Yes, this is old news.  JHJ’s birthday was on May 9 and CAFE’s birthday party for him was a few days’ earlier (on May 4 – see JHJ’s autographed photo for them below.)  But CAFEJapan has just released the video.  We’re sure you’d be interested.  We are!

Many thanks to Param of CarpeDiemJAPAN!

This is the last you’ll see of JHJ’s birthday party here.  We are feeling very mad because we’ve just been told to delete that photo of JHJ with foreign fans that we posted earlier.   Please see this link: 

http://jo-hyun-jae.com/2011/05/10/jhjs-birthday-party/

Certain fans whose faces are already blurred do not want that photo posted on this blog (even though it’s posted everywhere.)  Now we ask you: Who’s interested in their unrecognizable faces (but we know who they are!) and their figures?  And why should they deprive other JHJ fans of the right to see a radiant JHJ with his foreign fans (the others)?

JHJ opens his birthday gifts from CAFE.  Apart from the Armani and Diesel, perhaps the most meaningful are the books of birthday messages from his Korean and Japanese fans.

We knew JHJ wouldn’t forget CAFE (CarpeDiem), his oldest Korean fan club that has been with him from the very beginning (since 2000.)  EVER hosted his birthday party on set, but as it turned out, he has already celebrated his birthday with CAFE earlier.

NOTE: Video added to yesterday’s post “JHJ’s birthday party”.

These are from our Japanese friend Makky’s site – http://club.brokore.com/sodonyo.  They sent JHJ a flower box and a bottle of 1980 (year of his birth) vintage wine.  (JHJ loves red wine!)  Please note the ribbon with their site’s name and logo.  Lovely presents, Makky!

While waiting for decent photos, here are some (no good, sorry!) to satisfy your appetite for the time being.  These photos (probably stolen shots) are such funny sizes because we cropped them (they were much worse before.)

On his birthday JHJ presents gifts to “49 Days” staff – this is warm reversal*

On his birthday JHJ presents a sports jacket to every “49 Days” staff member.

JHJ who is currently filming the SBS Wed./Thu. drama “49 Days” had a surprise gift for the hardworking staff on the day of his own birthday — a sports jacket.

The staff expressed their warm response: ”It’s his birthday but he gives us presents instead, for which we are very grateful.  The drama is receiving good reviews.  Good things are coming in threes — wonderful!”

On set all the actors and staff celebrated JHJ’s birthday amidst a most heartwarming atmosphere.  JHJ’s fan clubs are also expected to hold a birthday party on set.

JHJ said: “On my birthday I’d like to show my appreciation for the very hardworking staff.  Very happy to celebrate my birthday during filming.  Very grateful to my fans who come to set to hold birthday party for me.”

(* ED: Our translator explains that Koreans call something surprising or unexpected “reversal”.)
