SMROOKIES.com Greeting:

안녕하세요~ 저는 17살 재현입니다.
제 별명은 '캐스퍼'인데요~ 제 하얀 얼굴과 함께 형들에게 장난치고 숨는 것을 좋아하는 모습이 만화캐릭터인 '꼬마유령 캐스퍼'와 많이 닮았다고 해요!!

앞으로 여러분께도 저의 이런 밝고 귀여운 모습 많이 보여드릴게요!
지켜봐 주세요~ ☆

Hello~  I'm 17 year old Jaehyun.

[T/N:  He was 17 Korean years old, or 16 International years old at the time of writing.]

My nickname is Casper...~  My pale face and the fact I like to hide and pull pranks with and on my hyungs is why they said I really resembled the comic book character from "Casper the Friendly Ghost!!

In the future I will clearly show you all a keen and cute image like that!

Please keep an eye out for me~ *

여러분 안녕하세요~!!

SM Rookies 재현입니다~ O_O

처음 뵙게되어서 너무 설레이고 행복합니다.

저희 SM Rookies는 아직 많이 부족하지는 모습을 봐주시고 많이 사랑해주세요~<3

[T/N:  부족하지O is extremely hard to read because of his handwriting and the resolution of the picture...I'm only assuming the last character is "는" based on context, though some text is cut off.  ^^]

"언제" "어디 서니" 열심히하는 SM Rookies

많이 기대해주세요~~  감사합니다~~

Thank you,

재현

SMROOKIES.com Greeting:

안녕하세요! 제노입니다!

저는 슈퍼카 매니아에요~ 

특히 차체 디자인에 관심이 많이 혼자서 자동차도 그려보고 프라모델도 만듭니다. SM에 들어와 슈퍼카보다 춤과 노래에 관심이 쏠려 있지만 아직 저의 마음속 한구석에는 슈퍼카에 대한 사랑이 자리잡고 있어요. 슈퍼카는 다른 차들보다 색다른 디자인과 좋은 성능으로 묘한 매력을 가지고 있는 것 같습니다. 

저도 슈퍼카처럼 항상 색다르고 좋은 실력이라는 성능을 가진 사람이 되겠습니다.

감사합니다!!

Hello!  I'm Jeno!

I am a huge fans of sports cars~

[T/N: literally, Super Cars]

Because I have a lot of interest especially in the chassis design, I paint cars and make toy models.  [T/N: slang for "plastic model" --> toy models]  When I am at SM, I am more interested in dancing and singing, but I still have a special place in my heart for sports cars.  Sports cars, more than any other kind, seem to have the allure by the means of unconventional design and good performance.

I, too, will become a person who have a performance like a sports car that people say has skills that are good and are always different.  Thank you!

안녕하세요.

SMROOKIES 제노 (JENO) 입니다. ^^

제가 처음 SMROOKIES부스에 갔었던날 저는 깜짝 놀랬어요.

여러분이 써주신 사랑이 깃든 쪽지들과 스티커들은 마치 꽃밭과도 같았어요.

이처럼 많은 사랑을 받고있다는 것을 알게 되어 무척 감사했고

한편으로는 신기하기까지 했어요.

정말 감사합니다.

앞으로도 열심히 노력하는 SMROOKIES!

많이 사랑해 주세요!

Hello.

I'm SMROOKIE(')S JENO). ^^

Today was the first day that I went to the SMROOKIES booth and I was really surprised.

The notes covered in everyone's love and all the stickers were like a flower garden.

When I came to understand when they say we were receiving a lot of love like this, I was extremely grateful and also blown away.

Thank you very much.

SMROOKIES are putting forth a lot of effort!

Please give us a lot of love!

SMROOKIES.com Greeting:

안녕하세요! 춤과 RAP을 좋아하는 SMROOKIES의 태용입니다. ^^ RAP은 어렸을때부터 관심이 많았는데요. 지금은 RAP을 본격적으로 배우면서 라임과 플로우를 만들어가고 있는데, 이 과정이 너무 신기하고 재미있습니다.
아! 그리고 제가 요즘 고민이 한가지 있는데요. 오랫동안 못만나서 그런지 저희 집 강아지 '루비'가 저를 못알아보는 것 같이 걱정이에요. 루비야~ 오빠 잊지마 ~ ㅜㅜ

Hello!

I'm Taeyong who enjoys doing dance and RAP.  ^^ From the very beginning, RAP was something that I was really interested in!  Right now, I learn RAP in earnest by writing rap lines and practicing their flow [T/N: literally, "make lines and flow"] and I find this process very wonderful and fun.

Ah!  And there is one thing that has been bothering me lately!  I worry that it seems like my puppy Ruby won't be able to remember who I am because I haven't seen her in a long time.  Ruby~  Don't forget Oppa~ ㅜㅜ

I'm Back Again!

Sorry for the long wait guys!  I've started a new job at a child care center and am currently working almost full-time. :/  Yay, money for Korea, but boo I have less time to write.  I have another group of Korean students visiting (aka improvement of my Korean!) so I should have some more translations up soon.

Thank you all for being so patient!
Love you all.
