Cover Story

It shouldn’t be too much to say that the second half of 2009 is Taiwan’s 'Pea Princess' happiest and most dreamy time! In a short span of four months, not only could Taiwan see SS501’s 'real person' twice, but was also the third stop for SS501’s 2009 Asia Concert Tour, after Korea and Japan. With such "자다가 떡이 생긴다*" (jadaga ddeok i saengginda*) happiness, stop asking the pea princesses to calm down, how can it be possible to remain calm! Because even Trendy wants to shout with the Pea Princesses “Mansae!”

(*자다가 떡이 생긴다 literally means "How lucky I am to have ddeok unexpectedly in the dark of night/or when sleeping". Ddeok/Tteok 떡 is rice cake, and rice cake is a celebratory food that are only being eating during sad or happy occasions, like wedding, birthday, new year's day, funerals and etc. So in some way, it means that it is an unexpected happiness. Thanks SaengiePB for explaining this)

Pick up at the Airport: Taiwan Peas’ Creativity, trying to win SS501 laughter

When Trendy and the cameraman reached Taoyuan Airport, there was already a large amount of fans waiting. The cute pea princesses (SS501’s fans), to welcome SS501’s arrival, had prepared all types and kinds of banners and signs in large amounts. Their out of the box creativity, made the airport looked like an enjoyable carnival. Just as everyone’s neck was stretching longer than a giraffe’s, finally we see a red fedora wearing, flashing his very bright smile, Jung Min appearing at the arrival gate! After him was Hyung Joon and KyuJong and behind Kyu Jong was Prince Young Saeng all dressed in white and Hyun Joong wearing his super cool dark shades. Five of them were surrounded by the large number of media and fans, hence they could only move forward slowly. However, the five of them were still very friendly and waved to the fans continuously, causing the airport to be filled with screams which were like waves, one after another.

OOH! Suddenly, it seemed like something caught the eye of the five simultaneously, not only causing the five of them to constantly look back and it seemed like laughter was erupting from the midst of the five, which were even louder than the screams at the airport.

So what exactly was it? Actually it was a humorous signboard prepared by the pea princesses. There is a picture as proof, isn’t it really creative and humorous?! No wonder they could make SS501 so happy the moment they landed. Taiwan pea princesses, all of you are too good! From the time SS501 reached, most of their time were spent on rehearsals, even their request towards food were simple lunch boxes, instant noodles and soft drinks, all focused on preparing for the concert.

Finding out about SS501’s Style

Comparing to their 1st visit, returning to Taiwan for the 2nd time, they looked more relax and happy, this can be discovered from their dressing style

Hyun Joong’s Doraemon

Kim leader, Hyun Joong who has just recovered, didn’t have much expressions after landing, in addition to the black cap and large shades he was wearing, adding the cool factor. However, Trendy had a very cute finding – there was a Doraemon’s head fan hanging from Hyun Joong’s neck! Amazingly, the Doraemon fan on the very cool Hyun Joong didn’t look out of place, but instead there was an odd sense of suitable combination, maybe it’s because of the 4D and child-at-heart nature Hyun Joong has!


Jung Min is Peter Pan

Since the Seoul Concert, Jung Min has been keeping the pretty and cute fringe hairstyle and appeared with matching his style with red fedora. This hat seems to be a favourite accessory of Jung Min’s, as during the last fan meeting in Beijing, Jung Min also wore the same hat when he landed! The lively and friendly Jung Min resembles the fairytale’s Peter Pan immensely, as he couldn’t wait to fly next to everyone the moment he landed.


Hyun Joon’s low profile luxuries

As compared to the four other hyungs, Hyung Joon seem much more plain, aside from the slightly attracting cowboy hat, there wasn’t really much eye catching accessories. However, Hyung Joon’s black tee is actually a branded Italian good, simple but fashionable and stylish, seems like the low profile luxury type of style suits Hyung Joon very much!


Super Stylist Skateboarder Youth Kyu Jong

Wearing the stylish cap with a skull design on the opposite side and a loose jacket, the skate boarder style of dressing, Kyu Jong was even more handsome and shinning. In addition, when leaving the arrival hall, there were huge headphone around his neck, maybe he was happily listening to music on the plane? Probably visiting Taiwan for the second time allowed him to be more familiar, Kyu Jong was less shy and always had a smile on his face. He even playfully stuck his tongue out at Trendy’s cameraman.

Young Saeng’s Angel Wings

Prince Young Saeng always took the quiet approach and this time he appeared in an all snow white Prince Charming style. Young Saeng really likes the brightness and cleanliness feeling of white, even though he was all dressed in white, his shoes with the pair of “angel wings” were exceptionally eye catching. The sports shoes’ special wing design and matching with Young Saeng’s shy smile resembles a cute angel a lot!
