Get Ready for Super Junior's 4th Album in 2010: Buy 4th albums ONLY from Korean domestics CD stores! We Can’t Afford to Lose!
*****SPREAD THIS TO WHEREEVER YOU CAN!!! FEEL FREE TO TRANSLATE IT!!!******
P.S. Please spread this message to all ELF/SJ’d forums, blogs, facebook/twitter, to ask all ELFs to buy Korean version A of the 4th Album, to participate in boosting digital scores and voting! These are all the major things we should do to win in 2010! Let us create miracles for the 4th Album!
==========================
ELF, the 4th Album, We Can’t Afford to Lose.
==========================
After the release of the 4th Album, we do not know what is going to happen. As all of you would know, Han Geng is terminating his contract with SM, Kang-In may still not be coming back, Ki-Bum is concentrating on his acting, and also, Lee-Teuk and Hee-Chul have met the time to get into the army. And followed by that, all Super Junior members will also have to get into the army consecutively (for about 2 years), which means we are not sure if there is another Album.
The best-case scenario will be the continuation of SJ sub-groups, but SJ is now facing the “5-Year-Curse” of Korean male groups because they are celebrating the 5th Anniversary in 2010. Until now, only Shin-Hwa has overcome this curse and continued to perform as a group, and TVXQ has also reached their 6th Year. But how about us? There are still many problems ahead of us. Only if the 4th Album is successful, EXTREMELY successful, SJ would have the chance to continue. Because of our effort, now, we have the 4th Album. That’s why we work MUCH HARDER to get the 5th, the 6th Album…
In Korea, as we can see from Korean entertainment programs, SJ is at a place between popular and unpopular. We have to let SJ become the group that everyone will look up to through this 4th Album, and this depends on how hard we work!
There is not going to be 13 people on stage, feel sad? But we still have to face it.
Because no matter how many of them are on stage, SJ is still the group that we need to guard.
In fact, to make the 4th Album a great success, is the only best thing we can do, isn’t it?
If we miss the 4th Album, we may be missing them for forever.
So, we should give our love to them right away, at least, to leave a good memory.
Last year, although we had bought the 3rd Album, many people had bought them wrongly. Some thought that if they had bought a Korean legal Version of the album, then it would be reflected on the Korean local sales chart. Some even bought pirated versions of the album without realizing that…
This year, we cannot let these happen again!! Never!! Because the 4th Album is very likely to be the last, if you love SJ, please make sure that what you bought are all reflected on the Korean domestic album sales chart. If not, why do you have to buy it? We cannot afford to lose any single album.
==========================
Just by spending a few more dollars to make sure that everything is counted, isn’t that worth to spend?
==========================
If there are ELFs that still insist on supporting their own country’s album sales, then I can tell you: what Super Junior really needs is a respectable position in Korean Music Industry! In Korea, they are still not the King.
In fact, their popularity in overseas countries is already high enough, and so there is no need to show their popularity by the album sales in other countries.
This time, we must work hard on their career in Korea, their home country.
==========================
Regard each time as the last time, so we will not regret.
==========================
No matter what is your nationality or how long you have been in love with SJ, as long as you are an ELF, you have the duty to fully support them! We need your participation in the 4th Album!
==========================
Dearest ELFs, we cannot take any risk, we cannot afford to lose!
Please be prepared to devote ourselves fully!
==========================
Please read the following information carefully regarding purchasing the 4th Album:
Rules of Korean annual Album sales chart:
(1) The chart is based on the sales at Korean domestics CD stores
Only those albums purchased from Korean local stores will be counted.
[That means you cannot purchase them through CD stores in your country (YesAsia is not counted!!) It is because they get the albums directly from SME, which do not go through any Korean domestic music stores.]
(2) The chart only reflects the sales of Korean Version A albums.
Taiwanese version, Japanese version, Hong Kong version, Pirated version, B/C/D version, they are all not counted.
[Korean Version A album is the key of SJ’s success, so we must support, and buy as much as you can. And for versions of your country, they are used to fight for their coming to your country. So you can buy that too, buy both versions!!
Suggestion: Get Korean Version A through Korean music stores, and get the other versions in your country’s music stores.]
(3) Keep your receipt
As long as you have a receipt for the Korean Versions, they are all reflected on the sales chart. If there is anything wrong with the chart, we can show the officials that we have really purchased the album.
__________________________
*Hanteo chart is one of the most representable and important album sales chart in Korea. Therefore, many fans (like TVXQ, Big Bang and SNSD’s) will purchase CDs from Hanteo CD stores to boost the singer’s album sales. (http://www.hanteo.com/) It includes the sales of the affiliated music stores like LeeMusic, Hottracks, and Synnara.
==========================
The most reliable sellers of the albums for foreign ELFs (Attention to all foreign SJ forums): DVDHeaven, Synnara
==========================
Where you should buy 4th Album: (for foreign ELFs)
!!YESASIA & MUSIC STORES IN YOUR COUNTRY ARE NOT COUNTED!!
*Well, if you are VERY VERY EXTREMELY SUPER SUPER SURE that they get the CDs from Korean local CD stores, you're fine. But if they are getting the CDs from SME directly, and they claim that they are cheaper, then don't buy that, surely they are not counted!!! Make sure you check the source.
1)DVDHeaven is where you want to get your albums instead of Yesasia. (They sell albums at around the same price but Yesasia is not counted!!!) Their website is completely in English so there is no language barrier, and they accept credits cards, PayPal, and even Bank transmission. Most importantly, their sales are ALL reflected on Hanteo domestic sales chart. So please buy from there. (http://www.dvdheaven.com/)
**Though DVDHeaven claims that their sales are reflected towards Hanteo and MIAK chart, many Korean ELFs have not heard about this site. So, if you can use method 2 and 3, please use those instead. If you have no way to go with 2 or 3, then go to DVDHeaven, but not Yesasia, please.
2) Synnara is one of the largest CD retailer in Korea and all sales are reflected on major album charts. Their website is mainly in Korean, but they have a page with English instructions on how foreigners could buy from them. So this is the second best choice for foreign ELFs. (http://www.synnara.co.kr/j
*****3) Contact a Korean ELF to get the albums. 13SMF is a Korean ELF and has been doing bulk purchases for both Korean local ELFs and local ELFs since the 2nd Album. Over 10,000 ELFs have done purchases from her. I learned about her from Super Market (one of the largest Korean SJ fansites) and she is very reliable. If you can trust her, please contact her (IN English or Korean ONLY) rpwjd_wlsgml@naver.com) to ask for more details. She will send the albums directly from Korea to your home country. She is purchasing the albums from the Korean local music store Lee Music, and posters will be included.
Remarks: If you are getting the albums from Synnara or 13SMF, it's suggested that you will join with other ELFs to request fans clubs to do bulk order for you, or gather at least 20 ELFs to order together, so it works better for the sender and it is more economical,. So when you order, there should have one person-in-charge in every country/group to collect the money, so the albums will be send to the PIC and then re-distributed.
MALAYSIAN ELFs: Aten Teukie is organizing a bulk order of 4th Album from 13SMF, the Korean ELF who helps overseas fans to purcahse the album for Malaysian ELFs. If you are interested in joining, please visit: http://myelffor4jib.blogsp
