Jo Jung Suk Was Exempted from Military Service Because of Family Circumstances

I was searching more about actor Jo Jung Suk last night since I miss Captivating the King and found out that he's one of those artists who didn't enlist in the military as what other South Korean men were required to do. Of course, enlisting in the military also has eligibility requirements and the most obvious one is that one should be healthy. But this is not what Jo Jung Suk failed to deliver though, he was exempted because he's the only one provider for his mother after his father died in year 2000. He quit school just before he graduated and did musicals to earn money.   Our man, Jo Jung Suk, is a very respectable man for that matter. Taking responsibility of his only parent and continue on surviving on a daily basis with his hard earned money. His experience in musicals at a young age also piled up to hone him as one of the greatest actors in our day today. 

'Bright' SCANDAL

Everytime 'Bright' song is playing, I can't help but feel so sentimental about SCANDAL. It seemed like all their past experiences specifically their struggles in becoming the scandal band who we all witness today are becoming visible in my eyes and mind. The song is somehow transferring all the memories they wanted to express to me, it's so lovely. I don't know yet what's behind the lyrics of this song, but just by listening to it, I can already define its own meaning to me. T.T [creys] lol

So since I'm feeling this way, I feel like I can make lots of blog entries about them. I feel like sharing my stuff here about them, Argh! I just love this feeling towards SCANDAL, they make me feel how special their existence could be. Their songs are just amazing.

Let me start this sentimental blog entry about them..

SCANDAL before were just girls looking for something they really wanted to do, how they will express themselves and how they will reach their dreams that are yet unknown to them by that time.
SCANDAL came from Caless School from Osaka and Nagoya [READ: SCANDAL's Caless Yearswhich trains students about dancing and singing. Who would thought that they are going to get serious in making a band? 
Haruna was fond of dancing and yet involved herself in being the frontman of a band, singing to be exact. And so as they teamed up not knowing what they are about to do being a band, they struggled. No background in playing the instruments, they were all clueless. 

With courage and determination, they've practiced hard and dreamt of soaring the music scene.

Street performance by year 2006 [they have continuously did this every weekend since they've become active in Shiroten], only a few had seen them, who would actually want to see a starting band? "who is SCANDAL anyways?", people might have thought by then. With just a few audience they still  performed with all their heart not knowing what and who they will be in the future after that performance. They've worked hard enough that no one from us fans knew how much, but hey! seeing and hearing them today is already a proof how much they've given all their time to improve themselves in becoming a band. They've already cleared up what they wanted to do in life. Being in a band...a band dreaming to catch everyone's heart with their music around the world. 
And by August 26, 2012.. commemorating their Anniversary, 'Welcome Home' SCANDAL! They performed a Street Performance after years again. I bet a number of people filling the Budokan stadium won't stand a chance in having sentiments with these people who have attended on their Osaka Street Performance. I bet they feltl so nostalgic. 
[If only I could come there, and cheer for them .. sniff] 


SCANDAL for me is like a role model how to become successful through determination. They all started with "0", no experience in music but with all the courage, determination they gained love to what they are doing and came this far by 2012. Such a wonderful breakthrough, ahhh so inspiring!!!
