Japanese Names
I'm watching now SJM Celebrity Tour Guide and I noticed that they translated their names to mandarin (piyin) and I though: " Since I'm learning Japanese why I don't translate thieir names to japanese too?". That was indeed a very good idea indeed, because I have some problems saying their names in japanese acent and I know it's the same thing with Chinese people (I personally loved Ryeowook's name, it sounds so feminine. : ) ), but why I should do this with only Super Junior? So I decided to make it with SNSD, SHINee and f(x) too. Enough of my blabbering, here's the list:
