[RUMOUR CONTROL] Recent Events Involving Acgae Fans within the JYJ Fandom
Dear readers,
We are very saddened by recent incidents within our JYJ fandom that has undeniably caused confusion and misunderstanding among JYJ fans. Given that the issue has escalated to a point that it has, sadly, caused rifts between fans, we think it would be irresponsible for us to remain silent and ignore the issue as if it doesn’t exist.
The purpose of this post is to share information, and debunk malicious rumours being spread by certain fans. Just like in the past, we reported about Hotel Fans (Anti Fans of JYJ) spreading malicious rumours about JYJ. This time, we are reporting malicious rumors created by some acgae fans that allegedly involve Yoochun, Jaejoong and C-Jes. [A/N: “Acgae Fans” are malicious one member/person fans, not to be confused with “individual member fans”]
Recent Incidents and Malicious Rumors:
– On June 7, a post was made at Park Yoochun DC Gall that Yoochun was offered 30 CFs but was rejected by C-JeS because of someone or something. Acgae fans complained that C-JeS rejected these CF offers for Yoochun in favor of more [JYJ] group CFs. The acgaes blamed both Junsu and Jaejoong, but most of the anger was fueled toward Jaejoong with acgaes saying he is jealous of Yoochun or that he is simply being selfish. Allegedly, Park Sang Ho, who is Yoochun’s manager and now is in charge of managing JYJ, was named by these acgae fans as the source of this information. Subsequently, Park Sang Ho confirmed, through a recorded conversation with a fan, that the CF issue had no relation to Jaejoong at all. [A/N” We’d like to emphasize that these actions were made by acgae fans, i.e. malicious fans, and not all fans within the YC fandom] Read More →
[TRANS] JYJ: The reason for why they could not help but do what they did…’Extreme/excessive Sasaeng’
Idol stars JYJ are currently engulfed in a violence-and-abuse controversy. However, exactly what is the root of this current controversy?
On the 6th, an entertainment media site publicly alleged that idol group JYJ had verbally abused and hit sasaeng fans. They further on stated that there were voice files recordings attained from these sasaengs to prove it.
Prior to the 6th, an online community board posted a message titled “Park Yoochun hits a Sasaeng.” A video recording was even uploaded and made known to the public. […]
However, despite the recent controversy and its potential damage to JYJ’s image, in order to understand why JYJ could not help but do what they did, we must first take a look at what the members experienced after their debut and understand the pain they had been going through for the past 6 years. One cannot simply cover up the underlying issue/problem by simply saying “They hit fans.”
The fact that JYJ verbally abused sasaeng cannot be denied. However, ever since the members of JYJ were part of 5 member group DBSK, they had already encountered disparaging/painful experiences of sasaeng chasing after them.
These sasaeng would undergo 24 hour surveillance of the members; monitoring there every move, taking pictures and recording videos. When DBSK were doing their activities in Japan, the trend of sasaeng spread from simply Korean fans to Japanese and Chinese fans as well. One Japanese fan even moved closer to live next to DBSK’s residence and publicly announced that she monitored their every move.
[TRANS] 120118 Jaejoong and Fuku-san’s Q&A from The 5th Annual Hero Festival
Fuku-san Q&A
:: Jaejoong is?
– Muscle Babo (T/N: who is obsessed with working out)
:: The place you met Jaejoong for the 1st time?
– No comment (Because it involves other people..)
:: Jaejoong’s strengths and weaknesses?
– Strengths: he is too cute that it’s hard to handle.
– Weaknesses: If I sleep at Jaejoong’s place, the next morning he will probably make breakfast for me. But it’s so spicy that it’s hard to eat.
It seems that it’s his strong point too? But anyway, throwing all strengths away, he’s still a good guy.
:: Any common point between you and Jaejoong?
– We like erotic things, because we’re men. Men are all like that. Isn’t it? I don’t really know LOL
:: What happened with the underpants that you gave him as present?
– Eventually, I brought it back with me and now use it as pajama.
Jaejoong Q&A
:: How do you dress when you’re alone at home?
– I dress like this. Uhm pajamas, t-shirt (khaki long-arm t-shirt), is it too natural?
Well,, this is my working room. Several songs were made here.

[INFO] Cassiopeia and Korean Fansites
There are five main Korean fansites: DNBN, Yuerubi (유애루비), Ikadong (이카동), DC TVXQ gall, Telzone.
Before I explain the differences between these fansites, let me make one point clear first.
Cassiopeia, as used in fandom vernacular, stands for all fans that support TVXQ.
(Although to be an official Cassie, you must join the fanclub which is operated by SM.)
Therefore Cassiopeia includes all fansites that are in existence.
Now let me address the differences between fansites.
1. DNBN
DNBN is one of the most representative Korean fansites. Until recently, they supported all five members.
However, they changed their stance since 2-member TVXQ’s comeback. To read their current stance, please visit www.dnbn.pe.kr. *
2. Yuerubi (유애루비)
Yuerubi is the biggest fansite, having nearly 750,000 members.
Among major Korean fansites, Yuerubi is the only site that still supports all five members.
The age of the members are rather young compared to other sites. Yuaerubi’s daily traffic has gone down significantly in recent years so its large membership is deceiving of actual fandom climate.
