JYJ From the Peak to the Rock Bottom… Now We’re Masters at Most Hardships
Junsu: “We have never clashed in conflict in working on our music. On the contrary, we ask each other because we try to hear the other member’s opinion and we each seek to accommodate them. When doing so, definitely we got good opinions.”
Yoochun: In any case, since the fans waited for a long time and gave us strength and courage we wish it to be a good present. Because we did not purposefully create self-compositions to become singer-songwriters. In the beginning it was difficult. Because we did not have the songs to use in our concerts at that moment. It is that a hardship turned into a blessing. It was a good learning experience. Because we ourselves drew it from the sketch. Now, even with the members, there is a different sort of trust than what before. There is also confidence for the next album.”
Because there were many hardships, they seemed as if they had become masters in most hardships. Overnight, they went from the position of the very top enjoying everything there is to enjoy to experiencing rock bottom—and it was a precious opportunity for growth. They said in unison the following optimistically:
“For middling things we do not become stressed. We have also become desensitized. If we were to become angry there is no gain from that. We think it will be fine if we just stay put and do our work diligently. We are thankful at merely one small thing. Before, we used to become irritated at a small thing but now we’ve become the opposite.”
JYJ had been touring the world but this summer they enjoyed their individual time. Yoochun enjoyed sea-fishing by going down to Pusan after the KBS drama Sungkyunkwan Scandal without doing solo schedules. Jaejoong took rest at home quietly except for filming the SBS drama Protect the Boss and recording albums in the studio. Junsu was the most active. Except for making a cameo appearance in the SBS drama Scent of a Woman after appearing in the musicals, he participated enthusiastically in the activities of the idol soccer team FC MEN. Thanks to that, he has become close friends with not only Kim Hyunjoong but also B2ST’s Doojoon and Kikwang.
JYJ is preparing a special tour with this album—the European Tour. JYJ will have a performance on the coming 29th in Palau Sant Jordi of Barcelona, Spain and on November 6th in Tempodrom of Berlin, Germany. The also plan to continue their participation in many society-giving activities. I heard their visions for their future directly from them.
“The European Tour can be thought as separate from the World Tour that we have had so far. From before many countries in Europe including Spain sent us love calls to perform but the timing worked this time around. It is the same with honorary ambassadors—you do not become one because you want to. When there is a request, we always think of it positively and we do it if it works in our schedule. It came in to work in our timing and so we were able to do it. We are thankful that they give us such an opportunity. From now on, we plan to always give and share.”
JYJ had become one in music and become solos in acting—they have ceaselessly ran as such. They made clear their intention to act as a group that shares love in forever remembering the moving moments that the fans have shown them in concerts.

“…There is also confidence for the next album.”
I’m definitely looking forward to whatever they put out. My “In Heaven” album has yet to arrive in the mail, but I’m already planning to buy the next one. I’m really glad that they’ve become desensitized though. Whenever, I see another injustice done to them, it makes me feel bad and I often say, “If I feel this bad, imagine how my boys must feel”. So it’s good to see that they don’t let it get to them too much. I always knew they were strong but part of me is so overprotective of them. Ahhh….I’m so proud of them. As long as they continue to work hard in their activities, I’ll continue to work hard in supporting them!!
LOL.. i havent read ur comment yet but… that avie is something to talk about..hahah

i love their music and i love their thoughtfull interviews. they will succeed because they have the right mindset and see things in a good perspective. hardships help you grow and mature and you become better for having learned and lived through them.

“Fire is the test of gold; adversity, of strong men.”
JYJ have come out better and stronger.
To them I wanna say,
“There is no limit to what you can imagine. And with commitment, with effort, what you can imagine you can become. Put your mind to work for you. Believe that you can do it. The world will tell you that you can’t. Yet, in your belief you’ll find the strength, you’ll find the ability, to do it anyway.” Ralph Marston
LIKE….

As a fan, I feel it’s really unfair for such a talented grp to even HAVE to suffer hardships simply because they chose not to be taken advantage of. Nevertheless I recognize that their trials will only make them stronger people and artists. So proud of our boys for turning obstacles into strengths!!

I cherish each word of this meaningful paragraph. JYJ; wise men. I want to apply these words to my own life. I’m learning from their courage and determination. 🙂
Wise words from our clever boys indeed~~
To had come to know JYJ makes me feel greatly blessed my dear @Shadow.
