This is a simple tribute video I made for Saengie on his special day. It's not much, but I enjoyed making it. Love ya Prince! Happy Happy Birthday!!!

Dearest Baby Hyung Jun,

The baby is now a man... Kekeke. You're 24 years old and fast becoming a man, but you're forever still a baby in our hearts. I guess I will always see you as SS501's baby. The first time I saw you, I asked myself, how can anyone be so perfectly pretty? You really are the perfect definition of "Pretty Boy". All my friends that are non-Triple S seem to notice you first from the other members and they can't help but admire your pretty face. But you're definitely more than just a pretty face Baby Jun. If only they took the time to get to know you, they'd fall in love with you, without a doubt. Watching you in Progamer, that's where I really got to know you and that show made me love you even more! You are such an adorable, funny, loving person... a cutie pie, but you can also be irresistibly dashing and full of charisma when you switch to that different mode of yours. Cool and hot at the same time!

You've been through so much in your pursuit of your dream to become a singer and an idol. And now that you have reached your dreams, every time we see you, we feel so proud. You've really grown and matured, and you've become such a fine, young man. Whenever you give a message to us Triple S, you impress us with your sincerity and wisdom. Thank you for the laughter, the aegyos, the way you've endeared yourself to your fans. Seeing you with the other members... how you love and care for your hyungs, the way you've put up with their bullying because you know that's just their way of showing you how much they love you... all of this makes you an admirable dongsaeng. Yet another reason to love you! You're considered as the cry-baby of the group, but that just means you're not ashamed to show how you really feel. And that in itself, is endearing. Your personality, your carefree, fun-loving attitude, as well as your hardworking and even ambitious side, we love and accept that as part of Kim Hyung Jun.

You have a lot more ahead of you, and just like you said, until the end, you can expect us to walk with you and be with you and support you as you continue reaching for your dreams. You've secured a place in my heart Maknae, and you will always stay there forever. Keep that childlike attitude always, because it warms up the lives of millions of people around the world. Hope you'll have a wonderful birthday and a happy one. You deserve it. Take care of yourself always! Happy Birthday our dear Maknae! We LOVE YA!


Here's a little video I made to mark Baby Jun's day...

Dearest Hyun Joong,

Happy happy birthday! I don't even know where to begin. There's just so much I wanna say to you, but I'll keep this short. I can still remember the very first time I saw you in Boys Over Flowers, up to the moment I saw you dancing U R Man in rehearsals, all I can say is... I'm so glad I found you! The more I got to know you, the more I fell totally and irrevocably in love with you. You are more than just a pretty, perfectly-chiseled face... there's more to you than meets the eye. A wonderfully complex, interesting, beautiful human being. And because of you, I also got to know 4 more wonderful people, namely Young Saeng, Kyu Jong, Jung Min, and Hyung Jun. If it weren't for you, I would never have known about SS501. And for that, I'll always be grateful.

You are simply one-of-a-kind. Your 4D personality, your bravery, your quick wit and sense of humor, your beautiful heart, the way you care for your fans, the way you sacrifice so many things just to make us happy, the way you endure a lot of pains just so we won't be disappointed, the way you skillfully led SS501 all these years... I could go on and on... no wonder we love you so much! You paved the way for a lot of people to come together, strangers and all. You're immensely talented and so blessed! You bring inspiration to a lot of people. A true Leader.

You're celebrating your 25th birthday today, but you're only 24 to the rest of the world and you have a lot more things in store for you. I know that you also have a lot of worries. But one thing you don't have to worry about Hyun Joongie, is US, your fans. Because we're here to stay. You worry that we'll get tired of you, but that will never happen. You know why? Because you've touched our lives, you've cheered up so many hearts, you've made a lot of people happy, you've inspired us with your words, your talent, and everything that you are. Thank you so much! Know that we will support you in all your endeavors, together with your brothers in SS501. Hope you won't change Leader. Hope you continue to be the loving, wonderful person that you are now. Hope you enjoyed your special day and wishing you good health always! Again, happy happy birthday!!! We LOVE YA!!! Here's a little something I made for your birthday...

Dearest Jung Minnie,

Aaah... today is Black Saturday, so it's a solemn and blessed day. And today, you are celebrating your birthday! I don't have much to say except, it's been a real joy knowing you. Since I knew SS501, I've known you to be the fun bringer of the group, your personality is just like a bright ray of sunshine. Every time I see you, you bring a smile to my face. And seeing you in Bangkok up close, you're even more handsome than in pictures and TV! Even though Leader said you look old for your age, you're still handsome! And all Triple S agree on that! You have given us joy and laughter, and you have tirelessly waved and smiled at your fans everywhere you go. That gesture is very much appreciated Jung Minnie, it means a lot to us. Thank you so much.

Today, on your 24th birthday, I hope you'll be able to fulfill your heart's desires. I hope it will be a memorable birthday for you, no matter how and where you spend it. Family and friends will always be there to support and love you, you know that right? And we, your fans, will always stand by you through all your endeavors. Stay as wonderful and as adorkable and friendly and fun as you are. Forever SS501's Sexy Charisma and CEO Park. Thank you for making us a part of your life. Happy Birthday!!! We love you! Here's a little video I made as a tribute for your birthday...

Dearest Kyu,

It's your birthday today! Time flies so fast, huh? You're already 24! Seeing you in Bangkok, being able to see that radiant smile of yours, being able to feel your infectious energy... it was such a happy moment for me. You really are even more beautiful in person! Being the center of SS501, the neutral member, the peacemaker, the sound of reason... you keep the group grounded and balanced. Thank you for being such a sweetheart! ThanKYU for being the wonderful person that you are! On your birthday, I don't know what celebrations you will be having. But it is my hope that you'll enjoy your day with family, friends, and loved ones. We, Triple S, around the world, are celebrating your special day too. Even though we are not there with you physically, please know that you are always in our thoughts and prayers. Always stay as sweet as you are. Because you are beautiful, inside and out. Your kindness and innocence, never ever let go of those qualities. We will always be here to support you Dear Kyu Jongie. I wish you good health always, more success, and happiness. And may all your dreams come true! I love you!!!

I'd like to share a couple of fanmade birthday videos I made for Kyu...

Dearest Young Saengie,

I know you'll never be able to read this, but just the same, I want to greet you a very Happy Birthday! It's only been a few months since I've known SS501, but seems like I've known you for a long time already. Those few months were a lot of fun and full of laughter because of you guys. Just watching the 5 of you in your various shows these past few years... I came to know how wonderful you guys really are. I laughed, I cried, I cared... it's amazing how one can learn to love 5 people who live in a different part of the world, who speak a different language and who we never even met personally. But yes, I'm not ashamed to admit that I love SS501. You guys are one of a kind. Thank you for being the persons that you are, and for staying as wonderful as you are after all these years.

Young Saengie, the first time I saw you, you captivated me with your beautiful voice. It's no wonder you're the main vocals of the group, because you have a special gift. Your voice touches the hearts of so many Triple S around the world. When you sing, people STOP and LISTEN. When you deliver a song with so much emotion, you MOVE people. We thank you for sharing your gift with us.

Your members call you Professor Heo and Doctor Love because you know a lot about love and life. And they can talk to you about these things and you can give them sound advice. Knowing this about your personality makes us admire you even more. People say you're mysterious and you're the quietest member of the group because you seldom talk. But that's just part of your charm. After all, silent guys tend to be interesting, right? Hehehe.

Today, on your 24th birthday, you've gained another year of wisdom and another year of LOVE from your fans, friends, and family. You're currently touring Asia and have released your album. Things are really going well for you. Don't be disheartened when detractors try to put you down, or certain events leave you feeling disappointed. Because no matter what happens, SS501 is still #1 for us! We wish you all the best in your career and personal life Young Saengie. I know you're one of the more emotional members of the group, and sometimes you feel depressed too, especially when things are not going well. But cheer up Shy Prince! You have a lot of supporters behind you, who will always love you no matter what. Whenever you're sad, always remember that your loving Green Pea Princesses will always be with you, supporting you every step of the way. We'll always be here, forever we will walk with SS501. Fighting!
