so happy^^ JYJ daebak!!
so happy for them! there is no one better to be ambassadors as we all know by now! to be recognized like this again and again is the whipped cream on the cake of success! now let them perform too!!!:)
YAY! Couldn’t get any happier! a lot of good news from our boys, also i like Lee si young. It sounds like A SUPER AWESOME EVENT!
Yay! So happy for our boys! This is such amazing news. They’ve worked so hard to overcome so much the past few years. When it rains, it pours.. only more good stuff to come for them.
But they have to sing during the promotions….can they?#puppy eyes…im extremely proud when they mentioned extremely popular in asia and internationally…go jyj!this is your year….
Wow! This is so exciting; another honor for JYJ!!! What I like most is the fact that the organizers are up front about wanting JYJ’s popularity to attract people to this event.^^ Now if the broadcasters could just see the light.
i remember how shallow i was back then, imagining that JYJ should be appointed as a mere welcome/closing act singer to foreign tourists entering the country (maybe in a form of some k-pop join concerts). This has not been happening untill now, heck thanks to the bully systems excluding jyj from any k-pop join concerts!!! damn!!!
Now i realize, with this so many national/regional/international level ambassadorships, i think it gives the same vibe as what i want JYJ to be recognized by somehow joining k-pop join concerts, but just in a different and more meaningful value to JYJ, i bet many other idols group will also be willing to take over JYJ’s ambassadorship now. But still i hope to see JYJ in k-pop join concerts.

And that’s how we grow and mature together with JYJ through JYJ fandom.
I think JYJ’s fandom has the most mature and professional fans because we go through hardship with them, walking with them, support them in so many ways tirelessly despite their ban and sufferings, and because of these, bothJYJ and us Fans value each otjer even more, learning from each other, inspiring one another. Genuine JYJ fans, that is.
Typo -_-
*each other
Good job JYJ! LOL. There’s a lot of ambassadorship they’re doing all this while! XDD It seems it was only yesterday I read news about them performing in the Blue House.
Now, with all of this appointment, is there any more reasons for banning these awesome n talented men from SK broadcasting TV? Stop torturing desperate fans and start broadcasting JYJ on TV!
Omg… how much I wanted to see them on TV
T___T
Seriously, JYJ fans should go ahead and call themselves “ambassadors”. It’s totally befitting.
ahaha.. great idea 😀
The idea wasn’t mine, but I loved it the minute I heard it.
Yeah more awesome news for JYJ!!!!!I I am so happy for them!!!!
Great news … 2013 is the year of JYJ ….. 🙂
Reblogged this on JYJ FAN”ANTIC”
Reblogged this on luminarytriad.
Should make a movie called ‘The Ambassadors’ starring JJ as ‘the prince’, YC as ‘the boss’ & YS as err…’the cute devil’?
Maybe i should go for screening test as well. Any character will do (well, almost ^^)
can’t be seen on any usual entertainment show or program yet but can be seen through international special event…….Thanks to God since early year of 2013 there are many good news from our boys…… i am really happy 😀 😀
they really deserve it 😉
Will there be an opening ceremony and they will be on it. I may to Korea if that happens. And oh if they’re going to promote overseas…please come to Manila ❤
My goodness, what’s the world coming to! Miscreants and troublemakers who file lawsuits to extracate themselves from slave plantations, being heralded as ambassadors once again because they are popular throughout an entire region. Geez, what will they think of next.
I’m waiting for whatever silly assinine reason they will provide when people begin demanding why JYJ are not invited to appear on industry related programs. In the face of legitimate organizations asking JYJ to agree promoting for their country, their country’s TV stations act like they cannot find the requisite equipment down below to do what they should be doing.
Well JYJ, you continue doing what you do best. Continue being the talented, personable, charismatic, smart artists you are. This is a quite lethal combination. It’s been known to cause severe fainting, nosebleeds, ovaries exploding, irregular heartbeats, you name it. Keep up the good work guys. 😉
2013，the year of JYJ to rock！
