[TRANS] 2nd Round of DNBN Social Satire Advertisement

This morning, on the front page of Kyunghyang, a major progressive newspaper in Korea, was the following:

The calligraphy reads: 

On the moonlit night of the eve, the single sheet of document you gave me, in secret lest it may be seen.

The three lads, thorn on your side, do not worry, there is no problem.

No matter what the honorable judge says, just trust the variety department.

[NEWS] 2nd Round of DNBN Advertisement Satirizes the Absence of JYJ from Public TV Variety Programs

JYJ Fandom Newspaper Advertisement Satirizes the Broadcast Companies that Interfere with JYJ Activities

Fans of JYJ (Kim Junsu, Park Yoochun, Kim Jaejoong) has published a newspaper advertisement that satirizes the fact that the three members cannot be seen on variety programs of public TV.

The newspaper advertisement contains writing that reads: “On the moonlit night of the eve, the single sheet of document you gave me, in secret lest it may be seen. The three lads, thorn on your side, do not worry, there is no problem. No matter what the honorable judge says, just trust the variety department.” It has a drawing of a woman who is carrying on her head a TV and a man in a mask who follows her. The argument is that the reason that JYJ cannot appear on variety programs of public television is because certain forces such as JYJ’s former agency is pressuring the variety departments.

[TRANS + PIC] Taiwan Advert Explains Truth Behind Misunderstandings + Other Taiwan News on JYJ

The below is the photo of the paper advertisement that explains the misunderstandings regarding the incident in Taiwan. The translation follows.

The truth about the “throwing away the gifts” incident

The most important thing in a gift is the heart.

In fact, to take all of the gifts to Korea had logistical difficulties, and in a situation in which the fans did not have sufficient communication with the promoter beforehand, there occurred a severe mutual misunderstanding. Further, it is suspected that the media outlets too also received wrongful disclosure/news. Due to many reasons the public of Taiwan was left with a poor impression of JYJ. That is the only regretful thing about the concert.

Hello. This is DNBN.

Rumors with low credibility regarding JYJ’s World Tour Indonesia Concert’s cancellation.

We have come to draft this rebuttal in order to give you credible information after confirming the truths and reliability of the (below) materials regarding the cancellation of the concert.

Yesterday C-JeS announced that JYJ’s concert in Indonesia was officially cancelled. Fans of Indonesia, we cannot imagine how distraught you are. We express our sincerest condolences.

Unfortunately, right now, false rumors that blame a particular member for the cancellation is spreading in the international fandom. Because this rumor is being spread unilaterally by one side, we want to provide the other side so that you have more complete information.

This writing is not to argue that the cancellation is the fault of one side or to criticize the other.

Only, we wish that through this writing there will be no one who will believe that the rumors that are currently spreading are the truths.

[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.
