JENTAYU, patah sayap bertongkat paruh, patah paruh bertongkat siku, patah siku bertongkat dagu, patah dagu bertongkat kuku (T/N: the poem is about a mythical bird that break its wings that it have to support itself on its beak, then break its beak, it have to support itself on its elbow, then break its elbow, it have to support itself on chin, then break its chin, it have to support itself on its nails. So, basically, the bird keep going on with its life, trying to support itself, despite losing almost everything.) -this lyrics of Sheila Majid’s and Nora’s song which is taken from poem of the late National Literary Usman Awang suddenly crossed in mind when thinking about JYJ.
For the writer, this three fellow ~Jaejoong,Yoochun and Junsu ~ is a symbol of young men that are determined and never giving up.
Despite facing various obstacle and restriction in their singing career ever since leaving DBSK in 2009 – including “cancelled” appearance in the last minute, be it in television or performance stage – they never give up!
And as the result, their talent is being recognized by various parties in South Korean entertainment industry.
Recently, Park Yoochun is chosen as Asian Most Popular Actor for 2011 Seoul Drama Awards, defeating 115 other nominees with 480,000 votes.
He, whom starred in KBS Drama Sungkyunkwan Scandal last year have won New Star Award, Netizen Award and Best Couple Award.
This year, Yoochun appear as main cast in MBC drama, Miss Ripley, along with Lee Da Hae.
Furthermore, Kim Junsu shine as stage actor through hit musical theatre like Mozart! and Tears Of Heaven.
Meanwhile, the multitalented Kim Jaejoong not only act in Japanese drama, Hard To Say I Love You, he even directed the 2011 JYJ Worldwide Concert Tour from Asia to North America.
For the time being, his appearance in currently airing SBS Drama, Protect The Boss, even though not as the main, gaining a lot of praises.
Their hard work as a team that doesn’t rely solely on looks really worth it when JYJ popularity is now expanding to USA, they even have chance to collaborate with Kanye West and Rodney Jerkins for their album.
This fighting spirit is being admired by their fans and probably Malaysian artist should learn from them.

Yes being a Malaysian I’m so happy and thumbs up for this writer ^^
“For the writer, this three fellow ~Jaejoong,Yoochun and Junsu ~ is a symbol of young men that are determined and never giving up.” This is also what we fans think about JYJ too. No matter how many obstacles or hardship they need to face, they will succeed at last. Their image makes various organization recognized and ask JYJ to be their ambassadors. We as their fans are so proud for their never being defeated spirit. PROUD is a word we frequently used lately. Yes we are just PROUD of our boys.
this article so right…that why i am here who never a fan of any fandom and now became their fan!!!!
The best article I’ve read in a long time. They don’t only praise the boys like every other article, they see in them what we, the fans see, why we support them with everything we have. It feels like they quoted my thoughts.
it’s really ironic right ? even though our boys spirit can give big impact to other people in around of the world but their own country like indifferent with their matter.
yeah, but korea citizen is ok only the company and goverment still can’t accept the reality.
it’s really pity…….when they are need something big from JYJ they used our boys but then when they aren’t, they shut all of their sense again
totally foolish. They thought the citizen are blind?
But still going to say thank, because they helping JYJ to gather more populities…haha
“Their hard work as a team that doesn’t rely solely on looks”
this statement can only be imply to JYj/tvxq….as I think they have both looks& talents than any other groups…
wonderful article ❤ ❤ ❤ "the bird keep going on with its life, trying to support itself, despite losing almost everything" this makes me cry TT.TT as singers, no one gives them a stage to sing, a chance to promote, but they go through all hardship to make their own ones, own concerts, own tours, n like Chun said "It’s been hard for us to catch a chance and shall I say not many good chances come to us as well", they try their best in every chance they can get: musicals, dramas, show directing, to make their names as individuals become known, n through that ppl will know about "JYJ". Hardship cannot break them down, it only makes their success more glorious ❤ This is why i can always proudly say: I'm a fan of JYJ ~ JaeJoong ~ Yoochun ~ Junsu, from them, I do learn a lot ❤
A++++++ totally agree with you
Thank, you said at all!!
absolutely agree with u
I love the bird story and I love JYJ. And your words are very touching. I am also proud to be their fan.
i really love the opening. that is why JYJ is my encouragement and i do not keep them on same page with any artist.They cut the wing and they fought never giving up. Youth with determination who dare to follow their decision and choice to the end.
good say
omg is it today’s newspaper??
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY JUST WHYYYYYY did i bought berita harian??? *sigh*
Chunnie & Junsu I love you, but right now I really need to gush about someone finally recognising Jaejoong “multi-talented”!!! ♥ ^____________________________^
my dear @sapphire ..I want ^____________________^ with you too!!!
@anva
That “multi-talented” is still making my heart ^______________________^. So many non-fans dismiss Jae & his great voice & equally great talents behind the scenes writing, composing, directing, acting etc. Jaejoong, Chunnie & Su remind me to keep going when life is tough – all 3 are multi-talented & inspirational.
Anva, I’m hugging you cause I’m so happy! (& cause I love you!)
“Jaejoong, Chunnie & Su remind me to keep going when life is tough ” yes me eitheir….. because everything they get very hard that why this article like this it mean alot with fan like us ^____^..and one more thing..like their lovely friendship i want to share with you happy and tough time if i have change….HUG!!!!!!
yeah!multi-talented jaejoong!i love it.
Thank you writer-nim, you have a wonderful sense and sensibility in acknowledging talent and determination.
Sheila Majid & Nora : Jentayu
terima kasih Utusan Malaysia^^
The best article ever!!
JYJ hwaiting….
I’m proud to be one of Malaysian fan^__*
Like the poem!! Best article ever 😀
then peom is good to describe JYJ but sad
The poem speaks of the indomitable spirit of a warrior against a much bigger and powerful entity. What a beautiful comparison. JYJ as the Jentayu … beautiful, strong and most of all courageous. Kudos to the writer. I’ve always loved this song sung by two of Malaysia’s finest female singers … the legendary Sheila Majid and Nora. We will be behind JYJ, our “Jentayu”.
omg..must search utusan malaysia yesterday..i wish my housemate has bought it..
i forgot to bought paper these days..
I love the article! These times are the hardest for the boys but they do not loose their courage! I love you JYJ ❤
Aish!!! I should have that paper.. why my mother didn’t buy it?? (-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩___-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩)
