Excerpts from Yahoo News S-Korea Editorial: Kim Jaejoong the center of attention/attracting people even in army
May 16
Jaejoong from JYJ enlisted on March 31th, 2015. It’s has been a year already, and only six months till his discharge. He was assigned to the Bonghwa 55th infantry division after the basic military training. He seems surrounded by people, just the same as the time he was an idol.
<Sudden, exponential increase in number of his male fans>
Jaejoong seems like he has built a good reputation in Army. Following are some eyewitness accounts people uploaded onto twitter:
“If you want to see Kim Jaejoong, look for a place where crowds of soldiers are gathered. Most likely, Jaejoong is at the center”.
“Sometimes and impromptu handshake or autograph event with Jaejoong are held in the PX (or Post Exchange is a market inside the army base). He is so kind, well mannered and manly”.
“Saw Jaejoong by chance at the PX. He brought all the soldiers in his unit and told them: Pick whatever you want, it’s on me. I was so envious”.
He is also praised for his combat ability. He is called a “natural soldier” for posting top scores everytime.

#fewMonthsToGo
#waitingForKimJaejoong
What I’m happy about is that the army service wasn’t the “end” that Jaejoong seemed so concerned about. He has done so well and is making new fans along the way! He should know and believe his fans will wait for him and keep tabs on him. And the ROKA has done a great job letting him use his skills in service. CPL KJJ FIGHTING!
Slynn571…..so agree with you….those tears have been turned into smiles! I know it hasn’t been all easy for him, but he will benefit from the experience for sure. And not just in getting more fans.
True to his words that he would make better more of himself..a praised for his combat abiliy,..i’m proud of him before but it makes me more even prouder of him..because of a well rounded personality he achieve to be a great person. KJJ WAITING ! KJJ FIGHTING!
“He shares snacks and skin care products….” LOL THAT’S Our Joongie!! ❤ ❤ ❤
