—
The words reflects a spirit of patience. “Don’t give up if you fail in your first challenge, and try it at least three times.” And it also means even though you made a mistake twice before, it’s acceptable. Then you’ll be successful to take advantage of them on the third attempt. In English we also have a saying, “Third time pays for all”.

Thanks Tenshi for sharing this…made me happy to know we share the same fave number 🙂
Wow thanks so much kaori chan… though the questions & answer are simply but it truly got the point… I got the same answers as prince on some of the questions..
Kyaa… really nice reafing this ^^
I knew that Hwang Jin-I has a soft spot in Sukkie’s heart …. so I watched the drama … but as soon as he died I couldn’t carry on watching …. kekeke ….
Only 5,000 Koreans in his fan club … kind of feel sorry for him … but hey, he still has us 🙂
Hello, may i ask where could i watch Hwang Jin-I with english or mandarin subtitles? Have been searching for it but to no avail =(
You watch it ar dramacrazy,net. Maybe this Sukkie’s favorite because he mentioned in one of his interviews that Hwang Jin Hi gave him a chance to prove that he has the talent to act.
Hiya, yes think I watched it on dramacrazy.net but that was some time ago …Anyways, are you from Singapore? I just bought the DVD at a relatively good price of under $16 at TS …
Thank you very much to both, i will try my luck at dramacrazy.net. Nah, i am residing in Australia but thanks for telling me about the DVD. I do drop by Singapore to visit my sister there, so i might go searching for it. =)
I impressive well simply super good lad
Actually, I’ve been wanting to know how many official fans he has. Tenshi – would you know how many official fans he has in Japan? I once came across a vid on YT which was an 86 year old woman in China who’s a fan of Sukkie and she even got her family to teach her how to use the computer because of him so that should be his oldest fan!
I heard the number of JKS Japan FC membership reaches around 80,000.
Now …. that’s a much more decent number …. : )
Wow, thanks Tenshi. This year, the numbers will definitely increase big time once the new membership intake starts.
Thanks for sharing this Tenshi…nice read. ^^
hahaha, here he did say he had two relationships before, mmmm, I think that’s about right as fan thought. I’m glad this time he didn’t just joking: never be in love, never be kissed…” As a fan, personally I hope he can keep his personal life the way he wanted but as a kind of person we all know him if would be hard to him and his partner that they always have to hide their relationship by all the time because not to upset some fans. Not I mean that he has one right now, I don’t know if he does or doesn’t have a relationship. If he thinks he doesn’t want to disclose it, that’s fine, I just hope that is not only because of fans then he has to do something against his will, because we all know how much he care for his fans and by return we should be caring to him too and also in the meantime respect his choice to his personal life. Sukkie, no matter what, be happy and have a happy life.
Thanks Kaori Chan for translating this. As always, we are not gonna miss any Sukkie’s interview because they are always worth to read and learn more about him.
Kaori Chan.. Thanks for this sharing on his favourites which many eels want to know.. Is this interview from the STAR1 magazine which he has many nice pictures too? I read from BaiduSukbar that this magazine is a sold out in Korea and Japan. I was thinking of getting this magazine too…
i bought mine… still waiting for arrival… i try to source for u see Malaysia still got or not….
Hi smileysukkie
u mean malaysia would have this Star1 mag???
Thanks.
Thanks Kaori chan for translation!!!
Whaaa…Sukkie is a sweet talker, “For me, every episode with fans is memorable and unforgettable.” Can’t help but falling for him.
Seriously, every time I read Sukkie’s interview, I always learn something new. This time is the “Trinity Doctrine”….great theory!!! Never give up until you try at least 3 times. I should apply this concept in my life.
I have the question on his height….I thoughts is 180.4 CM….why he still say it’s 182CM. Had he grown an inches or two since 2010…???
Komawo Kaori chan!!! This put a smile in my face! ^__^
“What kind of behavior makes you happy or angry?
I omit to say my pleasing ones. lol. …”
hehehe.. why?
didn’t get it what he means too….so that makes him happy or angry?
Because my Sugar is easy to be pleased and is always eager to please his fans.so the pleasant episodes are countless. You just learn to love him not only through. His physical body or face but his personalities: kind, funny, mischievous, childlike, honest, you. Name them, he’s. Got them all.
kaori, shouchu is the same as soju?
Sorry my keyboard acts funnily today!!!
Jks favourites r always my favourites. I specially want his fav pet n i wish his suki best of luck.love u oppa sleep well so that u don’t feel drowsy.
