hello friends!!
Hello everyone! Can anybody here enlighten me about JJ being friend with Jang Geun Suk? I saw many fans not too happy about it, I don’t like JGS personally but I am wondering why many fans don ‘t like Jejung being close to him… Just Confused:-D
im also confused..
hi im also confused why all of a sudden jj being with jgs these past few days, im kinda bothered because of not so good reputation of jgs and i dont want jj being involved with him, if its his choice i respect him, but i really hope he will think twice or thrice before he go with him…. Chunnie/JYJ Fighting!!!
I do not like JGS too but that is Jae’s choice, so let it be.
what or who is jgs?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jang_Geun-suk
@chunnie/JYJ-Forever;
“I’m kinda bothered because of not so good reputation of jgs.” Why is jgs’ reputation not good? What did he do?
@ Shirley USA,
a friend who is jgs fans always complaining that he just knew them when he have concerts, promotions, album after that nothing… there was also some fans in china who are dissappointed in him cause he didnt even say comforting words to those affected by earthquake instead only his agency there had… also some of his loyal fans knew he’s taking coccaine in his concerts just to keep him high, take note loyal fans and ahjumma fans from japan said that…
jGS is not well liked in Korea, he has a reputation of being a drama queen and a diva. Plus his excessive plastic surgery is also ridiculed. What I worry about is that people tend to think birds of a feather flock together, it won’t help JJ’s popularity in Korea. But at the same time, I wouldn’t want him to base friendships on public perception.
i didn’t know sukkie had such bad rep…wow. i though he was just a bit wild and crazy at times which makes him funny. but i still can’t see him hanging out with jaejoonie. no offense but jaejoonie is very classy, opposite from sukkie
@Chunnie/JYJ_ Forever As a fan of jgs, we are always very happy to know he made new friends. Disappointed to know that so many JYJ fans who do not know him well write comments on him and spread it like it is a fact. I believe you will be very angry when you read false reports about your idol. A lot of people do not know him well may dislike him, but look at the friends he had. He is good friend with heechul, hong ki, ji sung, psy, song joong ki, rain, Hyde, etc. Do you think they would be friends if JGS is so bad?
JGS openly smokes and drinks and but he is not into drugs. And he did write a weibo to encourage the people affected by the earthquake. Even if he didn’t, i don’t see what is wrong. The situation is not so severe to someone who does not live in that country. You cannot expect idols to make comments whenever there is a natural disaster. I don’t see Bigbang, FT island etc making any comments. He did make a huge donation to japan when he was not as big in Japan a few years ago, just like JYJ did during that period.
Your friend is definitely not a loyal fan of jgs if she makes such a comment. jgs often share his news with his fans even during non promotional period. He shares his very feelings and intimate thoughts with his fans through the official channel. But i guess your friend is not an official fan club member. He even tweet his whereabouts once in Busan and invite fans nearby to the beach and they had a small gathering where he pretends to be a street artiste. He is a very approachable idol. Yoona also commented when shooting Love Rain, she is surprised when she saw how JGS interact with his fans. JGS invited his fans to play badminton with him during his free time before. When he was back from Japan, he brought back souvenirs ( buns which he endorsed) and gave to the fans who are waiting for him etc.
I guess this is my last time coming here. Initially wanted to know more about JYJ since Jaejoong is a good friend of him, but it looks like JYJ fans see their idols more superior. I dont mind that, but refrain from commenting if you do not know much about him.
@mkverse, @carmen janet “Even if it’s a five-year-old’s role, the child is given the responsibility of a working man. I started out like that. No matter how tired I was, no matter how much I wanted to cry or sleep, how hungry I was, how badly I wanted to go home or play with my friends, I had to forget all these at the filming venue.” ” Even at interviews, I have to answer what everyone wanted to hear to avoid being scolded and to be able to walk on, but from a certain moment, i disliked all those. I AM NOT A ROBOT” by JGS.
JKS is not well liked in Korea not because he is a drama queen or a diva. That is what netizens said. Korea public does not like him because of his personality. They can accept idols with 4D personality like Kim Heechul but they want actors to be more mysterious, clean cut, to always answer the “safest” answer. JKS is a very ambitious young man and is very vocal about it. Korea public is not used to actor behaving this way. And he also has a very 4D personality and people cannot understand his sense of humour because he is an actor and not an idol. At the age of 17, he already said he is going to set up his own company, he wanted to own his own building and people are shocked by how ambitious he was. He will ordered pizza for heechul and write things like “For Big Space Star who is helping protect our country, Asia Prince has treated him to pizza.” People will comment that he is arrogant because he called himself Asia Prince. He always laugh at himself and said that he is a self-proclaimed Asia Prince but he said he called himself that because he wants to remind himself this is the goal he wants to achieve.
JKS is a very bright person who knows how to make people like him. He just doesn’t want to do it as he wants to stay true to himself. He doesn’t want to feel manipulated to say things against his heart, hence he set up his own company so that he can focus on doing things he likes. Despite he was a nobody when he left, he manage to start his own company with just one manager initially and now he is the boss with numerous staff.
“birds of a feather flock together”, you are right about this. I guess Jaejoong and Jgs can become friends because they both love to make new friends and has a lot of common friends. Both of them loves japan culture and they are both into entrepreneurship. JKS has his own building in Japan that sells his own product. A cafe, beauty spa, boutique , shop which sell his official merchandise etc.
I don’t mind people who dislike JGS, not everyone will like him. But please do not spread rumours about him. I am sure kpop fans know how rumours affect people impression. And the more people spread, people who do not know the truth will start to state all this rumours as facts.
@mindy– I admit I didn’t know anything about JGS, that’s why I asked about fans reaction.. If what you stated were all true, then I am relieved coz maybe just like me, you wouldn’t want your Idol to have a bad influence friend.. Our Jaejoong is not perfect and no one is but we love him as well as other members of JYJ and we are just wanted to protect them even in just a little way we can… If I had offended you or anyone, my apologies..
Thank you for your comment 🙂 I am a fan of both JKS and JYJ(JJ). I became a fan of JKS because he’s not afraid of show his wild and crazy side(I think it adds to his cuteness). JJ is friends with many people. We all know that. So JJ being friends with JKS shouldn’t be a surprise. They both are good people, they are both are fabulous entertainers, and they both love, love there fans. They both have many contributions and helped so many. I think its great their friends.
Much Love 🙂
Listen dear, I’m a JYJ fan, strictly speaking. Someone asked why JGS has a bad rap and I relayed the public perception of him in S Korea. Is that what I personally believe, no, cause I don’t know him nor do I follow him, so I would have no idea. I’m sorry my explaining his bad rap in Korea affected you so much, but I’m not one to shy away from something just because its bad. Like when people bring up Yoochun and his asthma and korea’s perception that he’s faking it, or that he’s smoking just to make it worse so he can get out of the mandatory military service. I don’t avoid it, cause that truly is the general public’s perception of him, instead I take the opportunity to educate anyone I come across who has this mindset. So I appreciate you viewpoint, but that’s not really going to change what the Korean public thinks.
I love rules peaceful place to stay… minus the havoc I normally cause smile… Thanks amin please supply english subs.
i wonder how much does the NII clothing cost in korea?? anybody know??

Click 10QMall or you can just explore the site.
Welcome~have a good news ^_^
Hi~~I wonder Yoochun’s hair style on May9th.Yoochun’s hair is longer than before.Yoochun’s every hair style is shine,because he is Yoochun,do u agree with me? haha~ ^_^
Yes I agree.
Haha~~Yean~Wait for that day together~~^_^
Yeah.. totally agree, I really like his hair during ” I miss you” from ep 4 to 11 🙂
Can’t agree more…but I missed his long hair ^^
To those living in South Korea, Why is it that JYJ never reaches any pop chart?Nor still appearing very limited in Korean Shows? I thought the case VS SM is already settled but why does it seem that they are still being treated unfairly? I have 3 Korean channel (fan here outside SK) here and its very rare to see them. What are the fans petition/move in order to end this blackout against JYJ especially those who are living in South Korea? I mean JYJ are fighting for their rights but it seems all they got is nothing but vendetta. It’s been awhile, SM should have move on right? Thank You guys. #JYJFighting
Ok I believe in knowing our enemy we all need to write a letter to CNN who is backing their Kareokee rooms but CNN does not like bad press since we are all over the world lets vocalize our displeasure of the collaboration with SM… This way maybe they will voluntarily ease up and stop any holds on JYJs career any futher… I know what the courts say but we are seeing way to many interfering remarks so lets start small people remember the biggest way to send a message is financially ok I know spell check is not working…No Global domination under our watch…Child labor is not acceptable any where in the world… Still studying there financials maybe they will give in and I can stop my crazy idea of taking them apart one by one…..
if you’re referring to music show’s chart then it’s do to the way it counts the points .. next to sales they count streaming of songs and broadcast appearance . I think that billboard Korea also has it’s own function .
and since we know that JYJ can only really depend on album sales because everything else it blocked to them , they only appear in Gaon & Hento chart ( that count album only )
and even if fans keep streaming JYJ’s songs they’re still not going to be up the music charts to top it on that . ( and they’ll never let them on the shows anyway ) . plus these chart are know to be “presumably” manipulated .
so I would understand if JYJ and their fans don’t bother with them ( for now anyway ) .
I’ve always wondered why people keep saying that JYJ is greedy. Personally, even as a casual fan I don’t really believe that they are that kind of people. If they are, they could have claimed they money that SM owned them right ? Why can’t people understand that it’s not always the money ? Maybe it’s about the freedom ? Some people said JYJ should regret their decision because it’s wrong. They said that leaving SM is wrong and they probably will be richer if they stayed, probably because of TVXQ2 successful tour which got them a lot of money. Pardon me, I probably said this because I’m still young. I apologize if my statement offend anyone because I’ve always been a silent reader, this is the first time I commented on a site like this. It will be great if someone reply me ^.^
http://jyj3.net/2013/05/01/editorial-ultimate-k-pop-survival-guide-jyj/
Will the above URL help you for a better understanding? I am a new fan (I am officially their fan after the JYJ’s Busan’s concerts in June 2011) but I know what is right and what is wrong when I’ve read up about their case and those rumours. And I believe my JYJ.
Thanks, it really help me alot. I know sometimes that JYJ fans can be protective but honestly I understand why you guys are protective of them. I’ve seen people call JYJ fans so many names, sometimes some of you guys can get a bit too much but no matter what, i really really really understand JYJ fans and I know that there are good and bad fans. I find you guys are really nice people eventhough I know many people don’t ^.^
I agree on you that JYJ was NEVER greedy. They leave SM because they are fighting for their rights. They should have been considered a HERO since they voice out something that is considered as taboo in show business, which is fighting against a giant. It was never easy for JYJ to be treated like they have leprosy in South Korea. In the end it is the FANS that makes an idol and not giant companies like SM. Shouldn’t the fans in SK be more bolder regarding this issue. They got us, international fans as back up anyways. I don’t know but even if JYJ appears smiling on stage, they doesnt seem so happy. I believe that Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu is not about all money. They want freedom, but unless the unfair treatment is taken of… They will not be completely freed. ;(
Honestly, I’m so excited right now. I din’t really expect for anyone to reply me so you guys really make me happy ^.^ and I really don’t expect for anyone to agree with me. I told about this to my mom ( she’s not really a fan, but she knows JYJ ), she suddenly got really pissed off LOL, I was really suprised. Shes completely on JYJ side eventhough she likes the other two. I remembered my mom said that the lawsuit between SM and JYJ is not a just lawsuit anymore, It seems like it became a personal vendetta for SM. What happen to JYJ is not just SM anymore, it’s the whole entertaiment industry agaisnt them. It’s sad really :(, I really miss watching them on variety shows. Half of my friends don’t know who JYJ is, it makes me sad. To think I’m only 15, i shouldn’t be thinking too much sometimes. But thanks,really, you and murasaki really made my day huhu~ ^.^
You are wise beyond your years then. Post your twitter so I can follow you. Anyways we are JYJ sisters. 😻
^____^
I want to reply to you girl but I’ll go on to write an easy about this matter =_=
theses kind of comments used to bother me but now I can’t help but laugh at the logical behind them .
I apologize if it bothers you though 🙂
why would you bother me ? ! … * pinch check *
@Teddy Bear23
The people who are saying JYJ should regret leaving TVXQ because of the other members success, aren’t looking at the larger reasons why JYJ decided to leave. There were a host of reasons why they wanted to leave. JYJ have always said that they never regretted their decision to leave SM. Regardless, of what money JYJ could be earning a part of their former group, they would still be unhappy. Money does not equate happiness. They disliked being at SM.
I think both JYJ and the other members made the choices that they saw necessary for their careers and their happiness. It doesn’t matter who is making more or who is doing what tour, to me as long as the members are happy with what they are doing. I’m not sure why people call JYJ greedy? Its not greedy to want a paycheck that reflects how hard you worked. Its not greedy to spend that money on yourself to buy fine things and help your family. I think a lot of those fans calling JYJ greedy are just jealous of their wealth.
Just to add to my comments, those fans who say JYJ are greedy, fail to mention all the charities JYJ has been involved in and the fact on a number of occassions JYJ has waived their check and given it to charity instead.
adding to Pinky Lee SM was making all the money at the end of the day and when JYJ left they found out how greasy SM really were no way you work the hours they were working and still be in debt to the company that enslaved you this is called entrapment.. Very illegal her in the states to bill you for everything then say oh heres your paycheck you made billions but they toss you a couple of dollars here and there that not only does not foot the bills but leaves me indebted to you so greedy no but smart enough to now when they were being had hours +gross sell of goods concerts and personal apperances they knew something was not right… so in light of all the pass heart aches they are now spreading there wings so proud of them and yes I would fight to protect JYJ to the end my friend… JYJ FIGHTING…
About TV2XQ’s successful tours, they are free to do and, they have Avex and SM’s full support with full advertisement. They still can sing TV5XQ songs also.
What will happen IF opposite happened..? ie, HoMin left SM and JYJ stayed. I don’t think HoMin will not be as successful as JYJ since JYJ are more talented. You can tell by JYJ’s successful Award winning career in dramas and musicals. And, Junsu’s 3 days sold-out concerts on Dec 29-31 (same days with KBS, SBS and MBC Gayo Festivals where all other K-pop groups performed) proved that how successful they are. Even Jae Joong’s mini concert have same amount of audience as other groups’ concerts had.
<>
If JYJ stayed in SM, their FULL talent will never be exposed. They will be stuck with SM town concert,
Nowadays, because of JYJ’s successful World Tours, other K-pop idols / groups now have confidence to go to Europe and South America. JYJ are the first Pioneers. Of course they have confidence as they know how much fans around the world love and support them. And they are always grateful to their fans as well…
Every time I visit open discussion I am very excited cause I really love to read all your points of view regarding JYJ and how you really like them, and I get to know JYJ more because of you guy’s , I love this open discussion because this is the bridge that each one of you get to know each other and you can open up what’s on your mind and when it comes of questions regarding JYJ wow! someone can answer right away , and what I like here most is all of you here are friendly and cheerful 🙂 have a nice day I am happy to be part of your conversation see yeah!
@mjjgirl4ever I don’t have one, I only have facebook but I just made one because you LOL.. Huhu ~ ^.^
My twitter username is Amal9095
I followed you already. My twitter name is the same as here.
so what would be next for JYJ now ?
a new album ( Korean , Japanese or English )
more solo work ( dramas or music )
world tour ( but that only if there’s new music )
Hello! If tides won’t change in Korea (most likely it’ll be status quo, unless Korean Fans do something about it.) I’ll say drama will be the best option. It would be fun to see them 3 as brothers in a drama. And they’ll make an OST of it, release an album in Japan and the rest of the world then tour! Then need to be with one another.
I want a Japanese drama ( and some music with that )
and maybe a Korean movie and soundtrack .
It would be amazing to see them in a movie… ^^
oh ..man that would be great !!
what kind of movie would you like them to be in ?
I think they said after the recent Tokyo Dome concerts that they were planning a Japanese language JYJ album for now. I hope it’s soon – I’m getting seriously bad withdrawal symptoms here!
Hi everyone 🙂 hope you are all well. I agree with with LKyhaybos4321 it would be amazing to see them in a movie 😀 Especially Junsu! x
Its about money at the end of the day…if that wasn’t the case why not work and not worry about it. People that do this are called volunteers. They can not do and help others without it, so they need to make it. Now greed on the other hand is another monster in itself. I don’t think that JYJ were greedy but Im with them, SHOW ME THE MONEY!! If Im giving you my blood, sweat and tears, you better believe I want to see something from it. JYJ wanted their well deserved funds, seeing that between the 3 of them most of the creativity was the reason the group did so well(my opinion). I can’t hate on JYJ for standing up for themselves and wanting their bank. SM were, are, and will forever be road apples….~*
Make that Album and make your paper JYJ~~
I agree with you… but road apples? Sorry, please explain.
Just a sweeter way of saying horse poop…Yes, sometimes even Pinky lee can be a decent lady,LOL~*
@pinky lee
It wasn’t just about the money, although they wanted & deserved far more of the profits of their work than they were getting. All three were also personally unhappy at SM, not just because they were being cheated of their earnings, but because of how they were treated, being over-worked, having very few holidays, being used & exploited, having no say in any of their work – Junsu once said the ONLY thing they had any control or input over was their hairstyles. Their whole lives were controlled by SM, every aspect & facet of it, & they wanted their freedom, happiness & personal fulfillment more than anything. If it had just been about money, they would never have left – all three admitted that they had faced & accepted the fact that they could fail & end up as farmers. I don’t know about farmers in SK, but farmers where I live probably make even less money than SM idols do.
I think we are saying the same thing here. Its wasn’t just about the money, but it was about money. Im well aware that there were other factors contributed to their reasons for leaving. Like I said they were giving SM everything, basically their whole lives up and all they got were cute haircuts…please. It wasn’t greed, they wanted just dues. JYJ know their worth. SM did not and still don’t. Or maybe they do and thats why they cut them out. What Im saying is at the end of the day, its about money. JYJ don’t put on hot shows, make music for free and want to live as bums…they need money.
@pinky lee
I for one agree it was mainly about the money. I have never met anyone who worked for a living who didn’t want to get paid. And when one considers how hard SM worked TVXQ and took all the profits, only a fool thinks it’s greedy to want to be compensated. Those years cannot be replaced, but the guys can sure as hell reap the benefits of all the hard work they engage in now.
I don’t give a rodent’s patootie about people continuing to call the members of JYJ greedy. In the SK entertainment industry the poster boy for greed is LSM. This bloodsucking viper has made himself a millionaire worth over $100M USD. He made all that money off the blood, sweat, and tears of all the artists whose bank accounts never reflected what they truly earned. It all went into his deep pockets.
Yes, the guys also had dreams of using their desire to create and be respected for those creations. Being appreciated and validated are human needs. Well, now they are able to fulfill those desires.
To the people who replied me, thanks for replying. I din’t really expect a 15 year old opinion could have such replies ^.^~ I thought it was just another random ranting that people will just ignore, if it does not bother you guys, can I follow you on twitter if you have one though. I’m happy to know theres nice people like you guys, huhu ^.^ ~
@Teddy Bear23
Hi sweetie, & welcome to JYJ3. 🙂 We have fans with a huge range of ages in here, from 14 to 60’s & older, so please don’t let your age hold you back from commenting or voicing an opinion.
@Teddy Bear23
Age is just a number, dear one. It’s the heart and the spirit that counts. Ok, having a good working brain doesn’t hurt either. 😉 That’s the beauty part about this being a family here, we come in all shapes, sizes, and ages.
Yes all shapes and yes round is a shape smile…
I have to become serious about getting back into the swing of exercising again. My ’roundness’ is not going anywhere on its own without it. 😀
Ok lets start I am walking so less start small at first I am up to 40 min a day in walking to build up my stamina and slowly adding weights lets encourage one another and hopefully others would join us… Lets turn O into a very encourage symbol…
@grey fox
YOU GOT IT! I will begin with my line dancing videos. Then I will start going to the health club that I’m paying $10/mo. for. ^_____^
I really like all the responses given here to Teddy Bear23. Very diplomatic. I don’t have much to add here so sorry about that but I do have a question. Remember when we had a somewhat official “Learn Korean (so we can marry JYJ…)” thing going on? Well how about reviving that again?
It is a seriously miserable and lonely experience trying to learn the language alone. I’ve found a wealth of Korean material but I can’t read any of it….
girlllllll ..how many languages are learning/speaking now ?
I use to know quite a bit of Japanese back in university but it’s completely gone now T^T
now I only speak 2 languages …and to be honest ..I love JYJ but don’t have any interest in learning Korean .
ooooo learning korean would be cool then i wouldnt have to rely on subs etc 😀 im game x
I figure learn what is important…Courtesy, food and money. Everything else should fall in to place. Besides no matter where you go in the world or culture, I can honestly say that nobody likes rude, starving and broke people. Having one trait will get you ignored, but having all three will get you kicked or worse~*
@pinky lee
LOL! I would be lost in Seoul under two seconds flat; money or no money. Certainly there are many kind and helpful people but I figure that if I should visit Korea just to tour a while that I will follow an itinerary instead. I see all the planned stops and read a translated pamphlet and then go home because frankly unless you know the language you will never experience the culture. I am genuinely interested in Korean culture hence I want to learn the language.
totally understand…I honestly want you to have many great experiences and memories. Wish I knew korean ~*
That is why I am saving up so the next JYJ concert I am there would love to hang with sisters from all of the world so we can represent a world wild concert where ever it may be… Let them know we will travel for the things we love and we love JYJ
i think they sound cute in their native language..love their voices too. i just want to understand on my own.
i would get lost so easily in korea whether i have money or not. even if i spoke korean because i have no sense of direction…so bad its embarrassing i have to admit
I want to learn Korean for many reasons. JYJ certainly is one of them but there are many other things I want to understand on my own. If I wanted to just visit Korea for a summer or something I would only bother with the basics but I want more than that.
@meme & JYJ
I speak 3 languages including Spanish/Portuguese. I want to learn a language outside of the Roman system. My father speaks a bit of Russian and Polish but I want to learn an Asian language. Japanese culture is very interesting and no need to detail all the advantages in learning Putonghua or Cantonese not to mention the wealth of languages in South West/East Asia but I’m very besotted with learning Korean.
Anyways if anyone is interested I have material I’ve found in New York City (Queens) where there is a fairly large and vibrant Korean community. We would just need to have a good schedule.
awesome idea! Would we learn to talk Korean or read Korean?
@retrokim
Is this material online?
I want to learn Korean too. I’m waiting for my local community college’s new semester to start to see if they have any Korean language courses on offer. I’ve checked out stuff on the internet, but I’m a bit daunted by it. I want to learn Chinese as well. I love a lot of Chinese & Korean films & it would be awesome if I could watch them without having to decide between reading the subtitles & missing the action or watching the action & missing what’s being said!
I do miss Seoberin’s way of Hangul teaching mode…
i live in puerto rico…but yes it would be great to learn korean too. i would love to understand what jyj speaks on my own too
Wow! Just saw Psy on TV talk show “Kelly and Michael”! He showed co-hosts how to do the “Gentleman” dance! Psy has become a big sensation in the U.S. Amazing! I think he’s the first Korean to accomplish this in America! He said Psy is short for “psycho”! lol! I think Psy is worldwide now!
but no one takes him seriously as a musician .
being famous isn’t everything for a lot of artists … many don’t want to be known like that ( the funny Asian with the catchy song ) but I notice that Koreans both public and celebs think his fame in the US is in a good way …which surprised me .
anyway ..Gentleman is as expected ..very disappointing in general.
But he is extremely popular in the U.S.–probably the first Korean musician to reach mega stardom in the music world here. His video “Gentleman” is prompting 38 million views a day on YouTube. I have never seen a Korean reach such popular and widespread status in the U. S.He is a phenomenon–and I hope he will be able to open the door for others.
Psy is wreaking havoc in America. God bless him. Never seen anything like this from a Korean entertainer. He’sa game changer.
Maybe what JYJ needs a gimmick….if Junsu comes up with the duck dance, they will be taken seriously in South Korea.
No disrepect to the Psy fans, but that dance is old and unoriginal…but hey it works~*
OK ..I was watching that entertainment weekly thing on KBS ( I don’t usually watch anything on KBS any more but) because I saw they were going to interview Song Ji-hyo for her new KBS drama ..and well they asked about her about her previous co-stars , I’m not sure abut the Q&A because I wasn’t paying attention (lol) …so Jaejoong’s picture pops in with the others and would you believe they used a new picture of him .
anyone watching ” Mandate of Heaven ” ? …is it any good ?
I’m currently watching you’re the best with IU & Jo Jung-seok . and though it’s one of those very predictable cheesy romance dramas .. I’m actually enjoying it and I have no idea why .
seriously, we miss jyj. Would it be like this when jyj are enlisting in the army? But hey i read about se7en enlisting as celebrity army, and he will be serving his duty in i guess much lighter way than casual army. Se7en will be hosting army’s radio station and maybe doing public relation regarding army.
In public eyes, it is more honorable if a celebrity enlist quietly as casual army, just like hyun bin and yoo seung ho. But, if, this will probably the only rare opportunity for jyj to be involved in broadcast, would you prefer jyj to enlist as celebrity army? What’s your opinion?
Are you heard something for enlist to military? But i think yoochun will not good ‘caz of his asthma.
If they enter, i miss all three.
chunnie should do the celebrity army because of his asma. i don’t know how tough the military would be knowing that it’s a celebrity though???? i would leave it up to them to decide.
the whole enlisting thing is a very serious thing to Koreans …and as we know it could become a positive or negative impact on a man’s image/reputation in Korea .
being a celebrity soldier isn’t a good choice anymore because of all the bad press it’s getting.
they’re going to enlist that’s a given , so it would be better for them to go all out and be active soldiers or even the marines ( they’d love them for that ) .
it’s not worth the hate and all they would get as celebrity soldiers to just have them do a little radio or army plays . it’s best they use the time they’re away to come back with a respectable image.
having their fans is great but gaining the public favor is also a must for a longer future in the entertainment businesses. ( idols are not going to be around for long ).
I don’t know if yoochun can do that though …and I don’t want him pushing himself to please others .
@lovesongeighty6
…” would you prefer jyj to enlist as celebrity army? What’s your opinion?”
TBH, it really doesn’t matter what I want. This is an obligation SK males of decent health must perform. I expect whatever service the members of JYJ will be asked to join, and the duty they perform will be fine. I simply want them to go, serve, and come back ready to pick up their lives where they left off.
It’s probably a given that Yoochun is not going to serve active duty with his asthma. He will more than likely get a non-active assignment. If they go in one at a time, there will be a rotating gap. If they go in together, and come out together, all done and over with. But that is a wait and see proposition.
Someone addressed the issue of how difficult the wait will be without them around. Sometimes I wonder if people assume life has to stop. Why not approach the upcoming event is a positive way instead of a negative one.
There are all kinds of things for fans to engage themselves in to pass the time. Even if there isn’t much news, there are activities and projects that could occupy peoples’ time. Time goes by rather swiftly when one is doing something. I’m hoping that we realize a lot can be done productively. So let’s put on our thinking caps and see what we can come up with. 😉
Here here let’s show them love is forever letters gifts stuff to keep them smiling and laughing.
great idea….maybe funny pics of their fans
to have more videos created by fans as well as artwork…do charities as a fan club is always good and full of beautiful positive energy.continue to promote all they have produced,etc. anyone has any more ideas???join in
Do you know this poll?

Please vote for JJ
jaejoonie and sukkie thats kinda odd combination…how did they meet? for some reason i can’t see them hanging out.they are like so opposite. strange
don’t they have to enlist before they become 30 years old?how old is chunnie and junsu? jaejoonie is 28 already
Yoochun will be turning 28 (korean) on June 04 and Junsu on Dec. 15..
i don’t think that they would enlist at the same time… i would think they would do it one at a time so the fans won’t forget jyj that easily
I’m pretty sure that Chunface will be doing civil service instead of the army. I read that he has had several army physicals and his asthma is just too bad. Excuse me if I’m wrong about this.
excuse me for these thoughts , am kind of depressed
i thought after the impulsive tokyo dome somethings going to be change . like apperances on tv,, new albums ,, wide package tours and as such .. its already summer and still no albums , no new news .. and what about the grand expo again? . Didnt they , if things got better in japan , should resort to tour instead ? i hope before the frenzied tokyo dome feeling died down , i hope some bigger news comes. and it should be sooner . the time will not wait . and so is the crowd .
i hate the feeling that everything these guys hard work all will be just branded as history misplaced somewhere .
i hate that .
I thought things wouldn’t change for the better that easy or that quick because I didn’t see that Japanese news or TV covered the Tokyo dome concerts that much …and the Japanese partner hasn’t been announced yet .
so I figured it’s going to take some time for everything to be clear to us .
@ annaiyafye
Ok, out with the depressing thoughts. First off, it’s still SPRING. Summer isn’t due until the third week in JUNE. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. 🙂
The Tokyo Dome concert series was a fabulous event. To be real, until the Japanese court decision was handed down, this was probably not in the works. So, it all comes down to whipped cream with a cherry on top. I’m sure in due time that will be more action forthcoming in Japan.
But the guys are currently working on their next album release. They have already mentioned this. One thing at a time. I’m sure when they are ready to make their full foray into Japan, all the necessary ducks will be lined up.
any new production(music) would be great and i would definitely be looking forward to that

I’m JYJ new fan …..follow me on twitter .. i will follow you back ! promise !
Junsu’s OST will be released today! If you have twitter, please show your support by trending #XIA_FoolishHeart_바보가슴 from now (10am KST) to 2pm KST!
did anyone see Jang Geun Suk new song ” nature boy ” ?
…………what is that ? seriously ….what ?
please tell me he doesn’t make his own music and the whole MV wasn’t his idea ( so I can blame someone else for all the terrible offensive nonsense that was going on) I know some where hoping ponycanyon would handle JYJ in Japan but …really now .
Just say nice beat….
Jang Geun Suk owes me big for watching that video……somebody please tap nature boy out~*
you know what would be good right now ? ….. if that ” till the sun rise ” MV finally got released .
I’m beginning to think we’re never gonna see it …..
i so agree with you…dying to see that one
I want the full MV too. There’s only so many times I can watch the teaser without wailing that I want more of Jaejoongie! 😉
I can tell just from the teaser that it’s cheesy as hell but we’ll love it anyway .
JJ the cool DJ falling for the cheerful nice girl …… yep
“I can tell just from the teaser that it’s cheesy as hell but we’ll love it anyway .”
Oh yeah, bring on the cheese!! 😀 (& hopefully some makeout scenes too.)
my niece is 13 and is crazy over jyj, specially jaejoonie…jaejoonie craze he has me on fb to make sure she gets every pic or video from jyj or jaejoonie.
Watching the Billboard 2013 Music Awards–Psy won “Best Streaming Video” award and was nominated for “Best Rap Song”! (Huh)? Anyway, he is making the rounds of American TV talk shows again–amazing what he has been able to accomplish in America.
Hi guys..I’ve seen pics. of Chunnie in other site from Shanghai to Gimpo Airport…anybody know why his been there? For a show or a vacation?just curious??????
It’s rumored it was a vacation but he was pictured meeting some business men types at a club, and he was only there for a couple days, I’m hoping it was for business. Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to be vacation since it was such a short time and he had just recently returned from vacation with his family.
thanks for the info..hope it will be a business so that chunnie will invade china too as well as the jyj members.
gimpo airport??? have no idea but if anyone knows let us know…maybe vacation
there’s rumours circulates out there saying JYJ gonna be in line up guests for upcoming M!net countdown 3rd July 2013. Is it true?
could anybody enlighten me
Mnet is back to being friends with SM ( like all the media and TV stations) so I doubt it .
JYJ will come back when they are good and ready…
😉
once in a while thjey need to take out time for themselves…we must remember they do work hard. so taking a vacation is also good, besides jaejoonie is gaining weight and taking better care of his health
@carmen janet
🙂 I miss them badly at times like this, but I love knowing they are getting the chance to really live & enjoy their lives now rather than working 24/7.
Junsu’s ost Foolish Heart is now available on iTunes, pls support him!
Yay! Runs off to buy it!
Thanks! I’ve been waiting for it to pop up there!
They say a gorilla named Gerhard is copying Psy’s gangnam style moves on mailonline.com! They even have pictures! lol! This is too funny!
In the past two weeks, Psy has been on nearly every major American entertainment show–including Good Morning America, the Today Show, Dancing With the Stars and American Idol. I don’t think this has ever been accomplished by a Korean entertainer. Psy has taken America by storm!
I am loving how addictive K-Pop has become. 🙂 I have been a fan for….well….forever, and I am slowly introducing it to some good friends and one of them has become a Junsu, so cute. She normally is pretty reserved but when I showed her the clip of him playing Tod in Elizabeth, HAHA she was hooked. I then showed her a photo of all three of them, she was astonished on how men could be that attractive. A few weeks later she bought their Beginning album.
These guys are awesome. 🙂 Just thought I share 🙂
my niece and her friends are into k-pop now but mostly the new groups ….and well ..she found out about me liking it before and still knowing about it and all that ….so now she won’t leave me alone .
she has a new ” omg so hot ” thing ever week and I have to sit through the whole thing .
LOL HAHA that is so great!! :o)
