☆☆☆Dongho’s message☆☆☆

I’m greatly thankful for all of your support.
It’s Dongho.

I’m really looking forward
to meeting all of the KISS ME at the fanclub events.

The cosplays are interesting, and there are many
surprise presents so please look forward to it!

Yesterday we all ate tebasaki~
It was really yummy~
Well then, we’ll be waiting for you at the Nagoya venu~e!

This was Dongho.

U-KISS on “Wata＠Ame”

• The hosts are the comedian duo, Nakaoka and Kokado from Rocchi (sat on the couch) and Hi-chan from IDOLING!! (sat on the stool with the laptop).
• Rocchi loved U-KISS’ “throwing kiss” introduction, so they imitated them and did a “throwing L” instead.
• Hi-chan introduced U-KISS and their background, so Soohyun told her that her “Japanese is great!”.
• U-KISS studied Japanese a lot during the past year and a half. Sometimes they have trouble speaking but in general they’re very fluent, they have no need for translators.
• Rocchi thinks U-KISS has a very cute aura.
• Hoon thinks that when they come to Japan, it feels a bit different than Korea, girls’ fashion in Japan is nice and stylish.
• SooHoon think that Japanese girls have a higher voice.
• All members signed a board and introduced themselves a bit.
• Hoon says that Soohyun is their “boss” (Japanese: okashira).
• Instead of Dongho passing the sign board to Kiseop, he passed it to Eli first. The reason is that Kiseop has the prettiest handwriting, so they made him go last.
• At some point the camera kept zooming in on Kevin’s face and he was surprised.
• It was Kevin’s birthday so they asked him how told he turned. He stuttered a bit so it came out as “two years old!”.
• The members had a small party for Kevin, but they weren’t able to do much since they were busy. They “made” him a cake by sticking 5 piece of cake from the convenience store together.
• Kevin was happy that many fans had a “happy birthday” sign at the Dance Nation event.
• The members explain that they’re actually 7 members and that AJ is away for his studies. Rocchi are very surprised that he’s in Columbia, it’s amazing to them.
• Hoon is sad since AJ is gone, so sad that tears come out of his eyes.
• When they’re in Japan, they still speak in Korean, but if they’re working, they’ll speak in Japanese and practice more.
• They had Soohyun explain what “U-KISS” means, but he didn’t know what “Ubiquitous” meant so he laughed and asked the staff members.
• In Japan, they all live in the same apartment. Their rooms are divided like this: Hoon + Dongho, Kevin + Kiseop and Soohyun + Eli.
• They all blame Soohyun because he’s the dirtiest/messiest, but he refutes and says “I’m clean~”. No one believes him and once Kiseop said that Soohyun doesn’t clean, he yelled, “I DO!… Sometimes.”
• The members don’t like mayonaise at all, they rather eat ketchup all the time.
• Eli likes to walk around their apartment totally naked. It’s weird for the other members, but Soohyun says it’s nice to see because of Eli’s muscles.
• Rocchi taught the word “totally naked” (Japanese: supponpon) to Eli and got him to say it.
• After they showed the “Distance…” PV, Rocchi asks what the members think of it, and Soohyun says they looked so cool, he’s like “who’s that cool guy~”.

From this point on, my stream lagged very, very much. If you caught a part that I missed, please let me know via ask box or Twitter.
