Despite being a year and four months into their careers, the SECRET members revealed that they still lack cell phones.
With a laugh, they casually stated, “We still don’t have cell phones. At this point, we’ve all forgotten what cell phones are even used for.”
They revealed that of course they still wanted cell phones, especially now that there’s a variety of smartphones with cool applications. Hyosung revealed, “I honestly do really want one, but there’s nothing uncomfortable about not having one. And since all of us equally don’t have one, there aren’t any big problems.”
The reason behind why they aren’t allowed to have cell phones is said to be because of team solidarity. In SECRET’s case, they were born out of a start-up company and had to reach where they are now through pure passion, effort, and team work.
Sunhwa explained, “Even if we fight on our own, we have no choice but to make up on our own as well. These experiences help us to become stronger, so we understand. We don’t even ask to use cell phones.”
Won Geun Young, director of TS Entertainment, also commented on the issue. “Depending on your viewpoint, the rule can seem forceful from the company’s end, but we’re very thankful for the members’ understanding. We’re also proud of them as well. For their two year anniversary, we’re planning to present them with the latest cell phones from the market.”

Hi guys! I've finally joined Omona a few days ago after lurking around here since last summer. I hope I posted this properly.

Date: 2011-02-11 02:40 am (UTC)First the crappy dorm rooms (their new one is not even that better), the diets they have, this cellphone thing, why can't they be more lenient especially when they've been doing so well on music charts?
Compared to how YG treats their idols, TS ent. is the complete opposite.

Date: 2011-02-11 02:56 am (UTC)As for their new dorm: "the apartment is on ground level and there is good lighting exposure. Even though there are only 2 rooms, we had bunk beds in the rooms hence giving us more personal space.”
Still sounds cramped to me. The company is new, but come on, they've been doing so well these days they deserve better. >:

Date: 2011-02-11 02:40 am (UTC)And no cell phones still?!?!
But I need the Secret girls to be on Twitter (I know Zinger's already on Twitter, but I need the rest of the girls!) and post up Twitpics galore a la Beast.
...and with Beast...and to Beast...What? I'm a hardcore Secret/Beast shipper!!!Also, isn't this part of the reason why the Secret girls have a harder time making friends with other celebrities? They can't build those connections and network as well, without having a number to exchange...

Date: 2011-02-11 04:08 am (UTC)Most rookie groups start out with no cellphones anyway. FT Island, SHINee, and others went through it, too, though not for as long as Secret.

Date: 2011-02-11 04:24 am (UTC)anyway i find it reeeally hard to believe that they don't have cell phones. EV ER Y ONE in this country has a cell phone. my 5 year old kindergarten students have cell phones!

Date: 2011-02-11 01:14 pm (UTC)I didn't get a cell phone until college and even then, it was forced on me. I was worried I'd become dependent on it and now I am XD plus, I think it's made me more impatient in the area of things like waiting for rides. plus I felt more free when I was able to sneak around XD
