The first TV appearance of the 3 men of JYJ was horrible. It was nothing new but an ‘exhumation’ in order to confirm the assault (T/N: originally부관참시, which literally means to dig up [a person’s] corpse and behead it). The entertainment program of Saturday, which has been coveting the ratings of 10% and boasting about the tradition of dozens of years, exposed the existence of ‘saseang fan’ but I wonder if we had to make do with its significance.
On the 10th, <Entertainment Relay> of KBS 2TV covered the JYJ – sasaeng fans controversy that has recently surfaced. On the 6th, a media unveiled the ‘JYJ assaulting fans’ audio file which was recorded in 2009. JYJ got involved in an ‘assault controversy’.
Among K-POP groups, JYJ is the first group ever to hold a South America tour. They have held an official press conference in Chile on the 8th (local time). They officially apologized and expressed their pain, “Because sasaeng fans are also fans, we thought that we should also endure such excessive love. But in such indescribable pain, our daily life collapsed. We just want to ask them to at least let us live a human life.”
However, after informing that the audio file was edited, <Entertainment Relay> let us hear from the position of the sasaeng fan who was on the spot at that time instead of JYJ’s voice, reigniting the assault controversy. In addition, before the broadcast, <Entertainment Relay> was caught under fire for asking for tips about ‘the stars’ secret photos and videos’ through its official website and openly giving notice that tipping fee would be given.
The sasaeng fan that can’t realize the seriousness of the problem, “He only told me to come and I got only one tap.”
“It was recorded by a sister who was with me; I didn’t know that that sister has spread (the audio file). I got only one tap, I let out the ‘ah’ sound and the gasp sound is also mine. I didn’t get hit that much. He only told me to come and I got only one tap.”
In the voice of an anonymous sasaeng fan which <Entertainment Relay> interviewed, we couldn’t find the seriousness of the situation. We can see that the producers didn’t even question the psychology or think about the concrete situation regarding the acts of the ‘sasaengs’ who stalk the stars. They only briefly checked on the time and the situation before airing the program.
Indeed, they explained that ‘the fans who follow the celebrities and dig all their privacy are passionate fans’ and tied it up with an interview of general fans, introduced sasaeng fans as normal fans. On the other hand, the voice of JYJ Kim Jaejoong in the audio file was broadcasted numerous times. Nonetheless, the voices of JYJ’s members who have officially apologized during the press conference in Chile were nowhere to be heard.
However, at the time JYJ left for South America, <Entertainment Relay> was airing the interview with the reporter of related media (T/N: Dispatch). What was worse, through that interview, they added more reliability to the article by emphasizing the violence, “The singers have different ways to deal with it. In some degree, although there were some singers who have verbally abused, I think it was quite actually shocking to do violence.”
In the absence of JYJ? An investigative report that failed to convey a balanced voice.
Through a lawyer, they confirmed that JYJ’s act could be considered as assault but there was no penalty. “Since this assault is ‘no-prosecution-contrary-to-intent’, if the victim doesn’t sue, the artists won’t be punished.”
On the other hand, <Entertainment Relay> also demonstrated a superb beauty of editing. The remarks of a pop music critic were suitably disposed in order to meet the intention of the producers.
“Sasaeng fans are stalkers. Since it has come this far, wouldn’t they be seen as stalkers? Those acts could certainly be prosecuted.” <Entertainment Relay> has arranged this remark of the critic in the first half of the program and “In the perspective of the stars or of those who protect the stars, they shouldn’t be punished for using violent method to protect their given rights,” in the second half, showing that they want to shift all the responsibility of this assault controversy to JYJ.
The reporter’s comment was, “Obviously, there is problem with the fans that violated the stars’ private life. However, the extreme reaction of the stars was not right either. A more mature attitude is needed.” It was no more than a typical ‘both-side’ theory that stands on mechanical neutrality. We couldn’t hear anything from JYJ’s side, how can this report be considered as an in-depth coverage?
We will give you tipping fee, please give us the stars’ secret photos and videos~!
The insufficient and irritating report of <Entertainment Relay> was already predicted. On the 10th, via the viewers’ tipping board on its website, <Entertainment Relay> has given a notice which read, “Please send us tips about the stars’ secret photos and videos that only you know! Tipping fee will be given to those who are chosen.” Instead of stamping out sasaeng’s act, they encouraged it.
Also, they have met a sasaeng fan who have been active from TVXQ days and asked her if the ‘assault incident’ of Kim Jaejoong and Park Yoochun that had been surfaced recently was true and asked her about the actual activities of sasaeng fans.
In addition, <Entertainment Relay> has given a provocative notice that they had in hand an another audio file in which there was Kim Jaejoong who had to suffer from sasaeng fans during his vacation and Kim Junsu who caught sasaeng taxi and tussled, which is said to be able to show the extreme stress and the painful feelings of JYJ due to sasaeng fans.
They have also added, “You will be able to see vividly the true nature and the problems of sasaeng fans, to see if the violent act of the artist toward hardcore fans, to see the status of the so-called ‘sasaeng taxi’ hired to chase after the celebrities, the daily routine and the psychology of sasaeng fans, the reaction of each celebrity to sasaeng fan, ect.” But this much information wasn’t adequately conveyed in 5 minutes of edited screen.
JYJ’s first real debut in KBS’s entertainment program has come to an end like this.
It’s a well-known fact that, due to the uncomfortable relationship with SM, group JYJ that is comprised of former TVXQ’s members has been working as ‘faceless singers’ in TV entertainment programs. In the broadcast on the 10th of <Entertainment Relay>, JYJ has the first real debut in KBS’s entertainment program. However, only the voice of Kim Jaejoong in the audio file, the cut from music video, the cut from the performance in 2010 <KBS Drama Awards> and a short video of the press conference in Chile were aired.
JYJ’s fans are strongly objecting to this report of <Entertainment Relay>. From the airing day till the 11th, there was hundreds of protesting writing in its viewers’ bulletin.
The ID ‘vipchj’ has criticized <Entertainment Relay> as below.
“Firstly, during these 2 years, JYJ have been vigorously active more than any artist. You haven’t reported about it even once but only reported about sasaeng-related issue. Secondly, today the very first South America concert of Korean artist was held in Chile but you didn’t mention about it at all. Thirdly, you didn’t report in detail how long sasaeng fans have been stalking JYJ but only simply reflected them as hardcore fans. Fourthly, all the fans already felt angry toward the report. Nonetheless, after finishing the program, the main MCs even exchanged jokes about sasaeng, which made us feel like we were fools. Fifthly, you compared them, who have been idols and have been suffering the severe harassments of sasaeng for 9 years, who were in very difficult time due to the conflict with former agency, with normal celebrities.”
Via SNS, the followed line was repeatedly retweeted, “I want KBS Entertainment Relay to be abolished. RT! Let’s see how much it will be retweeted!”
Eventually, I doubt whether <Entertainment Relay> shed light on JYJ assault issue from various angles, whether it properly distinguished between right and wrong regarding the assault, whether it dealt in a balanced way with the seriousness of sasaeng fans that have been rebuked by the public after the assault case has surfaced online. JYJ’s first real debut in KBS’s entertainment program has come to an end like this.

i bloody cant believe it..THIS MUCH assault on JYJ..oh fuck u KBS!!!DX
This is the 2nd time that KBS and Entertainment Relay has tried to deliberately sabatoge artists that they view as “anti-KBS. ET did this early on when Big Bang recently came back with their new mini album “Alive” and did a so-called “in-depth” interview with the mother of the son that died accidentally involving Daesung. So it’s no surprise that KBS’ ET would give such a blatantly one-sided interview regarding the extreme fan syndrome with JYJ and DBSK. It’s also ironic that they didn’t report on the woman who slapped Yoochun merely so that he would remember her. That’s KBS for you. No journalistic integrity or ethics whatsoever. Sad.
can we burn KBS??? who’s jumping on a flight with me to drop the bomb???
@jen lets go I just want to burn down that station,it dared to report JYJ success in Chile without JYJ name,damn I hate KBS
I’ll provide you with the gasoline and a match…
I’m right with you. I will bring extra bombs.
I am so over this shit. Sorry to cuss.
Korean press just focus on Chile, Peru and JYJ’s world tour records.
Someone should tweet all Korean press, the video about JYJ breaking records.
this need to be spread out so people know JJ didn’t hit a crazy fan
in your face KBS!
JYJ fighting!
What an irony,first time debut in entertainment section with one sided edited audio.They gave courtesy to that sasseng to speak,what shock me most is she is talking about that in nothing important,they stalk them & shove camera to their face,touch in appropriate areas,slap them,go into their house,install CCTV like it is a normal thing,like it is suppose to be usual as day & night.I want JYJ to stand up for themselves,actually I am content to know Jae responded,I look up to JYJ a lot.I want my men to stand up & fight back if a girl touch them in appropriate area,is not men if he just let other do what they want & walk with head keeping low.Be a men eat them alive,act as a lady if u want to get a treatment as lady,if u act as a b**ch then,u will get treatment according to it.
true.. true.. true.. im not count then as a women actually! sasaeng said they’re only a normal girl? No!! Normal girl wouldn’t let her pride down by acting like B*tch!!!!
Total agree !!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!! I completely agree. I didn’t feel bothered by Jae’s response at all. People will only take so much.
K(orea) B(iggest) S(asaeng)
KBShit
Korea Bullshit Station
K(nown) B(ithc) of S(M)
HEAR HEAR!
YEAH!
That the real definition of KBS!
i hate u KBS >< gooooo to hell
When is this issue going to enddddddddddd??? Cant they see how much they mentally hurt JYJ already and ESP. Jaejoongggggggggg????? Yoochun and Junsu are stronger than Jaejoong when it comes to stuff like that. I remember in SBS morning when they said Junsu thinks postively and forgets and Yoochun ignores everything while Jaejoong takes it all in his heart and thats why he cries alottt behind the scenes T__T JJ oppa is very sensitive from the insideeee and cares so muchhh for his fanss. Those sasaeng fans who thought JJ apologized for them, while JJ actually apologized for his fans :(:( When i heard his say sorry, I wanted so much to hug himmmmm and tell him that if we search all over the globe, we will never find a star like you ❤
SO….Sasaengs….SM….KBS….Haters….BURN IN HELLLLLL :@:@
JYJ know the truth, We (Their true Fans) know the truthhh, we will FOREVER support our boys and you can die with your jealousy !!!
those sasseng dare to think Jae apologize for them,he said clearly he apologize to end his fan agony.

JYJ the more wronged the more loved just hang in there ❤
A++++++
i love your comment
The sad truth of all this nonsense is that KBS is not capable of doing the right thing. What they keep missing is that they are going to be odd man out at the end of the day. All other news sources will so the right thing, and be on the winning side. KBS, no. But this is their choice. Since this program already aired and has not done anymore damage than it could, I say don’t continue to freak out over it. Knowing the details of the program is not going to change the fact. Frankly, the talking heads are just that. The corporate head could give a fig.
What I’m hoping for, a change in the government come November and a cleaning of house! That will make ALL the difference in the world!
I’ve changed browsers for a test and hope my regular gravatar comes up. 🙂 So far, I’m not liking the default sub. 🙂
Ok KBS, different day, same S**T. Nothing new here…NEXT!!!
this artcle is a thing good or bad? 😕
It’s a good thing because it is reporting what was wrong with the KBS story.
There is a real news story here, and JYJ are not angels in it, but are human beings who have been pushed to the breaking point. Could they have behaved better? Yes, they could have, and they apologized for their poor choices. However, the circumstances that brought them to this point are extreme and the actions of the sasaengs are criminal. That is the bigger story here which KBS has completely ignored and which this article and others like it have been bringing into the light.
I hope this is only the beginning of a backlash for both KBS and Dispatch …. people aren’t just going to buy any crap you try to feed .
let’s trend #KBSGOTOHELL to tell the world truth
I deffientely agree with you we should trend that. Or trend #KBSrespectJYJ
ok….
So…it been…how many days?
stil..”K-MEDIA” keep on circulating KBS-JYJ-Sangseng-Issue
so i wonder…
whats their (K-Media) ‘real’ agenda?
to hope ‘some-authorities’ to takes action on this issue(?)
or…they wanted to cover-up YJ-Chillie-Peru-Success-Concerts-NEWS from public eyes(?)
*JYJ
sorry
*JYJ*
sorry..i cannot edit my upper comment o.o
I don’t want anything bad to happen to kbs; what I want however is for kbs to be dissolved as a public entity funded by its taxpayers. Close kbs’s doors and let them scatter around the world. Of course, kbs sides with the say is because for the last two years all kbs did — was to continuously and openly harass JYJ. That entity is a bully, a social disease for the society in which it resides, and it needs to go. They need to pay the price for associated with other bullies like sm. I don’t how deep in the gov’t, sm’s fingers are, but I hope someone let the public know what all these disgruntled people are doing to this country’s youth.
Btw, I don’t doubt for a minute that this attach was directed to jj because they know how much people live him, and how kind he is towards everyone. Let’s stay prepared because these are disgruntled people as sick as sasaeng, so they will not stop at anything.
What was in their minds asking on their website for private information about artists in exchange of money? Why are all the other artists keep their mouths quiet? Don’t they know that it can be them anytime?
There is such an ingrained culture of fear in k- ent that is not even funny.
My iPhone autocorrect is driving me insane. So sorry for mistakes
KBS lost it’s credibility a long time ago. Their biased reporting has no effect on me. JYJ has proven that they are strong enough to withstand this. Let’s move on and make the concert news #1 instead.
Ok KBS, different day, same S**T, nothing new here…NEXT!!!!
Ok, this repeat came after I thought the first one did not go over. Excuse me.
hi there Butterfliesarefree honey ,
i can’t believe this channel,
but i really hurt someone says JYJ reaction is a mistake , they don’t get abuse , when someone feels there is no way out from this abuse they are suffering , receiving no help whatsoever , the most painful thing is u can’t get help that’s it a person feels there is no escape from pain , that’s why i always say a victim is never to be judged no one can say if their self-defence was wrong , people may not like it but hopelessness and helplessness breaks a person , dignity being taking away is sever pain so the victim lashes out there hands go out before they can contain themselves they want the person hurting them to stop. entertainment rely never shed light on saseng thievery physical abuse sexual harassment and car crashing damn them , on saseng blog i read translation of a saseng making fun of injuring changmin’s hand, another ,making fun of stealing Yoochun’s bank account, entertainment relay can just go and see what stalkers post and they’ll learn of the crimes committed. physical injury , emotional abuse invasion of privacy, harassment sexual harassment. JYJ are desperate for their privacy first but who wouldn’t be that the first thing anyone want to protect. right now their right to have privacy is what they want most and this is one felony of so many sasengs committed against these boy.
But my friend, the main issue is that none of these issues really matter to the ‘invisible hands’ out there. They know full well the ‘art of manipulation’, and how to use it. This entire scenario is being ORCHESTRATED. People’s minds are being played with. It’s a version of the Stockholm Syndrome. Create a scenario and convince your captive that this is the reality, nothing else matters. If you hold the captive’s attention long enough, they begin to believe regardless of the truth or non-truth as the case may be.
They are hoping to wear folks down. Their efforts can only be successful if people continue to fall for their shenanigans. That is what I loved about the video from the Moroccan Cassies. It clearly demonstrates that most fans are not going to fall for this BS. So, as long as KBS wants to continue, let them. Remember, every time they have tried, they have come up on the short losing end. Ultimately, when this lawsuit is over, KBS will be eating some major crow. I don’t mind chipping in for a silver platter to serve it to them on. 😉
oh kbs, please continue to give SK a righteous image ….. NOT!!!
SME
” We will give you tipping fee, please give us the stars’ secret photos and videos~! ”
so thin is how SM monitors their idols and blackmails them into staying in SM
lee soo man is a man still wanted by the Interpol , one of his crimes , among various money corruption cases , is called Entertainment corruption, maybe this spying is related to the Entertainment corruption issue. if it wasn’t then they haven’t discovered it yet , i know that, that sexual bribery is part of the entertainment corruption issue on soo mans a** as well as fee payment manipulation , (proof JYJ had been cheated of their money during their work days under sm ) maybe if they dig up for more now i bet 100% they’d discover spying and black mail i bet. no wonder kbs encourages youth to commit crimes of privacy invasion including saseng taxi methods and abusing the artist continuously enough to force them into reaction.
i don’t trust the saseng in the vid either. saseng are two faced , just wait till they are alone with the artist . grope and hit the artist tryying to stell his key house , blocking his car with saseng taxi’s chasing them on the street till JYJ crashes their car. are they trying to kill JYJ and other people on the street ? this is like murder attempt.
the fact that i read this article from bottom to above cause i think it can help me to control my anger. i don’t know how to voice my sad, my sorry, my disappointed about what happened to our precious JYJ. why so many people in the music industry wronged them. they make a living with music, art flowing in their blood so why are this people trying so hard to put them down.
I hope they continue to succeed, because in my belief, God is always helping the oppressed.
“Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ”
(Matthew 5:10 )
Sometimes I got doubt about this verse, but watching JYJ’s journey against those powerful alliance, this got to be true.
And it is a human instinct to protect the weak from the mighty, if there’s an imbalance of power, people tend to have a soft part to the weaker one, and enraged when the stronger still plays dirty despite the disparity of power.
Now, all I can say with these turn of events and JYJ’s success is that:
SM/KBS and all their alliance —-EPIC FAIL
while JYJ is having an EPIC SUCCESS !
do i have to move to south korea to teach those media how to write a good news?? I was a journalist and i can do better than them!
Sasaeng news again? Oh come on, k-media.. don’t you have anything new to put on the news? Give me a break… there’s a lot of news out there…try to find the good one…how about your national treasure? JYJ? do you know them? I’ll bet you do..unfortunately, you too arrogant to acknowledge their achievement… well, everyone knows what will happen to those kind of people…miserable is the best word to describe it 🙂
JYJ has a big heart regarding to this issues and I’m so proud of them…
last but not least… will all my heart, i put the greatest salute to JYJ for their professionalism…their truly the real artist with the big heart 🙂
“For those with a big heart, even impossible tasks become possible”
to my fellow jyj-ers, lets move on from this sasaeng…. it’s time to open new chapter…. leave your anger behind.. put the most beautiful smile on your face…..and proudly say….
I’m JYJ fans….the world star ^^
I’m with you @yuya_chan 😀
I think this issue is just to switch off the SM vs JYJ lawsuit issue
because SM and its minions are already know that they can’t beat JYJ
so lame….
while stewing about this article, as irony would have it Epik High’s ‘Fan’ came on my i-tunes. How appropriate for them that even phycho’s are called ‘fan’s, they bestow more rights and humanity onto these problemed girls instead of JYJ. Clearly the mentality is ‘Fans are still fans, they are still human, shit happens. but JYJ are’nt human, they tapped a girl, they are SCUM, i declare you officially have no human rights and therefore shall be ridiculed by the nation on TV and we shall not even report your side of the arguement’ – im fuming at the unfair treatment more than ever!
every time there’s a JYJ issues.. KBS is involved.. isnt it weird ??? isnt it obvious that KBS is SME’s bitch?!?!?!?!
So while JYJ is having a tour in South America, BREAKING RECORDS, and making fan girls faint, one of SM’s puppets (AKA bitch) is joking and bring this shit up instead of what JYJ is accomplishing right now. Great move KBS!! Now everyone LOVES you huh? Airing this crap even though it was already proven the dispatch was EDITED.
Braaavo!!
Sorry, anyone here live in VietNam, KBS will bring Music bank to VietNam on 15/3/2012, should we let them know what we are thinking, or show our support to JYJ ???
sadly, i don’t expect any else of them. but, the more they try to defame jyj, the more kbs is proven to be immature and wrong on all counts, so if this is how the truth is exposed and their true intentions are revealed, so be it. cause jyj will continue to be their awesome selves and we fans will continue to support and love them even more! the lines are becoming clearer and clearer on who is good and who is evil.
SM&KBS go to hell !!!!!!!
“Because sasaeng fans are also fans, we thought that we should also endure such excessive love. But in such indescribable pain, our daily life collapsed. We just want to ask them to at least let us live a human life.”
–> Is that too much to ask? They are humans wanting to live human lives. No human should constantly keep begging to be granted such a wish by people who supposedly “love” them.
This report is full of bullsh*t. No other artist has had to endure what DBSK/JYJ are constantly enduring. Even Bigbang, one of the biggest groups in SK, do not know what sasaeng taxis are. How can these reporters possibly associate JYJ’s situation with that of any other idol? With their own lives, acting like they know how it feels to have 150 lunatics constantly stalking your every move enough to just joke about it and make us all look like overreacting fools? Insensitive, inconsiderate and unprofessional!
just Keep on BullShitting~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! arrrrghhhh~!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my tummy is in pain and these idiots are making it worse!!!!!
dito na lang kayo sa pinas, jyj… potek…
first i was surprised how entertainment relay has failed to broadcast the separation of TVXQ…i was expecting as i was watching but got nothing. ok fine…then they dont even mention these guys EVER!! i keep watching and all they broadcast is about drama stars whom im not even interested in. i bet no one is!!!! but they do broadcast abt those fucking damn suju and shinee.
yeah kbs you’re so going to lose everyone’s respect. after lots of 1n2d-ers marched off when you kicked off two of your most hardworking casts, you stirred up another mess with big bang’s comeback and pretty much will make you can’t get yg artists in your show, you can now forget about casting jyj in your drama oukr variety. in. your. face!
why all these things happened to jyj??they are so cruel and heartless..sm,kbs and the stupid bitch fans are not humans but devils..poor our jyj esp our lovely jj,always have to face those devils..that is not jj’s fault,it’s theirs..they don’t not the true meaning of a fan..they are not fans but crazy people..we as fans must support them not stalking like crazy..jj have enough of that..please,if don’t make him hurt anymore..
i’m sick of this. I can’t stand it anymore. JYJ this and JYJ that. Enough is enough.
LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!
They have enough of sad news already.
I don’t think they can stand it anymore if this keep up.
They are human not animal.
They just want to live like normal people.
Why can people just leave them alone??
I love JYJ so much that it hurts me to see them going through this.
Because I love them so much that I don’t want them to suffer anymore.
The only way they can live normal is to moved far far away that anyone recognized them or disband. Never be in the news again. This is sad for me to say this but enough is enough. I can’t bear to see them suffer anymore.
How much can a person take? They don’t deserved this.
I’m not them and I can’t even take all this….
My opinion only!!!! I don’t mean to offend anyone!!!
JYJ is a great group; I really think it’s the most unfair that all the broadcasting companies along with SM go against them. Sure, this does involve the court and their contract, but treating them like the ultimate item to make fun of and conspire against is really too much. They are three very talented people, yet they are getting extreme unfair treatment from the Korean entertainment industry(TV-wise) and especially SME.
I really hope they would be treated fairly soon, that no group of people(anti fans, sasaeng) one would emphasize and incidents that happen or even purposely ruin their public image. Junsu, Yoochun and Jaejoong are hard-working individuals who deserve to be treated as regular artists in the entertainment industry, just like the other groups. I also really hope they resolve the court case and win against SME so that they would break out into more success not only in Korea, but internationally. I’m glad that their presence as actors rose
after acting in many dramas (& musicals), proving to their conspirators(and people who don’t respect them) that they are capable of success even with the suppression of the major broadcasting companies.
The frustration they feel must be unbearable. How do they take all of this? The pain they must’ve felt from all the whole controversy starting from their contract to crazy sasaeng fans to biased broadcasts, I’m just glad they’ve made it this far and hopefully they’ll continue to prove that they are a group that would not give in. They will always receive the never ending support from their fans. From a fan’s point of view, it’s ridiculous! It hurts to hear all the news of JYJ treated unjustly and how they are unable to appear on broadcasts nor ever mentioned on the news(on tv). The only reason SME is pushing the court dates further and further away is that they obviously want to stop the success of JYJ and ultimately crush them.
Honestly, SME’s wishes will never be granted; the group JYJ will always be active and never cease to bloom in the industry. Even with the restrictions of promoting their albums and all of their activities, they will succeed without a doubt. Lee Soo Man should seriously let them GO and stick to the groups he still owns at SME. He could make money with all the other groups labelled with SME and invest more money on TVXQ(with Yunho and Changmin), but he should really give it a rest on blocking and restricting the activities of these three talented young men. JYJ has been suffering enough and this treatment should end, SME should move on just like they did with Shinwa. Rather than focusing on stopping JYJ, SME should end the case and try to compete fairly as a record label and talent agency. They should promote and continue to invest their own groups and stop trying to chase the artists that clearly want to break off ties with them. SME’s actions since the three broke off from the company are really despicable and extremely unfair to the members of JYJ.
Junsu, Yoochun and Jaejoong are talented and noteworthy human beings who shouldn’t be treated like restrained, money-making objects to SME and the industry. JYJ♥ fighting! ^^
