daebaksama
My Gawd, I got some confession tonite! I don’t know what to do w/ myself. Thanks for your sweet love. Now, my confession…today I was such a lazy bum…all I did was eat and lazy around like sloth.
Hello @daebaksama
Congratulations – finally! 🙂
To @all , wish i could stay longer and join in your interesting and very stimulating conversations,
but i’ve work today
Just want to express my gladness to see many commenters here today, and some “old” JYJ3 regulars back in circulation 🙂
Looking forward to interacting with all of you and thanks @daebaksama for starting with an interesting topic below.
All the best, let’s keep on loving JYJ 🙂
Some will argue that most conflict is cultural in nature; that we misunderstand each other because of how we were brought up, socialized, the values we believe in. Here is a snippet about of the matter at hand: http://www.international.gc.ca/cfsi-icse/cil-cai/magazine/v01n02/1-2-eng.asp
What do you think how much of our own/ yours cultural background influence the way you interact/respond/react to conflict in your personal/work/ and everyday relationships and interactions. Please, note that conflict in my opinion is not something that is bad, conflict can help us grow and help us know each other, and become more efficient/effective in our relationships. I look forward to hear what everyone has to say.
My friend, what you’re stating is true but not when the conflict turns to be vicious and insane. I’ve seen such behaviour more than once on GAPP. That’s why I restrain myself from commenting here most of the time. I already have my personal stressing issues to add one more in the place that helps me to free my daily tensions. It’s like my own version of “Hakuna Matata” LOL
@shuheilove
I beg to differ with your assertion that the conflict as seen surfacing in JYJ3 of late is “vicious and insane.” I think suppressed and unresolved conflicts are way more detrimental because only then will our inner venom be spitted at the wrong directions – not to where it can be resolved but to, say, the boys themselves. Without offering my personal opinion on the issue, I really appreciated @intoxicatedbyxiahtic (very creative name by the way) for raising her voice about it, since I would really hate to imagine the alternative scenario where the unexpressed tensions eventually find a different channel to explode. Not that I want to continue beating a dead horse, but after all what we need to remind ourselves is simply that everyone has their own biases, and that when respect is given to others it will find the way back to you.
I think generally speaking, one’s attitude toward conflicts is largely influenced by whether their cultural background orients toward individualism (Western cultures) or collectivism (Eastern cultures). Individualistic cultures directly and assertively prioritize the rights of individuals, so assertively in fact that sometimes they can come off as rude and provoking, whereas collectivist cultures emphasize the interests of a group, thereby rendering self-restraint and moderation essential in lessening discordance and eluding confrontation. However, moving past the first-reaction contentions and contestations, I believe the methods of resolving conflicts are universal – we all just need to make small compromises to satisfy the goals and needs of everyone involved. A win-win situation is achievable in our situation, considering the substantial ground we have in common.
Yup: the difference between Western/ individualistic and Eastern/collectivistic. I am all for compromises, but to make those compromises, we need to understand to where are the parties involved coming from. We say here in USA, something like (not sure, if this verbatim ): your freedom starts where my freedom ends, or my freedom starts where your freedom ends. If small compromises was all it took, then we would not have wars, conflicts within the same national borders may not happen, people who are citizens of the same country, but belong to different ethnicities, religion, and sexual orientation, will indeed live peacefully. Let’s have more I love where this is going.
Dear, I think you misunderstood what I meant. I didn’t say ALL the conflicts on JYJ3 were vicious and insane; I meant sometimes the conflicts turned to be vicious and insane; SOMETIMES not always, as not always is possible to solve that issues in an ideal and easy way. Believe me, I know what I am talking about.
@daebaksama
Yes, I agree that in this world where zero-sum economics reigns, small compromises sometimes will never be attained, even if they are indeed all that it takes. Leaving aside serious issues like global warming or African famine, psychologists would still have to agree that even in everyday interpersonal conflicts, a lose-lose settlement is the most common type of conflict resolution. However, zooming in to our own circumstances, I hope you agree with me that to various extents, we all feel a special emotional attachment to this site – that’s why most veterans are coming back at what seems to me the verge of chaos 😉 The optimistic person in me concludes that we will eventually be able to make everyone happy.
@shuheilove
I thought that given the context, it is natural to assume that you’re referring to one particular conflict that has recently been expressed. 🙂 Nevertheless, since I don’t want to be kept hanging, I’m going to assume ahead that I also understand what you’re talking about, and I want to say that please be optimistic, we eventually will be able to figure it out! ^__^
@wicked angel (@wickedangel4) I don’t think that our interactions on this site are any different of any interactions we would have in so called real-life ( cause this as real as it gets). This site is probably a smaller “playground” for what we encounter in real life situations. I am a cynical and skeptical person (yes, I am), and for me optimism is as good as the next ten seconds, because it doesn’t have a foundation to stand on. I believe that as people, we are motivated by incentives, and if we are too zoom in on this site, I don’t think optimism will be enough to make everyone happy. Every individual wants to be acknowledged as a valued human being, to do that we need to know his/her values/principles/ beliefs currency.
@daebaksama
I disagree. JYJ3 and its net of interactions cannot be likened to real-life situations without over-stretching the metaphor, because unlike the relational structure that is the real-world which we are thrown in and get roughed up by, where many of us struggle to get the most out of its turmoil yet sometimes, *melodramatic self-reflection moment >__<

@shuheilove
The wise forgive but do not forget, right? ^_^ Either way, I'm happy to hear it was resolved.
Cultural conflict easily arises but on the other hand is also easily avoided with some care and research of the involved parties. Its my opinion that in a world that is becoming increasingly more global, cultural misunderstandings are becoming less and less but it is the individual social conflicts that come to the surface.
Take for instance, a situation I found myself in when I was in Iraq. I had to work with a tribal leader who very much did not like women. Me, being all girly replete with girly parts, was not a person he wanted to collaborate with, listen to, or take counsel from. Now this was a cultural difference between his culture and mine in which the area I was in did not value the thoughts and opinions of women. I spent a few days being a mute, just observing him, his likes and dislikes, his opinions and interactions, and I found a way to overcome that cultural barrier. People said, there’s no way your going to make this work, that they should assign a male soldier to handle the tribal leader, but we managed to persevere and work together.
It seems where the real conflict lies is not in cultural values but individual/personal values. In my situation, the tribal leader had a personal value that led him to supersede his cultural value of not working with women. However should his personal value have been in conflict with my mission, I would have spent the entire time being a mute or assigning someone of the male variety to take over my position.
And this is where I think our sensitivity lies when dealing with conflict on this site. I’m guilty of it myself on countless occasions and have yet to figure out how to not become reactionary and inflammatory without distancing myself entirely from this community. While we have our common love of JYJ, we each have our own set of personal values, to which we defend to the death should the need arise. The value itself doesn’t much matter, but it is the questioning of said value in which conflict arises. It shakes our core, our foundation, and we immediately reject any such notion that is in conflict with our personal values.
Culturally speaking, I think we get along quite beautifully. I’m amazed by how many different backgrounds and countries members of this community come from and while there is the occasional poster with shaky english that gets misunderstood, I think it’s no more common than a fluent english speaker being misunderstood because all we have is the interpretation of their words. And our interpretation will forever be colored by our own personal values and sensitive to any “attack” we percieve on our values.
@mkverse, “It seems where the real conflict lies is not in cultural values but individual/personal values” But how did he form that value of consider women less than equal to him. If you look at how women are treated in that particular country, you will see that this was a cultural and social value that he learned throughout his life. To say that the way he treated you was a personal value, will undermine the bigger problem existent in the country, and in many countries of the world where women are still second class citizens, where baby girls are killed at birth, where women can’t own any propriety. For example, if in America, we considered that what KKK did was a personal value, and all we needed to do is just see how they work, we wouldn’t be able to change the plight of African Americans. We would think, that KKK actions was an isolated situation, and there is no reason for policies and such. What do you think?
@ daebaksama, seems there is a misunderstanding. I was saying that his value of women is cultural but was overridden by his personal value which he held higher than cultural, which led to my conclusion that personal values supersede cultural. Sorry if I wasn’t clearer.
I like The Platinum Rule. I tend to feel conflict is bad, even though logically I know that isn’t necessarily the case, & I usually end up feeling swamped with wanting to resolve the conflict, even more swamped with guilt if I’ve caused it, while at the same time wanting the autonomy to state my own opinion. Tbh, my logical side & my emotional side are so far apart that I probably end up confusing everyone else as much as I confuse myself, & will continue to do so until I’ve managed to integrate both sides into one!! Sorry for being so contrary & confusing peeps!!
Don’t say sorry for being human!! I find all our individual quirks and neurosis extremely entertaining. Often I find myself posting emotionally and the reposting a more logical stance. Or I start a post emotional and end it logical. And people don’t seem to like the emotional side of my opinion so my logical stance is dismissed. I feel bad about it, but what can I say, that’s who I am.
“Don’t walk behind me; I may not lead. Don’t walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.” ~ Albert Camus
That will come with time, and I will argue it has to do w/ the way you were socialized, the culture/ values you grew up, the fact that you are a woman. And then, there is Sapphire, the individual, who wants to create her own principles, and live by her own values, not those that were taught to her by the group that she belongs to. It’s our individuality that tries to make sense of the world that we live and how do we want to live.
Thank you *hugs you* Letting ourselves & each other be human, with all of our quirks, neurosis, faults & positives, is something we often forget to do. ^___^

@daebaksama
I think that conflict has both positive and negative sides. Conflict is part of our culture to grow as more mature human beings…Conflict shapes our psychological traits. We’ll develop our mind and broaden our perspectives….but too many conflicts will be very exhausted, both to our body and mind……Just try to resolve the conflicts, don’t run away from the conflicts for they will lead to another conflict…..Live peacefully, happily, healthily, and hopefully prosperously. Amen. 😉
Indeed. However, as we live, we can’t avoid conflict. The only time conflict will be avoid is when we cross the other side. Especially, in work environments which are increasingly diverse, we need to learn how to welcome, manage, and solve conflict. It can’t be avoided. Just because we don’t talk about smth that doesn’t mean it will go away. And in a job, we need to talk about things because it affect productivity. What do you think? Tell me more. Let’s look at conflict in different social situations, where we wear different hats: lovers, mothers, sisters, friends, employees, bosses, subordonate….
“I believe the methods of resolving conflicts are universal – we all just need to make small compromises to satisfy the goals and needs of everyone involved. A win-win situation is achievable in our situation, considering the substantial ground we have in common.”
We are always right where belong . Hearts can guide us, hearts can blind us… Still we carry on what we believe >>> JYJ .
I always love this quote : The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing in the right place but to leave tha unsaid wrong thing at tempting moment ” – Lady Dorothy Nevill.
This is for all my JYJ sis – ” Every Woman’s Song – Angela Aki)
In my case, that lion is a lioness and she’s already awake but restrained. She already unleashes herself to chase Jaejoong, Yoochun or Junsu. It depends on the “reigning atmosphere” or maybe in the day of the month 😉
daebaksama, I agree with you… even we have a different culture, belief or opinion the most important things is to learn how to approach, interact, respond and to deliver your compliment or criticism with respect on the feelings of others so that we could not hurt the feelings of other and we also know how to accept criticism because it help us to grow so that we could polish our mistake if ever there is. Thank you for sharing your point of view on this matter 🙂
I agree with you. I think the difficult thing there is that often times people aren’t willing to listen to an opinion, regardless of how tactfully it’s stated, without taking offense or feeling like it’s a personal attack. Tact isn’t my strong point, & as much as I hate to hurt other people’s feelings, & as guilt-ridden as I feel afterwards if I’ve done so, for me ultimately, the truth is all important. Sometimes that is a personal truth, but other times I feel very strongly that it is a universal truth & that no matter how much it hurts, it’s better for all concerned to deal with it, rather than to repress it & let it fester. There are however, people who take umbrage at that, twist what is being said into a personal attack, regardless of how good someone’s intention was, & then attack back. At that point things usually deteriorate fast… Accepting that we are all individuals & respecting that individuality, without feeling threatened or disrespected, while finding common ground to share is I think, a lesson all of us are learning.
@daebaksama
Hmm… This topic is too big >.<
The only thing I can relate to is this concept: "It's not how we fight; it’s what happened after we fight?"
I still don't have the answers yet o.O but one thing for sure life is abundance.
I must learn those lessons once at a time with the right helps from the people who loves me the most. ^^
She is crying a river because once in a blue moon I get to take over the GAPP…like a sama should do everyday! See, what I have to deal with? I give he chocolates and such, and she still cries, bratty kid. @MINMIN.
@daebaksama I’m not crying,*sama*,I’m busy to finish my chocolate..*once in a blue moon*,I love that song,ahh,I remember something,did you watch Japanese drama,*sama*?did you watch*WITH LOVE*?
Hi Sis,
You should!!!!. The sweetest love story ever..
I cried whenever I listened to “Once in the Blue Moon”…. old memories came rushing back..
I asked my cousin to take the Tokyo tower picture when she was there….. wow..this is really a long time ago…
@Sapphire today you’re camping in here a whole day,sister…?!
no ice cream make me sad a little bit but you,you have to wait till Wed. to get your check is a big big..hurt ,come here I ‘ll give you a *big hug *…
I’d give you ice cream, but I’m all out atm… 😦 Can I give you a big hug before I go to bed, & thank you for helping to guide us through yesterday’s storm? I love you. Goodnight JYJ3 family. 🙂
daebaksama
Goodnight. I should sleep, too, and take a break from JYJ world.
Ah well, I can’t let too many know or I’ll never get going!
Jealousy is a terrible sin, @Daebaksama 😉
daebaksama
But, I am such a sinner and I am loving it every time I sin. I WANT TO KNOW HOW TO USE THE EMOTICONS BUT NO ONE TEACHES ME! I am crying in a corner here.
@yssaluvjchunsu I finally slept last night, but I am a greedy person, so I want jaesheep, chunsheep or xiasheep or a combination. Can I have all of them?
@Angel *HUGS & KISSES*
You have walked a long way toward this goal but you have successfully managed. Happy graduation!
Have beautiful deeds, great prospects and good luck! And know that you can always count on us!
lOVE YOU…
😀
It’s officially a new day, well at least in my small portion of the world. I just wanted to say, for me personally, those that feel they cannot post or spam b/c of yesterday’s discussion, I’m truly sorry. That was never my personal intent. I’m a spazz, I spazz with the best of them, and what better thing to spazz over than pics of our beautiful boys. I think the previous GAPP was interesting and a lively debate even if things seemed to get mixed up from time to time. Please don’t let the discussion deter you from spamming your heart out today, I truly don’t think that was anyone’s goal. Peace, love, and happiness and of course, JYJ!!
Hi @ all citizens of JYJ republic;;;;
Happy Sunday. Great concert last night, only watching the pics and fancams….excellent Xia…..
It’s hot again here in Surabaya 😉
Love you all…Thanks admins
@iamypw Ni hao ma? Sorry, I can’t type nor speak Chinese….but my precious co-worker is from China. She’s cute. Welcome to the family of JYJ3. Welcome to JYJ Republic.. 😉
hello hello hello!!!!
nice to be back here and spazz again ^_______^..
happy JYJ day and forever JYJ day …. if its only Junsu or Jaejoong of Yoochun… still J.Y.J .. right??…
so JYJ day forever ♥ ♥ ♥
brighten up ur day everyone! … lighten up your mood!
there are valid reasons to that:
1. JUnsu’s having a successful solo concert.
2. Yoochun’s RTP attaiined a massive success and very very good ratings!
3. Jaejoong for his new drama which is now making a very huge popularity.
4. last but not the least. J.Y.J is soaring high and high… be it group or their solo activities. really.. you can’t stop real talents…
so .. guys… this calls for a celebration right???? **cheers!****
BTW.
i’ve watch this vid :
wow.. i see no difference between the MV and this live performance! Junsu is AMAZING! AMAZING ! AmAZZZING!!!!!!!
wooooooooooooooooo….really great job!!!! so well done..our junsu…when shout with dolphin voice..oh..i can’t take my breath ..and start this video. i start clap and shout..to the end..i can’t blink even if one time…woooooooooo thanks JJlove
Let’s not dwell on the problem of GAPP, Jae Chun Su are doing fine, let’s celebrate each day that we are here and that our boys are getting more success individually, and I’m counting the days that JYJ will sing as one for us. That thought inspires me each day I’m coming here aside from their solo activities.
@kris
Thank you for the video ❤ Its description got me all giggle-y inside: "A message between Jaejoong and Jaejoong stans." LOL 😀
Our babie is so much love <3<3<3
Hi.. yesterday I saw some serious talking going on.. Today let’s just having a fun spazz.. hehehe..
I’ve been thinking over something lately.. With all of their individuals project..
Can we possibly do some project for 3 of them..
I actually have an idea “how if all of us making a story about three of them”
Like a drama plot or something for the three of them (I really wanna them to do a drama together.. better with some song here and there in tghe drama XD).. And when it finished.. We can hand it to C-Jes and request them to really make it.. Hehehe..
I know the chance of it to be done and C-Jes maybe won’t ever make it to real drama is very low..
At least we have some fun thing to do and we can form a better team work.. Jaeharems, Xiahpwas, Chunsas.. All doing something together and have some fun.. Hehehe
Actually first i have an idea to make a story about them as a singer.. But after I think about it again..
I wanna make a story of them as an ordinary men who love music and enjoy it to fullest.. hehehe..
Making “JYJ The Movie” is actually somewhere in my agenda too, along with JYJ TV Channel and JYJ Broadcasting Station 😀 I agree, it would be really cool if we can pull this off.
Yes.. It’ll be really cool if we can done it rite?^^..
Everyone working together for our boys..
Maybe we can make 5 main plots and do a vote which main plot everyone like the best..
And later we can start making the storyline..
I know it’ll be a very long process.. But it’ll be fun.. Hehehe
Regardless of where everyone stands on the issue, I’d just like to thank @intoxicatedbyxiahtic for getting the ball rolling again on conversations & discussions in the GAPP & thank her for her bravery in broaching a sensitive issue. I’d almost forgotten how much I enjoy listening too, learning from & growing through the many different, smart, wise & lovely people in our JYJ3 family. 🙂
Thanks @Minmin
Sometimes I just want my brain to relax, have my mind take a rest, a breather, to forget even just for a few seconds all the hardships in the real world (work, family society, environment, economy ….so many problems) , I want to be shallow for a moment in order to think deep for the rest of the day thus I may be more productive …… seeing pictures like that really helps.. 🙂
Yes the stage is so grand, props to Junsu
but my JYJ heart is so envious, why JYJ didn’t have that kind of stage in Seoul?
Hopefully for their coming JYJ album, they can have that kind of luxury for their stage.
I think it is part of the evolution of JYJ. With each new album and concert, they are getting better and better, both the boys as well as their planning team in C-JeS. I ´m sure that the next JYJ album and concerts will continue in this trend and even surpass the current Xia tour.
@ruber
When I reread my comment, I was worried that I might be misunderstood by saying I’m envious, (since I feel some fans are so sensitive recently). Thank you for being smart and open minded, yes, that’s the keyword : evolution 🙂
Kris I totally understand you
I think cjes is learning so I hope next JYJ album will be really good and they can perform in Korea with a nice stage, have top producers and collaboratons and a hot video too.
Cjes didn’t have much experience before, but now they do, and they prove how much they have learn form past mistakes
i’m excited about what else they have to show us
Ditto, that’s why I can patiently await Jae’s album. I want everything to be perfect for his solo concerts. I was a little worried because when you don’t go at a fast pace like junsu, you need a well thought-out and grand stage to keep the pace.
IDK if I’m explaining it right, but Jaejoong’s solo stage needs to convey the emotion and excitement he puts into his music. I need for CJES to not mess this up. I know Jaejoong is a great director and he is really conceptual so I have no worries with that. It’s just that sometimes I don’t think CJES executes them to the fullest.
I think that not only is it that C-Jes & JYJ are still learning, & the guys themselves growing & experimenting, it also comes down to logistics, what venues that are open to them, & how much money they can afford to spend. Remember JYJ mentioned that they couldn’t do concerts at a financial loss – the insinuation I got from that being that the expense of touring Europe & S America was greater than the profit they made from that tour, but a concert tour they were determined to do to thank their fans, & help expand their fanbase. It was a viable financial loss for a greater overall gain. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if JYJ do pool an amount, although probably not all, of their profits from their solo ventures to put towards their singing career because it’s there that they are really being blocked; difficult for them to find sponsors, or even distributors etc, willing to risk working with them, so they have to pay for the majority of their expenses themselves. Therefore it stands to reason, the more CF’s they make & the more acting jobs they take, the more income they have to spend on their main career as JYJ.
Kim Jaejoong is the cutest warrior i hv ever lay my eyes upon keke
This cute warrior will be a very fierce one when we see Dr Jin ne *Kim Jaejoong Hwaiting!*
Jaejoong has such a baby face. It’s so cute that I can look at him all day. But then I remember Dr. Jin’s teaser, are that serious man with a cold commanding voice ordering his people around and the blinking boy here really the same person? XD
[TRANS] 120518 “Dr. Jin” Kim Jae Joong: The Markings Made By The Headgear Stayed On For 10 Hours
Kim Jaejoong catches the attention of everyone as he interestingly explains the challenges faced in acting in a historical drama for the first time since his debut.
On May 17, MBC’s newest weekend drama “Dr Jin” held its press conference at Lotte Hotel in Seoul. At the press conference, Kim Jaejoong expressed, “After setting my topknot, it is really difficult for me to control my expressions. I can’t really close my eyes properly, and more often I tend to have squinted eyes.”. He continued to add, “There are also occasions where my filming schedule clashes with my other daily activities, and the marks caused by the headgear stays on for over 10 hours. It’s really quite awkward.”, causing a sea of laughter.
“When we film on a sunny day, the colour of the unexposed skin under the headgear will be totally different from my skin colour”, he proceeded to explain much about topknots, capturing the attention of the audience. In the drama, Kim jaejoong is the fiancé of Hong Young Rae (acted by Park Min Young). He acts as Kim Gyung Tak, a highly skilled swordsman with a strong self esteem.
“Dr Jin” is an adaptation from a Japanese comic, which talks about a genius surgeon who went back into history of 300 years ago during the Joseon dynasty. Starring Song Seung Hun, Lee Beom Su, Kim Jaejoong, Park Min Young, Lee Su Yeon, this drama will take over the timeslot of “Feast of The Gods”, making its debut on 26 May.
“When we film on a sunny day, the colour of the unexposed skin under the headgear will be totally different from my skin colour” Sweetie, haven’t you ever heard of sunscreen?!
@Sapphie
From my personal experience, even with sunscreen with the highest SPF but with long exposure of intense sunlight , the skin still gets darker. Much more with Jae because he has a very white skin, so discoloration is very noticeable. 🙂
I got so much free time today and I’m just hanging in here while waiting for my daughter, hope you won’t mind if I share another video. I’d seen this before but I’m still smiling rewatching it now, sharing a smile is good deed, isn’t it ? 🙂
only reason can stop me watch jyj is “copy right” thing ….other reason I will fight still the end even my boss hmmmm
I am so fine^___________^ have the nice day and happy time come in up to you and your familly !!
@noiha After back to Japan i will try to write a fanacct here. One thing i have to say. IT WAS A MASTERPIECE. Touching moments for me coz Junsu was emotional too
@Ivy chan i’m so happy even if i’m a bit tired for my trip. Anyway the Concert was fantastic and amazing~!!!!! I will tell u more when i have time. Tomorrow i have school again 😦
And so it is said that the lawsuit of sm against JYJ had concluded on May 15.
But as there is still another lawsuit of JYJ against sm which will start on June 19, the final decisions will be released only after.
This whole thing has been dragging for so long.
I’ve never doubt who’s going to be the winner coz good will overcome the evil.
However, what I do feel is, will the final verdict change whatever the entertainment industry is doing to JYJ?
Yes, the lawsuit once concluded can not be used as an excuse but it’s still up to the broadcasters to decide whether JYJ are allowed on national tv.
Till now, sm had always acted as if it’s above the law and sadly, those broadcasters are too cowardly to go against them and the law is not enforcing whatever penalties that’s supposed to be on the.
I want this whole stupid thing to end ASAP but whether it’s going to change anything remains to be seen.
it will be the result of the lawsuit??? will decide who win??? jyj or sm, and if JYJ win, SM will have to do what JYJ was asking, or maybe the court will said what sm have to do,…..
let’s pray the best for JYJ… AND, i’m sad if we fighting each other, we are family “One for All, All for one” in the name of JYJ, Amen.
Apparently the lawsuit that sm had against JYJ were already concluded. But they didn’t announce the verdict yet.
Probably sm will be fine money at most and ordered not to interfere with JYJ activities….
@shadow
I hope South Korea law not blind … we need to solve this problem soon. This is the reason why i love JYJ, they dare to live among the KPOP industry with their own hands and feet, but their enemy is the Mighty Giant Tarantulla called SME
I ´ve read the same info on twitter and it made me a little sad, the lawsuit takes too much time already, if it will continue another 3 years… Sigh.
As for the fear that the end of the lawsuit will change absolutly nothing for JYJ, that they will still be unofficially banned from broadcasters, I share it with you. I´ve somehow already accepted that the situation of the boys will not get better with time. I´m sure the boys are frustrated because of it, but the latest Xia album shows they found a way how to anticipate it in their planning and to deal with it. I still have some hope for Japan, because it is a too big market to loose it completely, I wish they had at least the same oportunities there as they have in Korea right now (acting, some concerts/FMs, CFs, album releases).
In a way, this lawsuit had forced JYJ to be even more creative.
Even fan supports have gone to another level!
I also do wish JYJ can continue in Japan which is like their second home but in Japan, that’ll be another issue with Avex.
So, just deal with Korea first then see how things go.
The boys have too many things on their hands already.
TQ for posting this info i really want the Lawsuit to end coz dis lawsuit has wasted too much time!!
i hv faith JYJ will win this lawsuit but most importantly i really hope there will be a major change
in the entire Korean Broacasting Industry!! i will pray hard for a really good outcome for JYJ!!
Yes, I seriously hope the Korean law will be enforced as it should on sm and those who deliberately block JYJ.
It’ll be a really difficult thing to do but if the law allows sm and it’s lackys to continue, it just proves itself a huge joke internationally.
They mustn’t forget that since JYJ is now internationally recognized, anything that happen to them will be look upon closely.
i don’t know what exactly happen to H.O.T and shinhwa in the past, but i hope JYJ can have same privilege like the two of them. they’re all have same beginning story, but different end story.
i really envy with shinhwa. they went out from SM, make their own way for their music and career, and have a chance to perform their show at tv broadcast and some reality show.
just wish that someday our boys can have sam chance like shinhwa 😦
i’m sorry if it’s out of topic 🙂
It’s just feel like sm is going all the way out to block JYJ much more than it did to the two groups you mentioned.
I believe JYJ also want to go onto national broadcast but until this lawsuit is totally over, they will always use this excuse to not let them in.
I just hope after the verdict is announced, the broadcasters don’t be so shameless to continue blocking JYJ.
I think part of SM strategy is to drag the lawsuit as much as they can. And sadly this sort of lawsuits probably are not that important to the eyes of Korean court. will the final verdict change whatever the entertainment industry is doing to JYJ?
I’m pessimistic about it. More so because the reason why entertainment industry treats JYJ the way they do is not because of the legal aspect of the lawsuit, but because a) SM has a lot of power and they can pressure them, b) JYJ is changing the game for everyone, not only idols and companies, but TV stations and everyone else is also affected. People not always want to move out of their comfort zone, they are too used to work the way they have been working for years and they are not whiling to change.
This has nothing to do with the lawsuit per-se, so even if it ends is possible that the situation wont change.
In the other hand if JYJ wins the lawsuit (or when jyj wins the lawsuit) TV stations will need to find other excuse, then I hope the court can do something about it this unofficial banning.
Either way JYJ is doing just fine even without the TV stations and promotions. And thou I’m sure they miss it, I really don’t want to see them in these Music shows. I find they don’t really fit that “idol” environment anymore, and is not like those music shows have that much audience anyway.
I agree~ esp on those people unwilling to change.
Let’s just really hope that as time move on, those oldies and those with that kind of thinking get over taken by a group of people who have more vision about the future.
Just read this article, http://www.allkpop.com/2012/05/hallyu-wave-expected-to-cool-down-in-the-next-four-years-koreatimes-reports
Which is talking about how the Hallyu wave will die down in a few years. If those people don’t change their mentally, that will inevitably happen.
I’m glad JYJ are considered, at least in my eyes, out of the common mold.
Can I tell you a dirty little secret? The big Entertainment bosses and the Korean Govt. Knows this already. That’s why they a pushing this Hallyu invasion thing so hard right now. Think about it if they really thought this was a lasting thing they would treat it like the Japanese treated Jpop and Manga’s. It wasn’t something that hit right away, they slowly let it infiltrate the international community.
They were content to let it build as a nitch market and go from there. That’s why the culture has been able to last as long as it has.
In America the Cultural inference as far as nature and the country side has been here for a long time due to immigration, but the pop culture aspect of Japan is fairly recent in USA.
“I want this whole stupid thing to end ASAP but whether it’s going to change anything remains to be seen.”
That’s my feeling too. Has anyone heard anymore about SM being fined for blocking JYJ? That just seems to have been brushed under the carpet too. Personally I think there is a lot of bribery, favors & blackmail going on that’s keeping the blocking so strong, & no court verdict in favor of JYJ is going to end that. About the only thing JYJ can do is keep working hard, keep themselves in the public eye, & gain more fans who will work with us older fans to keep the blocking relevant & put it in front of the public – ie, make the general non-pop-idol loving public aware of what is going on & why, & why at the end of the day, corruption & exploitation in an industry that they aren’t involved in does affect them, even indirectly, because it clearly shows corruption, exploitation, abuse of power & collusion between government, big business & the powers that be, that permeates & trickles down into all areas of government & business.
I think SM is holding out until JYJ go into the military, something that they HAVE to do. In his arrogance, LSM probably believes that most JYJ fans will forget about the guys & move on to the next prettily packaged idol group, & that JYJ will come out of the military to a greatly reduced fan base that will greatly lessen their chances of survival.
Fortunately JYJ is doing excellently despite the lack of broadcastings, the multiple interferences and the blockings. And the fact that makes me happy is that day by day they have more I-fans from all around the world. JYJ men are great and admirable.
After the lawsuit is over….I doubt JYJ will be allowed on TV. Maybe after they have finished military the industry will be more lenient but not now. Even Shinhwa who decided not to resign AFTER their contracts were over were blocked in the industry till after military was over.
I don’t think the entertainment industry has ‘blocked’ artists as their top priority right now. There are so many things wrong with it……at at institutional level. People are going on strike and leaving their jobs because they want change in broadcasting companies or want the CEO to change. Also, on entertainment channels if someone speaks negatively of the current government they can get fired from their job and blocked.
The problem is with the government. If the government changes maybe JYJ will see the light at the end of the tunnel. South Korea is currently running on a ‘fake democracy’ system….when if fact it is tightly controlled.
On the topic of music shows……..even though their ratings are low they highly influence the public in general. Some of the songs that are popular in Korea right now….like Bigbang’s Fantastic Baby would have not been that popular if they had not promoted them. In South Korea and internationally most of the viewers of these shows watch them online….to filter the songs they want to listen to or find new music. These music shows still play a huge role in introducing people to songs and groups.
I do think the music industry in South Korea is killing itself. Most of the groups that still sell well are old generation idol groups (DBSK, BigBang, Super Junior, JYJ, SNSD, etc.) the other groups do not do that well. And the newbies are selling VERY little compared to the amount of promotions they do. The majority of groups that sell well right now in Korea are male groups who will eventually have to go to the military. I imagine the KPop industry losing hype during that period. Unless the girl groups start releasing actually good content. =___=
Maybe SNSD will last for a longer while but eventually people will get bored of them as they get older and appear more and more fake. They ill probably start doing more solo activities too.
Although…..by some newbie groups I am impressed even though they have not grabbed me. I like Infinite’s dances…..and I like B.A.P.’s charisma even though their songs haven’t really hooked me.
okay, so today I finally watched “heaven’s postman” and I was awed. I remember jaejoong said that he regretted his acting in the film so I didn’t want to watch it knowing that it would be a disappointment. but a free day, coupled with itchy fingers on youtube brought me to the show and honestly, I thought he did well. it wasn’t a role that required deep acting skills, more of a honest, simple and laid-back flavour which he did manage to bring across. I really liked the ending song so I went searching for it and *&#$@/ cos apparently rights to the song are held by SM and they didn’t release it, so that effectively kicked me out of happy land into the current ranting mood.
oh well, I’m just excited to see jaejoong mature even more as an actor in the upcoming drama. I notice that in the above photos, he’s changed out of the red official garments into a casual blue outfit. I hope it means that they’ve made significant progress with the filming and are at least on the 3rd episode cos with the massive media exposure, expectations are running sky high and it would be difficult to ensure high quality if there isn’t enough time for editing.
and now, cheers to junsu’s 2nd solo concert in an hour. I watched the fancams and he’s proven himself as a top performer once again. oh so proud! I listened to lullaby before sleeping the past few nights, but now, hmm, it doesn’t feel right anymore.
ah, I meant to write a short post but it ended up like this, so I shall stop here.
P.S: I read ytd’s GAPP but didn’t find it appropriate to comment since I rarely appear. I’m thankful to anyone who’s attempting to suggest improvements to make the site more hospitable to all JYJ fans. *sends my love*
i hv faith Jaejoong will impress us more n leave us breathless with his abilities^^
Thnk U for posting yr thoughts n oppinions here n i really hope U will visit JYJ3 more often 😀
@Kexion
“I hope it means that they’ve made significant progress with the filming and are at least on the 3rd episode cos with the massive media exposure, expectations are running sky high and it would be difficult to ensure high quality if there isn’t enough time for editing.”
Truer words have never been spoken. Especially with a historical drama, Script comes first and Editing comes second. I know when the drama first was announced some people were complaining about SSH and then PMY because of their acting. But I was optimistic because this was a historical drama and the story could pick up the slack if the actors weren’t up to snuff.
It’s the other way around for modern drama’s IMO, which is why I was really happy with the actors for PTB.
I can’t believe this week will be the last week of Rooftop Prince! Seriously, time flew so fast I don’t think I had the time to stop and take a breath and suddenly, it’s the 2nd last week of May already! I need to change my mantra from Lee Gak to Kyung Tak
Lee Gak
Kyung Tak Kyung Tak Kyung Tak Kyung Gak Lee Tak Kyung Gak Lee Tak Kyung Tak Kyung Gak Kyung Tak Kyung Gak Lee Tak Kyung Gak Lee Tak Kyung Tak Kyung Gak Kyung Tak Kyung Gak Lee Tak Kyung Gak Lee Tak Kyung Tak Kyung Gak Kyung Tak
Oh my…I hope I won’t be crying rivers over the OTP on Rooftop Prince and there’s so much going on I can’t even believe my heart has to let go of Lee Gak so soon but thankfully the other soulmate will be saving my heart but somehow…reading the summary of Kyung Tak…;__;
Anyway…I’m gonna go and drown myself in Xia-sama’s awesomeness and sexiness. Before I start crying a river over Rooftop Prince and the loss of the ever so elusive Park Yoochun and salvaging the loneliness with Kyung Tak and anticipating the date for Junsu’s Jakarta concert.
Hi@ryther, are you going to junsu’s JKT concert? I rmmber you did asked, but at that time I can’t make up my mind, but I just received my CD & seeing the pics & fancams makes me feels like going, 🙂
I ´m currently in Xia appreciation mode. Please everyone, post as many nice fancams and fanaccounts as possible.
Confession: When I watch Junsu performing on stage alone, I´m forgetting the existence of my Jae. And when I watch Yoochun´s acting, especially his trademark smile, my knees are getting weak. Jae is still my bias, but the other two are only a baby step behind. We are blessed to have 3 such extraordinary members in one group. Peace.
Hi I am just new here, i enjoy reading your comments and your post, i love it! I hope i can have new friends here, i want to share too, i search and browse when i find something interesting i share it about Kpop artist
Hello & welcome. We always like to have new friends join in. We consider ourselves something of a family, & I’m sure it won’t be long before we’re calling you sister. 🙂
I’ve just read our GAPP yesterday….so hot.
Time to chill down, enjoy JYJ music, and relax everybody….that’s the main point of being JYJ fans (and my reasons for being here)
DELETED BY ADMIN
Your IP say you live in other country not Korea.
Also we can identify your other usernames in JYJ3
Please refrain from spreading lies or you will be banned
I think atm we are seeing more of what GAPP used to be, a combination of fun spazzing & good conversation. 🙂 I’m really enjoying it. 🙂 & I hope we can keep it this way.
hi guys ! i read all the comment on the last GAPP , and i was thinking why we dont try to open conversation about fun and interesting subjects and just forget about who our baises are and just be a jyj lover 😀
so for first try i have a question :
which female singer do you like to do a duet with jyj ?
personlly i love brown eyed girls and i love to see them singing with our boys . and new soloist too , her name is Ailee and she is great .
please tell me what do you think ?? i love to know your option 😀
I don’t know enough female Asian artists to say, but on an international scale, I would love for JYJ to work with a Portuguese Fado singer called Mariza. (Fado is a little like the Portuguese version of the blues.) Her voice is incredibly rich, deep, nuanced & full of emotion & she has enormous control over it. As talented as JYJ are, I think they could learn a lot from her, & the thought of them dueting with her gives me goosebumps!! I know alot of JYJ fans don’t like her, but Jaejoong himself is a fan of Lady Gaga, & I think a lot of what she is credited for is comparable to what they are trying to do – break free of the run-of-the-mill pop formula & express their own individuality & originality. (Personally I don’t know how successful Lady Gaga is at this. I like some of her songs, but I’m not a fan as such, & it seems to me that while her videos are intentionally shocking, the songs themselves aren’t really all that original. For me she is a bit like the equivalent of popcorn movies – the blockbusters you enjoy, but not the deep, intense, emotional films that really make you think & feel & question.) But for purely pragmatic reasons, JYJ dueting or working with Lady Gaga could be a HUGE boost for them internationally – let’s face it, like her or not, she has millions of devoted fans who follow her every move & she could single-handedly catapult JYJ onto the international stage in a big way. & as unfortunate as it is, we all know there is still an enormous amount of racism in the world & Lady Gaga’s “little monsters” celebrate being different. As such, they might be more willing to embrace Kpop as opposed to say Kanye West’s fans.
I would really love it though if JYJ would do a song, or (greedy me) even a mini album with BB. I’m loving their song Blue, & even more loving Fantastic Baby, & as different as they are, I would love to see JYJ jamming with BB, letting loose & getting their freak on!!!
Sorry Shana, but I don’t have any idea of it….since I’m not familiar with K-pop singers. I know only JYJ and things related to JYJ. (he he). But, let me try to. I’d like to listen to duet of Junsu and Baek Ji Young. They’ll make great ballad song. or else, try 2NE1 and JYJ. for me 2NE1 is quite different. They have their own style, not identical as fake-cute and try-to-be-sexy girl bands…..They dare to be different, just as our JYJ. Move out of the box….
@shana
But they can try a song like Lonely, it was played in one of our malls and then I realized it’s a “so good to listen song”
and I agree with @khristinjyjinside, 2ne1 is the only female kpop group I see that doesn’t capitalized much with their body/legs and butt shaking and their MVs are also too different from the rest .
that’s my point. JYJ can work with them without loosing their characters, but try to blend the music and create something new. 🙂 btw, it’s just about our personal preference
I like the concept of 2NE1 & their videos, more than their actual songs 😦 Which disappoints me, because I do like the fact that they are different, & are doing their own thing (& that they don’t have the fake-too-cute-it’s-annoying-act going on). & I like that their videos are a bit more artistic, rather than dance-oriented shoving their breasts, butt & crotch in your face.
Not sure about Korean artists, but in Japan ther’s plenty of option,
Koda Kumi collabotated with them in THSK & it was impressive….so yeak Koda, or a duet between Ayumi & JJ will also be lovely….
Thanks for the vid! So cute, I love everything about Yuchun, from his eyes that smile into perfect crescents, to his pouty lips, to his heart shaped adams apple, to his straight as a rod collarbones, and all the way down to his perpetually flip flop clad feet.
Love love love~! I have a thing for long hair Chun. Long hair gives him an artistic/romantic air. I wish he didn’t cut his hair for a while (too late though).
@Kpop
Thanks ^^
Woah! YC’s message^^ My heart palpitated softly ◕ ◡ ◕
Alright, My Sunday is completed XD
First, My feeling is so happy to receive IJIJ’s message which I surmise may be Our JJ ^^ ( I’m naive, I want to dream that is our JJ ! XD)
Second, watching XiaJunsu ‘s solo concert from fancams. Hot!
Third, YC’s smile How astig!!
Hello Everyone!
I have a question that I would like to ask but I’m not sure where to ask it……I’m fairly new fan of KPOP(about a year or so) & JYJ is the reason I love KPOP today. I know about the JYJ & SM issues(although I don’t understand it all) I do find that I like some of the groups under the SM label. There are songs that I would like to have but being that they are under the SM Label I feel that I shouldn’t own them out of loyalty to JYJ. How do you deal with this? Does anyone have a straight out boycott of SM & all of their artist? I hope this makes sense!
Thanks for your advice!!
dealing with this kind of issue is really sensitive.
Personally… You have to make your own choice… either you straight boycott all SM products or buy/support both SM or JYJ.
but for loyalty sake and my humanitarian responsibility… I would boycott SM… a company/business continues to flourish if their are people buying their product. SM uses this money to continue to harass JYJ’s activities-banning them in S Korea and Japan. So in my perspective, I would rather not purchase nor follow any SM products. I would never give SM a single cent of my savings to be used against JYJ.
Loving JYJ has slowly introduced me to other KPop acts, mainly because I discovered my local PopAsia music video show & keep waiting (in vain) for them to play JYJ. There are other KPop acts whose songs I like – but I’m essentially a JYJ fan who likes a lot of Big Bang. I won’t however purchase or in any way support any SM act, or Avex, due to their blocking of JYJ in S Korea & Japan, because I know full well that a share of the profits these acts make SM & Avex will very probably be used to continue blocking JYJ. I’m not into bashing the artists, because it’s not their fault, & they are trying to live out their own dreams, & being exploited by their own company in the process. But no way no how is SM in particular going to see a cent of my money or an iota of my support until they end the blocking, pay JYJ the money they owe them, & preferably throw in a very gracious, very grovelling personal & public apology to Jaejoong, Chunnie, Junsu & C-Jes. (BB is not with SM btw.) That’s my personal feeling. Where you stand on the issue however is one for you to decide.
My situation is easier they yours as I have no favourite group from SME. So it´s easy to boycott them for the most time. The only problem comes with old SM/AVEX stuff like albums or DVDs. I would like to buy them but don´t want to give my hard earned money to either of these companies. If law-enforcement as well as public opinion in Korea can ´t change SM behaviour, the only remaining way is trough $$.
I also have a similar opinion about the SM artists as Sapphire voiced it above, I don´t like the bashing I sometimes see. They are just trying to live their dream, just like JYJ when they were younger.
Please be vigilant to some of the commentors here.
They might be trolls trying to destroy our peace and harmony.
Regarding that RARE kind of comment, it’s quite suspicious, I myself thought it must be Jae but why would he use the ENGLISH names for Chun and Xia?
For me: Until I receive something that will prove it’s legitimacy I will be vigilant to it.
That’s all! Good Day to all ^^
From a silent reader [LURKER]
I kind of wondered if @Anonymous yesterday was one of JYJ, or a friend or family member of theirs. @Yna translated & part of @Anonymous’ comment included how upset the guys would be if they knew fans were fighting over them. & I think most of us secretly hope that JYJ know JYJ3 exists & maybe even lurk here occasionally. Look how excited we all got when @beyondmonica tweeted the JYJ3.net page saying that Jaejoong had won some sexiest man comp to Jaejoong’s twitter! But when deleting the @ijij comment, admins made it a point to say that they know the ip address was from outside of S Korea & that they also know that commentators other user names! I kinda hoped that maybe it was Jaejoong, Chunnie or Junsu getting a friend more fluent in English who lives outside of S Korea to comment for them, but that’s probably just extreme wishful thinking!
JYJ Fans are so fast, here’s XIA-No Gain Piano cover (Full ver.) by yeonsu

Hello @daebaksama
Congratulations – finally! 🙂
To @all , wish i could stay longer and join in your interesting and very stimulating conversations,
but i’ve work today
Just want to express my gladness to see many commenters here today, and some “old” JYJ3 regulars back in circulation 🙂
Looking forward to interacting with all of you and thanks @daebaksama for starting with an interesting topic below.
All the best, let’s keep on loving JYJ 🙂
Some will argue that most conflict is cultural in nature; that we misunderstand each other because of how we were brought up, socialized, the values we believe in. Here is a snippet about of the matter at hand: http://www.international.gc.ca/cfsi-icse/cil-cai/magazine/v01n02/1-2-eng.asp
What do you think how much of our own/ yours cultural background influence the way you interact/respond/react to conflict in your personal/work/ and everyday relationships and interactions. Please, note that conflict in my opinion is not something that is bad, conflict can help us grow and help us know each other, and become more efficient/effective in our relationships. I look forward to hear what everyone has to say.
@Daebaksama
My friend, what you’re stating is true but not when the conflict turns to be vicious and insane. I’ve seen such behaviour more than once on GAPP. That’s why I restrain myself from commenting here most of the time. I already have my personal stressing issues to add one more in the place that helps me to free my daily tensions. It’s like my own version of “Hakuna Matata” LOL
I see. Hakuna Matata, he?
@shuheilove
this is for you …
@shuheilove
I beg to differ with your assertion that the conflict as seen surfacing in JYJ3 of late is “vicious and insane.” I think suppressed and unresolved conflicts are way more detrimental because only then will our inner venom be spitted at the wrong directions – not to where it can be resolved but to, say, the boys themselves. Without offering my personal opinion on the issue, I really appreciated @intoxicatedbyxiahtic (very creative name by the way) for raising her voice about it, since I would really hate to imagine the alternative scenario where the unexpressed tensions eventually find a different channel to explode. Not that I want to continue beating a dead horse, but after all what we need to remind ourselves is simply that everyone has their own biases, and that when respect is given to others it will find the way back to you.
I think generally speaking, one’s attitude toward conflicts is largely influenced by whether their cultural background orients toward individualism (Western cultures) or collectivism (Eastern cultures). Individualistic cultures directly and assertively prioritize the rights of individuals, so assertively in fact that sometimes they can come off as rude and provoking, whereas collectivist cultures emphasize the interests of a group, thereby rendering self-restraint and moderation essential in lessening discordance and eluding confrontation. However, moving past the first-reaction contentions and contestations, I believe the methods of resolving conflicts are universal – we all just need to make small compromises to satisfy the goals and needs of everyone involved. A win-win situation is achievable in our situation, considering the substantial ground we have in common.
Yup: the difference between Western/ individualistic and Eastern/collectivistic. I am all for compromises, but to make those compromises, we need to understand to where are the parties involved coming from. We say here in USA, something like (not sure, if this verbatim ): your freedom starts where my freedom ends, or my freedom starts where your freedom ends. If small compromises was all it took, then we would not have wars, conflicts within the same national borders may not happen, people who are citizens of the same country, but belong to different ethnicities, religion, and sexual orientation, will indeed live peacefully. Let’s have more I love where this is going.
@wickedangel14
Dear, I think you misunderstood what I meant. I didn’t say ALL the conflicts on JYJ3 were vicious and insane; I meant sometimes the conflicts turned to be vicious and insane; SOMETIMES not always, as not always is possible to solve that issues in an ideal and easy way. Believe me, I know what I am talking about.
@daebaksama
Yes, I agree that in this world where zero-sum economics reigns, small compromises sometimes will never be attained, even if they are indeed all that it takes. Leaving aside serious issues like global warming or African famine, psychologists would still have to agree that even in everyday interpersonal conflicts, a lose-lose settlement is the most common type of conflict resolution. However, zooming in to our own circumstances, I hope you agree with me that to various extents, we all feel a special emotional attachment to this site – that’s why most veterans are coming back at what seems to me the verge of chaos 😉 The optimistic person in me concludes that we will eventually be able to make everyone happy.
@shuheilove
I thought that given the context, it is natural to assume that you’re referring to one particular conflict that has recently been expressed. 🙂 Nevertheless, since I don’t want to be kept hanging, I’m going to assume ahead that I also understand what you’re talking about, and I want to say that please be optimistic, we eventually will be able to figure it out! ^__^
@wicked angel (@wickedangel4) I don’t think that our interactions on this site are any different of any interactions we would have in so called real-life ( cause this as real as it gets). This site is probably a smaller “playground” for what we encounter in real life situations. I am a cynical and skeptical person (yes, I am), and for me optimism is as good as the next ten seconds, because it doesn’t have a foundation to stand on. I believe that as people, we are motivated by incentives, and if we are too zoom in on this site, I don’t think optimism will be enough to make everyone happy. Every individual wants to be acknowledged as a valued human being, to do that we need to know his/her values/principles/ beliefs currency.
@Wickedangel
Please, don’t try to do so, I beg you. That’s forgiven and forgotten already. I only meant I had the sad experience.
@daebaksama
I disagree. JYJ3 and its net of interactions cannot be likened to real-life situations without over-stretching the metaphor, because unlike the relational structure that is the real-world which we are thrown in and get roughed up by, where many of us struggle to get the most out of its turmoil yet sometimes, *melodramatic self-reflection moment >__<

@shuheilove
The wise forgive but do not forget, right? ^_^ Either way, I'm happy to hear it was resolved.
LOL I’m losing my sanity soon. This is my last try >____<

Cultural conflict easily arises but on the other hand is also easily avoided with some care and research of the involved parties. Its my opinion that in a world that is becoming increasingly more global, cultural misunderstandings are becoming less and less but it is the individual social conflicts that come to the surface.
Take for instance, a situation I found myself in when I was in Iraq. I had to work with a tribal leader who very much did not like women. Me, being all girly replete with girly parts, was not a person he wanted to collaborate with, listen to, or take counsel from. Now this was a cultural difference between his culture and mine in which the area I was in did not value the thoughts and opinions of women. I spent a few days being a mute, just observing him, his likes and dislikes, his opinions and interactions, and I found a way to overcome that cultural barrier. People said, there’s no way your going to make this work, that they should assign a male soldier to handle the tribal leader, but we managed to persevere and work together.
It seems where the real conflict lies is not in cultural values but individual/personal values. In my situation, the tribal leader had a personal value that led him to supersede his cultural value of not working with women. However should his personal value have been in conflict with my mission, I would have spent the entire time being a mute or assigning someone of the male variety to take over my position.
And this is where I think our sensitivity lies when dealing with conflict on this site. I’m guilty of it myself on countless occasions and have yet to figure out how to not become reactionary and inflammatory without distancing myself entirely from this community. While we have our common love of JYJ, we each have our own set of personal values, to which we defend to the death should the need arise. The value itself doesn’t much matter, but it is the questioning of said value in which conflict arises. It shakes our core, our foundation, and we immediately reject any such notion that is in conflict with our personal values.
Culturally speaking, I think we get along quite beautifully. I’m amazed by how many different backgrounds and countries members of this community come from and while there is the occasional poster with shaky english that gets misunderstood, I think it’s no more common than a fluent english speaker being misunderstood because all we have is the interpretation of their words. And our interpretation will forever be colored by our own personal values and sensitive to any “attack” we percieve on our values.
@mkverse, “It seems where the real conflict lies is not in cultural values but individual/personal values” But how did he form that value of consider women less than equal to him. If you look at how women are treated in that particular country, you will see that this was a cultural and social value that he learned throughout his life. To say that the way he treated you was a personal value, will undermine the bigger problem existent in the country, and in many countries of the world where women are still second class citizens, where baby girls are killed at birth, where women can’t own any propriety. For example, if in America, we considered that what KKK did was a personal value, and all we needed to do is just see how they work, we wouldn’t be able to change the plight of African Americans. We would think, that KKK actions was an isolated situation, and there is no reason for policies and such. What do you think?
@ daebaksama, seems there is a misunderstanding. I was saying that his value of women is cultural but was overridden by his personal value which he held higher than cultural, which led to my conclusion that personal values supersede cultural. Sorry if I wasn’t clearer.
@daebaksama
I like The Platinum Rule. I tend to feel conflict is bad, even though logically I know that isn’t necessarily the case, & I usually end up feeling swamped with wanting to resolve the conflict, even more swamped with guilt if I’ve caused it, while at the same time wanting the autonomy to state my own opinion. Tbh, my logical side & my emotional side are so far apart that I probably end up confusing everyone else as much as I confuse myself, & will continue to do so until I’ve managed to integrate both sides into one!! Sorry for being so contrary & confusing peeps!!
Don’t say sorry for being human!! I find all our individual quirks and neurosis extremely entertaining. Often I find myself posting emotionally and the reposting a more logical stance. Or I start a post emotional and end it logical. And people don’t seem to like the emotional side of my opinion so my logical stance is dismissed. I feel bad about it, but what can I say, that’s who I am.
“Don’t walk behind me; I may not lead. Don’t walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.” ~ Albert Camus
That will come with time, and I will argue it has to do w/ the way you were socialized, the culture/ values you grew up, the fact that you are a woman. And then, there is Sapphire, the individual, who wants to create her own principles, and live by her own values, not those that were taught to her by the group that she belongs to. It’s our individuality that tries to make sense of the world that we live and how do we want to live.
@mkverse
Thank you *hugs you* Letting ourselves & each other be human, with all of our quirks, neurosis, faults & positives, is something we often forget to do. ^___^
@ Sapphire
*Hugs*

@daebaksama
I think that conflict has both positive and negative sides. Conflict is part of our culture to grow as more mature human beings…Conflict shapes our psychological traits. We’ll develop our mind and broaden our perspectives….but too many conflicts will be very exhausted, both to our body and mind……Just try to resolve the conflicts, don’t run away from the conflicts for they will lead to another conflict…..Live peacefully, happily, healthily, and hopefully prosperously. Amen. 😉
Indeed. However, as we live, we can’t avoid conflict. The only time conflict will be avoid is when we cross the other side. Especially, in work environments which are increasingly diverse, we need to learn how to welcome, manage, and solve conflict. It can’t be avoided. Just because we don’t talk about smth that doesn’t mean it will go away. And in a job, we need to talk about things because it affect productivity. What do you think? Tell me more. Let’s look at conflict in different social situations, where we wear different hats: lovers, mothers, sisters, friends, employees, bosses, subordonate….
I agreed with @wicked angel,
“I believe the methods of resolving conflicts are universal – we all just need to make small compromises to satisfy the goals and needs of everyone involved. A win-win situation is achievable in our situation, considering the substantial ground we have in common.”
We are always right where belong . Hearts can guide us, hearts can blind us… Still we carry on what we believe >>> JYJ .
I always love this quote : The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing in the right place but to leave tha unsaid wrong thing at tempting moment ” – Lady Dorothy Nevill.
This is for all my JYJ sis – ” Every Woman’s Song – Angela Aki)
Tak a break Hav a KIT KAT !!
Interesting quote 😉 I just want to add that sometimes, something not necessarily wrong should be left unsaid as well. ^__^
Other than that, thanks for the Kit Kat sister! 😀
@ Daebaksama
In my case, that lion is a lioness and she’s already awake but restrained. She already unleashes herself to chase Jaejoong, Yoochun or Junsu. It depends on the “reigning atmosphere” or maybe in the day of the month 😉
OK, Lioness, your highness! LOL
@Kaloocapri
If you’re that lion, that means I have to run and hide LOL
Lol..
Better run faster ..
daebaksama, I agree with you… even we have a different culture, belief or opinion the most important things is to learn how to approach, interact, respond and to deliver your compliment or criticism with respect on the feelings of others so that we could not hurt the feelings of other and we also know how to accept criticism because it help us to grow so that we could polish our mistake if ever there is. Thank you for sharing your point of view on this matter 🙂
You welcome. Stay around and say more.
@pazpranz
I agree with you. I think the difficult thing there is that often times people aren’t willing to listen to an opinion, regardless of how tactfully it’s stated, without taking offense or feeling like it’s a personal attack. Tact isn’t my strong point, & as much as I hate to hurt other people’s feelings, & as guilt-ridden as I feel afterwards if I’ve done so, for me ultimately, the truth is all important. Sometimes that is a personal truth, but other times I feel very strongly that it is a universal truth & that no matter how much it hurts, it’s better for all concerned to deal with it, rather than to repress it & let it fester. There are however, people who take umbrage at that, twist what is being said into a personal attack, regardless of how good someone’s intention was, & then attack back. At that point things usually deteriorate fast… Accepting that we are all individuals & respecting that individuality, without feeling threatened or disrespected, while finding common ground to share is I think, a lesson all of us are learning.
@daebaksama
Hmm… This topic is too big >.<
The only thing I can relate to is this concept: "It's not how we fight; it’s what happened after we fight?"
I still don't have the answers yet o.O but one thing for sure life is abundance.
I must learn those lessons once at a time with the right helps from the people who loves me the most. ^^
congratz !
thanks.
@ jamaryka ~ Greetings 😀

It’s officially a new day, well at least in my small portion of the world. I just wanted to say, for me personally, those that feel they cannot post or spam b/c of yesterday’s discussion, I’m truly sorry. That was never my personal intent. I’m a spazz, I spazz with the best of them, and what better thing to spazz over than pics of our beautiful boys. I think the previous GAPP was interesting and a lively debate even if things seemed to get mixed up from time to time. Please don’t let the discussion deter you from spamming your heart out today, I truly don’t think that was anyone’s goal. Peace, love, and happiness and of course, JYJ!!
@ mkverse ~ Aloha^^
Peace, love, and happiness to U 2 at all times 😀
@ ivy
I’m excited for a new day, I hope your day fulfills the promise of greatness!

Hello sisters, a new GAPP, a new start
Let’s not dwell on the problem of GAPP, Jae Chun Su are doing fine, let’s celebrate each day that we are here and that our boys are getting more success individually, and I’m counting the days that JYJ will sing as one for us. That thought inspires me each day I’m coming here aside from their solo activities.
I can still post Jae’s video, right? 🙂
” I will always love you…..
Lol @kris …
@kaloocapri
Yes, we’re to be happy, right? I have a good laugh 😀 with the video you gave from the previous GAPP
¿What? ¡Don’t tell me now the minions turned to be cats! LOL @Shadow, baby, take a look at your minions dear ROFL!!!!
Jae and Su cats … Haha
Omg sun! Mutation!!!
LOL!!!
ROFL…..ROFL……ROFL
this is great! ;D
@ kris ~ Happy Sunday 😀
Yes lets celebrate n be happy *Cheers*
@kris
Thank you for the video ❤ Its description got me all giggle-y inside: "A message between Jaejoong and Jaejoong stans." LOL 😀
Our babie is so much love <3<3<3
sisters,
try to play back 1:08 – 1:17 , I super love that part! 😉
Hi.. yesterday I saw some serious talking going on.. Today let’s just having a fun spazz.. hehehe..
I’ve been thinking over something lately.. With all of their individuals project..
Can we possibly do some project for 3 of them..
I actually have an idea “how if all of us making a story about three of them”
Like a drama plot or something for the three of them (I really wanna them to do a drama together.. better with some song here and there in tghe drama XD).. And when it finished.. We can hand it to C-Jes and request them to really make it.. Hehehe..
I know the chance of it to be done and C-Jes maybe won’t ever make it to real drama is very low..
At least we have some fun thing to do and we can form a better team work.. Jaeharems, Xiahpwas, Chunsas.. All doing something together and have some fun.. Hehehe
Just my idea.. kkkk
@ Junhae~ Happy day to U^^
Agree & luv your ideas 😀
Happy day to you too^^..
Hehehe.. I’m glad someone like my idea..
Actually first i have an idea to make a story about them as a singer.. But after I think about it again..
I wanna make a story of them as an ordinary men who love music and enjoy it to fullest.. hehehe..
What do you think about it?^^
I know this idea of mine sound so naive..
But sometimes a naive thing can make many people happy.. Hehehe
Making “JYJ The Movie” is actually somewhere in my agenda too, along with JYJ TV Channel and JYJ Broadcasting Station 😀 I agree, it would be really cool if we can pull this off.
Yes.. It’ll be really cool if we can done it rite?^^..
Everyone working together for our boys..
Maybe we can make 5 main plots and do a vote which main plot everyone like the best..
And later we can start making the storyline..
I know it’ll be a very long process.. But it’ll be fun.. Hehehe
Regardless of where everyone stands on the issue, I’d just like to thank @intoxicatedbyxiahtic for getting the ball rolling again on conversations & discussions in the GAPP & thank her for her bravery in broaching a sensitive issue. I’d almost forgotten how much I enjoy listening too, learning from & growing through the many different, smart, wise & lovely people in our JYJ3 family. 🙂

Thanks @Minmin
Sometimes I just want my brain to relax, have my mind take a rest, a breather, to forget even just for a few seconds all the hardships in the real world (work, family society, environment, economy ….so many problems) , I want to be shallow for a moment in order to think deep for the rest of the day thus I may be more productive …… seeing pictures like that really helps.. 🙂
@kris I’m glad you love this pic too…
I love this pic ,I don’t know why -when I look at his sad eyes….I just calm my heart suddenly…
@Minmin
🙂 …hugs …. how sweet of you, thank you very much,
I really love to be here 🙂
Why is in the rain? Who can give him an umbrella quick?
@daebaksama ,I’m going I’m going …I’ll run to him..with all my speed..
¡Oh my! Jaejoong, so beautiful and defenseless; I want to protect him; I want to dry his tears………
DAEBAK indeed! The stage is exceptional! Props to junsu and junsu’s concert team!!
IKR. Amazing.
Yes the stage is so grand, props to Junsu
but my JYJ heart is so envious, why JYJ didn’t have that kind of stage in Seoul?
Hopefully for their coming JYJ album, they can have that kind of luxury for their stage.
I think it is part of the evolution of JYJ. With each new album and concert, they are getting better and better, both the boys as well as their planning team in C-JeS. I ´m sure that the next JYJ album and concerts will continue in this trend and even surpass the current Xia tour.
@ruber
When I reread my comment, I was worried that I might be misunderstood by saying I’m envious, (since I feel some fans are so sensitive recently). Thank you for being smart and open minded, yes, that’s the keyword : evolution 🙂
@ruber tatally agree with you our boys are better ans betters that evolution make then amazing<3
Kris I totally understand you
I think cjes is learning so I hope next JYJ album will be really good and they can perform in Korea with a nice stage, have top producers and collaboratons and a hot video too.
Cjes didn’t have much experience before, but now they do, and they prove how much they have learn form past mistakes
i’m excited about what else they have to show us
@Kris @Carmila
Ditto, that’s why I can patiently await Jae’s album. I want everything to be perfect for his solo concerts. I was a little worried because when you don’t go at a fast pace like junsu, you need a well thought-out and grand stage to keep the pace.
IDK if I’m explaining it right, but Jaejoong’s solo stage needs to convey the emotion and excitement he puts into his music. I need for CJES to not mess this up. I know Jaejoong is a great director and he is really conceptual so I have no worries with that. It’s just that sometimes I don’t think CJES executes them to the fullest.
@kris
I think that not only is it that C-Jes & JYJ are still learning, & the guys themselves growing & experimenting, it also comes down to logistics, what venues that are open to them, & how much money they can afford to spend. Remember JYJ mentioned that they couldn’t do concerts at a financial loss – the insinuation I got from that being that the expense of touring Europe & S America was greater than the profit they made from that tour, but a concert tour they were determined to do to thank their fans, & help expand their fanbase. It was a viable financial loss for a greater overall gain. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if JYJ do pool an amount, although probably not all, of their profits from their solo ventures to put towards their singing career because it’s there that they are really being blocked; difficult for them to find sponsors, or even distributors etc, willing to risk working with them, so they have to pay for the majority of their expenses themselves. Therefore it stands to reason, the more CF’s they make & the more acting jobs they take, the more income they have to spend on their main career as JYJ.

Kim Jaejoong is the cutest warrior i hv ever lay my eyes upon keke
This cute warrior will be a very fierce one when we see Dr Jin ne *Kim Jaejoong Hwaiting!*
Yes, we will see the fierce Jaejoong in Dr. Jin, horseback riding with a pistol and a sword, wow!
Jaejoong has such a baby face. It’s so cute that I can look at him all day. But then I remember Dr. Jin’s teaser, are that serious man with a cold commanding voice ordering his people around and the blinking boy here really the same person? XD
[TRANS] 120518 “Dr. Jin” Kim Jae Joong: The Markings Made By The Headgear Stayed On For 10 Hours
Kim Jaejoong catches the attention of everyone as he interestingly explains the challenges faced in acting in a historical drama for the first time since his debut.
On May 17, MBC’s newest weekend drama “Dr Jin” held its press conference at Lotte Hotel in Seoul. At the press conference, Kim Jaejoong expressed, “After setting my topknot, it is really difficult for me to control my expressions. I can’t really close my eyes properly, and more often I tend to have squinted eyes.”. He continued to add, “There are also occasions where my filming schedule clashes with my other daily activities, and the marks caused by the headgear stays on for over 10 hours. It’s really quite awkward.”, causing a sea of laughter.
“When we film on a sunny day, the colour of the unexposed skin under the headgear will be totally different from my skin colour”, he proceeded to explain much about topknots, capturing the attention of the audience. In the drama, Kim jaejoong is the fiancé of Hong Young Rae (acted by Park Min Young). He acts as Kim Gyung Tak, a highly skilled swordsman with a strong self esteem.
“Dr Jin” is an adaptation from a Japanese comic, which talks about a genius surgeon who went back into history of 300 years ago during the Joseon dynasty. Starring Song Seung Hun, Lee Beom Su, Kim Jaejoong, Park Min Young, Lee Su Yeon, this drama will take over the timeslot of “Feast of The Gods”, making its debut on 26 May.

Thnks for the info^^

“he proceeded to explain much about topknots, capturing the attention of the audience.”
lol, that’s his charm.
@kris
“When we film on a sunny day, the colour of the unexposed skin under the headgear will be totally different from my skin colour” Sweetie, haven’t you ever heard of sunscreen?!
@Sapphie
From my personal experience, even with sunscreen with the highest SPF but with long exposure of intense sunlight , the skin still gets darker. Much more with Jae because he has a very white skin, so discoloration is very noticeable. 🙂
@kris
Yes. I was being a bit flippant when I wrote that!
Gosh, it’s going into winter here, & my hands are getting stiff with the cold – please forgive me everyone if my spelling suffers!
I got so much free time today and I’m just hanging in here while waiting for my daughter, hope you won’t mind if I share another video. I’d seen this before but I’m still smiling rewatching it now, sharing a smile is good deed, isn’t it ? 🙂
I can’t watch it T__T……. hi @kris^^
Hi @anva, how are you?

And so it is said that the lawsuit of sm against JYJ had concluded on May 15.
But as there is still another lawsuit of JYJ against sm which will start on June 19, the final decisions will be released only after.
This whole thing has been dragging for so long.
I’ve never doubt who’s going to be the winner coz good will overcome the evil.
However, what I do feel is, will the final verdict change whatever the entertainment industry is doing to JYJ?
Yes, the lawsuit once concluded can not be used as an excuse but it’s still up to the broadcasters to decide whether JYJ are allowed on national tv.
Till now, sm had always acted as if it’s above the law and sadly, those broadcasters are too cowardly to go against them and the law is not enforcing whatever penalties that’s supposed to be on the.
I want this whole stupid thing to end ASAP but whether it’s going to change anything remains to be seen.
it will be the result of the lawsuit??? will decide who win??? jyj or sm, and if JYJ win, SM will have to do what JYJ was asking, or maybe the court will said what sm have to do,…..
let’s pray the best for JYJ… AND, i’m sad if we fighting each other, we are family “One for All, All for one” in the name of JYJ, Amen.
Apparently the lawsuit that sm had against JYJ were already concluded. But they didn’t announce the verdict yet.
Probably sm will be fine money at most and ordered not to interfere with JYJ activities….
@shadow
I hope South Korea law not blind … we need to solve this problem soon. This is the reason why i love JYJ, they dare to live among the KPOP industry with their own hands and feet, but their enemy is the Mighty Giant Tarantulla called SME
I ´ve read the same info on twitter and it made me a little sad, the lawsuit takes too much time already, if it will continue another 3 years… Sigh.
As for the fear that the end of the lawsuit will change absolutly nothing for JYJ, that they will still be unofficially banned from broadcasters, I share it with you. I´ve somehow already accepted that the situation of the boys will not get better with time. I´m sure the boys are frustrated because of it, but the latest Xia album shows they found a way how to anticipate it in their planning and to deal with it. I still have some hope for Japan, because it is a too big market to loose it completely, I wish they had at least the same oportunities there as they have in Korea right now (acting, some concerts/FMs, CFs, album releases).
In a way, this lawsuit had forced JYJ to be even more creative.
Even fan supports have gone to another level!
I also do wish JYJ can continue in Japan which is like their second home but in Japan, that’ll be another issue with Avex.
So, just deal with Korea first then see how things go.
The boys have too many things on their hands already.
@ shadow ~ Good Day to U
TQ for posting this info i really want the Lawsuit to end coz dis lawsuit has wasted too much time!!
i hv faith JYJ will win this lawsuit but most importantly i really hope there will be a major change
in the entire Korean Broacasting Industry!! i will pray hard for a really good outcome for JYJ!!
Yes, I seriously hope the Korean law will be enforced as it should on sm and those who deliberately block JYJ.
It’ll be a really difficult thing to do but if the law allows sm and it’s lackys to continue, it just proves itself a huge joke internationally.
They mustn’t forget that since JYJ is now internationally recognized, anything that happen to them will be look upon closely.
i don’t know what exactly happen to H.O.T and shinhwa in the past, but i hope JYJ can have same privilege like the two of them. they’re all have same beginning story, but different end story.
i really envy with shinhwa. they went out from SM, make their own way for their music and career, and have a chance to perform their show at tv broadcast and some reality show.
just wish that someday our boys can have sam chance like shinhwa 😦
i’m sorry if it’s out of topic 🙂
It’s just feel like sm is going all the way out to block JYJ much more than it did to the two groups you mentioned.
I believe JYJ also want to go onto national broadcast but until this lawsuit is totally over, they will always use this excuse to not let them in.
I just hope after the verdict is announced, the broadcasters don’t be so shameless to continue blocking JYJ.
I think part of SM strategy is to drag the lawsuit as much as they can. And sadly this sort of lawsuits probably are not that important to the eyes of Korean court.
will the final verdict change whatever the entertainment industry is doing to JYJ?
I’m pessimistic about it. More so because the reason why entertainment industry treats JYJ the way they do is not because of the legal aspect of the lawsuit, but because a) SM has a lot of power and they can pressure them, b) JYJ is changing the game for everyone, not only idols and companies, but TV stations and everyone else is also affected. People not always want to move out of their comfort zone, they are too used to work the way they have been working for years and they are not whiling to change.
This has nothing to do with the lawsuit per-se, so even if it ends is possible that the situation wont change.
In the other hand if JYJ wins the lawsuit (or when jyj wins the lawsuit) TV stations will need to find other excuse, then I hope the court can do something about it this unofficial banning.
Either way JYJ is doing just fine even without the TV stations and promotions. And thou I’m sure they miss it, I really don’t want to see them in these Music shows. I find they don’t really fit that “idol” environment anymore, and is not like those music shows have that much audience anyway.
I agree~ esp on those people unwilling to change.
Let’s just really hope that as time move on, those oldies and those with that kind of thinking get over taken by a group of people who have more vision about the future.
Just read this article, http://www.allkpop.com/2012/05/hallyu-wave-expected-to-cool-down-in-the-next-four-years-koreatimes-reports
Which is talking about how the Hallyu wave will die down in a few years. If those people don’t change their mentally, that will inevitably happen.
I’m glad JYJ are considered, at least in my eyes, out of the common mold.
@Shadow
Can I tell you a dirty little secret? The big Entertainment bosses and the Korean Govt. Knows this already. That’s why they a pushing this Hallyu invasion thing so hard right now. Think about it if they really thought this was a lasting thing they would treat it like the Japanese treated Jpop and Manga’s. It wasn’t something that hit right away, they slowly let it infiltrate the international community.
They were content to let it build as a nitch market and go from there. That’s why the culture has been able to last as long as it has.
In America the Cultural inference as far as nature and the country side has been here for a long time due to immigration, but the pop culture aspect of Japan is fairly recent in USA.
@jaeftw
Out of topic, but I’m really happy to see you still commenting. 🙂
@shadow
“I want this whole stupid thing to end ASAP but whether it’s going to change anything remains to be seen.”
That’s my feeling too. Has anyone heard anymore about SM being fined for blocking JYJ? That just seems to have been brushed under the carpet too. Personally I think there is a lot of bribery, favors & blackmail going on that’s keeping the blocking so strong, & no court verdict in favor of JYJ is going to end that. About the only thing JYJ can do is keep working hard, keep themselves in the public eye, & gain more fans who will work with us older fans to keep the blocking relevant & put it in front of the public – ie, make the general non-pop-idol loving public aware of what is going on & why, & why at the end of the day, corruption & exploitation in an industry that they aren’t involved in does affect them, even indirectly, because it clearly shows corruption, exploitation, abuse of power & collusion between government, big business & the powers that be, that permeates & trickles down into all areas of government & business.
I think SM is holding out until JYJ go into the military, something that they HAVE to do. In his arrogance, LSM probably believes that most JYJ fans will forget about the guys & move on to the next prettily packaged idol group, & that JYJ will come out of the military to a greatly reduced fan base that will greatly lessen their chances of survival.
@Shadow
Fortunately JYJ is doing excellently despite the lack of broadcastings, the multiple interferences and the blockings. And the fact that makes me happy is that day by day they have more I-fans from all around the world. JYJ men are great and admirable.
Haven’t commented in a long time.
After the lawsuit is over….I doubt JYJ will be allowed on TV. Maybe after they have finished military the industry will be more lenient but not now. Even Shinhwa who decided not to resign AFTER their contracts were over were blocked in the industry till after military was over.
I don’t think the entertainment industry has ‘blocked’ artists as their top priority right now. There are so many things wrong with it……at at institutional level. People are going on strike and leaving their jobs because they want change in broadcasting companies or want the CEO to change. Also, on entertainment channels if someone speaks negatively of the current government they can get fired from their job and blocked.
The problem is with the government. If the government changes maybe JYJ will see the light at the end of the tunnel. South Korea is currently running on a ‘fake democracy’ system….when if fact it is tightly controlled.
On the topic of music shows……..even though their ratings are low they highly influence the public in general. Some of the songs that are popular in Korea right now….like Bigbang’s Fantastic Baby would have not been that popular if they had not promoted them. In South Korea and internationally most of the viewers of these shows watch them online….to filter the songs they want to listen to or find new music. These music shows still play a huge role in introducing people to songs and groups.
I do think the music industry in South Korea is killing itself. Most of the groups that still sell well are old generation idol groups (DBSK, BigBang, Super Junior, JYJ, SNSD, etc.) the other groups do not do that well. And the newbies are selling VERY little compared to the amount of promotions they do. The majority of groups that sell well right now in Korea are male groups who will eventually have to go to the military. I imagine the KPop industry losing hype during that period. Unless the girl groups start releasing actually good content. =___=
Maybe SNSD will last for a longer while but eventually people will get bored of them as they get older and appear more and more fake. They ill probably start doing more solo activities too.
Although…..by some newbie groups I am impressed even though they have not grabbed me. I like Infinite’s dances…..and I like B.A.P.’s charisma even though their songs haven’t really hooked me.
okay, so today I finally watched “heaven’s postman” and I was awed. I remember jaejoong said that he regretted his acting in the film so I didn’t want to watch it knowing that it would be a disappointment. but a free day, coupled with itchy fingers on youtube brought me to the show and honestly, I thought he did well. it wasn’t a role that required deep acting skills, more of a honest, simple and laid-back flavour which he did manage to bring across. I really liked the ending song so I went searching for it and *&#$@/ cos apparently rights to the song are held by SM and they didn’t release it, so that effectively kicked me out of happy land into the current ranting mood.
oh well, I’m just excited to see jaejoong mature even more as an actor in the upcoming drama. I notice that in the above photos, he’s changed out of the red official garments into a casual blue outfit. I hope it means that they’ve made significant progress with the filming and are at least on the 3rd episode cos with the massive media exposure, expectations are running sky high and it would be difficult to ensure high quality if there isn’t enough time for editing.
and now, cheers to junsu’s 2nd solo concert in an hour. I watched the fancams and he’s proven himself as a top performer once again. oh so proud! I listened to lullaby before sleeping the past few nights, but now, hmm, it doesn’t feel right anymore.
ah, I meant to write a short post but it ended up like this, so I shall stop here.
P.S: I read ytd’s GAPP but didn’t find it appropriate to comment since I rarely appear. I’m thankful to anyone who’s attempting to suggest improvements to make the site more hospitable to all JYJ fans. *sends my love*
I’m just excited to see jaejoong mature even more as an actor in the upcoming drama””
Me too, i want to see the difference between both the moovies and the dramas…
@ kexion ~ Wishing U a happy day 😀
i hv faith Jaejoong will impress us more n leave us breathless with his abilities^^
Thnk U for posting yr thoughts n oppinions here n i really hope U will visit JYJ3 more often 😀
@Kexion
“I hope it means that they’ve made significant progress with the filming and are at least on the 3rd episode cos with the massive media exposure, expectations are running sky high and it would be difficult to ensure high quality if there isn’t enough time for editing.”
Truer words have never been spoken. Especially with a historical drama, Script comes first and Editing comes second. I know when the drama first was announced some people were complaining about SSH and then PMY because of their acting. But I was optimistic because this was a historical drama and the story could pick up the slack if the actors weren’t up to snuff.
It’s the other way around for modern drama’s IMO, which is why I was really happy with the actors for PTB.
Hi JYJers~
I can’t believe this week will be the last week of Rooftop Prince! Seriously, time flew so fast I don’t think I had the time to stop and take a breath and suddenly, it’s the 2nd last week of May already! I need to change my mantra from Lee Gak to Kyung Tak
Lee Gak
Kyung Tak Kyung Tak Kyung Tak Kyung Gak Lee Tak Kyung Gak Lee Tak Kyung Tak Kyung Gak Kyung Tak Kyung Gak Lee Tak Kyung Gak Lee Tak Kyung Tak Kyung Gak Kyung Tak Kyung Gak Lee Tak Kyung Gak Lee Tak Kyung Tak Kyung Gak Kyung Tak
Oh my…I hope I won’t be crying rivers over the OTP on Rooftop Prince and there’s so much going on I can’t even believe my heart has to let go of Lee Gak so soon but thankfully the other soulmate will be saving my heart but somehow…reading the summary of Kyung Tak…;__;
Anyway…I’m gonna go and drown myself in Xia-sama’s awesomeness and sexiness. Before I start crying a river over Rooftop Prince and the loss of the ever so elusive Park Yoochun and salvaging the loneliness with Kyung Tak and anticipating the date for Junsu’s Jakarta concert.
ciao~
we will miss our Highness Lee Gak for sure T________T
Hi@ryther, are you going to junsu’s JKT concert? I rmmber you did asked, but at that time I can’t make up my mind, but I just received my CD & seeing the pics & fancams makes me feels like going, 🙂
Junsu’s second day concert..
He will grant 3 wishes again..
And fans asked him to open his clothes.. lol..
LOL … fans always use the best change if they can LOLLLL
It’s 2:30a here in the AK(so sleepy) and it should be 7:30p in Seoul…JUNSU TIME!!! 😀 Have a great 2nd day concert~and Su do not grant that wish *0*
I ´m currently in Xia appreciation mode. Please everyone, post as many nice fancams and fanaccounts as possible.
Confession: When I watch Junsu performing on stage alone, I´m forgetting the existence of my Jae. And when I watch Yoochun´s acting, especially his trademark smile, my knees are getting weak. Jae is still my bias, but the other two are only a baby step behind. We are blessed to have 3 such extraordinary members in one group. Peace.
Aww such a sweet pic~~ Junsu & his mom^^

I’ve just read our GAPP yesterday….so hot.
Time to chill down, enjoy JYJ music, and relax everybody….that’s the main point of being JYJ fans (and my reasons for being here)
My all time favourite Junsu song. I love his musicals to pieces, other solos or his group singing, but this is my ultimative obsession:

Good morning everyone!
After yesterday GAPP I was curious about the change of the dynamics for today GAPP
Being honest I was worried people will feel hesitant to spazz or to start a conversation feeling “policed” so to speak
But I think is doing just fine eh? Glad to see everyone here today having a good time.
@Carmila
I think atm we are seeing more of what GAPP used to be, a combination of fun spazzing & good conversation. 🙂 I’m really enjoying it. 🙂 & I hope we can keep it this way.
hi guys ! i read all the comment on the last GAPP , and i was thinking why we dont try to open conversation about fun and interesting subjects and just forget about who our baises are and just be a jyj lover 😀
so for first try i have a question :
which female singer do you like to do a duet with jyj ?
personlly i love brown eyed girls and i love to see them singing with our boys . and new soloist too , her name is Ailee and she is great .
please tell me what do you think ?? i love to know your option 😀
@shana Hi! One that I know Junsu would love to duet with is Beyonce, he mentioned once he would like to meet her. And the second would be Shakira!
@Shana
I don’t know enough female Asian artists to say, but on an international scale, I would love for JYJ to work with a Portuguese Fado singer called Mariza. (Fado is a little like the Portuguese version of the blues.) Her voice is incredibly rich, deep, nuanced & full of emotion & she has enormous control over it. As talented as JYJ are, I think they could learn a lot from her, & the thought of them dueting with her gives me goosebumps!! I know alot of JYJ fans don’t like her, but Jaejoong himself is a fan of Lady Gaga, & I think a lot of what she is credited for is comparable to what they are trying to do – break free of the run-of-the-mill pop formula & express their own individuality & originality. (Personally I don’t know how successful Lady Gaga is at this. I like some of her songs, but I’m not a fan as such, & it seems to me that while her videos are intentionally shocking, the songs themselves aren’t really all that original. For me she is a bit like the equivalent of popcorn movies – the blockbusters you enjoy, but not the deep, intense, emotional films that really make you think & feel & question.) But for purely pragmatic reasons, JYJ dueting or working with Lady Gaga could be a HUGE boost for them internationally – let’s face it, like her or not, she has millions of devoted fans who follow her every move & she could single-handedly catapult JYJ onto the international stage in a big way. & as unfortunate as it is, we all know there is still an enormous amount of racism in the world & Lady Gaga’s “little monsters” celebrate being different. As such, they might be more willing to embrace Kpop as opposed to say Kanye West’s fans.
I would really love it though if JYJ would do a song, or (greedy me) even a mini album with BB. I’m loving their song Blue, & even more loving Fantastic Baby, & as different as they are, I would love to see JYJ jamming with BB, letting loose & getting their freak on!!!
Sorry Shana, but I don’t have any idea of it….since I’m not familiar with K-pop singers. I know only JYJ and things related to JYJ. (he he). But, let me try to. I’d like to listen to duet of Junsu and Baek Ji Young. They’ll make great ballad song. or else, try 2NE1 and JYJ. for me 2NE1 is quite different. They have their own style, not identical as fake-cute and try-to-be-sexy girl bands…..They dare to be different, just as our JYJ. Move out of the box….
actually they are my favorite girl group , but their songs are very different from jyj,s 😀
@shana
But they can try a song like Lonely, it was played in one of our malls and then I realized it’s a “so good to listen song”
and I agree with @khristinjyjinside, 2ne1 is the only female kpop group I see that doesn’t capitalized much with their body/legs and butt shaking and their MVs are also too different from the rest .
that’s my point. JYJ can work with them without loosing their characters, but try to blend the music and create something new. 🙂 btw, it’s just about our personal preference
@khristinjyjinside
I like the concept of 2NE1 & their videos, more than their actual songs 😦 Which disappoints me, because I do like the fact that they are different, & are doing their own thing (& that they don’t have the fake-too-cute-it’s-annoying-act going on). & I like that their videos are a bit more artistic, rather than dance-oriented shoving their breasts, butt & crotch in your face.
I see. @Sapphire….Well, JYJ + Lady Gaga= JYJ Gaga ga ga ga ga.. It’s cool.
How about JYJ + Beyonce. Jae loves Beyonce’s songs very much. 😉
@khristinjyjinside
JYJ + Beyonce would smash the house down!! 🙂
Not sure about Korean artists, but in Japan ther’s plenty of option,
Koda Kumi collabotated with them in THSK & it was impressive….so yeak Koda, or a duet between Ayumi & JJ will also be lovely….
yessss i love ayumi ! i love to see them singing in one stage 😀
Must see video… Yoochun before after..so dorable..4 all JYJers and Chunsas …
I love this too… He’s just being a dork! 😛
@masi awww so cute… I love his voice I just wish I knew what he was saying.
I’m wishing someone out there will be kind enough to translate… 😦
Yoochun!!!! 🙂 thanks syirafm
((o-ω-)♡(−ω-o))park yuchun is a gift from GOD !!
thank you for sharing this.
i just never get tired looking at his flawless handsome face^^
@syirfam
Thanks for the vid! So cute, I love everything about Yuchun, from his eyes that smile into perfect crescents, to his pouty lips, to his heart shaped adams apple, to his straight as a rod collarbones, and all the way down to his perpetually flip flop clad feet.
Love love love~! I have a thing for long hair Chun. Long hair gives him an artistic/romantic air. I wish he didn’t cut his hair for a while (too late though).
@Kpop
Thanks ^^
Woah! YC’s message^^ My heart palpitated softly ◕ ◡ ◕
Alright, My Sunday is completed XD
First, My feeling is so happy to receive IJIJ’s message which I surmise may be Our JJ ^^ ( I’m naive, I want to dream that is our JJ ! XD)
Second, watching XiaJunsu ‘s solo concert from fancams. Hot!
Third, YC’s smile How astig!!
Hello Everyone!
I have a question that I would like to ask but I’m not sure where to ask it……I’m fairly new fan of KPOP(about a year or so) & JYJ is the reason I love KPOP today. I know about the JYJ & SM issues(although I don’t understand it all) I do find that I like some of the groups under the SM label. There are songs that I would like to have but being that they are under the SM Label I feel that I shouldn’t own them out of loyalty to JYJ. How do you deal with this? Does anyone have a straight out boycott of SM & all of their artist? I hope this makes sense!
Thanks for your advice!!
dealing with this kind of issue is really sensitive.
Personally… You have to make your own choice… either you straight boycott all SM products or buy/support both SM or JYJ.
but for loyalty sake and my humanitarian responsibility… I would boycott SM… a company/business continues to flourish if their are people buying their product. SM uses this money to continue to harass JYJ’s activities-banning them in S Korea and Japan. So in my perspective, I would rather not purchase nor follow any SM products. I would never give SM a single cent of my savings to be used against JYJ.
@Jean
Loving JYJ has slowly introduced me to other KPop acts, mainly because I discovered my local PopAsia music video show & keep waiting (in vain) for them to play JYJ. There are other KPop acts whose songs I like – but I’m essentially a JYJ fan who likes a lot of Big Bang. I won’t however purchase or in any way support any SM act, or Avex, due to their blocking of JYJ in S Korea & Japan, because I know full well that a share of the profits these acts make SM & Avex will very probably be used to continue blocking JYJ. I’m not into bashing the artists, because it’s not their fault, & they are trying to live out their own dreams, & being exploited by their own company in the process. But no way no how is SM in particular going to see a cent of my money or an iota of my support until they end the blocking, pay JYJ the money they owe them, & preferably throw in a very gracious, very grovelling personal & public apology to Jaejoong, Chunnie, Junsu & C-Jes. (BB is not with SM btw.) That’s my personal feeling. Where you stand on the issue however is one for you to decide.
Welcome to JYJ3 😀
Hallo Jean
My situation is easier they yours as I have no favourite group from SME. So it´s easy to boycott them for the most time. The only problem comes with old SM/AVEX stuff like albums or DVDs. I would like to buy them but don´t want to give my hard earned money to either of these companies. If law-enforcement as well as public opinion in Korea can ´t change SM behaviour, the only remaining way is trough $$.
I also have a similar opinion about the SM artists as Sapphire voiced it above, I don´t like the bashing I sometimes see. They are just trying to live their dream, just like JYJ when they were younger.
i have same opinion with the 3 person above me 🙂
thank God i don’t like SM’s artist
its up what you think it is right for you .. with me like all sis said above … those company cant get my money at all !!!
Thanks Ladies!!! You’ve made my choice very easy! No SME for me!! And thank you also for the warm welcome!

Girls and Guys
Please be vigilant to some of the commentors here.
They might be trolls trying to destroy our peace and harmony.
Regarding that RARE kind of comment, it’s quite suspicious, I myself thought it must be Jae but why would he use the ENGLISH names for Chun and Xia?
For me: Until I receive something that will prove it’s legitimacy I will be vigilant to it.
That’s all! Good Day to all ^^

@MINMIN
I kind of wondered if @Anonymous yesterday was one of JYJ, or a friend or family member of theirs. @Yna translated & part of @Anonymous’ comment included how upset the guys would be if they knew fans were fighting over them. & I think most of us secretly hope that JYJ know JYJ3 exists & maybe even lurk here occasionally. Look how excited we all got when @beyondmonica tweeted the JYJ3.net page saying that Jaejoong had won some sexiest man comp to Jaejoong’s twitter! But when deleting the @ijij comment, admins made it a point to say that they know the ip address was from outside of S Korea & that they also know that commentators other user names! I kinda hoped that maybe it was Jaejoong, Chunnie or Junsu getting a friend more fluent in English who lives outside of S Korea to comment for them, but that’s probably just extreme wishful thinking!
