I was extremely happy when I read this news yesterday that I wanted to post it immediately. However, I was at the meeting when I found out about this news.
Gosh! What can I say? This Youtube thing is making me crazy about PK, KHJ and So Min. I'm so happy for them and to all PKissers who support this wonderful show. I still don't buy the ratings in Korea being low since I don't care much about it, but having around 800K hits in just 3 days in YT is a great feat. And now, here comes CNN, this is definitely DAEBAK!

Some antis may think that it's only a few people clicking it but these antis need to have some life. If you will just visit the site and check the comments, it shows that the show has a lot of following, not only in Korea but all over the world. Based from the comments, you can see that there are a lot of comments on the site and videos itself. And if you will check it further, the comments are written in different languages. So antis, better stick to your own idols and click their videos as many as you can. Pity on you!

Congratulations PK Team, to Kim Hyun Joong and Jung So Min! Of course to Group 8 (do I have to include the very supportive MBC (in a sarcastic way)? DUH! Haha. I don't think so! This Youtube thing is Group 8 idea, i think. The staff and crew who are working hard! I'm sure they're very proud of this show. And to all fans of PK all over the world, Hyunnies, Triple S, So Min's fans...MinJoong or HyunMin shippers, waaah! Whoelse? Thank you for making YT special edition successful. Before I forget, let me thanks all the subbers who work day and night to translate these videos into English and other languages. You guys are our heroes! To all blog writers who made their reviews, bad or good! Thanks! Because of you, PK became the talk of the whole world! Haha. I feel like I'm part of the cast, or I've won something as a part of the team! LOL

Playful Kiss Fighting!
Kim Hyun Joong! you're not just an Asian superstar now! You're a world star! Keep working hard, but don't sacrifice your health! You're still young and the best is yet to come! Please take care of your wifey! You're lucky to have So Min! LOL
