Love Calls Directed to JYJ to Become Honorary Ambassadors Especially (Numerous)… Why?
The representative group of Korea JYJ and their global appointments as honorary ambassadors are newly being paid attention to by the netizens.
JYJ is contributing to society by being appointed as honorary ambassadors for a variety of events and organizations, such as FLL Korea 2011, International Abroad Korean Trade Association, Jeju-World 7 Wonders, KEPCO, G20 Friends, and such. As if proving JYJ’s status, these appointments are of scale that are above the usual.
Then what is the reason behind JYJ being appointed frequently as honorary ambassadors to these prominent major events?
First is the global image of JYJ itself. JYJ has established the image as a global star with the success of their first world wide album, The Beginning. If JYJ with such success comes to be honorary ambassadors, then the organization or event can benefit from the effect of enhancing naturally their brand powers.
Also underlying is the calculation that there can be built a relationship of a strategic partner with the Korean Wave group that represents Korea to unfold the global strategy (of the entity). That is because among the entertainers of Korea there are not many that have both the high name recognition and power like JYJ.
Another reason is the dynamic and solid team work of JYJ. In fact, last January at the time of JYJ’s appointment as honorary ambassadors for FLL Korea, the host explained the background behind the appointment: “We decided that the passion and the team work that JYJ has is akin to the spirit of the competition.” It is that JYJ’s young and future-looking image highlights the promotional impact.
Also, the good deeds by JYJ who have actively engaged in societal works such as donation and volunteering regularly cannot be ignored. As well known, members of JYJ are shining a bright light of positivity on our society’s dark and isolated places with their fans—through donating operation costs for child cancer patients, sponsoring operation costs for child heart disease patients, building houses of love, and such.
It seems that the love calls for JYJ to become honorary ambassadors will not end for a while because there are still many organizations, institutions and events that wish that JYJ who is leading the global Korean Wave will become their honorary ambassadors. It is of attention as to who will become the lucky entity after KEPCO.
yeah and then dont cockblock them then..hmmpff
HA!!! Take that! *kapow* 😀
Awesome article. Keep ’em coming! Must get the pressure heavier for stupid Korean media to get the idea. =P
go go glo!!!!!
This is wonderful news! I hope to see them on TV in Korea real soon.
“It is of attention as to who will become the lucky entity after KEPCO.”
They have really put JYJ’s name in high regard. As it should be.
Quite systematically it seems that the boys are briskly going about the business of proving every day in every way that all SM’s propaganda and bogus claims about them being “harmful to Korean society” are almost laughably WRONG. They only thing not laughable is the obvious malice with which SM has been carrying out their prolonged smear campaign all of these long months. And now all of their lies are being exposed, one by one.
I’m (almost) beginning to feel gratitude towards SMe for being such greedy bastards…because their way of doing business drove the brightest-shining talent out of their idol-cult-factory and into the daylight of artistry & ambassadorship. We may be certain that anything attached to current SMe singers will have been negotiated by SMe for it’s own benefit both socially & monetarily.
While JYJ will should be making money from such commitments as well – it’s rather heartwarming to know that THEY get to pick and choose who & what they represent – – – AND that any compensation for appearances will be going to their pockets and not into the corporate machine.
I think of all the news…I’m still most excited about the Recording Studio ~ ♫♪♫♪♫♪ ~ I’m anticipating GREAT things to come of that.

“I think of all the news…I’m still most excited about the Recording Studio ~ ♫♪♫♪♫♪ ~ I’m anticipating GREAT things to come of that.”
Hey, girlfriend… I wanted to catch up with you before I sign off for some dinner in the backyard. 🙂 I’m excited about the studio news too. We can only imagine what’s going to be coming out of there in the months to come. And of course I’m pretty excited about Jae’s foray into the world of K-dramas…. and playing a power role this time instead of the kind of wimpy guy he played in “Hard To Say I Love You”, which I’m watching right now (well, plowing through might be more accurate; how do people stand to watch dramas on Dramacrazy?? It’s sure making ME crazy, dealing with all the crap you have to go through on the site…)
And the mean, spiteful woman in me is certainly loving all of the ambassadorial shoes JYJ are being asked to fill, if only for the acid indigestion it’s probably giving LSM…
Good times, good times…
🙂
oooo….dinner in the backyard….NICE. I’m currently stunned as hell…because it just rained for about 5 minutes. We’ve had a full-on drought here for about three years…we get rain (about 5 minutes worth) once every month…or so., maybe.
It’s excrutiatingly hot and dry…..there was an ABSOLUTE BAN on July 4th fireworks….and I mean ZERO…not even the City had them. So the idea of having dinner in the backyard sounds heavenly….ENJOY ~ ~ ~ ♥
p.s. I’m not certain LSM’s ego would allow him to even consider that JYJ have accomplished anything since leaving SMe…hopefully their upcoming CD (please let that happen) will cause a major To-Do with the broadcasters ability to keep banning them…now that the cat’s-outta-the-bag, so to speak, in terms of fans/politicians calling the PD’s liars – repeatedly & openly. We shall see. (cue the drama music ~)
@sally_b the no fireworks rule actually saved my life this weekend!! i work at sea world, so you can only imagine how busy it was with it being the 4th of july weekend. but if there were fireworks… i’m pretty sure like everyone would’ve been working until well after midnight. i know we did last year LOL DX
@yellow&elephant – LOL….you must be working at SeaWorld SanAntonio then? hehee…I’m in Austin…or rather dry-limestone-Texas-Summer-Hell-Austin. It’s so sad because the Hill Country is arguably one of the prettiest parts of a mostly flat, flat State. The drought is really sad….if you drive by local lakes the water has receded so much that it has created small islands near the shorelines….we have a LOT of local wildlife, deer, foxes, rabbits etc….I hate to think what they must be suffering …..3 years of it now. (puts on feathers and does my best Cherokee rain dance ♫♪)
@sally_b
“oooo….dinner in the backyard….NICE. I’m currently stunned as hell…because it just rained for about 5 minutes. We’ve had a full-on drought here for about three years…”
Yep, it was really nice. So nice, we’re doing the same darn deal all over again tonight. (We’re going to have a salad though.) My Significant Other has really put in a lot of effort over a few years to make a nice little dining area back there. We’re just getting over a drought here. We had Water Police roaming the neighborhoods trying to catch people watering their yards on the wrong days…. It was pretty sick. But it rained like crazy last winter so now they’re saying we don’t have to conserve anymore.
OH! I wanted to tell you I was in Austin a few years ago attending a family reunion of our Texas relatives. A cousin has a house where it was being held in the hill country you mentioned and it was beautiful there. The reunion itself was kind of bogus. Most of our relations had better things to do that day and didn’t bother to show up. My bro and sister and I had flown in from California and Washington state to be there. My cousin said, “Oops–sorry” when we got there…
🙂
You remind me of an article I read yesterday. Homin were on the cover of the Japanese Rolling Stone. Apparently it is hard for even Japanese artists to make it on the cover yet Homin were the first Koreans to do so. People kept saying that this “proves” that they are recognized as artists and not idols……yeah OK. They are artists, That is why they write their own music, compose their songs, have their own recording studio, got picked as national ambassadors for Jeju-7 natural wonders of the world and recently held a successful concert tour in the U.S./Asia as the ONLY act right? As well as other numerous achievements while their former management company made sure to block every step of the way.
I was gonna comment, “Bitches please” but I saw the possible fight that would ensue. Homin are hard-working young men who are also in a difficult situation but they ARE NOT artists. Only one or two people said anything about the implications that they are “artists.” The rest were *drooling*, “They are showing their buff arms. So handsome!” Spazzing on their attractiveness on a post that is supposedly celebrating their talents and artistry speaks a lot to me. That shit is OK for their Anan shoot but not for the Rolling Stone.
“We may be certain that anything attached to current SMe singers will have been negotiated by SMe for it’s own benefit both socially & monetarily.” Yeah….that is what I’m thinking too cause then SM commented on how “surprised” they were that TVXQ got on the cover and “what an honor” it was. Strangely the ACTUAL article has not been posted anywhere yet. Wonder how they’ll pass the time.
@Mia2 – I’m right there with ya on that thought ~
I TRY not to make too many HoMin comparisons…because, hey…they chose what they chose….but it is hard to ignore seeing pics of HoMin hovering above the hot-dog counter in a Japanese 711 (their latest sponsorship) without thinking….”exactly WHO is this benefitting?” I mean…..honestly….what professional musician wants to be associated with frozen-food and deli sandwiches at a convenience store? This is surely the work of men-in-suits calculatiing their next bonus – because it absolutely does NOT speak to presenting their highest caliber artists as….hrmmmm…artists.
so yeah…..got ya 😉
+Thank you. Like I said they are also nice boys despite their choices and I actually don’t care anymore about their “we didn’t know” comments. The “greed” excuse still rubs me but I’ve come to let it go because frankly we JYJ fans and JYJ themselves have far more important things to do and contemplate.
Homin themselves aren’t the problem. Like you said they chose what they chose…..what upsets me are the idiots who think SM can actually manage true artists. They tell Homin and everyone else for that matter what to do and they do it. Period. They might hear your wardrobe complaints and let you do small decisions, they might even get to translate/compose a song or two (at your own time) but at the end of the day you do as they say. I’d like for those SM fans to tell me how that is artistry…..yeah……I could have seen it now Kurt Cobain, had he lived, endorsing hotdogs…..*laughs*
1, it’s japanese rolling stone, not THE rolling stone most people give credit for. in japan, this magazine is basically… nothing, not even at the level of an-an (like it or not, blame it on how japanese people like their domestic products since the day they were born)
2, there’s no such a thing as ‘surprise’ for appearing on cover. if anybody believes that, basically they just don’t understand logic and/or mechanism of running a magazine or publishing house in general.
so no need to feel bothered by claim of stupidity shown by many fans out there about this issue.
/yes, it’s stupidity that i call out here.
A+++ couldn’t have said it better!
To all my sisters above, yes the tired old pronouncements from LSM/SME and cohorts are just that…tired. Lame, tired, pointless, and most of all ineffective. How frustrating it must be to go to all that trouble and find out a whole bunch of folks aren’ t paying you any rabbit’s behind mind. I’ll keep saying it – every dog has his day.
@sally_b – the key thought — greed breeds arrogance, which ultimately makes you do stupid stuff when things don’t go your way. Again, I ain’t complaining. Keep it coming I say. If LSM can’t force himself to admit JYJ’s success since leaving, that is his problem. Cause one thing is for sure, the guys are singing ALL the way to the bank! Depositing all the money they have earned that they should have earned at SME and AVEX. But no worries, because the guys work so hard, are passionate about what they are doing, the Universe is rewarding them with their proper due.
The fact of the RS is music to my ears, because as I said before…this is just one step away from JYJ Productions! And if that doesn’t give the old bastard agida (sp), I don’t know what will.
I know you said you are from Texas, and I know the region is hurting. I’ve got close friends there in the Dallas area. So, I know how tough it is. I also saw pictures of the dust cloud that swept over Phoenix. SCARY!
@BAFfie
” the key thought — greed breeds arrogance, which ultimately makes you do stupid stuff when things don’t go your way. ”
Thinking it over and working the above statement backwards it rather suggests that the members of JYJ have been falsely labeled “greedy” by their former bandmates, former bosses and myriad easily hoodwinked detractors in the fandom. Three more sincere, hard-working, humble and grateful young men it would be hard to find in all the world.
And I think they have succeeded in the last year or so beyond even their wildest dreams because the have loved and encouraged their fans to trust them and believe in them. I think that as time goes on, it will be more and more impossible to cast doubt on JYJ’s motives or characters. The ones who continue to do this sort of thing will be the ones under suspicion of evil-doing, not JYJ.
EXACTLY, my sister. The trust factor. When you hold tight to each other, there is strength. That trust and strength can carry you a long way.
“I think that as time goes on, it will be more and more impossible to cast doubt on JYJ’s motives or characters. The ones who continue to do this sort of thing will be the ones under suspicion of evil-doing, not JYJ.”
This is the arrogance and stupidity I’m referring to. Pretty soon, the emperor will be walking around with no clothes. 😉
I{m so proud of our JYJ ❤
BAM! BAM! Proud!
And in business, they love people with inovation and have courage to take a risk, and that why business people love JYJ, do you think KEPCO want girls with miniskirt or idol who lipsync to become their ambassador?
NICEEEEEEE
can I giggle for this comment? that’s major real NIIIIIIIIIIIICE there hehehe
you’re comment is just like your name Jaebabycutest!
This is nice. I’ve been wondering when the media would write about JYJ’s numerous ambassadorships for sometime now. ‘Ambassadors’ really do have a nice ring to it. Being an ambassador connotes being the social, economic, and public liaison for other countries. They’re really representing the country and its face, and it’s a big responsibility but JYJ has been doing that for a long time now, so the title’s just acknowledging that fact.
And this: ‘representative group of Korea JYJ.’ With all the appointments for ambassadorships, how can they not be?
This article is just “WOW”
..be back later….
I am a very proud JYJ fan, and I will continue to support them as best as I can.
“…there are still many organizations, institutions and events that wish that JYJ who is leading the global Korean Wave will become their honorary ambassadors. It is of attention as to who will become the lucky entity after KEPCO.”
I’m liking this very much…
so who will be the lucky entity after KEPCO?
JYJ gets to choose.
soon this will be the scenario for those cockblocking broadcasters.
when they finally decide to have JYJ on their shows
they will have to wait in line and JYJ will be the one deciding which one they WANT to attend.
…soon it will happen.
kekeeke i love your comment
‘soon this will be the scenario for those cockblocking broadcasters.

“Another reason is the dynamic and solid team work of JYJ” proud of JYJ!!!!^______^ see our men love, care, understand, and support each other, now they became stronger and stronger everyday, for everthing they went through, hard time, cry, sad, sick, anti, bash, insult, ban everywhere..make them more stick togheter like YC said what ever they do individule activities, JYJ still the center with them. their fans ,WE went through alot too, now situation better why we can not learn from them???. So busy for last few day , i am so happy to come back my JYJ3 family and see alot of good new from the boys but..little hot in here ..Why?? i know alot of sista in here more mature than me ..just my feeling and think..in here always wellcome New, old, JYjfan , JUJsu fans, YC fans, JJ fans…different opinion, different background, different country..It will doest mater because we love our men, JYJ..
everyone have their right to give their opinion but.. pls say with respect other in you mind, you can not agree and disagree with the choose words in comments..No one deserve the strong comments in their face.. in both way just because they feel some thing different .Let me and ppls learn more from you comment with smlies face..and after that we still can spazz, laugh and share warn feeling with it other…Thank you all my sistas!! sorry Adnims ilttle out of topic!!
…
@anva
welcome back dear
like JS said in the end it’s JYJ
n JS also said that there are articles about this and that a bit…! Let’s all take strength a bit more ^^ Okay!? Let’s not be sad… one day they will understand and trust us^^ If we do not let go of each other until that day, with only that we are happy~ Thank you always! (110518)
it’s really hot right now i hope tommorow it’s gonna cooling down bit……(sigh)
I love this article for the fact there was not a single mention about how JYJ became popular through DBSK/THSK yesteryears. JYJ is also well recognised after becoming this unit. Perhaps more. Im a proud fan. 🙂 God bless JYJ.
*Standing up and clapping* JYJ are truly amazing. Haters in your face. :-} That’s all I’m going to say.
can I join you…*Standing up and clapping*!
(your avatar–the baby is so cute..mwaah!)
PROUD PROUD PROUD
keep moving on JYJ! and we fans will always behind you. ^^
Korean wave is riding to JYJ’s popularity.
Anyway, proud to be their FAN and part of the FAMILY!
Victories won through hardship are felt deeply in the heart and give a satisfaction not possible in other circumstances. JYJ and the fans who have supported them under such terrible conditions share a common bond and any victories that come, we feel as one. Hard to explain such deeply held emotions from a group of people who are just fans of a singing group, without knowing what we had to pay to get this far. So proud of JYJ and all the fans who never gave up.
Can I just say I love your comment?? This is certainly how I feel after reading the article thanks for laying it down nicely 🙂
JYJ = EPITOME. / ’nuff said
For a progressive society/corporation or even a small group of people …the key players should have innovation, freedom and independence, self-reliance, risk taking, talent and hardwork. goal and determination, and unending quest for excellence …JYJ men have all these qualities, and they are seen by those top people in different sectors. I think they are not selected as ambassadors because they can sing well and are too good looking, these are plus factors but I believe the main factor is the way they live their lives and carry their profession as musical artists.
@kris
“For a progressive society/corporation or even a small group of people …the key players should have innovation, freedom and independence, self-reliance, risk taking, talent and hardwork. goal and determination, and unending quest for excellence ”
I really like what you wrote and I agree with you. You said it well.
🙂
I’m piggybacking on my sister here. SECOND!
Well-said, MIA2 – bitches, please. It’s true that HoMin have been working hard, just like JYJ, but they aren’t “artists”. After all, all they’re doing right now is following orders from SME, whether they want to or not . No creativity, no individuality, no freedom, and essentially, no backbone – that’s what sets them in a lower position than JYJ in terms of musicianship (and many other things).
Although DBSK as five had an inarguably dynamic stage presence, I don’t know if the two groups could reunite, especially with HoMin’s rather cynical remarks towards JYJ, nor do I really care. I believe in and support Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu, whether they’re part of a three-member group or a five-member group, because I have faith in them and their judgement.
A rather mood-killing post, but I hope many people found themselves in agreement with me.
Because they are JYJ…they truly deserve the honorary ambassadors….SUPER PROUUUUUUUUUD ^^
omg. goosebumps everywhere while i was reading this article!!
This is great :P…so now finally someone admits JYJ is leading Korea wave? this is long long long overdue and too bad they have far surpassed that wave already..
This article prove how amazing our boys is. Despite greedy bastard SM block many ways, JYJ still prove that they are awesome! G20, Jeju island, business trade, kepco and fll, maybe NASA will be the next? Hehehe. I love our boys!
“JYJ who is leading the global Korean Wave” *Grins
That is because among the entertainers of Korea there are not many that have both the high name recognition and power like JYJ –> *standing ovation* JYJ, you make me proud again…. ^_^
Keep on doing your best, and I’m sure you’ll conquer it all….
