I am a person who is a regular at Bum’s Story.
I go to Bum’s Story hoping that I can talk to Jaejoong and maybe get a handshake too…haha
I will post two reviews and accounts that I have ^^
==================================================
Review 1
With 4 friends…we all went to Bum’s Story at night
We sat on the 1st floor at the corner that is located in the inlet
The weather was rotten and raining that day so we felt like eating jeon (t/n: Korean savory pancakes) with makgeolli (t/n: Korean rice wine, Bum’s Story is known for theirs)
From the second story we could hear the muffled sound of music playing…
The atmosphere was so nice that we sat and said nothing for a while.
The restaurant is just like a cafe because it is a place where you can sit and take pleasure in each others’ company…
Then the staff came in the middle of us sitting and enjoying and we ordered Kimchi pancake
Up until now it remains my favorite
I really planned to only spend 18,000 won but I really wanted the tasty Kimchi pancake, rolled rice, rice cakes and~~crabs…haha
We were eating and drinking happily but….
I forgot to watch…for Jaejoong.
Two of my friends said that Jaejoong was there…
So I began to look around wildly.
I was even bending over to look at a group of men who were sitting and eating thinking maybe he was there.
Then I saw Jaejoong, moving from the basement to the first floor and then to the second.
He kept moving so I only could catch a glimpse of the back of his head…I was desperate…
But he was going from floor to floor
What was he doing? Damn! What to do~~~
Then the staff came and said we were customers in the shop often… Haha
And asked if we would like to get a handshake…
I think we hit the jackpot right there….
Of course we were all in top excited mode…and of course when women get excited what naturally happens….ha
I had to go to the bathroom TT
When I was coming out, two steps away [from the bathroom] I saw Jaejoong signing for two people.
I had borrowed a ballpoint pen from the counter and had a sign I brought from my house.
But in the bathroom, I got water on it….TT
I mentioned to him I wanted his autograph and he said we should go back to my table and find other paper.
Luckily my friends had also brought album photos as well as an A4 sized paper in case we could get autographs.
We asked Jaejoong if he had any plans because we had not been able to meet him for a long time [t/n: as in, Koreans have not been able to see JYJ on stage for a long time]
He said that they do not have any domestic plans and the possibility of a concert here was 10%
He said that it was difficult to find venues for a reason that we all know….
And it was also difficult for activities in Japan.
But he said that he wants to try directing more and also will have more activities overseas…
Ah okay~
Oh! And he also talked about our Yoochun!
Two of my friends were Yoochun fans…and he said that if Yoochun did not come more often then he would take away his 10% shares in the restaurant…hahaha
Anyways, he was talking like that to us and…
It was all so good and happy.
Even though the weather was bad, it suddenly became such a beautiful day.
Oh! But there is one more!
My friend on telezone, June…it was her lunar birthday that day. I told him that.
She was not there because she had gathered with some friends
The jackpot continued some more
Because we are telezone friends I had June’s number…
And Jaejoong called her…
He told her that he would write a sign for her to have because it was her birthday
And then he wrote a sign for her as well…
And had to leave.
Because it was getting late…we ordered more rice wine…
And talked about Jaejoong! Haha
We had delicious food….
And with an encouraged heart headed home…
Ah, but what to do?? Even now I feel deeply moved after looking into his eyes….ah, I think I must have a sickness ㅠ ㅠ ㅠ ㅠ ㅠ ㅠ ㅠ ㅠ ㅠ
Review 2
Today I received the best birthday gift.
After leaving the office alone, I arrived at Bum’s Story and went to the second floor.
The [main] floor was filled with guests so we had it to ourselves, my sister even had menus waiting for when everybody came.
Today the rain came back so we were all craving pancake and rice wine!
We decided on getting seafood pancakes and kimchi pancakes!
Also we ordered endless amounts of apple rice wine
But my sister got strawberry haha
They gave us an extra order of kimchi pancakes on the house! Thank you~~
For three hours we chatted about various topics.
A few of JYJ’s dancers then appeared in the restaurant to eat and I suddenly felt a change in the atmosphere.
[The dancers] kept moving from place to place
And then Bum Story’s manager came to our table with Jaejoong himself.
He introduced us as frequent customers
And Jaejoong told him he knew and said hello.
My sister even shook hands with him.
Because this was Jaejoong, I rushed to the other side of the table to put on lipstick before greeting him.
I also took the photocard I received with my album from my wallet in order to give to him for an autograph.
But when I came over, he was at another table. So I called out to him.
And of course, the caring Jaejoong came back TT In order to sign…
And the kindly being Jaejoong signed my card..
…and even wrote the title “noona” for me (hahaha)
Because this was my moment of celebration, I told him…
…that today was my lunar birthday and all these guests had come to celebrate it
So together with them, he offered me birthday congratulations.
My heart was beating so haphazardly
I asked him about the South American concerts, and he said they were preparing
and also that they had an unlimited list of countries that they want to perform in.
He speaks in quite a deep voice, so it echos
Because of his face…many of my acquaintances emerged to see him up close.
My sister seemed especially drawn to him…
And these new fans of Jaejoong also asked him to please sign autographs for them.
It became a fan signing in the middle of the party~ That is the force of our Boss~
He even did handshake for many people
By the time he left, all of side dishes were gone and the regular dishes had come
Even though inflation has made a lot of places quite expensive, this place is still mostly inexpensive
Really this is the best
My thoughts on Jaejoong after all of this is that…
He is really very caring and warm.
Also Bum’s Story is too pretty and the food is so good!! Really we were very happy
To the friendly Bum Story’s staff, we have to offer our sincere thanks once again. We all appreciated the hard work that you put in during that night.
The memories I received that day were the most wonderful birthday gifts. Really, everyone looked happy.
These small but happy memories…I have stitched them together to form this note for you to read.

Must make a trip to Korea to visit Bum’s Story ASAP. Dammit, Jaejoong my birthday is on May 18, call me okay? ^__^
LOL YOOCHUN. These two (+Junsu) are so adorable!
Hey Greenbean!!! My birthday is May 18 too!!! Have JJ call me after you guys hang up k? ^_____^
My birthday is May 18 too.
should us greeting for you guys???^^
One more place to add to my have-to-go list in Seoul…
Ditto
WOW!!!!
¡OH gosh! ¡I have to visit Bums! It is a must when I travel to S. Korea.
@ Shuheilove
Care to carry me in one of your bags?
me second, dear!!!1
Awww JJ’s so sweet! “Because this was Jaejoong, I rushed to the other side of the table to put on lipstick before greeting him.” I’ll do the same! 🙂
so EXTREMELY fortunate!!!
They are so lucky. I wonder if I’ll meet Jaejoong too if I go to Bum’s Story end of this month.
sometimes it depends on luck lolol. my friends and i went to timeout gelato to catch a glimpse of YC (some yrs ago, heh). 3x we went there and never saw him [only Yoohwan]. in fact, i’ve seen YC’s dog more times than him. (sigh that’s what you get being around YC fans!!! you stalk his dog.) but in LA, unexpectedly, we met them at the hotel lobby.
yep that’s called LUCKY *sigh*
hope i can see JYJ again soo, so mizz them ~~~
hahaha,…that is why Jaejoong is hinting at Yoochun to come more often to BUM’s Story
otherwise he will take away his 10% share for not performing his duties.Honestly, I really doubt
he would be scare of Jaejoong because he does not even show his face at Gelato ,his own shop.
Jaejoong is just doing his duties as a owner or shall we say a very very famous owner..^O^ If the owner wish his business to be famous and to generate more income that he has to be there some of the time to oversea the quality
of the food and the services.Plus point is that because he is Jaejoong that it self would have generated all the sales quota for that month. The people who goes there first and foremost was to see him and second only for the food.
Second revisit would be because they like the food and the services plus the environment of the outlet.
I agree could not have said it any better. And I can see Jae being there even if YC was not because of the type of person he is. Boy I wish I was one of those customers who got a chance to meet Jae.
I have to LOL LOL LOL on your comment!
1.catch a glimpse of YC (some yrs ago, heh)
2.x we went there and never saw him [only Yoohwan]
3.C’s dog more times than him. (sigh that’s what you get being around YC fans!!! you stalk his dog.)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA… Yoochun is a ninja! We all know it, it’s hard to know where and what’s he’s doing.
“in fact, i’ve seen YC’s dog more times than him.” that’s super hilarious 😀
oh yea btw, JJ is the easiest to spot/meet than YC. JS is the hardest out of the three… or maybe the people I knew just didn’t have enough Junsu connections. ah the joy of dongbang-stalking.
waah, i can’t undo my last statement. for the record, i didn’t mean to mention the “db” word. it’s what I call it. i’ve never met the three as JYJ (seen only in vancouver perfs), so that’s why. sorry and i hope it won’t upset anyone.
Junsu’s father used to have a pizza shop but it’s closed now
so it’s so hard to meet Junsu in life, rite?
Unlike Jaejoong and YooChun, most of Junsu’s friends are from SM. He has been there since he was young so he has a lot of friends there. But unfortunately, as you all knew, his ‘friends’ ‘disappeared’. So yeah, you could say that compared to Jaejoong and Yoochun, who have more connection with the people outside of SM, Junsu is the hardest to find.
Note: I’m not saying that Junsu doesnt have a lot of friends outside of SM but Im trying to say that he has more in SM than out…
and I think among all the 3, Junsu is the one who doesn’t like to hanging out as much as JaeChun. You know, JaeChun loves to drink but Junsu cannot drink so that also one reason why it’s hard to meet Junsu
WOWWWW……I need to pack my things now. Need to go there! Need to meet my Jaejoong!
Omg. Lucky girls. I would go to Bum everyday if i had a chance to be in Korea
i swear i will go there soon, i swear !!!!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh how lucky they are T____T
Jeje is so warm, how can pp deny him, so amazing!!! Jaejoong oppa, plzzz wait for me, OK?
Yes JJ is. I think….after we get to his restaurant, we can be some stranded immigrants.
JJ will take us home…..
@Jae&JYJ: don’t forget ur husband dear.. ~Just saying. *evil laugh*
@ putrihs
I will be taking my annual leave, from office and hubby…..LOL!
many pp here are getting married ~~~ ❤
that's nice
@Jae&JYJ: noona, we can go there together *wink wink*
@ dautaocam
Sorry sweetie. late response. Surely you can come along….^___^
Gosh, if I can have JJ as my boss, I wouldn’t mind working in a restaurant for the rest of my life.
Fine!! can i life in Korea? i will celebrate Anything ANYTHING in bum’s story.. *sigh*
Sure you can sweetie. You can dwell at Chunnie’s….
or maybe i can change those 10% share into my name.. how about that? *delusional mode on*
hahaha! LOL! JJ always complaining about YC
Wow meeting Jaejoong like that, I’m so jealous *-*
I’m still hoping one day I will meet him up close and personal too, same with Chun and Junsu *-*
But I feel sad about the 10% possibilities of them doing a concert in Korea :(( because I’m planning to go to Korea to study this year for 3 years….and I would be so sad if they come to Mexico while I’m in Korea :((( I really want to see them in concert!!
This is why I love Jaejoong ^________^
I hope he gets good directing projects while Yoochun and Junsu are busy. I personally know how it feels when all your friends are busy, and you are wandering aimlessly (or it ‘feels’ like you are wandering aimlessly).
I hope they get to go to all those countries they have on this -oh-so-secret-list- ^^
THE FAN IS SO LUCKY! I wonder if after this more fans are going to become regulars at Bums
I just died a little inside 😦 . As soon as I get to Korea I bet there going to be overseas T______T
@ I-May-Nibble-But-JJ-Bites (@ail221)
Don’t ever lose hope! If you can’t see them, you can still see the photos and videos. And you still have us as your compatriots
Uggghh just being a fan for so long can be so frustrating T__T
such a sweet fannaccount^^
put on lipstick before greeting jaejoong?? keke~
btw, jyj3 not posting JYJ COME ON OVER here?though the video is already uploaded in dailymotion….
with eng sub^^
It’s illegal to post them up. 3V will take them down. So please, don’t mention on where COO or 3Voices is uploaded on JYJ3. Share it among your friends secretly if you like. But don’t mention it here. It’ll get taken down since they somewhat monitor this site.
even in korea, they have only 10%??……….. they cant in tv, they cant make concert…poor our boys!!!T___T
@anva: I’ve read the article, it is difficult to meet the old TVXQ members in korea. even though in the shopping area, or their family restaurant. they can only be found in airports or on stage, they are seriously an exclusive artist. therefore many people are amazed to sasaeng fans.. especially now JYJ not have an opportunity to appear on TV or make an event, is more difficult to find them.. >___<
@putrihs….just feel our boys like…homeless now!…ii know about Japan but Korea they still cant make the event,,,,i am so worry.
@anva: me too.. i just got
shocked when i read, its difficult
to make a performance in Korea.
WTH?! that’s their own country,
and many people want to see
them. . pleasee SK, u you do not
know what kind of treasure they
are..
i know..
but still be happy @anva they got loads of countries to choose from to be their third home..
hope its a western one..
@Mh34n Kim..I know..happy to see support from fans from over the wold…really…but home still home..HUGS!!!
@ UnderD’CoverswivJae (mh34nluvsJJ)
Hi dear….I tried to add your Twitter, but it is still pending. I do not know why it happens…
@anva: im so agree with ur
words.. there’s no place can
replace home..
@Jae& JYJ: @mhean already
following me, but i can’t follow
her too.. >___<
is everything sorted on that twitter thing?
it seems they have a bug lurking there.
I too get that..
@anva
yup,
as saying says:
there is no place like home.
@Putrihs
agree with u. As we all know, 99% JYJ’s activities are overseas. JYJ cannot be meet on tv and radio, unless they appear individually, so I really believe it’s difficult to meet JYJ in korea. Korean fans only can meet them through album fansign and drama. ..>.<
To this girl who wrote ths fanacct, if i went to korea, i’ll definitely ask you to company me. Guess Bum’s Story become the most attractive tourist place right now, hehehhee
@anva: me too.. i just got shocked when i read, its difficult to make a performance in Korea. WTH?! that’s their own country, and many people want to see them.. pleasee SK, u you do not know what kind of treasure they are..
He called her friend who wasnt even there to tell her HAPPY BIRTHDAY??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! O.O Is there someone like him???????? I NEVER in my life found an artist who is as humble and warm as he is ❤ ❤ ❤
No surprise I keep Falling, FAllinggggg, FALLinggggg, FALLINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG for this Angel xD
Bum’s Story address …………………… anybody know …………. please help, I am not Korean
Bum’s story address:
Seoul, Gangnam-gu, Nonhyeon-dong 94-17. Tel: 02-3446-6878.
Oh, I realizeddd !! JJ said there is a full list of countries they want to visittttt 😀 Are there any ARAB or Middle Eastern countires included????????? PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ JYJ come to Dubaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ❤ Or Egypttttttttt or Moroccoooo or Kuwaittttttttttttttt….LoOoOoOoL !!! JYJ have lots of Arab fanssssssssssssss ^^
When I go to korea (one day) Ill visit bum’s story everyday I hopes to see jaejoong. I’ll make it a mission.
Oh I miss jae so much… And I agree with you about the feeling when looking inside jae’s eyes… So deep so warm so caring so gentle… Feel like his soul meet our souls silently…
@anva: im so agree with ur words.. there’s no place can replace home.. 🙂
@Jae&JYJ: @mhean already following me, but i can’t follow her too.. >___<
I’s so shocked when knowing JYJ’s only 10% to perform in their own country???
I know they went through alot hardships to get their current’s position but I truly cannot imagine they’re in this terrible situation.
Now somehow I can understand why JYJ said in some interview that they’re crying in their concert in Korea. Because it’s pretty difficult and completely hopeless when they tried to perform in their own country because the reason you guys all know
I feel so sad and pity for them when reading this story!!!
I’m really disappointed Korean gov, they don’t have any policy or rights to solve this situation even though Korea is a developed and democratic country
I love that you went to the ( お ) 手洗い [o te arai ] ha ha ,that was really ..yes! you was very excited lol ♥♥♥
My sister and cousin went to Bum’s Story on the 30th for dinner but sadly he wasn’t there ): She even took pictures of the cars parked outside in case one of them was the boys’s XD I met Jeje 7 times and only 1 time did I get to “converse” with him…my korean skills went down the drain as soon as I saw him >.> I’ll improve more this time Jeje! Please come back to LA ^^
OMG @.@ 7times~ i envy you girl
myself only 1 times but not near, just a pass cuzz he walked too fast, u know? but his charm and beauty, none can deny it, it’s awesome, i feel like im in heaven that time, so bright and shine the world, he seems like not humanbeing ❤ even Junsu is walk right after him but i can't see anything, i can't even recognize Junchan, my bad!!!!!
i'm blind at that time LOL
how can i speak or say sth when JJ is in front of me, totally heart-attacked
@dautaocam: woow.. You can not even recognize Junsu? whereas those who had met with Junsu, said that Junsu is really shines and bright. I became curious, how shines and bright Kim Jaejoong is? o_O..
maybe we should try to proven it by our self dear but the question is when we can meet him ?
@ miaw:
In our dream? Surely not Indonesia, right?
nono i dun say that Junsu is not bright, everyone who meet JYJ said that in real life, YC and JS is better/more handsome than in photo, i totally agree with it ❤ in my case, maybe JJ is the one whom i saw first and beside that, he is also my bias so…..yep, hope u can understand it dear ^^~ Junsu in real life is so cute and a little skinny too, i dun understand why in photo he seems like chubby
beside that they all walk too fast T___T
if u keep eyes on one person, you will do not have time to see the others
@ dautaocam
They are all quite skinny. Chunnie and Junsu look chubby when JJ is around. JJ is surely the slimmest of three. And Chunnie is skinnier than Junsu too, except the cheeks, so Junsu looks like a chubby one.
@Jae&JYJ : yep, YC is skinnier than JS at that time cuz he was in busy shcedule for Miss Ripley, poor him, he just stayed in my country for around 10 hours T_____T
Jeje is so friendly, when he left hotel, he waved fans manytimes
T______T i mizzz them, really mizzz them now
when can i meet my 3 angels again?????
@ dautaocam
Lucky you. I would have lost my sanity if Junsu is passing next to me. I would hug him instantly.
@ putrihs
If it’s Yoochun, I will surely kiss him…on your behalf….LOL
If it’s Jaejoong, I will surely forget everything and throwing myself at him and do whatever I can do to his everything (JJ’s). His men in black can send me to the police after that, but hell I will make the best of it…..LOL
@Jae-is-Mine (Jae&JYJ/DBSKforever) : Huh! u wish dear.. im not gonna let u to kiss my bb. but i give u permit to touch him.. *wink*
“And then Bum Story’s manager came to our table with Jaejoong himself. He introduced us as frequent customers And Jaejoong told him he knew and said hello.”
I just love this. he remembered them. Love this man, what a adorable and caring person!
Im totally blown away by this crazy thing of going in a restaurant and haveing the possibility to see one of the boys…but just wondering why she didn`t put a picture of JJ signature ussualy facAccounts come with a pic or something ..But anyways lucky girl indeed 😀
Cool ladies…. reaction to seeing jae one went to toilet Lol, two put on lip stick lol fans are really cool is not oppa so hot anymore. YC, second boss don’t go to his own restaurent,big bOSS is complaining.
lol lol lol
Yoochun doesn’t go to his own restaurant, well he also rarely show up on his gelato shop. No wonder why the big boss is complaining
and Yoochun more prefer to go to other restaurant than his own place
LOL
I feel sad about the condition.. how come they having difficulties in their own country?
aaaaarrghh. I feel pity to korean fans.
Jaejoong is so sweet and delicate
lovely account! trying not to be envious! definitely going there next time i visit. every day! then off to gelato. i will miss the pizza though it was a fun place to go and delicious and junsu’s dad is very kind and happy!
nice FA
My birthday is on February 13! 😀 I want to go to Bum’s Story then Jaejoong will celebrate my birthday with me.. 😀
I wish I could go to Korea and see Jaejoong on my birthday.. :)))
