Boy band JYJ on Thursday made their first public appearance as a group after two of the members enlisted in the Army earlier this year for their two-year mandatory military service.
The trio received the Prime Minister’s Commendation at the 2015 Korean Popular Culture and Arts Award held in Seoul for their contribution to the spread of Korean pop culture, or hallyu.
“Thank you so much for inviting us and giving us such an honorable award. We will try harder to contribute to introducing Korean culture worldwide,” member Kim Junsu said.
Thirty artists will be honored this year with several titles, including the Culture Medal, the Presidential Commendation and Minister’s Commendation.
K-pop girl group Girls Day, a recipient of Minister’s Commendation, will perform during the ceremony.

Junsu rocked with OeO LOL he almost danced out his clothes! HAHAHAHA! CONGRATS JYJ WE LOVE YOU!
I saw that too! His shirt buttons can’t handle him hahaha … ^^;
Quarter of one in the a.m. here and I just finished watching the awards ceremony live via a link provided by this site in another post. Thank you, so much. I don’t know who provided the English subtitles in real-time, but well-deserved kudos are due to them. This 2015 Korean Popular Culture and Arts Awards was a first-class presentation that lent dignity and respect to the esteem of the awards. Group JYJ was cheered at several mentions, and I enjoyed the camera shots of Yuchun and Jaejoong watching Junsu perform. It seemed to me that their pride in, and affection toward, their member was evident.
Oof. I hope Jae doesn’t get too down on himself for the flag on his uniform. It was so lovely to see them together and being awarded. Yoochun singing along to Yesterday was very sweet. ^^
@Sniffles can you explain about the flag being on JJ uniform? I do not remember seeing the flag being on his uniform.
@Flower On the red carpet before the ceremony started, the Korean flag patch on Jaejoong’s right shoulder was upside-down. It was fixed by the time he got on stage, but he is getting criticism for having it wrong when he arrived. It’s a small mistake, but it’s taken extremely seriously in the military. I’m a little worried for him.
Thanks for the reply. I do not know about those things.
where can i watch the whole video
I don’t know about the whole show but if you search JYJ on YOUTUBE and filter it for today the JYJ parts have been uplaoded by a few folks! Enjoy!

Thank you very very much JYJ3 for the link. Was able to watch it live and scream and dance in joy. Our guys are the most handsome and Junsu singing and dancing was a real bonus!
Congradulations JYJ I am proud of you
I love you all the three of you ❤ ❤ ❤
I was giggling when I first saw them holding the JYJ flag. Whoever thought of that is a genius! Our three JYJ guys are looking so fine indeed.
The translation of Junsu’s speech/message was quite amazing….AJA
Wow!! Congratulationssssssssssss!!!!!! So happy and so proud for JYJ..
JJ looking hotter than ever; knowing military rules, hope they will not be severe with his minor mistake.
Yoochun ahh… never seen him so formal, could be mistaken as a royalty.
Junsu.. OMG SUN!! That almost shirtless dance made me sleepless all night.. Hopefully, we’ll see more of that on live broadcast. 🙂
I’m sooooo looking forward for your comeback.. We love you so much! Aja!
