The ‘Kim Jae-joong Farewell Tour’
JYJ member Kim Jae-joong has a headache.
According to sources, various local travel agencies have been selling illegal ‘Kim Jae-joong Farewell Tour’ packages to fans which takes place during March 30th to April 1st. The package includes going to see the artist entering base on the 31st of March and visiting a few of his relevant places.
However, this is an exaggerated sales gimmick using Kim’s admittance to the army. Sources say, “The cost of the package alone is quite high and it’s been gathering fans with the concept of saying goodbye to Kim Jae-joong. There are several more alike. The biggest problem is, if fans don’t get to see Kim Jae-joong, he might be the one to take the blame at the end of the day. The travel agencies of the matter have been notifying that ‘plans are subject to change’ but the location where Kim Jae-joong will be hasn’t been put up yet.
Kim Jae-joong‘s agency said, “If too many people gather at the base that day, it could be a nuisance to other people. Kim Jae-joong wants to do this quietly. We have been notifying fans of this fraud on our websites and such ever since we found out about the fake packages”.
Kim Jae-joong on the other hand, is giving out fan service until two days before his admittance. He was in Japan for the “Triangle – Drama” promotion on the 24th last month and he’ll have his final fan meeting “2015 Kim Jae-joong Concert In Seoul – The Beginning of The End” on the 28th~29th.

[NEWS] Jaejoong warns Japanese fans against ‘farewell’ tour packages via Korea Herald
i know that fans want to directly bid goodbye on the spot to JJ. but let’s always remember to not jump on the lure of fraud from irresponsible party that wants nothing but just to take advantage of the situation.
If I were to live in Korea, I’d want to send him off too. I know what the fans feels. Just be careful, you all.
Truly headache its just for my idol…….everyone wants to see the ever gorgeous idol and saying farewell to our only one idol!!!!!! Jaejoong i really miss you too…take care always and be strong in your duty….still waiting!!!!! forever.
People let him enlist quietly ok. I wonder if they know that they are the source of jaejoong might being bashed by knetz .-.
That is a shame!!!!! Some people always have to take advantage of people. I understand that any fan would want to see him off but they need to be extremely cautious. I hope JJ get to enlist the way he wants without any trouble.
I get fans want to say farewell to Jae and send him letters and stuff but he is right… It’s best to do this quietly. Knetizens always bash idols and actors who make a big deal of their enlistment. They always tell them to just go quietly.
Besides it’s a known fact a lot of bullying takes place in the Korean army. I get that Jae doesn’t want to come across as some wimpy idol to his fellow soldiers. He’s gonna be older than most of them and he’s gonna have to take orders from these younger kids. The last thing he needs is to not be taken seriously. Some of these younger soldiers might abuse their power just to say look you may be an idol who has 1000’s of girls loving you but here you are nothing… I wish some fans would understand this. I have seen some post where they were upset cuz Jae said don’t sent letters. It’s not cuz he doesn’t love his fans or whatever.
The best thing we can do for Jae now is to let him go quietly, serve and come back. Let’s not create situations that might possibly cause other soldiers to be annoyed at Jae or make him look weak….
Let him enlist in peace, please! Thousands of fans thronging the base might upset other enlistees or even the army personnel which might further trouble Jae in the army.
Please let him enlist quietly as he wishes and also please don’t send him letters as he asked, we all want to send jaejoong off (ifans love jae as much as koeans too ) but think about it let’s just don’t make things harder for him, Korean army is full of bullies, maybe some are already waiting for jae (haters and jealous people are everywhere) let’s not put him in a situation that will create for him problems from 1st day.
My biggest fear is the bullying that Jae may have to take in the army. If it is just a guy-to-guy fist fight, I have no worries – Jae can take on any one of them. But it will be those soldiers, outranking him even just by one rank, who, with their inferiority complexes will descend upon him, and command him to do humiliating menial things, just to show him, that you may be so and so, but here I am the boss.
So, I can imagine, if crowds of crying girls mob the entrance to the barracks when he arrives, while others have nobody crying for them as they enlist, it will be not only the old soldiers but even the new enlistees that will be envious and will make sure to frustrate him.
In my opinion, the best thing we can do for him, if we truly love him, is to give the least reasons for the other soldiers’ hatred and just continue buying his CDs and DVDs and go to Moldir and J-holic and Bum’s. This will tell Jaejoong we still think of him, remember him and love him.
Thanks to media for exposing this money hungry travel agencies, even with that Gangnam Festival last year, there was attempt (side eyeing Cjes, lol) But now Cjes can’t help but issue a press release, wonder if the travel agency close to it hasn’t have one.
