Gagman Kim Beom Young led the fan meeting that lasted for 3 hours, JYJ performed songs from their worldwide album ‘The Beginning’ such as ‘Empty’, ‘Be My Girl’, and KBS 2TV Drama SungKyunKwan Scandal soundtrack ‘Chajatta’, also another new tracks from the latest release JYJ Music Essay ‘Their Rooms, Our Story’ namely ‘Mission’ and ‘Nine’.

The fan meeting was also prepared with competition games between teams that consist of the members and their manager, JYJ also revealed their ideal fans through ‘Ideal Fans World Cup’, and another segment called ‘Talk Time with The Guests’, where all fans had a good time throughout the show.

While JYJ was participating in the rehearsal prior to the fan meeting event, the members looked up the brief plan of the event programs to map the whole programs prepared. Since it’s been a long time they would finally meet their fans as sisters and daughters, the members were reported to show consistently sincere vibrant expression and professional act that amused all on-field staffs.

The meeting was conducted in 2 parts including 20 minutes intermission. During the talk about JYJ’s activities since the first showcase in October last year, Kim Junsu said, “I was really worried about whether I could attend this fan meeting, but I’m glad the event is finally run without any problems.” yet, “It was a serious earthquake situation there in Japan. JYJ wish for the safety of all our fans in Japan.” he expressed his sympathies.

At the 2nd segment in ‘Invitation of JYJ’s Guests’, musical actor Shin Young-suk, dance group Cool member Kim Sungsu, and rookie actor Park Yoohwan appeared. Kim Sungsu praised JYJ member Kim Jaejoong, “I haven’t spent so much time together with Jaejoong, but he’s a friend with a pure soul.” Meanwhile when Park Yoohwan was asked of which JYJ member he wanted to turn out to be the most, he answered “Kim Jaejoong” instead his own older brother Park Yoochun, thus drew audiences’ laughter.

At the corner ‘A Musical Song You Want to Hear from JYJ’, Shin Young-suk performed a song from musical ‘Mozart!’ called ‘Hwang Geum Byul’ with JYJ which was responded with great cheers and applause from fans. During ‘Ideal Fans World Cup’ JYJ commented on the pre-chosen 16 years-old ideal fan who claimed, “I’m a fan who simply trust and believe in them” as their most number one fan, JYJ said, “I hope our fans will wait for us and always believe in us, and we will repay you by working even harder.” and “In the future, despite the many obstacles we will encounter, we’ll keep showing you the best of us.”

JYJ also arranged a segment to give candies to all their fans. During the opening song of part 2 ‘Chajatta’, a large balloon popped out and showered fans with rain of marshmallows, also by showing red card at each exit door, JYJ had prepared candies which fans can take home. At the encore performance especially ‘Fallen Leaves’ song, JYJ shed tears and without any regrets, saying thank you to all fans who had come to the fan meeting.

After the fan meeting finished, JYJ said, “We were disappointed that the 3 hours time quickly flew by. We’re really thankful to all the fans, and this was a happy moment we will never forget, it’s been our strength. We hope this kind opportunity can happen often from now on.”

CJeS director Baek Chang-ju said, “Thanks to all fans who were worried whether Junsu would be able to return safely, he’s able to keep his promise and meet everyone today.” and “In order to remain this White Day fan meeting as an unforgettable memories to all fans, hopefully we’re able to release an official DVD soon for another membership benefits to be given to all members.”

110314 Towards JYJ’s Repeated Warnings to Sasaeng Fans, Netizens Commented “Fans are not law breakers”

JYJ Park Yoochun recently complained with the excessive act of the sasaeng fans.

On March 12th evening JYJ Park Yoochun tweeted, “Please do not follow me. Do not come in front of my house. Sasaeng!”. Later he also tweeted on the same day, “The people in front of my house… No matter how much I think about it, in my opinion they’re just the same like anti-fans. It’s been too much, I hate it.” he expressed his frustrated feeling.

Sasaeng are kind of fans who give up their own lives to intrude the privacy of celebrities, they follow each and every moves of their idols, even after the idols’ work schedule wrapped up. During recent years, sasaeng fans have been known to stalk around their artist in a group by taking taxis.

Last year JYJ Kim Jaejoong who had the same experience as his fellow member with sasaeng fans wrote in his twitter, “The sasaeng taxi that drives around an empty cab looking for celebrities and then contact fans to charge them is the more evil of society. If your children or family member did this… if only the knew how many people whose privacy got harmed,” he revealed his uncomfortable feeling with those sasaeng in taxis.

He also mentioned, “All of us five members, either at home or on street, they have seen us crying or suffering from accidents, but all we saw in the front glass of ‘sasaeng taxis’ were smiling faces.” and “let’s not do acts that shorten lives in the name of love,”

Towards these repeated warning of the artists to sasaeng fans’ act, netizens commented, “You guys are criminal, you don’t even sleep.” “It’s an illegal act,” “They must be mentally disturbed.”

JYJ’s Heartfelt Message to Japanese Fans

Written Message:

From JYJ

Hello. This is JYJ.

We are not sure how to begin.

Due to an unexpected disaster, many in Japan are deep in sorrow and fear, and we know that among them are our dear fans, and our hearts very much ache. We pray for those people who passed away due to the earthquake on Friday and for the safety of those who are still missing.

We were moved by Japan’s calm response in the face of the terror of the disaster. We believe that the current disaster is not only the sadness of Japan but of all humankind. If we all have hope and courage, we believe that the clouds will soon disappear and the sun will shine again.

On the day of the earthquake, being in Tokyo, we were extremely shocked. Therefore, we are worried about the safety of the missing Japanese people and the Korean-Japanese. We are checking the bulletins of the press and are keeping watch (in trepidation). Please take heart despite the hardship. We, JYJ, are with you. We want to add to your strength.

We hope to meet with the Japanese fans soon. We wish to meet you all. And, we love you.

JYJ Successfully Completes their First Official Fan Meeting

On March 12th, JYJ completed their first official fan meeting with 7,000 fans. It marked their first meeting in four months since their concert last November.

With gagman Kim Bum Yong as the MC, the 3-hour long fan meeting featured a total of seven performances, which included Empty,” “Be My Girl,” “Found You,” “Mission,” and “Nine.”

Junsu stated, “I worried a lot over whether I would be able to attend our fan meeting today, but I’m glad that we were able to hold it safely. The situation with the earthquake in Japan is severe.  We will be praying for the safety of our fans in Japan.”

Since the fan meeting was divided into two parts, the second half saw guest appearances from Shin Young Sook, Cool’s Kim Sung Soo, and Yoochun’s younger brother, Park Yoohwan.

Kim Sung Soo turned to praise Jaejoong by commenting, “I haven’t known Jaejoong for that long, but his soul is very pure.” Park Yoohwan continued the string of compliments by choosing Jaejoong when he was asked to name a member he’d like to resemble the most.

A special event was also held during the fan-meeting, in which 16 fan replies were chosen for a world cup competition; the members would narrow down their choice for the best message until they ended up with one. The fan reply that was ultimately chosen was, “I’m a fan that just believes and trusts.”

JYJ commented, “We’d like for our fans to always believe in us and wait.  We’ll be working hard in order to repay that trust.” 

During their performance of “Found You,” balloons were strewn over the concert hall and later popped to sprinkle marshmallow candies over the fans in celebration of the ‘White Day’ holiday. As it was a touching moment, JYJ and their fans cried together.

CJES Entertainment concluded, “Because of everyone who worried and gave their support, Kim Junsu was able to return safely and keep his promise to his fans. We hope that this fan meeting will forever remain as an unforgettable ‘White Day.’”

110311 JYJ Rejected ‘Radio Paradise’ Appearance Controversy “We Don’t Intentionally Avoid the Appearance”

JYJ’s rejection to appearance request on KBS Cool FM ‘Yoo Hee Yeol’s Radio Paradise’ sparks another public controversies.

On March 9th at dawn ‘Radio Heaven’ PD held a TVXQ & JYJ special airing during the radio’s program ‘Midnight Restaurant’. Yoon Sang-hyun PD said, “These days some people keep talking about TVXQ which builds JYJ fans while the opposite party also claim that it’s JYJ who builds TVXQ fans, there was a strange atmosphere exists. Therefore on today’s ‘Midnight Restaurant’ let’s decorate the show by listening alternately to the songs between the two teams TVXQ and JYJ.”

During the broadcast Yoon Sang-hyun PD revealed, “‘Radio Heaven’ has made phonecalls with JYJ manager a few times to talk about broadcast instructions for regular appearance, yet in the end they couldn’t make it.” arousing the curiosity of JYJ’s fans.

Currently JYJ is not in the situation where they can have group activities broadcast smoothly. Earlier this year JYJ was dipped into another controversy when their scheduled reality show program that was about to air in cable channel QTV was put to a halt. Considering such situation, the act of JYJ’s party to reject appearance in a popular radio program has been drawing a lot of attention.

JYJ representative explained to Newsen via phonecall, “At this point, I really don’t understand why this appearance request story got distorted, but we never avoid this appearance request intentionally. Whether or not an artist are able to appear on a show, there should be many various reasons behind, while when an artist are unable to attend despite being requested, it’s just an usual situation.”

“JYJ is craving for broadcast appearances and highly desires for chances to have broadcast activities. However, at these times starting from January the members have been committed in frequent overseas activities, for example Kim Junsu with his musical activities schedule, thus it’s impossible for them to make the appearance.” he said, “There seems to be a misunderstanding during the communication process. If the program fits the group’s images and schedule, we will be willing to appear at anytime.”

Brian Displayed Extreme Concern for JYJ’s Junsu After Japan’s Earthquake

After Japan experienced a severe earthquake and tsunami, many fans have been worried about the safety of Korean celebrities who are currently visiting the island nation.

Brian, a former Fly to the Sky member, expressed his worry through his Twitter account. He tweeted, “I called Xiah Junsu over 10 times right now, but I’m worried because I can’t get in contact with him. I keep tearing up.” He later tweeted at the JYJ members, “@0101xiahtic @mjjeje @6002theMicky Are you guys okay? I tried to call Junsu, but I’m so worried because the phones aren’t working…”

Junsu’s representative revealed that he had conversed with Junsu by phone, stating, “Kim Junsu is safe. He is currently waiting for a flight back to Korea at the airport. I think Brian posted the message because 

Junsu is currently unable to get phone connection in Japan.”

In the end, Brian was able to eventually get in contact with Junsu. He updated his Twitter with, “Finally got a text back from Junsu… He said he’s OK… Not a fan of the news, need to hear from the person themselves to be sure 100%.”

110309 JYJ fans counter group’s suspension with website launch

The group is one of many engaged in a battle with management over controversial exclusive contracts

» Internet broadcasting station ilovejyj.com’s website, above, and a Seoul City subway station advertisement in support of JYJ.

By Lim Ji-sun

The Internet broadcasting site “ilovejyj.com” went into operation on Mar. 3. At 8 p.m. that evening, the time of its inaugural broadcast, the server went down, flooded by Internet user connections. Fans of the trio JYJ had come storming in to watch. The inaugural broadcast ended up being pushed back a day, with additional special inaugural broadcasts held on Mar. 5 and 6.

The site began service through the concerted efforts of fans lamenting the fact that JYJ has been unable to appear on terrestrial television networks. Funding and staffing for the site’s inauguration consisted purely of donations by fans. Some seventy fans, including 13 production team members, three video team members, seven web page production staff members, three sound team members, and seven Chinese and Japanese translators, lent their talents for the production.

JYJ is a team formed by Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu, three members of the group TVXQ. In July 2009, the three of them filed a lawsuit to annul their exclusive contract with SM Entertainment. In the process, they publicly disclosed unfair provisions in the contract, including a 13-year term of service and revenue sharing of 0.4 to 1 percent of record sales. In October 2010, they released their first album, “The Beginning.”

Fans, however, were unable to see their faces on terrestrial networks. Yoochun enjoyed skyrocketing popularity last year with his starring role on the KBS miniseries “Sungkyunkwan Scandal,” but was shunned by music video networks and entertainment programs.

An entertainment show producer at one terrestrial network admitted, “Entertainment show producers will not even consider talking to JYJ out of fear that it will spoil their relationship with the big entertainment management agencies.”

On Feb. 21, the 51st civil agreements division of Seoul Central District Court, under Judge Kim Dae-ung, delivered an indirect compulsory performance order ruling that SM Entertainment “is not to disrupt the entertainment activities of JYJ” and that “if it violates this [ruling] it must pay 20 million Won for each violation.”

The situation did not change. A cable network also abruptly canceled its plans for the “JYJ Reality Program,” which was to begin airing in mid-February.

In response, fans took it upon themselves to set up the Internet network, but running it has not been easy.

JYJ’s public relations official said, “The Internet site was made by fans, so there has been formal discussion on whether JYJ will appear.”

When a video featuring Grand National Party Lawmaker Chun Yu-ok offering her congratulations for the site’s inauguration went up on Mar. 5, fans objected strenuously, arguing that the broadcast “harms JYJ’s image.” As of Tuesday, the site’s managers had temporarily suspended broadcasting, leaving an apology for the content of the broadcast.

Meanwhile, calls from fans for JYJ’s appearance on terrestrial television have increased by the day. On Feb. 28, 86,418 overseas fans of the group submitted a petition to Seoul Central District Court demanding a guarantee that JYJ would be able to appear on television. On Monday, the “League of JYJ Fans” began posting advertisements in 21 Seoul subway stations, including Apgujeong and Hongik University Stations, bearing copy such as “JYJ, We Support Your Youth” and “Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun, and Kim Junsu, Take the Express Train to Public Broadcasting.”

JYJ’s Fanmade Internet Broadcasting Station Shuts Down After Four Days

The internet broadcasting station established by JYJ’s fans has shut down, four days after its launch. 

The opening of ‘ilovejyj.com‘ brought in an influx of visitors that crashed its servers. The admins decided to push back its official launch to March 4th, but when fans flocked to view the new site, discord began running through all corners of the fanbase.

Fans discovered that pictures, videos, and other content were used without notice or permission. In addition, the admins had attempted to request fan meeting tickets from JYJ’s agency, which brought up complaints about how the admins were arrogantly dictating the direction of the station.

Further issues arose when the station released an interview of a female politician who was discovered to have had no relation or association to member Park Yoochun. Although admins announced an apology and clarification shortly after, fans continued to criticize the station once they found that the admins were “speaking low of member Kim Junsu” in the following broadcast, which eventually led fans to demand that the station be shut down.

On March 8th, the admins posted the following message:

“We would like to apologize for disturbing the fandom, and as of today, this internet broadcasting station will be closed. The staff members, who are currently working to close it down, are all worried about what negative effects this will have on JYJ. We felt that this short term broadcasting station caused bigger confusion every time our content or broadcasts were reported to the public.

Under the belief that no one would trust the remaining staff members anymore, we mutually decided to close the station.

We would like to express our genuine apologies towards JYJ and their families, their agents, and associates. Everyone watched over our intentions with positive views, and we are thankful and apologetic for the help and support we have been given.”

A representative of the station added, “Due to my carelessness, I have wounded JYJ, their families, and all of their associates who agreed to an interview with us. For that, I would like to bow my head in apology. Our internet broadcasting station will be closing because of my carelessness. For a hundred times over, I would like to apologize.”

JYJ’s Internet Broadcast Station’s Representative Apologizes and Takes Responsibility

In the midst of the sudden closing of the internet broadcasting station made by JYJ’s fans, a netizen who worked as the representative posted an apology.

At the front of the internet broadcast station’s cafe, the individual started off by writing, “I apologize for keeping you waiting for such a long time. I’m Helena, the former representative for the internet broadcast station.” 

She continued, “Because of me, JYJ, their family, interviewers, and fans were hurt. For this, I bow my head and give my deepest apologies. I am especially sorry to the parents of the three members, so today, I first went to go see Jaejoong’s parents to deliver my apology. As soon as I get in contact with the parents of the other two members, I will go to apologize directly.” 

Helena, who saw the closing of the station as her fault, stated, “To those who became members and to the hardworking staff, I am very sorry and thankful. Also, to everyone who stood by with interest and affection and, although bitter, even to those who denounced us… I sincerely thank you.”

Jaejoong stars in Elle at TV movie short and hints at JYJ world tour

JYJ’s Jaejoong recently appeared on television in an advertisement “movie” for Elle at TV.

The short “movie” entitled, Movie Style: Jaejoong’s Part showed the singer as someone who seems perfect, but retracts into depression and sadness when he’s alone, which is when he becomes “Killer J.”

A member of the film crew stated, “Whether it’s because it’s been a while since he’s been active, Kim Jae Joong has returned with an incredibly mature feel and has played the role of ‘Solo Killer J’ to the point that you can get confused with his actual personality.”

Jaejoong himself stated, “With getting my heart ready for JYJ activities and the fact that the preparation flowed well with the calm concept of ‘Movie Style’, I’m looking forward to the end product.”

He added, “Though it’s not solid yet, we’re readying for an American album as well as a world tour.”

Movie Style: Jaejoong’s Part will air on the 18th at 11PM (KST) on Elle at TV.

110306 JYJ Staff Member’s Blog Post Part 4

Having a strong sense of responsibiity, Leader Jaejoong 

I uploaded a post with this title yesterday…but then I removed it (as you may already know) I was in Yokohama at that time and I reacted to a comment to my post…and without thinking I deleted it on my iPhone.

The reason for this is not due to any attack from antis but actually a comment from a JYJ fan.

Readers told me not to take it to heart…but these fans love JYJ too..so I didn’t want to ignore this comment…because for JYJ their fans are precious…

So then I asked myself, “Aren’t I getting too cocky, writing this kind of stuff…” Didn’t I write this to tell the fans how the three members are walking forward towards their future?…Didn’t I write this to give happiness and hope to the fans? So what’s the need of me to keep doing this?! Have I become the Messiah or something??? ….Why did I get arrogant….this I asked myself.

So what was the comment I reacted to?…It was just this one comment.

“It’s all only about Jaejoong,huh…”

Gaann!!!! (T/N: sound of surpise/shock)

No matter how trivial, fans want to know every move of the boys….I hadn’t been answering to these feelings at all…My idea had backfired… “Hey, what about stories about Yoochun?…What about Junsu?”…is it all finished?…Fans might be questioning like that right?….Sad faces of girls float in front of my eyes…I’m sorry…for not being able to answer to these feelings…

And there were also comments telling me to stop selling information

It was painful…I pondered over it for a day.

Also if I apologize, worry will be the result…I don’t have any more stories so I will finish it here.

But still there will yet countless other fans reading this…and others who commented too (the comment that led me to delete this post seems to have been erased. But I read all of it so I’m really sorry)
But…I want to post one more time, is that okay?
The post that I impulsively erased, there are still other fans that want to read it…I can’t ignore that either…
There might be objections this time too but…there will come a time when I will write about Yoochun and Junsu too so please be patient.

Here is the story. I tried to reproduce it from my memory as best as I could.

So one day
I was heading over to the site.
Suddenly, I was asked to interview Jaejoong…as I was heading there on the car I was asked to ask this and that which I put as memos on my iPhone.

When I arrived at the site, there was a lot of staff everywhere. Maybe it was because I was a bit nervous but I didn’t realize at first when Jaejoong was calling my name from faraway.
I sat down facing him.
It was a little bit odd…Everyone was watching….and either way it was a bit awkward…
Just when I was going to say, “Let’s relax a little bit,” Jaejoong jokingly said let’s relaaaxx~~.
So in turn he was the one that stopped being nervous (shameful of me T/N: because he was the one interviewing Jaejoong) and asked him various questions.

Their theme was going to be Tokyo so I asked questions regarding Tokyo..we branched off into other topics from there too.
For example things like, when you cook something for Yoochun what do you usually cook? And for Junsu? In the end I asked him quite a lot of things in detail.
After finishing with the last question, we stood up, shook hands then hugged. With him, he will definitely always give a hug.
He promptly lets you know his feelings. It’s amazing right? He has this attitude of caring so much about every detail.
But I still got the feeling there was something he wasn’t telling me…

Shortly after it came out, I had been right.
“People from various countries are going to be seeing this right? I know they now know that Tokyo is the theme but doesn’t this seem a bit too Japanese biased?..I want to leave a message for the other fans too!” Jaejoong said.

Amazing. He had been thinking about this to such an extent.
The things we had already talked about were good enough but I wanted to respond to his feelings.
“Do you want to take it again?” I asked.
So then we sat back down and this time, talked more about his thoughts regarding other countries.
This time he seemed satisfied.
Without hesitation, I think he was very pleased to have been able to take it again.
Jaejoong, he really has comprehended what he has to do.

He knows exactly what he wants to say the fans. That’s why he hadn’t felt satisfied at first…
This is the strength of their sense of responsibility.
What he’s looking after is a huge responsibility, but he really is strong in pulling together JYJ. And he also has strongly put his trust in Junsu and Yoochun.

If you think about it he’s kind of like the character An-Chan from the drama “Hitotsu Yane no Shita” (T/N: Means Under One Roof) *laugh*
Is it only me that thinks this way?

JYJ Fans Kick Off Their Subway Advertisement Campaign

JYJ’s latest fan-created ads are firing up the internet.

On March 7th, a netizen uploaded 4 pictures of the ads that were placed in Seoul’s Sinchon and Hongdae University stations.

The ads focused on the figures of Junsu, Yoochun, and Jaejoong, and it proudly declared, ”JYJ, we support your youth“. The ad in Hongdae University station specifically says, “Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun, Kim Junsu, ride on the public TV express train“.

The ads were created by JYJ’s fanclub, and beginning on March 7th, they can be found in the districts of Sunreung, Jamshil, Shinchon, Hongdae, Gundae, Kangbyun, Apgujung, Chungmuro, and 3rd Jongno. In addition, the fanclub has arranged to place 21 different screen door advertisements at subway stations.

Approximately $160,000 USD were raised for these ads, and the fanclub invested some of that into their initial ad campaign for the boys back in late January, when they put up posters on 120 buses all over Korea. The message from that month-long campaign also read, “We support your youth“.

[Trans] ILoveJYJ.com Jaejoong Day Interview with Family Part 01 – JJ’s Adorable Childhood

A special way of education

The background behind the birth of “Insa” Jaejoong (T/N: “Insa” is the Korean word for saying hello or goodbye—in this context, it means saying hello to one’s elders)

Father: So, for that, our Jaejoong… on relationships between the seniors and the juniors there are a lot of cases like that, but on saying hello, I really taught it well—killed it.
Even when he was young, like when he comes home from school, he was the boy who said hello ten times if you met him ten times that day.

Mother: So one day he says—

“Mommy Mommy’

- What

“Mommy you know the Ajusshi (T/N: non-young man) upstairs… but I met him ten times (today). So I said hello all ten times but later the Ajusshi goes “Hey you dork (T/N: not quite the literal translation, but know that the name he calls JJ is rough but affectionate), stop saying hello, you dork. It’s ten times today!! And he just really scolded me… cuz I said hello ten times.”

- The Ajusshi is doing it because he finds you cute (T/N: literally, pretty, nice), it’s not that he’s scolding you, he’s doing it because you’re too lovable (adorable) because you’re so good at saying hello you’re cute.
“Ah~ I see^^”


——————————————-
Did he have the disposition to become an entertainer?

Kim Jaejoong opens his eyes to Fashion.

Older Sister: When we used to go to Everland (T/N: a theme park in Korea) Jaejoong was in elementary school. But when we used to go to Everland I liked clothes quite a bit, and at that time Sechs Kies (T/N: a Korean idol group) was in. There was this Burberry-style coat that Sechs Kies wore.

But that coat was gray. Something that really bling bling celebs wear. But I was working in the store one day and someone just wooshed by. I looked and it was Jaejoong. For my part, I was so embarrassed. This tiny kid came wearing his older sister’s clothes—how embarrassing is that. So I told him openly “Hey… hurry up and go home and change, change”… I told him that.

Jaejoong… for his part, in that young mind that he had, he had come wearing that in order to look cool, and his sister does not say that he looks good (T/N: literally, nice, pretty) but instead tells him to hurry up and go home and change… at that time he felt upset at his sister for the first time, he told me that story.

So because of that I wonder whether he had the “disposition to become an entertainer” from then on…
When he was younger he did straighten himself looking at the mirror before going to (even) the supermarket, but when he got to middle school it started to get worse, and

When he went outside and he wore clothes… now a bit before that he used to even wear his sisters’ pants.

Because he had so many sisters he used to even wear our high-waisted pants for quite a while. Probably there are some pictures of that.

But starting one day, he asked Mom that starting middle school to (buy) him clothes too… so
(it seemed that) from then on he was embarrassed to wear clothes that his sisters wore around all the time…

——————————————-

We hear that his sisters doted on him

Older Sister: Ne~~ver could he possibly come home after being beaten up (by others). The eighth (sister) is only one year apart from Jaejoong and she was in the same grade as Jaejoong because Jaejoong was born in the early months of the year (T/N: in Korea, if you are born in the early months of the year, you go to school with children who were born the previous year), and so although it was often that they would fight at home, when Jaejoong would get a blow at school, she didn’t stay put. Even if it took grabbing onto his hair and shaking him, Jaejoong never got hit.

Really… I shouldn’t say this on air but there were talks about Jaejoong’s sister being a gangster, they really were afraid of the sisters to that degree.
Jaejoong, under the protection of his sisters, probably didn’t get hit, at least.

——————————————-

Mother: So… his sister bought him a radio. The thing wasn’t a recorder, it was a radio that you could listen to, she bought him that. Like, I’ll buy you this, so study hard.

So she bought him the radio but Jaejoong didn’t study but now started to like the songs of H.O.T. (T/N: a Korean idol group)… since he liked them so much now, his sisters would by him the tapes and like them together.

So… now Jaejoong… he said that he had the thought that “ah… if I learn like this I feel like I can also become a good (entertainer) like this…” thoughts like that.

So from middle school on, “Mommy when I grow up I’ll be an entertainer.”

He even pierced his ears and would wear earrings during break but when he’d go to school then he’d take them out.

And for his hair, he’d practice on it—he’d dye them blond, then in red… so I said

You dye your hair in black right now…

(and he says) Mom I did something like this for the first time, can you please forgive me (and let me keep my hair)

So I told him, keep the hair for the vacation but once school starts dye it black… and he says yes.

[Trans] ILoveJYJ.com Jaejoong Day Interview with Family Part 02 – JJ’s Runaway Story

The Greatest Sponsor (of them all) was the Lady at the PC-Room (T/N: A PC-Room is a form of internet café that is prevalent in Korea. People pay the PC-Room to use its computers (often to play computer games.))

Mother:

So we say, you don’t study and you only go to PC-Rooms

So we scolded him and the sisters also go

Mom, Jaejoong went to the Arcade… But if you went to the Arcade, he wouldn’t be there.

So in the neighborhood there was a PC-Room, and if you go in the afternoon, the Ajumma (T/N: non-young woman—the female equivalent of “Ajusshi”) there would let you (play for) an hour if you just brought 500 KRW (T/N: approx. 0.50 USD), saying you’re good to have come (T/N: literally, “pretty,” “nice”)

(Jaejoong says to the PC-Room owner) “You know, I~ I’m going to sing in order to later become a singer. Would it be okay if I practice my singing here?”

- Okay, you come in the afternoons when there are no customers.

So whenever school got out, Jaejoong would just disappear.

But later—the Ajumma told me…

Well, as for Jaejoong, he didn’t say it (to us), he didn’t say that he practiced in the PC-Room.
But the PC-Room Ajumma said—

When (it became known that) Jaejoong was going to debut as an entertainer and become a singer

Then the PC-Room owner, the Ajumma said—your son, he practiced so much in our house (T/N: the PC-Room—this is a way of friendly speech)

When he came, I’d tell him, oh you’re so cute (T/N: literally, “pretty,” “nice”), come practice and sing, and I’d give him time (to do so in the PC-Room)

And he really became a singer. Really, I am just too happy… she went on like that.

So I did hear that Jaejoong had done all that.

He didn’t practice separately at home, or practice to others or anything like that.


Older Sister:

Jaejoong ne~ver would practice at home.

He didn’t do it in front of us or our parents

He has never shown his singing in front of his family, except for the youngest sister Su-young.

So we were also wondering—is Jaejoong really that good at singing? So we were wondering that, and he was really that good.

But our mother, she’s a very good singer.

So his humming to himself (instinctively), it seems that he did it from birth.

As for his dancing, for me I can’t tell whether he dances well.

Jaejoong… he is a good dancer, but when he dances, I can see his face and

I find it so funny, I just can’t watch him.

————————————–

Did you not oppose (Jaejoong becoming a) singer?

The Kim Jaejoong Runaway-Story


Mother:
So in the beginning he became a high school freshman and he goes

“Mom, can I become a singer?”

- A singer, what (kind of a question is that)? Just study hard. I don’t like such things.

“But still, Mom, I want to be a singer,” he goes.

- You can’t be a singer, I told him

And at first now, he (lost his way) and went wandering off, since we forbade him.

Ah. And so one time we told him to go out and deliver jjazangmyun (T/N: A Korean noodle dish with Chinese roots. It is a popular delivery item. For Americans, imagine becoming a pizza delivery man.) or something to become a singer, and

He really up and went! Because (he thought) that if he slept (in an unsavory place) on the way to Seoul from the station he might get kidnapped for bad things, he walked without sleep for two days. To find a job.

But because he was young and a minor, the Chinese restaurant wouldn’t use him.

He wanted to do even jjazangmyun deliveries but they wouldn’t use him because he was so young. Really he wanted to even deliver jjazangmyun.

So he went to deliver newspapers, and the owner

He found that Jaejoong, whichever way he looked, wasn’t a rotten egg and he was (instead) very cute (T/N: literally, “pretty,” “nice”), and so

(Jaejoong asks the owner) “You know… I haven’t eaten in two days, can you please order some 

 jjazangmyun for me” and so the (owner) orders for him jjazangmyun and a meal and he went and ate, and says

“I haven’t slept in two nights, I’ll sleep just a little bit.”

The owner (says to Jaejoong), you—if I’m going to hire you, you have to give me your address.

“You know… I’m not a bad person. I came out because I want to be a singer. In my house my parents forbade me so I ran away. My house, I have eight sisters. I live in Kongju blah blah (T/N: Kongju is Jaejoong’s hometown). I’m not a bad person so you can hire me.”

So he fell asleep and this owner, he (calls me and says)

Do you have a son? I’ll keep him here, so come and take him.

So the oldest sister who was in Incheon (T/N: nearby city) came and took him.

After that, we asked Jaejoong, do you really want to do it that much, and he answers he really does want to do it.

But still we told him not to, but you know the fifth sister, the one who just had a baby.

The fifth sister and the fourth sister said

If you really want to do it, Jaejoong, do an Audition.

Since the sisters had a car while working,

On a Saturday they took him up there and back.

On the first day he got cut and he entered (into the Audition) the next day, and now

Best Look, Best Body… (T/N: Literally, “Face-Boss” and “(Body) Figure-Boss”) he won something like that, Jaejoong.

———————————–


We heard that the sisters were a big help.


Older Sister: 

So the 5^th sister Yusun (younger than the speaking sister) was like, then I’ll take him up there (to the Audition) secretly

Yusun and Jaejoong, they woke up without Dad knowing and they took the bus up together to Seoul.

That was when everything began.

Jaejoong, he always says, that the fifth sister

The one who helped him become a singer was the fifth sister, he says.

Everyone probably knows. Jaejoong is rea~lly nice (kindhearted).

He’s a guy, but because there were eight sisters and one boy, even his personality when he was young, was a girl, a girl.

A girl to the bone (T/N: literally, “by nature,” “from the sky”).

The sisters, so I’m the fourth and so I’d tell my younger sister to go buy me something, for example to go buy me ice cream. I for sure told the fifth sister, but

In the end Jaejoong would go out and buy it.

The order would get passed and passed down until in the end it reached Jaejoong.

Jaejoong, he would have gone immediately if (some other) sister had told him to, but since the sister who was only one year apart from him had told him (to do these things), how annoying is that.

But still, he would go.

Jaejoong is really nice (kindhearted). From the perspective of others, they think things like, Jaejoong, because of the sisters, even his personality is that of a girl.

In some ways, Jaejoong has the strength of a man, but (in other ways) he is soft (delicate)

As he said on TV, Jaejoong really holds it in (endures pain) a lot. He holds everything in, endures it, and

He endures it three times. When I say three times, the “one” time in those three times isn’t the one time that we think of, but rather ten times, combine them and that’s the “one” time (in the three times).

His heart is really that big.

So that’s probably why Jaejoong (*embarrassed*)… that’s why he is so popular. This might be just his sister thinking but…

No More Restriction, JYJ from TVXQ is Racing to be Multi-Entertainers

Despite current legal issue with their former agency SM Entertainment, JYJ finally saw green light in their entertainment activities. Yet eventhough now the restriction of them to appear in TV broadcast has gone, it still needs much time for the group to prepare for their TV performance debut. However the thirst of fans to see their idols is pretty much cured since all three members have been active in their acting career.

Last year Park Yoochun was involved in drama ‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’, and thanks to the successful of the drama among various ages of audiences, he began to receive a lot of drama casts offers. Park Yoochun is currently under final review to be the lead actor of MBC new drama ‘Good Bye Miss Ripley (Good Bye Miss Lovely)’ which is in the middle of preparation and is going to air sometime in June. After finishing coordination of the shooting schedule, the drama filming is scheduled to start in April or May.

Meanwhile Kim Jaejoong is able to be seen through a home theater this year. He will act in an epic drama scheduled to broadcast in second half of the year, entitled ‘Han Ban Do’. He’s mentioned as potential cast candidate and if it’s indeed confirmed, he’s expected to act along actor Jang Dong Gun and actress Ha Ji Won.

Meanwhile Kim Junsu is established himself as a new star in musical stage. He’s been showing an enormous ticket power both in his last year’s musical ‘Mozart!’ and current ‘Tears of Heaven’. No surprise, drama production company has been eye-ing on him ever since. Although rumor of him to get drama cast has been spilled, it seems Kim Junsu will still focus on musical activities for sometime.
