Dear Readers,
We’ve decided to create an “Open Discussion Post” in order to stimulate debate, discussion and exchange of ideas among our readers.
Because in this place you can talk about different issues, it’s important to remind our readers that you must follow the rules in our blog (Read here).
More details:
- ODP will be posted every week starting from today at 12:00 PM EST Time Zone
- Since “Open Discussion Post” is created exclusively for debate, discussion and exchange of ideas, you must not spam here with daily pictures, polls, news, spazz, unless you use the news/picture for a discussion topic. But we recommend our readers to do that in GAPP.
- You can talk about different issues related to JYJ/Kpop/Kdrama/SM/AVEX and other themes here.
- If the comment creates fanwars between JYJ’s fans, it will be deleted by the Admins.
- Since we’re an english fansite, we recommend our readers leave their comments in english because it would be of great help in moderating the comments.
- Personal attacks are NOT allowed.
- No more discussions related to GAPP vs ODP.
- According to how things work here, we can increase the rules to maintain a healthy debate.
Thank you for your attention
JYJ3 Team

Found an interesting article at lunch today for those of you following the SK elections. And for those that aren’t, it’s a good primer.
Presidential politics in South Korea: Bashing the big guys | The Economist http://econ.st/Q16XcH
I find just the general change in attitude a reason for optimism.
Thanks so much Eliza.
I was wondering how much coverage the presidential election was getting in the international press. I’m surprised though, I thought Lee was going for his second term in this election, but the story says he’s ‘out going’. Since it is a three way race, I have a feeling name recognition will play a big factor. I’m pulling for Ahn though. He was instrumental in the progressive candidate getting the mayoral position in Seoul, by dropping out and backing him. This caused her to lose the mayoral spot. Much was made of it at the time because the legislative election was on the horizon, and the conservatives were sweating bullets. They were rather ansty about Ahn running, almost as if they were scared. I see they say the election is in December, I thought it was November. Either way, need to keep an eye open about the election. Again, thanks.
@Eliza
ooohh, thank you (but the link contains cookies(?) it indeed gives me some new information (since I’m not really into politics) n I thought that cheabol is only in drama, so it is real that most of country economics r controlled by them? hoho it’s interesting to find out how the new president candidates want to solve that….n this whole messy entertainment industry is out of nation concern? they should also select president who respect every citizens human right (ugh..sorry, mad me here cuz of JYJ cruel story…)

Go to her house, plead for her forgiveness, say you are sorry and it was dumb mistake on your part. Then beg her to go to lunch and/or a movie with you. Hopefully, that will work! (Also bring signed card that says, ‘I’m sorry). Also, hug her tightly and shed tears!
Let her know that it was a small event, you just wanted to keep it private and you didn’t know being there was that important to her. Let her know that it means so much to you that she wanted to be there to celebrate with you. Tell her, you two can have your own mock event and take her to lunch, have fun and laugh it off.
Real friends make up, even when they are really mad at each other
it’s not a new article, but i think a good article. it’s about jpop (incl avex).
part 1: neojaponisme.com/2010/04/05/the-jimusho-system-part-one/ — links to next part are on the articles, there’re five parts.
Thank you, noiha. The articles are very illustrative. Now, I can understand a little bit more the situation between the boys and Avex.
