Congratulations Sgt. Kim Jaejoong, WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU 👍💚💚💚
@kris and all others you guys really made these 640 days much less painful than I thought . Thank you ! We made it ,Jaejoong made it by gaining even more fans . Amazing!
Musings on Day Zero
I had a dream,
but 640 days ago it was trampled,
Yet deep in my heart that dream,
more precious than a gemstone,
was buried but stayed alive.
I was patient and I waited
And counted not the days that came
but those that dragged on without you.
I was ridiculed for counting the days backwards.
I was told I was crazy for waiting for somebody thousands of miles away,
Six hundred and forty days into the future
For who knows what might happen before then?
Cowering at the bottom and looking up at that 640 hill was hard
Would I be able to climb up the steep path?
But worrying that your new life in unchartered waters was even harder
Gave me the strength to move on,
And the courage to dream of day Zero.
And I was not alone.
Keeping a daily vigil by my side was Kris,
Ready to cheer me up when my spirits slumped
And the peach of the Georgia sun with the Southern twang
Telling “ya’ll” to keep the faith.
And Caylen pushing me on with Jae virus and Jae smiles
And Karenina Ana, waiting for her Prince VronJae
And the mother of Korea, Xiasperal, too, cheered us on
And Cheryl (where are you now?) and so many others
And under the guidance of JYJ3’s Rilanna and Mia
We became and indomitable team.
And now Day Zero has come.
How will you walk out of those gates?
(Your old civvies won’t fit any more, will they?)
What new image will you assume?
What new projects?
What new roads?
What new dreams?
We shall be with you.
It was NO.X for us. We did not walk away we stayed.
Happy New Year to ya’ll and cheers for new beginnings.
Salute for Sgt. Kim Jaejoong and for all of us @anna liza !!!

Salute to you, Kris and thanks for everything. Day in and day out, like a soldier on her post, you never missed a beat. (BTW what are you doing still up? Too excited to sleep?)
thank you kris for your steady unwavering support of JJ that helped all of us stay strong!
Thanks kris…your post is my daily Jaejoong way, can’t last a day without looking it up
Kris, it’s not over…..can you imagine all the great fan art you will get to post in the coming months? Can’t wait for that first photo spread in Elle or High Cut magazine‼️❣️😍😍❣️‼️
GROUP HUG LADIES 🌹🌻🌹🌻🌹🌻💚💚💚
@anna liza, how could I sleep when everybody was waiting for the counter to stop 😍😜💚
Let’s get ready to say goodbye to soldier Kim and say HELLO to Artist KJJ
Aaaaah, Anna Liza….you kind heart. Thank you for the words we were all thinking and feeling, but we’re unable to say! I’m sure I’ve been a fan of Jae’s more while he’s been in service than out…so a new day is truly dawning for me! I’m wondering if he’s sleeping tonight or laying awake listening to the snoring around him…excited to dead for what the day will bring him. Don’t you know he’s wondering how many people will be at the gate? He’ll probably underestimate! When will he see his parents next? When will he see Yuchun and Junsu….perhaps the night of the 30th? What will he wear at the fan meeting on the 31st? I’m hoping for black hair for a little while….😘. Oh, I’m just really happy this day has come for him and for us! I can’t help but think of those sad lyrics from Meeting Again, Will Meet Again…..You told me not to worry cause you will be waiting. You never said goodbye and assured me. Now, no more waiting…no more goodbyes….
@GP Georgia, Like you I am so excited, I want to know what is happening each minute . Have those squids surrounded him, listening with gaping mouths to the incredible stories he is telling them, or rolling down with laughter at his jokes for the last time or talking music or whatever men things they talk about, may be teasing him how many girls will be waiting for him at the gate and would he spare a few for them?
At the same time I hope, they will be sensible enough to let him have at least a couple of hours of sleep cuz the next two days will be really long for him. He will have to get used to long nights afresh.
Then, how is he going to dress?, how will he leave? Will he give a few minutes to the crowds I guess will be waiting for him at the exit or just zoom past driven away by Ahn Chan?
Questions, questions, expectations. I trust we shall know the answers to some of them soon enough.
My guess is that while sharing his time between family and friends he might not have the time to go to the Red Velvet for some elaborate hair styling and make up so at the first fan meeting he will be his plain self and then surprise us with a new image at his first concert.
Now we have answers to most of our questions. We know how he looked at that fan meeting! my bad, I thought it was going to be out of doors…instead it was in side😕 Loved his look. 😘 He was a bit wide eyed wasn’t he? How did you like the VLive stream? Great wasn’t it?! And we have the answer to how he’ll look at the concert on the 21st….my birthday…he said at the fan meeting he wants to look exactly like he did two years ago. And he has lost weight. I’m very glad he chose to go to the fan meeting without makeup….more later…..
You are so talented. Well done .
@Anna liza, thank you for your “Musings on Day Zero”… You never fail to amaze me with your beautiful words..
Sorry for reading this late and for not being here from Day 10 to Day 0. I had my Christmas-New year vacation at a far away and remote place where there is no internet..
Oh,, my God, the day has finally come.
Walking on air, breathing ozone.
You lucky guys and gyuesses from round the world, keep a respectable distance from our precious angel and do not shove your cameras in his nose but still contrive to send us as many photos and fancams as you possibly can.
Waiting for, JJ’s first selfie, first inst, first joke, first everything.
oh anna liza p m your musings are gold! we did it together and we MADE it up that hill. and now i think we will be rewarded 100fold for waiting for our prince to return, don’t you think?
Thanks. koreamom. It came spontaneously when I saw this photograph and thought of the Beginning of the End days.
Thanks for being there. I know I was so broken at the beginning and a real nuisance but you tolerated me and kept me going.
Waiting with my breath abated for the new beginnings. Cheers.
❤ its whats in your heart—and in all of ours. you just say it so well~

Finally the big day is here !
Breaking news:
Just saw a photo on Tunisian fan club page. It’s pitch dark by the barracks and a huge group of fans are already gathered at the exit. Wonder how many more will arrive by daylight.
Please do not squash our precious angel.
HOW WILL i sleep npow when I am getting soo excited
I admire their dedication, can’t imagine how cold it feels, negative temp + windy + very early morning.
Jaejoong is SO LOVED !
please credit as tagged, thanks for sharing 🌻🌹💚
That’s -10 degrees Celsius and 14 degrees Fahrenheit…..very, very cold no matter how you look at it! Did CJES send that coffee truck?
Jaejoong must have ordered that food truck through his agency.
Ain’t he a honey pie?
KEEP WARM ladies and gentlemen, -10 degrees
Thank you for being there for Jaejoong
I am in bed now but still following. They have brought a food truck for Jaejoong excitement keeps them warm 🙂
Let’s imagine we’re in the crowd 😪😭
One thing for sure….I’m not here in Georgia!
What time is it in Georgia? woah all eyes around the world are looking at that gate to open …
Here it is just past 2.00 a m. I am there with you. see those three pokeons. That’s us 🙂
That looks just like me! I don’t know about you! Wishing it was us…no matter how cold it is. I wonder about that open air fan meeting tomorrow!
Looks like it’s Ahn Chan who brought the food truck
Kris, it is 6:48 pm December 29th. Korea is 14 hours ahead of me! It’s 8:48 in Yongin. You are 13 hours ahead of me, right? Thank you for these updates! some 45 minutes and counting‼❣️‼
Welcome back our Jaejoong. 😘😘😘😘😘
Anzzang and the handsome bodyguards are already there !!!
(credit to the owner)
YES….PRESS/MEDIA people, please give us a livestream …
I know JYJ3 Team is compiling these photos, but for those who are not into twitterland, just bits and pieces, look at those crowd, fans and from media
OMG. He is in those cotton fatigues. No overcoat. Our guy will get frozen. Looks so handsome and so happy. Over 100 reporters. We should get plenty HD photos. And he will be in the news I bet. Welcome Jaejoong. You did it with honour. We are so proud of you.
yes we are SO proud of you!
He’s freezing, look at his hands…
And his breath in the air! His nose looks a bit red too! But I bet he really is not minding the cold….not one bit! Looks like some kind of thermal underwear beneath those fatigues. Wonder if they are polka dotted? 😂😂😂
OMG! he looks so handsome! is he happy or what?!!!
So handsome indeed … 😍💚💚💚
Jae’s hair is a bit long….look at the back. 👀 👀 😘
I read somewhere that few months before discharge, they are given longer day_offs and are slowly acclimatized to go back to their normal life, maybe haircut is one of them.
My fav, so healthy looking ! Love it !
No, he’s not happy….he’s overjoyed ❗And yes, yes Jae looks marvelous ‼️
he should NOT be surprised by all the fans there to greet him! oh i just want to hug him and wish him a welcome back! maybe get him a warm drink and ask how he has been this last month!
I feel the same, koreamom.
hugs to you georgia!
Just thought of this Jae Classic when I read your reply. Hope it works….it’s I”ll Protect You from the 2013 Mini Your My Mine Concert.
oh georgia! that hit me right in the feels! thank you so much for posting this. sure hope i can handle all he is sure to give us in the coming weeks. oh good thing we have strong hearts ❤
No dear, I’m really very weak hearted when it come to Jae Joong. He just looked so …. I’m not sure how to say….thankful, and sincere, and grateful. It’s hard not to want to hug him….a great big ole Southern Belle hug! I also thought he looked a great deal more approachable…..less like some carved god and more like the handsome boy next door who just came home from being far away for a long time. Could I say he looked a bit more wise/mature? I hope he can keep that look for a while…..
agreed!
Kim Jaejoong shi welcome back!!!!!
