What do the stars indicate? And lol at chunface being underrated because of su specifically
the thing i don’t get is why jj’s underated cause of his good looks T_T after all he got 2nd place for best voice right after junsu ^^…it doesn’t make any sense :p
They mean to say that people look at Jae and write him off as a pretty boy instead of acknowledging his talents. Unfortunately it is true. Many people think Jae was in TVXQ because he is good looking not because he is talented and in fact he has the biggest number of antis.
@MIA2
” Many people think Jae was in TVXQ because he is good looking not because he is talented and in fact he has the biggest number of antis.”
What a preposterous notion… Don’t those people have EARS?? Jaejoong is so talented, in so many areas of the arts, it’s scary.
And the also biggest number of fans.
I’m actually an anti turned fan ^0^
Why is SuSu no there???
Because everyone knows he’s a musical genius already? LOL I dunno. Jun-chan is too well known for his voice methinks. 😉
@jyj4ever501
Maybe because no one would ever dream of “under-rating” him?
Jaechun ~ ! ^^ But, no Junsu u_u
“2. JYJ Yoochun
because of Xiah Junsu he is underrated.”
THIS! Pffftt~!!!! ahahahahahahahah
Jaejoong… he should always be in magazines… front cover, middle spread… all pages… >//////<
Hahaha. Yoochun is underrated bcoz of junsu. This is. Ahhhhh. But I like this sentence. 🙂
My JYJ and my WG!!! <333
But wth is with underrated because of xiah junsu?
maybe they were saying that Yoochun is a good singer and dancer.. but since he is in the same group as Xiah.. he is being most of the times overlooked because we all know Junsu is a powerful singer and dancer.. even I’m a Chunsa.. hands down Junsu’s singing and dancing is better..
Survey’s on singing skill will always have Junsu on the list but seldom you’ll see Yoochun or Jaejoong.. but all of us know that the two has an amazing voices that is superior than let say 90% of the idols out there. Soulmates are underrated i really believe.. but I love that when they sing as 3.. even Junsu has a powerful voice.. he harmonize well and blends with the two so no one outshines the other.. it is as if they become on equal level singing wise.. that’s my opinion.. kekekekek
As always Jen your opinion makes sense 🙂 Agreeing 100%
@jenknight18, True. JYJ boys’ voices mix and harmonize perfectly, and they have amazingly gifted voices. I second your words, dear.
Don’t agree with you abt…
‘but I love that when they sing as 3.. even Junsu has a powerful voice.. he harmonize well and blends with the two so no one outshines the other.. it is as if they become on equal level singing wise’
so far what I see is Junsu not really can control his powerful voice…he tend to made his voice much louder than the other two kind of made them looks like his backing vocal one…..for harmonizing thing definitely JJ is the best…but this thing too made people think JJ’s voice not powerful…how come? how abt his solo songs like Footstep…It’s My World (can Junsu sing a song like this ? )…Maze…his duet with YC….Shelter…his JYJ group..I Have Nothing ( in this song JJ’s voice is suit it the best…)
LOL
you already posted about this
I love JJ (and his voice to bits) but Junsu is the best technical singer.
Its not an opinion it is fact.
Junsu is always pitch perfect a.k.a perfect control of his voice.
He is famous for it and his emotional singing.
WHat do you have against junsu?
and yes junsu can sing all of the songs that you have mentioned and Jaejoong can sing the songs that Junsu sings too.
nobody here thinks JJ’s or even Chuns voice isnt powerful,
he is very very very good (good enough to be a solo singer) which is why he is on the severely “underrated list”
Junsu is not on the list because he is already recognized as “the idol with the best singing abilities”
LOL.
so ok now. why are we comparing jyj to jyj? each one of them is unique in their own way. jj’s songs for me are best for jj and same goes for yc and su. all three of them can stand alone, although when they sing together, its just magical! like one of the fanaccount said, they complement each other, and as jenknight18 said, they became equal in level. and with regards with su’s belting, i think they arrange it that way and not bcoz he cant control it. with that, everything about JYJ is perfect.
totally agree with PANDA. lol looks like you have a prob with su.
I think one thing that keeps getting missed. If I’m not mistaken, Junsu is the only one who can read music. His skills are based on being able to do that. The fact that Jae and Chunnie do it by ear, makes it all the more remarkable.
What I notice about their hamonizing is that they are generous with each other. I don’t see anyone trying to hog any part of a song. Take Fallen Leaves – Junsu wrote this song – all three make this song so special in his own way. The same with In Heaven – Jae wrote it – but each member does something special with this amazing song. And my favorite off of ‘Their Rooms – a Yoochun creation – Song With No Name – Chunnie raps, Jae and Junsu use such soft haunting melodies to support him, and this makes this song just jump out at you. For me, it’s 8 minutes of bliss listening to all three.
Each song they do is special. No one voice gets left out. The way they pick each other up is amazing. I’ve never seen anything like. It comes together this way, it is not orchestrated. This is one of the beauties of their being JYJ.
This is also one of the reasons they are being feared in the industry. Just sayin’.
@ButterFliesAreFree
I completely agree. That is the problem with most groups, there is always one or two who get the majority of the lines and the rest sing the remains. It is even more prevalent in groups where the majority are “all right” singers at best.
That they complement each other but can also do outstanding solos is a great advantage. There is no bad singer in JYJ. Junsu however is even more refined in his voice so people will make more of a fuss over him even at the expense of ignoring the other two.
But that is their silly game not JYJ’s. That is why I get kinda disappointed that I see people fall into this little game of comparing and then the ugly biases come out. “Urghh. Junsu is overrated, Jaejoong sings better!” Not that I have seen that here. Maybe disagreements on looks which is objective but not on their contribution to the group and I don’t want to see it ever. That would be a sad day for me.
A+
I think it is the root cause of the division and internal fanwars.. when having biases brings people to a different level where we see people who is part of the big team a competition.. competition triggers envy like “why is he there and not my favorite guy he is way better he should be there” or ” see he has more project than this guy so he is better”..
We can all feel that way but it is a thought we should keep to ourselves as pride over our bias.. but whenever we start to point the inadequacy of the other to prove the point of our bias being superior for sure it’ll trigger some retaliation from people who thinks the same for his own bias..
if only we could like who we like .. and just be neutral if you really are indifferent with the other.. no fan of guy1 should force the fan of guy2 to like guy1 because they are on the same team that is a reasonable consideration for those who support individuals.. but it doesn’t give the fan of either guy 1 or guy2 the license to put down the other most specially when guy1 and guy2 works under one team..
In the case of the 3.. Yes they are great individually .. not exactly equal but great on their own fields.. but it was their choice to stick in the group than have individual careers and more.. they decided to make JYJ activities priority and their individual works as just avenue to gain fans for their group.. why do they do this when they are completely capable on their own? because like what most have said.. there is something magical when the 3 are together.. people outside the 3 of them can do all the comparing and arguing but within the 3 they recognize that a personal success is just the bonus and but their focus is to be together .. that no one wants to advance without the two.. the result? they can have separate activities and enjoy different levels of success but at the end of the day.. they’ll stick together and count one’s achievement as the achievement of the 3..
)__) dont understand!!!^___^
ROLF! chunnie is underrated bcoz of junsu, and xiah junsu isnt even in the top 12! hehehe
Elle Girl’s magazine I’ll give you a little extra reason why they are awesome (Just my prespective/ my opinion^^,i’m a little bit bias here^^)
1. JYJ Jaejoong
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
Because his excellent in composing song soo we can hear his MasterPiece “in heven” and because his excellent in directing JYJ concert they choice him to direct gymnast son yeon first gala.
2. JYJ Yoochun
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
because of Xiah Junsu he is underrated.and because his excellent acting he have been getiting new actor award and everyone sudenlly recognized his acting ability
and can you add junsu too
3.JYJ Junsu
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
because his GREAT voice and his oyaji gag he is soo famous amoung musical entertainer and gagman, hahaha I miss his oyaji gag.
JUNSU TIME go go go!!
Your comment makes so much more sense than whatever Elle Girl is saying 🙂
Suddenly the survey made so much for sense. JYJ are a 5+ star group! #whatchuknoabtJYJ
@mjjejelove
considering your username, I really hope you also can appreciate and praise JJ’s heavenly voice and not just love his pretty face. He is not just composing and directing, right? he is a GREAT singer too.
hahaha yes my bad, of course it’s not just junsu but jaejoong have GREAT voice too and also yoochun, and no need hope dear for appreciate and praise JJ’s heavenly voice coz JYJ fans know how great their voice and in my comment i don’t praise JJ because his face but because his execellent skill, anyway they have different colour voice if they sing together it’s will be more GREAT right^^, sorry just my thought.
no Junsu? well, I guess he is no longer considered an idol as all those in the list are idols? For that matter JJ and YC too!!!
b’coz junsu is well known about his singing
so why he didn’t become a lead vocal?
junsu is a lead vocal along with jaejoong
of all the DBSK members he is the most recognized for purely his singing skills
lol at the question
wait…so will Jaejoong and Yoochun be featured in this issue of Elle Girl magazine? if so, i will buy it~ ^__^
Am i the only one who only read JYJ’s names and avoided the rest? LOOOOOOL
1. JYJ Jaejoong
★★★★
Because of his good looks he is often underrated.
True…agree totally!
his voice is often overlooked because of his looks
but he is proving all these people wrong
with his directing talent and more to come.
2. JYJ Yoochun
★★★
because of Xiah Junsu he is underrated.
The media really loves to compare don’t they
to me…each member is special in their own way
and they each has excellent skillz yo!^^
Skillz yo. Junsu is making my English skillz more modern. Ha!
Totally loling at Because of Xiah Junsu, he’s underrated. Hahaha. They each have their own special talent♥
Totally agree about Jaejoong. Because always underrate him becuase of his good looks.
very good BUT where is Junsu oppa?
http://hallyudream.blogspot.com/
I don’t think Jaejoong is underrated in Japan. His voice in their Japanese songs create the soul oh these songs. If there is no JJ’s voice in vWhy did I fall in love with you, Begin, Loving you, Love in the ice…..I will never fall in love with DBSK and now JYJ.
And Japanese also praise JJ’s voice a lot.
in Japan…yes
Japan and overseas countries recognised
Jae’s talent as well as his looks
sadly tho’ its his own motherland, Korea
that generally doesn’t go beyond his looks.
i agree with you…jae’s voice was the reason i became a fan,not for his looks but because of his voice in their japanese songs especially why did i fall in love with you & love in the ice.well,maybe in korea he’s underrated
who ratted this thing?? do he/she to good to judge somebody performance as
well as giving the stars? to me the one that have the best voice in bigband is
daesung,but he is not here.. and I think js,jj&yc shinning when the 3 together
on stage….Imagine just js or yc or jj singing on stage,isn’t you can feel
something missing? and this is just my opinion, everyone have their own
personal opinion..
@ImeanJYJ “Imagine just js or yc or jj singing on stage,isn’t you can feel
something missing?”
Not really, I think all three can stand on their solo stages and give a powerful performance without a feeling that something is missing. See Junsu’s solos (Beautiful Thing is my fave), JJ (Maze is my fave) and Yoochun (Girlfriend is really good and soulful). Three can stand on the same stage and sing wonderfully, they complement each other but they can also stand alone perfectly.
Also, from what I understood, the Elle article is talking about artists with great voices that are either overlooked or under-rated. That is why Junsu and Daesung are not on the list. It is already established that they are awesome singers. Jonghyun is on the list because as they said, his talent might be “stressful” (I sometimes feel that his voice might go anytime because of the way he seems to strain it) but he does put on a powerful performance.
However, you gave your opinion and I respect it. This is just mine 🙂
thanks^_^.. to me, yc’s “girlfriend” song indeed a good song
that make me fall in love imediately, I replay it few time just to
here ginger bread in the song.. and jj’s song forgotten season
is soft &peaceful..js’s song in musical “I’am” just touch my
heart… but if just one of them singing chajatta or fallen leave, it
will be different…anyway JYJ are the best^^
I think the point of this list is to showcase artists who are not usually recognized for their singing/performance. Junsu and Daesung are already well known for their singing abilities and therefore excluded from this article.
a little off track but ~ Everyone who has twitter, if u can please help trend this ~ #YuchunWinBaeksang ~ later today at 7pm KST time. Let’s make it top trend to celebrate Chunnie receiving awards.
i dont think jaejoong is underrated especially in japan, the first voice i fell for was jaejoong and i always believed he had the better voice of course i see junsu is very talented in singing as well, jaejoong voice is beautiful and i ADORE yoochuns voice, idk i start going crazy when i here chunnies voice
Yes, JJ’s voice is talented and awesome (though I prefer Junsu’s voice). However, what the article is saying that is that because of his appearance, people might dismiss him as just the “face” of the group. I felt the same way when I first saw DBSK. I was going to dismiss them as any other kpop group (my thoughts were, Yunho = good dancer, Jaejoong = pretty boy, Changmin and Yoochun = not important/fillers, and then I heard Junsu’s voice and I was enthralled and I stuck with the group). From watching their varieties and listening to more of their music and following their activities, I realized that JJ is not just a pretty face and Changmin/Yoochun were important and definitely not fillers.
However, first impressions can turn potential fans away but I’m glad that JJ is being known for his numerous talents than just his appearance.
ohhhhhhhhhhh lol ok i get it:)
its still kind of wierd to have something like this but either way they guys are talented in their own ways:)
well honestly for me, the 1st thing made me fall in love with DBSK is JJ’s voice not his good looks which is a bonus…solo or in a group his voice really great and I prefer JJ’s than Junsu’s voice cuz JJ’s voice has wider range and can sing everykind of songs, his high notes…low notes…all made me got goosebumps and in the group his voice can combine, harmonize and unify other members’ voice to made a really beautiful harmony..yes no wonder he was chosen as the lead vocal….
If someone whose names didn’t mention in this mag means they are the best..the powerful one…. it is what we call underrated….
I prefer JJ in Japan and other countries than in his own country Korea which can’t accept the reality that a man with gorgeous look also can have heavenly voice … so many times they always try to deny that JJ is a really great singer…. everytime there was chart, ranking or whatever you call it in Korea I always know that JJ will not be in those things…
and here is part of article posted on a well known forum July last year…I like how they do realize and appreciate JJ’s singing talent…

Though this result is shocking, but to think about it clearly, it’s not something impossible too. To be frank, we have always find it weird, why our country (in this article it means Korea) and Asia have yet to be captured by JaeJoong’s charms and stage charisma completely. This person’s charm is beyond standard, till a point that you can’t calmly focus on his singing. People who attended their live concert for the first time whispered, “JaeJoong singing is this good woo!”, this kind of situation had happened for many times, impossible to explain them one by one.
Hero JaeJoong’ singing ability is not just averagely good, though Xiah JunSu’s singing ability had received the highest complements, however the strong duet formation by the two of them is then the powerful leading pillar of TVXQ. JaeJoong leads the group in coordinating the combination of voice, tone, volume, range, expression, interpretation of the song lyrics, leading choral composition, balance control, harmonizing each member as a lead vocal, there’s nothing to be picky about him. Not only that, he never stop learning and analyzing, searching for new type of singing method. In order to expand all different type of expression in music genres, every stage performance is just like experiments to him, putting his best to interact with the audiences, to input all his strength onto influencing the whole performance. It will take a long time to list down all JaeJoong’s musical talents, it would take some efforts to introduce them one by one. His look is the best in Asia, just his singing ability itself can also consider as the top in Asia too, even his attitude towards music, it’s the same as well.
————————————-
Sorry for my long rant…I just don’t like how often people underrated and underestimate JJ’s heavenly voice and just consider him pretty face. JJ is a complete package artist. JJ fighting!!!
I love this! It is great that you wrote this much.
He really is underrated, in Korea especially. I remember watching DBSK’s first live performance at a Britney Spears showcase and the audience cheered more enthusiastically for Yunho, Changmin and Junsu. Yoochun got some cheers but Jae…I think they clapped when his part came up but that is it. I was like o_0 He sang really nice. Why the cold reception?
I read stories where fans tried to get Jae out of DBSK. Like once Changmin defended Jae and said that if Jae left he would leave with him to shut up the antis. The other more well known one is the time when a fan cried because Jae signed her pic instead of her favorite. Why so rude? You got it signed…OK your favorite wasn’t there but how does that excuse crying or being rude to someone who was trying to be nice?
What a ridiculous person crying over something so stupid.
I wouldn’t do that to Yunho and he is like….my totally least favorite member. I would smile and walk away not make a scene and embarrass him like that. Many others attack him because of his looks or they think that he is arrogant or just plain hate him. I don’t think they should be forced to get to “know him better” but that doesn’t excuse their rudeness.
I LOVE YOU JYJ! I LOVE YOU JAEJOONG!
@soraya200
“Sorry for my long rant…I just don’t like how often people underrated and underestimate JJ’s heavenly voice and just consider him pretty face. JJ is a complete package artist. JJ fighting!!!”
Well, I read every word of your long rant and I found it fascinating and enlightening. I didn’t really know, I guess, that Jaejoong’s musical abilities were ever in question–that just astounds me, frankly. Anybody with ears to hear can tell that he has a unique, instantly identifiable vocal quality and that the sound of his voice defines the word “beautiful.” He’s also a serious musician and songwriter who obviously cars deeply about his art.
When I first started listening to him his voice really reminded me of Smokey Robinson’s, who is one of the greatest soul singers ever. Well, to each his own. But I will continue listening to Jaejoong sing for as long as he continues to do so.
Seriously I love everything that you mentioned here. I totally understand what u r trying to say. Jaejoong is definitely underrated because of his look. I am also really disappointed with korean ppl’s perception that there is only one good singer in a group and extremely good looking/pretty people cant sing. It cant be denied that there are a few of them who do not have talent but we should always listen first before simply labeling them as a talentless flowers/vase.
I really like Jaejoong’s voice and I always think that he is amazing in singing. I always feel this indescribable feeling when listening to his live performance. There is just something special that attract my attention. There are too many talented, awesome singer out there but he will always stay as my favorite singer. I really admire his angelic, sooth voice with his amazing wide range. I love how he can sing ballad soulfully and express emotions through singing. I love “Wasurenaide, 9095, In Heaven, Kiss Shita Mama, Color, and Shelter. He is very talented.
I also do not like how people say that he is a awful dancer. I understand that he is not the best dancer out there because he cant do freestyle dancing or has the flexibility to dance freely on the spot, but i still think that he is not that terrible in dancing. He can performs out their choreographed dance and this is not something easy to do for someone who cannot dance.
LOL! You changed your mind about Jaeminsu but you still think the same about Yunho? Hahaha! No….seriously though they all had a part and it was nice listening to them harmonize.
6. Shinee’s Onew
★★★★
He has a mild impression like his voice. His stable voice is like Kim Yeon-woo.
this so much. Onew never gets any respect
i dont think jonghyun is underrated tho? people always praise his voice right and left
Maybe that is why Onew does his funny dances, to get attention he doesn’t get otherwise. Why do fans do that? Why do they tear down others at the expense of their favorite? Why is it so hard to equally respect all members? Freaking childish.
¿Where is my dear Su? Jaejoong, Chunnie, ¡good! It would be wonderful if I was able to speak and read Korean. ¡Sigh!
Hmmm… this is kinda weird….
LOL…. But, I think none of the three can be considered: underrated…. JYJ is the only group in the world (that I know of) that each member shine bright in their own way, yet still be able to blend beautifully together….
Voice-wise:
Junsu can definitely become a successful solo artist…. His voice soar high to the sky… It pierces right into the listener’s heart…. When he stand on the stage, He owns it… You can’t but melt, tear-up, smile, laugh, touched and feel anything this guy want you to feel when you listen to him singing…
Yoochun’s voice is like the sea to me… He can make a soft warm voice like a soft wave… or deep, piercing, heart beating and gosh… sexy… sound like a storm…. He actually is the one who can reach those low notes and ‘scream’ high notes beautifully… It puzzles me first, why Yoochun was picked as ‘the middle’ voice of DB5K when he can reach those low notes better than Yunho whose voice is actually in the range of Tenor…
Jaejoong’s is a warm blanket that can soften Junsu and strengthen Yoochun, yet still be able to polish and show the best of his and his brothers voice… I don’t know how to explain it, but his voice is like hugging you…. He is the lead singer (not main, lead…) of DB5K for a reason…. Listen to old DB5K songs, and you’ll see how big this guy’s role in the group harmonization…
because of Xiah Junsu he is underrated.” – random but lol
this statement and the fact that junsu isn’t on the list makes junsu like he’s on a whole another level from the rest o___O or probably elle girl doesn’t care about him and just doesn’t bother 😛 well, at least his name is somewhat there -.-
OMO…Because of Xiah Junsu he is underrated?….
2. JYJ Yoochun
★★★
because of Xiah Junsu he is underrated.
what the heck??! o.o
Jaechun’s ratings feel like they were thrown together last minute. Yoochun’s rating was… not really talking about him at all, merely Junsu?
11. Wondergirls’ Sohee
★
She might not be the most talkative person but she needs no introduction in music.
And this made me laugh. What are they implying? She needs no introduction in music how, exactly?
She is VERY popular in Korea. They did some survey last year about idols who influence the entertainment scene/are important and she came like…1st/2nd don’t remember too well. A lot of people disagreed and I have never really followed her or the Wonder Girls so I didn’t give an opinion. I still don’t know much about her but she also seems to suffer a love/hate thing in Korea.
2. JYJ Yoochun
★★★
because of Xiah Junsu he is underrated.
LOL WHAT?!
i think they mean because Xiah is undoubtedly the best singer in kpop people tend to underrate yoochuns singing abilities
its a compliment.
yoochun actually has a HUGE range and a very unique tone but he isnt lead vocal so lots of people underrate him
i’ve noticed this myself actually.
It is a shitty compliment.
Junsu is awesome but it makes it sound like he is hogging away from Chun when that isn’t true.
2. JYJ Yoochun
because of Xiah Junsu he is underrated.
————–
why？！！！！
Maybe coz Junsu is sooooooooooooooo talented and his singing skills are so good .. they tend to underrate Yoochun when they compare him with Junsu.
But, actually Yoochun is very talented!! His voice is very charming and, in my opinion, he is one of the best singers among all members of groups in Korea ….
