According to the latest news about 6jib, Kyuhyun’s image is inspired by Hermes and Sungmin’s is inspired by Venus (or Aphrodite in the Greek mythology).
When people think of Aphrodite, they often mention her love story with the god of war Ares. But does anyone here know that Hermes and Aphrodite had a baby and her name was Hermaphrodite? =)) Nowadays, hermaphrodite is used to call people who have both male and female genitalia.
In short, somehow or other, KyuMin are still related =)) Happy fangirl is happy~~~

P.S.: Thanks tobiroth for correcting my mistake ^^
Echo was a beautiful goddess living in the forest. Although she was pretty, she had a bad habit which made the supreme goddess Hera tired of: she talked too much.
Once, when Hera was looking for her fun-loving husband Zeus, Echo kept on following and talking to her. Of course, Hera couldn’t find Zeus because of the disturbance. The angry Hera put a curse on Echo, so that she could only repeat what she heard.
Narcissus had been a strangely good-looking deity since young. Being praised by others, he became arrogant. That one time when Echo went into the forest and saw Narcissus, she fell in love with him at the very first sight. She was fascinated by Narcissus’s handsome look and couldn’t take her eyes off him.
But her love wasn’t requited. When Narcissus realized he was being followed, he asked: “Who’s that?”. Being cursed by Hera, Echo could only repeat Narcissus’s question. Narcissus thought Echo was teasing him and flatly refused her. She ran to the mountains with curses on the bad deity.
As for Narcissus, he kept on walking in the forest until he found a lake as peaceful as a mirror. He knelt down for a gulp of water. How strange, the water made Narcissus fall in love with… his own reflection, just like the way Echo had to repeat his question before.
Narcissus looked at his reflection passionately and just sat there until he died, and metamorphosed into a narcissus.

Well, so all the teasers have been released :D I actually didn’t expect Kyuhyun’s teaser to be THAT beautiful :”( Wow he’s totally hot *Q*
Anyway, since I’m a KyuMin shipper, here is some information that I’ve just collected on Facebook. It’s about the teasers’ inspiration, and it seems that KyuMin are somehow related :)) (according to my fangirl’s head xD).
There are two stories~
- 1st: According to the Greek mythology, Kyuhyun is Narcissus (a hunter from the land of Thespiae & Boeotia, famous for his handsome look) and Sungmin is Echo (a deity). Echo loved Narcissus and confessed her love (yes, Echo was a girl), but Narcissus was very arrogant and he misunderstood her somehow so he didn’t requite her love. ———> A sad love story ;_;
- 2nd: Kyuhyun is Narcissus and Sungmin is Flora (the goddess of flowers). Echo, who had been really angry with Narcissus, put a curse on him. Narcissus then became a kind of flower (called narcissus). And because he was a flower, he was under Flora’s control. Yeah, so they were related @@ ———> This is a more delightful version ^^
Well, I am using my iPad now so uploading and editting pictures is a little difficult :( Just enjoy this, okay? ^^ Looking forward to our 6jib!
