“I was sent to China after I entered SM for about a year.”
Noisy….Hankyung (another member of Super Junior) : Hello, are you Chinese?
Siwon: (In Korean) This…I can’t speak Chinese. Ah, what do I do….
Hankyung: (In Chinese) What are you talking about?
“I was clueless when I first got to China. Even though there are so many people in front of me, but all of them are Chinese speaking a totally different language. And I’m a Korean who doesn’t understand Chinese at all.”
Siwon: (In Korean) What are you talking about?
Hankyung: (In Chinese) I said, let’s go eat.
Siwon: (In Chinese) Nothing nothing….OK.“I have no friends in China, and after about a month, then I slowly understand other people’s conversation. I worked hard and tried my best to learn Chinese. No matter how difficult, I still have to survive. If I need to eat, I ask for restaurants. If I need to find my dorm, I ask for the rout to go home. I stayed in China for 6 month.”An uncle went to my house to chat with my father, through the conversation, that uncle still think I should fallow my dad and become a business manger.
He said “Even though your dad didn’t say anything, but he worried about you.” Every time when I hear people say this, I always hold tight my fist and turn these words to my power to motivate me.”
“Not too long after, I filmed . Even though I don’t have many parts, but because of this drama, I gained my popularity. Through this drama, I earned my first money in my life.”“Even though it’s not an enormous amount, but it’s my first time in my life having a self earned money on my check book. I can not remember how many times I flipped through that check book. It’s just like a dream.”
Siwon: He told you what?
Dad: You donated all the money to the church.
Siwon: Ah, you heard it?
Dad: Yes. I was so proud today. Keep doing your best and accept your responsibility, understand?”
