With the increase of K-pop concerts worldwide, airports all over the world have been experiencing the Hallyu wave in full, finding out rapidly that dealing with K-pop fans means more than just posting a guard or two at the arrival gate.
While the likes of JFK and Heathrow airports having already had their share of the excitement with SM Town and Beast’s World Tour respectively, neither have had to deal with what Jorge Chávez International Airport in Lima, Peru went through for JYJ‘s arrival.
The fans showed up to the airport over 3,000 strong to support JYJ. It looks as though airport security had a hunch that there were going to be a lot of fans and it looks mostly organized. Fences were set up to keep the members as well as the fans safe. When the crowd got so deep that fans in the back couldn’t see, they started lining up on the bridge a fair distance away from the exit of the airport, hanging banners and getting their cameras ready.
The passion that K-pop fans have is amazing. Despite the recent controversy that has hit the group, fan support looks to be at the strongest point it has ever reached. Are you excited for JYJ’s concert in Peru? Would you be out there with the fans if you were in the country? Let us know in the comments!
“Despite the recent controversy that has hit the group, fan support looks to be at the strongest point it has ever reached. ” Yes indeed. The real fans come out when trouble hit. Those who don’t matter follow rumors and those who do follow the boys.
” Despite the recent controversy that has hit the group, fan support looks to be at the strongest point it has ever reached” that where I am right now !!!
THIS IS IT dear sis @ anva
we are at our strongest when we are pushed to shove, they shouldn’t underestimate the strength of JYJ worldwide fandom…but honestly there are some portions in this news that i don’t welcome….
why the need to mention other entities? why not just focus on JYJ alone after all they came to Peru solo. And as @jenknight18 said earlier, i would rather call it JYJ-POP!!! or JYJ Mania, period.
It is so true with me @jyj1214 sister… I am only JYJ POP ..Honestly I know following any other band !!!
same here sis @anva
i’m only investing my all in JYJ only
although i also appreciate other bands, but i only spend this much energy, time, money with JYJ only
oh i wish the blues will go away
so JYJ can be happy again
LOl..I mean “dont follow ” ^___^
yes!
What bothers me the most is that no matter how horribly the K-pop world treats them at home and excludes them forcibly from everything K-pop, as soon as they go overseas and show how popular they are, suddenly they are K-pop. It’s only when they want to steal the credit from JYJ and give it to K-pop that they use that term.
I am only a JYJ fan, not K-pop at all.
exactly!!! when they go overseas and have something big, they become to “lead of Halllyu wave”, and when they come back “home”, they so-callled “outcast”……..
kpop…KBS music bank will come to my place…and i dont even care…without JYJ–>no other band….
I would be there or whereever I know JYJ needed my support!!!
HELL YES I WOULD BE WITH THE FANS…..JYJ FIGHTING FOREVER!!!!!!!!!
JYJ fighting!!!
True. I feel like I need to support JYJ now more than ever.
JYJ 파이팅!!!
I support JYJ always, and love them more than ever, especially right now.
And please, not all JYJ fans are Kpop fans. I personally resent this inaccurate generalization. I have no love for Kpop whatsoever, not when the industry environment is so obviously corrupt, hostile and incredibly backwards. I am not impressed with the music nor the industry culture at this point.
JYJ is in a league all of their own. None can compare. They belong to the world. Korea should seriously learn to appreciate them more. The rest of the world obviously does.

I agree… me too.. not interest at all..
Dear sis @ Emma Lin & @ anva..
It is called JYJPop, my dear. JYJPop. :). It sounded so cool when fellow JYJers mentioned it here. 🙂
I second that. They belong to the world.
Entertainment agencies produces idols.
JYJ creates themselves.
Not the same thing. NOT.AT.ALL.
@ Emma Lin
exactly! not all JYJ fans are Kpop fans…just like me, im a JYJ fan only,they are the only kpop i follow.
We are stronger now because we see too many wimpy giants drawing their swords at JYJ’s neck. They’re just 3 young men, but sometimes it feels like the whole intertainment world in both Korea and Japan is after them. That’s too unfair in anybody’s eyes. Since the boys don’t have anybody to fight for them, we the fans will do their battles (as much as we can) for them. Just by being there when they need us most.
Never underestimate the power of fans. Eventually we’re the one who will spend our money to whoever or whatever we like. Even SM artists will be nothing if we dont buy em. I define myself as jyj fan, therefore i only listen to jyj music, not kpop.
Jaejoong, junsu, yoochun..we’ll always support you. Please be strong and keep ur head up. Fighting! Fans also, fighting!:)
All For One and One For All …. or was it the other way round. Ohhh… it doesn’t matter. I’m glad and thrill that I got to know them.
“Would you be out there with the fans if you were in the country?”
YES, I WILL, I WILL
kekekekeke….
Maybe it is the troll inside me BUT I love the very subtle dig!!!
Good Golly I am soo going to burn!!!
OF COURSE JFK airport didn’t have to deal with this kind of security!! It is because JYJ wasn’t there!
You bet your pants off when JYJ does use that airport JYJPOP fans will be out there in full force!!
Deep breath now………. Ohhhh it is soo good to get that troll out of my system!!!!
Well South Korea.. you are bringing shame to your own country by doing all that you have done to our boys…
There is a thing call the World Wide Web aka the INTERNET!
All your dirty doings and shameful acts will eventually be exposed… Just remember Lady Karma is not merciful to those that do not recognize their sins.
Thank you PERU!!! You are showing soo much love and support to JYJ I am eternally grateful!!
Jaejoong FIGHTING!!
Yoochun FIGHTING!!!
Junsu FIGHTING!!
JYJ FIGHTING!!!
PERU FIGHTING!!!
And darn it! I forgot one of the most important one too!!! Soo sorry!!!…. >.<
JYJPOP FANS FIGHTING!!!!!!!
^______________^ sis…so glad to see you.. are you feel better now? ….come to see our boys do amazing ..and wonderful love from SA fans …when they have all the abuse from their own country medias ,,,it so touch ^______________^ …please take care sis I wish you all the best !
You caught that too?!
Hahah^^ I was smiling oh so smirkly when I read that! LOL^*
This kind of headline is definitely what sm dont want. Is this korean news? Or peruvian? I hope someone send this article to jyj boys, cjes, and sm and kbs..let them know who has the real fans now..I bet jyj has the most sincere fans right now, cause we dont follow them only because they r good lookin or can dance, we follow them by heart. Take that haters!
Damm why did I read akp’s article on kbs’s shit saesang show ?! Can’t believe a govnt channel is promoting bad stuff like stalking to make JYJ look bad ……..what next kbs ?! JYJ , YOU ARE MY NO 1 K GROUP FOREVER , haters can’t get to me !
Despite the recent controversy that has hit the group, fan support looks to be at the strongest point it has ever reached.
THIS!!!! Thank you Peru fans…keep supporting them…I love you guys..
The more Korean media and those people gang up in JYJ and JYJ fans, the more we’re gonna show we will always support JYJ.
It’s a Siege mentality that is caused by the oppression to JYJ.
If Korea don’t want them, the rest of the world will welcome them with open arms!!!
