sooner. (Actually I am part Native-American and part African-American, and Caucasian as well.) Be well my dear family wherever you all are. Love, Anna

Hi, family.
This posting is mainly for the American Bae family members. Please, remember Pearl Harbor Day. And, everyone in the family, please pray for Yong Joon-ssi, and everyone involved in the UN Climate Change Summit. And pray for our planet, that these world officials can reach an agreement during their negotiations in Copenhagen. The whole human race and our world depend on it. Thank you all, family everywhere. Anna

Welcome to My Fan Blog

Hi, everyone! Even though this blog is set up primarily for use by American fans (family) of Internationally popular Korean actor and superstar Bae Yong Joon, all family members, worldwide, are welcome to post comments, etc. here. I am new to this, and therefore nervous, so please be patient with me, and I will do my best to be the same with all of you. I have been a BYJ fan since June, 2009. I first saw him in "Winter Sonata" on Youtube, and I was hooked right from the start. Since then, I can't get enough of this amazing, gorgeous actor. Of course, I'm sure that's true for most of his fans (family), otherwise he wouldn't be so popular, would he? Lol. As for the gorgeous part, he has always been that way, as far as I can tell. But, that's not the only reason we love him, now is it? I have read a lot of nice things about this lovely man, in blogs and postings all across the internet. The things which stand out most in all of these are BYJ's gentlemanly attitude and manner, his true appreciation of, and dedication to, all his fans (family) worldwide, and his genuine love for all mankind. Could we, or should we even dare, ask for more? Isn't all of this reason enough to love him as we do? You tell me. That's why I'm here, after all.
