They’re saying it’s too hard to continue printing version a albums. It’s only been four months. Not even six. Not even a year.

SMTOWN ranks their artists according to music video views. SM was extremely impressed with how Super Junior got 3 million in two days, but now they’re back with the mind set of Girls’ Generation being the top group of the entertainment since the girls have gained nearly 4 million views in just a day. Please watch the Mr. Simple video and comment. We’re almost Top 10 in the YouTube charts of Most Discussed and we should continue to keep up with the views in order to keep Super Junior on top of the rankings and SM impressed. Please help for the sake of Super Junior’s status within the company. We have to show SM that Super Junior is on top no matter how hard SM promotes their girls. Click here to help!
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.to know more on: http://www.13monkeyshouse.com/
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.
Dear ELF,
I am a cancer survivor. When I was 3 I was diagnosed with Wilm’s Tumor, changing me and the rest of my life. Every single day needles were put into my wrists for chemotherapy, causing me to have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I now live with one kidney and a scar across my stomach.
Although I was korean, I was never interested in k-pop. It was something I didn’t want to be involved in, but sooner or later I found super junior, and of course my life had changed for the better. In so many ways I had never felt so loved, and in so many ways I had never felt so appreciated. ELF became my family.
This post has absolutely nothing to do with super junior. This post has to do with one korean ELF asking her family to watch this one video at least once.
McGill university in canada has a cancer research center, and Medicom is willing to give a donation for every hit the video makes. I hope you’ll reblog and help a cause that can save a person’s life. I know it’s probably not the first thing you would want on your wall, but know that this ELF would be so thankful to see beautiful people helping a beautiful cause. Thank you ELF, let’s fight hard for our boys!

There’s about 5 hours left, we are third.

When I saw the Girls’ Generation album cover, the teaser images, everything… I immediately felt jealous. I felt so jealous I just couldn’t stand it. Those girls look absolutely gorgeous, and plus everything they release is a masterpiece.
I got jealous because… When I look at Super Junior’s comeback… Their teaser images had absolutely nothing to do with their music video or being “simple”. Their album cover was eccentric and their song wasn’t fresh. It was addictive but repetitive, and it didn’t do too well on the charts. I know that fans were disappointed but we all hid it behind a mask because we wanted to be happy for the boys.
Then suddenly came the news of it being Super Junior’s last comeback before a two year hiatus. And I thought, If SM knew all of this was going to happen, then why did they make this comeback so… not on par? It’s great to see the boys performing and smiling again, but they deserved something better.
SM is trying to live off of the Sorry Sorry days. For three years now. It’s time to say goodbye to the SJ Funky line. Girls’ Generation has such beautiful concepts, from cute Gee to sexy Genie and now French The Boys. That’s why I’m jealous. I’m jealous because Super Junior and Girls’ Generation are of the same scale, but yet SM rallies the most popular producers in the world (including Michael Jackson’s, may I add) to work with the girls while Super Junior has Yoo Youngjin. Believe me, I love him, but why put so much effort into only one of the group’s comebacks? Why not Super Junior as well? Aren’t the boys just as good? They work for hours on end and they deserve all the love in the world too. They deserve something new because every year the boys are changing and growing.
SM, why… Why can’t you give Super Junior something they’re worth? You’re considered one of Korea’s most accomplished entertainments. A-CHA was much too similar to Mr. Simple, I was hoping for at least something bubbly. Super Junior can top Sorry Sorry, all you have to do is just give them a chance. I’ve been to so many Korean fansites, trying to figure out what the deal is, but no one seems to be sure about SM. No one. There’s theories but no facts.
So yes, I’m jealous. I’m so jealous of Girls’ Generation and how lucky they are. I truly am. I wish SM could put so much attention to their boys as to their girls. That’s all I wish.
I’m not saying that Mr. Simple is bad, I just feel that there was so much potential. So much potential that could have been covered and wasn’t… Super Junior deserved something new and fresh. They truly did.
Please SM, give them a chance. Please.
I submitted this as a secret because I know one of the biggest things on Tumblr is trying to create fanwars, and although I’m trying to stay away from one, I know that there will still be controversy if I release it on my own Tumblr. ELF gets really emotional when it comes to blaming SM because everyone has a different viewpoint of the entertainment. I just feel that this comeback was either half-hearted or planned by people who have just totally run dry of ideas. Super Junior’s worth more than that. Much more.
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.
