Sasaeng fans, in order to discover the private life of a certain celebrity and his/her every move, chase after him/her day and night. We’re referring to hardcore fans.
Up to recently, no, up to now, the sasaeng fans controversy is still the talk of the town. Movie <Code name: Jackal> comically conjures up that not-easy-to-tell story.
The highlight is the scene of bloody fight with sasaeng fan. In the movie, sasaeng fan sneaks into Kim Jaejoong’s house while he’s sleeping soundly and takes picture of him, watches over his every move. His swollen lips, his insecure face might arouse laughter but to some persons, it’s not easy to smile while watching that scene in the movie. What might be the reason?
Seeing JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong, who is pointed out as the biggest victim of sasaeng fans, directly talk about sasaeng fans somehow make me feel uncomfortable. The sasaeng fans that have harassed Kim Jaejoong, I wonder what they will think if they watch the movie.
“When I first read the scenario, I was like ‘Oh my!’ There is really a story about sasaeng fans [in the movie]. Haha. But if you look at the big flow of the movie, that stalker girl is an important factor to add more fun to the movie. That’s why I had some fun reading the scenario.“
The reproof must be accurate because it comes out from the person directly involved. Nobody wants his/her own story to be dug up. They want to talk about it themselves.
“It is not my intention. That story was already in the scenario before I was casted. I thought that it would make everyone laugh. You seem so serious about it. Haha.”
Actually, there is nothing related to his own story in the movie. That Kim Jaejoong only exists in the scenario. I asked him, “What will sasaeng fans think when they watch the movie?” “They will probably look at the sasaeng fan in the movie and say something like ‘Why is she so ugly?’ Even if they watch the movie, they won’t feel anything.”

I wouldn’t expect much reflection. Crazy people never admit to being crazy.
I’m glad to see Jaejoong is at a place where he can put it all in perspective. Way to go JJ.
lol .. True xD
Can’t wait to watch the movie!!!
YES…… UNFORTUNATELY THEY FEEL NO REGRETS………
and they think their presence is necessary in idols life … Ugh .
“they won’t feel anything” sad but true.
On a lighter note, Jae is rocking the sweaters this season. I find myself looking forward to seeing Jae on different sweaters. For some reason I find them kind of sexy.
Love Jae’s reply “They will probably look at the sasaeng fan in the movie and say something like ‘Why is she so ugly?’ Even if they watch the movie, they won’t feel anything.” Totally spot on!!!
Haha JJ so funny!
Jackal, being a comedy movie but got a lot of sensitive issues in it such as this sasaeng fans controversy,
It’s a risky move for Jaejoong to take it as his debut movie, but I think that’s what he loves most, the more risk the more thrill in it!
“even if they watch the movie, they won’t feel anything”
this is so sad. jaejoong sounds so resigned.
Please vote for Jaejoong’s Dr. Jin http://www.koreandrama.org/?p=23799 1 IP address can only vote for 1 time/day
Jae is right on target in his assessment of these people; he addressed the issue with clarity and wit, then moved on!
Wow… I’m actually quite shocked.. I didn’t expect any sasengs in the movie >_<
I'm a little worried now… I mean us fans can understand him… but the other people who watch it will be reminded. Their minds will instantly shift away from the movie and be reminded of that incident that they probably couldn't understand..
But this also makes Jaejoong really admirable at the same time. No other celeb would come right out and address a scandal, no even re-act it on a BIG screen for more people to see!! If this was SM we were talking about, or about any entertainment company in Korea, they would run away as soon as they read the script, they would refuse it because it will re open closed wounds…
I'm only a little worried for him, I know this could be good too, as they will shed light on the celeb's side of the story, and the saseng will look really bad! But I just can't stop worrying. I'm afraid to read the comments of the movie now T^T
Seriously, I was like O.O at the ‘they will feel nothing’. There is an essence of pain in his words. T.T
i’ve met some of them, not exactly sasaeng “fans”, but i think they’re on the same state of mind, those crazy and delusional people don’t realize at all that their doings are totally wrong.. gosh ><
