Currently working p/t as an assistant designer for a design firm. I’ll be going full time once I graduate in 2 weeks…. which means I have to get this stupid thesis done and over with. lol. I used to have 2 jobs while studying full time.
I am still a high school student.
This is weird though, no offense. I never thought that that there would be a lot of adults in the fandom. Honestly, I thought most JYJ or K-pop fans were high schoolers.
I just got into the fandom this year.
I am really suprised that I never heard of the K-pop industry before this year. K-pop is huger than I thought it was.
I am new..watched SKKS and curious about Chunnie but only became fan of JYJ when listen “Empty” and feel touch about their lawsuit.. love their brave and their personality…now become fans of JYJ family!!!!!
I’m just curious, lol. I know that some fans have grown old with JYJ but there are also those who got to know them recently, and I kind of want to get an idea of how the fanbase looks like now and whether or not JYJ attracts more students as fans than professionals and vice versa. So far, it seems as if JYJ attracts both students and professionals equally. ^_^
Everyone, thank you for answering my question. ^_^
I think I’m the youngest here…. I just joined this Fan site, maybe a month or 2..I love it here….But I have been listening to JYJ’s songs since they were in DBZK (Japanese & Korean) & also JYJ’s Japanese songs….& Now Korean.
I’m in Elementary school…Hi Everyone !!!
Has this been posted?
Jaejoong’s friend Fukutaro’s tweet on 3.30
“People probably don’t know about this but the background for his (JJ’s)cellphone is still a picture of the 5 members☆゛ I was moved ☆゛”
Sorry if this was already posted somewhere.
Someone tweeted this to me.
“A lot of Homin fans are saying that Jaejoong is wavering because he wrote “JYJ from TVXQ” but I think JJ is the least wavering. He is strong enough to show his love for the two, no matter what ugly things are said about him. I wish the two had the same kind of strength.”
I know about the interview. Sorry for posting something that was already mentioned.
Most people are really quick to cut off people who hurt them. It really takes a lot of strength of character to publicly keep loving in the situation that JJ is/was in. I just want to say that I really admire that about him. I know he has/is moving on but his way of moving on really shows what he is made of.
its not bad to repost; i gets the word out and let those who missed stuff, catch up.
IA; JJ might not be the strongest of JYJ (i think JS is; YC and JJ agree too) but hes the hyung so he still has a lot to deal with; i think he’ll be fine; hes got YC, JS, gun young, elbowyeish, japanese friends, fans, etc. JJ has a lot of support.
also, being the most followed (than YC & JS) should make he aware of being more careful about what he tweets but i think its part of his personality and why he has the most followers
JJ is stronger than the average 25/26 yo guy (takes experience from being in the spotlight for 10 years); worry? yes. but not to huge portions
A lot of HoMin fans are egaging in wishful thinking.
Just goes to show how little they do know about Jaejoong. He is one of the most loyal people. Bonding with JS and YC to take this huge a risk is SERIOUS biz.
ALRIGHT. Another survey-like question! Last time, I asked what your favorite JYJ song was.
Out of all of Junsu’s cats, tell me your favorite one and why.
I personally love Leo because it reminds me so much of Junsu himself haha! (http://yfrog.com/gykdqej:iphone)
Reference pictures are provided in case you’d like to refresh your memory!
Concert talk.
Its funny that even though i’m not going to see them live i feel so involved in all of this.
US fans what are you planning for JYJ?
Thai fans fed them local food, and both chinese and thai fans have fan projects.
I dunno what taiwanese fans have up their sleeves
Isn’t there like an unofficial north american fanclub called aethiopeia? I’m just wondering because organizing special events are going to be difficult considering all the scattered places fans in america go to.
Taiwanese fans have already got a Jaejoong green light project, I wonder what they’re going to do with Junsu and Yoochun.
p.s. I am still crossing my fingers for Toronto.. lol.
There is also the issue that N.A. fans have different expectations of concerts than Asian fans. Hardcore fans that have been with the boys for awhile will get it, but if we are trying to draw in new fans, all this mass organizing will seem very weird. Things like the call-backs (which I personally still find annoying) likely won’t work. (Singing the lyrics is okay.) And if light sticks are handed out for certain songs, don’t be surprised if half of them are lit up from the beginning.
Hmmm, may I share a sentiment. I find it irritating when people use the term AKTF out of context of the actual meaning. And I’m not usually this easily annoyed, but that is actually driving me crazy.
p.s. For the peeps who asked for Chasing Taboo in the previous post. For some reason my two comments with the links didn’t show up so if you’re still interested, I’m trying another attempt.
For the novel version you may go to
www (dot) linzerdinzer (dot) com/chasing-taboo-index/
For the smu tty version, which I suggest you read first to get a grasp on the characters and their names, under the ‘about chasing taboo’ section, there is a heading called the fanfiction. You may download the pdf’s and start reading.
this is about yesterdays allkpop post right
i’ve never facepalmed so much in my life.
but if you ever venture into the dbsk thread on those forums you will notice , from what they share and what they talk about its like taking a time machine back to 2009. -__-
I really really wanted to post something about what the prain c.e.o said on allkpop but i kept my mouth shut.
And thank you so much for chasing taboo
this will be my first fanfic
Oh yeah I’ve been a troll in akp when it comes to JYJ haha. I actually just posted a comment about AKTF and what the CEO prain said. So hopefully someone catches on, though highly unlikely.
Oh gosh, the dbsk thread, even the individual jaechunsuhomin threads. They’re all the same, as if this lawsuit never happened. Ignorance is bliss~
I had the same mindset last year – that ignorance was bliss.
It isn’t, believe me. Reality hurts, but at least it’s one step to moving forward. I don’t want fans to be stuck in the past because it’s like they can’t accept the members as they are right now, and that’s just unfair to the five of them – to be living in the shadow of the greatness of DBSK5 and some fans never recognizing and acknowledging their worth individually and as separate entities at the present.
Wait, I just realized you didn’t mean that literally, lol. Anyway, for me, it’s keeping the faith in JYJ – that they’ll stand strong and continue on despite everything.
They are using it wrong. They still believe aktf means they will see jyj back with homin again. And as JUNO said, it means to stick by his principles and beliefs. And you wonder why so many refuse to believe so -__-
AKTF means something different to different people. A lot of “OT5” fans who use the term AKTF, believing that the 5 will be back together once again- I don’t want to call them OT5 Cassies. I would call myself an OT5 fan, but what does AKTF mean to me? To SUPPORT both sides with as much as I can, not believing that they’ll be together one day, but hoping that one day, all five of them will finally be happy, no matter what road they take. No more tears or pain. Of course, the 5 being back together would be amazing and miraculous, but if they’re suffering and aren’t living life in a positive way, I don’t want them to be together. Furthermore, thinking about it logically, do you think it could happen any time soon? It took H.O.T. 10 years to reunite. Because of TVXQ’s popularity, the situation becomes more complicated, and therefore, we must wait longer.
I may have a different opinion about AKTF from everyone else. I think both JJ and Yoochun means for fans to always keep the faith on them. Not abandoning them, always supporting them. I’m more convinced after reading fan account of white day fanmeeting. Didnt they pick the one who said she will always trust/believe/wait(?) on JYJ no matter what? Even A boy’s letter lyrics gives me that impression.. well thats just me anyway
@nichi
My interpretation is the same as yours — to have faith in the boys. That they will always do their best for their fans. That they won’t give us on us, please don’t give up on them.
I’ll believe it should apply to the five, when I hear all five using it. For now, it’s really just a phrase that Jaejoong and Yoochun have adopted for themselves. (I don’t think I’ve heard Junsu use it, either.)
The wonderful thing about the phrase is that it is so very, very vague. 😀 It is open to so many interpretations. Saying it should be used only in a certain instances is dogmatic and, considering the forum, insulting.
@ doublejaedee AKTF mean already said by JJ but someppl just don’t get it or keep holding on to something they want to believe, and the most hilarious if they try to shove it to someone else mouth.
and Thank you for the link. i already DL the PDF, and will start reading after i got home XD
@JUNO goodluck on your exam. and i also want to do the same like you on AKP but someone said to me when trolling in AKP better “to keep calms all the times” XD
LOL, enjoy the fanfic. Hopefully it won’t be too hardcore for you ;P The original story might actually be a bit overwhelming in the beginning, but you’ll enjoy the novel a lot better after. 🙂
honestly, i stopped wearing my AKTF bracelet before 2010 ended; i’ve accepted the fact that jyj are separated from homin
what i just dont understand is how homin want to take tvxq as their own; they’ll at most be tvxq2 for me
back in 2009, jaechun debut as a duo called ‘jaejung & yuchun from tohoshinki’ YET homin couldnt come back as ‘Yunho & Changmin from TVXQ’
im not bashing, just making an observation
its hard to think 5 members when i heard tvxq now; i dont want to associate tvxq as 2 members
i also start supporting JYJ since the 2 reclaim TVXQ name and read the comments in “P” blog just make me keep away from homin sides. But the one who opened my eyes about the law suits its JYJFILES XD
yup yup coz reading her articles and the comments in there. Its so nice to know a lot of intelligent ppl in JYJ fandom. So sad Jimmie can’t be active in JYJFILES but i believe she will keep in touch XD
oh my lunchbreak is over, see you guys around tonight 😀
tru tru; i was sad to read the 1st(of3) part of her “resignation”
im taking it as an indefinite hiatus
i look forward to reading future posts she’ll make
@amy
read letest post from dctvxqgall.wordpress.com
“In the light of recent change of events, DC TVXQ Gallery’s ATM(Anti-Rumor Tactics and Monitory Divisions)’s wordpress blog will be closing on May 1, 2011 (KST, Korean standard Time).”
their twitter (DCtvxq_gall) won’t active too..
sorry if you found wy words confusing, my english isn’t really good.. T~T
@dhy he can keep messing around but better if we keep promote JYJFILES, cause everyone who already read P blog that read JYJFiles will know the real “THE TRUTH ABOUT TVXQ” XD
TVXQ is a brand. It’s easier to make a comeback with an already well-known brand than start from scratch.
But a brand with only two of the five who made it a success is still different. The brand can only go so far; the ones who insist on still using the brand must do their parts to at least retain the quality of that brand or at most surpass said quality.
TVXQ is a legendary name in KPOP
but for Homin it might eventually be a liability
Every time they gain a new fan, that new fan will type in tvxq in youtube and one of the first videos to pop up will be mirotic/ Doushite/ wrong number/ love in the ice
They will never be able to stop the comparisons (because lets face it they’re asking for it by retaining the name tvxq) and will have to deal with the fact they can never reproduce what tvxq was famous for; their harmonies and jaw dropping vocals.
Also in Japan it is so sad to see THSK being characterized as a “hallyu” artist. What happened to all those years of work building themselves up as Jpop artists?
THSK isnt supposed to RIDE the hallyu wave its supposed to CREATE it and a japanese translation of an SM song just does not cut it.
they wouldnt technically be starting from scratch
i just feel like they[homin] kinda pushed aside (abandon is a wrongful, two-way word) their brothers[jyj]
tvxq has transcend a brand; they are much more than that and if sm fails to see from their narrow greedy POV, than it’ll come back to bite/hurt them later; it’ll happen…
i feel that homin coming back as tvxq has hindered them;
here jyj are growing and prospering with their talents–musical, drama, directing–yet homin are trapped, confided and restricted & limited by the name ‘tvxq’ they are carrying [dramas and musical didnt do as well as compared to jj, yc, js]
tvxq isnt a bad thing to carry but its heavy and 2 is less than half of 5 so i think they took on too much to try and conquer
^^ i thought mirotic vid was taken down and reuploaded and thats why the view count is low
It doesnt matter to me actually they can be as successful as they wont as long as JYJ has a fair shot
Yah. I heard from several fans that Mirotic used to have 30+ mil views before taken down back in Nov 2009. NGL, I was kinda bitter that SNSD’s Gee took most views on Youtube for K-idols when Mirotic could have easily surpassed them.
Whatever. I never go on SM’s youtube that way I don’t add counts. Honestly not gonna give them free money/views/publicity.
Yeah and going back to what Aki said, to which I agree, everyday it is becoming painfully obvious which of the 5 held the true essence of the old TVXQ, the ones who lent weight to that brand.
Please keep in mind, everything associated with TVXQ2 is coordinated by SME. Their goal is to try and ‘erase’ JYJ from TVXQ. They know they can’t legally detach them from the name/group.
What their actions are doing is bringing about – UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. Ultimately, they are going to tarnish YH and CM because they really don’t value them as people, they are simply props to SME. If they did value HoMin, they would not have put them in an unenviable position as this.
Lady Karma’s list of SME wrongdoings is growing day by day.
Last night I was listening to one blog’s mp3 player which alternates JYJ and Homin songs. It occurred tome that neither of them sounded anything like DBSK/TVXQ used to. Most especially Homin sounded so different. Listening to that I felt that it was really a liability to be called TVXQ because they have to try to be someone they are not. JYJ is clearly free to create themselves to be something new, which they are doing with each new song and performance. They are becoming more and more true to who they really are as artists.
If SME had decided to debut Homin as something else, we might be free of the battle of who is on TV and who is better than the other. Now they have to forcefully try to push JYJ out to prop up this false TVXQ duo. It was a bad decision.
OMG!! Powerhouselive just emailed me and said that theres going to be a major announcement on the 13th!! <3<3 *Squeal* Hope we get the dates and venues in this announcement!!
Been waiting for what seems like forever and now the announcement at 6 pm feels like it’ll never come! Last time I felt like this was when the tickets for the LA showcase went on sale.
I had awesome seats then and I hope I do again! *fingers crossed*
Yes please vote for JYJ! I’m voting in three windows now, another two for Junsu and Yoochun.. cos there’s a few sec of loading time after I vote so I’d use this time to vote consecutively.
i’m quite out of fandom due to my travel. so is there any kind soul here that will update me about sale volume of JYJ’s releases for The…, The Beginning, Music Essay and concert DVDs? Also, if anybody knows estimate (or exact) sale volumes of TVXQ2’s Why?
i’ve got mail from cdjapan saying that Why will be released officially in japan. but i thought it’s already released (and rank oricon or something)? sorry, just confusing here and thanks for your help.
I wonder why Music Essay isn’t on ITUNES yet? I know where to buy the CD but I also want to download it too. So, does anyone know why C-Jes hasn’t released it for download yet??? The Beginning is there.
Music Essay was at iTunes but not legally. I bought it and found out later from the CJes website that Music Essay was sold at iTunes without official distribution from CJes.
I’m not sure why iTunes would sell it illegally but Music Essay has been removed; anyway I just sent for the actual CD and that way I know my money is going to the actual artists.
I’m excited that miss A suzy went there too! Chunnie said he like miss A rite? and suzy is just the cutest girl, and I’m a say A myself ^^ tho it will be weird, since suzy is a minor o.O
My I ask u guys who u would want Jaejoong and Yoochun to be paired up with in a drama/movie? and Junsu to have a duet with? *since I hardly know any musical actress, so baby junchan got the singing category*
For JJ I still picked Han Hyo Jo, because I adore their chemistry..and maybe song ji hyo.. For the japanese actress I’d like to see him with erika toda or keiko kitagawa.. It’d be weird with Pi tho
Chunnie I’m still waiting for him to have a project with Moon Geun Young ^^
Junchan hmm.. if its a guy park hyo sin, and if its a girl either lynn, baek ji young or gummy
Did you guys know that there is ANOTHER girl group thats debuting this year? Their called Blady. The only thing I want to say is…… WTF IS HAPPENING TO KPOP!?!
Yay! First! I keep missing all the fun because of work T.T Have a good time chatting family!
I should really go to bed now…
Oh wow, it suddenly changed haha.
Yayyy, hiiiii..
I have no idea what to say, I just wanted to comment XD
you’re so cute. lol
lol aw thanks? XD
I just thought I’d post this cause I’ve been replaying it like all day.
Are you replaying it because of Joongie or the song?? ;p
¿Maybe both?
The photo came at a right time, I’m in need of some JYJ…
It’s not a JYJ-related question but more real-life related: what’s your day job aside from fangirling JYJ?
Me, I’m still a full-time student. ^_^
I work in the president’s office of community college as an office associate. But I fangirl at work in my head. 🙂 *dancing to Empty at my desk*
Goodnight everyone (for me) or good morning, afternoon, or evening depending on where you are. Have a great day!
im working as as assistant manager Supply Chain in Shoes Factory,i use my lunch hour to peep this site now, Hope my boss don’t see me now XD
I am a full time student too 🙂
full time student university student. I feel so grown up…. High school is over, YES!!!!!!! *happy dance*
I’m a college student as well.

Good luck~
Good luck. ^_^

GL for your exams! I have some too and i’m a full-time uni student in my freshman year ^^
Little sis good luck, but I know you don’t really need it! 😀
good luck!!
right now i tried to finish my study in college to get master (magister)’s degree
I am a Software developer in a big IT firm 😀
Currently working p/t as an assistant designer for a design firm. I’ll be going full time once I graduate in 2 weeks…. which means I have to get this stupid thesis done and over with. lol. I used to have 2 jobs while studying full time.
i’m a full time college student ^^
Full time student too 😀 but currently looking for a job too. Then I REALLY won’t have anytime for fangirling.
first year college student, college is soo scary lol and i work a part time waitress job ^__^
Like most of the replies, I am also a college student, working on my B.S. degree.
What’s a B.S degree? *curious*
Nvm i think i found it! Bachelor of Science right? Sry for the unnecessary question lol
I’m in marketing and pr 🙂
I am still a high school student.
This is weird though, no offense. I never thought that that there would be a lot of adults in the fandom. Honestly, I thought most JYJ or K-pop fans were high schoolers.
This is a veteran fandom
i’m relatively new (like you) but a lot of ppl have been around seven years.
I just got into the fandom this year.
I am really suprised that I never heard of the K-pop industry before this year. K-pop is huger than I thought it was.
Hi Jessica yeah! Over here are fangirls of all ages and, judging from the question of Aki, all professions 🙂
I posted a video of JYJ on youtube last year and when I check the statistics about who watched it, 20% were over 50 years old.
I am an accountant.
I am new..watched SKKS and curious about Chunnie but only became fan of JYJ when listen “Empty” and feel touch about their lawsuit.. love their brave and their personality…now become fans of JYJ family!!!!!
Im a tutor in a university and part time master student in Forensic Chem.
This is a good question Aki, are you profiling the breadth of JYJ i-fans here hehe 🙂
I am an editor and I work on academic manuscripts from Asian researchers (Taiwan, China, Korea, Malaysia, Japan, etc.)
I’m just curious, lol. I know that some fans have grown old with JYJ but there are also those who got to know them recently, and I kind of want to get an idea of how the fanbase looks like now and whether or not JYJ attracts more students as fans than professionals and vice versa. So far, it seems as if JYJ attracts both students and professionals equally. ^_^
Everyone, thank you for answering my question. ^_^

What does AKTF really mean?
My Tumblr is filled with OT5 fans constantly using it and sometimes I think they’re using it wrong but meh.
AKTF – Always Keep the Faith
Wait, I just realized you didn’t mean that literally, lol. Anyway, for me, it’s keeping the faith in JYJ – that they’ll stand strong and continue on despite everything.
They are using it wrong. They still believe aktf means they will see jyj back with homin again. And as JUNO said, it means to stick by his principles and beliefs. And you wonder why so many refuse to believe so -__-
AKTF means something different to different people. A lot of “OT5” fans who use the term AKTF, believing that the 5 will be back together once again- I don’t want to call them OT5 Cassies. I would call myself an OT5 fan, but what does AKTF mean to me? To SUPPORT both sides with as much as I can, not believing that they’ll be together one day, but hoping that one day, all five of them will finally be happy, no matter what road they take. No more tears or pain. Of course, the 5 being back together would be amazing and miraculous, but if they’re suffering and aren’t living life in a positive way, I don’t want them to be together. Furthermore, thinking about it logically, do you think it could happen any time soon? It took H.O.T. 10 years to reunite. Because of TVXQ’s popularity, the situation becomes more complicated, and therefore, we must wait longer.
I agree with what everyone else is saying and see it as always believing in and having faith in the boys.
I may have a different opinion about AKTF from everyone else. I think both JJ and Yoochun means for fans to always keep the faith on them. Not abandoning them, always supporting them. I’m more convinced after reading fan account of white day fanmeeting. Didnt they pick the one who said she will always trust/believe/wait(?) on JYJ no matter what? Even A boy’s letter lyrics gives me that impression.. well thats just me anyway
@nichi
My interpretation is the same as yours — to have faith in the boys. That they will always do their best for their fans. That they won’t give us on us, please don’t give up on them.
I agree with you nichie, but I just want to stress the fact that AKTF should be used for all 5, not only JYJ.
@ Xiao Mei
I’ll believe it should apply to the five, when I hear all five using it. For now, it’s really just a phrase that Jaejoong and Yoochun have adopted for themselves. (I don’t think I’ve heard Junsu use it, either.)
The wonderful thing about the phrase is that it is so very, very vague. 😀 It is open to so many interpretations. Saying it should be used only in a certain instances is dogmatic and, considering the forum, insulting.
100% agree with @nichie!!!
“AKTF” means Jae’s faith to always stand by his philosophies and principles
it does not mean 5/4eva
@ doublejaedee AKTF mean already said by JJ but someppl just don’t get it or keep holding on to something they want to believe, and the most hilarious if they try to shove it to someone else mouth.
and Thank you for the link. i already DL the PDF, and will start reading after i got home XD
@JUNO goodluck on your exam. and i also want to do the same like you on AKP but someone said to me when trolling in AKP better “to keep calms all the times” XD
LOL, enjoy the fanfic. Hopefully it won’t be too hardcore for you ;P The original story might actually be a bit overwhelming in the beginning, but you’ll enjoy the novel a lot better after. 🙂
ssshhh!! im a fans of NC fics actually LoL
@doublejaedee ‘JaelolliPOP’ : thank u so much !
honestly, i stopped wearing my AKTF bracelet before 2010 ended; i’ve accepted the fact that jyj are separated from homin
what i just dont understand is how homin want to take tvxq as their own; they’ll at most be tvxq2 for me
back in 2009, jaechun debut as a duo called ‘jaejung & yuchun from tohoshinki’ YET homin couldnt come back as ‘Yunho & Changmin from TVXQ’
im not bashing, just making an observation
its hard to think 5 members when i heard tvxq now; i dont want to associate tvxq as 2 members
That name is worth 50 billion won
I dont know if i could be so selfless to let it go without a fight
Our boys are amazing
i also start supporting JYJ since the 2 reclaim TVXQ name and read the comments in “P” blog just make me keep away from homin sides. But the one who opened my eyes about the law suits its JYJFILES XD
because of the amazing Jimmies? ^^
IKR theJYJfiles had really good, detailed, descriptive (*insert adjectives) translation and accounts!!
yup yup coz reading her articles and the comments in there. Its so nice to know a lot of intelligent ppl in JYJ fandom. So sad Jimmie can’t be active in JYJFILES but i believe she will keep in touch XD
oh my lunchbreak is over, see you guys around tonight 😀
tru tru; i was sad to read the 1st(of3) part of her “resignation”
im taking it as an indefinite hiatus
i look forward to reading future posts she’ll make
hmmm.. jimmie resigned from JYJfiles, and DCTVXQgall ATM @twitter & wordpress will be shutdown in near time..
now i wonder when will a certain someone with P as his initial name retired from messing up with our boys?? :sigh:
whats this P im hearing about?
i dont completely get what you wrote by “DCTVXQgall ATM @twitter & wordpress will be shutdown in near time”
@amy
read letest post from dctvxqgall.wordpress.com
“In the light of recent change of events, DC TVXQ Gallery’s ATM(Anti-Rumor Tactics and Monitory Divisions)’s wordpress blog will be closing on May 1, 2011 (KST, Korean standard Time).”
their twitter (DCtvxq_gall) won’t active too..
sorry if you found wy words confusing, my english isn’t really good.. T~T
@dhy he can keep messing around but better if we keep promote JYJFILES, cause everyone who already read P blog that read JYJFiles will know the real “THE TRUTH ABOUT TVXQ” XD
TVXQ is a brand. It’s easier to make a comeback with an already well-known brand than start from scratch.
But a brand with only two of the five who made it a success is still different. The brand can only go so far; the ones who insist on still using the brand must do their parts to at least retain the quality of that brand or at most surpass said quality.
TVXQ is a legendary name in KPOP
but for Homin it might eventually be a liability
Every time they gain a new fan, that new fan will type in tvxq in youtube and one of the first videos to pop up will be mirotic/ Doushite/ wrong number/ love in the ice
They will never be able to stop the comparisons (because lets face it they’re asking for it by retaining the name tvxq) and will have to deal with the fact they can never reproduce what tvxq was famous for; their harmonies and jaw dropping vocals.
Also in Japan it is so sad to see THSK being characterized as a “hallyu” artist. What happened to all those years of work building themselves up as Jpop artists?
THSK isnt supposed to RIDE the hallyu wave its supposed to CREATE it and a japanese translation of an SM song just does not cut it.
they wouldnt technically be starting from scratch
i just feel like they[homin] kinda pushed aside (abandon is a wrongful, two-way word) their brothers[jyj]
tvxq has transcend a brand; they are much more than that and if sm fails to see from their narrow greedy POV, than it’ll come back to bite/hurt them later; it’ll happen…
i feel that homin coming back as tvxq has hindered them;
here jyj are growing and prospering with their talents–musical, drama, directing–yet homin are trapped, confided and restricted & limited by the name ‘tvxq’ they are carrying [dramas and musical didnt do as well as compared to jj, yc, js]
tvxq isnt a bad thing to carry but its heavy and 2 is less than half of 5 so i think they took on too much to try and conquer
blah blah *rant on
Shame hoW KYHD is beginning to suppress Mirotic in View count! Its already 4mil! 😦
^^ i thought mirotic vid was taken down and reuploaded and thats why the view count is low
It doesnt matter to me actually they can be as successful as they wont as long as JYJ has a fair shot
Yah. I heard from several fans that Mirotic used to have 30+ mil views before taken down back in Nov 2009. NGL, I was kinda bitter that SNSD’s Gee took most views on Youtube for K-idols when Mirotic could have easily surpassed them.
Whatever. I never go on SM’s youtube that way I don’t add counts. Honestly not gonna give them free money/views/publicity.
The count does not matter.
We all know which is better. ^_*
And I agree that HM coming back as 2vxq isn’t exactly the brightest thing to do..
TVXQ are legends… so let’s leave it as that..
Yeah and going back to what Aki said, to which I agree, everyday it is becoming painfully obvious which of the 5 held the true essence of the old TVXQ, the ones who lent weight to that brand.
Please keep in mind, everything associated with TVXQ2 is coordinated by SME. Their goal is to try and ‘erase’ JYJ from TVXQ. They know they can’t legally detach them from the name/group.
What their actions are doing is bringing about – UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. Ultimately, they are going to tarnish YH and CM because they really don’t value them as people, they are simply props to SME. If they did value HoMin, they would not have put them in an unenviable position as this.
Lady Karma’s list of SME wrongdoings is growing day by day.
Last night I was listening to one blog’s mp3 player which alternates JYJ and Homin songs. It occurred tome that neither of them sounded anything like DBSK/TVXQ used to. Most especially Homin sounded so different. Listening to that I felt that it was really a liability to be called TVXQ because they have to try to be someone they are not. JYJ is clearly free to create themselves to be something new, which they are doing with each new song and performance. They are becoming more and more true to who they really are as artists.
If SME had decided to debut Homin as something else, we might be free of the battle of who is on TV and who is better than the other. Now they have to forcefully try to push JYJ out to prop up this false TVXQ duo. It was a bad decision.
OMG!! Powerhouselive just emailed me and said that theres going to be a major announcement on the 13th!! <3<3 *Squeal* Hope we get the dates and venues in this announcement!!
*HUGS* good luck
*Squeezes* Thank you!!~ I should be sleeping since its like 3am over here but I’m too excited lol xD
Been waiting for what seems like forever and now the announcement at 6 pm feels like it’ll never come! Last time I felt like this was when the tickets for the LA showcase went on sale.
I had awesome seats then and I hope I do again! *fingers crossed*

i’m quite out of fandom due to my travel. so is there any kind soul here that will update me about sale volume of JYJ’s releases for The…, The Beginning, Music Essay and concert DVDs? Also, if anybody knows estimate (or exact) sale volumes of TVXQ2’s Why?
i’ve got mail from cdjapan saying that Why will be released officially in japan. but i thought it’s already released (and rank oricon or something)? sorry, just confusing here and thanks for your help.
i’m sure the beginning sold more than KYHD because they only just broke the 100 000 mark
The beginning must be 300 000 ish
i dunno the exact figures
You can DL any JYJ´s related vids here
http://kokayz.livejournal.com/
Haha…the picture above JYJ have the same expression. SO CUTE!!! AWW~
about the voting.. do we need to sign up?
no need to sign up. And and vote as many times as u want ^^
I wonder why Music Essay isn’t on ITUNES yet? I know where to buy the CD but I also want to download it too. So, does anyone know why C-Jes hasn’t released it for download yet??? The Beginning is there.
Music Essay was at iTunes but not legally. I bought it and found out later from the CJes website that Music Essay was sold at iTunes without official distribution from CJes.
I’m not sure why iTunes would sell it illegally but Music Essay has been removed; anyway I just sent for the actual CD and that way I know my money is going to the actual artists.
And I thought when I bought Music Essay something was wrong because the sound quality wasn’t as good as when I bought The Beginning on iTunes.

I’m excited that miss A suzy went there too! Chunnie said he like miss A rite? and suzy is just the cutest girl, and I’m a say A myself ^^ tho it will be weird, since suzy is a minor o.O
My I ask u guys who u would want Jaejoong and Yoochun to be paired up with in a drama/movie? and Junsu to have a duet with? *since I hardly know any musical actress, so baby junchan got the singing category*
For JJ I still picked Han Hyo Jo, because I adore their chemistry..and maybe song ji hyo.. For the japanese actress I’d like to see him with erika toda or keiko kitagawa.. It’d be weird with Pi tho
Chunnie I’m still waiting for him to have a project with Moon Geun Young ^^
Junchan hmm.. if its a guy park hyo sin, and if its a girl either lynn, baek ji young or gummy
Jaejoong- han hyo joo
Chun – yoon eun hye/ MGY
Junsu- Davichi (lee haeri)
Jaejoong – Han Hyo Ju too… or Aya Ueto
Yoochun – Kim Tae Hee 😉 Yoochun would like it too XD
Junsu – dunno ><
jaejoong – han hyo jo and for japan i think i really want to see horikita maki
yoochun- yoon eun hye
junsu – i don’t know
