Oh! Ugh Oh! Forgive me, I am not myself today. Love Jaejoong very much. But honestly, I do not know what to think and feel now.
Same here. I’m speechless, but proud of him because he attends as a singer ♥♥♥♥♥
thanks to jyj3 in translating articles like this…then like like to get news of jyj from this website. i think you translated the articel quite right in a way that you did not especially change anything, but omitted the things which arent important to us.
those who are complaining about what is translated and which pictures are used, should be thankful that jyj3 translated this original news article for us. we are all grown up here and i appreciate that jyj3 always tries to give is the translations and news as authentic and original as the articel allows it. thanks.
and i didn’t attend to reply to you @lexy cheng sy… i just wanted to post a comment..seems like i pressed the wrong button. message wasn’t in reply to your comment. just wanted to add this, so there is no misunderstanding
I agree with you 100%. We are grown men and women, not a pitch mob. I’m just so hyped for Jaejoong!!!! God I loved his last performance. Maybe he can steal some of those cute band members after their discharge and start a real rock band??? JYJ will always be 1st priority of course. 😍😍😍😍
I guess it’s another response to you “K”
I’m not K. Are you embarrassed because of my response?? You can check with the admin and she will confirm I am not K. You need to stop thinking that every JYJ fan thinks the same as you.
Or is it to tali? *sigh*
who said you are “K” chill out !
I meant it’s another response for “k” the person who said JYJ3 should omitt headline and I don’t know what
I’m speechless but actually very very happy
Thank you for posting the news as they are without editing them out ^^
We’re all adults here, there’s no need 🙂 *thumbs up*
Great! we wait to see you singe again.
Why. O why?
true entertainer…!!! Singer Kim Jaejoong attends as a singer!!!
Kim Jaejoong as singer ♥
Of course JJ’s gonna sing in this festival. He IS the best vocalist the army has right now. Period. (I was secretly hoping for a Melody and Harmony duet but it’s okay, Chun’s probably just started adjusting to his new job.)
yes i agree, JJ is the best vocalist. Maybe Chunnie didn’t have the chance to audition for this event since he just enlisted recently. I think the army conducted the audition prior to Chunnie’s enlistment, i’m not sure though.
chunnie didn’t join the military band yet and it is said that he can’t because he is public service but I’m not sure 😦
I think he can’t be in the Army band, because he is not in the Army?
yes that’s what I heard too public service is not under Army but something else (I forgot the name >_< )
Yes, fly high my pretty butterfly. So excited for the fancams.. All the best for our PFC Kim Jaejoong.
I’m very happy for Jaejoong to be given a stage to sing while in military service.
Congratulations JJ, you’re recognized for your vocal, without much media play, thus you will be in GFF TO SING !
their media play that ended with unconfirming JJ’s presence was just because someone joined at the last moment for MC ?! lol I’m proud of jaejoong everything he achieved untill now was and is thanks to his talent.
if only admin omitted unrelated picture too.
and unrelated name to JYJ, lol
— DELETED BY ADMIN —
One of JYJ3 rules is not to bash other readers on the site
“Please grow up. ”
Look at the mirror and say that to yourself, why even bother meddling on how other people view other people.
JYJfan and Kris, I feel the same way. I am so so tired of this unrelated person, and the shipping of him and Jae and the endless speculation in other parts of the fandom. I would be happy to never have to hear this person’s name connected with Jae again.
I’m with you, Cheryl. I’d love to never see or hear another word about him. I can only imagine the nonsensical crap going on elsewhere.
It’s one of Jae’s misfortune in life to be connected with that person years ago through the very cheap marketing strategy of SM and all those people who are still living in fantasy with pse’d and fanfics, do they even realize it’s already 2015?
Yes, it is very sad what SM did to promote TVXQ and it has resulted in what could be considered slander. Doubly sad that it has persisted for so many years. What great pain this has caused Jae Joong. Wish all that shipping junk could be removed from the Internet. What trash!
Are that person’s tentacles so far reaching that they managed to create a last minute something to show that he, too, is a somebody? So proud of JJ who went in following proper auditions and riding on his talent and unmatched vocals. But the message is loud and clear – JJ was the LEAD vocals and still is the vocals.
That person you are talking about was scheduled to go to the HQ and train more than a month ago….and he alao passed all the neccesary auditions. You may not like him but please don’t make false and inaccurate assumptions. Stay respectful like how JJ would want us to ^^
Train more than a month ago? Are you kidding??? As far as I know this unrelated person was still in Yangju (where his division is located) for a festival two weeks ago.
lol necessary auditions passed more than month ago and revealed JJ was the only idol chosen among the 6 people chosen, media play about that person started just a week ago not a month ago.
@kaka lol that’s true some people are really trying hard
Well, your information need to reconfirm again. Im sure with you its not ” more than a month ago” and im sure with you the one who pass all audition is jj. That SM company and its pet dog dispatch news brainwash people. Im so annoyed that the unrelate person’ fans are those that make false and inaccurate assumption and make people beleive that he has done all the hard work 😒😑
kekeke, what auditions” As a singer or as a dancer? or as a what?
@ kaka, jaechnsu
Please read my comment carefully again and DO NOT twist my words. I didn’t say he trained for more than one month, I said he was SCHEDULED to go to the HQ before more than one month ago. I know because a soldier (his identity is verified) already posted about the information back then, which I’m not sure if you all know about. Just check Twitter if you can’t find it.
And @Hana No lol, I don’t rely on Dispatch for my dose of JYJ news. Why would anyone…?
@anna FYI: They have auditions for singing, instrument, dancing AND/OR emceeing. They have to pass the necessary auditions in order to take part in the festival. I don’t know how they are rated or judged during the auditions itself, but I’m sure ROKA has their own set of judging and allocation system since this is not the first GFF they have organized.
I know many of you don’t like this person, but please at least be more level-headed or objective while dealing with articles, sources or even comments to avoid double standards. If that person joining “at the last minute” is being unfair, then what about Yoochun, who only trained for 1+ year, debuting together with Junsu who trained for 6 whole years? I’m very sure JJ, YC and JS want us to be respectful towards other fandoms, so why can’t we all be the type of fans that they can be proud of? I’m a JYJ fan (same as all of you) as well, but I simply don’t get all the hate and why so many of you dislike the other side. It’s just not healthy and only brings down our fandom reputation.
I think you just contradicted yourself here, also in your first post you were uninformed because auditions passed and he wasn’t chosen. the MC thing we don’t even know if there were auditions for it and this unrelaated person rumors about him joining the event started just last week. so of course when you made comments with wrong statements people will obv correct you.
@ Mary “….and he alao passed all the neccesary auditions” Mary, all I asked you was, “which were all those necessary auditions that he passed, singing, dancing or what?” Please answer my question by listing them.
JJ is a singer, he auditioned as a singer, he was the only idol who passed the singer’s auditions. Your idol is a singer, therefore, it’s logical to think he auditioned as a singer, but it is also known he didn’t pass that audition, or would you now say he didn’t audition in that category, which begs the questiion, why not?
As far as Yoo Chun is concerned, it seems like you do not know that he was already singing when he was in the USA. In 2001 he won the American Singing competition (Virginia) Best artist of the competition. He then passed the SME auditions and In 2003 (before DBSK was formed ) he won the KBN Teens Singing competition Special Award. Jaejoong also didn’t train as long as Junsu, but their teacher/trainer said that JJ was the best student he had ever had. Junsu did not train for 6 years because he needed to but because at the age of puberty his voice took long to break. while Yunho started off as a back up dancer while they were all still training. it looks like he auditioned for the event in dance, and I am saying looks like because of the videos I saw.
Finally, DBSK was the first ever pop group that I came to love and I still listen to their old songs as 5. I do not hate your duo, I am disappointed in them and they have lost my respect. They have done nothing ever since then to earn it back. I also dislike their fans who try to ship together JJ and YH as lovers always to the disadvantage of JJ. I have seen on the internet some disgusting “romance” about the two of them, of which I could not bear to read even the first sentence only. and I hope such people do not go to disturb JJ on his stage. Let them have their lifes as they please. I do not come to your house to preach to you to like JYJ, so let me be and don’t come to mine to tell me who to like. .
I am those who must not be named shipper and even I know what you are saying is bs. That person didn’t audition for anything and was chosen as MC because apparently he is the most ‘influential’ celeb enlisted right now and we all know where that influence comes from. On other note I am glad Jaejoong is confirmed which is only fair since he has been in HQ ‘training’ for more than a month now and has worked hard to earn his part in the ceremony. And though I was disappointed before that they aren’t going to be on same stage now I am just happy seeing that people are so easily persuaded to ignore one person’s hard work and give credit to other person who doesn’t even deserve it in this case. ^^ “Passed all the necessary audions” lol Sources?
@Mary today morning even official facebook page of “Republic of Korea Army” prove you wrong they shared the video of the final audition and only JJ is there the unrelated person isn’t there at all “at the FINAL audition round…..”Passed all the necessary audions” what ..lol but yeah he did passed them in SM and that’s why he’s put as MC.
Kindly don’t drag Yoochun’s name into this, he did nothing wrong. If you are JYJ’s fan, why would you support the media play of an entertainment company who sank as low as using events meant to promote the whole country for “teaching renegades a lesson”? The smear campaign against JJ and YC in the media is evident here.
The remaining members of TVXQ made it clear long ago they did not want to be related to JYJ. So why put them together now? May everyone mind their own business.
Whatever it is, im very happy for those two. Idk if its a certain companys doing but still, they BOTH deserve being in the spotlight.
please don’t compare JJ who passed it all through thanks to his hard work with someone who used his celebrity card and say they “both deserve”, if he deserved like JJ then he should have walked the same path JJ and the other soldiers walked, when he didn’t don’t even dare to compare that person with JJ
He doesn’t deserve it at all if he didn’t audition and follow the official procedure. That is corrupted behavior but something we can expect from that person or at least his company.
WHY?
omg.. Jaejoongie im so glad that i will hear news from you very soon. Really misses your voice and please just stay in your bandmates or just don’t roam around much
(.. MC.. cough). I want you to have a peaceful life in the army. I hated media play rumors just incase..
Just enjoy your performace well my JJ..😃.. fighting!
Yes,I agree with you. JJ don’t roam around – your superiors and your devoted fans do not want you to be hurt unnecessarily.
Now I know what the P R meant by that remark.
Today is Yuchun’s first official day at the office isn’t it? ……after the long Chuseok holiday.
Why do I have the feeling that he is glad he’s not involved in this…haha….
Mr Yu wants a quiet enlistment away from the public eye.
I don’t know if he will be involved in any Army events since he is in public service duty…..
but the Gangnam District Office may get him involved in their events
……poor guy….Yu may not happy…but fans will be jumping up and down if they get to see him…haha
Glad Jae will be singing and doing something he loves even when he is in the army.
That reminds me, the Gangnam Festival where JYJ appeared last year is also in October, isn’t it?
Stop doing that I get that you are not fan of all this but can’t we just focus on being happy to be able to see our beloved singer STOP HATING my bias is Jaejoong and i’m sure he will not like it if you bash other people
I don’t think someone is hating here,I see no hate, everyone has his own point of view and his free to express it… you have to accept the reality that not everyone think the same way as yours.
I don’t think that you read all the comments and believe me you have no idea how i feel so stop categorizing people
and i know for sure you will not want to know either
I just don ‘ t get why a JYJ fandom is not allowed to hate someone unrelated to JYJ lol
Unrelated? When they used to be in the same group? That’s not unrelated. Stop being childish.
Well their stan thinks they are unrelated so..
They are unrelated now ^^ It has been what? 6 years? I don’t even remember my random classmates from 6 years ago. Only best friends and we are still in contact ^^
I just don’t get how you can love someone without loving their past that past is a part of why they are here so stop bashing even if it’s the sake of JYJ they never do that it’s always the fans’ problems that destroy their artists
We can hate someone who tries to rewrite the past of someone that we love. Come back here talking about past and stuff when they stop editing videos and pics, books to show that the past never happened. Then someone will take you seriously.
Not a negative comment just curious, I thought JYJ3 only report JYJ news those non-jyj esp tvxq related news will be omitted?
they are omitted, “Admin’s note: Parts and sentences unrelated to Kim Jaejoong,Park Yuchun, or JYJ were omitted.” I think you need glasses ..not a negative comment just an advice
But headline and one of those photos still have someone’s name and pic
Well its the artical title. Jyj3 has the right to omitted rhe title or not? I dont know. But ithink im sure with you that jyj3 And us reader very GLAD to omitted unrelated name in the title if we can 😁. And for me i dont even want to read unrealted name also
ooh so you think part of proper translation is to change the headline ? or change the picture used by the original website withtheir tag on it ? Do you want JYJ3 to come out with their own headline for someone else news article ? proper translation has rules, paragraphs that are not related to JYJ were omitted and that’s what JYJ3 can do without bringing harm to the blog or the original article. please refrain yourself from acting stupid.
So they are supposed to wrongly translate headline? That’s not translating, that’s censorship.
I think they did the right thing. They translated the title as it is, they added the main photo as it is, and they omitted unraleted information. That is exactly as they ALWAYS do, so why would this time be any different? This is not jyj3.net’s opinion, or editorial or something. This is a translation and I appreciate them doing their job right.
Thanks Hana for your understanding. That’s exactly how I feel not trolling as someone thought.
To Hana and Yoona,
Thanks for your information. From a cellphone, there’s no clear difference which is article headline or headline from the article being translated. It’s so missing leading in the layout that two headlines appeared with the second one mentioning someone unrelated. Same as the photo that doesn’t showed as feature photo of a piece of translated article.
Don’t know why just a normal and genuine enquiry would trigger some negative responses. Thank you for both of your kind supplementing responses.
Anyway, so happy to see Jae on live again!
There was 2 paragraphs I didn’t translate. The 2 times that that name shows up here, it is in the same sentence with Jaejoong’s name. As willing as I can choose to fully be, it would also go against the credibility of my translation of this article overall –to outsiders and those who like to say JYJ3 site is so greatly biased for JYJ that the translation is skewed– if I did omit the 2 mentions of his name where it shows up.
Thank you Rilanna for all your hardwork please ignore the trolls it’s not hard to figure them out. Sincerely thank you for all your hard work without you and all JYJ3 team JYJ fans would have been lost.
Please. You started with the “glasses comment” and you keep going…you jumped to conclusions. She genuinely wanted to know why the article had Yunho’s name in it. To me it is clear. Jaejoong’s full name is in the same sentence with Yunho’s full name so it would have been awkward (not to mention childish) to omit it. Same for the photo. You can’t just jump on people like that for having a question. You give a bad impression and we don’t need more of that.
Rplans, thank you for your sensible and clear explanation. For past years I know admins including you are trying every best effort to keep the rules. That’s why I trust you would understand our queries are out of no anti feeling. And that’s why I feel comfortable to ask you the question.
Support you and thanks again for your quick reply.
Should be *Rilanna, apple’s auto correct is tiring.
I didn’t put his name in the main title of the overall header because it’s what will be tweeted when I publish the post; and also I thought of how this post will be used for future references (if someone went back to look for it a week, a month or more from now).
But to be as respectful to the original Korean article, I put the full title of it in the beginning of the post. Please note that I’ve done this before for past posts I’ve made –may it be due to the title being too long or a title from a Kpop English site (i.e. Hancinema) that has not a fully-relevant to JYJ.
Tbh, I didn’t want to translate or post an article relating to this; because of he who I don’t really want to be mentioned in the site. But then I realize, if I wait and depend on a Kpop English site to do their own post, it might not do Jaejoong (or Yuchun) justice in what they might write.
Anyways, this is my thought flow.
Hmmmm…. so confusing….
Is Yunho a MC for ground force festival or not?
Well…. Whatever….
Jaejoong will definitely representing Korea and show the world how good and how talented he is.
Jaejoong did an awesome job with his performance! That man is just simply amazing. As far as your question about Yunho; yes he is. There are pictures of him standing at the podium on the stage while Jae is singing and going back and forth past it. Also just to mention there are also pictures of the two of them talking and laughing/smiling together. I am not promoting their ship in any way; just stating facts. Also (not directed at you Eunice) if they are able to get along and as JJ himself has said multiple times that JYJ misses the other two then why are people bashing Y? JJ obviously still cares about both his formers members so his fans should respect that and not bash them. I doubt he would want his fans to behave like that. Anyway to what is the most relevant point; Jaejoong was absolutely wonderful in his first round of performances. I felt really giddy and happy for him while watching the fancams! He definitely chose the right path for his career and he is such a sweet and caring person! JJ hwaiting!!!
great to hear the confirmation that our dear jj will sing in the festival^^
Thank you very much JYJ3 Team for posting the title as it is and even including the photos of all of them, and without any comments. Let fans draw their own conclusions. But how else do we show the world who is the most beautiful of them all? As to who is more important – a singer or an MC, should we even question it? There can be a singer without an MC but can there be an MC alone on any stage? and who hires who?
We are so proud of our PFC Kim Jae Joong – he won his spot fair and square, now we just sit back and enjoy his rainbow voice. Enuf said.
HAHAHA your comment cracked me up. we know JJ is going to be MC of his own event originally JJ doesn’t need hire MCs for his events he has all the swag: swag look, personality and VOCALS… remember the last time he performed in army I think JJ is going to do the same thing again 😀
@anna liza
Glad you’re back 🙂 .
“There can be a singer without an MC but can there be an MC alone on any stage? and who hires who?”
But it’s so annoying that most media releases are giving the focus to the mc, selected as being the most relevant celebrity (*rolls eye) while JJ is just a performer, thanks to excellent media play of his company and minions, while JJ has none, he has only his talent and hardwork to back him up.
And thank God, that particular mc will be on different stage, away from JJ’s stage.
@ kris & jaechnsu Thanks for welcoming me back. My first couple of hours I have to myself; was at strange places past two weeks with no internet coverage, glad i am back just in time. 🙂
But to the point. Actually Kris, just the way I love those photos up there coz they clearly show JJ is so much above the other one, I would have loved to see them together on the same stage coz of the devil in me that says, just let them stand side by side for the world to see who is capable of what. Our JJ can be a perfect MC, if he so wished, he dances very well, thank you very much, as to the singing part, one must be deaf not to know the difference if the two challenged each other.
However, I know it will be an awkward situation and I cannot trust those shippers and their wagging tongues, so I am actually relieved they are not going to share a stage.
As to the media, they have compromised themselves so much dancing to the tumes of their paymasters that any person with some brain in their skulls won’t bother to take them too seriously. Verify from reliable sources and use your grey cells. That’s why I do not bother with other blogs.
As to those who will start jumping and writing how i am this ot that to their oppa, I’ll say this: “don’t go to other people’s homes listenening at their doors what they are talking about coz the truth may be a bitter pill to swallow.”
Agree with so much of what you have said, Anna Liza. I was so afraid something like this would happen given UK is who he is and given his popularity. I have to think that perhaps JJ would prefer not engage in a ‘battle of celebrity’. From the reactions of JYJ when they sing the old TVXQ songs there are very deep hurts, but still a very deep affection for what was. I just believe from what I have learned of JJ, YC, and JS any meeting with UK and CM would not contain any animosity. Does anyone know for sure they have not meet each other in these last 5-6 years? Yes, let them stand on the same stage. Each are very talented people. I’m sure each would want to be seen as individuals capable of great performances. I just don’t understand why fans want them to dislike one another or know for a fact they do dislike one another….guess I don’t know the whole story. Why can’t they coexist as talented and accomplished performers in their own right? My bias is JJ so, of course, I’ll think he is the mostest at everything. Can hardly wait for all the fancams and tweets, and anything else we can get. Reckon the UK fans feel the same way.
Hope I have added and not taken away from the discussion….
@anna liza hi i miss reading your comment, it’s good that you’re back.. Super agree with everything that you said. I also have a little devil in me wanting to see them in the same stage. But I know JJ doesn’t have to compete with his former friend just to prove to evryone that he is better because we already know that he is… 🙂
me too..so perfectly said
Agreed. 😀😀
In my opinion, they’re both important. Plus those two are talented. Leaving the past in the past, they both deserve being in the spotlight. Im very happy for them.
Well, at least JJ deserves the spotlight. The other one… not so much. If you don’t earn it, you don’t deserve to have it handed to you.
I think it is good to have the article as it is and as accurate as possible. We are very mature to know the media play that was done to put a MC ahead of a vocalist which is really ridiculous. Anyway loooking forward to jaejoong stage presence.1 million ppl will get to see him sing live,
We know SME and all their media dogs will always cheerlead for their flavor of the month. If Yunho’s fans are happy he is MC and want to believe it is because he is the “most influential artist in the military” why uselessly try to convince them otherwise? We know SME uses dirty tactics so let them believe what they want to believe. If anyone bothers to look up the info they will know that JJ auditioned and got his spot way before anything concerning Yunho came up.
“most influential artist in the military” Who?
I bet the common reaction will be like this 😀
HOW do you do it?! How do you find time to label the 685,022 (plus or minus a few) images you have of Jaejoong so you can pull up the one you need? Was this filed under “Duh…”, “Really?”, or “Give it a Rest”?
Yeah, kris, just as rabi, I have often wondered what filing system you use to be so quick in pulling out precisely the most suitable photo. I know, I have at times appealed to you to supply a photo i can refer to in my mind but not in my files. You are great! 🙂
@Rabi ‘s comment cracks me up , imagine I have a filename “Duh…”, “Really?”, or “Give it a Rest”? 😀
But honestly @Rabi and @anna_liza, I don’t save much of JJ’s photo, I rely on google search and my twitter. I saw that pic on my TL this morning and I’m so amused I kept on smiling and it has found it’s place here 🙂
Kris, I have looked at this picture every time I open this post to see what else has been said. And I just laugh and sigh each time I see it. What a precious puppy!!! Don’t you want to take him home and feed him lots of noodles?
How old do you think he is?
Hello @@Georgia
They said to be in a fandom is to have fun. Real life is a constant struggle, it’s early morning here and seeing that pic again makes me smile, yes, starting the day with a smile …..thanks to that puppy 😀
I’m ending my day here. Today has been quite a posting day! Was afraid something like this would happen if Yunho and Jae Joong found themselves in close proximity to one another. Hope everyone will feel better tomorrow…they will if they take a look at that sweet puppy face. Have a blessed day…
yunho’s mediaplay is so shameful
his poor fans thinks that this poor thing is influential lol but other celebrities weren’t even interested in being mc or even participate in the festival. lol
he used his fame as dbsk to get this mc position. I pity the other normal soldiers whom auditioned to get the mc positions but they were removed from the main list thanks to yunho. tsk tsk
we can be sure why other soldiers never talks good things about him as in Jae’s case.
You are so right. Seeing the video of the final auditions and how hard they were all fighting to get their spot, I can imagine the disappointment and resentment of those soldiers who rehearsed so hard and were as good, if not better, but didn’t get it just because they are not “the most influential idol currently enliisted”.
Moreover, we know that the fame of DBSK was earned by five people not by those two who continued riding on the old fame and pretending they are still the same, as if their lead singer and main vocals were still there.
If you take your jar of honey and remove three fifths of the honey and replace it with hot water, will that still be honey or just sweetened water?
I hope he sing something other than rock. No offense to his rock songs but I love hearing him sing his ballads and hip hop songs better.
No news of the songs list? Well, better keep confidential, to be something more surprising. This definitely need practice and dedication of the performer and the band. Looking forward! All the best!
Knowing JJ, he must have something new for us. He always did, either a cover or his own song. But I really wish he could sing One Kiss or Mine or any song from his albums
I would like a mix of rock and ballads, but have the feeling it’s going to be rock coz it’s a rock band, but we have only a day left before we know. Being so impatient for tomorrow
but is it true that jaejoong is not really in any of the main perfomances or main stages?? maybe i also didn’t understand the descriptions correctly, but i sounded like it was more of a smaller side stage? or am I wrong? if its like this i would be really surprised, cause i was expecting him to take part on the main stage perfmances? really stange if he would not be, as such a famous artist and this talend.. i hope i a wrong about this… i am sure he is happy and doing his best no matter the stage, but he would deserve the main one…:)
The main stage may be full of speeches and ceremonial activities since it’s a festival. I think there was a thorough deliberation with the organizers, the performers and the division heads on how to keep this festival serves its purpose with all the celebrities involved, they may have consider “fans” factor. Personally I’m very thankful that they keep JJ away from that main stage, at least this festival won’t be turned into a circus of fanfics and obsessive/delusional people. It’s said that Fringe is a live stage that showcase people’s TALENTS, it’s like a special attraction. It may not be the main stage but considering the poll of talents to be there (of course with JJ) I’m sure they will turn their stage the grandest.
I agree with you. The most important is …. we can see JJ perform. I don’t care about anything. I hope more fancams since I cannot joint the festival.
I understand it in this way that different stages have different functions, the main stage serves as stage for official things. And this fringe is specialized for singing, dancing, magic performance etc… and is really close to the audience.
Haters gonna hate you know. Anyways, im super excited to see those two in the same event. Highlight of my year dayum ❤
Irrelevant name is no welcome here!
nobody cares about your feelings here though xD
…this is they highlight of the your year ?
nothing else you did or happen to you in life for a hole year tops this ?
….. okay then ~
So proud of you, Jae 👍😆 & miss you, yuchunnn 😘
Hope we can get a lot a fancam! Anyway fancam better than public broadcast.
I hope JJ will always stay away from the stage where MC will be there. Im sorry guys but I don’t want JYJ to be involve with TVXQduo ever again. Time has gone already the Duo choses their path and so with JYJ. I will be happy to walk in a rough road with JYJ..😃
So Jaejoongie just think your other 2members and the fans and enjoy the festival. Im cheering for you..fighting!
@Euralyn very well said^^
yes, dear Jeajoongie, show your TALENT to the world, SING hard and enjoy the stage of yours^^
fighting JJ!!! fighting JYJ!!!
But Yoochun has said he want’s to drinks with Homin and Jaejoong has said stuff in the past that meant he wanted to talk to them. So are you going to hate them for that or are you going to just say “Oh how nice they are because they “forgave” them”.
Sorry but I just don’t like when people don’t seem to respect what JYJ wants.
I’d like to add something here: Saying that you want Jaejoong to NOT walk/roam around the area and just stick to his stage and people, just shows that you have forgotten what kind of person Jaejoong is. Jaejoong is kindhearted and will definitely try and find Yunho to talk to him during these days. We have evidence that Jaejoong (and JYJ for that matter) still cares for TVXQ and his past members, he may be rightly disappointed and hurt by them, but the Jaejoong that I know is someone that would try and solve problems and deal with it, rather then hide from it.
@iskennotn, Yoochun did not only say he wants to have a drink with TVXQ at several times, but also that he’d like to reunite and stand on the same stage together again. Honestly, I would be surprised if it’s only Yoochun that have these feelings.
@ Sofie and what is it that makes you think that it will be Jaejoong who “will definitely try and find Yunho to talk to him during these days”? Why not the other way around – YH trying to look for JJ? It is precisely because of statements such as this that I would rather they did not meet. The stories and fanfics after that of JJ’s undying love, etc make me want to puke.
If it weren’t for shipper fans, I would have very much liked for the two to meet. And JJ will be able to look him straight into the eye for answers to all those questions we have wanted to know over the years. But will YH be that thick-skinned to be able to look into JJ’s and withstand the gaze of those eyes that speak? Who, do you think will such a meeting be more embarrassing to – JYJ or Duo?
@ anna liza: The only reason I said Jaejoong is because I don’t know Yunho that well, I’m not a fan.
It isn’t because of Jaejoong’s “undying love”, that I think he will try and talk to Yunho, I get what you mean and why you are disgusted by these kind of statements, but what I meant is that, even if it wasn’t Yunho, if just any person that Jaejoong knew and was friends with for many years ago, and even if that person may have hurt him, he wouldn’t purposely avoid that person, and all that says, is that Jaejoong is an mature adult, and not a childish teenager. They have all grown up, and feelings of wanting to talk to lost friends is an emotionally mature thing, simply nothing else.
Also, asking me who would be more uncomfortable meeting each other, when we do not require enough knowledge, neither the right to assume JYJ was the only side hurt, or more hurt for that matter, is a question asked by a biased perspective, and therefore, something you and I can’t answer with a plain opinion.
We know exactly what kind of person Jaejoong is. He is kind hearted and forgiving and we do not want people to take advantage of that. He will only get more hurt in the process so I think it is better if he stays away from the MC.
people see only what they want to see yoochun said ” a reunion is IMPOSSIBLE” when he was asked about them he said ” I NO LONGER HATE THEM, we can even have a drink together” well yoochun moved on now and is mature enough and have a big heart to forgive them (those who didn’t even made it to his dad funeral ) so stop putting in big picture only what appeals to you.
and yes jaejoong and all JYJ members in the past talked in good way about homin but afer what homin did and said about JYJ, jaejoong simply ended it with problem wasn’t between members and moved on since 2011 ( let’s not talk about his tweet keep your head up and your spirit high which means he was, as all of us, deeply hurt by a certain song lyrics). JJ’s bio in twitter also changed from “JYJ from DBSK” to “JJ of JYJ” and he also moved on since then. stop acting like if homin did nothing and still doing things wrong to JYJ (kpop history book 2014 ring a bell).
Yes we know JYJ forgave homin and moved on but I don’t see why do you bash people who support “oly JYJ” because be it jaejoong junsu or yoochun they all made it clear they are happy as JYJ and are going to remain forever as JYJ. does JYJ have to bash homin and speak in bad way about them ? because I don’t understand why do you think they care for homin just because it seems they forgave them ? why would you think JYJ would care for those who put hands with their enemies and backstabbed them when JYJ were having the hardest time in their life ? lol just lol people double standards. JYJ forgave homin only means that JYJ forgave homin no more no less. it concern their personal life not professional.
the fact that the unrelated person pulled his celebrity card to join the event (which is unfair to the other normal soldiers) shows that he professionally didn’t change even a bit he is always the kid who depend on his big company influence. in other words this Guy will forever stuck with SM aka JYJ enemy 🙂
The young men who have been selected to participate on the GFF stages are socially talented as well as being talented performers. Rude gestures, critical comments, a disparaging tone are not elements of communication that engender a tolerant atmosphere or promote favorable publicity – for the individual, a fandom, or the military. I appreciate the comment of Georgia Peach, above, and the following replies. (I would have sent this as a reply, but couldn’t find a reply button on GP’s comment!) At any rate, it was relieving to read something less argumentative, more evenly modulated, and which shared a more generous perspective.
Thank you, Rabi. It certainly would be unfair that Yunho took someone else’s place because of him supposedly being “the most influential…..”. But, since when is the world full of fairness? All I think JJ needs to do is sing his heart out for the people there and give us international fans great fancams. And he will do just that!!!!!!!
And for all we know, they may have met in the commissary and had noodles together. If they are avoiding one another….that’s okay too. Don’t you think their respective managers and the organizers-the military people-have talked. (No dirty tricks from SM, please) I think Jae Joong and Yunho know this event is not about them, but about the great army of South Korea. If they don’t, they have superiors to tell them right quick.
Just so excited to see JJ sing😍😍😍. I have worn the clip of the 70th Anniversary out.
do people think these guys are going to be thinking about this event with all these emotions of happiness and hate and whatever like all these different fans?
they’re just trying to finish their service time and get back to doing their job and living their life .
it’s been years and still people want to argue about old stuff , check what others are saying and argue some more and preach the good fan speech…..ugh !
just stick with the Fandom that you enjoy and enjoy your favorites without it being more than that .
Sorry but I have to say, is this still JYJ Fandom here? Some comments really make me feel ridiculous.
I just thought the very thing you said… how strange is it for someone to say “I’m a big fan of someone but that person won’t get any support from me, I’m going to support someone else instead” – does that make sense?
In all honesty, I am a JYJ fan and yes – JJ biased – I do not hold anything against UK,- live and let people live that’s my quota. The only thing that would bother me to no end, would be the fans who ship the pair and I seriously wish things won’t turn ugly( as it happenend in the past during JJ’s fanmeetings & solo concerts). My heart still cringes a bit, in fear that they would do something out of hand; as this might be seen as: “OMG they are taking part in the same festival- just the two of them- it’s real!” I wish the shippers would show proper respect and refrain from doing anything improper, moreover as this is a ROKA Event!
Rilana – thanx so much for the update ^^b ♥
Yes ,yes, I have been thinking the same thing all day long as I have read the post. Thank you, JJROCKing for expressing it so well. I think this is the greatest fear of all Jae Joong fans. When will that ‘shipping’ trash ever be taken to the dump where it belongs?
Thank you Georgia Peach ^^ Oh first of nice to meet you! I know right, that shipping turned into something way too out of hand- that is endagering his career.. I guess when JJ is going to get married – hopefully soon! He has done so much for us fans that he deserves to be happy too and not feel alone all the time. Though even married I don’t think these guys will stop. It will probably turn lot worse.
There is nothing wrong with wishing both Jaejoong and Yunho good luck. You can be a fan of both. But please keep your fantasies hidden. Don’t publicly ship them. Don’t offend the two artists.
As for the haters of Homin and Homin fans on this site, yikes. Isn’t it against the rules or something to bash other idols and their fans? Please love your idol without attacking others for their different tastes, they love JYJ too.
Please, without hate and anger, keep the heart free of hate, thanks.
sorry for asking this here and please don’t bash me about it. but this was already mentionen in a few comments. whats this about this person (and a gueass it is Yunho) pulling the celebritiy card? Because it was now already mentionen a few times in different comments and i really haven’t keep up with detailed news about this festival. So i’m really just curious what this is about. Cause i honestly thought or hoped that entertainment companies, eg…would at least have no influence in the army. hope someone can explain it to me
Entertainment companies have influence, only because the industry of entertainment backs them up through offecial letters they sent to broadcast stations, both locally and abroad.
Something like (JYJ are prohibited from broadcast because of …..) the broadcast stations reads this letter and banns JYJ according to the request from this big official, not because SM or any other entertainment company went to them and said so.
JYJ weren’t blocked in Japan during the first year of the lawsuit. They weren’t JYJ then, but they weren’t blocked either, until the industry in control of entertainment companies, sent out that letter to everyone.
In Tarantallegra, if fans haven’t noticed, there is a line referring to the industry though it could also refer to SM (Now aren’t you tired of the world controlled by them.)
There is also an image. The dark background where Junsu wears white, with the angry glowing clouds. The darkness is the entertainment world. Who controls the entertainment world and made it dark? SM or the industry. Then he dances under the angry cloud eyes in that dark world in defiance.
I do think Tarantallegra is a defiance against the industry.
That’s why I think its this industry that does these favors for SM and JYP, otherwise SM and JYP and others really don’t have influence over Broadcast stations, how could they have such influence on abroad broadcast stations? This is the influence of a much bigger force than a company.
Avex didn’t block JYJ because of SM, but because of that official letter sent from the big boss of entertainment, the Korean entertainment industry. These are the real blockers behind it, otherwise JYJ wouldn’t have been able to appear on Japanese TV from mid 2009 (when the lawsuit took place) up till September 2010. SM’s fussing was not heard, so SM went to convince the big boss and he wrote those letters at that time. And the boys were blocked everywhere since then.
well i now about this things already. i just wanted to know more about the comments especially refering to yunho pulling a celebritiy card concerning this festival in particular, because i has been mentionend in some comments. so i was wondering is it possible some has influence even in this festival from the army?
May I ask who according to you is this “big boss” figure? As far as I know these problems happen only to former SM artists and even if there was some specific super influencial person in charge of intrigues in the entertainment industry, still this person does what SM tells them to, right?
You come to JYJ fansite to bash JYJ fans? I wonder why people like you would do that?!
As to what you said, I see Jaejoong genuinely happy when he sees his parents proud, when playing with his nieces/nephews, when interacting with fans like he could these past days and let’s not forget – when being around Yoochun and Junsu. Their friendship is one of a kind obviously.
What you said sounds like Jaejoong couldn’t live his life fully while he wasn’t meeting Yunho and Changmin. Whose fault is it that they couldn’t meet? Even you acknowledged Yunho and Changmin didn’t want to talk to JYJ. So what? They made a decision.
I can’t speak for others but as a fan who didn’t wish Jaejoong and Yunho to spend time together during this festival, I can offer you my reason for this mindset – simple as it is, it gives a chance to various malicious people to start a smear campaign against JYJ. There are SM stans who make it sound as if Jaejoong need to beg for Yunho’s attention, there are (sorry for the harsh expression) fanfic retards who make up disgusting stories about romance between people who are not interested in that romance at all etc etc. In this case things have gone too far and fans who want their idol to live well and have a peaceful military service don’t wish to see hateful comments nor speculations. Again, personally I am not interested in Yunho’s activities, as long as he deserves a position, may he do well, I do not hate him. Yet I don’t like him. And I don’t like people (such as certain fans) stirring up controversy for any price. They seem to can’t live without it. I trust whatever Jaejoong does, he knows what he is doing, of course he can talk to whoever he wants to, I just don’t want to see him getting hate as a part of someone’s media play or twisted propaganda.
To add to the fiction perverts, if Jaejoong said he was gay or whatever else, I would support him 100%. But it feels disgusting to me when people who don’t even know him personally speak about his orientation, his preferences, speculate about relationships he never even hinted on. It’s disrespectful and unfair and it would be unfair to anyone if it concerned them. He is a singer and actor and although undoubtedly good looking, he is not a piece of meat nor anyone’s toy.
Other than that, what you say doesn’t make sense – SM should not be accused of abusing their power here (it would be useless to argue about how big their power is that is not the core of the problem) but on the other hand you practically imply Yunho had to wait to get to the army, so that SM can’t hinder his attempt to talk to Jaejoong… again, these are speculations left and right. As if you were there with them when both the families were “happily talking”. I read all comments under the articles about the recent GFF and people were praising Jaejoong’s performances, his fellow soldier’s performances and weren’t paying attention to Yunho, his family or things related to him. Maybe you should go read those comments before you mention bashing someone. Not that your own tone is overly friendly, huh?
This comment was meant for “Ilisten2kpop”, as I was sad to read what they wrote. I don’t see their comment anymore though.
