and besides he’s just a member of a group performing collective activities, so TVXQ was more popular than each individual member’s name. ( and the writer is right, even if the members changed, as long as the group’s name is intact, the company can still extract money – that’s what happening to TVXQ(2) from the legendary TVXQ(5), SM is really good in business.
The journalist mentions Kim Jaejoong as if he was just attached to a name and wasn’t already popular in Asia. JYJ were already popular as individuals when they left. I think the author is overreaching in his statements a group that has member changes yet still keep their name intact does not gurantee success. In fact it almost catapults them to failure.
I think the author, when making those statements, either didn’t do his research or just failed to mention that the breakup had devastating effects on the fandom, that led to some fans boycotting, spreading malicious rumors, and all out fandom wars. Both JYJ and TVXQ went through a lot because of all the spite from the break up..even losing fans.
TVXQ fandom split up. I think the journalist failed to realize this, when he made those statements.
If it was all about a name? Wouldn’t those fans still support Yunho and Max because they are using the name TVXQ? Yet, that didn’t happen.So, the author in my opinion is wrong a group isn’t going to be successful strictly because of a name. I don’t think TVXQ is successful just because of their name. I think they are successful because of their hardwork.
I think all five now, are popular enough to be known by just their individual names and not their respective group names.
@Daisy
It’s a very good article with 9 pages about Kim Jaejoong yet you got nothing to say except to criticize the writer because of stating something “from a business point of view….” or because of my reaction. Of course I won’t argue with you or justify my comment above, why waste my energy on that matter, I’m here in JYJ3 for J-Y-J .
@Kris
Agree with you.Why other two are still using TVXQ?I think because if they don’t ,they wouldn’t be able to gain anything after the split.They need TVXQ,the group’s name to continue.Shame on them and on SM.
Perhaps you should read more than a few sentences to know what the article is really saying. It’s a good article, and I especially enjoyed the stories (even though I have heard of them before, it’s reminds me of how kind and loving Jaejoong really is).
And I think most of us JYJ fans will also enjoy this remark, “the name they built is no longer their prefix (refering to JYJ leaving TVXQ)”
Then later, “Kim Jaejoong’s compositions show that as a singer, he doesn’t need any prefixes to be outstanding.”
This is good article to read. (Thanks the JYJ translators^^)
I cannot emphasize how much I love and support this man, Kim Jae Joong.
No matter his background, talents, personalities, characters, strengthes&weaknesses, I love him as who he is.
I hope people recognise him as an artist who is trying his best and deserves to be respected.
If you l(you know who I’m referring to) ove him with “conditions” then this kind of support is really not necessary.
Of course we’ll wait for you JJ. AND JYJ. You guys are basically the only men in my life (classmates and family doesn’t count, right), I don’t even like anyone in Korea except for you guys.
Thanks a lot Sina Entertainment for this well written article, deep and brave, for a Korean singer Kim Jaejoong ,
and for our dear translators, thank you very much.
Kim Jaejoong : “If youth is pain then let this pain be stronger.”
All these years, you’ve shown us your remarkable strength to fight all odds, no wonder you’re an inspiration to a lot of people.
“I Am A Singer” judge “The One” previously stated that Kim Jajoong is his student that he is the most proud of.
You’re not mistaken Sir.
” If I got to release another solo album, I want to display some different sides of rock ” .
YES, please……. and since he met Hyde recently and talked about music, it will be so wonderful if Hyde give Jaejoong some songs and since I love One Kiss and Mine very much, I’m still wishing that Jae will work with Kim Bada again. A lot of very exciting things to look forward.
Thanks @ohmyjunsu & @ning225 😀 It’s always great to see positive news about JYJ in the media. Although I’m a bit annoyed that they gloss over why JYJ was banned from activities in SK & Japan, as if the blocking was a normal, everyday thing a singer should expect if he dares to leave his company for any reason…
with the first few sentences above , reminded me the last time xia commented from an (interview) i think , that how jaejoong and yoochun hated their stage names when they were still tvxq .Indeed , when they were still 5 , their band name resounds the legend not their individualities.
So to mention their full names was actually an act that they were already recognized thru their distinctions and talents . jyj is not just jyj.there were three profound artists behind it namely , kim junsu , kim jaejoong, and park yoochun
” i cant emphasize how much i love and support this man kjj.no matter his background, talents, caracters, personalities, strengthness n weaknessess. i love him who he is” ( im agree with shadow above ) who can ignore this heartwarming guy?
I don’t like the opening remarks and I quit right away.
I think what it means by ” not well-known” is that he was know by the name Hero Jaejoong, it was only in JYJ that he became Kim Jaejoong.
and besides he’s just a member of a group performing collective activities, so TVXQ was more popular than each individual member’s name.

It holds true to JYJ for it stands to its individual name, but why are the other two still using TVXQ ?

i think they meant as compared to being known as an individual, they’re more focused and known as a group when they were five.
It’s a very good article though.
