5/3/2009 (Sunday)
At 6:00am on 5/3, members of Tasanjisuk and fans from Japan and Taiwan, total 25 people take the bus heading for Kangwondo (江原道).
Through early morning thin fog, we arrive at the destination after 9:00am. Mountain wind makes me feel cozy and this is a fresh day for Jisuk’s being discharge from the army.
Jisuk’s family members, friends, people from his agency (?) as well as Jisuk’s senior, junior, and high-ranking colleagues in the army during the past 2 years are at the site.
It seems that Jisuk, wearing his military uniform, has gotten tanned since September, 2008 when I saw him last time. He looks stronger and he looks fresh whenever you look at him.
On this day, there are no news reporters on the site. According to staffs of Tasanjisuk Fan Club, it is Jisuk who asks the news media not to come. Due to the site of discharge is a GOP (General Outpost) area where the reception for visitors is disallowed. We are fortunately to meet Jisuk because of his being considerate.
On this joyful day, Tasanjisuk Fan Club presents a banner with pink heart plus Taiwanese fans prepare 3 lovely pink banners to welcome Jisuk. We, Japanese fans, make "uchiwa" with Jisuk's picture and using green leaves at the background as our gift for Jisuk.
Upon being presented with a bouquet of red roses, Jisuk greets us. He says, “The military life has passed earlier than I thought.” Yeah, it’s been fast … one has to experience it to say that. We could view the situation of military training and hard toil from internet. Can’t imagine the painful experience. Thank Jisuk for completing the military service safely and becomes stronger.
I observe that Jisuk has tears in his eyes when he hugs his colleagues. It is nice that he experienced precious military life with colleagues with whom he has predestined relationships.
We present 2 “uchiwa” to Jisuk, 1 for Jisuk and 1 for Jisuk’s mother. Jisuk’s mother should feel relieved that her son returns from the army safely and stronger. From now on, Jisuk’s mother will be with Jisuk happily and starts to worry about him … mother is always serious.
Other delighted events happen during this welcoming ceremony as well.
Miss Judy, who is one of the active members of Tasanjisuk Fan Club and could speak Japanese well during fan meetings, is currently studying in Japan. Thus, she could not attend the upcoming fan meeting. As a result, the other staffs of the fan club are learning Japanese language now for the 5/10 fan meeting, and they are learning some Japanese from us while the bus is heading for the site where Jisuk is discharged from the army. It is not easy to learn a new language in a short period of time. From their caring and persistence attitudes, I believe that the upcoming 5/10 fan meeting will be a warm meeting.
*** The next few paragraphs introduces the formation and structure of Tasanjisuk Fan Club. I will translate this portion later. ^-^ *******
Suh Ji suk will resume his career as an actor. Ideally .. “A person is rewarded by his endeavor” … I consider that it means “fairness” and “equality”. He has been active and known in the army as a new actor. Jisuk said, “I expand horizontally (as a true person) while others extend upwardly." During the past 2 years when he was not an actor, through new experience and meeting new people, he enhances his acting skill by expanding himself as a person during this valuable period of time… I believe. I sincerely pray that Suh Ji Suk will become a splendid actor through his persistence after he completed his military service. From now on, Jisuk’s fans and I will brightly and joyfully support Jisuk to take on the new challenge.

Hi, everyone, annyonhaseyo ~~(*^_^*)
As all of you know, 役員様 and I visit Korea to welcome Jisuk’s discharged from the army.
The weather looked like raining on 5/2 .. but the weather forecast for 5/3 is sunny. Jisuk will exit the army with smiles in the fresh green…
At 6:00am in the morning of 5/3, the fog is so thick that we are concerned about the weather. However, the fog clears and it becomes a fresh “sunny day in May”. Isn’t it matching Jisuk so well?^^
There are 25 people of us including 2 fans from Taiwan, 3 fans from Japan, Korean fans and staffs of Tasanjisuk Fan Club taking a bus joyfully heading for the destination like having a scenery tour ^^ We arrive at the destination at 9:00am…..
We don’t even realize before we arrive at the destination …
That …
Jisuk has already arrived there!!! Ha Ha.
えぇぇぇぇぇぇ~~!!! I take a look at Mr. Jisuk before I get off the bus!^^ This is what we call an incident. We should be the ones to welcome Jisuk but he turns out to be the one to welcome us, which is interesting ^^;;
When I look at Mr. Jisuk, I think,”it seems that his face has become smaller ~~~!!” It is probably that he lost weight than he was in last September. Anyway, his face becomes smaller fast~ He looks really handsome~!
Jisuk is chatting with his manager, the high-ranking officer in the army, his friends and staffs from his management agency (?) His hair grows longer. Won’t his hair grow even longer at the time of the upcoming fan meeting? He says, “But, I like my hair shorter.”
It seems that his uniform doesn’t suit for him. Even so, this is the last time he wears the uniform, a deep emotion. Job well done.
The fan club and Taiwanese fans present the welcome banners. We Japanese fans present the household hand-fans to Jisuk.
Ms. Ally is video-taping the ceremony. It takes twice of filming for Ms. Ally to say OK. Then the touching welcoming ceremony ends smoothly ^^
The scenes in the video tape include the military facilities along the road, Jisuk exiting the army site and walking towards us (in our clapping sound), fans presenting a bouquet of red roses, and the interview with Jisuk.
Jisuk lowers his head to smell the scent of red roses when he gets the bouquet of flowers. He is such a photogenic person ~^^ My heart throbs あああああああああああ~~~ when I watch the scene. Ha Ha.
After Jisuk received our present “uchiwa”, he pronounces “U-Chi-Wa” using Korean phonics. He pronounces those words with clear and beautiful voice.
Here are my thoughts after this welcoming ceremony:
Jisuk look very good in his calm and dignified expressions. He looks like that he is satisfied with accomplishing a milestone and learning various things. He continues to become more masculine, stronger and tougher. Staring firmly at the front, he works hard to overcome his weakness.
The existence of Tasan members and fans is the support for Jisuk’s perseverance. Tasanjisuk Fan Club was established by Jisuk’s good friends and Ms. Judy at the time when Jisuk was not well-known to people. Its members consist of staffs and Korean fans.
I like Jusuk very much and I like Tasanjisuk Fan Club as well. Jisuk is so blissful that he has been deeply loved and trusted by such a group of nice fans. Likewise, it is great that Tasanjisuk Fan Club is trusted by Jisuk. As one of the members of Tasanjisuk, I feel really happy.
Back to the subject^^;;
After the touching welcome back from the army ceremony, it is time for Jisuk and us to leave. Jisuk faces his colleagues and salute “Loyal & Faithful!” and hugs his colleagues. I feel crying when I see that Jisuk has tears in his eyes, but I try my best to hold my tears. The touching scene has been planted and burning in my mind.
I could imagine the trusts from Jisuk’s superior officer in the army as well as the admiration from his junior colleagues. There are so many nice people surrounding Jisuk.
We finally return to Seoul. (Did Jisuk take another car back to Seoul?) ~^^ He must have gone home to spend time with his parent. ^^
Here ends my report which seems long. Thank you.

ジソク君の除隊1(役員様編)
2009年5月3日(日)快晴
午前6時ソウルを、カフェスタッフや韓国・台湾・日本ファンを含めて25人ほどのグループで江原道へ向けてバスで出発。 早朝の濃い朝霧、朝もやの中を抜けて、出迎えの約束の場所に着いたのは午前9時過ぎ。 山間の心地好い風を感じながら、爽やかなジソク君にぴったりの快晴の除隊日となりました。
その場所には、ジソク君のマネージャーさん、お友達と事務所関係の方(?)、そして、軍隊での2年間ジソク君の上司かつ先輩・アドバイザーであった幹部様の姿もありました。軍服姿のジソク君は、昨年9月のセンパの時からさらに日焼けして・・一層引き締まった印象。 さらに小顔(一体どんだけ~~)になったジソク君は逞しく、いつ見ても爽やかで格好良い男です。
この日、メディアの姿はなし。 カフェ知己の話によれば、ジソク君がメディアの方へ来てくれるなとお願いしたのだとか。 GOPでの除隊ということで一時はファンの出迎えも出来ない状況でしたので、幸いに叶った除隊お出迎えに、ジソク君もゆっくりとファンと一緒だけの時間を配慮してくれたのでしょうか。。。
さて、このめでたき日・・カフェが新たに準備したピンク基調のハートマーク入り横断幕、台湾ファンの用意したピンク基調の可愛い横断幕を加えて3つの横断幕がジソク君の除隊をお出迎えしました。わたしたちは、爽やかな新緑イチョウの葉を背景に敬礼姿のジソク君の画像で手作りのウチワを持参で参加です。
カフェから赤いバラの花束が贈られ、ジソク君の除隊挨拶。「思ったより早く過ぎた軍生活だった」とか。
早かった・・・過ぎて初めて言える言葉ですね。 ネット情報で伺える軍隊での訓練や役務の様子で、それは辛く大変な経験だったと想像できます。 無事に軍役を果たし、一層逞しくなって戻って来たジソク君に、お疲れ様、そして、ありがとう。
最後に幹部様と固く抱き合い一瞬泣きそうになったジソク君の表情を見ながら、それがジソク君の軍生活での貴重な出会いとご縁になったことを嬉しく思いました。
そして、わたしたちが持参したウチワのうち2本がジソク君の手に渡りました。1本はジソク君本人へ、そしてもう1本はジソク君のお母様へ。 無事に逞しくなって戻って来た息子ジソク君に安心されたことでしょう。
よく他山カフェをご覧になるというお母様。 これからまた、俳優ソ・ジソクのお母様として幸せと心配事が始まりますね・・母はいつも大変です。
今回5月3日のお出迎え行事に参加して分かった嬉しいことが他にもありました。
カフェの行事の度に名MCとして活躍してきたjudyさん。 日本語も殆ど支障なく操るカフェの強力な運営人のお一人ですが、現在日本へ語学留学中の彼女は今回の歓迎会には参加できません。そんな中、5月10日のジソク君除隊歓迎会の準備に忙しいカフェの運営人・スタッフのみなさんは日本語の勉強をしていました。 3日、除隊の出迎えに向かうバスの中でもバッグに日本語教本を忍ばせて・・・。
言語は決して短期間で習得できるものではありませんが、こんなスタッフの配慮や頑張りで10日の歓迎会も温かい行事になるだろうと今から確信しています。
俳優ソ・ジソク、演技者としての再スタートです。
理想論かもしれませんが・・「人は頑張りの分だけ報われる」・・それこそ「公平」・「平等」の精神だと思います。 軍での服務中、他の演技者や新人の活躍を知りながら・・「他の人が上に伸びる時、僕は横に(人間としての幅が)広がっていますから・・」と言ったジソク君。
軍での2年間が俳優としての空白期間ではなく、新たな出会いと経験を通して、人としての幅を広げ演技により深みを加える心身ともに貴重な期間であった・・と信じ、除隊後の頑張りが俳優ソ・ジソクとして立派に実を結ぶことを心から祈念し、ジソク君の演技者としての新たな挑戦を皆さんと一緒にこれからも明るく楽しく応援して行きたいと思います。
