A reply from an officer of J.P. Morgan to a pretty girl seeking a rich husband

A young and pretty lady posted this on a popular forum: 

Title: What should I do to marry a rich guy? 

I'm going to be honest of what I'm going to say here. 

I'm 25 this year. I'm very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above. 

You might say that I'm greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York. 

My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married? 

I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you? 

Among those I've dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit. 

If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden(?), $250k annual income is not enough. 

I'm here humbly to ask a few questions: 

  1. Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym) 
  2. Which age group should I target? 
  3. Why most wives of the riches are only average-looking? I've met a few girls who don't have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys. 
  4. How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married) 
Ms. Pretty

Tuesday, March 13, 2012, 5:40 PM 0 comment/s



Yongguk

  • During Bang & Zelo promotions, there was a fan meeting and a small game called ‘5 Letter Talk’ where fans ask questions in 5 letters. The question for Yongguk was “What’s your favorite snack?” and he was really shy when answering “Home Run Ball.” 

Himchan

  • A fan @ the Youngdeungpo fan signing said to Himchan, “Oppa, you’re mine!!!!!!” in which he replied in her ear “You’re mine tooㅋ”
Fan: “Oppa, you have something on your face.” 

Himchan: “Good looks?” 
Fan: “Noㅋ Ugly looksㅋㅋㅋㅋ”
Himchan: ㅡㅡ

  • Someone saw B.A.P eating @ a seolleongtang place and she said Himchan kept eating the spicy radishes.
  • A fan had a placard that said “Beside Zelo” and Himchan who had seen it said, “But beside Zelo is me?”

Daehyun

  • He wasn’t very smart, but he was always a nice and optimistic kid. Although he didn’t know how to do a lot of things, he was good at singing. While other boys argue that the other person is at wrong when in fights, Daehyun always said he was at wrong and would reply in the manner of “Yes..I was wrong..”
  • When Daehyun got hit (T/N: I think the implication behind ‘hit’ is by being playfully hit, but I’m not sure), he would just laugh and that showed how much of a bright kid he was.
  • Daehyun’s latest interest is getting closer with fans, so he’s learning from Himchan.
  • A fan came to the fan signing dressed in a hospital gown and he was really worried about her (T/N: Didn’t translate this because…there was not much content lol).

Youngjae

  • There’s a photo in the Warrior album where all the members have their backs turned and a fan had asked him to sign the album. For a few seconds, Youngjae just stood there and the fan asked what was wrong. He said because they all had their backs faced, he didn’t know which one was him.

Jongup

  • He sprawls out on the living room in only his boxers. 
  • Jongup is in charge of dish washing in the dorm and he dances and hums to the music he plays while he dish washes with his rubber gloves.
  • On days Jongup’s tired, Yongguk doesn’t wake up Jongup and just dish washes.
  • Jongup’s “first love” is Kim Taehee.

Zelo

  • Zelo gave his friends online game items in trade for including him in their team for dancing/singing competitions
  • During Bang & Zelo promotions, there was a fan meeting and a small game called ‘5 Letter Talk’ where fans ask questions in 5 letters. The question for Zelo was “Do a sexy dance” and he asked if he really had to do it and Yongguk said yes. He sighed, stepped forward, and told the fans to look closely in that he’ll only thrust his pelvic 5 times. He did it exactly 5 times before getting embarrassed and running off.
  • Another question he received during the ‘5 Letter Talk’ was “What’s the secret to your good skin?” and he replied happily “My parents passed it onto me.”

»»» Japanese netizens continue their hate brigade towards Kim Taehee
, 3:05 PM 0 comment/s




Japan's "Anti Kim Taehee" movement continues to be on the rise and the level of strike against her is shocking some. The SBS show "We Want To Know" investigated the "Anti Korean movement" and also focused on the hate on actress Kim Taehee.

Recently, Kim Taehee's autograph session and commercial event for a pharmaceutical company were cancelled due to heavy criticisms and threats online. Activists in Japan reportedly went on strike and rallied against the company that hired Kim Taehee as the model.

On the said broadcast of SBS "We Want To Know," Japanese activists were heard chanting "Anti-Japanese actress Kim Taehee shouldn't come to Japan!" along with "Cancel her model contract" and "Anti-Japan shouldn't be active in Japan," while some were heard shouting "We will kill her if she comes!" 

Previously, Kim Taehee appeared in the Japanese drama "Me and My Star's 99 Days," but received online hate and criticisms after Japanese netizens found out that she is an advocate on the fight for Dokdo Island as Korean territory. In October 2011, Japanese netizens organized an anti-Korean protest in the country and voiced out their hate for the actress.

Meanwhile, Kim Taehee's agency also sent a statement about the issue and revealed that, "The rightists movement has become more aggressive with the aim of wanting to turn around the nation's instability after the nuclear accident."

Monday, March 12, 2012, 7:32 PM 1 comment/s



This was translated by Christina Kim and uploaded on the Shinee World Australia fan page.

She translated this from a Shinee fan page called shakizi kkadonam.

I’m not sure about this site so I think this is just a fans opinion but seems legit right?

Translations of SHINee teasers-

Onew: the murderer. Blue paint which is everywhere in Onew’s teaser photos: blue paint were used to hide crime scenes in Sherlock Holmes. Wearing clothes-to hide his hands which has blue paint on it.The only one smiling.

Key- the person who got murdered.Blue paint on his arm: evidence that Onew killed him.How he lies down and looks blankly at the space: similar to how a corpse looks.

Taemin: the person who saw the crime scene .
Green grapes: grapes are used for psychological purposes. Green is key’s hair colour.

Minho: the person behind this murder. No real evident evidence. Just that he looks really relaxed and comfortable.’

OK THIS IS FREAKY. So Jonghyun is Sherlock Holmes..?:0

He breaks into my house and feels my face and kisses me while I sleep. I don’t have a boyfriend because every one of them gets scared, because when he texts me saying “When do we hang out?” That man calls my boyfriend asking “Who are you and why are you calling out ____?” I can’t take this anymore so I change my cell phone number. I get a text message. “You changed your number :)” I go out to hang out with friends but the guy follows me on a taxi and purposely crashes my car. I almost die. I try to be angry after getting out of the car, but all I see is the man smirking. He goes through my closet and takes my underwear and when I’m not home he breaks in and takes pictures of my house and sends them to me. I go to my parents' house, he follows. I go on a business trip out of the country. This man follows. He copies my phone and is constantly watching. If I try to become a member on a website, somehow I am already a member. This man just slaps me in the face for no reason when I walk on the streets. He also gropes my breasts and touches my private space. This goes on for 9 years. So I have a drink, and I walk out and the guy is staring at me. I have already called the police, but it’s his “first offense” so the police don’t really care. They say he does it because he loves me.
