On behalf of 13monkeyshouse.com itself, we’re holding a pre-order of Super Junior’s 5th album, Mr. Simple version A on July 20th, 2011. After the last date we set for the pre-order, the amount of orders was 510 albums. 13MKH and together with Sujudaily (@Sujudaily) contacted Ms. J to buy albums from Korean, and she was responsible for everything; buying from the shop, and shipping them to Thailand, provided that 13mkh had to pay her up front, which divided into to 2 sets. Stated below…. 

First set, with the amount of 100 albums, we had to make a transfer (for 100 albums) by August 1st, 2011, which was totally 68,500 baht (2,196.92 USD at current rate; 2011-10-02 08:51 UTC) exactly. And we were told that all albums would be shipped around August 10th. 

Second set, with the amount of 410 albums, we had to make a transfer by August 11th, 2011, which was totally 288,075 baht (9,239.10 USD at current rate; 2011-10-02 08:51 UTC) exactly. (Note: we over transferred 58,257 baht (1,868.41 USD at current rate; 2011-10-02 08:51 UTC) but already received it back)

On the day that Ms. J and we were to meet to get the first 100 albums from her. She told us that the first 100 albums were already shipped and they were at her house. There were 9000 baht left from buying albums. But because she hadn’t got back from the trip and wasn’t convenient to let us go to get albums at her house, which there was only her mom who had to work all day and wasn’t easy to contact, but would try to call her mom. !3mkh gave her a time, but after a few days we hadn’t heart anything from her. So we call her almost every day, but the only answer was that “my mom went to other province, hasn’t got back”. Finally, we couldn’t bare that any longer because people started to question about their albums they had ordered, and that caused tension to customers and us.

Ms. J said that she had paid the shop in Korea for albums, but because the lack of product in the market so she couldn’t find enough products for us. She just told us to wait. After one week, we still got the same answer, and finally we couldn’t reach her any more. We decided to use the money we had to order albums from other shop, and be able to get 50 albums with that amount of money. 

After all those messes, we tried to contact her and were able to get a clue about it. Ms. J said that she wasn’t the one buying all albums, but instead it was another person who she pretended that she couldn’t tell person’s name, dug out all reasons she could find in the world to get herself away from telling that person’s name. Previously we started to curious about her a bit, but because of everything she said on September 9th, we knew that we were obviously cheated!! So we canceled all second set orders and rushed her to get the entire first set as soon as possible. But! The only two answers we got from her were…

1. She wasn’t able to ship(from her house to us) the first 100 albums because her mom went to work in other province which was flooded. And her mom stuck there, Ms. J was still in Korea, then there was no way she could give albums to us.


2. She was ok that we canceled the orders, but she would like to pay back by installment claimed that the shop did the refund by installment. When it was the date Ms. J and we agreed to get the money, she asked to postpone and also claimed that the shop paid he in cheque, which she wasn’t able to cash it on time because the bank was closing soon. She wanted to on August 16th, but even on that date she still couldn’t pay any back also claimed that it was during the weekend, wasn’t able to cash the cheque and transfer back, and she needed two more weeks to get it done. She even took a picture of cheque but blurred out the name of payer and receiver. Just to make sure that she didn’t lie to us, we check with somebody who had done this kind of thing before, and was ensured that it would take no longer than 3 days on process. Now that we clearly know that she had been a liar…


On September 29th 13mkh was meeting her to negotiate, and Ms. J admitted that she had deceived 13mkh’s money, which was a total of 365, 575 baht (11,724.66 USD at current rate; 2011-10-02 08:51 UTC). We are gathering all information to sue her


Beside 13MKH, there are other victims who were deceived by Ms. J, but we are the most severe one. With the total of 365, 575 baht (11,724.66 USD at current rate; 2011-10-02 08:51 UTC) to be exact…


To those of you who ordered and haven’t got your albums

With the kind of Ms. Oh @Sujudaily, she gave us 100,000 baht (3,207.18 USD at current rate; 2011-10-02 08:51 UTC), which we were able to buy 160 albums. These will arrive in Thailand by next week, and we will set the date and pass them to you guys according to the order you’ve transferred. To those who don’t get albums in this round, we suppose that you may have to wait and see if we will get money back. We will let you know as soon as we have any progresses.

Importantly, the reason we are trying to spread this on the Internet as much as we can is we don’t want anyone else to be deceived like we were. Please aware of her. She may change her name, and offer you to buy any concert tickets. http://twitpic.com/5tv6cd She looks like this. Dear oversea friends, please take it serious for your own benefit.

Someone has stolen money from ELFs who had pre-ordered 500 albums. Be careful with entrusting your money to others and most importantly be sure to go with the safest methods possible. Please reblog in order to keep ELFs aware. This person has stopped Super Junior from 1000 albums. Remember, ELF. Remember.

Winning the GDA isn’t everything. No matter what happens, we are all the house of sapphire blue. If we succeed, we are the house of sapphire blue. If we fail, we are still the house of sapphire blue.

We all know this. The GDA doesn’t make up half of our world and most of us have lives to attend to. I have high school and tests, I have a social life and I have to feed myself three meals a day.

But the GDA is a symbol. It’s a symbol of not only ELF’s neverending love for Super Junior, but a symbol of their hard work. The blood, sweat and tears. We aren’t going to let this go in vain. We worked harder than ever before and if we stop now, we stop everything.

Nothing has ever overcome us before. Nothing. So why stop now? Why give up when we have so much more ground to cover? Why leave all the work to someone else? WE are ELF. WE shape Super Junior’s future and WE will stop at nothing.

Selling 200,000 repackaged albums is very much posible if everyone pitches in. If you don’t have the money, that’s fine. You can always help in other ways.

Now, it’s time for Version C.

So far Super Junior has sold about 300,000 copies of Mr. Simple. They’re close to beating their previous records, and even close enough to getting that GDA. We all know they desire it. What artist wouldn’t? The Golden Daesang is a mark of history.

So with 500,000 albums as our ultimate goal, and ELF getting closer and closer every year (plus the growing population of ELFs after Kevjumba’s video, haha) we’ll be working side by side to buying those copies and helping each other get them. We’re going to take over the Hanteo charts!

It’s time to bid farewell in the most memorable way possible. It’s time to say, “See you later with no change of heart.” It’s time to keep the boys closer together for these next two years and keep their adrenaline going. Many boy bands haven’t made it pass their five year mark, and Super Junior’s getting older every single year. I have strong belief that winning this GDA will keep them together, because it will show our boys that no matter what they are the legendary Kings of Korean music.

Forget about JYJ and Girls’ Generation and whatnot. All we need is you. It all starts with an ELF and it all ends with an ELF.

If you doubt that Super Junior will unite again in two years, then it will really happen. It will happen because you’re believing in their separation and letting them slip away. There is no Super Junior without ELF and no ELF without Super Junior. Whether the boys said this or not, this is factual.

The boys have been through difficult times and we as ELF have helped them through it. Many of us are worried for the future and what will happen. Now that our boys have grown it is time to fuss over what is yet to be revealed. But we shouldn’t worry over their separation. That just adds to more doubt and less believing in their reunification.

Maybe you don’t believe a 13 reunification because it’s quite impossible. Well, Hangeng withdrew his lawsuit against SM and now he’s back under the label. What does that tell you?

Heechul loves his fans a lot. He loves his brothers too. If he wanted to leave Super Junior, it would have to be a mutual agreement, yes? Perhaps he wanted to get his service over with so that he could see his brothers sooner.

This isn’t me being absolutely sure about Super Junior’s intentions. This is me believing. How will Super Junior survive as one without us, ELF? Without us believing in them? If ELF can’t trust them when they say, “We’ll come back”, how will Super Junior possibly make it through?

They need us, ELF. Wait for them. All of them. No matter what, Super Junior is Super Junior, and I know the boys will say the exact same thing.

Treat these stages as if it was their last, but do not think it as the last. Always believe. Even after they go their separate ways be grateful to have had Super Junior in your lives and support them. That’s the right way, for 슈주.

Always believe, protect and love. We are ELF, and we won’t go anywhere. We won’t go anywhere without Super Junior, and Super Junior won’t go anywhere without us.

Every Korean knows that K-Pop celebrity life is nothing like America’s. We wish it could be, but it’s not like that. K-Pop’s changed so much since the last ten years . Since Hangeng’s lawsuit, many international fans came to the harsh reality of what their idols were going through. It happens to everyone. They perform and don’t get the money.

I was watching the news back in December and found that Hangeng won his lawsuit against SM Entertainment. As I watched the explanation of what specifics Hangeng used to rule the judge’s favor, I found that everything the boys earned they would receive 10%… then divide by 13.

Now many are saying, “This is Super Junior we’re talking about. They don’t need the money.” Super Junior loves to perform and make their fans happy. I think that no matter what, they’ll perform because it’s what they love to do. But saying that statement isn’t completely right either. My dad always wanted to be a constitutional lawyer. He was studying to become one, but later in college he decided to become an international lawyer instead. The reason was because constitutional lawyers don’t make enough money. As the oldest son of his family’s household, my dad had to make money. In Korean culture, the son must work for their family. I’m sure many other Asian families can relate. My dad had to give up his dream to find ways to support his parents.

Remember Kyuhyun’s stories about how his father wanted him to do something worthwhile with his life instead of singing? Or how Yesung’s father wanted him to study and not sing? I know other parents pushed their children to follow their dreams, such as Donghae. But the general population would have fathers more like Kyuhyun and Yesung’s. It’s expected of you to work and make money for your mother and father.

When saying, “they don’t need the money”… That kind of irks me. All people want to make money. And in Korea, making money as a son is very important. Very, very important. Who your son is and what he does is extremely important. Saying that your son is a 가수 (singer) isn’t very looked up to. That’s probably why Kyuhyun’s father was so opposed to his son becoming a singer.

In the end, Super Junior loves to perform and do what they do. They’re happy and that’s all that matters. We don’t care about who they are, what they do, or who they become in the future. Super Junior will forever be Super Junior and ELF will forever be ELF.

But remember, saying that it doesn’t matter if Super Junior has low performance fees… That can really strike a chord. My younger brother is expected to go into economy and business when he wants to go into science and mechanics. As a daughter I am free to do whatever (definitely not work in Korea though, women are very underrated. That’s why Kyuhyun’s older sister works with international relations).

I think Super Junior’s low performance fees do matter. They deserve more money. They work hard and they should earn more. They love what they do, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t earn more. I say this not only for them, but them as sons.
