My Chinese/Mandarin standard is not too bad but obviously not as good as those China/Taiwanese people... so pardon me if some of the translations look abit off. I am doing my best----------------------------
KIM RYEOWOOK - The Golden Chef Volunteer- by Henry
I can't really remember when exactly I first met Ryeowook hyung. Since being selected from the auditions in 2006, entering the company and living alone in Korea to fight for my dreams, only two years have passed. However in memory of this training period, Ryeowook's gentle and warm image will constantly appear in front of me. I never ever thought that 2 years later, I would actually have a chance to work so closely with this Super Junior hyung whom I respected and envied so much, and working together in China to realize our dreams.
Hyung's Mandarin CrazeIn order to prepare SJM's first Mandarin album, the members frequently recorded till late in the night. Sometimes, we got so busy that we did not get to rest at all the entire night. Hankyung hyung and Zhoumi hyung were even busier, trying to teach everyone Mandarin and correcting our prounciations and tonations.
In this album, Ryeowook had alot of singing parts. When he is alone, he will look at his Korean romanization/tonation signs of the Mandarin lyrics and read it over and over again. At times, he will grab a hold of me when I am by his side memorizing my lyrics and ask me, "Is this how you pronounce this word? I feel that it sounds odd. Did Hankyung-hyung teach us wrongly?"
(cookiedough: ROFL! Hangeng is CHINESE!!! Of course it cannot be wrong my cute little wookie!)At times, I myself was not able to get the correct pronounciation/tonation of the word, so together with Ryeowook hyung, we would go look for Donghae hyung to seek help. Donghae hyung would look at the copy of Korean tonation lyrics sheet, then scrutinize his own part in the copy that he is holding to repeatedly check..... but in the end, with two helpless hands open, he said "I think we should just look for Hankyung hyung and ask him".
Hence, in the end, it ended up with 3 of us looking high and low for Hankyung hyung.
Ryeowook hyung has a very good voice and his singing skills are amazing. After correcting the pronounciation of his lyrics again and again, he was able to grasp the song very quickly. Even though the song is in Mandarin, he continued to sing with his infectious, moving voice which undoubtedly leaves people admiring his singing abilities.
Ryeowook's favourite song is "THE ONE". This is a 2008 Olympics song and is a song about the fighting with determination and moving forward bravely. The lyrics were even written carefully by Zhoumi hyung and are written very well indeed.
After listening to the recording of this song, everyone was very satisfied. Ryeowook hyung said, "Just thinking about our fans humming or singing along to this SJM song of ours while watching the Olympics... my heart really feels extremely happy."
Ryeowook hyung also prepared a Mandarin song - Wang Lee Hom's "Kiss Goodbye" and sang it live for our fans. He sang it in such a moving manner that everyone in the audience was captivated by his voice and deeply attracted to him.
After the first program (where he sang this song for the first time) ended, hyung secretly told me that while he was singing "Kiss Goodbye", he felt like he was going to faint very soon because he was extremely anxious and nervous and was worried as to whether the fans would like it or not.
(cookiedough: Awww WOOKIE.. you are such a cutie... your voice is so amazing... and honestly I love your version so much more than Wang Lee Hom's one because you sound so much more gentle and emotional!! )
Our Hostel's ChefAfter our arrival in China, Ryeowook hyung's culinary skills improved very speedily! When we were in our hostels, we were often able to eat delicious food even in the middle of the night. I heard from Donghae hyung and Hankyung hyung that Ryeowook hyung also often cooks for the members even back in Korea - peeling apples, cooking ramen etc. And in China now, Ryeowook hyung has learnt how to cook some yummy Chinese dishes
(cookiedough: I LOVE YOU RYEOWOOK!!! You are soo sweet and thoughtful!! AND you can sing AND cook well? MARRY ME! haha!)Ryeowook hyung has a huge interest in Chinese food and even passionately researched the way of making 'shao bing' (note: some kind of small flatbread.. go google and you will find it!). Although the final product received some naggings from Hankyung hyung, but I felt that aside from being just abit hard, the taste was not too bad!
There was once at 12am, Ryeowook hyung was still awake. After asking, then I found out that he was preparing breakfast for Donghae hyung who had to wake up very early the next day. This is how Ryeowook hyung silently shows his love and care towards the members.
This reminds me of my period as a trainee.... there was once I was practicing in the room till very late and was so tired that I fell asleep on the floor without packing up my things. Ryeowook, who was also practicing his piano till late in the piano room, walked pass and saw me sleeping. Afraid that I would get sick by sleeping in this manner, he woke me up and even gave me a packet of biscuit to take care of my stomach which I had neglected by practising my dance nonstop without dinner.
Actually, Ryeowook hyung is also extremely busy. Even with only 1-2 hours of sleep, he will not care about his fatigue. Once practice ends, he will toss his things aside and prepare good food for all the members. This is how Ryeowook hyung takes care of all of us.. just like a real brother... causing all of us to be very touched.
Ryeowook hyung loves watching me play the violin the most, always saying "Fantastic! Fantastic!" whiel at the same time in his eyes there will be glints of his tears which he is unable to suppress. Seeing how moved he is by my violin playing, I always feel moved by his sensitivity and his kind heartedness.
After the Sichuan earthquake happened and watching news after news about the tragic situation, Ryeowook hyung cried as he was updating his CY. But this kindhearted Ryeowook also has a stubborn side! While on the plane, he will look for me and Kyuhyun who are without any make up to take a photo together.. and just like that, our raw faces get uploaded onto his CY!!! What will our fans think after seeing the photos!!?!?!

sorry for the cookiedough comments which I inserted, feel free to remove them if you want to post them but do keep the credits there.
But honestly, as I was typing out and readnig the article, I felt my love, admiration and adoration for Ryeowook grew 100x more (if that is even possible since I love him so much already). I just knew it... Ryeowook is just a truly nice and kind hearted person.. and I definitely did not misplace my support in him.
Reading this article makes me respect him even more.. how he takes such care of his members... even when he has so little sleep.. and I never knew that him and Henry knew each other for so long already. No wonder it was reported that Ryeowook cried when fans were being harsh and mean to Henry.
I love you Kim Ryeowook. As a singer and as a person. Ryeowook fighting
I will always support you.
