Goodbye People

Posted on July 27, 2008 by coolsmurf

It’s the end of the road. I didn’t even have time to react. Shock and disbelief engulfed me because I was happily in the midst of uploading Wonder Girls fan meeting videos when this message just hit me.

(extract from Youtube’s email) This is to notify you that we have removed or disabled access to the following material as a result of a third-party notification by SBS International, Inc. claiming that this material is infringing:

Star King #65 – Blind Pianist Ye Eun & Connie Talbot
Star King #65 – Connie Talbot Interview and Sings Again
Star King #65 – Connie Talbot Sings Over The Rainbow

Xman, Love Letter, Wonder Girls, Charice, Yoo Ye Eun and We Got Married. I am glad and hope that you have enjoyed them as much as I did while it lasted.

I am sorry to Charice and her fans that I couldn’t quite keep it going.

(many thanks to ellie@charicediva.com for the capture)

Videos: 783 | Subscribers: 23,523 – Stats that will live with me

I am putting subbing at the back of my head. After what has happened, please understand my situation. I am sorry to Connie Talbot and her fans because after being suspended over 3 videos with her in it, who can I blame at that very moment? I know that it’s not her fault nor her management now.

I am surprised I have lasted this long. It’s been fun for the past two years. Anbiholic fan, Orange has gotten a petition going for me and I have my own obituary thread in soompi forums (the place where I got started).

After all the drama, I am touched by all your words. I have read every word that each of you have written and thank you all for the company all these while. All your comments good or bad is the source of energy that drives me on.

I am so upset that this happened because you were one of the only people I subscribed to and checked everyday. Omg, all those Xman videos are gone? I can’t believe this happened because I was just on your channel 20 minutes ago. Seriously though, you really do have a lot of fans out there. FIGHTING!

Coolsmurf/Alvin, fighting! your supporters will be always with you!

Youtube will never EVER be the same without you. I’m incredibly disappointed with how things ended up and I wish you all the best, seeing as how there’s very little i can do for you.

If you do choose to remain here, I can assure you, you will have nothing but our gratitude and support. We love you man.

zerohundred on July 27, 2008 at 1:06 am said:

P.S. SBS etc. are morons if they choose to call the subbing of videos copyright infringement. It’s like free advertisement!
junita on July 27, 2008 at 1:06 am said:

canelle on July 27, 2008 at 1:07 am said:

WHAT??!! i can’t believe they did this to you! i’m so sorry for you alvin =( now i think about it, a lot of my love for everything kpop related wouldn’t have happened without you and all this X-man madness…i’m really grateful for all the work you’ve put into this over time! i’ll miss your videos so much.
Alvin, fighting !!!
zerohundred on July 27, 2008 at 1:08 am said:

I keep adding onto my last note, but DUDE, I’m just shocked. Please don’t give up BLOGGING at least. You’re one of the only sites worth reading!
breezy on July 27, 2008 at 1:08 am said:

I can’t believe this happened.. I’m shocked and I can only imagine how u feel.. All you have done these past few years.. XMAN, all those memories. I thank you for all your hard work.. You have been a major part of my kpop addiction. You introduced me to so many artists, shows etc… You have made me appreciate kpop, so I thank you for that.. Whenever you want to comeback, I’ll be supporting you all the way…

We all love and appreciate you.
Much love.

SBS is SO STUPID. Is Connie Talbot’s management company involved in this? If they are they are also stupid. How the hell did international fans know about kpop, and Connie, if not for youtube, and specifically, YOUR youtube account?

I know for WGM you said others have been subbing as well, but if you notice, people keep coming back and comment on your vids (the other account (for WGM) never has as many comments as you do), because of the quality of the vids and the dedication that you showed us.

For WG, while there are other accs that also upload WG vids, yours is the most comprehensive, and I always love reading your short comments on each vids. You’re such a nice fan, and it’s nice to watch a vid from a fellow fan, you know? XD

And your xman vids…your xman vids kept me in the room while i should be outside frolicking with my friends XD XD they were THAT addictive.

Maybe you are really angry right now – heck, hundreds of vids you spent time on uploading these 2 years were gone in a blink of an eye! But…………………………..when you have had time to recover from the shock, think of us. Think of the (online) friends and fans. Even if you don’t come back…please know that we appreciate all the things you did , and it’d be nice just to see you on youtube once in a while (uploading random vids, not kpop :D)

I hope you at least keep the blog XD It’s THE ONLY kpop blog that’s clean and objective and nice out there. And wondergirls blog, too.

Yesterday i found out that gomdorii channel was suspended and today it’s yours. NOOOO!!!! Your channel was the best 😦
It was the channel that made me like youtube.
K1 on July 27, 2008 at 1:09 am said:

i can’t believe. suddenly it said “account suspended”. i refreshed my page 6 times to make sure. youtube truly won’t be the same anymore. i always looked forward to your updates. you made me a fan of any show or music group you uploaded. i appreciated your subs so much because I am not korean and do not understand the language. thank you for all your hard work over the years.
Karla on July 27, 2008 at 1:10 am said:

NOOO!!!You’re channel was what got me into Kpop in the first place,i watched every single one of your videos.*sniff*
Stupid SBS and Connie Talbot, well not the girl but her people.
lad33x on July 27, 2008 at 1:12 am said:

omg i’m really sad about the news. i thought you’d last forever but then again you lasted way longer than other people who also subbed gameshows like x-man etc. thank you so much for all your uploads, it’s your yoon eun hye and kim jong kook videos that got me into the couple and then to kpop and wonder girls. definitely your blog is the ONLY blog that is worth reading. again thank you so much!!
asslol on July 27, 2008 at 1:12 am said:

OMG!!!! How can this happen?? Without you, my life won’t be same anymore!! SO sad…. We always support you and never know that this day will come. Thanks for giving us great entertainment with all videos that you upload. son sad that i want to cry now… T___________T
mathiaslucius on July 27, 2008 at 1:12 am said:

OMG PLEASE COME BACK! YOU ARE LIKE THE ONLY 1 UPLOAD ALL THE VIDEOS FOR WG FANS YOU’VE GOT LIKE THE BEST QUALITY! PLEASE CONTINUE FIGHTING ALVIN!

PLEASE ALVIN KEEP THE WG BLOG AND YOUR BLOG! PLEASE OMG!ITS YOUR BLOG THAT KEEP ME UPDATED ABOUT WG!
lilvi3tgrltlt on July 27, 2008 at 1:16 am said:

i don’t get it.. why can’t they just take off the videos instead of closing down your channel? you’re the 4th one that i lost on my subscriptions list.. totally not fair. i started into all the korean stuff from coolsmurf first.. from the xman videos, seriously.
sehjy(Jesmah)sehj26 on July 27, 2008 at 1:17 am said:

oh no….
Alvin(coolsmurf)
I’m one of your subscriber.. i feel sorry about what happened.
don’t worry we will still be your subscriber & definitely a fan, i will support you.. and we love you..
don’t be sad.. OK

OH MY GOSH!
this is horrible. now what am i going to do on youtube??? D:
sigh. oh well.
you’ll still be doing this blog right? -hope hope-
Lori on July 27, 2008 at 1:18 am said:

This is terrible! I was your fan since the xman days and you made me grown to love Yoon Eun Hye and Kim Jong Kook. Your videos were the best. There are hardly any subbed videos of xman or love letter posted nowadays but it was nice while it lasted. I am YEH&KJK fan to a Wonder Girls fan through your wonderful subbed videos.
Over the last 2 years you accumulated over thousands of loyal supporters. I think you are a celebrity in your own right. So good luck and thank you.
mathiaslucius on July 27, 2008 at 1:18 am said:

Can you just start it from scratch again?OMG HOW CAN THEY DO THIS!
sunflowersarles on July 27, 2008 at 1:22 am said:

OMG! I am so sad. Of all people, Connie Talbot???? I mean,she is good but …

I will miss WGM and Charice’s videos, especially the first one which brought her YT fame. Your videos were part of her professional history. So sad.

bb on July 27, 2008 at 1:25 am said:

WTH… this is rubbish??? Is not like you were uploading the whole show… and futhermore, your youtube video brought fame to a few of them….how could they do this??

Coolsmurf… just wanna let you know.. that whatever reason your account got suspended..thats just within youtube… alot of us are supporting you and rooting for you…

So don’t give up… alot of us are supporting you!!!!!!

Agreed with hariboocyt can we do anything for you? petition or something?i’m sure with the amount of fans they would definitely take note.

you must be really disappointed alvin, take a rest if you must.
but please do comeback.
i enjoyed every minute and every letter of your posts.
it was a blast.
i don’t know where to go now.
almost all of the decent and credible bloggers and uploaders are suspended or have quit.
i am lost…
YooBin on July 27, 2008 at 1:28 am said:

didnt they warned you before?

I dont like it when they just delete you without any warning

youtube sucks ~ many of my friends were deleted already often just because of one video from any not interesting star

maybe just upload the really important things but 2 years are gone now ~
its too bad
we all know what you did for us ~ we keep in our mind forever
and I think everyone know that youtube smells like poo lol

RatskE2003 on July 27, 2008 at 1:28 am said:

Oh my god.. I was just on your channel watching Yoobin’s solo and now its gone :/… I saw on the news recently that there were companies threatening youtube, wonder if they pick popular channels to suspend so that viewers will put pressure on those companies.

Thanks for all those subbing you’ve done.
fresh02 on July 27, 2008 at 1:30 am said:

First, I just want to say I’ve enjoyed MANY of your videos and really appreciate your effort in subbing them. It was through your account that I got exposed to Xman.

But wow, this really sucks. Honestly I’m surprised your account lasted this long as well but I think the Korean networks didn’t really mind. You weren’t making money and it helped expose their shows and the stars to an English-speaking audience they couldn’t reach otherwise.

I also suspect it’s Connie Talbot’s people doing this. American entertainment and retarded organizations like the RIAA, MPAA, etc. have an obssession with copyrights. It all stems from corporate greed really. I’m completely convinced it’s Connie Talbot’s people. Way to go making a hater out people like me who don’t even know or care who Connie Talbot is.

Were you DMCA’d (Digital Millenium Copyright Act)? You may want to check out Renetto’s latest video about this topic:

You can file a counter-claim and likely get the rest of your videos back up (see Renetto’s video, they usually won’t pursue it further if you file a counter-claim). I’m no lawyer but I would think the vids you posted can be considered commentary, which falls under fair use – you only posted short clips and you added subtitles, often adding explanations.

Even if you weren’t DMCA’d, I suspect you got a notice from SBS instead of Connie Talbot’s (CT) people because CT doesn’t hold the rights to the show. SBS would have to initiate a very troublesome process (especially since they’re a foreign corp) to prove in court you infringed. File a counter-claim! In the end I’m sure they’d be happy if you just removed those 3 videos and you can get everything else back up.

Also, Youtube can restore every single one of your videos if they want to. They’re not gone forever. Anyway, if you’re quitting anyway, I don’t blame you. Take care!

Disclaimer: I’m not a lawyer and this should not be interpreted as completely reliable legal advice.

wow. That must be really frustrating!
I know that there’s not much you (or we) can do now, but just know that you have been a savior to all us kpop fanatics and have done so much for us! We’ll all miss you and your videos very much! THANK YOU <33

I hope you will keep up this great blog in the future, though!

me toooo TT___________TT
Jace One on July 27, 2008 at 1:32 am said:

sorry to hear about your youtube account. i actually was afraid this day was going to come so i saved most of your youtube vids onto my computer.

your account was one of the major reasons i got into korean variety shows, especially through your xman clips. i was even so inspired by your selflessness in providing xman episodes to everyone, that i started to share raw HQ xman episodes with everyone on the soompi forum just to give back to the show that started me off (all thanks to you).

thank you for all the time you spent subbing and uploading vids.

i hope you continue to update your blogs (both WG and this one). your blogs always keep me, along with everyone else, up to date with a lot of what’s going on in k-pop.

much love and respect to you, bro. hope this set back doesn’t bring you down too much. peace.

Thank you coolsmurf for all your hard work over these years. It is because of you and your videos that I have been able to enjoy so many classic moments in Korean entertainment. It is a true shame that this has happened.
Kayla on July 27, 2008 at 1:34 am said:

OMG. I was just watching all the We Got Married Ep 19 episodes an hour or two ago and suddenly this happened? Sheesh! What’s wrong with subbing??? All your hard work and time wasted. Cheer up Alvin! There’s plenty of people still supporting you!

what the heck?! this is really coming as a shock. you don’t believe how much i feel like crying now. i tune in to your acct SEVERAL times a day. how can youtube ever be the same without you. i’ll miss your work real bad. where can i ever get so many korean variety shows sub from now )))))):

Vana on July 27, 2008 at 1:38 am said:

I really do want to cry at this moment. I hope
you are going to still keep your blogs alive.
I love ya for putting up all the YEH and KJK clips as well as Xman. I’ve been a subscriber for the longest time and this is really depressing to hear.

you really helped put kpop and the culture on the map for international fans. It pisses me off that Connie Talbot and party didn’t think. You helped put Charice out there. You put Xman and We got married out there too.

I’m forever grateful and indebted to you.

Let’s start a petition or something. I’m so pissed off now.
If you ever need people to petition for you send a message my way and I’ll do it in a heartbeat.

Sometimes I’m just shocked that they do stuff like that, cuz you think that they would want an international audience… More the word is spread the better off for profits you would think, ne? What are we going to do with out you? You were the best! Take care and if you ever change your mind please spread the word!

2 words can describe how I’m feeling right now, THIS SUCKS! If all your fans are really sad/mad, I can’t imagine how you’re feeling at this point. 2 years worth of videos and hard work vanished in a couple of minutes 😦 Anyways, hope things start looking up sometime and please do continue your blog.

Jyanisatemybrain on July 27, 2008 at 1:44 am said:

=((( this seriously ruined my day, thank you soo muchhh for all the hard work you’ve done ! Because of you I’ve found many addictions & actually started appreciating Kpop Variety Shows like XMAN & LOVELETTER & WGM ! obviously I can’t express the effort you put into subbing all those 700+ videos, but really thank you. I’ll continue with going to this site though :DDDDD

SBS is stupidddd ! how else did kpop become so famous these days with foreign fans like us? through people like you & the effort you put into subbing the latest hot shows & sites like this to show the latest issues, they are seriously seriouslyyyy…stupid.

COOLSMURFF FIGHTINGGGGGG !!! ❤
RatskE2003 on July 27, 2008 at 1:46 am said:

Gahh sorry, was too angry so I didn’t bother fitting the last 2 comments into one. One last note: if someone starts a petition for you, can you put the link up on here. Once again, ty for all your hard work into subs etc. I didn’t know any korean stars except Rain before finding your channel. Your channel had transited from a channel that I visited whenever I was free to more of an addiction.

Now I have no idea what to do with the time spent watching WGM and re-watching the old videos you’ve uploaded on youtube. If you are final on letting everything go then I respect your decision. Although I believe I will still try and visit http://youtube.com/coolsmurf in future just to see if your account will be reactivated.

Good luck in whatever you do in life! =)

I’m too surprised for words..

Oh, I don’t care much about the program but I still can’t accept youtube without coolsmurf is boring and they are ignorant to did that.

Why?

I just can say thanks for everything, Alvin.*So sad..speachless, T T

oh i get it now.
😦 thanks so much for your hard work & generosity!
reading your blogs & watching your videos helped me to get through college. there were no korean people around & watching the videos that i had watched at home with my family before helped me feel at home. 🙂 thanks.

& i concur with everyone else–SBS should be thanking you like the rest of us are. you + youtube have had a hand in spreading korean media to other parts of the WORLD.

i really hope you will continue to update your blogs because they are the best means of getting korean media news. theyre the first things i check when i get on the computer!

we understand if you dont want to anymore, but i hope that you’ll bounce back up. dont let the man get you down! haha 🙂 aja aja fighting, eh~?

thank you again & remember we love you & are behind you !!! ❤

REVENGE lol!

I’m going to miss the Eun hye and Jong Kook action in xman…Man…

if anything, i think you should take FRESH02 advice and try to make an amazing comeback where everyone will start crying because of your awesomeness lol!!!

RatskE2003 on July 27, 2008 at 1:53 am said:

Er, I don’t know whats happening now. “I can’t believe I am ousted by SBS and I believe it’s Connie Talbot.” – From what I read, coolsmurf literally means he can’t believe that SBS would do this and he suspects Connie Talbot.

Why is everyone blaming SBS

T_T
im really angry to those who reported…
and sad cuz it happened to our great blogger cum kpop show uploader coolsmurf…
i just wish this never ever happened…
im so cursing those ppl who did this…
maybe they just rott to death.. =x

wut does having coolsmurf uploading those vids do to them?
its not like he’s selling clips without their concern or something…
with his vids we get to know who the hell is Connie Talbot n watch n know bout korean shows which we non koreans who do not have korean cable tv…
we also then start to craze bout korean stuff…
isnt tat making their artist n shows more known worldwide and this could even increase the fan base or particular celeb?

haih, enough ranting…
things had happened…
although i hate such incident…
wut else could we do…
i just hope coolsmurf stay strong and hang on…
dun stop blogger at least…
all d best to u…

thanks lots for all d hard work u’ve done..
we really appreciate them…

We should do a relly to protest against this. They should be grateful coz you’re promoting their freaking programs. Man, I’m so mad. I’m such a fan of coolsmurf!!
I can’t believe they all got deleted, but you should come back. I’ll be waiting for any news.

=O WHAT?!

WHOA. WHOA. WHOA. WHOA. NO WAY. OHMYGOSH.

I’m just speechless. You’re like a YouTube personality. I can’t believe they would do this.

@sugartear1
gomdorii’s suspended, too?!

I can’t believe this. I’m just at a loss for words. Don’t quit coolsmurf! Keep this wordpress!

Your channel was my favorite on YouTube. It was what introduced me to the Korean Ent. World with Xman and then, Love Letter. Then, I found out you liked Wonder Girls, too, so that made me even love your channel even more because I like WG, too!

It was YOU who introduced the Korean Ent. to the WORLD! When Kang Ho Dong would boast that people watch him throughout the world, I bet it was through YOUR channel! ToT

I don’t even know what to say anymore. Couldn’t they just have asked to take off the Connie Talbot vids??! Why do they have to take out everything else??! WGM is MBC anyway. Ugh. I can’t believe this. Connie Talbot should be happy we were watching her on Youtube Star King. Ugh.

I’m so angry and sad at the same time! Please don’t give up, Alvin! Look at all of us supporting you! Please keep your blogs!!

glamchicdiva on July 27, 2008 at 2:13 am said:

i was so shocked when i heard about the news, cuz i just watched Sohee, Yoobin, and Sunye’s solo stages like 20 mins before i knew about this.

i’m so sad that you’re suspended. and i’m so disappointed and mad that it’s SBS who reported you. thousands of people wouldn’t even know about X-Man, Love Letter, Star King, We Got Married, etc if it’s not because of you. thanks to you, thousands of people got interested in those shows and eventually fell for K-Pop. i hope those Korean TV channels will soon realize that you’re actually benefitting them.

after all of your hard work, i think all i wanna say is that i’m so thankful for everything you’ve done. THANK YOU SO MUCH for letting me know about those shows, and keeping me updated about K-Pop 🙂 you did awesome jobs subbing, uploading, fulfilling people’s requests, etc. i seriously think you’re the best uploader ever! and i hope you’re making a comeback soon! (cuz nobody will ever replace you!)

Coolsmurf… dun be too disheartened… we’ll try to get some justice for you!!! we’re really thankful to you for all the hard work tt you hav done!!!

WGM fans…
i’m thinkin of startin a new thread in soompi in the form of accumulatin petition to at least get some justice for Coolsmurf, shall we?
there’s a high possibility tt we’ll be ignored, but at least we voiced out our unhappiness and Coolsmurf’s grievance… so long as we reach a thousand ppl on our list, i’ll summit a FEEDBACK to SBS and YT!!! i’ll need the help of fellow WGM fans…
i’ll be leaving details here after i’ve gotten a new thread link and the details needed for a petition…

jonathan in florida on July 27, 2008 at 2:14 am said:

Alvin Coolsmurf, I echo many of the previous commentors…. I also got into watching xman and the wondergirls and we got married through your youtube channel…. you totally added to SBS’s overseas market share by making these programs and groups more accesible to non-koreans as well as gyopos like me in America. Thanks for all of your hard work and dedication, this must be a serious blow to you. I still can’t quite believe it when I log onto my youtube subscriptions and see the black picture icon above your name. Not to mention my favorites list has been cut in half or more…

you still have everyone’s support!
glamchicdiva on July 27, 2008 at 2:24 am said:

and oh one more thing, i hope that soon Connie realizes that lots of people got to know her and become her fans because we first saw her videos that YOU uploaded on YouTube. she should be thanking you! what the hell is her company thinking?! they should look at the view counts on her videos YOU uploaded. geez.

i believe you have made quite a big impact on Korean entertainment’s recognition. thousands of people throughout the world got into K-Pop because of YOU!

this sucks. i’ll miss your videos. thanks so much for your hard work on subbing & uploading, i would have never been able to find & enjoy We Got Married or X Man or YEH & KJK. if you could still sub but upload the videos somewhere else like dailymotion or megaupload or sendspace that would be awesome. thanks.

Michelle on July 27, 2008 at 3:05 am said:

It’s such a shame that SBS did that. Without your subbing, I would’ve never gotten to love Korean Variety Shows. With you subbing for the old X-Man my love grew for those shows so much and I immediately headed over to your YT channel and subscribed.
I don’t blame you for quitting, 2 years of hard work is all deleted by a company’s stupid move. If you do start over, it’s such a bleh to reupload all of those video files and everything. I didn’t think that the Korean companies would ever catch up like the Japanese companies. -sigh-
Please don’t stop this blog and the wonder girls blog. These blogs keep me updated and everything. I can imagine my friend Leta freakin’ out when she finds out you’re gone for good, lol.
Well I hope you continue posting on Soompi and stuff 😉 Bye bye coolsmurf’s awesome youtube account -sigh-
You know I never thought this day would come… depressing
j on July 27, 2008 at 3:09 am said:

Oh no!!!!!!
It’s just horrible, horrible news!
I can’t understand a single Korean word and if it wasn’t for you, I won’t be even seeing those Korean videos in the first place. It’s just a shame to know that you’re quitting this entirely.

Whatever it is, Thank you so much for all your hard work of subbing and uploading those videos! We all appreciate for you have done. Thank you so much, coolsmurf! You’re awesome! 😀
Maiself on July 27, 2008 at 3:09 am said:

I never leave a comment on your channel, but now it’s time to speak. Thank you for bringing all the Korean entertainment to non-korean-speaking-people like us. SBS does not know how much your work mean to us. I hope you’ll continue your wonderful work. Thank you for your 783 wondeful videos.

Aja aja fighting 🙂

Yr “absence” left a huge hole & at the rate things go, I’m sure YT won’t last long. I hope u will be back soon, making lots of non-korean fans happy. SBS Inc is an idiot & really should pay u for free marketing/advertising instead. I hope a petition goes up soon so that I can join the legions who will rooting for you. Take care & fighting!

when i heard your youtube account got suspended i got really sad, it was the best youtube account for short clips especially, if you wanted a good laugh! anyways, it was nice watching your videos with subtitle for all the funniest moment on variety, and everything. i just hope one day you feel like doing it again! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING THOUGH 🙂
D.Vita on July 27, 2008 at 3:12 am said:

I’m seriously lost for words. When I tried going to your youtube I had to double checked if I typed in correctly because it kept saying that it was suspended. And, having you clarified this, makes me really sad. Not only sad for me and us others, but yourself as well. Because I know how much time and effort you put uploading and subbing god knows how many videos you put up!

But thank you for giving us 2 years of your convenience! I’m still trying to take this all in! I hope this is still around though!

I will never forget your dedication and your videos. Although you may not realize it, please know that the magnitude of how much your videos helped for new & old K-Pop fans is indescribable. Heck, many people who appeared on Star King have you to thank too for making them more well known. Thank you is not enough. Please don’t feel sad about it, it ended on a great note. :] We will continue to support you here at your blog.

HardcoreCoolsmurfPan on July 27, 2008 at 3:40 am said:

I think, we should start a petition to have Coolsmurf’s account and videos reinstated.

Maybe sent to Sbs Youtube Google and the kid.

Petition:
A/S/L + Way coolsmurf has impacted you.

My Name is Eli Xian, USA. Coolsmurf introduced me to korean entertainment, kept me up to date. Because of him, I lost many hours of sleep watching his videos/reading his posts. SBS may think this is a very insignificant viewerbase but that’s wrong. I hope this petition will prove that.

Coolsmurf’s blood has bee spilled. Bitches must pay.

Youtube won’t be the same without coolsmurf. Thank you for the time you spent on uploading them! We love you coolsmurf and we will totally support you if you come back again 😉 hehehe

Thanks so much for all your hard work, you’re the only youtube page, i look up. Heck, you’re the only one i have on my favourites and shortcuts, cuz you always have updates on the stuff I like.

I’m sure you’re just as upset as everyone else. now, i really dont know where to find all the stuff you’ve uploaded. ahhh!

I wish you all the best, and I do hope you’ll come back. thanks for all your hard work on subbing!

So I thank you because without your videos I would have never understood what they were saying. I loved X-Man and the We Got Married clips, so thank you for all your hard work!!!!
KIMI on July 27, 2008 at 4:18 am said:

All I have to sad is THANK TOU SO SO MUCH, for all the videos you have posted and youtube will never ever be the same with out you.

I was watching your some of ur xman vids and suddenlly all of the vids were gone! I’m really sad that your account get suspended.. I just started liking Korean shows and one of the reason is because of your translation.. 😦 Ahhh that copyright problem.. Doesn’t the company realize that their artists get famous overseas because of the fansubbing?

Cheer up coolsmurf.. we’re gonna miss you A LOT.. thank you for all of your hard work and thank you for sharing them to us.. we’re still supporting you !!
bebetama on July 27, 2008 at 4:19 am said:

OMG I screamed when I saw “this account is now suspended” What the FUCK??? I can’t believe it
I was with you since Xman OMG…I just can’t believe it
Youtube is a bunch of fucker and who is this Connie Talbot anyway? JUST DIE IN HELL, with all my gratitude DAMN!!!!!

Doesn’t SBS think before acting, it’s people like you who spread the Kpop love and with that the Korean culture. Man ,I’m so pissed…but I know this can’t be compared to how you feel. All this effort you put in that channel, and all those vids.I’m sorry for you. FUCK!!! FUCK!!! FUCK!!! I have the urge to punch my laptop with a passion.

Take care I will miss you.

AAAAh! I really feel like crying!
😦 I’m from Puerto Rico and all this time I have been a silent supporter of your work and I tell you I will always support you.
You really did open a brand new world for me, so I thank you very much for that.
Thank you for all the time spend subbing those videos.
And remember we all love you!!!!

awww…my heart just broke 😦 i absolutely loved all your vids. thanks for all your hardwork. please don’t think of it as a wasted effort. we really loved your vids. you’ve made my last year and a half bearable! really. everytime i needed to laugh or smile, i’d just go to your channel.

gosh i’m so depressed right now. sigh. i’ll miss seeing your kjk/yeh background. 😉 anyways. hope you’re ok. thanks for all you’ve done for us.

take care. fighting!

How terrible :(.

But thank you for everything you have done <3333. It was your videos that got me interested in k-variety in the first place. You’re the best, one of the coolest people in fandom.

kpopbabo on July 27, 2008 at 4:36 am said:

Thats so sad. All of that work subbing those videos. Would you consider subbing and just uploading the videos and puting the links here. That way you wouldn’t have to worry about them getting found by SBS.
roseltv on July 27, 2008 at 4:37 am said:

OMG! Seriouslly! To be honest, u are the one who leads me to korean variety shows. When I was so new to the whole Korean Entertainment in general, I encounter your Xman vids while searching for Yoon Eun Hye. Since then, I began to know more about shows, celebs, etc. U have introduced me, as well as many others to Korean Entertainment and I just have so much fun with it. I bet a lot of fans out there are just like me. We all really appreciate all the vids u sub and all the hard works u have done. I really regret not downloading all of ur vids coz whenever I feel depressed, I always went to look for ur Xmen vids. They are really funny. I hope u do come back, even though u may not be as active as before. U do have a lot of fans out there, including me. Oh well, at least u still have this blog. I can imagine how u must have felt when u got suspended. I got three warnings before but lucky for me, I’m still alive. I may join u very soon though. Anyway, I’m glad I can still leave u a comment, coz some people got suspended and I had no idea where to find them . Thanks a lot again. Hwaiting!

FIGHTING!

U have done more than amazing work that made u have lots of fans and people that would continually check ur pages.

i personally live in the middle east which is 0% of having the opportunity to watch such great shows, but thanks to you i’ve been introduced to this world, which i became so addicted to it..

We respect ur decision, yet deep inside we really want u to continue ur best…

gyopolife on July 27, 2008 at 4:59 am said:

Thank goodness I downloaded most of your videos. Although I didn’t do it for the latest SIY, CJ eps… Stupid SBS, I guess I’ll have to watch We Got Married in Korea and figure out what they’re saying on my own. It’ll be like charades, with no clear cut answer.
Tiffany80 on July 27, 2008 at 5:02 am said:

We all get suspended. I got suspended back in April. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease reconsider this decision. Its because you that ppl know Charice Pempengco, Connie Talbot, and etc. All your hard work was not in vain. You have so many ppl who enjoy your work.
Aerolite on July 27, 2008 at 5:03 am said:

Thank you so much for your time and dedication in uploading each and every one of your vids. You were the ultimate source and one of the reasons why I’ve grown to become the Wonder Girls fan I am.

Personally, I feel like this whole page of comments is a petition in itself and I really wish there is something that can be done about this. I hope that all of you work was not lost and that there is some way to recover it all.

Thanks again and if there are any efforts needed to help revive your account, I will definitely take part in action.

You were one of the only people I subscribed to on YouTube…

thanks for the great videos these past two years.

Son of a 8itch! I cant believe they would do this to you! If it wasnt for your Star King clips, that little girl wouldnt be known world wide for her talent. Charice wouldnt be on Oprah! You’ve done more for them than any marketing exec coud do! Jeesh!

Anyway, I am so thankful for all of your clips through the years. Your dangyunhaji clips made me laugh on my bad days. Thank you so much for all your hard work.

Love ya Alvin!!

Thank you so much for your dedication and hard work in uploading and subbing. I loved watching all of your vids and I truly appreciated your work.

Thanks for spreading the kpop love to those who don’t understand Korean and/or aren’t korean.

I’m sad that your suspended 😦

Thanks for the past 2 years full of videos and entertainment I won’t forget.

I’m going to miss your videos ❤

i know i didnt tell you this and now i am regreting for not telling you.
you ARE the person i admire most in youtube.
‘cuz i am really a BIG BIG CRAZY fan of JYC. and i have a dream to make all the Vietnamese sub version (b/c I’m Vietnamese) of all the subbed videos of you for Jong Kook oppa and Eun Hye unnie.
really, i am doing that project and think that i will tell you when i finish smt. i will spread JYC love all over Vietnam.

and now, that’s out of my hands, that’s impossible!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still cant believe in my eyes when i read Boo’s post.
Yes i am crying right now.
i have an suspended account, too. that’s the account of our subbing team, with over 500 subbed videos, many non-subbed and subscribers. I can understand your feeling.
get well soon, friend! let me call you friend! we do miss you, come back and be strong!
i wish i had downloaded all your videos or you still have all the files in your hdd. :((
i wanna see them :((

rainingstars on July 27, 2008 at 6:36 am said:

I am extremely disappointed in Youtube and Connie Talbot’s management team. They got tons of free publicity from those video. That’s millions and millions of views. How selfish to take down all your videos/ban your account. They could have just taken down those 3 Connie videos. I’m saddest that the million views So Hot finally reached is all gone because of something completely unrelated to the Wonder Girls. Is there any other video site you could upload on? I know it you said you quit, but I’m hoping against the odds. We really do appreciate your work and dedication.
valmy on July 27, 2008 at 6:41 am said:

“You too?, is that what it mean?” after a few minutes of huh?

I just want to thank you for your hard work and dedication to subbing korean shows and summaries.

It was your blog and yt channel that got me hook on Xman for YEH & KJK and of course the rest of the gangs. I’ve enjoyed all of your english subs. W/O them, I would not understand a thing, since I am korean illiterate.

Your blog and yt channel are my daily morning doses,now I am going to miss it! I hope you will continue your blog, w/o you, like above, us interational fans wouldn’t be insync with all the K-juicy news.

Thanks again and good luck!

As many have mentioned before me, you were the one who introduced me to kpop, from the hilarious exchanges on xman through to we got married. Your videos made me laugh out loud way more than any other. I and I’m sure many others will feel the loss of your presence deeply. What ever we’re feeling you must be feeling ten times more, please remember that we all appreciate your love and dedication coolsmurf and you will never be forgotten.

Actually, I was surprised that this didn’t happen sooner. And yeah, this is very sad news 😦 But it’s not like you don’t have your copies right? And I don’t see the point in stopping your current activity just because YouTube sucks. You should just take this opportunity to make your blog here the source for your sharing! There are many ways you could share stuff, why not move on to megashare and such sites? And it would be really nice to read people’s comments here, rather than on YouTube. Anyways, try look on the bright side of it!

I’ve followed this blog from the very beginning and your videos every since the X-Man days.

I know that if everyone who has seen your videos or posts leaves just one comment, then you’ll have thousands and thousands of them here thanking you for everything that you’ve done.

I find it amazing how you and only you have been able to inspire and brighten so many viewers/readers through your tremendous effort.

Quite honestly, I don’t know what else to say outside of pure shock and dismay…but I sincerely hope you’ll continue to be with us in one form or another. The thought of you not around anymore makes me (and I’m sure plenty of others) incredibly sad.

Don’t lose hope. You are and will always be a wonderful person in our minds. Thank you…for everything.

i really felt sad that you got suspended… =( you’re definitely one of the best uploaders of korean stuff with english subtitles in youtube! it’s your channel that i look forward to everyday, and now it’s gone…

from xman times to now in we got married, you’re our reliable source of videos that made us laugh and smile after a long day’s work… THANK YOU!!! and i really mean it!

for all your hard work, kudos! we’ll continue to support you!

fighting! =)

Omg! I’m so shocked and speechless when I saw “This account is suspended” T T How could they do this? Argg… Yours is my favorite channel too b/c I always checked every morning for new clips T T It’s so sad and what about So Hot mv that got over million hits? NOOO!!!!!

Even though I haven’t been your fan for long but thank you so much for your hard work and don’t give up. If you decided to start again, I will sure support you. Never give up, Alvin hwaiting!
silliedoofus on July 27, 2008 at 7:55 am said:

when my friend told me ur account got suspended i was really shocked and upset. it was all cause of you that i was reintroduced to the kpop scene with all those xman clips. thanks for always uploading the latest stuff (WG, WGM, XMAN, etc) and for all your hard work. =[
amylia on July 27, 2008 at 7:56 am said:

Dear Alvin,
I have to thank you first for getting me into Korean stuff. It’s your vids from YT that get me into Korean variety shows on the first place especially X-Man. I don’t know Korean so I depend a lot on your vids for subs. From your vids, I’ve come to know and recognize all those Korean artists (I’m a big fan of Shinhwa now thanks to you). So I was really shocked and disappointed to see this happens. I don’t really see where’s the copyright infringement is. I mean you only do like cuts of clips not the whole show. If that is called copyright infringement or whatever, then probably most of the people vids will definitely be taken down. In fact there are tons more people who uploaded not just clips, but the whole show on YT. I’m seeing some proper injustice here. Cheer up. We as your YT vids fans will always be behind and supporting you. Hwaiting!
Yomee on July 27, 2008 at 7:56 am said:

NOOOOO! I hate whoever did this!!!

HOW COUDL THIS HAPPEN?! T_T
where am I going to watch the latest performances of Wonder Girls and the clips of “We Got Married” ?

I feel like crying!
pleaseeeee come back ! TT_TT
please don’t quit

I’ll support you!
hwaiting!

Thanks for all the vids & subs for the past 2 years. They were much appreciated!!!!!!!!!

thanks for all the videos coolsmurf, so sorry about the suspension.. if you ever come back to YT again, please do let us know .. u do have lots of friends and fans 🙂
teokong on July 27, 2008 at 8:15 am said:

This is so aweful news. 😦 SBS is making a terrible BIG mistake. They’d loose international audience who has been supporting them. Who the hell is Connie Talbot???
I just came to know you and within this short period I’ve grown to love your site and all the video clips you uploaded. I’m so sad. Thank you for your hard work.
gossip_lover on July 27, 2008 at 8:17 am said:

Coolsmurf, I am so devastated by this news. You’ve worked so hard over the past two years. You have no idea how much we appreciate you’re hard work and dedication. It so ridiculous how your account was suspended – you’re work helped to promote celebrities on an international level. If it weren’t for you the majority of us wouldn’t have gotten the chance to enjoy korean entertainment shows to the extent that we have. All I want to say is thank you and I hope that one day you’ll decide to come back. But really, thank you for the past two years…
cjlatina on July 27, 2008 at 8:22 am said:

I am so sad to hear this. I watch your youtube channel and read your blogs everyday.

Your translations are always great and helpful, and your insight into the latest dramas are extremely helpful and entertaining to read.

I really do hope that you do a second account at youtube (only if you don’t mind), and continue to your blog postings on the Wonder Girls and here at this site.

Best Wishes to you, Coolsmurf
mamasiu on July 27, 2008 at 8:23 am said:

coolsmurf, you were the best on YT. if it wasn’t for you, I would never have found xman. because of you, my obsession for everything JKJ and YEH related began. I fell in love with kpop and kdrama!!!! Please let us know when you come back. I’ve been a silent reader of your blog for so and have enjoyed all your videos. you brought soompi/popseoul to me!! you are the best. hwaiting!!!!!
Taniko on July 27, 2008 at 8:24 am said:

I just wanted to say ‘Thank You’ for your dedication these past two years.

Although your decision to quit leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, as I’m sure it does with many others as well, I’ll respect the choice that you have made. The circumstances of your leaving, said plainly and simply, SUCKS.

Just know that if you ever decide to return to Youtube, you’ll have plenty of supporters to back you up. Sometimes you’ve got to hit rock bottom in order to be able to rise up to the top. Thanks again for being my introduction/connection to Korean entertainment.

COOLSMURF HWAITING!!!

Coolsmurf, such a devastating news. I enjoyed all your videos and I appreciate all the effort that you have put into it. Unfortunately, things don’t turn the way we want them to be. I think YT is getting stricter because it’s not only your account that got suspended. Most of the K-pop uploaders that I’ve subscribed to are all now suspended. Good luck.

firstly, i want to thanks to you so much
the first korean video that i watched was xman..
i watch all your subbed xman cut..
what i want to thanks to you is because now i can speak korean and translate my own korean video cuts.. so bad that my subbed video also deleted….

thanks so much for giving such a great job..
you not only translate n subbed the video but you also spread korean culture…

THANKS SO MUCH
hana on July 27, 2008 at 9:23 am said:

I have one thing to say…
SBS is way stupid for doing this!
Do they know how many people are now really into all their shows and things because of you?
I mean COME ON!
And Connie Talbot… who is she anyways… Does her management know what they’ve just done? idiots…
Oh well…
does this mean your blog is gone too? NOOO!!! I read this like every day! I won’t live without it….
Ok, now I’m mad.

so that wasn’t only one thing. But if you ever come back or anything, just know we’re all here to back you up!

~hana~

i’m sad that the road ends here, alvin!
i’ve enjoyed all the videos you’ve posted up, thanks for your hard work!
all your 23,523 subscribers are going to miss you dearly!
but the least you can do is keep updating this blog, right? x.x
anyways, the decision is all yours, and like many people already said, we will support you all the way ^^
thehay on July 27, 2008 at 9:33 am said:

i think that Connie Talbot, whoever she is, just earned herself a few antis. It’s really disheartening to read this news.. especially just after you woke up. It was your channel that led me into the whole kpop and kvariety scene.. in particular, KJK and YEH.. damnn.. i really should have downloaded all your uploaded videos.. thankyou for all your work the past few years.. regardless of whether your might stop or maybe pick it up a few years down the track..
aja aja! HWAITING!
Shirly on July 27, 2008 at 9:36 am said:

SCREW SBS!!!!!

oh…this is soo sad. well, bye…i dont really know what else to say… but i thank you very much for subbing all of the we got married videos, and all of the other videos you uploaded on youtube.

if you ever come back again, tell me!
tl on July 27, 2008 at 9:36 am said:

Alvin, I’m devastated! I check your word press everyday and really appreciate your videos for those who can’t understand korean! I can’t believe it, who would do that to you?! Ahh! I don’t know what you mean by stopping everything (if that includes your word press as well) but if you ever decide to start it again, please let us know! Thanks for all your hard work! If you do decide to stop everything, we or I will miss you dearly as well. Sigh…
iloveeunjiwon on July 27, 2008 at 9:37 am said:

connie talbots ppl should be grateful that some of her videos were on your account.. i wouldnt even have known who she was if you didnt upload and sub them :@

wow.. i am truly depressed and sad.

i think everyone who commented here already expressed what i wanted to say…
but i just wanted to say thanks coolsmurf.. your videos, subs and your blog were all greatly appreciated.. and it will be TOTALLY different going on youtube now.. it wont be as exciting 😦
like hana said up there ^ if you DO ever come back all your subscribers and viewers will still be here to welcome you!!

THANK YOU for ALL your work! WE ALL LOVE YOU 🙂

Sandy on July 27, 2008 at 9:49 am said:

OMG
the only reason i even knew of xman wonder girls and we got married
cause YOU uploaded it
practically everything you sub is amazing

if you really are leaving
at least continue on doing this blog
it’s okay if you don’t sub videos
as long as you continue on informing us news

oh and if it really was connie talbot then
SCREW HER
Jenny on July 27, 2008 at 9:50 am said:

Omg. I can’t believe its all gone now. I loved watching your videos and you were the best subber out there. It seems like all these Kpop sites are going down. First it was PopSeoul… This stinks. Youtube will not be the same anymore. Your videos were always great to watch. I watched every Wonder Girls performance on your account. That Connie should really go to hell. D: I will always support whatever you do in the future.
winta on July 27, 2008 at 9:53 am said:

its sad its a short notice goodbye =x if you ever come back ^^ i’ll be short on your tail =3 i am a big fan of your subbing ^^ and i know you’ll never be forgotten

What if you upload your subs on rapidshare or alike ?
sure it’s a lot bigger and more hassle for us viewers, but consider this Alvin, you are practically doing the same thing anyway when you upload to youtube

but for the sake of WGM, i’ll waste my bandwidth happily

move your videos to a different site. dailymotion.. CR.. etc.
kfanatics on July 27, 2008 at 10:04 am said:

Coolsmurf, its very sad that your acct got suspended.
Most of my favourites are from your acct.
The Xmans eps especially.
zzzzz
I think most of the 283 msgs have a few things in common:-

1. Your videos are awesome.
2. Your blogs are up to dates
3. Most of us are intro to kculture thru’ u
4. Your subbed videos are appreciated immensely
5. You are respected in the cyberspace for your works.

With the above, dont be sadden by this one setback.

I for one is waiting for your comeback. 🙂

Hwaiting Coolsmurf!!!

sometimes people do forget where they come from

jenlov on July 27, 2008 at 10:11 am said:

i am stunned! If it wasn’t for you SBS would not have a viewer ship of strength outside of the limited broadcast viewing areas. I was brought up by advocates and I will be writing to SBS (not that it will make a difference) but they need to know about the rest of us here. There will be an interesting backlash I think. SBS will be losing some face here. Coolsmurf they should be giving you a salary for marketing and publicity. Not wise on the part of SBS but when it comes to network egos and greed nothing can be surpassed. Thank you Coolsmurf for ALL your efforts over this time. I only hope the others don’t follow suit.

i say SBS , Connie talbot or whoever are really dumb to do this.They shd be GLAD we are even into watching their programmes!

thanks to you,i had been updated regularly of wgm,xman etc ….yr snubbing efforts are so commendable. e efforts,time spent on snubbing…. & i think you are OBVIOUSLY helping to spread love on korean programmes …apparently they did not even care abt FOREIGN VIEWERS/FANS/SUPPORTERS! thats is so UNGRATEFUL& UNGRACIOUS!! SHAME ON YOU, SBS!

…it’s so hard without you.. you are awesome & great!
will still support you to the end! don’t despair! every cloud has its own silver lining !

cheers & take care! ^^
innocia on July 27, 2008 at 10:20 am said:

Alvin, I really appreciated all you have done. Without you, I don’t think I’ll ever notice Korean variety shows. Those xman episodes that you subbed really led to the Korean fanatic I am now.

I agree, Youtube will never be the same without you. Thanks for all your hard work the past 2 years. You can take a well-deserved rest now 🙂

We’ll always support you. Jiayou!

hi! so sad to learn this morning. how could they do this? many people are depending on your unselfish love of sharing to us non-koreans the shows that truly delight us. i am a constant lurker here and on your other account.
thank you for all the joy you’ve given us.
irene1970 on July 27, 2008 at 10:34 am said:

I don’t usually comment on blogs when I read one but this time I’m going to. I never would have discovered Star King without you, it was through your YT account that I’ve watcehd and loved Star King. Then WGM came, I loved Andy Lee because I’m a Shinhwa fan so I tried to keep track of their television appearances. I was so grateful for discovering you and your blogs.
But then the surprised of my life came, I was browsing on my subscription page and click on your channel to find it suspended! I’m not one of those to curse and swear at people but this time, I feel that I needed to.
SBS owed you for free advertisements! They should be grateful for your hard work, good God! You’re not even earning a single cent for this!
It takes a lot of love and dedication for some one like you to subbed and upload videos from SBS. You practically loved almost all their shows and through that you’d allowed us to experience the world of SBS. But what did they do? Ask YT to suspend your account, foolish people!
They’ve done an injustice to you Alvin, I hoped this will not let you stop from doing what you want. I will pray and support you Alvin. Keep on doing the things you love the most.
Lots of thanks for your hard work and dedication Alvin, I am grateful for you. God bless you.

Aestas on July 27, 2008 at 10:40 am said:

omg. that was so sudden. i didn’t check Youtube for a day and all of a sudden i couldn’t find your account. i wish i saved some of the subbed music videos like Charice’s, WG’s, Hyori’s… oh nooo… where am i going to go for my kpop/WG/WGM/Xman fix? ALEX! SHINAE! *cry*

i’ve been a loyal follower for SO LONG. i don’t even remember when, but i think the early subbed xman danghyunhaji days. i constantly check to see your newest videos and always rewatch the older ones. any group or show that you introduce to us through youtube, i automatically fall in love with it.

is there some way to get back your videos excluding Connie Talbots? (i skipped that vid….can’t believe its the one that got your account suspended). omg. all the subbed videos TT___TT

COOLSMURF! FIGHTING! WE ALL LOVE YOU!

hmm too bad about your account, I’m sure im not the only one who feels terrible about this. You channel was/is the best channel ive subscribed to and i hope you will rethink about stopping. I’ve been subscribed to you for just a bit over a year and have loved all your xman clips and wegotmarried clips. Thanks for your 2 years of subbing,and i hope you really do come back. You’re the best.

is Connie Talbot that we’re talking about is a singer who sung over the rainbow? if it’s her, she’s just turn 7 this year! WTH!?
Connie Lover on July 27, 2008 at 11:00 am said:

I really like your shows. Dont be so childish guys it’s not Connie fault. I think it’s more of Youtube fault. Just one bit of crossing the line of legal and right issue, they just freaking wipe out every vdos and close down the account. And they do that all the time.

sad man

I’d like to take this chance to thank you for uploading and subbing those WGM episodes. Thank you for making me a fan of Korean shows again (I kind of stopped watching, but after watching WGM, I became an addict again =X)

Thank you so much for your dedication and hard work!!!

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU’VE DONE SO FAR, COOLSMURF! I WILL NOT FORGET!
thehay on July 27, 2008 at 11:16 am said:

come to think of it.. maybe SBS purposely did it coz they were jealous that you were making WGM so popular and thus was supporting MBC. since you used to sub a lot of xman vids.. but that would just be childish on their part.. *shrugs*

FUCK! DAMN IT! Damn Connie bitch! AHHHH! SHE NEEDS TO GO GROW HER TEETH BACK SO I CAN KNOCK THOSE BITCHES OUT!

Oh yeah… She’s gonna go over that fuckin’ rainbow. I’M GONNA KNOCK HER ASS WAYYY OVER THAT FUCKIN’ RAINBOW!

………. -_-

We’ll miss you dearly. I want to thank you for all the videos you uploaded and I’m glad someone else is subbing We Just Married though because if they weren’t, then I would probably be wayyyy more pissed than I was a second ago.

I hope you keep blogging though 😀

P.S. If you ever come back to YouTube, make sure you notify us on your blog!

couldn’t they just delete the connie star king episodes? why must they suspend ur whole account?!??! this is really too much!! all ur hard work to help non-korean viewers out there understand and love korean entertainment!!!! if anything, u uploading and subbing the connie star king show will help promote her! hmph!!! im freaking mad and sad at the same time.

coolsmurf, i cant thank you enough for all the hard work and dedication u’ve put into subbing videos for everyone in the past two years!!! u deserve much recognition!!!

Emily on July 27, 2008 at 11:40 am said:

Although I almost never comment on blogs or Youtube, I wanted to express my appreciation for the work you’ve been doing for the past two years. It’s true that without you, I would have been a lot more efficient in finishing my homework, but I never regretted spending time to watch your subbed videos. Yoon Eun Hye & Kim Jong Kook’s Xman romance, YSMM, all the We Got Married couples.. they’re good memories that will stay in my heart and the hearts of many of your Youtube viewers for a long, long time. It’s hard to accept that this is ending, but I wish you the best of luck and as much success in whatever you undertake in the future. 加油！
Sutei on July 27, 2008 at 11:41 am said:

Couldn’t believe it when I saw your account suspended! I go to your channel and blogs almost every day!

Really terrible news! How could they do this? Your the reason I got into korean entertainment so much! I think this goes for a lot more people other than myself!

Thanks for all you’ve done to spread the korean entertaiment business. Sbs should thank you for all these amazing subtitling you’ve done!

Coolsmurf hwaiting!
pattie on July 27, 2008 at 11:44 am said:

i also share the sentiments of all the people who posted here and to those silent ones who really follow your account. you have a lot fans ya know. 🙂 you made a lot of us really happy whenever we watch interesting shows in korea. thank you for all the hard work that you’ve done. a saying goes: when one closes a door, somewhere a window will open. Fighting!!!!
i hope you still keep on blogging!!! all the best!
Aestas on July 27, 2008 at 11:46 am said:

(continued from my earlier comment)

could you make a coolsmurf2 account? (WGM?) i think i’ll really be depressed in the following weeks until i get over the fact all your hard work of subbing those videos are gone…

i think you’ll get hundreds of comments on this blog post with people who love your videos.
elle on July 27, 2008 at 11:47 am said:

oh my goodness. ): nooo! I loved your videos! the other day a star king episode on someone elses account got deleted and it said due to sbs blah blahh also. but they didn’t delete, just the video. why didn’t they just say remove the video instead of the acccount. T_T Maaayn.

Please continue to update your blog with korean news 🙂 Now im only left with your blog to know more about the latest korean entertainment news. Your blog won’t be suspended, you have the freedom to post anything you want. and i will always look forward to your new posts.

its a pity that youtube has suspended your account. i hoped that at least you have a copy of all your subbed videos in your computer hard disc. ever since google has taken youtube, a lot of people’s account has been suspended, probably you may have noticed and thus be prepared for such a day too.

Like you, i’ve enjoyed all the video clips that you have posted, laughing non-stop at the xman clips; wow-ing at the wondergirls clips and try dancing at the “tell-me”,”so hot”; gushing at the couples in WGM.

don’t be sad.i understand its probably hard not to,cos im sad too.
Ane (Mythical Child) on July 27, 2008 at 11:51 am said:

This really sucks! This is the saddest news so far with regards to Youtube. I cannot believe they deleted your account. You were my favorite channel on youtube! I keep checking your channel everyday in hopes of some subbed goodies. You were my We Got Married fixed. I didn’t think I would grow to love the Ant couple as much as I did if it weren’t for all your subbing. And I cannot fail to mention that I honestly think you were a part of making Charice known as the international star she is if it weren’t the subbed video of that particular Star King episode. Honestly, I’m disappointed that youtube & SBS booted your channel like that, and over Connie Talbot?! BLAH. Extremely saddened, but I’m going to hold a little hope in my heart that you’ll make a comeback… somewhere, somehow, someday. Thanks for all your hard work and videos. You rock.

WTF?? how on earth did they suspend your YT account without explaination. Can we [viewers.fans] write a petition on this just to clarify thing straight??

wat’s on TV is for free, and you just upload on YT for those who dont have access to that channel from another country, more like promoting. is not like you selling it for your own profit……..this is so twisted.

arfgggggggggggg……..im so mad rite now!
ALVIN, let us know what will you do next. we will support you, and alots from here and soompiers as well
CY on July 27, 2008 at 12:59 pm said:

I’m so shocked.. I really like your subtitle… I don’t really understand to people who reported this kind of thing, don’t those people have something else to do other than mind someone else bussiness. FYI by doing subtitle, you really help others (from all over the world who don’t understand korean) to understand the movie, that way you make korea country go international thru the movie’s world.

Thank you for your subtitle…

Very sorry to hear that you’re hanging up your subbing shoes…your videos were always welcome

I LOVED every single one of your Xman clips – pity it’s all gone now because there doesn’t seem to be too many people out there with your extensive collection. And I know I’m not the only one who is going to miss the We Got Married cuts on Tuesdays…

Thanks for all your hard work – if you chose to come back, you will certainly have the support.

Cheers

thankyou for the hard work! and i’ll definitely miss your weekly WGM cuts. take care!

i’ve just watched your channel yesterday. goodness. this is such a loss!

dumb move by SBS but i guess you’re right. connie talbot might be it.

i understand if you feel demotivated by it all, but just know a lot of people appreciate your work and will support you.

thanks a lot for all this while. hopefully we’ll get to see your works again, elsewhere perhaps.

Truly a sad day for all of us. I think everyone of ur subscribers and readers will agree that SBS has made a mistake and thankyou for all of your hard work in subbing. I hope you continue to post news and pics on this blog and also continue the subbing endevours, not that anyone would blame you for getting fed up and stopping it.

You made this year a very entertaining one and introduced me and, im sure, many other people to the colourful world of korean entertainment.

Hope to see you and you work again…Thankyou for everything =D

I cried a little when I read the news. I can’t believe this. I don’t understand what SBS was thinking. You’re not stealing, you’re promoting!! PROMOTING, they should be happy you’re even subbing it. It gave the shows international recognition. I can’t believe this!

Fighting Alvin!! There are lots of people who appreciate your work!!

It’s a shame to not be able to watch your good subbing work anymore bacause of some stupid business deal with that colbie talbot girl (which i have no idea who she is until i search her in youtube)

btw, is this your vid by any chance?

(how come this don’t get banned too! seriously pple, I don’t think it’s SBS who’s to blame, it’s the girl’s management)

Hope you’ll

But your efforts would be remembered! Thank you for subbing those videos for the past two years!

Ughh..Connie Tabolt? Are you serious?
>______>

I subsribed to you, and favorited a bunch of your videos like Wondergirl’s So Hot, Hyori’s U-Go-Girl and Wondergirl’s G.O.D medley on Chocolate…

I first favorited Wondergirl’s G.O.D medley from monmonsnow1, but they deleted her account too and now, again!? Arghh… what the heck… TT______TT

I’m sad I’ll never see the Xman dayunhaji (sp?) videos…

Are you never going to make a YT account again? D8

Help by signing on the petition, not sure if youtube would revive his account but i think its worth a try, its after all hours and hours and even days of Alvin’s hardwork.So people please do help, maybe even hope Alvin would come back and post.There are many other platforms for instance Veoh.Alvin continue FIGHTING!

I really want to go spam and destroy their account, but you will probably never approve…
Uga on July 27, 2008 at 2:27 pm said:

gosh! its so sad…… if they take away all those sub ( n those people dun even put it on their show ) then too bad… kpop will end soon.

many jurassic years ago, i use to encourage TVB to put sub on their show as i know a lot of fans out there dun really understand Canto drama… well.. they never did….. then……. kdrama came in n OUT went Cantodrama…. even if they hv sub on most of their shows now, i think it never feels right anymore……

SO HEAR US SBS……… if u want MORE people to watch shows, then wake up…. NO ENGLISH SUB=LESS audience in the future… maybe THAI will rise up! hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Wow, this makes me like Charice so much more than Connie..
She actually has talent and thanks Youtubers for uploading her videos, so people from all of the world can see…

Oh my freakin’ goodness. I’m so pissed right now!!

Seriously, you were my #1 in youtube and now they’ve suspended you. This is totally unfair!! What am I going to do without you now??? I’m SO sad. OMG.

I’m feeling so mad because it’s so unfair for you. I can’t even begin to imagine how much time and effort you put into uploading and subbing those videos for us. I can’t begin to describe how sad I feel right now!! I totally relied on you and everything.

But seriously, don’t get your hopes down, okay? I hope you continue with this blog, letting people know what’s up because you know we all care about you and your blog!!

You’re one awesome person and I know a LOT of people support you. :]

Thanks for all the precious moments and joy Coolsmurf…
X Man, the Star King cut, of coz WGM… it was some of the happiest moment I had spend online and laughing like a lunatic be it 3am in the morning or stealing peeks during office hours…

You have introduce me to some of the best Korean entertainment ever.

Thanks for everything.

oh and i totally agree w/ blademaster (the person commented before me) if SBS is smart they should hire you….and also the 41st commenter, you never know it just may work and you may just be back into actions before you know it… but no pressure if you don’t want to do all that it’s totally fine

OMG. When I found out about your youtube suspension, I was so close to crying. That’s how miserable I felt. I can’t believe through all those 2 years of subbing and translating Korean videos it has all actually gone down the drain. All I have to say is that I am really thankful for everything you’ve done with helping us fans with the disability of understanding Korean in translating and subbing Korean videos that have really satisfied us, tremendously (and I’m sure every single one of your fans feel the same way). Your excellent work will always and forever be appreciated, and all your videos will always be remembered. I also loved reading your comments in the video description, it was always interesting to read. If ever you return back to youtube, please make sure to inform us! We hope you’ll keep helping us 🙂 Coolsmurf, hwaiting~!! ❤

Cheryl on July 27, 2008 at 3:13 pm said:

Aw Alvin. I don’t watch your videos on YT since I download those stuff from CBs too… but does that mean that you’re gonna stop blogging about drama and entertainment news too? My korean is still not adequate enough for me to understand the whole news, and chunks of chinese translated words just makes my head spin. You’re my source of REAL entertainment (news) besides javabeans! Besides, I think the Singaporean Korean lovers need you as their connection too. 😉

(Psst no, Veoh is a bad idea too. They suspend videos for Japanese stuff as well. Sooner or later your stuff will fly too and history will repeat itself. Try the Korean sites. Or Chinese ones. Or MySpace videos for a change!)

I’m so sorry that this happened to you, especially since you dedicated so much time and effort into bringing subs to us non-Korean speakers. Thanks so much! I hope you feel better. My condolences.

I’ve never commented here before, but I’ve been reading this wordpress for quite awhile now. I’ve really appreciated your efforts all this time, subbing & uploading so many videos for us fans.

You made me fall in love with WGM and Wondergirls, as well as Eun Hye and Kim Jong Wook! : ( i feel depressed right now as all your hard work and my daily gulp of your fabulous videos have vanished in a flash. I hope you may reconsider on starting over, as we all have enjoyed your previous videos. If you do reconsider restarting, it’ll just be like a continuous cycle of your videos! With all of your fan’s support and your inspirational uploads, i’m sure everyone will keep in memory of the hardship of your previous account!

AJA AJA fighting oppa!

~~ Hope you reconsider and maybe restart.. for your thousands and thousands and thousands of your fans? :’ (

I just wanted to write a quick note to tell you that your youtube channel introduced me to the wonderful world of Korean entertainment. Xman was the first and I believe the best show i’ve seen and it saddens me that all ur cuts and subs are gone. I hope after the shock is over u can remember how many people you’d made happy with all your hard work and realise it wasn’t all done in vain. If u ever decide to open your account again you’d have plenty of supporters.

Thanks for everything

awwwwww….so you’re quitting????that’s sad to hear.
well, it must have been so disappointing to let all of your hardwork gone in vain. It’s already heart-wrenching for us, what’s more for you. You’ve been like a saviour for us non-koreans who can’t understand korean at all and waste your time subbing WG,X-MAN,WGM, etc vids just for our own benefit. I could have sworn that you’re my first love..ahaha..jkjk..not trying to sound like a stalker here. Though you make a mistake or two in your subs, there would be no one who could replace the title “the greatest subber/uploader in the history of youtube”ahaha..sounds corny i know but even with a million of thanks, it is nothing compared to the millions of sweat you produce just for the sake of us. Therefore, i would like to take this opportunity to show my gratitude towards all your effort and hardwork.

HWAITING ALVIN!!!

Hayz on July 27, 2008 at 4:07 pm said:

just out of curiosity alvin are you quiting completely? means like no more blog? man that would suck this is one of the best blog out there and hella entertaining and updated anyways if you continue to upload video in the future i’d say fck you tube and find another site that host em like dailymotion, crunchyroll, or veoh. also if you do i think it’s best to keep it asian related no offense out there so taht way they wont say anything and try to suspend ur acct well anyways it was very enjoyable reading ur blog and watching those sub vids on ur acct if it wasnt for ur blog i would have not know one of my most favorite show out there WGM and of course love the WonderGirls as well
magheritera on July 27, 2008 at 4:08 pm said:

i think connie talbot has just earned herself a whole load of antis…i can’t believe they did this for you, if it weren’t for your subs and videos those stars and shows would not have earned such a huge international following. seriously these people should stop being so hung up about rights and all that, it’s not like their shows get broadcasted very much abroad anyway, and they should look beyond the local market for some international recognition.

regardless coolsmurf thanks so much for all your videos, i wouldn’t have discovered so many good shows otherwise. thank you for all the subs, i know you weren’t obliged to and it was hard work, and your fans out there really appreciate all that you have done over the years.

and to the rest of coolsmurf’s fans, i hate connie too!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh yah, can i please just say that if you were ever thinking of re-doing it again in the future, pls pls pls dont load it on veoh. damn veoh has banned malaysia from accessing it.

You were the one that made me a fan of X-man, Stephanie The Grace & all of the CSJH The Grace members. You made me a fan of YEH & KJK. A fan of Solbi, a fan of Seo In Young, a fan of so much more. I’m truly gonna miss you & your videos.

Hi Alvin,
I just dropped by to let you know that though upon hearing the news of your YT account being suspended due to the demands of SBS Int., was very sudden and also your decision of completely stopping all uploads of Korean related shows, was also unexpected, us fans will remain grateful for all your hard work.

You’ve done an awesome job throughout these past two years and all your great efforts, I’m sure, is well known among many of us who watch your subbed videos.

Having done such projects, you were able to entertain us who are not able to understand Korean and give us the chance to watch and also be aware of their great shows.

I won’t ask for the continuation of your work since it will seem greedy and selfish of me. I’m just happy that you even had the patience to sub and upload all these videos ^^”
So once again, thank you sooo much and hopefully you keep us updated of your activities!

i’m so pissed off right now and i’m definitely sad… you’re the one who introduced me to all the korean stuff. if not for your videos which are english subbed, there will be little known about korean entertainment. damn! don’t they know that we knew them now because you helped them be known. sheesh…

i really can’t believe that this happened. i hope you come back. we’re rooting for you.

thanks for all the effort. but please be back.

COOLSMURF made KOREAN ENTERTAINMENT known!!!

It’s a real pity! Youtube will never be the same without you!! Seriously, I checked your account for update everyday….your subbed videos are the best!

I started off with KJK and YEH videos. then Xman and so on….

I can say I fell in love with K.Entertainment cause I watched your subbed videos.

I just wanna say thank you for all the hard works you have done!! You have my support all the way!

my eyes nearly dropped into the bowl of ramen kimchi i was eating when i saw that your site was suspended! i was like 0_0…. then i was frantic refreshing the page and even restarting my computer just because i couldn’t believe it! now that it finally hit me …. i wanna cry! your page is the only korean vdos with eng sub that i watch EVERY NIGHT before bed. i can’t believe it! all i can say is that your page was loved by so many people! how could they? i’m so sorry, i know this pisses you off more than it does to us since you put so much effort into your page, uploading so many vdos. i’m so sorry! and all i can do is go sign the petition that someone started. i found the link over at asianfanatics.net, i signed it and left a comment too. i hope that everyone of your fans go and signs it so that they know how loved and appreciated you are! argh! i still cannot believe this! *_*

NOOOOOOOoo. I cant believe this! I’m really sorry to hear that,coolsmurf. Like the many hundreds of people here,i’m also one of them that learn about korean wave through your blog and your videos,and now i’m a big fan of korean wave and especially wondergirls,as you can see.Thank you all this time for all the videos and the translations.Its really unfair isnt it?You do a good deed by fulfilling people’s request to upload certain videos people requested with subs,but all you got back is your acc suspended by these videos.=( Its really devastating to hear that coolsmurf.Well,i dunno what is your next step after this,but i’ll support you all the way! Hwaiting!…and again THANK YOU.

mike on July 27, 2008 at 6:42 pm said:

firstly i am one of those ppl who cannot be bothered as i am like wad some ppl say a silent reader but knowing that yr YT account is being suspended makes me really sad as i wont be able to occupy my time with yr HQ videos…i sure every surfer at coolsmurf.wordpress.com or youtube.com/coolsmurf is also very very sad… but we hope that u could still upload yr hq videos and also post up more kpop news especially yr WG fansite…it is one of the sites that i must to go to everyday or else i wont be able to sleep. In a way i agree that wad sbs did was write as it was copyright infringement but for coolsmurf’s case it wasn… as he was spreading kpop and k culture arnd the world. In a way we shld thank him as he help people to appreciate kpop[ like foe eg. me. im an indian but i hav no idea why i would get hooked to kpop(MaYBE its because of my mixed blood…im also half chinese). so we definetely hope that u will return…dont give up ok!!!!
bulet on July 27, 2008 at 6:46 pm said:

really…I don’t get it why you did suspended about this. don’t they also translated abroad news to korean??? it because they want to share the news just like you coolsmurf…
Is it really the end??? what will you do next??? cause the way I see it you spend so much care and time for this….it’s your hobby…I can’t imagine you’ll stop completely. even you couldn’t do this anymore please don’t stop your creative side:)

thanks for all you did…

OMG T___T
YOU’re the one that even started Charice’s career!!!
You will be missed~!
And i was in the middle of watching WGM too T___T

Thanks for all the videos you have uploaded~~~

I usually don’t comment but seeing that your account got suspended, I just had to say something.
Thankyou for uploading and subbing so many videos, especially the clips of the Wonder Girls. Your other blog was a place where I would visit everytime I log on to the computer to keep up to date with the Wonder Girls. I don’t how I would survive without you ><
Coolsmurf Fighting!!
Trang2610 on July 27, 2008 at 7:00 pm said:

really …I am about to cry now ~.~
this is sooo sad…I’ve been watching every vid of you
even though I wish that you would come back …I can’t blame you because you’ve said that you will quit when the time comes and we should enjoy the things as long as it lasted .
it’s time to let go even though it really really hard .

thank you soooo much for your hard work over those 2 years and all the funny andd wonderful moments you gave all of us!!!!

AJA AJA Fighting!!!!!!!
YOU ARE THE BEST!
amanda park on July 27, 2008 at 7:01 pm said:

is this why wonder girls tell me video with like 4 million hits is gone too??? eh.. usually SBS doesnt care if clips are uploaded on the internet.. because HONESTLY.. there are billions of shows from SBS that have been uploaded on youtube by whole bunch of ppl… not just coolsmurf.. it prolly either has to do with connie talbot’s ppl.. or some stupid jap that sent a request or something.

this is really upsets news.

OMG! I wanted the yoon eunhye and kimJJ vids.!!! I knew I shouldve download them. Are you going to upload some again? Or maybe we can ask for it by mail or no??? PLEASE replay backkk.
bomi on July 27, 2008 at 7:31 pm said:

been a silent reader for areaaall looong time.

Can’t believe this is happening. I had the same thougt with some people here about “advertising” Connie Talbot. Those youtube videos helped her be known. We’ve experienced this many many times, that if you post a video on youtube, and if it’s good, you’d be famous. Isn’t that what CT wants?? I don’t get it at all >.<

Thank you for all the videos you’ve shared with us. If there’s anything we can do, just let us know! I’ve signed all the petitions in this page, and took many friends to sign too!

ARGH.. i’m so sad that i can’t watch Anbi-Alshin-Ant couple anymore.

im so gutted and cant believe that the coolsmurf channel is gone forever 😦 my sincere condolences

Winterholic on July 27, 2008 at 8:17 pm said:

I’ve been a silent reader and subscriber to your channel for the last 2 years, and after seeing this post, I can’t help but feel depressed and a bit empty inside. Your videos and articles were what got me into K-Entertainment in the first place, and for that, I want to thank you for all the hard work you’ve put into this.

I, like many others here, have enjoyed your videos and posts over the years, and have found myself checking this blog daily for updates on what clips might await at the end of my day. It’s a shame to see you go like this, as I really don’t know of another source for subbed videos like yours, but I hope you’ll continue to grace us with updates on the korean entertainment industry on this blog.

You’re right, you had a good run for the last two years, and I was one of many lucky enough to enjoy it.

Thanks for all the hard work you’ve put into the YT channel and this blog =].
treesaww on July 27, 2008 at 8:19 pm said:

oh my lame. your videos are practically the reason why I even go on youtube. If it weren’t for your videos I wouldn’t have the love I have for x-man, yeh & kjk couple, love letter, and We Got Married. And if it weren’t for your ideos I doubt those shows would even have the fanbase that they have now. I sincerely hope this suspension is only temporary, and if not I hope you still continue to sub for the fans and if not, then I thank you so much for the past two years (man I can’t believe it’s been that long).

sk on July 27, 2008 at 8:54 pm said:

Pfft, These people, as soon as something they’ve done becomes recognised worldwide (which is all due to you and other subbers of these shows) they wanna snatch it away so they can make some moolah.

I wouldn’t be suprised if htey made a website only dedicated to english where you pay to watch their tv shows in subtitles.

Business is about money, tis a shame.

I hope Charice sees this and makes a stand saying you should be allowed and if it wasn’t for you she and other people wouldn’t even have been recognised outside of Asia or even out of Korea/Phillipines!
Susie on July 27, 2008 at 8:56 pm said:

Gosh!!! Cant believe this!!

Seriously, i cannot believe this!!!! What I’m gonna do!?

Coolsmurf, you introduce me Xman, WGM, love letters and all those interesting shows. What should I do without your videos!?

Again, thank you so much for your hard works. You can see now how peo appreciate your works and they’re not sush a waste!

Whatever will happen, do what you want Alvin. And please continue this page..pleaseeee.

Fighting!
Leon on July 27, 2008 at 8:58 pm said:

Who says it’s Connie Talbot’s Management that did this.
They (through US label) have just produced a video for her upcoming USA visit which specifically makes a point about all her YouTube views. They have supported her YouTube exposure on many channels. No other TV companies have
sought to prevent or pull videos. So why blame Connie?!

SBS have received free world-wide publicity with the Yoo Ye Eun/Connie video. It’s been linked throughout the web. The story had whole pages in major newspapers and online versions too. Why decide now to pull the vids.

They could now market ‘Star King’ as a recognised and known product across the world thanks to channels like coolsmurf’s. We need to know the facts before blaming
Connie Talbot’s Management Team or anyone else connected.
miyaka on July 27, 2008 at 9:01 pm said:

Sad about your accnt 😦 gosh, yours was the best when it comes to variety shows.

About the petition though… sorry to burst the bubble for everyone… but petitions like that would not work. I just checked youtube help/general questions bec i also would want to help out. Unfortunately, there’s info there that says petitions such as that would not change their mind. A violation is a violation but if the account owner itself would counter the charges by sbs –that means sending a document to court, hiring attorneys and such, the decision might be reversed… that is if sbs would be nice enough to change their mind regarding their vids in youtube. 😦

SBS is so cruel. SBS never thought that their programmes are so popular because of coolsmurf sub team. I understand about the copyrights but maybe u could post up a petition considering there are already 500 plus comments here.
Wantabe on July 27, 2008 at 9:20 pm said:

Dear coolsmurf,
I am really appreciate about what you did. Your work is not just effort but also for people’s smile, their tears and their love for you.
When I typed the search word “coolsmurf” as my ever habit on utube, it appeared nothing. I laugh ‘cuz i thought my crap laptop was kidding me again. But it was not kidding.
Yes, damn them. If they were going to close your account, why dont they also close the Youtube. There are rules but not right in any situation.
Where is the coolsmurf that we known, where is the one that we are so in love. Please forget the word “cant do anything”, kich that out of your head. For our love’s sake, Please dont give up.
May be you are thinking we dont know how you feel but we do as much as we love you. Pls dont!!!!

Lots of love,
Wantabe

I typed in coolsmurf and I got NOTHING!!! I was like “MWO!?!?!’ Saw my bulletin and found out that you were suspended!!! WHY OH WHY?!?!!?!?!?!

Alvin, honestly, you have made non-korean speaking people like me HAPPY with all those videos that you’ve subbed!! I started watching X-Man 2 years ago by going to your account. I started watching We got Married by going to your account!! You’ve made us all sooo happy and I NEVER got the chance to say how much I appreciate you subbing for us all!!!

Do do do come back to us. However, no matter what your decision is, I’ll support you.

Alvin, HWAITING!!!

Thanks once again for all those days, nights that I had watching your vids. ^_^

You’re the BEST!!!

I really hope you will continue with this blog. It is a daily ritual for me, coming here. Thanks to you, I’m addicted to Korean dramas, Korean pop….etc. Your site is great! The quality of the videos, the subbs… thanks a lot!!!
Loved your subbed X-man clips and even got a colleague hooked on it. We used to have a daily ‘chitchat’ on the episodes we watched the night before.
Please continue your blog.

thank you so much for everything you have done until now! though i have only stumbled upon this blog fairly recently, i have heard of your hard work and efforts for a while on other forums and communities. you will truly be missed even by those of us who don’t need english subs– it’s unfortunate to see such a hard worker have to say goodbye, but i understand that there’s a time and place for everything.

best of luck in all of your future endeavors! thanks coolsmurf!

Dear Alvin/Coolsmurf,
I’ve never, in my life till now, ever commented in a single blog or video comment sections. My way of thinking was selfish. I’ve thought it’s not worth it or I just couldn’t be bothered. The excuse I gave was I will only comment if I’ve been touched in my heart or affected in any way. For your information, you’re my hero 😉
You’ve no idea how much you have affected and touched me:
– your GENEROSITY in providing us (koreans/non-koreans) joy, pleasure, excitement, humour using your talent and skills =)
– your UNBIASED opinions of your videos and contents of your blog =)
– your DEDICATION to share videos and current news with us, though people like me did not show our appreciation for your sweat, your blood, your tears =)
– your WILLINGNESS to accept and welcome us with open arms as your friend and subscriber without any questions or doubts =)
– your UNSELFISHNESS and how THOUGHTFUL you were in crediting the kind subbers (thank you to everyone ^__^) of your videos. You always remember, you never forget =)
-your LOVE and APPRECIATION for korean culture and korean pop. I LOVE them too =D
I will never forget how grateful I was when you decided to stand up again after you experienced bashing and slashing from inconsiderate users. You may not have realized, but you carried on our hopes and smiles with your continued work. Do you know you, THE coolsmurf represented us? You remember your fans and appreciated and took in heart of our support for you =)
Truthfully, I understand the sadness and dissapointment you must be experiencing now. Thus, I should understand your decision for such a drastic move to quit. But, I sincerely hope coolsmurf and especially Alvin will revive again. I missed the times of watching, rewatching coolsmurf’s videos and reading, rereading coolsmurf’s wordpress =D
On a more positive note, do take care Alvin =) THANK YOU for your existence (hehe not exaggerated) and GOOD GOOD LUCK ~!!! Fighting 😉

Niki on July 27, 2008 at 10:37 pm said:

jaycee725 on July 27, 2008 at 10:38 pm said:

red on July 27, 2008 at 11:27 pm said:

Hi Alvin.. I know you read this many times.. but still i want to say my sincerest gratitude to you for subbing all the videos of charice pempengco, whom i idolized even before she got famous internationally.. plus the fact that you also introduce your fellow koreans in the world.. like the super junior i got to know them through your videos… and also i enjoyed a lot in all your videos specially xman and love letter, i hope after you read all the comments here, it will cheer you up.. thank you…. and hope you still continue of what you are doing…

be happy always because even you don’t know, you make people happy…… including me…

arggghhhh my day wouldn’t be complete anymore… 😦
arianne on July 27, 2008 at 11:30 pm said:

i’m so sorry that your account had been deleted…i only found out when i visited muishie’s account and apparently, youtube’s doing a mass suspension..it’s really sad that you’ve been one of the “vicitms”…thanks so much for your hard work…and good luck on your future projects (meaning, don’t give up!)

AJA AJA FIGHTING~!! ^_^V
arioflight on July 27, 2008 at 11:30 pm said:

It’s funny cause the corporate world does not understand how all sites, all marketing bumps their sales. Because your post was featured on the front page of WordPress, I viewed it, and viewed their artist.

I cannot tell you how many times I chose ITUNES over limewire because I loved a track so much, I wanted to make sure that I got a clean copy, and give credit to artist.

I post Pink Floyd and David Gilmour videos now and then, and I will be dammed to stop that! Every time I post, there are potential listeners, younger generations, that might never heard the quality of sound.

So I agree…keep fighting. Music is the universal language.
hl51 on July 27, 2008 at 11:38 pm said:

thanks for all the great videos…i enjoyed watching we got married from your youtube channel…sigh…hope you make a comeback somehow=)
Chris on July 27, 2008 at 11:50 pm said:

same as toppandrez

You’re the reason why i’m also addicted to Variety made-in- Korea! You gave me a purpose to be ‘connected’.

I wish you happiness in your future endeavours.

Honestly, I dont know who the heck is this Connie Talbot fella .. but hell .. you rock, Alvin .. you always do =)
Sally on July 28, 2008 at 12:07 am said:

aww.. man you were the one who got me hooked on variety shows.. especially WGM and XMAN..

so sad.. but thanks again for all the subbed videos..
and i hope that you’ll comeback again ..

good luck on your future projects…
choetso on July 28, 2008 at 12:15 am said:

awww ALVIN

it was such a shock not getting to your youtube page

it was SUCH a shock

i love everything while it lasted
honestly, the kpop industry should be thanking you, you got so many international fans

i love your work and hope to someday see it again

THANK YOU
sporkandfoon on July 28, 2008 at 12:18 am said:

omo omo
this can’t be true~!
i can’t believe it!
why suspend you when you’re doing no wrong~?
what rights do they have?!
argh!

i totally agree with the rest that YT will never be the same w/o you~ darn it!
where am i gonna get my clips of quality-subbed WGM??? esp clips of AlShin~
oh mann~ this is terrible!

alvin, keep it going there, please?
don’t quit~ there’re many people supporting you, heck, from all around the world~
hang in there!
cheers~
Kristine on July 28, 2008 at 12:24 am said:

omg! how is that infringing ?! =/
we’re all going to miss you . T__T
and thank you oh so much ❤
babypillow on July 28, 2008 at 12:25 am said:

alvin, u have made hella introduction with your korean variety shows videos – it was your channel that started me on Xman and the rest is history.

i can imagine how u are feeling but if it’s of any consolation, u are one solid selfless person for all the time and effort spend with your videos! coolsmurf will always be remembered among us and if u are going to keep at it, u have a ready bunch of supporters!

many thanks, i really appreciate it.
panhia87 on July 28, 2008 at 12:27 am said:

I can’t believe they got you too! I know exactly how you feel right now, because my account got axed too. Agh, youtube is a pain ain’t it? Mine happened exactly like yours; I had no idea they sent me an email to remove some videos, and bam I tried logging in and it said my account has been disabled. I opened up a new one, but just thinking of all of those videos gone makes you feel like you don’t want to start all over again. That’s why my account is so dead right now.

But really, you have so much people coming here to show support, so please don’t give up! It’s a nice way to start fresh, and always check emails when you upload new things because everyone else will end up like us both. =S

Take care and when you are ready, come and join us again. Take all of this positive energy from everyone and come back bigger, stronger, and better! =D

Really, thanks for all of the awesome videos! I’ve enjoyed them all a lot~ I will really miss them; I’ve been rewatching some of the x-man cuts these past few days because I’ve missed x-man. Now it’s gone. It’s good while it lasted, eh?

Fan

sam on July 28, 2008 at 12:30 am said:

this is honestly disappointing. i dotn think your videos were copyright infringement at all…..so many of us international fans got to love kpop even more because of you. YOU got me anticipating for we got married..i got my guy friends addicted too thanks to you=)

coolsmurf! I went on youtube today wondering where your account went and I decided to check your blog site..and BAM i get this bad news!!!!! I normally don’t write any comments…but I just have to say that I absolutely LOVE all the videos you subbed! Thanks so much for all the time and effort that you placed in helping us understand the korean entertainment! Good luck!!!! aja aja fighting!

Cant believe it. OMG I CANT BELIEVE IT!!! How can they do this to you?! URGH STUPID YOUTUBE!!! All the great Xman vids, the great memories. Nobody did it as well as you did. OMG Im going to miss it so so terribly…..

I’m writing to Youtube…If Coolsmurf is going down, I want to take Connie/her people with him…this is what I wrote (feel free to copy and paste and email Youtube also)…

copyright@youtube.com
Subject: Youtube DMCA counter-notification.

Hello,

Coolsmurf channel was recently suspended. Please see note below by owner of channel:

“This is to notify you that we have removed or disabled access to the following material as a result of a third-party notification by SBS International, Inc. claiming that this material is infringing:

Star King #65 – Blind Pianist Ye Eun & Connie Talbot
Star King #65 – Connie Talbot Interview and Sings Again
Star King #65 – Connie Talbot Sings Over The Rainbow ”

Connietalbotonline also infringed on this copyright. Please see links:

(Star King #65 – Blind Pianist Ye Eun & Connie Talbot)

(Star King #65 – Connie Talbot Interview and Sings Again)

(Star King #65 – Connie Talbot Sings Over The Rainbow)

Please forward this to the party who submitted the original claim of copyright infringement.

Thank you for your time.

I don’t know if Connie has her own youtube account, Connietalbotonline channels seems to be a fanchannel…but if we get her Star King videos deleted, I’m sure this will impact her somehow…and let Youtube and Connie’s people know that WE are a force to be reckoned with…

All my fave YT uploaders are being suspended!!! Whats happening, is Yt on a roll or something ??? It saddens me greatly to actually read about your farewell. I hope…this is only a temporary thing? For sure we’re gonna miss you so much on YT, you know you are loved much right?? ^^ Anyway if you decide to make a comeback sometime in the future…please notify me? hehe Thanks for all the hard work so far, we really appreciate it <333

was quite shocked to hear about your account..

anyway just wanted to say thanks for all the subbing you’ve done all this while. we’ll be supporting you if you choose to start subbing again! (:

coolsmurf fighting!

thats so wrong =( I”ve always depended on you to watch WGM! T_T
yippieyeah on July 28, 2008 at 1:02 am said:

OMG I was so shocked to hear about it…Feel the pain for you too but I am really so sad that you are quitting. I think I can safely say that the hallyu wave and the many people who got featured in the videos got more famous because of fansubbed videos like these that allow more people to know them. How can they do this??

I have always tuned in to your video…really hope you will be back *sobs* Gah I wanna complain to the idiots who did this
me on July 28, 2008 at 1:16 am said:

You introduced me to korean entertainment through your xman vids and for that I thank you. I’m gonna miss all those xman clips, and I’m sure its more painful for you…

Coolsmurf hwaiting!

Thanks for being the best subber around.

We’ll still look forward to your blog at least?

michelle on July 28, 2008 at 1:39 am said:

ah jeez this sucks but thank you for all your hard work it’s been such a long road I am a silent reader and I comment a couple of times in your video honestly I wasnt that interested in to korean entertainment than I watched a clip of xman and I came across you if it weren’t for you I wouldn’t have know so many great korean artists in the entertainment world. I had a lot of laughs from your videos and loved everything you subbed. Yoon eun hye, haha, kjk, park myung soo, chae yeon, wonder girls, etc all those people I wouldn’t have known if it weren’t for you so thank you it’s hard for us fans but it must also be hard for you

cool smurf fighting!

I was shocked when hearing ’bout this…I don’t really understand why they did this..But this is a pain, not just for you, it’s a pain for us too.

안돼!!!
GOSH!!!! like many other YouTubers, i *waving*, am a HUUUUUGE Fan of yours! seriously… u don’t need to appear on a reality tv show n vying for people votes!!!
You’ve been loved by everybody now…

wow, as a subscriber myself, i appreciate how much effort u’ve put on to get all the videos n subbed them..
it sucks how an authority came in n spoils everything… ㅠ_ㅠidk why, but isn’t this another way to virtually expose their artistes to the world??

mannnn… anywho, Thanks a lot for sharing the awesome videos…!!!!

p/s: i’m still a fan! in SG!

another p/s: btw, did u managed to catch the cutie Yoo Ye Eun when she came to S’pore for a charity event??
rangelbabys on July 28, 2008 at 2:17 am said:

Alvin,
PLEASE FILE A COPYRIGHT CLAIM DISPUTE (counter-notice)

According to the Youtube help page:

After we send out the counter notification, the claimant must then notify us within 10 days that he or she has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on YouTube. If we receive such notification we will be unable to restore the material. If we do not receive such notification, we may reinstate the material.

See? Do you think SBS would seek a court order to restrain you? I HIGHLY DOUBT IT…

So if Youtube doesn’t receive such notification WITHIN 10 DAYS, they may reinstate the material…

JUST GET RID OF THOSE DAMN CONNIE VIDEOS WHEN YOUTUBE REINSTATES YOU!!!!

this is truly heart wrenching, you must’ve been one of the main reasons i even knew about youtube T_T

all of your hardwork and effort through these past two years will always be greatly acknowledged! I guess it’s about time you got your break from all the subbing mayhem. The rest of us will just have to cope.

But nevertheless i will continue to support you! and we’ll all be checking your wordpress daily as we had been doing with your youtube account!

oh gosh, I’m so sad and so sorry about what happened to your account. (they totally suck!)

but thank you Alvin for being so dedicated to subbing those videos for the past 2 years. If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t love Korean variety shows, and I never would have taken the chance to get to know the singers and cast members and just plain fall in love with Korean Entertainment. Thank you! Thanks for introducing me to Yoon Eun Hye and Kim Jong Kook. Those two will always be close to my heart, as will you and the memories of your wonderful account!

Noooooooooo! You were the best! I have so many of your videos saved as “favorites.”

Didn’t say it before, but Thanks for all your hard work. I know it takes a lot of your valuable time. Hopefully you’ll come back one day. I’ll be looking forward to it.

hey Alvin,

just wanted to say thanks for the past two years. i can’t believe it’s been that long since i started watching your xman videos.
norie on July 28, 2008 at 6:10 am said:

omg your account was like the best….i got into suju and charice bcoz of your site..we even used your site for our asian month project for school…im gonna miss your account..thank you for all the fun shows youve uploaded…
Gen on July 28, 2008 at 6:32 am said:

omg!!! i am soo sad!! it feels soo weird loggin into youtube and your videos not being there!!! thanks again!!!
DKYang on July 28, 2008 at 6:40 am said:

My account was permanently disabled. So at least your account is still suspended, but might eventually become disabled also. If you every do feel like uploading more subbed clips, feel free to email me and I’ll send you the site that I use to upload streaming videos. You could just post it in your blog since so many of your viewers already bookmarked your blog.
jonathan in florida on July 28, 2008 at 7:01 am said:

wow already 641 comments?! I commented yesterday and it was up to 87 so far.. shows just how much support and viewership you had (have) coolsmurf… thanks again and keep your chin up
Katie on July 28, 2008 at 7:04 am said:

i really couldn’t believe that your account just got deleted
it took a long time for it to sink in that all your wonderful videos are gone
but i don’t get the fact that you’re quitting everything?!
i mean, i understand that you are sad about you’re account being deleted and i think you know that there are thousands of people out there that visit you’re channel everyday to watch your videos that they love
especially seeing how WGM is soo popular these days, your channel was the only place that people trust for a quality sub video
we could always watch whatever it is in the other subbers channel but so much of us stayed loyal to you
and now to just say that you’re quitting everything is a bit mean
i’m sorry if i’m being harsh when this has probably had a bad effect on you already and now i’m adding to it but please
reconsider your decision of quitting (since there are many more ways to keep uploading your videos) and i hope that you will change your mind and please think about all your fans on youtube
murphy on July 28, 2008 at 7:33 am said:

omg this FREAKING SUCKS ASS man! WTH????
Who the hell is Connie anyway? I doubt it’s SBS doing, since Coolsmurf had other SBS stuff that didn’t get deleted but it was Connie’s videos that got deleted.
Why couldn’t they have just deleted her vidoes? why the whole account? this is so unfiar!
Coolsmurf, thank you for all the hard works. it’s really really unfair that your account was delted. really enjoyed your videos for past 2 years.

Hey coolsmurf

u da best i luv all ur video bt youtube sucks!!!!!!!!!!

LUV U!
summerxsummer00 on July 28, 2008 at 7:45 am said:

Coolsmurf,

I just wanted to thank you for everything you have done in the past two years. It was because of you that i became a big Korean fanatic…lol
Because of your uploading Kim Jong Kook and Yoon Eun Hye clips from X-Man, i became a huge fan of them and the show, which in turn made me get into other Korean things.
I think it was about two years ago i got interested in Asian music and tv shows, and ide have to say that you were one of my biggest influences when it came to me becoming a fan. Because of all your hard work uploading & subbing, i was able to be introduced to a lot of things i never knew existed and awesome music, tv shows, and people. For that i am truly greatful. If it wasnt for you taking time to translate and post videos i would have never been introduced to all of what i am now. Because of you i know Charice Pempengco is one of the most amazing singers ive ever heard. Because of you i now am a Anbi-holic, and watch “We Got Married” religiously…lol
If anything, i think SBS should thank you, because people like you help to introduce us foreigners to Korean Entertainment, and become dedicated fans.
I truly appreciate the hard work and time you have put into subbing and uploading, all for others to see. Your amazing!
I thank you sooooooo much!!! 😀

I’m so sad this happened to you too. I didn’t want to believe it until I came here and read things for myself.

Mahalo for your hard work….I’ll never forget how I got so anxious just waiting for the next subbed episode of We Got Married.

You will never be forgotten. 😀

i’m suprised to find out that your YT account was suspended. i am a huge fan and viewer of your videos. from xman, to MVs, and WGM. i’m so sorry that you have to leave.

if ever you’ll return to make videos, please, i’d love to know. good luck with what ever you’ll pursue after this.

You win some, and you lose some. Don’t like this be your setback.

On another note, thanks for everything. From WGM to music videos, your subs were really the best. No one is dedicated like you, even though you have hundreds of projects going on, you still managed to keep your fans happy.

I guessed I wouldn’t be so irritated if your account got suspended for a Korean show/artist but Connie? WTH?

I wish you the best of luck. Thanks.

I just wanted to say I am soo sorry to hear that this happened to you. I am SUCH a fan of WGM thanks to you. YouTube just won’t be the same now. And no matter what you decide to do when you get over the shock, just know that myself, and thousands more like me appreciate all your hard work and effort!!!
Shin on July 28, 2008 at 9:21 am said:

People get suspended all the time! Please don’t make this the end! I mean look at all the other fan subs that always get back on their feet!

YouTube listens to petitions, you didn’t do anything wrong. You always just do clips anyway. Please stay strong… for all of us who rely on your to translate Asia’s gifts into the English language.
anastasia on July 28, 2008 at 9:22 am said:

Alvin you have been nothing but awesome..
I wondered why some artists didn’t realize that youtube is a perfect channel to promotes their music and themselves as an artist. How many ordinary yet talented people has succeed in reaching the star through youtube. Unless we didn’t do it to taking advantage of their copyright then they should be REALLY grateful to us.

For all your handworks and kind efforts for all this time we owed you a big thanks and we do appreciated all your works. I think even words can’t reflects our feelings of appreciation.
soyboy on July 28, 2008 at 9:25 am said:

^ sucks to be that number…who ever it is above me….

Anyway….Alvin!!!! I’m so sad for you! If you’re crying, I’m crying with you. You put so much effort into translating. I hope you will continue this excellent blog.

As for SBS, they should be ashamed. You were the one who made Star King popular and internationally known. They’re so ungrateful.

Alvin Hwaiting!

Don’t give up, but if you do, I just wanna say thank you!!

I REALLY REALLY HOPE that you’ll continue subbing.

i really can’t bare to imagine the following week.

I’m waiting for your “”comeback””…!!!

THANK YOU ALVIN FOR ALL THE HARD WORK. !

THANK-YOU

thanks for continuing to provide us with content. Ive been a silent viewer and reader for a while now but I never got to say my thanks. so thank you SO much.
moo on July 28, 2008 at 11:03 am said:

i’m speechless.

-sighs-

anw, i’d still take the opportunity to thank you for your dedication in subbing, thus satisfying my crave for korean videos.

without you, i would’ve missed out on the most hilarious show ever; x-man.

without you, i would’ve never changed my perspective towards seo in young. you brought me into the sweet world of “We Got Married’ and brought smile to my face every week.

for that, i thank you. as others have mentioned, youtube will never be the same again. =( but all the best alvin, and remember that there are people everywhere standing strong behind you. =)

xbfloater on July 28, 2008 at 11:09 am said:

Hi all,

This is what I’ve commented in the online petition:

“Please reinstate this account by allowing him to remove current non-Korean video uploads that are violating international copyrights. Old & even current Korean shows’ video clips should be allowed to remain in Youtube as they are not available for sale outside of Korea (therefore no profits impact to SBS) & even if they’re on sale, probably not with English subtitles. This account is the only reason why people out of Korea gets to know about SBS’ variety shows.”

Hope we can add in some serious reasons to justify our petitions for coolsmurf.

I just started on X-man 2 months ago, so this is really a big big shock to me. Coolsmurf, please find another avenue to share back all your “heart & soul” video clips. Although 2 yrs worth of effort is tough to track back, we shall be patient and be with you all the way. Probably take this chance to make all your X-man, LL, WGM subbings & uploads even better…

Thanks for all sharing all your love & joy with everyone in the world, even Peru! Amazing…!
tetay on July 28, 2008 at 11:09 am said:

so sad really…your KJK-YEH subbed vods help me get through my hard days…watching makes me feel better..i keep going back and watch.

thanks so much and Godspeed!

you will be sorely missed…maybe no words can make you feel better at this point.

just want to say thanks thanks so much..for your generosity..which was abused sometimes by those who cant even wait….

thanks so much and Godspeed!

We are fortunate to have been witness to a phenomenon, “Charice phenomenon,” that will be hard to duplicate. You and falsevoice started this phenomenon and we will never forget that! There’s nothing to be sorry about and this is definitely not the end. Keep on bloggin & postin!

This is so sad and unfortunate all your hard work over the past two years has been deleted. 😦 I really appreciated and enjoyed your subbed videos. You were one of the only people I subscribed to on youtube and I looked forward to your video updates everyday. But now…I don’t really have a reason to go on youtube anymore. And lots of other people’s accounts were deleted also in the past two days. *sighs* Thanks for all your hard work. I really appreciate it. I hope that one day you will upload videos again on youtube.

OMG….
NO.
I am really really REALLY upset.

…I don’t even know what to say to you.

I can’t believe this happened! WHY? Are they MAD!? Its thanks to you that many of us are even INTO Korean entertainment …. damn it.

Srsly man, your account … it was my lifestream for entertainment online.

I am so so depressed. Please coolsmurf, please don’t leave. We will wait for you to come back…however long it takes.

Honestly Alvin, I am being so honest….”coolsmurf” became a big part of my daily internet life. I want to remember what I used to watch. Its sad to know I can’t ever go back to your account. I almost grew attached to it.

Man…I should have saved those videos while I had the chance ;__; Any chance you will post your subbed videos up for download for fans of coolsmurf? I want to remember and store your hardwork and subs on my hard drive, since … I can’t ever view them again 😦

I really hope you don’t shut down this blog.

Alvin, PLEASE consider posting up downloads to your videos. You gave us all so many memories, laughs … amazing content and made our lived a little happier…. it would be shame if others unaware of k-ent never see the awesome stuff you subbed so that we could laugh along with it. The funny shows, the laughs, the memories… =(

Coolsmurf should still live on.
I am glad I ATLEAST have your XMAN subs from soompi, burned on my DVD. Please consider releasing your other ones?

I have signed the petition 9http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/AgainstCOOLSMURFsuspension/index.html) and I am going to try to get others to as well.

I hope there is a way to revive your account. Did you try contacting YT?

You should have atleast gotten a warning. An account suspension with hundreds of videos based on only three is ABSURD. You should have gotten the three stirkes.

I was so sad when I found out your account was suspended… how will I ever watch We Got Married? You were the only source for it. It was the only thing that got me through each week unfortunately. And all those videos gone…

Thanks for all your hard work though! I sincerely appreciate it!
DBSKaddict on July 28, 2008 at 1:54 pm said:

I’ve gotta say, your suspension from youtube has affected me more than any other suspensions of other people ever had. Your videos on youtube have been the ones that I have been looking forward to all the time which I checked daily on youtube for any updates. If there were no updates, there were often times when I would go to your nicely organized playlists (that are truly worth praising) and find something to watch-which often happens to be xman & before I know it, hours have gone by already and so has my boredom. Your videos have gotten me interested in a lot of korean entertainment, especially variety shows such as xman, love letter, star king and we got married. If it weren’t for your videos, I would never be as interested in Korean entertainment and would probably know nothing about Korean celebrities! Thanks for taking the time to upload and sub all the videos for the people out there, we truly appreciate it. I’m sorry about your suspension, I don’t know what to look forward to on youtube now. But if there’s any chance that you will come back (which I truly wish for), I know that you will have a lot of supporters. Thank you Coolsmurf!

I was really shocked when I heard news of your youtube account suspension….You were the one who got me exposed to YEH and KJK in the very first place. Damn! I should have download those videos when they were still there.

I know its really not easy translating and uploading those videos and I’m amazed how in the world can you find so much time to translate and sub all those videos which you upload. Thanx for your effort and dedication to subs those shows including Xman, WGM etc.

I really don’t understand whats with the copyright issues…. Don’t they spend loads and loads of money on advertising to promote their stars/shows? So isn’t it good for their shows/stars to have a wide exposure all around the world?
I don’t get why SBS will do it unless they are trying to sell DVD/VCD with English subs of their programmes.

I’m sure alot of people here(including me) will support you whatever your decision is….

i dont know if you saw this topic on soompi but there are many people that will miss watching the videos that you uploaded for all of us to enjoy. personally, i became addicted watching the episodes of x-man that you had subbed and uploaded. 🙂 thank you.

hey!
i just want to say that, without your XMAN videos, i would have known about KPOP FANDOM AT ALL. thank you sosososo much for subbing the videos. they really kept me going…
i was just wondering if you could still let us DWL the videos that you subbed to watch? i depend alot on your videos and it’s really sad to see them all gone like that D;

but still, you have been a really great all the way, and i got to know lots of people through your videos.

NOOOO!! How can youtube do this?! WTF.

This is such a heartbreaker… I used to come to your site for all my info on the WG’s man 😦

Please keep up your hard work… and please let us all know when/if you open a new account. 🙂

THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOU’RE ONE OF MY HEROES!!
ratzeputz26 on July 28, 2008 at 7:03 pm said:

I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work and say that i’m very very sorry about your suspension. Here in Germany we normally have no chance of seeing the least bit of korean TV, but because of people like you we are able to enjoy all those great shows!
So thanks again for the videos and your wondeful blog!!

Dear coolsmurf, its been two days and still the moment i log onto youtube, i click your account and get that depressing message. things are so not the same without you. thank you for all that you’ve done subbing wondergirls (hearts!), we just married and KJK…i am eternally grateful and missing you sorely!!
Terah on July 28, 2008 at 7:48 pm said:

Coolsmurf, I just can’t believe this is happening, I really enjoy all your hard work! You’re definitely one of the reason whyI go on youtube. Please fight them on this! Truly lost right now! I just can’t believe it.
Sarah on July 28, 2008 at 7:56 pm said:

Dailymotion isn’t as restrictive with copyrighted material like YouTube, however YT has more exposure.

Even though it’s a real damn shame your vids are gone, at least you weren’t sued. $:\$ Some companies can press ridiculous charges just to get money.

Anyway, I appreciate your hard work sharing Korean entertainment with all of us. Your generosity won’t be forgotten. And thank you for posting mostly unbiased translated news (it’s ironic that there’s more sites with the same gimmick of bashing celebs or exaggerating news).

The saying, “one person can make a difference” holds true in this case.

Thank you, Coolsmurf.

hey dude!

sorrie bout the account suspension. I seriously like your account alot. It’s something that I check everyday. Thanks for all the hardwork all these year.

PS I’ve joined and wrote the petition to help you out. That’s the least that I could do for you for whatever you had done all these while.

Coolsmurf.. i was so surprised when I realized I had no subscription updates from you recently and found out why! Really really from the bottom of my heart thank you SO much for all the subbing you have done for us. YOu are truly one of the reasons i was able to become SO addicted to Xman, WGM, and kpop. I still appreciate your blog and the updates you share with us on the stars of Korean culture. If you do decide to become active again,we will surely support you again!!!!
Alvin's Fan on July 28, 2008 at 9:00 pm said:

Oh Alvin..I want to cry right now…
Yours was my fave channel.
I loved you WGM, wonder girls, and charice videos.
Yours were comprehensive and got really good eng subs.
I really dont care who Connie Talbot is, for me shes just some cute little mess who joined some Brit talent show. If it werent for your account not many people would know her. Gosh I hate the connie talbot people and them doing this to you only makes lots of CT haters too.
How come it’s copyright infringement when you only post parts of the shows? Were you given warnings before Youtube suspended you?
Holy shitzu, if youre going to make a new account, dont upload CT videos no more, she brings you down darn.
Just keep on blogging! We all love yah! Alvin fighting!
b0mii-kjp0p on July 28, 2008 at 9:01 pm said:

GRRR youtube sucks big time X_X
sorry about your suspension.
i know how it feels like since
you spent time subbing & uploading~

i`ve gotten maybe 2 youtube
+ another 2? veoh accs suspended
with quite a bit of videos uplaoded~
but i never stop & keep uploading
because right now i don`t really
mean to the world that much, so i
decided to upload to feel a sense
of acomplishment, you know the
feeling of promoting + sharing..
(but of course with credits.
i do hate leeching off though i
did without being aware -.-)
though nowdays i`m getitng busy
& lazy to upload anymore~

but anyway you always have us,
fans of yours behind you =)
we support you! hwaiting ok?!

hmm maybe changing to
another streaming site?
or ermm changing titles so
it could not be easily search?
but anyway i guess you want some
time off to recover from your shockness,
sadness & sort out your thinkings on if
you still want to upload~
J on July 28, 2008 at 9:12 pm said:

Whoa, as you can see with the number of comments already, you are a very popular person with K-pop & Entertainment fans who do not understand a single video without your subs! I just wanted to take some time out to write how much I’ve appreciated your hard work over who knows how long, and that you have a super huge fanbase grateful for everything you’ve done for us. Thinking of the time and hard work that you have put into for fans is amazing, so thank you! Corporations like SBS really don’t realise how much exposure you are giving them to international fanbases. Ugh.
olyn21 on July 28, 2008 at 9:53 pm said:

oh my… many were suspended.. why?hehe… well can we do anything about it?id have to agree with the people who commented here… such a loss.. and im not a korean so if we got married will have no subs anymore?how will i ever understand it!? ahhh…. so sad!!!!!!!!!! who the h**L… ahhh ok wont say anything more!

Lucky on July 28, 2008 at 10:23 pm said:

I visited of youtube to see on the english sub for the show and finding you on the first. It’s mean that you’re number one of subbing supporter for people around the world that did not understand on Korean language then cause to we love/like on Korean show. If youtube no sub may not too much people come in.

Coolsmurf, pls. take a rest for a while. I will pray for you to get the return account in soon.

Thank you so much for the work so hard for our non Korean. Coolsmurf flighting. AJA…..

first time i read this…i’m totally shock.so i create something for u.

On this street i meet u by a change
Even now i still don’t forget that
And maybe for the rest of my life

Through u,i know a new world
A new world that only have sweet ,nice n wonderful
memories
Through u,all sad things gone
Gone as fast as a sunset in the evening
Through u,only sweet memory left
Sweet memories that makes life better

Through your miracle hand,a new life start
A new life that make everything wonderful
Through your miracle hand,a light ignite in the dark room
A light that make everything clear
Make the dark go away
The dark that confussing and sad
Trought your miracle hand,a garden become beautiful
with colourful flower
A garden that make makes everyone fell great

the first time i know korea is from your video Xman variety show.From that point,i know lot of korean actor/actress.Since then i become korean fanatics and also become one of DBSK fan.It really change my life.Through your video i also can speak korean (a little).
Yesterday i read this post n totally shock.I fell like lost one of my friend

Whatever happen,just belive that we are beside u
Even if a violent rain is falling
Even in strong wing
We will be by your side
And u can get a strength from us
Like a snow white get a courage from 7 drawf
Like a husband get a courage from his wife

HWAITTING!! COOLSMURF

Oh my! i only know about this just now! i was away from my home for 1 week and i didn’t check the recent update and news, when i log in to youtube and try to check for WGM vid update at your youtube account and can’t access it then i realize that something’s definitely wrong! @#$@!!

It’s a really dissampointing what youtube has done to you but just to let you know, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING that you have done for us WGM fans!

I hope that something can be done about this

megane on July 29, 2008 at 12:50 am said:

…Dear Coolsmurf/Avin, your videos have been my joy since I discovered your channel through the subbed Charice’s Star King perfs last Nov.
I’ve been watching the WGM vids lately and now they’re gone. I’m saddened by all these.
If SBS is really the one behind this suspension thing, then they don’t really know what they’ve just done. You were instrumental in making their vids popular to the point that it was used so many times in promoting Charice’s performance, making them known all over the world but instead of recognizing your efforts and hardwork, they slap you with infringing on copyrighted material. Who the hell would understand their shows if they weren’t subbed in English? Would everyone have the time to learn Korean just to be able to understand their programs? They should be thankful for fansubbers like you! Or grateful!
Anyway, I, like your millions of fans, would like to thank you for all you’ve done and will be looking forward to your next projects.
…Love and best wishes from Reno,NV. Jiayou!

it seems pretty selfish of me to hope that after i said thanks but i think it’s what everyone hope

i’ll be going to your channel now ^^

second… i think SBS did one terrible mistake for korean entertainment! can we post comments on their homepage and flood them with all our frustrations?

third… we are all hoping for the BIG comeback! we are all hoping that it is not yet the end…. we are encouraging you to rest for a while…. and surprise us all with your BIG comeback!

see you soon Alvin/ Coolsmurf!

YouTube will never be the same without you! It’s such as shame that one of K-Entertainment most greatest advertisement around the world is gone! You really are one of the greatest Korean influences out there, in fact i’m sure your one of the reasons why people begin their korean studies is because of you. In fact in the fall I am going to actually take a KOR101 and I’d like to thank you for that since your one of the main reasons I discovered and maintained an interest in this at all!

Much love and respect! I hope you at least continue blogging!

P.S. – I don’t know if you found this already but here are some messages that are dedicated to you!

coolsmurf’s YouTube has been suspended.

People – please read coolsmurf’s AMENDED paragraph at the top of this.

An apology to Connie Talbot:

“…I am sorry to Connie Talbot and her fans because after being suspended over 3 videos with her in it, who can I blame at that very moment? I know that it’s not her fault nor her management now.”

It was absolutely nothing to do with Connie or her Management. So please stop blaming and flaming her!
dhereztrez on July 29, 2008 at 4:16 am said:

Thanks for all the subbed videos. I’ve watched the Dangyunhaji segments over and over, they never get old. If you ever start subbing again we’ll be here to subscribe immediately…an alternative could be offering downloads but it’s entirely up to you. I would support you either way. But it’s amazing how many people read the soompi thread at any given time, there were 20+ when I was just there earlier – beats even a concert thread on the day of.

donghwayoung on July 29, 2008 at 5:22 am said:

WE CAN CONTACT SBS INTERNATIONAL TO COMPLAIN TO THEM.. and let them know how stupid they are for suspending coolsmurf…

here are the main points of our complaints:
-coolsmurf NEVER made any money from his subbed vids
-coolsmurf subbed and uploaded for the sole purpose of PROMOTING korean pop culture to non-koreans
-SBS is foolish for thinking that something has been stolen from them, because if anything, coolsmurf’s videos only HELPED expand their audience..

i dont know if its also SBS international who reported other korean show uploaders such as momonsnow, soshisubs, and vickyisVIP who were also suspended recently..

If you do a new YT acc, you will get back the 23 000 subscribers without all the other vids.

I dont know how you worked, but dont you still have all the videos on your computer? I mean all the Xman and stuff.

Maybe you could try again, research of what you can upload and not, cuz isnt Xman allowed to upload for example?

You’re the man anyways, you have so many thousands of Fans and lovers from what you did. We dont need the other 800 videos, we just need you…

Coolsmurf! I was overwhelmed with shock and disbelief when my friend informed me about what happened your YouTube account. I’m an avid viewer of your “We Got Married” subs. You are, without a doubt, one of the best subbers out there and your work is greatly appreciated by so many people. Thank you for the fantastic subbing job and for uploading HQ versions of your videos. I always look forward to your weekly uploads.

I sincerely hope that this isn’t the end. When you’re ready and up for it again, please come back and share with us the videos we all love and enjoy watching. YouTube won’t be the same without you, and “We Got Married” won’t be as fun without your incredible subs.

There is only one Coolsmurf, and you will be terribly missed. ❤

Coolsmurf’ i just wanna let you know…
i support people like u.
who give’s time…uploading video’s for millions YT viewers..
without ur video..Kpop..wouldn’t known in other countries..
without people like u Artist like connie,charice and etc..
won’t gain their stardom!
I don’t want to compair u with falsevoice..but u shared the same..fate! his account got deleted also.
because of violation of copy right issues….=)
“falsevoice is behind all the video of charice pempengco..in YT without his videos..charice wouldn’t be in starking! ”
my point they should be thankful, for this kind of people who don’t get paid! for their doing..
Goodluck and keep going what u do best coolsmurf! =)

No one must feel as horrible as you do right now because, DAMMIT, you put in a lot of effort in those subbed videos and OMFG, YOU EFFING HELPED PUT CHARICE WHERE SHE IS! And your WGM clips were just win and I feel so bad, but please know I am among the people who really enjoyed your clips (OMG I HOPE U AT LEAST HAVE BACKUPS OF YOUR CLIPS). And just thanks for sharing all of your subbed clips. Man I wanna give you a hug right now. T_T

Just thanks and @_@ *still in schock. see?*
Celest on July 29, 2008 at 11:35 am said:

Coolsmurf, you introduced me to X-Man, WGM and Love Letter and for that I am extremely grateful! X-man was my favorite korean variety and I was so happy that you subbed many parts of it. And thanks to you, I was able to discover WGM. I hope SBS knows what they’re doing. You have spread so much variety love around the world, that without you, I bet those shows won’t be as popular as they are! So thanks for all your hardwork and hopefully we can get you back up!

i feel like i lost a huge part of me. i selfishly wish there was a way for you to come back. there will be no end in my complaints. Thank you for all the hard work you’ve done. You will be terribly missed.
kyuricechoco on July 29, 2008 at 12:13 pm said:

Glad to see you’re back. Are you going to re-post Charice Vids without the subbing?
ChristaLuvsDrama on July 29, 2008 at 12:17 pm said:

Do you know your page being suspended is 50% of the ending of my you tube world! This soo sucks, after I got suspended for the second time I decided to lay on the low and just be a viewer, so I don’t know what to say to encourage you to continue when I don’t have the intentions myself .

Would be interested in other sites if your totally discouraged by you tube?….that’s if you ever decided you wanted to start up again. If you do let us know because we totally love and appreciate what you do for us fans. So thank you soo very much Coolsmurf <(◕‿◕ <) ~~~~~~♥

I’m so sorry to hear about this! I clicked on your page to go find the show “We Got Married,” but it said that your account was suspended…I couldn’t believe it! I was trying to finish watching the episode with the 100th Day Anniversary Wedding Photoshoot, but I guess I’ll have to find it somewhere else…I just want to thank you for taking your time to sub all those shows for non-korean speakers to watch! Even though you don’t have your account there anymore, keep this page going strong because I come here alot for Korean news! Coolsmurf, don’t give up, we love you and we’ll support you!!

You did a really great job ^^
CheekyTraveller on July 29, 2008 at 7:11 pm said:

I couldn’t believe it when I checked my subscriptions and you weren’t there. I thought youtube was going hinky on me again. I was just checking to see if you had gotten any WGM 20 parts subbed (cuz sometimes you’re really fast with it) and…nothing, just empty space. All of your hardwork gone over three videos. It makes no sense. Why couldn’t youtube just remove those three videos? It’s stupid anyway. If it weren’t for people like you who sub the videos for non-Korean speakers many of us would not even have gotten into k-pop in the first place. And what happens when we get into k-pop? We buy k-pop stuff. Really, Korea should thank you for generating revenue for them. If I hadn’t gotten into k-pop I wouldn’t have taken three holidays to Seoul and I wouldn’t be moving there at the end of August. Keep your head up. There are a lot of folks who support you.

P.S. I also want to say I felt honored when you subbed that old episode of X-man with HyunBo’s Daehyunaejae (sp?) and mentioned my name in the sidebar. It was cool, to me, anyway. Thanks.

badstar on July 29, 2008 at 9:31 pm said:

Alvin!

I don’t know if you still remember me, but I surely remember you^^
You were the first one who sent me a message when I had my 2nd account suspended, you were the first one who welcomed me back to youtube again and you also help spread the news about my new account. (Well, that account’s long gone as well)
I just heard the news, I’m still in a state of shock right now.
I cant believe how all of us old uploaders have already had our own share of suspensions. It’s sad to know that you are retiring from it, because if ever you come back, I will be among the first ones who will welcome you again just like what you did to me^^
I hope you wouldn’t give up, I didn’t ^_^. After all the suspensions that I have had, I’m still in youtube, fighting!!
Everything will be well dude! Cheer up!
If you need any help or anything at all, I’d be willing to help you out.

i’ll really miss all those videos, and im glad you could bring so much entertainment to us.
im glad to be part of one of your videos 🙂
badstar on July 29, 2008 at 9:54 pm said:

Okay, I just found out about your 2nd account. I’m supposed to send this to you thru YT but you had friend lock.
Anyhooo,
WELCOME BACK!!!!
I’m glad you decided to come back in youtube. That’s the spirit! don’t let Youtube ruin you!! Don’t give up!

LOL, after so many suspensions, I’ve been used to it already and I still go back here no matter what. This is where I started and I owe it all to all the youtube users. If not for them, I wouldn’t be able to create a successful subbing team.
As for you, think of how many people need your subs, think of how much you have helped a lot of people through the past years, think of how much you have made everyone smile. Just the thought of it will make you work hard even more, it will make you fight even more! Don’t give up on youtube… Many people need you.

I hope everything will be well from now on.

P.S. I suggest you create another back-up account. You know that after 3 suspended videos, you’re automatically suspended already right? So just to be safe, create a back-up account already^^

Good luck!^^

SBS is stupid. They don’t know what they’re doing! Coolsmurf’s channel clearly makes Star King show becomes more popular througout the world. SBS should thank him instead of complain!!

Damn it! I feel like I’m losing something.

btw, will you still upload the next We Got Married episodes then, coolsmurf?

all my subbed vids, DBSK, Virgin Snow, Yuuki…wah…I want to cry…lols…but seriously I do…it was so hard translating and subbing and get everything keep going and in an instant you would lose all of it…
not to offend you, but I was kind of relieve when I wasn’t the only one…I’m not saying I’m happy but I wasn’t alone…even gomdorii lost her channel…
anyway, fighting!

mutsumutsu on July 30, 2008 at 3:44 am said:

oh my!!!
what are the reasons they do this for?
i just don’t understand
it’s like
this korean entertainment company is ruining himself by this

Dear Coolsmurf, do you know that they just delete every channel that have thier shows on ; your channel , gomdorii’s, COFsubbing’s and on and on and on!
So it’s like, just people in Korea at the specific time can watch the show?

Dear Coolsmurf, do you think that’s nonsense?
Did you do the sub for business like they do?
Is the entertainment of the viewers illegal?
Is our dear subbers dedication unlawful?
Or it’s just their greediness to save them for the next business like “selling the show to the cable channel” [that’s what happening here in Thailand, and, to tell you the truth, the subbing here is not impressing]

I feel like crying.
No! i can’t cry.
I now understand the feeling before the Marxist did the revolution.
And i wanna make a different this time.
Can we renovate our own world on the network?

Why do we let the corporation and capitalism ruling us even in our little happy space created between you and your works admirers.

all we can do is just let it pass?
Let they do whatever they want?

You know what?
I wanna help.
if there’s anything, contact me.

The business is exploiting us too much.
They are stealing your works.

It’s unbearable.

After all of your hard work, THANK YOU SO MUCH for letting me know about those shows, you did awesome jobs subbing, uploading, fulfilling people’s requests, etc.

I seriously think you’re the best uploader ever! and I hope you’re making a comeback soon! (cuz nobody will ever replace you!)

This is a very helpful video in understanding what happened to you and how you can counter it. The special problem you had with your youtube account was that three DMCAs were filed against in a row with not enough time to file a counter notice. This video blogger has links up to explain to the Copyright Infringement Notification, how to file a counter notice to a DMCA complaint, and copyright tips.

Dearest,

With all my heart… I feel so sad about your suspension in YT… It’s so unfair… U have done many good things especially when you brought fame to Charice and many others… Your intention is good but the better truth is that there are people who are so authoritative and powerful that they will just do things right then and there because they have the advantages to do it ( Abuse ) without even thinking how it can affect the majority.

We are very upset about your suspension… I hope others will know about this so that they can also protest or send comments to SBS…

I pray that they will be enlightened by God.

Thank you for everything… God Bless You Coolsmurf

But you’ve done a great job.. am sad to hear about your suspension in YT..

I’m a regular visitor of your blog and your YT account.. and this is the first time I’ve commented.. I hope that you will continue your great work.. Don’t let “the man” and Connie Talbot’s management bring you down..

What they probably don’t realise it that your subbed videos make actually gives them free International Publicity and now they’ve screwed themselves over..

Whatever your decision, to continue or not.. (hopefully it is the former) I will embrace wholeheartedly.. because you’ve already done a lot of work for thousands of ppl.. and made them happy.. God Bless.. whatever you decide to do next man.. Rock on..

Hi Alvin.

I’m really sad and bummed that coolsmurf and coolsmurf2 got suspended. You’re the reason I spent so much time on YouTube, especially the Charice videos. Can’t tell you how many days and nights I would watch your vids over and over again.
I hope you’ll come back and keep up the great job that you do. Let us know when and where. I will surely miss you buddy, you bacame an integral part of my daily routine.

Later dude!

Wow, I am surprisingly very angry right now. Youtube is soo lame for doing this. How am I suppose to satisfy my We Got married addiction now? this is ridiculous! Alvin, thanks for all your hard work and dedication for us non-korean speakers. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me the exposure of your culture and i hope you somehow continue doing so. if you start another account or anything please keep us all updated. We will forever be your supporters.

oh. and what’s this petition everyone is talking about? i want to sign it IMMEDIATELY!

Can you argue that all videos are for “educational” use to promote learning korean via english subtitle? would that fall under the Fair Use Exception mentioned in youtomb?

I just wanted to say thank you for taking time to sub those cuts of x-man, star king, and we got married =) without your subs I wouldn’t have been able to watch those shows. I couldn’t believe that you got suspended >______>

ALVIN~~ noooo!!
how do you expect youtube to go on without the username of “coolsmurf”????
I was really shocked and upset at the same time when I read that your account has been suspended!!.. I really hoped you decide to come back because your fans is really uncountable, but whatever you decide to do, i’ll support!
so all the best and good luck!^^

Well, dude, you’re not the only one…

Mirager’s account in YT got suspended just becuase he/she posted the opening sequence of Iljimae (that got SBS International freaked out)…This was what happened…I was gonna search mirager for the OP of “Jang Hee-bin” (keyword: royal story) when out came…nothing…then I proceeded to “Hwang Jin-i” (keyword: hwang jiny) then…nothing…AGAIN!!! DAMMIT!!! He/she was my foundation for my addiction to Hwang Jin-i, then nothing!!! DAMNIT!!!

Then, when I clicked the OP of Hwang Jin-i uploaded by Knov1, it says removed bec. of use of terms violation…then he/she too was suspended!!! DAMMIT!!! He was my source of the opening of Gumiho Oejeon…

I think it was you who uploaded Charice’s performance in Star King, which catapulted her more to fame…

Short is, you’re not alone…Therefore it’s good to be a member that’s not uploading vids…oh well…

Gonna email kjkj927 to be slow as not to be suspended…

Alvin,

Please be strong & don’t give up on us. We all still love you and we really admire & respect your works. I got to know Korean shows & entertainers because of your videos in YT!

Please take heart that lots of people are supporting you.
I was out of town for a while & got so surprised to see my fav shows “We got married” from your channel were no longer available! Bummer… 😦

I’ll sign the petition & also try to send email to the SBS link to show my disappointment. I hope your account in YT could be revived soon.

Alvin..Fighting…!!!!

i was searching for your videos and was deeply saddened when i couldn’t find any. i am a little late to know about what happened to your youtube account. your videos were really entertaining and helpful [because of the subs] while it lasted. i hope you’ll have another place to upload your videos. be happy and keep everyone happy! 🙂

OMG!!! I didn’t know until now. I’m so sorry this happened to you, Coolsmurf! I’m so mad at Youtube. But i’m very appreciated for all your hard works. I had soo much fun watching all the shows you uploaded! Thank you very much!!!
