INFINITE holds an awards ceremony on ‘Ranking King’


Boy group INFINITE held their very own awards ceremony- the ‘2012 INFINITE Ranking King Awards‘, to mark the end of their 3-month reality show, Mnet‘s ‘INFINITE’s Ranking King‘.
For the last 85 days, ‘Ranking King’ featured episodes in which the INFINITE members would compete for a ‘king’ title each week, including the ‘Likeable King’, ‘Brain King’, ‘Athletic King’, ‘Knowledge King’, ‘Energy (Energetic) King’, ‘Courage King’, and ‘Lucky King’.
The boys wrapped up the season by holding an award ceremony which also featured the best 3 moments of the show, determined by votes placed by netizens and viewers. The boys were also awarded under several different categories based on their performance on the program, such as the ‘Action King Award’, ‘Popular Phrase Award’, ‘Ruined Character Award’, and many others.
The episode also finally gave member Woohyun, who had shown a strong interest in being an MC throughout the entire season, the chance to work as the main MC, receiving much love and attention from fans. He earned the nickname ‘NamMC’, the budding MC of the industry, showing his enthusiasm for hosting.
Producers from Mnet stated, “Today’s broadcast allowed the INFINITE members to completely well organize the variety show talents and energy they displayed on Ranking King, as well as feature the highlights and a few behind-the-scene cuts from the show. INFINITE really showed off their humor and wit throughout the season – we were impressed“.

And you won’t be making music together under the name of TVXQ anymore…
But even if 10 years pass… 20 years… or even 30…
I would still wish for these kind of things…
Because I know…
even when 10 years pass…
I will still be proud with all five of you…

You taught me to be carefree and to show who I am despite what everyone says, no matter how many people wants you out…

You taught me how to be selfless, to be concerned about the people around me and to be a source of strength for them when rough times come…
Even if 10 years pass… I will still be proud of my Jaejoong… whom no matter how hurt or painful it was for him, he always carries a thankful heart and refuses Cassies to see him cry
You taught me how to overcome all struggles in life just to reach the dream and even taught me to cherish everyone in my life because they will not be there forever…
Even if 10 years pass… I will still be proud of TVXQ…
Who made me appreciate the word “Love” more
Who have inspired me in life
Who taught me how to look for the soul of music
Who have shown me the best that they could ever be
Who have given me a family
And even, took my life into a whole new dimension
A whole new me
And even if 10 years pass… I will never forget all of these :”>
Because…
Even if 10 years pass…They will still be my definition of living legends, Gods of Kpop…
Even if 10 years pass… They will still be the perfect group in my eyes, looks, talent and personality-wise…
Even if 10 years pass…They will still be the group who made me inspired by each of their stories…
And even if 10 years pass…They will still be the only group who made me keep the faith…
Even if 10 years pass… 20 years.. or even 30
You will never be forgotten
Your legacy will remain
Even if 10 years pass…You will still be the Dong Bang Shin Ki we love…
And even if 10 years pass… we will still be the Cassiopeia you always knew…
No matter what they say,
No matter how many new groups will debut,
No matter how many other groups surpass the history that you made,
No matter how many groups will become better than you,
I will still be a proud Cassiopeia even after 10 years…
Because you are already perfect in my eyes…
And that no one can replace you in my heart.
I am meant to become what I am now,
I am meant to love all five of you,
And I am meant to belong in Cassiopeia. <3
We may have been on a very difficult situation right now…
But I know…
That even after 10 years…
TVXQ,
Yunho,
 Changmin,
 Jaejoong,
Yoochun,
Junsu
and Cassiopeia
will always love and will always be there for each other…
Even if the whole world turns their back against us…
Because with each other…
We’re still the happiest
We’re still the strongest
We’re still the BEST.
With these said, I will always carry a thankful heart while patiently waiting ‘til the five of you come back…
Even if 10 years pass… I will always keep the faith.
Even if 10 years pass… I will never forget how I became a Cassiopeia, how I feel whenever I see DBSK and the reason why I am still holding on.
Forever and Always

To you, what is a Cassiopeia?

A Cassiopeia.
Cassiopeia is a constellation in the northern sky.
 It is easily recognizable due to its distinctive ‘W’ shape, formed by five bright stars.
-Wikipedia
A pretty constellation, right? :D
But starting December 26, 2003, the term Cassiopeia has gained another important meaning and those five stars that consists the constellation is named, recognized and loved.
Xiah Junsu, Micky Yoochun, Hero Jaejoong, Max Changmin, U-Know Yunho.
Five bright, shining stars that have shared memories with each other,  laughing together, crying together, teasing each other and loving one another as brothers.
Five talented and unique stars that I considered the best acapella group, best dancers and singers.
Five kind-hearted and God loving stars that never forgets to thank everyone who helped them reach the top especially their families, friends, Cassiopeia and God.
Five heartwarming stars that never fails to inspire and move everyone’s hearts not just by their voices and songs, but with their personal stories, experiences and lives as well.
Five extraordinary stars that surprised me how perfect a group can be.
Five unparalleled stars that can never, ever be compared to anyone. They are the standard markers and they set it real high.
Five legendary stars that will always shine for us ’til the end of time, together.
They are supported and loved by more than a million Cassiopeias around the world.
What is a Cassiopeia? Me, I am a Cassiopeia and I’m proud to be one.
I will always hold onto that little hope that these five stars will reunite once again, I know I’m not the only one.
There are many Cassies all over the world keeping the same faith as mine.
Now for these five stars.. What is Cassiopeia for them?
For Junsu, “Cassiopeia is a family because they take care of us when we’re sad or lonely.”
For Jaejoong, “Cassiopeia is like eyelashes because I pull out 4 eyelashes a day and they never thin out. They keep on growing, very fast. It might look like that there aren’t any lashes but they’re always growing.”
For Changmin, “Cassiopeia is Dong Bang Shin Ki because Cassiopeia and Dong Bang Shin Ki are as one.”
For Yoochun, “Cassiopeia is like my gaze because the more you look at it, the more you’re drawn into it.”
For Yunho, “Cassiopeia is Mah-Bah-Gi because there’s no other words necessary.”
 I.Will.Wait.And.Keep.The.Faith.Forever.
Because it is you, it is TVXQ, I’m waiting for..
I was, am, and will be a Cassiopeia forever

When I Became Older…


I’ve written this while listening to Music Box versions of DBSK’s songs… :”)
It just came to my mind… how would I be if I get older?
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
When I became older…
I’d probably be smiling at the things that would remind me of my fangirling days…
Red balloons…
stars…
letter W…
number 5…
the word ‘faith’…
Cassiopeia…
I’d probably be smiling unconsciously seeing an animal that I have always associated with them…
Rhinoceros… Elephants… Dolphins… Ducks… Rabbits… Deer…
My kids would probably ask Mommy why is she fond of taking these animals’ pictures while we are strolling around the zoo…
or why does Mommy is overly jealous with a random cat who crossed the street especially with the gray ones…
When I became older…
I’d probably be laughing remembering how I force myself to learn their hard choreography…
I bet I’d be boasting my kids how their mommy is a very good dancer during her teenage years…
I’d probably be tearing up remembering how dedicated I am to my boys… and how many dorky and random things I’ve done just for them…
That I once nearly crashed the mouse just because I wanted Yunho to win on allkpop poll…
That I once literally jumped out of happiness inside a department store just because I saw a Tohoshinki album…
That I slept with my wet pillow numerous nights already…
That I told my whole family that Jaejoong is in a relationship with me
That I once felt my blood boiled in anger reading that blogsite which I now hate, hate, hate…
That I’m once a trying hard Korean-speaker wanna be and tweets JYJ with senseless things
That I became a wise money spender just because I want to buy an album…
That I stayed up late at nights just to wait for the release of a new song…
That I always have this weird dreams about them…
That I always laugh in front of my laptop because I was replacing DBSK song titles with weird words…
That I actually visited an Anti site just to understand their reasons why they hate DBSK…
That I have a hard drive full of their videos only
That I registered myself in a Homin stan site just to download videos to add in my collection…
That I have written stories about me and Jaejoong or whoever member I want to pair myself up with
That I once filled a glass bottle with little red paper stars which contains reasons why I love DBSK…
That I never forget to thank God for introducing me DBSK…
And then I’d probably laugh hard remembering how I disliked DBSK at first
How I ignored them for years…
How I used to turn off that television whenever TVXQ or JYJ is in…
And how suddenly, after searching mirotic in youtube, in just an hour… the magical story began
When I became older…
I’d probably still be reminiscing how I fell in love with my boys…
Yeah, I’d probably still be calling them my boys…
Even if they’re older than me… or even if they have their own families already…
Because even if I became a mother, I would never forget how I felt like I’m the one who took care of DBSK…
The dates that are so meaningful to me will always be remembered…
January 26, February 6, February 18, June 4, December 15, December 26…
It will always be significant that my kids would probably go on wondering why does Mommy buys a cake even though there’s no particular event…
I’d probably be laughing because those were the dates where I would open my blog and type away my super long birthday greeting which I don’t know if it could personally reach them…
When I became older…
I’d probably still be humming to their songs whenever I’m bored…
I’d probably have my garden covered with plants bearing red or white flowers
I’d probably still be listening to their capellas to make myself sleep…
When people ask me of my favorite songs, I’d probably still be citing DBSK songs…
Their ballads will still be my source of strength…
Their happy songs will still be my source of smile…
Their faces will still be the source of my heart fluttering…
Their smiles will still be the source of my heart’s tears…
When I became older…
I’d probably still be smiling proudly whenever I hear or read their names or even phrases that I associated with them…
My kids would probably go wondering why I answered Jaejoong when they ask me who my favorite Herois…
Or wonder why Mommy smiles like a fool do whenever they tell a story about Micky Mouse…
Or thinks why Mommy suddenly laughs when they tell that they’re hungry, tired or having a headache
When I become older…
I’d probably still be pausing for seconds before I answer someone who asks me ‘What time is it?’
I’d probably laugh at myself for shipping couples like YunJae, YooSu and MinFood because I’d probably reminisce at how happy I am while spazzing with my fellow Cassiopeia…
I’d probably be boasting to my kids that I have friends all over the world, which I can trust…
When I became older…
I’d probably be smiling myself realizing how silly I was remembering the times I go crybaby just because I saw a member with another girl…
Then I’d probably laugh at myself because at that time, I felt it was okay if he’d be hugging another member instead.
I will remember how much laughter their dorky moments gave me…
This time, instead of laughing, I’d probably be crying… just because I miss the days…
When I became older…
My husband would probably understand me why I’d be smiling on space while I watch my kids go on apillow fight or whenever they wear animal clothes…
I will always remember how mad I was at SM Entertainment…
I’d probably be smiling over embarrassment just because I can still remember how I was eager to kill a man together with a thousand more Cassies…
Buying bazookas, loading rifles, sharpening knives… I’d probably laugh at these things…
I will remember how I’d go crazy just seeing one of the members tweet…
And then I’d probably laugh remembering how I know that my Tlist would explode just because of that one tweet…
When I became older…
I’d probably still be feeling jealous to that Cassie that Jaejoong followed accidentally…
Or to that Cassie that Changmin has sung ‘Just The Way U Are’ to…
I’d probably go and search the world just to take a picture with the red phone booth as my background…
I’d probably smile while walking inside an oceanarium because I can imagine my boys in there just like their Mirotic concert intro movie…
My kids would probably be wondering why I am laughing when they say ‘Bonjour’
They would probably ask Mommy why she’s fond of things that are colored red…
Or asks why Mommy takes home a red balloon after attending a kid’s party…
When I became older…
 I’d probably be telling my kids my wonderful experience of being a Cassiopeia…
I’d probably be smiling at my kids while they wonder what did DBSK done to their mommy for making her love them so much…
I’d probably be telling stories about my boys rather than my own story…
My friends would probably look at me with questioning glares when they suddenly talk about their childhood favorites and mentions Final Fantasy and I laughed hysterically…
When I became older…
I’d probably still be saying ‘Dimsum Dimsum Dimsum Dimsum’ whenever I see one…
My husband would probably understand me best when I face the mirror and force myself to havemismatched eyes
I’d probably still want to spell TVXQ in the sand whenever my family would go on a trip on beaches…
My kids would probably laugh at Mommy for buying red light sticks which are supposed to be kids’ toys…
They would probably ask Mommy why she puts on five dots on every last page of their notebooks…
Or laugh at her whenever she exclaims ‘Oh My God Sun’
They would probably wonder why Mommy’s friends’ call her ‘Cassie’ or why Mommy does named their sister as ‘Cassie’
I’d probably laugh when one of my kids ask why I got five dogs named ‘Hero, U-Know, Max, Micky and Xiah’
Or asks why I go mad when they can’t spell Tong Vfang Xien Qi right.
When I became older…
I’d probably be speaking in fluent Korean and Japanese already…
I’d probably want to take a picture with the Eiffel Tower and at the Grand Canyon…
I’d probably tear up while looking at the night sky… while feelings of my Cassie self is pouring in…
I’d probably be watching DBSK concerts whenever I have the time…
This time… with my husband…
This time… with my kids…
This time… as a grown-up Cassie…
Whom her heart always remembers everything she went through as a fangirl…
That God can only tell how far this woman will go for DBSK…
And how much she loves them like her own children…
When I became older…
I’d probably be smiling my most beautiful smile… realizing that I will always be a Cassiopeia by heart and that all these memories and moments that only Cassies and TVXQ themselves can understand will always be treasured. <3
