We’ve ALL come together (all fandoms, all K-Pop and J-Pop lovers) to figure out a way on how we can help support the disaster victims of Haiti. There are many ideas circulating, some amazing ideas that I know are going to be successful and heartwarming. I know for sure that the wonderful ladies at @AsianPopAddict have a lot of light bulbs flickering above their heads and I can’t wait to tell you all once everything is finalized!
For now, though, @projecthottest, @twelfs, and yours truly have banded together to start up a donation fund in which ALL proceeds will go to the Haitian people. KPOP Helps Haiti is something we need all fandoms to participate in, all fans to donate anything that they possibly can. Whether it be a small amount or a large one, whatever you can do to help will help the Haitian people tremendously.
We have set up a PayPal account (link at the end of this post), and we encourage you to give what you can. If you are unable to donate anything personally, try to encourage those around you to donate. That is also doing your part in helping our fellow human beings who are in dire need of help at this time. I don’t know how long we’re going to keep this open for, or how much we plan on raising. At this point in time I will just be thankful for any amount raised.
You do have to be a registered PayPal user to be able to donate using the link at the bottom of the post. If you do not feel comfortable registering with PayPal, then we will be accepting “snail mail” donations. I will be setting up a P.O. Box within the next few days, so if you are interested in that, email us and please include in the subject line “Snail Mail Donation.” As soon as I get the P.O. Box set-up, I will email you back with the address, as well as post it on here. I will document every piece of mail that comes in, how much you donated, who donated, when it was sent, and when I received it. If you want “proof” that you received it, then be sure to include enough postage for me to send you an invoice/statement saying that we did receive it.
We’re devising a list of organizations we’re going to donate this to, but we’re leaving it all up to you to decide. Should it all go to one charity, like the American Red Cross? Or should it be divided amongst multiple charities? We’re sticking to the big, reputable organizations to avoid all the shady people out there who would use a time like this to scam kind-hearted people. Let us know (in the comment section or through email which charities you think and suggest we donate it to. If you do email, please place in the subject line “Charity Suggestion”).
I will continue to annoy the daylights out of you all and urge you to do what you can to help. And you know, I’ll also continue to keep you updated with everything that’s going on!
We have created a Twitter account, @Kpop4Haiti, which we highly, highly, highly suggest you follow as that will be the easiest way to get ALL the information firsthand!
I’m not going to do the P.O. Box, but I do have an address for you to send your cash or money orders to that will be easier for me to keep track of. ALL instructions (and address) are included on the donation form, which you will have to receive by EMAILING me.
In the subject line, simply type, “Donation Form Request.” I will get back to you within twenty-four hours with a PDF file attached to the email. I would upload it onto here, but it won’t let me so we’ll just do it this way.
Please, please, please fill out this form in its entirety. I like keeping records. I am very, very detailed when it comes to things like this (you have to be) so please fill out all the fields. Generally, I am asking for your name, your address (I won’t stalk you), your email address, your Twitter account, how much you’re donating, what the USD currency of that is (obviously for those outside of the States), if you prefer any specific organization we will donate all of it to, and your signature and the date.
There are instructions if you are sending concealed cash. If you wish to send a personal check, please tell me in the email that you’ll send requesting the form that you wish to do that, so we can come to an understanding on why I am very hesitant on that. Also, if you want “proof” that I received your donation, there’s specific instructions on how you can receive that.
It’s all VERY easy and will take less than three minutes to fill out. Make sure you are able to open Adobe PDF files, as well.
So, EMAIL me right now and I will be replying back with the attached donation form!

Why I love Super Junior? I wasn’t into K-Pop when Super Junior debuted, I started noticing them only after they released Sorry Sorry (in my opinion, THE song that shot them to superstardom and got them where they are right now). My first impression of them was “Why so many members?” and “What’s with the haircut?” While watching EHB, it was then when I realized that these boys began to grow on me. They have a nonchalant approach to fame and they don’t take themselves too seriously, that’s a quality I rarely find in other K-Pop groups. I realize in Korean entertainment world, idol images are shaped and they have to maintain that, but every so often, with SJ members, their real personalities appear in interviews, variety shows, radio broadcasts and especially Super Show. They way they interact with each other make me feel like I’m watching the boys-next-door, approachable, funny, dorky and humble. I guess that imperfection shows that they are real and relatable.
Why I love TwELFs and SPL? When I first started collecting information about Super Junior, I stumbled upon several fanbases, but TwELFs stood out to my attention immediately for several reasons: quality content, good English, pleasing to the eyes & easy to navigate.Like any other new converts, I joined in the fandom bandwagon and participated with gusto especially on Trending Topic projects. I was surprised to know that TwELFs founders were still in college, because they ran a tight ship with the blog and Twitter account. I was even more pleasantly surprised when I communicated via Twitter with the founders, because they were so friendly and unpretentious.
TwELFs blog has meaty content without sacrificing entertainment value. It is informational without sounding too serious and at the same time, provides all the fun tidbits for fans –newly minted or veteran.
SPL is oozing with creativity (e.g. forum members referred to as Students and Super Junior members as Professors!) and over a short period of time has gained the reputation of being one of the most acclaimed international forums for ELFs. SPL keeps making changes for the better and continues to carry out credible projects for Super Junior and ELFs. SPL is a labor of love, and I salute the people behind it, who are such dedicated hard-workers.
