Yay! It’s finally our turn again! And there’s going to be a lot to discuss this month too. The concerts (omg, the CONCERTS!!) and soon we’ll find out who JYJ’s new entertainment partner in Japan is. Whoever it is I hope they are watching the massive attendance and adoring fans at TD and saying to themselves “Damn, we made a GOOD investment in JYJ!”
Whichever company it is @lili I hope they won’t miss the opportunity to have JYJ on radio, variety shows, maybe even a drama or two^^ While JYJ is free to focus on JYJ stuf, this company needs to get the boys involved!!!
@xiaspearl12
I totally agree with you. They need some quality time to just be JYJ again.
🙂
Yes, yes, all of this and more: “JYJ on radio, variety shows, maybe even a drama or two^^ While JYJ is free to focus on JYJ stuf, this company needs to get the boys involved!!!”
Hello my VE Sister,
I just want to say HIP HIP HURRAY!! This is what I’m screaming! This is how pros do it. And guess what, they won’t have to whine about promotional costs. Because the investments made on promotion, what little they were able to do, in such a short time, paid off in spades. Who knows, they might even be able to give lessons on how it’s done. 😉
If they still haven’t chosen, and that is still a possibility, all those who are in the running should take notice…these are no neophytes here. These are seasoned pros with talent to spare. They know what they want and WILL NOT go down the road they went down before. So come to the table in earnest, with your best offer. Don’t try and BS them.
I’m loving each and every moment. With one more day to go, all the analysis will show three young men who put on a fabulous show and give the people their money’s worth. And nothing says it better than word of mouth. So when they guys are ready to take on a whole Japanese tour…look out!
No doubt about it, this concert series has been an unprecedented success. The Japanese fans have won a permanent place in my heart from now on. I kept thinking, “!!@$%@$@#, S.Korea – why can’t you treat your national treasure JYJ the way the Japanese do???” It will be interesting to see what JYJ makes of all this. “Gee, what to do? Stay at home and continue to be dissed and blocked at every turn or go back to Japan and be treated like Kings…Hmmmmm……..”
But as an I-Fan, I can only anticipate the next studio recording the guys do. For me, that’s still going to be the gold standard and true bell-weather for how the group is doing overall. I don’t know about anyone else, but I personally couldn’t make heads nor tails of what or how well Jaejoong and Yuchun were doing vocally from the fancams. The room sound and overall echo problems of that gigantic space simply ate up their voices, to my ear anyway. Junsu – whole different story. For me the concerts were all about, all taken over by ~Junsu Time~ He truly ruled the stage and oddly, I could hear every note he sang as opposed to Yuchun – honestly I heard nothing of his voice but echo-filled vibrato.
So now I’m hoping JYJ will still go ahead with the next English language album as promised but as a friend noticed and pointed out to me today on Facebook, Bruce Vanderveer and Niddy Buckner have been strangely silent about the 2 concerts so far… it doesn’t necessarily mean anything but then again… that’s exactly what I would expect would happen if they’d suddenly gotten the word that all recording plans are on hold in favor of a new Japanese album. I guess we’ll see. I sure do want to know who the new Japanese partner is…. the suspense is killing me… 🙂
SK, is well, SK, what can I say. They just don’t seem to have it in them to address what is wrong with this situation. And for a nation that is image conscious, they don’t appear to give a fig how their’s is being played around the world. But for me as long as the guys continue breaking new ground, grow, and reap the rewards of their hard work, I’m good to go. I sincerely believe it will all fall into place when and how it should. This is the way the Universe works. The guys are JYJ of SK, I would not expect anything more than them staying true to who they are. Not envisioning any of that scenario you put forth. No matter how much we, as I-fans, would like to see them just chuck it all and leave, not going to happen.
Quite honestly, the quality of a great number of these fancams has not been all that good. Some of course better than others, but still not as good as those at other times. Who knows, maybe there will be better ones before this is all over. I’m actually having a problem with the buffering issue. For me they are really loading badly. From what I’ve been able to detect, Chunnie sounds much better even with the not so great quality. Jae is probably hampered with the cold he has. Not to mention the fact he is probably worn out working both sides of the stage – producing and performing. Junsu, well he’s just able to sound good no matter what. 🙂 There could also be an issue about the usage of the live band. I know they used one for the Thanksgiving concert series, but the stage layout was different as well. That was pretty much in the round. I’ll bet the speaker layout was different for that. This place is huge, and without the normal kpop music backup, I’m guessing the live band playing is a challenge. Not to mention the fact this is a small band, not an orchestral size group. But we’ll have to wait and see how the dvd sounds when it comes out. 😉
Why would they not go ahead with the English language album? Just because they are doing these concerts now does not mean they will scrap plans already announced. Regarding Vanderveer and Buckner, even though there have been Twitter comments before, doesn’t preclude them having private communiques. Yes, I think everyone is on pins and needles about who the new partner will be. I’m still thinking PC, but we’ll have to wait and see.
@Lilybaiyu, Well articulated and stated… I dared send a twit to Vanderveer yesterday and he replied and included Xia, so I hope he is cooking something good as they say. https://mobile.twitter.com/BruceAutomatic/status/319227859149406208

Hi girls (⌒‿⌒) I hope everyone’s healthy and happy (⌒‿⌒) I have ~ I guess it is ~ an unpopular opinion… after seeing this fur stuff on JJ yesterday and also JS on his Ballade concerts and some times before, I was wondering if this is real fur?! Because this broke my heart… so, do you think it’s really… I honestly wish it’s not, it makes me sad every time I see this (but not only on them btw). Yeah, so, what do you think?
@makiforjyj These guys are savvy, educated men; (not to mention Junsus’ recent role as narrator for a nature show). Not being able to check the labels on their outfits, but just looking at fotos of this ‘fur’; it doesn’t look like any animal I’ve ever seen. I would like to think the JYJ members would not be a party to the end of an innocent animals life in exchange for a fashionable look. Imo 😀
@xiaspearl12
I would like to think so too actually (*⌒‿⌒*) … I am/was really worried, bcz it’s currently very trendy (again) and used alot in Korean fashion (and worldwide too) as we can for example see in k-dramas alot of times, some is real, some not, so… but thank you so much for your opinion Pearl and btw, it makes me happy that you think like that about abusing animals for fashion purposes. (*¯︶¯*) ♥
Hi Maki!
I’m Cheryl and I’ve lurked here for a while but just started posting comments.
Mostly when I think they might be helpful, Lol!
The fur the guys (especially JJ,) are wearing looks like faux Chinchilla to me.
I can’t imagine how hot and uncomfortable real Chinchilla would be on stage.
Don’t worry they both love animals so much I’m sure they wouldn’t wear real fur.
@Cheryl
Thank you Cheryl for “coming out” and sharing your opinion ^^
I haven’t thought of Chinchilla at all, bcz real Chinchillas have shorter fur, it isalso fluffier and also the structure is different (my sis has Chinchillas, so I know how it looks like), I thought of dog or fake, I can’t really figure it out. According to fan accounts of the concerts JJ is wearing the coats only a very short time. To be clear, I have no doubt that they love animals, it’s just that many ppl don’t connect… on the one hand loving animals, but on the other hand eating them, wearing leather, wool, etc. . But well, that’s a totally other disussion. And btw, come out more often and join us all ^^
@makiforjyj
To me it looks like wolf or fox.
Raccoon and they can wear as many of those as they want do not believe the cute little disney movies those things are vicious I still have nightmares from babysitting when I was younger and they did a full assult on he house my poor grandfather next door thought someone was trying to break in little did he know not humans but raccons coming thru windows and the chimney chute the mom left open as a former vet tech. I love animals so sorry after having something bare its teeth at you and attack with such force please people wear raccons so for the raccon lovers….. so sorry for statement but I so mean it…
@greyfox
First, greyfox, I’m not a child anymore, regarding your Disney comment, so don’t worry. Second, your argument is invalid for me, what’s that logic? “Some raccons” attacked me, so let’s kill them all brutaly”, well, no comment on that. Third, no need to say you are sorry, because you are not at all.
You are right I want say I am sorry
@makiforjyj
It certainly looked like real fur to me. It seems the “No Fur” movement hasn’t reached Korea yet. I see it regularly on TV and film personalities there. People have been wearing fur for centuries, especially in frigid climates like Korea. If anything, it’s been a status symbol and a fashion statement. It just takes education and explaining to people exactly how fur producers either mistreat and kill their caged, farm bred animals or hunt them in the wild with cruel traps. Usually, once people find out what this industry does to little animals whose only crime is being born with fur, it’s a pretty easy decision to stop wearing fur. There are certainly plenty of alternatives.
@lilibaiyu
It does for you? Hmmm… I just saw some better pics of this short coat and still, I don’t know. I know what to look for when I have the coat in my hands, but not like that, on a picture, but unlike Cheryl, I thought more of dog.
The “No Fur” movement hasn’t reached parts of the western world too, since it’s very much fashionable this session, for example Marc Jacobs using dog fur, but proclaming it as faux or my chief, who’s wearing fur and well, to say it nicely, she doesn’t care as long as it looks good…
Me personally, I don’t get what education is needed to understand that this is another beings skin and fur. But as I’ve wrote to Cheryl too, I can only hope that this is faux fur and not real one. As you’ve wrote yourself, there are so many alternatives.
Btw, I really admire Lee Hyori, she’s vegan (in Korea!!) and also decided to no longer make CV’s for cosmetic companies testing on animals or companies involved in animal cruelty. In the beginning she got criticized for thinking too high of herself, when she only cared for animals ~ luckily this is not anymore the case. As I’ve said, I admire her, alot.
not to be a party pooper: do you eat meat, do you have leather bags, wallets, shoes, belts, do you eat candy w/ gelatine? etc those are from animals who are also sacrificed for human consumption, enjoyment, so on and so forth.
@daebaksama
I was thinking that exact same thing while I was writing what I wrote. lol I eat a lot of chicken and the things they do to farm-raised chicken are nightmarish. So you’re right. It is a bit hypocritical to feel this way but it’s very very easy not to wear fur – nobody would be strained in any way by saving those poor animals..
@daebaksama
Don’t worry, you’re not at all a party pooper. To answer yours and lilibayu’s question, I live vegan, so I don’t eat, wear or use anything that contains or could contain parts from animals or go to zoo’s, aquariums, etc.
Wow! I take my hat off to you. That’s indeed dedication. Respect.
@lilibaiyu
Lilibaiyu, I hope it’s ok to direct you to my answer to daebaksama ^^
I’m sitting here with my sweet little poodle, praying they aren’t wearing dogs!
@Maki, my good friend has a chinchilla, he is so cute. And they have the nicest softest fur ever.
I had heard that there is a shortage of good faux fur, but not that Marc Jacobs was using dog fur and passing it off at faux. Thats reprehensable, really hope a supplier lied to his company, or I’m never buying anything else from him!
Sorry, this is off topic.
I don’t like the fur thing. I think it takes away from Jae. He is already a feast for the eyes…he doesn’t need a bear rug on his back.
@Cheryl
Oh, I’m really sorry Cheryl for mentioning that. I just found the article again, it’s raccoon, but well, that’s not better either.
The fur of Chinchillas is really amazing, but hell I’m afraid of them, since I know they can bite my finger of just like that, so I never touch them (>‿<)
Here’s the article if you are interested in reading it: http://girliegirlarmy.com/style/20130309/marc-jacobs-faux-furs-revealed-to-be-dog/ ~ this site promotes cruelty free fashion & shopping tips (⌒‿⌒)
@Pinky I totally agree! Really JJ please don’t cover up like that. We want to see your beautiful muscles, and you work so hard for them, it’s a crime not to show them off.
@Makiforjyj don’t feel bad I’m glad to know about MJ, knowledge is power. I will read the article after work today.
fur in kpop fashion has been a thing for some time now, you’ll find it mostly in award shows ( golden disk, mama.. ) I remember it since 2007 .. and it goes for both women and men . so it’s not surprising to see anyone wearing it .
but honestly …fur is so unattractive to me , I’ve never seen a fur piece that I liked .
Try Raccon
@meme & JYJ
I’ve noticed it too, it has been and is still used extensively… unfortunatelly.
@makiforjyj
I don’t know if you’ve heard the news, but the European Union has banned all cosmetic testing on animals!!! 😀 I know most beauty companies will just go & test in countries outside of Europe, but at least it’s a start. Plus Lancome has perfected synthetic human skin which actually gives much more reliable results of how make-up & beauty products will react to human skin than testing on animals does. Like you, I really, really hope that it’s faux fur Jaejoong is wearing, but like you said, often people simply don’t get the connect… 😦 Kudos for being a full vegan. I really love animals too, & care about their welfare, & it’s always lovely to meet like-minded people. *hugs*
@Sapphire
Thank you Sapphire, you are really sweet, I’m happy that you think the same way ^^ I knew about that ~ when the news came out I was happy dancing so hard and crying out of happiness too. That was the first step, the next goal is to ban animal testing internationally. Regarding Lancome, it’s amazing that they test on synthetic human skin, that’s such a great methode, both for humans and to protect animals from cruelty. Unfortunately their products are also sold in China, where animal testings are required by law if the companies want to sell their products there, so Lancome regretfully is doing animal testing. If you are interested, here is a link where you can find cruelty free brands http://www.gocrueltyfree.org (also for houshold products btw). (⌒‿⌒) I’m really happy that you’re like-minded *hugging you too Sapphire* (っ⌒‿⌒)っ
I didn’t know testing on animals was actually required in China. That’s really disturbing. 😦 Thanks for the link to cruelty free products. I’m lucky to live in Australia & we have quite a lot of cruelty free products available here, & also a growing list of bio-degradable products that are kinder to the environment too. I was so happy when Europe announced they had passed a law recognizing animals as sentient beings, & now this ban on animal testing in the cosmetics industry. Given science can now replicate human skin & clone organs, I’m looking forward to the day when we have no animal testing for any reason on this planet.
@Sapphire
“Sentient beings”?? I should *be* so lucky as to be as smart as our two kitty cats. It took them a while to do it because we were so stubborn and independent but they finally have us perfectly trained to do exactly what they want. 🙂
@Lilibaiyu
Lol! I know exactly what you mean. The ONLY thing I’ve been able to stand firm on is not letting my cat out at 5am no matter how much he cries, scratches at doors & climbs all over me. Otherwise I’m a total slave to him, & the sad thing is I love him so much I’m happy to run around after him doing exactly what he wants!! That cat had me brainwashed & mindlessly obedient to his every whim pretty much the second I got him!
@Sapphire
LOL We don’t have those outdoor issues because our 2 little Pashas are Indoor Guys. (Here in L.A. it would be impossible to allow pets to roam freely outside. Too many competing feral cats, traffic, etc.) But just let it get to be 5:02pm and there’s no carefully prepared and served Fancy Feast cat food in evidence and you’re going to hear some serious caterwauling around here. They probably have a hotline to the ASPCA hooked up and ready somewhere…
@Lilibaiyu
They probably do! LOL.
Thanks admin peace will again rain on our discussions… I love healthy debate but sometimes to healthy is nerve wrecking smile I just like to keep things simple water off of a ducks back (not talking about Junsu) Waiting in anticipation for all things JYJ…
I wish that their FAN MEETING this year would be on May because if it would be around June their is a possibility that I can’t come….. Because I am just having a vacation here…. so please do it on May or earlier…..
2nd day concert at the dome, what time will it start? Has it started already?
2nd day TD concert ended already. It started at 6PM Tokyo time and ended around 9.
There’s a question I’ve been wanting to ask, I m not sure if it has been addressed here before. Is Avex’s business interests with SM that big, that they were willing to forego the profits they could have made when JYJ were signed with them in the last 3 years?
@jyjfan
It must have seemed like smart business at the time, for all the business in the future, previous partnership commitments. I guess AVEX thought SM was the better partner for them over the long haul. And certainly NO ONE expected JYJ to do what they did i.e. hold out and finally walk away, survive, prosper and heaven forbid WIN both lawsuits!
Hooray for the underdog..would make for a GREAT movie!~*
I wonder who would play them??
@pinkylee555
Oh, I’ve been saying this for years. Their whole saga from the time of the break up would make an incredible book and movie. There’s everything a great drama would ever need right there. Youthful dreams, hard work and brotherhood, betrayal, loss, fear, being unfairly maligned, blocked, banned and shunned by an entire industry, their HOME industry, faith in themselves, their fans and their true brothers and finally redemption and triumph…. oh yes. There’s major drama there.
🙂
@pinkylee555 & @lilibaiyu
That would be really a great drama, more preferable than a movie, since it would be more to watch >__< Title "Of Dreams and Reality"?
Avex had no problems working with JYJ when SM first started blocking the guys in SK. I think Avex got a bit too big for their boots & really believed that JYJ would capitulate to their demands rather than risk being blocked in Japan as well as SK. I doubt any of the boss men in either Avex or SM have either the courage or the integrity to do what JYJ have done, so they didn’t have the insight to anticipate it. & after JYJ made it clear they weren’t going to let Avex walk all over them, I think, like SM, it pissed Matsuura & co off mightily & they’ve been holding a grudge ever since. Them working with SM to block JYJ in Japan is really because of their own vindictiveness rather than just bowing down to SM’s will.
@Sapphire
I’m inclined to agree with you. Matsuura’s ability to behave like a First Class Butthurt Asshole is entirely of his own making.
@jyjfan
I forgot to add that it’s SK who is trying to sell Hallyu to Japan, whereas as far as I’m aware of, there is no major push coming from Japan to infiltrate SK with Jpop. As Avex is one of the big players in the Japanese market, & SM is determined to make inroads in that market, SM need Avex more than Avex need SM.
@lilibaiyu
I’m happy Mad Maxxie isn’t harassing Jaejoong anymore, but I have to admit I kind of miss his drunken rants on twitter – there’s a curious fascination in watching someone behave that stupidly, esp on such a public forum.
@Sapphire. … Now Avex just have to sit back and watch as JYJ’s new Japanese partner reap in the profits. . . imagine their “loss” for not letting JYJ perform in the last 3.5 years. I would love to see Avex fall out with SM bcos of this. …
Pkus which foreign act will dare sign on with them now, after seeing what they did with a profit making act. …Avex’s reputation is affected with their losing the case.
@Sapphire
Also, AVEX is a much bigger company than SM. It’s always mystified me why they were so willing to do SM’s bidding. Japan is a many time larger market than Korea too. They don’t need S.Korea. S.Korean Idol groups DO need Japan. It’s just when groups come over there merely to relieve the populace of cash, that doesn’t sit well with a lot of people these days. They’ve figured out the scam. And they’re not happy about it.
@Lilibaiyu
From what some people have said, I think it’s not so much the influx of SK idols in Japan that bothers the Japanese, but the fact that SK is really trying to push/force their Hallyu “culture” into other countries, but don’t want to accept those countries culture into SK. It’s a one way street with SK reaping all the benefits, & of course, all the cash. & of course with all the regional tensions in the area, that’s muddying the water now too…
@jyjfan
I would love to see the look on Avex’s faces after Tokyo Dome reaped in so many fans in spite of everything they’ve done over the last 4 years to block JYJ in Japan. *smug gloating* & I imagine they are going to be kicking themselves for years to come as all three guys have proven they are multi-talented &, I have no doubt, will be successfully performing as singers & actors for a long, long time! Avex & SM will have YEARS of constant reminders of just what they’ve lost by treating JYJ so badly. *evil laughing!* 😀
@lilibaiyu, thanks! Guess if the blacklisting had worked completely in both Korea and Japan, it’s no loss for Avex. … I wonder if they are kicking themselves now for not milking the cash cow while it was in their backyard. .. plus on top of that they hv to pay compensation to JYJ. ..
Does anyone know the song Okaeri (such coinsidence kkk) from Ayaka? I thought immediately of it when I’ve read that Junsu sang a song from Ayaka: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nlh5YC_TD1U
The English translation of the lyrics:
Welcome home, sweet home
A place to go home to (yeah)
Thanks for your love
Pretending to be alright again
to paint out the color of sadness
I just laugh it off
The importance of believing
Even if I understand it
Well, there are times when I still doubt
Times when my empty body
just flows by
It makes me want to just lie down, but
I just want to hold you
These feelings stab through me so I can move on
Welcome home, I’m home
With one word my heart is satisfied
Welcome home, sweet home
A place to go home to (yeah)
Thanks for your love
Sweet home
I used to believe adults think
only of themselves and they are cunning
But there are people desperately trying to go back
Even screaming out loud
I finally realized that
There is no such thing as
one natural happiness in this world
For your sake, I was able to realize that
By carrying these feelings,
I can move on
Welcome home, I’m home
Accelerating the speed of everyday
Welcome home, Sweet home
There will always be this unchanging scenery
Sweet home
Searching for the missing
wound in my heart
The thing that made me fight and go on
Was because there was a “welcome home”
Welcome home, I’m home
With one word my heart is satisfied
Welcome home, sweet home
where love
has a place to go home to (yeah)
Thank for your love
Welcome home, I’m home
It’s alright because you are here
Welcome home, sweet home
keep waiting, because I’m arriving soon
Sweet home
oh yeah
Welcome home… sweet heart
JYJ3 TEAM ~ ~ ~ 50 plus million hits!!! you are the ones who deserve a deep bow, a big thank you and heartfelt appreciation for the generous time, wonderful translations, lovely fancams, endless patience, unconditional and undying love for JYJ and us… international fans. thank you. thank you very very much.
@lilibaiyu∞ I hope they will consider it…that and starting their own production and entertainment company.
Just throwing ideas out….JYJ please listen to me.
@pinky lee
Oh, I believe they will have their own company eventually. Jaejoong has already shown himself to be a powerful mentor to young talent.
They sure have the potential and who else could do it but those that have been through the pains. I mean you can only dance and sing for so long.
I am looking forward to movie…..lets hope together
I am timid to ask this, but I have been curious for quite some time about how Koreans know English. Do they learn it in school? Koreans seem to be fluent in the language. Even this website is in English! I am astonished and impressed! Most Americans only learn English, which I think is a shame! Also, could someone explain the bow? I notice Asians bow to each other. Does this mean hello or is it a sign of respect? Please forgive–I am still learning about Asia!
Hi Shirley! Yes they learn English in school, I’m not sure what year they start but If you want to know I will ask my Emu (auntie) next time I see her. Lots of schools employ native speakers to teach english. That’s how the EYK couple started as English teachers and they have videos on You Tube about teaching, which are so sweet.
The bowing is a sign of respect and a greeting , like the western handshake. The deeper the bow, the greater the respect. IMO, bowing is hard to get right if you aren’t raised doing it.
Thanks for the explanations! I am so moved and amazed that Koreans and other cultures know English! U. S. schools are behind–they do not require students to learn another language. I think this is a mistake. Asia is becoming a superpower–smart Americans over here are enrolling their children in classes to learn Mandarin.China has 1.2 billion people, and I recently watched a documentary that said that South Korea is the most wired country in the world and they are launching the most internet startups. I guess some Americans are already seeing things changing in the future!
May I ask how many seats were really sold for the concerts?
Is 70thou per day, 50thou or 55thou?
Congratulations to Mia and all the staff members here at JYJ3.net on an extremely important milestone…50,000,000 hits!
Thanks to the entire crew for all the hard work you do in bringing JYJ information to the international fandom. Proud to be a part of the group.
PEACE!
♥♥♥♥♥ (⌒‿⌒)
I join butterfliesarefree in wishing Mia and her staff the warmest wishes and Congratulations on hitting such an amazing milestone.
I sincerely believe that JYJ3 is THE best source for news, opinions and discussions on all things JYJ anywhere on the web. We welcome lively in depth discussion here, we have opinions and differing points of view but we seem to be able to handle various viewpoints without immature name-calling and meltdowns like so many of the other JYJ fanpages we’ve all visited and left, happy to return to JYJ3. Thank you for providing this safe haven and reliable source of information for the many thousands of fans both home-grown Korean and international who love and support JYJ. Cheers!
♥♥♥♥♥ (⌒‿⌒)
I second that good to feel at home and not being attacked for your view points and also the love for one another things do get heated but administration is on the ball… CONGRATULATIONS for creating safe haven…for all JYJERS….
Congratulations JYJ3.net Admins & Staff on an amazing 50 million hits! You all have come so far in the last 2 years and time really seems to be flying by! It started out as a blog on wordpress, but it’s really become so much more than that to so many people (including myself 🙂 ). I can never thank you enough for expending your time, energy, and love into this site and JYJ.
♥♥♥♥♥ (⌒‿⌒)
Congrats to JYJ3 for having come this far since 2011. I’ve been on this site since it started, and i’ve seen how the site has grown. I think this is the only JYJ site that has a lively comment section with everyone sharing their thoughts and basicaly having a great time. I’ve seen people come and go on this site, and when i was going through some old news recently, i realised how many of them don’t appear here anymore, or maybe they just don’t comment. I’ve been missing some of them like @afriendofjyj. Does anyone here keep in touch with her? I’ve had the privilege of interacting with her on a few occasions, and she’s always so enthusiastic, witty and fun to chat with. Am missing her Junsu video spams too. I’m not the kind to make fast friends easily, esp not in an online platform like this, but there’s this other person i became close to here on this site. She doesn’t come here anymore due to personal reasons, but i miss her and hope she is doing well and living life the way she said she wanted. Sorry for ranting…
@OnlyJYJ
Yes, there are people I really miss too. Of course AFriendOfJYJ but also Sally B, the irrepressible MIA who I think moved to Mexico… oh, there are so many. I hope they are all happy and well. I miss them and wish they would be back someday.
MIA still comments from time to time , she just changed her name ….but I haven’t seen her for a while . ( I thought I would see her comments on JJ’s album ) .
I miss sally B .

Congratulations admins and staff of JYJ3 on your 50+ million hits. Here’s a big hug to you guys {}!!!
You guys deserve a lot of credit not only because of the historical numbers but by the invaluable knowledge, news, ideas shared and debated and the best for me is about being able to comfortably come to a common ground and being able to participate or being part of a genuine dialogue between JYJ fans and that is really something!
Coming here is always interesting, coz everyone here brings so much life to even the most mundane topic…..and the best time for me this 2013 so far was the last three days of Tokyo Dome JYJ Comeback Concerts,
being able to experience it here and having a wonderful time is totally unprecedented……
Here, I’d like to thank the admins and staff again as well as all the fancams, accounts, uploads etc .
They are very much appreciated and I have enjoyed every moment of it.
JYJ’s music as usual has enwrapped me, they not only sing because of the arts but with a fervour that makes it beautiful and always draw me into their tones and laid bare something from within me with a vividness that made my heart pounds….their music seem to flow from a level of consciousness that assume personal modes of feelings in every listener.
Those three days I did not only listened to them but witnessed something exciting happening…..a real acoustic phenomenon that intoxicates and left the listeners falling prey to the rapture of their music and left me enslaved(not that I wasn’t already…lol! ),
I also experienced something like the renewing and strengthening of kinship between JYJ and us fans…
This is why just like JYJ, JYJ3 has become a part of my life….(And to my BF who’s been lurking here…I hope you’ll join us soon 😉 )
This is very well said. Even though I’m new here the feelings are strong. I can relate to your words.
@ljyjNjoy, welcome aboard ! Really glad that you’ve joined us 🙂
And not to forget all the friends I made through JYJ and JYJ3… 🙂 🙂 🙂
I’m watching a singer on TV right now named Tae Woo.(?) He is appearing in an hour long singing show on a Korcean channel. I don’t know what he is saying, but he is a very good singer!
@Shirley USA, I think u r talking about Kim Tae Woo. His latest hit is “Cosmic Girl”.
Are there any news about JYJ’s new japanese agency?
hi hello everyone…i know we are still in party mood…after the epic comeback of our kings..butbutbut i have this question but dont hate ok…dont want to cause any tension bet.jyj and us..but there is this one thing that cant get off my mind..we all know that for a very long time Jae is really the most popular mem.in japan..but after the TDcon.i had this feeling that its no longer the case…it seems that its now Yoochun..its always yoochun’s merchandse/uchiwa that soldout first,from fancm i saw he had the loudest cheer…i love yoochun as well as junsu but we have our own bias/es..for me its jae so naturally i want him to be always #1 .(its human nature to feel this way..)esp.since japan is one if not the only place that jae can trully and cnfidntly claim as his territory..and i dont want that to change…i hope everyone will try to understand my feelings….what do you think..i really want to hear from u guys…thanks in advnce..
peace..
excuse my grammar..
and admin if you think my post will have a negatve effcts in this fandom..i will undrstnd if you’ll remove this…
ps..congrats on another milestone.more hits to come..fighting
Don’t worry ^^ I guess everyone can sense that you don’t mean it in a rude or harsh way and isn’t family also there to voice out not so popular thoughts without getting bashed, I think it is? Now to answer your post, I had the same thought when I read that the first sold out merch was Yuchun’s ~ I was surprised to be honest… but I think it’s because Yuchun is active in more popular dramas, idk… atleast that what I feel is the case. I also think that Yuchun’s acting is stronger then Jaejoong, although I think that he was amazing in Dr. Jin and I’ve only watched it because of him, not because I’m a JYJ fan, but because his acting was so impressive for me… but of course that’s only how I see it, can be all wrong. However, I think that Jaejoongs popularity will rise again and also I think that the popularity of all of them will increase, because they changed so much in the last three years, that I can’t tell who’s more amazing… They are so special in their own unique ways and they will rise so high, I can’t wait to witness this.
I understand your deep concern for Jaejoong. He pulls at my heartstrings too. But I think we need to be happy for Yoochun. He deserves all the recognition he gets from his excellent acting and his wonderful personality, not to mention his voice that can put you under a spell and he is so very handsome. I think Jaejoong would be very very happy to share the spotlight. One day Jaejoong will have a good leading role in a movie or tv drama and he will shine as bright. I think Japan still loves him very much, he is on three magazine covers. Cheer up, I know it hurts thinking he might be losing popularity in Japan, but I don’t think so, or hope not. Junsu has Korea for his singing, Yoochun has Korea for his acting and Jaejoong is so loved in Japan, he may have both. Good things will follow for him. (I once wrote a similar concern about Jaejoong, for his singing not being recognized as one of the best, I know your feelings 🙂 )
@jaedara748
As a JYJ fan who does not have a member bias, I understand your comment. But as @makiforjyj mentioned, YC has a great deal of exposure right now because of his dramas. And let’s face it, both were very well done. PTB was good, Dr. Jin not much, especially knowing it was a Japanese remake. Although, JJ did a more than admirable job in it. He was pretty much the saving grace for it. Both YC’s dramas were original stories. People were willing to try them out.
As in all things in life, there are ebbs and flows. There really is a niche for each and every member of JYJ. What is truly awesome is how well the three blend so well together. My description of the three will always be – one soul, three bodies, I personally see them as one but also as three distinct entities.
Okay, this is really long and probably boring to most but…
@jaedara748, I wanted to share my Jaejoong feelings with you:
At one time, I watched only Kdrama, but stopped for a while because the same actors always ended up with the good ending. I still look for certain actors or if the story sounds interesting I’ll give it a try.
Before knowing jyj, I watched Dr. Jin. I really liked Kim Kyung-tak but about half way through I realized SSH was the same actor I’d seen in so many dramas and I knew he would end up looking good and Kim Kyung-tak would not, so I stopped watching. I did not know Jaejoong at the time but really liked his acting and his good looks.
This was about the time I started getting bored with Kdrama for seeing the same actors always ending up as good.
I also watched Rooftop Prince and did not know Park Yoochun. I really enjoyed the story and liked him in that drama. Then I started to watch Sungkyunkwan Scandal and realized he was the same guy as RTP, at the time I really liked SJK and wondered if he would end up as the star. I kept watching until I knew the same guy was again the one who would look good at the end and stopped watching, same with Missing you. I watched until I knew the same actor was once again the good guy.
With Protect the Boss, I watched it without even realizing Jaejoong was the same person as the character in Dr. Jin that I liked. I really liked Cha Mu-won, he was extremely good looking, but stopped watching when I realized he was not going to have a good ending.
I know I’m a weird.
I watched Heaven’s Postman because one of my favorite actresses, Han Hyo Joo was in it. I just fell in love with her in Dong Yi and also saw her in an earlier drama where she did not end up shining in the end so she touched my heart. Even though Heaven’s Postman’s storyline was a bit light, I enjoyed watching the two “made for each other couple”. I was so taken with the handsome Shin Jae Joon. Still I did not know jyj and Jaejoong. I wanted to see more of him so I looked him up on Wiki and was surprised he was in Dr Jin and Ptb. I then realized, this is the same guy, wow he pulls off so many different characters so well I didn’t even know it was him. I saw that he was in that Japanese movie, so I started watching but couldn’t finish it knowing he was going to be hurt in the end. I also saw that he was a singer so I did the search and fell for his voice immediately. That’s when I started on Kmusic.
Anyways, I got off track…
What I wanted to say is, Idk if I’m the only one who gets bored with the same actors always looking good in the end, but I don’t think so. If I watch a movie or tv show where an actor who is good but ends up not shining at the end, my heart hurts for them and I want to see them in anything with a good ending. And… I’ll probably always watch their shows even if they continue to have good endings because my heart once hurt for them. Which is why Han Hyo Joo, even if she only has roles with good endings from now and forever, I will watch her. Same with Jaejoong, I will watch anything with a good ending for him forever. I’ll also always watch WB, KHJ, YSY, and SJK forever. But I will not watch SSH, LSG, PYC, LMH to mention a few. If I know they are acting, I don’t bother to watch because they only take roles which make them shine, regardless of how good the story or their acting may be (sorry, sorry to fans of those I mention, I don’t mean to be disrespectful), the ending is known.
So, to try to make you feel better, I thought I’d share that if there are other weidos like me, Jaejoong will not only have a lifetime fan for his voice but also his acting. Even if he loses his voice or his acting is bad, I’ll be there. Perhaps in the Japanese movie, he touched the heart of many in Japan and they are craving for him in a good ending movie or tv show too and will remain by his side forever.
But we need to remember that what makes Jaejoong happiest is Yoochun and Junsu. When Yoochun or Junsu do well and are happy, then I’m happy too because I know Jaejoong is happy.
Try watching the three of them on youTube, you will fall in love with both Yoochun and Junsu too, even though your heart and soul is for Jaejoong, the three together are most precious. (Oh, and the largest Country in the world, China, loves Jaejoong).
OK I have a question too …it has nothing to do with the popularity thing because I really can’t tell from the fancams what people there are like and maybe you’re reading too much into it …I don’t know.
but I can see that the replays to you are about being in drama as something strengthening to someone status .
are dramas really a strong platform for better exposure to fans and the public ? k-dramas still going strong ? because k-pop Obviously isn’t going to be popular for long .
I mean it would be good if JYJ can depend on working in acting alongside music to keep doing what they want to do for as long as they want .
Yeah, idk about the popularity thing either.
I also don’t know how strong Kdramas are in other countries but at one time it was very popular in my home state, I live in the USA. One of my aunties would spend hundreds of dollars buying the dvds and a lot of my family and friends back home seemed to watch Kdrama. I wasn’t interested back then, nor had the time, but my retired aunties all watched. But lately these last few years, they seem to have tired of it. I got into it as they were getting out. I also got bored and I may be completely wrong on my assessment but the Kdrama actors don’t seem to have the same kind of following fans as Music. (just a guess because both Yoochun and Jaejoong received more rice wreaths than established actors)
I read an article a while back about this top Kentertainment Co Exec who has plans to infiltrate the world with Kpop. That really turned me off and I stayed away from Kpop. (I know it’s a crazy extreme but it made me think of Hitler) I will listen to Kmusic like indie and jazz groups though I prefer Jmusic. Actually I love all music, but not if someone has a plan to plant it in my brain.
To answer your question about Kdrama being a platform:
The only Kpop I listen to is jyj and it was through Kdrama that I discovered them so there may be others like that who gain a following from dramas. Then… it would be a strong platform. What scares me is that Kentertainment Co Exec plans may work if he uses his singers in dramas to lure more in, his arrogance may pay off, he’ll take over the world. Yikes!
Well… if he was a good person I wouldn’t be horrified, but I read he is an evil vindictive cold hearted one… scary.
I tried listening to other Kpop just to compare jyj but they all began to sound and look the same and I just couldn’t get into it… but found some nice indie and jazz groups.
I’m just curious, why do you think Kpop will not be popular for long?
k-pop’s popularity will die out because the only thing you see of it ( and gets promoted heavily ) is idol groups , lots AND lots of idol group music . eventually it will burn itself out , and the Entertainment companies will move one to the next new thing to make money .
I remember back in 2008 …there was dbsk , big bang , suju , wonder girls and brown eyed girls as the idols in the kpop scene along side others like solo singers and pop and hip hop groups . and all of them had their own music and style .
but look at k-pop now ….even some of the old idol groups haven’t been the same .
k-drama …it was more interesting before , but I’m not so sure about the way it’s going to be in a few years from now . the ” trend ” thing I see in most of them now is getting annoying .
and to be honest …though I think Yoochun has a better list of dramas under his belt than Jaejoong , I still would want him and Jaejoong in better projects .
@meme & JYJ
“k-drama …it was more interesting before , but I’m not so sure about the way it’s going to be in a few years from now . the ” trend ” thing I see in most of them now is getting annoying .”
Although at least with K-dramas you can always just watch the older ones. 🙂 My opinion of the state of K-Pop and Idol groups in particular is that most of it is pre-fab crap; overly sexualized for maximum lure and hollow as a chocolate bunny at its core. It’s replaced talent and artistry with create-a-group by numbers. It is the very definition of a cookie cutter assembly line of pretty young people singing instantly forgettable songs.K-Pop seems now something only very young teens can enjoy. The second you develop musical taste and/or you grow up it’s pointless.
I think most Kpop is like popcorn music. You know how Americans call their summer blockbusters popcorn movies? They are the kind of glossy, over the top action, nonsensical plot, macho hero, eye candy hot girl, usually spawn endless sequels, etc, etc films that don’t require you to take your brain to the cinema. A lot of the time, if you take them for the fluff they are, they can be really enjoyable, even if it’s because you’re laughing at them & not with them. But they aren’t the kind of films that do make you think & feel & question, that stays in your brain for days & gets under your skin. To me Kpop is the same. It’s not serious music, & let’s be honest, half of those groups can’t even sing, but it’s light entertainment that entertains without being really touching or meaningful. But sometimes you don’t want meaningful, you just want a catchy song to sing along with & dance too….
*cringe* I KNOW @Lilibaiyu is looking at me with shocked horror right now!!! lol
@Sapphire
SAPPHIRE!! Go to your room!!!
lolol
Actually I had two thoughts about your post: first: *thinking to self* And I’ve always HATED those kind of crappy franchise popcorn movies! Give me meaning – in music, in movies, in life. To me these are artforms and they shouldn’t be run down into the mud just to make a few fatcats a pile of the almighty dollar, pound sterling, won, yen, etc.
Second thought: “Damn, I really agree with Sapphire!” 😀
@Lilibaiyu
Lolol!!!
@Jaedara i understand your feeling about jaejoong, but i think it’s a good thing for jaejoong. the boy love challenge, it will encourage him to do better so does with yucun and junsu (besides jaejoong was so proud with yuchun’s and Junsu’s achievements). I don’t like Jyj to stuck in their comfort zone, what i like about Jyj was their courage to challenge something new and then mastered it. As someone who cared about them i will support them in their journey.
For me Jaejoong is a unique person with an equally unique mind.
PS. I always think in term of acting skill, Jaejoong was like kyoko and yuchun was like moko(kyoko best friend) in manga Skip Beat. and please excuse my grammar…..(i never good at it)
Just like with any artist in order to stay on top you have to adapt and change. As for JYJ they have proven valuable on all fronts music, modeling, movies, tv, even the stage…. If they survived lets just say the last 4 years and came out smelling like roses I have faith that when my grandaughter listens to my old CDs they will either be starting in a movie or doing Broadway somewhere in the world… Longevity is something in any carrer you have to work hard for…. And yes our boys work darn hard to maintain not only their careers but to love up on us fans… cant wait until we all are standing in a concert and realize years from now hi I am grey fox are you wombat or memejyj They have benchmarked themselves do to the hardship and triumphs that are sure to come…. hip hip horay hip hip JYJ…h
I would say to Jaedara748, don’t worry, be happy. Japan loves JYJ and Jaejoong. There seems to be plenty of love there to go around. And most of all, remember the members’ feelings for each other. They are each each other’s biggest fans. Jaejoong would insist that Yuchun have the spotlight and Yuchun would insist even louder that Jae should have it. They have FINALLY just come back as JYJ, the 3 member team. Let’s celebrate their three-ness and not have partisan squabble mar what should be a happy time for JYJ fans.
I have a question too ^^ how is it that all of a sudden k-pop isn’t popular anymore? I mean, for me it’s all of a sudden, bcz I’ve read about it the first time in those SBS News covering the JYJ Dome concerts? Who says that the interest in k-pop is dropping? I’m asking bcz I don’t have a clue.
To me any awards, honors, deals, acknowledgments or achievements not only stands for the one but also all three…fruits and trees~*
Congratulations Mia & the JYJ3 team on reaching such an incredible milestone, & so fast!! Thank you for all your hard work. ♥♥♥
my goodnesss.im shaking…sooo worried..theres again a breaking news regarding NoKor launch of attck to SoKor..why cant he just focus on their economy and improve their countrymen way of life..haiiist im really frighten..they seem serious this time..my goodness..dont he love peace and harmony…unbelievable…
soorry for my rant..just need to express my fear after watchng the breaking news..
PEACE may REIGN
Rest your mind even though a lot of talk is happening just continue to pray peace will aval not one minute can you add to your life due to worrying so just give it to God and allow him to be in the drivers seat… you just continue to enjoy JYJ.. Hugs.
@jaedara748
Here’s a good analysis of the situation.
http://www.stratfor.com/weekly/ferocious-weak-and-crazy-north-korean-strategy?utm_source=freelist-f&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20130409&utm_term=NKoreaUpdate&utm_content=title2&elq=18278adb945a4324a6366636d8447ca6
no, no, no, no war is going to happen.
listen the same exact threat happened 30 years ago, its just a routine because of new presidents placed in each country, its just reconfirming status and reconfirming allies nothing more.
America and Russian also had this nuclear war threat talk in the past, each side threatened to blast the other publicly through media but it never happened in reality, but they need to make public threats to appear more powerful than the other, but both face equal power so no one would risk their own country.
In other words, there is no war, don’t be so gullible and get easily convinced over political fictional play.
@jaedara748
My auntie and other expat SK friends are not worried, and they think this is all bluster and just talk. I trust them and really think it will be ok. Lets pray for peace together.
I wish jyj will be together and more success in future. I wish successifully finish lawsuit with SM.
I really want to see lovely 5 friends together in their personal life.
Do you live in a cave?
1) JYJ is of course Forever and there will be more successful in the future. Thank you very much!
2) SM lawsuit was over in 2012.11.28
3) JYJ are not friends with the other 2. Friendship was OVER long ago.
Lastly, bring your delusional OT5 sentiments to OT5 sites instead.
Do you need a shoulder to cry on? *Pat pat~~~
I’m so sorry for my statement but there’s nothing in my heart while saying this statement. If this statement hurt to you,i’m sorry. But my heart is always clean for jyj and always keep faith on jyj forever.
@murasaki
I think you need to apologize to su su moe, she never acted in the hostile manner you replied her with. I read in the rules something about being nice, and I don’t think you were being nice to a fellow JYJ fan right? you didn’t need to be sarcastic in a hostile way to degrade her at the end , especially when the girl was obviously innocent in her approach. no clear sarcasm came from her as was coming from you.
Vicious.
@Kalus
No. Not vicious. Just frustration showing. Hi Kalus – you’re a new poster to JYJ3, right? We’ve found over time that it’s best not to show up and start making accusations like “vicious” to long time posters like Murasaki. When you’re new, it’s best to be positive, ask questions yes, but to generally not come out with criticisms and the first thing we hear from you your first few times posting here. It’s easier to make friends that way and to get to know the people here a little. This is a great place to come for discussions once you become accustomed to our style here.
Cheers!
I hope you don’t get this the wrong way, so your friend has immunity to be rude to others,
sorry,
She called the girl delusional.
I’m not fine about that kind of treatment, so please understand my frustration over that, I wanted to give her a dose of her own medicine so she would know how the other person was feeling, but I guess you can’t reply to rude people with same level of rudeness when they have immunity. Now that is corrupt politics right there.
sorry about replying in the first place, I guess people like su su more can feel threatened that the immunity party can call us delusional , and make fun of us in a degrading manner – want a shoulder to cry on? – that’s not a way to talk to people just because they have different tastes. give them a chance before you judge them as delusional and make fun of them in front of everyone.
anyway, thanks for clarifying who gets to do what ,and who doesn’t have a right to react to what ,and who should bear the so called frustration.
She calls someone delusional and you come defending her – frustration- at least reprimand your friend so I can feel you are genuine about peace.
a one side war eh? go and make more excuses that its not like that. re-read Murasaki’s post, if that’s not vicious then I suppose that’s soft and friendly, gee its my mistake , how can I misunderstand that. It’s my head that is upside down no wonder you rep-reminded me. got no immunity either, can’t be frustrated here like your friend.
yeah.
@Kalus
Calm down, friend. 🙂 I was merely explaining to you the best and most time-tested way to begin your relationship with the many longtime posters here. The way that will have you experiencing the fewest personality clashes and difficulties. What you now choose to do with this information is of course entirely up to you. I’d like to see you stick around and enjoy yourself here. Hence my earlier post to you.
Cheers!
@ lilibaiyu
I don’t want anymore clashes, my heart can’t take it because I’m ill, so I will stick to silent lurking and not read under the articles anymore and will definitely stay clear from the discussions posts. It’s more due to my condition than anything ells, stress is not good for me and I was curious about what goes on in this section.
anyway, thanks for the advice and sorry I got on the wrong foot.
@kalus
I hear you, girlfriend – I have stress levels off the charts some days and it’s become a real problem for me too. That’s why I was hoping to just give you a quiet heads up about the easiest way to get around here. Take care and feel better soon.
i think all of us are too quick to judge whenever an ot5 is around cuz most are plain rude. but i dont think su su moe’s trying to push a point that the five to be group together. she said “I really want to see lovely 5 friends together in their personal life.” as in in personal life=simply friends. not all fans are clear with homin’s has said to jyj before, and most prob only remember the good memories when they are together.. shouldnt we point that out to her properly? and i dont think whether someone is new or not to this forum has to have differences in treatment whether or not we are close to them..
Sorry su su moe, read the statement from the boys a the concert were Chunie states it is only the three of us. They all related to only JYJ. I know it is painful to think about but they feel betrayed… As I am here in USA did not get to see a lot of negativity be lashed on them by past members… but was quickly brought up to speed by just searching the net… As this is a discussion post thanks for sharing your views but please respect their wishes as I respect your heart. Painful memories should not have to be relived over and over it just like telling a victim of a violent crime every time you go outside we will show your attacker to you over and over again.. This is a bit harsh but the fact is it is true… Please think of how they are feeling have to step away from everything that they knew and to step into the unknown look at the toll it took on all of them and JJ health declined chunnie even worried about bankruptcy. so please consider our boys. However I am very glad you can see sunshine in a storm. JYJ fighting.
@grey fox
“As this is a discussion post thanks for sharing your views but please respect their wishes as I respect your heart. Painful memories should not have to be relived over and over it just like telling a victim of a violent crime every time you go outside we will show your attacker to you over and over again.”
I liken it to Best Friends and Broccoli. Let’s say I had a bad allergic reaction to broccoli, it was scary and awful and of course I’m not ever eating broccoli again. But my friend loves broccoli and she can’t stop talking about it to me, how good it is and how she can’t wait to have some more. I’ve reminded her many times that I’m allergic to it and just hearing it spoken of ties my tummy in knots but she just won’t quit. Finally, I tell her “PLEASE don’t talk about broccoli with me! I can’t go near it! PLEASE STOP!”
Then the next time I see her, she brings up broccoli again.
See? After a while it’s very frustrating and then after that, more talk of how lovely and amazing broccoli is and you get mad.
That’s what I think is going on here.
🙂
@lilibaiyu
But this is the same friend mentioning one thing over and over and over… this situation (for me) is more like meeting constantly new ppl who do not know that you are allergic… I highly assume that you aren’t rude to them, since they don’t have a clue?!
@makiforjyj
“I highly assume that you aren’t rude to them, since they don’t have a clue?!”
I would certainly hope not! I try to start politely with new people. But there is a built in frustration factor too because we are 3 years into this situation now, a lot has happened and yet a large number of people still “don’t have a clue.” So mistakes are made and frustrations boil over at times. 🙂
I’m already know jyj is try in storm in past 3years. I’m so sorry for my option but i didn’t hurt jyj anymore. I always want to see jyj forever together and forever happy. I promise i’m always jyj fan forever.
But i want to know jyj finish with SM about lawsuit? I think it’s not over;but it may be wrong.
As @murasaki mentioned above, the lawsuit is over http://jyj3.net/2012/11/28/news-121128-jyj-finishes-legal-dispute-with-sm-wont-disturb-each-others-activities/.
The Psy pistachio commercial is so funny! It is running on TV in the U.S. Psy is doing gangnam style with the pistachios! He rides a pistachio like a horse. lol!
Oppan pistachio style?
FYI for peeps in the U.S. – The “Y” album is finally on U.S. iTunes.
🙂
It’s also on amazon.com (U.S.), I had just purchased “Mine – EP” on iTunes (last month) thinking the“Y” cd was sold out. I was surprised to see it, ordered and received it a week or so ago. Maybe a second printing? Not sure, but it was worth it. Very impressive packaging, quality like apple product. Inside, the pictures printed on top grade heavy stock, very nice. I just love this cd!
@IjyjNjoy
I’m crazy about “Kiss B” these days, I think it is really really a great song although to be strictly honest, I’ve pretty much rewritten the “2 Play/2Play” section lyrically to suit myself. lol When they sing songs they’ve written all in Korean or Japanese I don’t have these problems but when they venture into the lyric minefields of English… that’s when we can get into trouble.
🙂
Is everything OK over there? Lots of news about North Korea in U. S. news–they are telling all foreigners to leave North Korea to avoid a nuclear attack! Looks like they want to attack South Korea and the U.S.! I hope it is all just talk!
you have not a single idea about politics do you.
This is just a power dance between politics, it happened 30 years ago. and many nations had been doing this when they feel targeted or they don’t have the power to overthrow a certain foreign interference in their politics.
They threaten because they can’t do more than that. threats make them look intimidating its why they threaten instead going into war.
reality check,
North Korean military is weak compared to the USA and South Korea even, so they can not harm the USA at all, USA bases in the region is another issue, they might scrap military bases if they DID really go into war, but that is it, Military bases in Asia is not the United states of America, not American soil where American civilians live, so nothing will ever happen to the USA , your people are safe, its the civilians of South and North Korea who will suffer, un-armed civilians, not soldiers inside military bases.
anyway, nothing happened 30 years ago and it wont happen now, also America WONT do anything to North Korea because Russia, China and Iran balance its power off.
So no, no war is going to happen. politics Know this, its the clueless ,of politics, people like you who worry about something already over, as long as there is a power balance right now in that region, then peace continues to thrive and so does business, the danger is when the powers are unbalanced, and only one side has power, that’s when war occurs.
America and Russia during nuclear tensions in the past also had this nuclear war threats talk , and both countries couldn’t go into war because of the power balance, so don’t worry, it didn’t happen to USA nor Russia and it wont Happen to South Korea nor North Korea, no war is going to happen.
In the end its the civilians who will suffer if a war does occurs, no matter whose side they are on and that’s where the real tragedy lies. politics don’t care to take their fights in a plain un-populated area , unfortunately humanity isn’t that civilized yet, and to not fight at all, means to be even more civilized than that.
back to reality,there is not going to be a war so you, and everyone ells, relax, calm down, breath, and enjoy news about JYJ instead.

@pinky lee
lolol Honestly though – we ALL had that moment when we first showed up here. Every one of us here was “the new kid” at some point or other. We all scoped out the territory, got the lay of the land, saw how and what people posted. We read the comments, saw there were people we liked, people we couldn’t relate to at all and slowly waded in, hopefully to the shallow end first. That’s all I was trying to say to Kalus. “Hit the shallow end first rather than a cannonball off the diving board!” 🙂
I totally got what you were saying..but sometimes its hard to read the emotion behind the words in these comments. I just keep that in mind, unless somebody really has some beef with me..cool potatoes~*
Besides it helps out alot that nobody really talks to me either…LOL, besides you;)
@pinky lee
Oh, I hear you. I worry more or less constantly that my words will seem harsh, opinionated, cutting even when I am just after attempting to make a difficult distinction as I see it. I do feel passionately about things from time to time and I do ramble on about my intuitions because I’ve learned over the years to always trust that Little Voice Inside. I think that’s good advice to all young women, btw. Listen to that voice, always. Don’t pre-empt and censor it. DON’T ignore it. It will always serve you well and will get stronger and more sure over time. Mine has gotten very loud and clear at this point because I’ve trusted it. So please forgive me, fellow list members, if I share intuitions from time to time. I’ve been a writer all my long life and there’s one thing I am sure of: Always Trust The Voice. 🙂
And I LIKE you Pinky! I bet everyone does! xxoo

what the meaning of
OT5
Jaeharem or something like that
Chunsas
GAPP
ODP
?
To answer your question:
OT5 – fans who support all 5 members of DBSK
Jaeharem and Chunsas – Jaejoong and Yoochun fans
GAPP – General All Purpose Post (for spazzing, posting pictures/videos etc)
ODP – Open Discussion Post, which is where you are posting now. You can see more details at the top of this page.
OH thank you too much
A hahaha!
Have you seen Psy’s new video for his song “Gentleman”? It is trending on Yahoo U. S. news right now. I love the song and the dance–both are very catchy! I wonder if JYJ would ever be interested in doing a cameo in one of Psy’s videos? Just a thought.
yes I’ve seen the video but honestly I don’t like it one bit. it feels somewhat trashy? maybe that’s too harsh a word to put on it but I just don’t like it. gangnam style was funny in poking fun at the carefully put up facade of the rich class. the dance was hilarious and catchy. but “mother father gentleman”? the video itself didn’t seem to be poking fun at the idea of society expecting guys to be gentleman but rather, came across as a bit mean? I truly don’t hope for this to catch on though I can see its mass appeal as a generally light-hearted song.
JJ and Psy are acquainted but I don’t see any collaboration possible, mainly with the fact that JYJ are still pretty much alienated by everyone in the music industry. Psy has a wide reach in terms of fanbase so if there was any opportunity for them to work tgt, it’d benefit the guys by allowing the world to at least get to see them and it might pique their interest, but musically I think they’re on very different paths. Psy’s into powerful dances and punching out his lines while JYJ is more of a singing group. It might work with JYJ as their dorky selves with outlandish outfits in a few scenes but I’m not even sure I’d want JYJ to be known as the jokers in the background of Psy’s video?
anyway yeah that’s all my thoughts on the issue! haven’t been commenting in such a long time! I miss this place.
This is the first time I’ve gotten upset from reading an ODP thread. What is going on with this fandom. Are we being invaded by trolls? People recommending raccoon fur, still bringing up TVXQ5, telling people they are ignorant for being concerned about the precarious situation in N Korea, people saying they won’t support PYC’s acting career, what the heck is going on? I’m utterly baffled right now. It’s like we can’t get along unless we have a common target. Now that SM and Avex have been overcome, what, we are just going to turn on each other?
TULIPSS, GINA and KIKO = Same person
DELETED COMMENTS BY ADMIN for breaking the Rules
We are a JYJ’s Fansite!
I’m sorry dear..that’s just too harsh and even if I like him,I think we should respect his decision more. As much as I’m a fan,I don’t have the power to dictate what he wants to do,and that goes to all of his fans. I can understand that you like him as an actor,but you can never say he does not like singing or performing…among the three of them-he was the one discovered for composing and singing his own song and he mentioned more than once that he loves performing on stage. I’m sorry if I’m pushing my thoughts on you, but I just feel that ‘he just stuck with JYJ who not relevant anymore’ is too much and offensive-for me at least.
Hmmm I don’t know exactly what to tell you, but I hope you aren’t upset anymore… I guess most of the time it’s sharing opposite opinions… I mean, I know sometimes it’s, well, not funny at all, but it’s a huge fanbase, so I guess there will always be different opinions. I hope you will focus on the positive, rather than the negative ^^
am not new in JYJ3 LOLL but am rarely visiting ODP.. LOLL what’s going on here.. passing by to say hi ^___^
Hi!!!
xD
Hi…^____^
Lynn this is just a discussion as you read thru anything goes I just hope everyone keeps it peaceful and sunshine shine more often.
Hi (^_^)/
there you go DP ^__^
@tulipss
I’ve learned not to listen to what other people say and I can understand your feelings. I, like him as a person, then as a singer and then as an actor. I love his voice and you may notice that his fanbase got bigger due to his acting in dramas, but despite being a very good actor, he is also a very talented singer. I’ve read comments here that I disagree with and I say my opinion too, but as much as I want, I can’t put it into another person’s mouth that Yoochun is a great singer when she doesn’t think like I do. So I just let her be and wait for that moment when she’s wowed by how good Yoochun can actually sing.
So dear, I hope you can feel better about Yoochun singing because I’ve seen him sing in Tokyo Dome and moved to tears by his voice and I can assure you, there’s a lot of fans who also love him as a singer as well as an actor. When Yoochun is on stage, he have fun with his fans, he shows how much he loves his fans and how he misses us as much we miss him. You can feel the love he wanted to give and show…so don’t let yourself be discourage by other people’s opinion just because it doesn’t tally with you coz there’s also other fans who isn’t saying it, but thinks the same way as you do.
And about JYJ..they are the home each one of them returns to and they shine brilliantly and the best when they’re together and even if they can’t promote on TV-they are exclusive and phenomenal..
Just wanna congratulate JYJ3 and Mia for setting up this site to bring the international JYJ fans together.
To think when JYJ first came out on their own, we JYJ fans have no home to call our own, until JYJ3 comes along.
So thank you very much JYJ3, Mia and the admins^^
Having been here ever since this site set up, I’m proud to say, this is where we JYJ fans can come together.
So acegeas, antis and trolls, pls click the “X” on your top right hand side.
Welcome but don’t come back.
You’ll not want to know what we JYJ fans can do to protect JYJ and our home.
JYJ forevaaaa!!! love JJ YC JS … thanks JYJ3 … lets keep supporting JYJ activity ahead … this is JYJ3 right? J Y J only , only JYJ , only the 3 of JYJ ^^ i supposed hehe love you admins *kiss – owkey my comment goes here and there haha just want to give my support for JYJ and JYJ3 and all the JYJ fans *BIG hug

I like the fact that they say general all purpose post •You can talk about different issues related to JYJ/Kpop/Kdrama/SM/AVEX and other themes here. In a •If the comment creates fanwars between JYJ’s fans, it will be deleted by the Admins.

@Ellis @Lyn @JenKnight
HELLO!!! *hugs* 😀
hi tulipss,
i think i totally understand your POV. believe mi cuz i have been there too… i found JYJ through YC’s acting project SKKS… i fell in love with YC as an actor rather than singer… i have to agree that JJ n JS is a step better than yc when it comes to vocal..But after watching Jap unforgettable concert, tokyo dome fancams n listenining to JYJ albums, YC proved to me that he is equally capable in singing n he shines even more with his brothers Jaejoong n Junsu as JYJ. With.kpop blooming, it saddened me when people says JYJ doesn’t matter cuz just wen kpop spread beyond borders, JYJ focused on individual activities where they made their individual name like JJ as a rocker/actor, YC an actor n JS as a musical artist. Since they excel in their own projects, fans have tht selfish views to just stick with individual project, like u have for YC. But you cant deny that many YC who wished to see yc as a singer.
Post got cut: Cont of eariler mgs: YC brings different elements as a singers. Lately, his new song “walking through spring with her” captured me and made me even long for his solo album or JYJ new album. YC said in 1000 days magazine that in 2013 he will be more active in music business. I know YC will balance his role as an actor & as a member of JYJ. We have been giving so much love YC the actor, lets give him the same love as YC, member of JYJ!!! SORRY for my terrible english and greeting to all JYJ fans!!! 🙂
I was also drawn to Yuchun fandom due to the characters he portrayed in the Kdrama. But I’m also looking forward his singing career. Frankly I love his voice the most among the JYJ group and the way he convey his emotions/feeling through the songs he sing really touch my heart. To me, a piano, a microphone with Yuchun deep, inresistable voice is the most shining moment/scene on the stage.
I happened to see the disagreement earlier and I’d like to comment on it. JYJ stands for the three of them and it’s a path that they’ve chosen for themselves. As fans, as we can do is to support their decisions and to walk with them, not to force our opinions upon them, much less criticise the people who have stood by them in difficult times. The guys shine in their solo activities and they definitely put in their best because they have passion for those areas, whether it’s acting or musicals or solo albums. It’s true that they initially started these activities because of the fact that they were unable to promote as a group, but they’ve grown and excelled in their respective ventures so much that they have gained additional dimensions to their individual identities. However, they have expressed that even with their successes, they do not wish to leave JYJ. In fact, a major distinguishing factor of JYJ is that they take time out to focus on their solo activities and when they come back together as 3, they shine even more.
To the commenter earlier on, I hope you can rethink your position. JYJ stands the strongest when they are united and can fight against the injustice together. Insisting that any single member leaves to pursue only a particular area will not insulate him from being unable to promote. Regardless of whether they are JYJ or just jaejoong, yoochun and junsu individually, the media ban is in action. There will only be hope of seeing the guys freely on broadcast if they are simply too big to be ignored. It doesn’t matter even if you have no fondness for the other two members, but you cannot deny that they are in this fight together, they have chosen to stay together, and if it comes down to a pragmatic assessment, it is beneficial for them to hang on to each other. Being as JYJ doesn’t mean that you won’t get the solo activities you desire, just please be patient and wait for it.
I guess I know where her command comes from and all is due the concern of the date gradually reaching for Yuchun to go for military services, at least that’s what happen to me. As a Yuchun fan. I wish his actor position is strongly built in the Korea acting sector and give him an ease comeback to be a known actor by Directors/scriptwriters when he finish his military services. But on the other hand, I am also very attracted to his marvalous composing skill and be a good vocal singer, so if he can do a solo album, it’s my dream comes truth for me this year. if not, then I will also support him in the JYJ activities. But honestly I wish Yuchun will consider to take a role in a drama or a movie before going to the military services. .
I am agree with you, i think she just too concern about what will happen with YC when he go for military service. i also wish he can establish he position as an actor but i don’t think he will do any drama or movie before he going to the military service… just a few day ago i read in twitter the confirmation he will not doing any movie or drama until next year
I would like to second that devotion… Alone they stand strong together they can move mountains…
@tulipss
to be honest, i’ve never know JYJ before, until i watched YC’s drama in SKKS… i find him interested after watching that drama and fell in love with him and from then i’ve searched on him on net all about him and his background, and that i’ve found out that he is also a good singer..from then onwards, i have collected all YC stuffed whether as an actor or a singer or as a model.. I love YC so much but then i realized that he loves JJ & JS so i have accepted the fact to love and accept JYJ as whole…. coz for me if you truly love someone of course u should also love the people he loves to make him happy, right?
i find your comment is a bit harsh.. please be considerate the feelings of other people around here and be mindful that we as a fan of JYJ will always protect our boys from getting hurt… JJ & JS is YC happiness, they have proven their friendship thru thick & thin for the past years and had overcome all the difficulties together… as for my love for them, in fact, i always support them like buying all the stuff they have whether in their individual activities or as JYJ..
i understand how you feel but it is not good to comment like that in here as you knew a lot of people here love our boys as a whole.. so as you can see right now, any one who will say hurtful or offensive words to any of the boys will really get bash in here…
all we want is our boys happiness and support them whatever they want… we want peace and give love… but when it comes to our boys, we will eat those people alive who cause our boys getting hurt..
and oh btw, its not that JJ or JS is a good singer better than YC… YC is a good singer, i love his voice, in fact, i got goose bumps every time i hear his voice.. it is just that, each member has their own singing abilities.. you can not compared each of them, each one of them has different style of voice and all of them are a good singer!! ^^^
I usually just read the discussion, but since I have time to join I’m gonna say Hello to everyone here ^_^
I’m so thankful that JYJ3 team is always so update to share about JYJ news
and more thankful that JYJ fans are so amazing, love and support endlessly
Lets anticipating brighter future for our boys ^_^
Kim Jaejoong Fighting !!!
Park Yoochun Fighting !!!
Kim Junsu Fighting !!! ( forever last, uri xia cheonsa ❤ hehe )
@tullipss you wrote “Because if the comment questioned about how can YC become so popular than JJ in Japan, you guys will give a good respond.” Well, for the record, Junsu Yoochun Jaejoong, all three men are still popular in Japan. The thing is, during the Tokyo Dome concerts, Yoochun’s drama “I Miss You” will be broadcast in Japan TV, that’s why we iFans saw so many promotion of Yoochun there.
As a vocalist myself our voice is our instrument but there are time factors kick in to hamper the gift we are given we are only human
so if he was a little under the weather hopefully grace was given to him because not one artist wll hit a perfect note every time
do to illness fatigue and he is up front I only do choir and back up so if I get strained they must really feel it.
Jesus. What the hell is wrong with this fandom? If it isn’t some flimsy excuse of a “scandal” then it is “My oppa is better! What is he still doing with those two losers?! OMG My nail broke off~”
This is why I disappeared, not that anyone gives a crap, but ask yourselves why so many people leave this site or become silent readers instead. A good deal of the people who used to comment here don’t anymore. Aren’t some of you tired of trying to start shit on a website about a boyband of all things?!
@tulips,
Let Yuchun decide what he wants to do with his life. You aren’t his friend, his girl, or his mama. You are just a fan so quit being ridiculous.
@retrokim
Well, ~I~ cared that you disappeared and I’m really glad to hear from you again! I was just asking a couple of friends last week if they’d had any news of how you’re doing, actually. So I’m glad to hear from you. 🙂
@retrokim
To piggyback on @lilibaiyu’s comment, it’s definitely good to see you again. I might not post that much, but I always enjoy reading comments from people I haven’t seen in awhile, especially someone like you. I hope all is going well.
come on now … we’ve been missing you here ( it’s really not the same without you & the other older readers ) don’t let things like this drive you out .
@lilibaiyu, meme & JYJ and Tiffany
Well you guys are always the exception!!!! BAF2 too! Where is she?
Anyways, there are just at times too many people who make such stupid comments. It is upsetting because I come to read and get you know….happy….over JYJ and then I see people pissing over themselves because they think their bias isn’t being worshipped enough to their liking.
@retrokim (so happy to be writing that again!)
I just think people who have a one member only bias that involves disrespecting and insulting the other two really couldn’t possibly know very much about JYJ, or for that matter, their bias. And that’s kind of a shame because they are completely missing out on one of the great joys of following JYJ and enjoying who they are, their powerfully inspirational journey and what they do. I wonder sometimes, do these people ever dream of meeting their “One And Only” – do they ever even fantasize about such a thing? Because what they are doing to that member’s beloved brothers when they say rude things about them would be such a total turn-off to their bias! Can you imagine the conversation they would have? “Hi, I can’t believe I’m finally meeting you – I’ve been telling everyone online about how much I hate your other two members and how you’re the only talented one!”
“EXCUSE ME???!!”
I just think it would be a nicer world for JYJ and their fans if everyone treated each of the members as JYJ themselves would wish us to. It’s certainly what each of them would want.
@retrokim
even if each one of JYJ goes solo you’ll still see people bitching about their basis not getting enough recognition and how he’s better that the other two ( and go one hating on them while they’re at it ) .. some people are just like that , they can’t just like who they like and live it at that .
forget about it and just keep enjoying JYJ .
and now if you won’t listen and go back to lurking again , I’m going to resort to Drastic measure …like posting very cheesy music videos about ” wanting you back ” and embarrass the hell out of you .
@retrokim
YA!! You ask where am I? Did you not get my emails to you? I’ve had a few things to take care of, and now have more time.
I obviously missed the post by the erstwhile YC commenter, @tulipss. One thing always amazes me, when folks think they know the JYJ member better than the member knows himself. What’s up with that?
PYC walked out the door with KJJ and KJS, four years ago. He said, along with them, that they didn’t know if they would ever have a singing career again, or find themselves on a farm slinging manure. But lo and behold, here they are. They are where they are because they clearly understood the need for freedom and clarity in their lives. They now have that. They were willing to work as hard as they need to, and do whatever it takes to make their lives a success. And look what successes they are! When those three young brothers are together – fan meets, promotion sets, or concerts, etc. – the way they interact with each other should tell you something. If you don’t see it, don’t know what to say to you. You can’t miss the love and the bonding. Nothing means more to them than that. You don’t walk the plank together just to get tired of each other on a whim. Not these three.
For all those who can’t wrap themselves around this concept, please take a moment and reflect — it is about what THEY want, each and every member of JYJ. It’s not what I want or you want, it’s what PYC, KJJ, and KJS want. Nobody else gets a say.
Now, miss retrokim, hey girl! You’ve been missed! Try answering your email sometime. Good to see your face in the place.
RETROKIM!!! O_O Are my eyes deceiving me or is someone else using your monikor?!! Don’t let things you can’t control rile you up so much. I once worked for a misogynistic chef who was so stupid I would find myself staring at him throughout the day & wondering could he really be that dumb & still be human, or was he some robot our stingy boss had built to keep the wages down. The fact that he was such a bad chef but thought he was some undiscovered Jamie Oliver only added to the mystery & the hilarity. To this day I still can’t quite grasp that people really can be THAT stupid! (But then I see a YJ post & remember that unfortunately they can be!) & you have to admit the Chun acgae posting about not wanting JYJ to drag her beloved down is pretty funny given Chunnie was in tears of happiness at Tokyo Dome saying he wanted to continue as JYJ forever & that it was always going to be the three of them!Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees!! Whatever, it’s good to see you again. 😀
jae’s more popular… chunnie’s more popular… junsu’s more popular..
when you question that, there’s no way some fans wouldnt feel uncomfortable about that.
by the end of the day.. its still JYJ
This question concerns a problem I’m having while composing my comments. All of a sudden the box begins to jump while I’m typing. Is anyone else having this issue, and if so, do you have a fix for it? Or do the admins have any suggestions? Any help provided to take care of this problem will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
By the way, the spell check feature is cool too. 🙂
@BAF
Yes, I have that problem ALL the time. No idea if it’s fixable.
Me too. Anytime I write a longish comment the box starts eating it long before I’ve finished. It’s incredibly annoying. Like Lili, I’ve got no idea if it’s fixable, but here’s hoping.
What I’ve decided to do is this. Did it once before when I had entering issues with long posts. I open up Word, do my composing there, then do a copy/paste and bring it over here to the comment section. I just keep it open until I’m finished my JYJ3 session. This worked well until the issue seemed to go away. So, now I’m back in circumvent mode. 😉
This only started recently. About a couple of weeks ago there was no problem. Lili I do recall you mentioning you had this happening to you, and at that time I didn’t, now I do.
Sapphie, I’m guessing this is some sort of glitch with WP, but I’ll be darned if I know how it can be corrected. I tried perusing WP to see if there was any info, but dealing with them is like communicating with a dead person.
@Baf
” I tried perusing WP to see if there was any info, but dealing with them is like communicating with a dead person.”
LOL!
I shouldn’t laugh – I’ll be one of them soon.
🙂
There is spell check as much as I mistype I would love that feature….
Yep, the spell check seems to be new. Could have bought me for 2 cents when I saw the little red squiggly line start popping up! 🙂 Are you saying you’re not getting it when you compose your comments? I get it when I do. It’s only been recently. Actually, just about the same time as the comment section jumping up and down like a Mexican jumping bean, come to think of it.
Yes, my membership in Typos ‘R US might have to be amended. 😉
No no squiggly lines I will just have to keep my membership in typos are us for now..
Well, with all things WP, anything is likely to happen…here today, gone tomorrow. 🙂
Oh no! I made a really long reply about why I was gone for a while and *poof*, it didn’t show up….
Whatever. I missed you guys and I’ll have to reset all my passwords cause I can’t log into anything except WordPress at the moment. I just want me some JYJ!!!! Albums, concerts, fanmeets and….nipples! Lots of nipples~ Hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!! Legs, chests and strong arms. Junsu’s duck butt as well….yes….yes….
@Sapphire
HAHAHAHA! Jamie Oliver?! More like Bozo the MegaClown. People need to get some perspective.
@retrokim
Don’t worry – it will show up. This happened to me several times too but when I come back the next day, there it is. Don’t know why it happens. I think WordPress is run by a dark wizard with mood swings.
Well, it looks as if we are all having our ‘issues’ right now. But it could be worse, so I’ll just keep on keeping on.
@retrokim
I had a similar problem with logins a few weeks ago because something got a hold of my system and I had to login on all the places where I asked to stay logged in. The one site that really freaked me out was FB. I kept needing to reset my pw after getting a new one. Finally had to go into my internet tools/opt section and select always sign in. Then I had to go into the Control Panel and add the site to my security settings. Huge pain in the rear. Now if this WP comment thingy gets corrected, life will be even better.
Psy was invited to the White House Correspondence Dinner by President Barack and Michelle Obama! Maybe JYJ will be next! 🙂
Hulu.com is showing lots of free Korean movies right now. Type in hulu.com, click on “movies” and scroll down to “Popular in Korean.” They are showing JJ’s “Heaven’s Postman!”
Also, Psy will be performing on the “Today Show” Friday (5/3) with his dancers in New York. I want to see him get down!
I really do not wanna curse but damn it, just back from Allkpop, and I saw so many bad comments about JYJ fandom and color light stick.. is it really a big deal??? Since I care about JYJ in 2012 based on Yuchun’s dramas. So hate and still don’t get those crazy fans out there.
Stop going on the site that would solve the problem, sooner or later maybe it would just disapear or be a room for nuts only.
@meNmicky
There are crazy people in the world. There are kids looking to go online and be insulting. There are sore losers who are butthurt. There are people specifically paid to leave hurtful comments about JYJ in places like AllKPop – it’s a part-time job for them. You just can’t worry about these people. JYJ is fine, will be fine. If it’s upsetting to see these comments, just close the window and look at something else. 🙂
