Hallo, there big eyes, handsome. It’s not only the day that’s long, the night is long, too if you are filming till 3.00 a m.But why does it seem to me that those big eyes are not just tired, but sad, too. And I love that pullover, it’s so chique.
When I see him looking like this, I cannot help thinking that when JJ goes to the army both soldiers and officers will be bullying him, just because he is an idol and they will take it for granted that he is a spoilt brat. Then I try to console myself that with his personal magnetism, ability to relate to people of all kinds, to be a spunky dork and a troll, Jaejoong will soon get under their skin, and the bullying will soon stop and JJ will become the social butterfly of the baracks.
@ Cheryl Yes, I know .. but still can’t stop worrying over him. Yet I have told myself so many times, Jaejoong always knows what to do and how to do it.
I think, probably it boils down to my rage that 2 years of his life will be lost doing things that he wasn’t born to do.
Oh anna-liza, I know! I hate that he has to go do this. It makes no sense to me.
But I bet he will be proud and happy to serve his country.
I’m trying to look at it the way I think he does; that he loves Korea and wants to serve honorably and with pride.
I try to ignore the negative voice, that murmurs in my ear about how unfairly SK has treated him, how their media were content to go along with SM and tried so hard and with so little success to suppress him and kill his career. Because, even though those people (media and SME) don’t deserve him, they aren’t all of SK. No matter what they have thrown at him, he still rises above them and does the right and best thing.
@cheryl Thanks once again for sharing with me, and no, it’s not a dissertation style, it’s just reflection on our apprehensions and doubts. I know, after the initial bullying he will be well able to show them that won’t work, that he is the man in charge. I know he is not afraid of hard work and will do very well, but .it is “that negative voice that murmers in my ear”, too and I ask myself “for what?”
It’s a jumble of very mixed feelings I have, like I am thinking, he can easily go to Japan and continue his growth in music and as an actor. But at the very moment I am thinking of this, I also know that he will not do such a thing, and I feel like a traitor, like I have doubts in his integrity of character and loyalty to his country. But I have no doubts in him, it’s only this hopeless situation where young talented men have no choice and have to go to the army and some will most certainly enjoy and may be he will, too, but yet, I cannot help thinking that he can do much more for his country out of rather than inside the barracks. Why are we so much divided that we have to face such situations? If Korea was one country, then MS wouldn’t be compulsory, BTW I only know of the two Koreas and Israel which have compulsary enlistment, is there any other country?
Sorry, I am rambling, but just looking at that face in the picture above makes me feel melancholic and … useless. Mianhe, I need to wallow a bit more in my misery, then, hopefully, on Friday when I watch SPY, I will perk up and cheer up.
One thing that I never worry about is how JJ will survive the enlishment and the harsh condition in the military. After what he’s gone through, a mere bullying is just a piece of cake, a kids game. This guy, even though he looks delicate, is a fierce warrior. A soldier with courage and bravery far beyond many men.
He left his hometown and family when he was just a young kid, to fight for his dream. This child lived by himself, with very little money, in a big scarry city and had to struggle on the street to survive. I bet he became street smart during this time.
And when his dream came true and he became famous, he didn’t hesitate to leave all the glamour and security to stand up for what he beleives, to fight for justice. He knew he faced an evil force, an unbeatable foe. He knew he will be hunted, crushed, sabotaged, yet he stood tall and proud, never step back, never back down. In the world where his enemy is the ultimate ruler, people saw what he did as simply suicide. But he proved them wrong, not only he survived, he came out victorious.
JJ is no spoilt rich kid. He never lives a sheltered life. His life is full of hardship. But he seldom shows it to the world. Most of the time we only see the goofy side of him, the dork side, the adorable mess of a man. That what makes him even more special.
Jaejoong is a warrior, a very courageous and brave soldier. if there’s one thing that confort me about his enlistment, is because I’m sure he will go through it nice and sound.
(I always think JJ could be very scarry when he’s mad and that he’s not afraid to use his fists when needed. He’s street wise and even though he’s slim, he’s strong – look at those arms! I like to imagine some of the military guys will be foolled by this cute little angel. They see him as a weak spoilt rich brat with pretty face and try to bully him. Then got the shock of his life when JJ punch them to the ground in no time lol)
Indeed … why do I feel tears rolling down not from my eyes … but deep down inside my heart… but I know JJ will survive and will be loved by his fellows army, after all he is a fighter.
I always think Jaejoong is like a deadly steel sword in a beautiful velvet scabbard with delicate motifs and pretty gems. Most people only see the pretty scabbard, admiring how beautiful and delicate it is. The forget the steel sword inside ^__^
I think the only chance he can be bullied is during training period by his seniors. But I’m sure he’s well prepared for that and has already some strategies to woe the bully seniors. To his batchmate he’s the “Hyung” , look at those arms 😀
That skinny Jaejoong has amazing physical fitness. He’s no stranger to rigorous physical training. He’s a gym, cycling and treadmill maniac. No wonder he could sing rock songs in a solo concert two hours nonstop without ever loosing his breath. I think his seniors and friends will be awed by his endurance during training ^__^
Yes, you are right, he is like a marathon runner, they are skinny but muscular. That’s why I have never liked it when fans have been insisting that he should eat more and put more weight. What’s more important is that he is so strong and it’s not as if he doesn’t eat, it’s because he is physically very active that he remains skinny but strong and healthy.
Hello Jaejoongie, miss you a lot in TL …
As you said “The joy of filling it up again with good things should come”
Yes, keep it coming Boss ❤ , we will shower every post with ˙❤‿❤░L░O░V░E░ ♫• 💚
@ Cheryl, @ fineday500 @momnot, @heheh and @ Kris
Thank you all for your comments and words of encouragement. Yes, I know Jaejoong is an extremely strong person. I know how much he went through as an adolescent and how easily it would have been for him to take the wrong turn on the path pursuing his dream. After all, he was on his own at the most vulnerable and difficult phase of a teenager, but he didn’t fall into the clutches of the wrong people. Probably this is why I respect him the most, not as an idol but as a vulnerable person who started at the bottom and build himself up the hard way, becoming so sophisticated and successful as if he was born under privileged circumstances.
I well remember those arm wrestling bouts and how no one could defeat him. He would play around at first, then would smile brightly and pin down the hand of his opponent. It cheers me up to imagine doing this to the bullies in the army who do not know his strength.
But I still have a heavy heart, because his career was brought almost to a halt once and now it comes to another halt and after two years he will have to start all over again, why so much struggle for a person who is so deserving of better?.
But that’s not what Jaejoong needs to hear now, so I will pull myself together and tell him how proud I am of him for his integrity of character and loyalty to his country, that I will continue listening every day to his music and watching his films which I am keeping safely, that I hope his manager will be releasing one by one DVDs of his recent concerts and J-parties and that, together with all the rest of his fans, I shall wait till he serves his duty and is back with us again.
Thanks once again, for lending me a shoulder to cry on.
Handsome 😍😍😍😍

I think everyone will grow to love him. he is so nice and so genuine, how can they help it?

because thoose eyes seem to be looking straight into your soul and pleading for understanding .. of what?
Oooh I wouldn’t worry about that. He might look soft on the outside, but nope. He won’t be the subject to be bullied.
I actually imagine he’ll be the go-to guy.
He might be among the oldest in his batch. So he’ll be pampering everyone instead.
I always think Jaejoong is like a deadly steel sword in a beautiful velvet scabbard with delicate motifs and pretty gems. Most people only see the pretty scabbard, admiring how beautiful and delicate it is. The forget the steel sword inside ^__^
