The way i became fan of JYJ? Well i think it started because to Kayne West, i was on twitter and there was a crazy video about him doing a song with JYJ. I had no idea who they were but when i saw that video i became a fan immediately after that. Tracing them back to TVXQ
i think they are absolutely amazing and even though then are going through hardships they will get thought it and when they finally comeback is going to be LEGENDARY! FIGHTING JYJ!!
I’ve been a cassiopeia since TVXQ’s first Japanese album when I first heard Jaejoong and Junsu’s voices in song “heart, mind and soul”. It was remarkable. I cried. I fell in love right away. I will be forever a cassiopeia and will support both Homin and JYJ (even though it hurts me for saying their names separately).
My first approach to Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu was through Mirotic, when they were still part of DBSK. I remember I was into another kpop group at that time, and while voting on polls or watching videos on Youtube there was always this DBSK guys showing up, so I got really curious about it and the first video I watched of them was Mirotic. At that time, Junsu and Yoochun were the members who attracted my attention the most, Junsu because of his dance moves and manly side and Yoochun because of his mysterious look and husky voice.
I started watching more videos of them and Yoochun grew on me becoming my bias. People told me I should listen to their beautiful ballads and so I did…I fell in love with them, I was so amazed of their talents, they totally stood apart from all the other kpop groups I had been listening to. It was when I saw the 3rd Asia Tour Mirotic in Seoul DVD that I knew I had become a fan of them.
Not long after, I found out about the break up…I was very saddened, but I won’t get into details about it, because even now it hurts. But since I loved Junsu’s and Jaejoong’s voices and just everything about Yoochun, for me it was natural to start listening to JYJ more and to be interested in them and their activities, I bought their The Beginning album, and I totally LOVED it since the first time I listened to it, I was so amazed by how they took that step and tried something different, recording a whole new album with new songs in English, doing free showcases in USA, starting anew with their own path….I developed a huge admiration and respect for them, they became my inspiration. Even though I as very sad for the situation and how hard things were for them, all the struggles they had been through, to see them sad or frustrated, it all along with their talents and beautiful music, just made me had very strong feelings for them, and even if I haven’t been there since they debuted, even when sometimes I feel sad for not being able to enjoy their music since the mere beginning, I’m still very grateful to have found them, I’m glad I can call myself a fan now, I’m happy they’re part of my life, even if they don’t even know I exist.
Thanks to them, I found the courage and inspiration to fight for my dreams. I was able to go to Korea last years and stay there for 3 months, I’ve been learning Korean for almost 2 years now, and they’re the main inspiration for me to never give up and keep studying hard until the day I become fluent. I was able to see them, even from far away. Just to be meters away from them and listening to them was enough for me.
I feel like I went out of topic, I’m sorry about that, But yeah, that’s basically how I became a fan. Through their music and beautiful personalities.
JYJ thank you and I love you.
JYJ is the source of my inspiration and my lifeline. I discovered them at the darkest hour of my life and I am glad I did so. Turning to Korean dramas as one of my forms of escapism, I chanced upon watching Yoochun in Sungkyunkwan Scandal, and my first thought at the soundtrack was that it was very different from other dramas I’ve watched.
At roughly the same time, they were featured on Yahoo! for being the biggest boyband in the world, beating favourites like the Backstreet Boys and N’ Sync. Further reading, I realized that they were part of the hugely popular TVXQ, whom I was not particularly familiar with.
I must admit, the moment I heard their voices on Sungkyunkwan Scandal drama’s OST was the exact and precise moment you got me. Jerry Maguire might’ve got Dorothy at Hello, but JYJ got me at Chajatta!
Being a new fan, coming to know of their struggles as artists under harsh conditions made me realise that if you work hard, you’ll reap the rewards in the end. And most importantly, they’ve thought me that no matter what, we have to ‘Always keep the faith’.
I am now a huge fan of JYJ’s music (so is my mom and brothers!), and I shall never stop supporting all of them in pursuing their dreams. I hope that JYJ will forever go on making beautiful music and thrive in all endeavours!
in 2009 my friend was trying to let me see a super junior show called exploring human body i start watching it without any exiting then in ep 9 and 10 TVXQ appear in the show as guests and that was the first time i sow kim jaejoong with his gold hair and from that i start looking for there song mirotic was the first one i listen to and from that moment i could not stop listening to all there song and watching there shows after months sens i know them i herd about the break up and i still from that moment sport them as much as i can i feel sad some times when they appended from all koean shows but i really believe that they will mack it as world wide artiest <3
at first, i’m not korean fan and not jyj’s fan too. but someday my friend showed me a video that i never knew would lead me this way..she showed me “love in the ice” mv.at first i didn’t get what it said since i’m not korean.but later,i got mesmerized by junsu’s voice..it’s amazing..!!i kept pressed reply button for almost an hour?? but i never got bored to kept press on it..then my friend said to me, “why you keep replying the song?you like it?want more mv from them?” and all i could say “yes!!give me more.i want to know them and their songs and don’t mock me if i join you to become a cassie”..my bias is yoochun..that’s why i keep following all bout him (your site is my favorite)..that’s my story..no matter what happen even they split, i’ll always love them n support them.. JYJ fighting!! ^^
I’ve known JYJ because of Park Yoochun through his drama SKKS… why did a workaholic with absolutely zero knowledge on Kpop/ Kdrama suddenly started watching SKKS of all things?!?!? well to make it short — 2yrs ago i got sick who has to undergo all those treatments, didn’t have a choice but to stay home most of the time, was so depressed, only wanted to hear and see “happy things”…thank God my “chemo days” turned to “Chunnie days”…i’ll be FOREVER grateful to Chunnie & JYJ! they kept me happy and made me want to live a life worth loving…me getting sick? i know it was a blessing in disguise… So, how did I become a JYJ fan? i really do think it was FATE and GOD’S WILL…
I didn’t know about JYJ until I saw YC in Sungkyungwan Scandal. I wasn’t even a fan of K pop either until then.
After having learned that YC is a member of JYJ, my getting-to-know journey to JYJ / DBSK / K-Pop started. I did’t realize there are strong vocals like Junsu and Jaejoong have existed so long in K-Pop. I have become aware of all the difficulties and trials that JYJ has been going through since their leaving from SM Entertainment. I have learned these unbelievable corporate tricks and harassement over JYJ and also feel inspired by strength, agility, endurance and grace of these three artists.
I bought two albums by JYJ as well as Junsu’s Uncommitted single album through iTunes. I would love to own their concert DVD someday.
A few months ago, I brought my family to Junsu’s concert in NYC. The venue wasn’t the best condition for his concert in many ways, but all we could witness was his undying spirit, professionalism, talent and passion for singing. I can’t wait to watch JYJ in a live concert someday.
Now, I am anxiously waiting for YC’s new drama to kick off. I hope a major scale of success for YC and everyone in this drama.
For me everything has started with Sungkyunkwan Scandal when I’vebeen charmed not only by the drama itself, but I was amazed by Jaejoong’s voice.I ‘ve started a lot of research to find out WHO IS THE POSSESSOR OF THAT AMAZING VOICE ?!After that Icame to know about JYJ and watched on TV the Drama awards when SKKS was awarded.We, here, can watch KBSworld and New Year’s Eve in that year had a special meaning in this respect. Now I’m in love especially of their music , with a STRONG FEELING FOR JAEJOONG AND YOOCHUN .Now I know and suffer along with them and all their hardships AND FEEL PROUD AND SO HAPPY FOR EVERY SUCCESS AND VICTORY!
Once upon a time…err wait no, this is a real story. But I do have to backtrack a bit, back in 2007 when I accidentally stumbled upon a video of their singing. At first I could not believe that they were actually singing live, but I rapidly learned that yes, those were there actual voices. And I became a fan, of their singing, nothing else. Honestly I found them to be too perfect, too beautiful, too contrived, they looked and acted like a carefully formulated mix of what big wig execs thought teenagers would be interested in, which of course immediately turned me off. Normally, I would have written them off completely, but there was something about their chemistry that made me think it wasn’t all fake and of course their voices were the real deal. Like JaeChun’s “Melody and Harmony,” that kind of chemistry cannot be forced, you really felt their brotherhood in that song. But to be honest, I was a casual fan, I didn’t know the fan chants, I didn’t know their names, I didn’t keep track of their schedules or whereabouts, and it didn’t even cross my mind to travel overseas to see them in concert.
I heard about the split in 2009 and I thought, good for them, because I’m a proponent of small business and that nothing good comes from a company getting that big and powerful *and I may be slightly paranoid*. What I don’t like about K-pop is that these management companies get a hold of these kids and take out all imagination and creativity and individuality, everything to me that makes music, well, music. They are dictated what to look like, what to act like, how to dance, what to say, what to sing and how to sing it, I mean just because a puppet is pretty doesn’t make it anything more than just a puppet.
It wasn’t until after watching the entire SKKS series that I saw a news item about the main lead being a former member of TVXQ and I thought no way, because of course I was a stupid Kdrama snob and thought idols had no business acting. And that made me realize that my distaste for idols were seriously clouding my judgement b/c he did so well, I never would have guessed he was a rookie actor. So I went on to find out what he was doing and was surprised that he and two other members were banding together. I looked into what was happening because of the lawsuit and that made me really side with JYJ. I mean, who wouldn’t root for David versus Goliath. Besides having crazy good voices, these boys also had balls of steel because in Korea, doing this sort of thing, is super rare, and pretty much suicidal career wise, unless you plan to move to another country. I became a better fan, supporting them as much as I could and getting into some epic mind numbing battles with OT5 stans and HOMIN stans. Honestly, I began getting tired of the whole thing. I was never the girl with posters of stars that she liked on her walls, never the girl that knew the complete bio data to her favorite singer, I never attended a concert where one band was the main act, I just didn’t get obsessed like that, I like music for the sake of music and I get bored easily with one sound. And then their Music Essay came out and I was floored. I knew they could sing, I knew they could write, I knew they were a talented trio; I never knew they sing so honestly from the heart like this. After listening to the album for a full week on repeat, I became a full fledged fan, a fan of their music, a fan of their sound, a fan of who they are as individuals, and a fan of the change they were making in the Kpop industry.
I’ve always struggled a bit being born and partially raised in one country and then moving to another. The struggle to straddle these two backgrounds is something that I always viewed as a curse, to have to be something I’m not, to have to act and sound a certain way just so I can simply blend in with the background, just to be part of the society. And I think that is what really makes me identify with JYJ. To remember to be okay being myself, to not let the people around me dictate who I am as a person, to not let others sway my beliefs and standards, and to Always Keep the Faith.
I was a fan of JYJ through TVXQ and watching them through Banjan (or is it Banju) dramas, however, it was not until their separation from SM Entertainment that I saw how unjust and unfair they were treated. With all the obstacles and intrusion from places, they stood their ground and became one as JYJ. They started from scratch and supported each other in thier individual field of dreams, such as acting and musicals. I see they did not need their agency or a big agency to promote them but they promote themselves and for that JYJ fans from around the world loves them. Although, I live in America, I don’t read any news of the other 2 TVXQ members being recognized in Germany, or Latin America. They single-handled gave a free concert in America due to unforseen reasons, and for that I was grateful because, I saw how beautiful they are as singers and multi-talented individuals. I love JYJ individual because they have their own unique colors, but together they are one and helping spread kpop wave, their music, dramas, musicals, also they are PR ambassadors UNAIDS and other areas. I believe they bring hope and joy to younger ones that look up to them. 3 years ago, after the separation from SM Entertainment, their names was taboo to be mentioned on Korean TV stations such as variety or radio stations, but now, I saw Happy Together with Beast GK, and he mentioned Junsu’s name as a FCMEN member. Even rookie group Fiestar look up to him and JYP new artist Baek Ah Yeong wants to collaborate with Junsu. Everyone, from artists to politician praise JYJ for their efforts and they are satisfied with that but most importantly, their love to their fans keeps them strong and for that I will continue to support them through thick and thin. Although it sad that they are not on TV, I am just happy that they are happy because that’s all that matters. JYJ, JAEJOONG, YOOCHUN AND JUNSU KEEP ON FIGHTING. Always keep the faith and I will keep the faith along with you.
I became fan of them since 2011, it just kinda late that I knew them first in 2011 through their works when they were in TVXQ, my friend gave me an mp3 song of ‘Don’t cry my lover’ which is composed and written by Jaejoong, I had to admit that their harmonization is really good, then I started to search their other songs on youtube; Mirotic, Wrong Number etc, which pulled me in deeper to become their fan (I fancy Junsu’s voice, in fact) ..Long story short, I finally knew that Jaejoong, Yoochun, And Junsu left their former company then formed JYJ… In Heaven is the songs that truly made me a JYJ fan…after knowing that Jaejoong composed it on his own, I knew that they’re talented Idol…alongside with Junsu’s musical works and Yoochun drama…
moreover I really appreciate their courage to left their former company in order to be free in pursuing their dreams which is not easy to do…knowing them, fancy them, I learn so much about hard work, and always do the best in everything…besides their bound with each other is just completely amazing, they support each other like brothers, a family..from the video I’ve watched I really like their personalities which is simply wonderful and humble. I dare to call them a truly musician and entertainer… this is the very first time of my life I fancy artists/singers to this stage (to the stage when you fall in love with them deeper and deeper each day).
I learn about something really important from them, that life indeed is a choice… they choose to be JYJ, they choose their path to be what they are now…they earn it, they work for it…and they did it… so no matter where you are, as long as you believe in what you choose and work hard, you’ll be succeed…. for me JYJ is not just my idol, but my inspiration as well… I do love them all (especially Junsu, that I almost admire everything on him
) I just hope that they would continue to pursue their dream, keep making a marvelous piece of art.. and stay humble so that they can inspire many people as I believe they do….
Thinking about the question of how I became a JYJ fan is somehow more difficult than I expected. There is no absolute answer, no sole reason I can give, but there are the little things that made me respect them more and more over the years.
The first time I ever heard of them about five years ago trough the japanese version of their song “Love in the ice” together with DBSK.
It was pure coincidence that I got to know them, I can’t even remember anymore. But I know that I clicked on a video named “Dong Bang Shin Ki – Love in the Ice live” and I was mesmerized by their voices, their professionalism and the raw emotions I could hear, even though I could barely speak japanese then and only understood bits and pieces.
Love in the ice was, for at least 2 months, the only song I knew of them and I only ever listened to the live version, going as far as downloading it and falling asleep with my headphones in my ears and this song.
I didn’t know a single thing about them besides the band name and this one song, not even the members names.
Only after a few weeks did I research, listened to other songs and my respect for them grew. There wasn’t a single song I didn’t like, but Love in the Ice stayed my all time favorite. I remember listening only to their live versions because it was how I first got to know them and how I fell in love with their voices.
The first songs studio version I listened to was Mirotic, though again only after listening to the live version. I wanted to know the members better and watched the video. Thinking back I can’t believe I had so much patience and didn’t look up the members and their every quirk after the first song. I did that months after that, though, but I don’t regret it.
My love for them and their music grew and I wanted the world to know of this great group named Dong Bang Shin Ki, so I started to include them in everything I did – I turned the volume of my music boxes on so loud when their songs were played, I talked about them whenever someone was willing to listen and I even icnluded them into any creative schoolwork I could.
Then came the break up. I was in denial for a long time and I refused to believe that my favorite group ever would split up – I mean how could that be possible? Those five boys aren’t like other fickle groups, I told myself, they get along splendidly, they woud never to that to me, to all the Cassies – but they did.
I never was angry at them, but tried to find the blame somewhere else, and when rumors about SM misusing their power leaked out, I though that I had found my culprit. It was all their fault, how could they be so selfish and take so much for themselves without giving anything to those who earned it, worked for it?
But as time passed, I realized I was being petty – maybe it was SMs fault, but then why would Yunho and Changmin stay there? Did they maybe come to an agreement? Then why are Jaejoong, Junsu and Yoochun not going back?
I realized that I couldn’t blame anyone without knowing anything. Rumors are just that, rumors, and though there might be a little truth in them, I can’t know.
So I waited, and JYJ was formed. The first few months I thought of them as a subgroup of DBSK, whom I now called TVXQ or Homin, to differate between them as five and them as two. But they wer never a sub group, they were always JYJ, three very talented and brave men who have my utmost respect.
I tried blocking out every negative comment I saw, and even though I still hoped for them to reunite, I never again allowed myself to compare the two groups – TVXQ were TVXQ and JYJ were JYJ. They were different people and made different music. Music, which I loved even more than I could have ever imagined. I bought JYJs first album and listened to it repeatedly, again and again, over and over.
And even though they still had a hard time, they gave their best for us. I hoped that they knew just how much I and others fans appreciated that. They had so much going on and there were just so many antis, writing, sending and screaming things about them that never should be uttered to another human being, no matter who it is, yet they always smiled and worked for us. I even went as far as trying to meditate and send positive emotions across the globe for them, hahaha. That was a pretty embarrassing stunt I pulled, but well – what can I say? I guess I wanted to give them at least a little bit of the love and devotion the had for us back, through whatever comical means necessary.
As of now, I am patiently waiting for a new JYJ album while following each members activities and trying to give them as much support as possible. Usually I’m not one to follow a groups members individually. It is, after all, that groups music I like in the first place, and there is no other band I do this for but JYJ. I love their solo nearly as much as the group work and I wish them succes and happiness in everything they do. I watched all of their dramas, and musicals, listened to their solos and I am so proud to see them improving and developing so much. They have come a far way and whatever the world has in store for them next, I am happy to know that they have each other, their friends and families and us to support them.
Whenever they smile, I smile and whenever they are sad and tired, I feel for them. I might not have the right and possibility to hug and comfort them, as I am only a fan and want to respect their privacy, but I hope for whatever stone gets in their ways, their families will continue to love and support them, as well as the fans.
I want to thank JYJ for everything they have done for me, no matter how indirectly. They might not know that somewhere in a foreign country a 17 year old girl admires them so much, but that’s alright. They brighten my day and lift my mood, so I hope we can do the same for them with our support!
By the way, I can’t wait for Junsus concert in Oberhausen! (;
My utmost respect and love,
Melisa
How I became a JYJ Fan? It all started when I came across their Japanese song Itsudatte Kimi Ni! I was taking Japanese classes at the time and was looking for more Japanese songs to listen to. That’s when I stumbled into them. When I frist saw the album cover I was attracted right away because I thought the guy (JaeJoong) standing in the center of the album cover was sooo cute.. and he has been my bias since then. I should give this album a try and boy was that a good decision! After falling in love with their voices in the song Itsudatte Kimi Ni.. I went to look up who this group was and found out that THEY WERE COMING TO LA for a Showcase and watched Micky’s Seungkyungkwan Scandal drama. I absolutely love their vocies in Found You. I got to see them live singing Found You and some of their songs from their American album. I completely melted and then a few months afterwards they came for their World Wide Tour!!! They were so goood live!!! The more I see them and their interactions with each other, I can truely feel that they genuinelly love each other. After seeing them stand up for what they believe in, I totally fell in love with this group, and the rest is history.
I honestly feel that I was really lucky to have came across such a talented group at the right time and was able to see all their performances in LA so far.. I cant wait for more to come. Wolrd Tour 2!! ^^
I became a fan of JYJ since the day the name was born. Before that, even up until the point when “The…” was released, I was a fan of these 3 boys from DBSK whom I thought I wanted nothing more but for them to come back to the group I had been worshipping since debut. But when “The Beginning” came out and “JYJ” was written proud and clear, I realized that a road must be and had been chosen. And for better or for worse, I will stick to them until the end.
I have never before in my life liked a celebrity, nor any person at all, the way I like JYJ. I used to see fans screaming and crying when they see their idol, and I would think “how immature and dumb”. Early 2009, I wasn’t into kpop at all, nor kdrama or jdrama.. I only watched anime. My elder sister started to get into Kpop little by little. She had a whole play-list of Asian songs and MVs, when she showed them to me.. I remember saying things like: ewwww, they are ugly. Thinking back, I must have been blind O_o! I wasn’t used to Asian men, I liked the standard big Western men. My sis wasn’t even specifically a fan of TVXQ either.
HOWEVER, we shared the same PC, so when I worked on my school projects I would listen to her play-list, and whenever I heard Mirotic, Bolero, why did I fall in love with you, love in the ice, wrong number… I would replay them without realizing it. As soon as the song ended I would replay it again and again. I didn’t even realize the same group sang all those songs because they had different names in Korean and Japanese: DBSK, TVXQ, Dong bang Shinki, Tohoshinki.. I also couldn’t differentiate between Korean faces. I would listen to them and get mesmerized. I was thinking: wow their harmony is sooo good. Then I recognized Jaejoong’s unique face and realized that the same group sang all the songs I liked. I was surprised!
I got really curious, I wanted to know what they were like in reality. I couldn’t imagine them talking and moving in real life. They seemed like anime figures to me! The first variety show I watched was “The king’s man”.. I instantly fell in love, I could see how humble, modest, fun, cute, and talented they were.
I have to admit, at first Jaejoong was the member I disliked the most, because of his looks, I still wasn’t used to Asian men being beautiful. However, the more I got to know them, the more I liked JJ because of his personality and he is now my bias. Junsu is my second bias. XD
Everyday, I would watch performances and variety shows. When I heard about the split, I didn’t really care much. I thought it was some internal problems and I didn’t understand the whole SM stuff. It only started to sink in the more I got to know them. I would wake up every morning just to read news about them. I only visited allkpop as that was the only site I knew. I would be disappointed when I didn’t find news about them. I couldn’t get enough of them and went off to another site that still supported the 5.
Then the split really started to hurt. X_X It took me nearly two years to finally accept it. When Homin made their comeback and said some things, I knew it was over, and that hurt me most.
But, what REALLY got me into JYJ and JYJ only, was the saseng incident! The day the news came out was a nightmare. At first I was confused and heartbroken, I didn’t understand what sasengs really were. But the feeling to protect JYJ became so strong. I would read people’s comments and see the hate they were getting, people saying things like: JYJ are over forever! It was then that I realized how much JYJ really meant to me. Every bad word from the haters, every bad article, and all the cruel things that were happening at the time would stab me a million times. I couldn’t eat, couldn’t sleep, couldn’t study. I was depressed, and I would say; what is wrong with me? Do I like them this much? Do I care for them to this extend?
Then I came to JYJ3 as I couldn’t stand a day without hearing news from them. I was constantly worried that something bad would happen again, that they would be hurt even more!! T^T
Sigh*** I’m just glad that is over, and they are well and healthy now.
Back to the topic, now, JYJ are everything to me. They make me smile when I’m feeling sad, they pull me up when I’m feeling low, and they make me squeal and giggle when I should be quite in the library XD
My love for JYJ is a secret from my family, only my sister knows but she doesn’t support me, and tells me to stop and that she regrets showing me Kpop
I am forever forbidden to go to their concerts, buy their albums, or even comment here. I cannot share this with anyone. My father will never understand, and if he finds out, he will forbid me from using the internet forever! However, I will NEVER stop! I will forever love them! And if the least I can do to support them is vote on polls or protect them against haters, I will do it! And I dream that someday I would be able to go to their concert, or even see them from afar in the airport/streets. Their happiness is what makes me happy. Whatever path they take, whatever choice they make, even if it makes me sad, as long as JYJ are happy, then I am happy.
PS. Sorry for this super long story, my bad English and grammar mistakes
I know JYJ 1.5 years ago from Tohoshinki. At that time I was very fond of Korean dramas and just started liking anime from Japan, you know the one piece? I am a fan of anime. Every episode ever and if there is a new episode I’d watch it, and also whenever there is new soundtrack I would download it. And at that time I was very interested in the song Share the World, I searched on the singer, and I found it: TVXQ. The first time I saw the five men, my eyes immediately fixed on Hero Jaejoong^^ From then on I started downloading their songs. Seeing their videos on Youtube. And when it finally comes, I realized they were divided into two, it feels so very very congested in my chest . I’ve thought of myself as their fans, but it’s just I do not know … And when I saw the video and compared with the five of them and when they are separated , it feels so sad and creepy.
I always wait for them to five of them again, because I’m so in love with the fifth member. I love JYJ and HoMin also very loving. Perhaps, my bias is Jaejoong, but I really loved TVXQ as a family
I was JYJ fans, and I am a fan of TVXQ, so I have the 2 fandom. I love JYJ, Cassiopeia and booths, so please, do not exist fanwar again, if I could I want our relationship as a family.
Thank you.

I have become of JYJ since the beginning. But I got to know them through DBSK back in 2006 when I first watched a “balloons videos” on TV. I watched in a Peruvian TV program while I was living (still) living in the States I went straight to youtube.com and try to find them and I did!!! At first with the balloons videos and I couldn’t recognized the group members all I kept in my mind was the blondy hair (JJ blond hair) and I saw Yoochun with his black a bit longer hair and I said “OH MY GOSHHHHH HE IS VERY HANDSOME” was my first crush!!! not wanting to leave watching DBSK videos I kept searching for BIOGRAPHY, and I said this to myself “OH MY GOSH THEY ARE MY AGE *almost* (JJ, Junsu, Yoochun and Yuhno, Chagmin was a baby back in 2006).
The first song I got to love about them was “Asu wa kuru kara” and then I found concert version with subtitles and my heart was just broken into pieces, the little were so sad and beautiful of the same time. I graduated University with DBSK <3 I had 2 boyfriends with DBSK which I got to sit them (different time and year obviously) to watch DBSK MV and Concerts LOL.
DBSK/JYJ has been always with me. During my sad and happy days of my life. I can even relate and remain strong emotions from my life and proudly say that was the time when I was listening "begin" or such as and such as song from DBSK/JYJ.
I see them as my role model. They are my age and if they can do so much why not I can't do it. They push me to be a better person, to continue to love and love deeply even if others have been hurt many times. Always to start fresh new because every day is a new day and it is a new future. To always take deep breath and start with a great smile no matter how many times you have been shout down. I learnt from them what means sacrifice, and in this life if you want to reach your goals gotta sacrifice some part of your life.
Now, I'm a JYJ 10000000% fan of these talents guys!!! I live in Miami, Florida and I flew to NYC to see XIAH Concert!! It was like a dream come true and I will never forget.
I will never forget that JYJ has easy my pains and enjoy with every other songs. When I wake up moody I put on JYJ songs suddenly JYJ clean my moody soul away.
And always
Asu wa kuru kara (Because tomorrow comes)
Junsu – is a real angel with his voice and personality
Yoochun – a charming young man with his sexy/husky voice
JJ the stylist man, the man that is the bridge voice between these two young men. It's the union the harmony.
This Group JYJ is THE DREAM GROUP (which any company will die for having them), THE DREAM HUSBANDS (lol) AND THE DREAM FRIENDS.
I don't like them to call them "idols" or "stars" because I don't worship them or unreachable but I applause all their gains and loss and show you that they are human beings and sometimes life is not even fair with them like happen to some of us as well.

Sorry for talking about DBSK, but thats how started my craziness for JYJ. I've been follow them since then.
It’s true–I don’t have a long history with JYJ. But I can pinpoint the moment when I became a fan. During July 2011 (when I was taking an online class and procrastinating a lot) I came upon this fanmade performance video of Empty:
First thought: Who are these guys? They sound great!
Second thought: Where has this song been all my life? I love it so much.
I was so happy to discover that they had an actual, entire album (The Beginning) with another one on the way (In Heaven). A year later, and I’ve seen JYJ in concert once, XIA in concert once, I have tons of great memories, and am so very thankful to have their music–it gets me through the tough times like nothing else.
this video just reminded me why i love the boys so much. they look so hot and sexy dancing!
For me,i can say it started from–> HATE.
To be honest,i was an E.L.F..to be exact,was a Super Junior fan. Oh yeah,who doesn’t know their viral song,Sorry Sorry rite? Lol..so since then,i started to love k-pop. As for a loyal fan,voting for polls are important to the fandom but i really,really hate the fact that we can’t beat this particular group,DBSK. I just don’t give a damn eventhough they r in the same company. It was just so freakin annoying to see them on the top. But did i make my research why they r so undefeatable like that? Nope. And that was a HUGE mistake back then..
Almost 2years past,i saw this one annoying promo (yes,its full of hate,hahaha xD) on tv. ♬Micky,hey Micky..Micky!!♪WHO THE HELL IS THIS? WHY HE DESERVE THIS KIND OF ATTENTION?? Lol!! My goodness my reaction back then,so freakin funny! Like a bimbo,i shouted that and compare him with my biased in SuJu e.t.c..that promo was for Rooftop Prince. I was already hatin’ the promo,how can i watch the drama?? Then i saw another cuts from RTP. LOL! The scene where this ‘Micky’ runnin to the glass door and fell was soo funny!! I felt like i want to see it..the whole drama! So i do that..and..slowly loving this Micky..yes Park Yuchun,u stole my heart that way..and since then,i research bout him and found out he was a DBSK member..i was shocked to knew bout the slave contract case and automatically,become JYJ fan..
As a JYJ true,loyal fan now..i can’t stand to let myself supportin SM’s artist..i wouldn’t let myself ‘feeding’ who once an evil ‘handler’ of them. I really love JYJ musics and talents. They are truly different from all the idols. I was never this proud to be an idol fan,but with JYJ since the very beginning they stood up for their rights,we JYJers,Chunsas,Jaeharems,Xiahpwas are the proudest of all the fandoms.
So yes,this is how i become a JYJ fan..from hate,to growing love for Park Yuchun and then JYJ..i will always support u guys!! LOVE YA JYJ!♥♥♥
Actually i became a JYJ fan from not too long ago, about two months. So here is the story..
August 2012
My country would had SMTown concert on September. Because i used to be Super junior fan, so i planned to go to that concert, and i decided i want to learn about other SM artist who would come along Suju at SMtown concert. One of them was TVXQ. The first song i heard was Mirotic. While viewed Mirotic MV, my eyes got caught by ‘weird but unique hairstyle’ from a boy with blue shirt. Not took a long time, i began fall in love with him. Yeah, he is Park Yoochun.
September 2012
I began searching information about TVXQ. I love them more than Suju because they’re really talented, all of them! I listened to many of their songs, watched their variety shows and MV. And it brought me the news about separation and JYJ. “Why they had to split?” i wondered. Then i knew the reason. Yep, almost same with Hangeng’s reason when he left Suju, cruelty of SM! So i went to SMtown concert with uncomplete heart because it’d be awesome if Yoochun, Jaejoong, and Junsu came to. Day by day, i’m gradually attached to these three talented man. Then i began to listen to JYJ song. I like it. I love it. Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu are the real talents, more than HoMin in my opinion. My blood was like boiling up to know JYJ had been mistreated by SM. So i decided to follow only JYJ, not TVXQ or any SM artists anymore.
October 2012
On this time, I enjoyed myself listened to JYJ’s songs, watched Yoochun’s drama, read news about them, follow JYJ3 posts, made twitter account to support them, join fandom, and felt happy by doing so. I bought their album, bought TonyMoly product they endorsed. I really really want to support them, through any way that possible for me. Not just as artist, they’ll eventually become like my older brothers. And i realize i become a hot-blooded fan of JYJ xD.
November 2012
I’m deeply in love with JYJ. First, it was only Yoochun whom i really like, but now it’s three of them. They show real friendship, brotherhood, and willing to protect each other member. It makes me so proud of them. I’m so touched and inspired with their strong indeed and humble side. i don’t know why, but it is the first time I cry because of artist I like. From JYJ I learn a lot how to keep moving forward, listen to heart, and improve the good sides. From them I feel happy and sad at the same time. Happy because they exist and i have a chance to know and love them. Sad because I really miss them to perform and I’m dying to see them in a concert. I hope they release new album soon, and begin their world tour again ^^.
That’s all JYJ3. Thank you so much for the chance so i could write down my story here. i love you ~^^
I knew about JYJ back then when they were in TVXQ. I discovered this group in 2010, so that was after the split but I didn’t know about that at that time. It’s a friend who talked to me about them and I got curious so I watched a few videos of them.
I still remember that day. the first time of my life I stayed up all night watching their videos. I literally fell in love with their voices, their singing, their harmony. The first time of my life I witnessed that the voice of a man can be so beautiful.
I was so happy to have dicovered such an amazing group. I instantly thought to myself that no other kpop group could compete against them, they just immediately became my favourite group. My everyday since then was full TVXQ, always listening to their songs.
BUT, one sad day I learned the sad truth. TVXQ actually split. I was literally devastated, I could not believe it. I just knew about them I just began to love them so much but they were no more together. First time of my life I cried for an artist, I became so attached to
them that it deeply hurt to see them apart and sad.
After some time I evetually became used to that fat though. How can I not when they are trying so hard to keep going themselves. As a fan I should be strong enough for them. That’s also when I decided to be on JYJ side. Simply because I trust them, I believe in them
and I love them. They were right to leave that company when we think about everything they were going through so I never judged them. And anyway what right do I have to do so. I am only a mere fan listening to their music but if they are not happy when making that music it is completely useless. They first need to be happy to make us fans happy, so I always supported them ans I will always do.
Now looking at the works they do and the happyness on their face we can tell thata they made the best decision. Though I am still very sad when I think about the five of them, about their amazing performances, I just love the music JYJ is making even more. They’ve always been my favourite voices within the group so I can only be happy when I hear them sing. Thanks to them I learned how to always keep the faith once you make a decison. Eventually success will come in the end. Thanks to them I smile a lot within a day. Thanks to them I know what hope and courage are. They made me have dreams.
It is true that I will cry from time ti time when thinking back of their TVXQ days, hoping they were still together but not in that company, but well that is life and their life. It is not about what we want but about what they want.
Now I am overly enjoyed when they are successful, so always since they’re always successful no matter what they do. and I am overly sad when they’re suffering because of all the hardships they are going through. Only we fans, citizens of the Republic of JYJ, know what they are going through, how honorable young men thay are for fighting those thing with such courage and strenght.
I am really very happy that these three men exist and are doing what they are doing. Hope more and more people will fall under their charms and will respect them as the amazing artists they are. One day for sure everything will be over, the evil will lose, and our boys will get to work freely as they deserve it.
Last thank you JYJ3 for being so wonderful! Since the day I discovered this site the first thing I do when I start my pc is to come here and read what’s going on with our dear boys. I hope you will last as many years as JYJ exists, and I hope we only get to see good and happy news about the boys from now on.
Its all began with Skks dvd… At first i was following park min young fr city hunter down to skks.. Then this cutesome micky pyc capture my heart with his sincere action in this drama. And do my homework.. Goggle to find out who is this guy and later i found out he is a singer and a member of JYJ…
Shocked!!! started looking for JYJ song… Immediately falling for their song. You tube is being my best friend until know.. Searching n watching their performance and their short video especially dedicated to their beloved fans…
Later i found JYJ3…. Very useful source of information on JYJ latest news… A must site to open early in the morning and before going to bed. JYJ3 has united fans all over the world as one team …. To support and fight for JYJ!
I believe it was fate that made me walk the path of a Cassiopeian back in 2005. As a Vietnamese 15-year old girl growing up in Denmark I didn’t have too many reasons to get interested in Asian cultures other than my own – which I was not even interested in back then. K-pop was barely heard of in Europe at that time; not to mention Scandinavia.
The first time I saw the boys I still remember vividly though. In the process of doing homework, I started browsing through images on Google. (Until this day I am still unsure of the word(s) I had typed in the search box.) On the first page I saw their picture. You remember TVXQ’s ‘Hug’ single jacket, right? A black and white picture of five young boys. My initial thought was simply, “Oh, they look nice. And then I continued looking for whatever I was supposed to look for. Only few days after I saw the same pictyre while browsing through images on Google. (I don’t remember what I typed in the search box here either.) I couldn’t help but think that it was weird how they were related to what I was trying to look for in Google. So my curiosity started to trigger me to find out more about them.
I found out they were singers, but didn’t look for their music until few weeks after. The first song of theirs that I listened to was ‘Tri-angle’. Not only was it the first TVXQ song that I heard, but it was also the only song that I listened to for weeks. Without watching the MV or even looking for any of their videos, I kept listening to ‘Tri-angle’ for a long time. At some point I did, however,start to feel curious about what voice belonged to which member. Up until that point I had only seen their pictures and listened to one of their songs. When I watched ‘Tri-angle’ MV I was really amazed, because…… how could Jaejoong’s, at the time, feminine self have such a deep and husky voice?! After watching that video, I felt I needed to see more and hear more. Day by day I kept building up my interest in them and started feeling love towards them and the things they did.
As each second passes, my love for them keeps getting stronger. That is how it has always been. In the past I would even tell myself, “I can’t possibly love them more than I do right at this moment.” But now, I’m used to my feelings for them growing. When Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu parted from Yunho and Changmin I had a hard time looking at them or listening to their music for a long time. Current or past; both were equally painful. For some time I took distance from all of them. I thought I would feel a bit bettet that way. Thanks to that time, I realized that the pain I feel when I look at them and listen to them is comforting even when it hurts the most.
There is no way in this world I will be able to stop loving and supporting the three members of JYJ. Even if want to, it will not happen. My heart can’t let go. Being a fan of these three men has become a natural part of me; a part of me that I will keep until the day I die.
HOW DID I BECOME A FAN OF JYJ? Well, first of all I’m a fan of DBSK / TVXQ from the first time I watched their MV called “HI YA YA” (2005), I really like the song and from that moment on I fell in love with them. Five handsome lads with nice vocals, great dancing and beautiful harmonization… what more can a girl ask for ^^v. Later on, it was a heartbreaking moment for me to see them split up, but c’est la vie… And I couldn’t more happier when the three-member group (JYJ) was announced in April 2010.
For me JYJ is like a perfect combination between the talented JUNSU with his great voice and excellent dancing, prince charming JAEJOONG with his angelic voice and a genius song writer and composer YOOCHUN and he’s also good in acting. I love their music whether it’s ballad or up-tempo. And I’m so proud of them, through their hard working they all can achieve success whether as a group (JYJ) or as a solo performer. As we can see they all doing well with their own solo project.
JAEJOONG a multi talented artist has written and composed a numerous songs for JYJ’s albums and he has worked on solo activities as a singer and also has branched out to act in dramas including Sunao ni Narenakute, Protect the Boss, and most recently Dr. Jin, and in films such as Heaven’s Postman. Plus, he served as Executive Director for the Asian leg of JYJ’s 2011 Worldwide Tour. WOW!
YOOCHUN not only he has written and composed songs for JYJ’s albums and he also sang “The Empty Space for You” as one of the Miss Ripley OST and now he also known as a famous actor through Sungkyunkwan Scandal, Miss Ripley and Rooftop Prince where he as the main role. I’ve watched all of his drama series and I really love them all and I can see he is more and more mature in his acting. I can’t wait to watch his new series “I Miss You”, I think it’s going to be awesome as his previous series.
JUNSU best known as a singer with a great voice, so there’s no doubt about it that he will gain success on his solo activities as a singer. I’m so thrilled when Junsu released his first solo album “Tarantallegra” which Junsu directly took part in the production, composing and writing lyrics for most of the songs and I even more excited when I heard that he will be visiting Indonesia on his 1st Asia Tour Concert. It’s like a dream came true, on Saturday, June 16, 2012 there I was standing right in front of him watching his first solo concert, it’s like a magical to be able to hear and see him personally, it was a great concert that I’ll never forget it. I like all of his songs especially “You Are So Beautiful” the Scent of a Woman OST and I also like his latest single “Uncommitted”. Besides a singer, songwriter, he also has branched out to act in musicals and becoming a well known stage actor. His stage career began by playing Wolfgang Mozart, the lead role in musical Mozart! And followed by staring in the Korean production of famous Viennese musical Elisabeth as the transcendental existence Tod or Death, the young lover of Empress consort of Austria, Elisabeth of Bavaria. His excellent performances as a stage actor has rewarded him with numerous awards in various awards ceremonies. Daebak! \(^_^)/
I like JYJ not only because of their hot looking lads but also because of their works, their great music and performances and I do think that they are going to be brighter than before. And I wish that I can be able to see their live performance soon.
Well, I guess that’s all sums up the reason how did I become a fan of JYJ. Best of luck for JYJ! ♥ JYJ Saranghaeyo ♥
How did you become A Fan of JYJ ???
Maybe it just my destiny to love, to protect, to make they proud of me. Maybe i am a ‘late fan’ of JYJ but i promise i will never stop loving them equally. I think, JYJ is ‘The Best Gift’ has given to me (and others). No need perfectness to make me love them, but to love them is make us perfect and ofc we are the best couple in the world (JYJ and JYJfans).
I first knew them during their TVXQ days. They were in the same show as Super Junior (I forgot what it was). At first it was Yunho that caught my eyes. I started listening to their music and I just fell in love with Junsu and Jaejoong (majnly his handsome face keke~~~~). Now I am a JYJ biased fan. I fell in love with Yuchun’s charm after his commercials and dramas. XD
How I became a fan of JYJ? Well I already knew who they were since their TVXQ days. Even though I was a fan of a different group at the time it was hard to be a K-pop fan and not know who TVXQ was, I mean they were everywhere. However, I didn’t really pay too much attention to them at that time. I did listen to some of their songs and I did enjoy watching them on variety shows but I never became a big fan. Later after they became JYJ I started paying more attention to them and I believe it was after I saw the teaser for In Heaven that something just clicked. When that song was released I just fell sooo in love with it and so I listened to the rest of the album and all their older songs. Musically I just fell in l love with their voices and their sound. I went back and listened to their songs from TVXQ and loved their ballads and acapella. Then I wanted to know more about them so I started watching more of their older variety shows and interviews. I finally came across the ever so popular JYJ interviews and the NII Black Day interview in particular was so random and hilarious. They were so dorky and adorable and I thought to myself why didn’t I look them up sooner? But for me to really like a group I have to like the members of course but also their music. To me when I listened to all their music and especially their live performances I just thought wow they are so talented. The energy they bring to the stage and the way you can really see just how passionate they are when they sing. I hadn’t come across many other groups with that same amount of passion. Not only were they talented but they were humble, kind and despite all they’ve had to go through they’ve never given up and always press forward. I found them so inspirational and so after all this I finally said to myself I am officially their fan and since then I just dove into the fandom and watched/supported all their individual/group activities.
It has been a little over a year since I have become their fan and I am so happy I looked into them. They are such beautiful people. Becoming their fan, I feel like I’ve received a lot from them. They have given me beautiful music to listen to, laughs and smiles, wonderful acting to watch, the feeling of being a proud fan, and an inspirational life motto (standing up to injustice and never giving up). I will continue to support then till the end.
Thank you JYJ and thank you JYJ3 for providing a place for us fans to gather and get news. =D
Hm…..when did i become JYJ fans? well…i’m a fan since DBSK day 2004….But i’m more attached to them (as DBSK) early 2005….That time i learned about they journey, they hardship how they become an artist….That make me salute them…..I can’t help but felt proud see them winning every trophies, awards….felt the joys with them….I thought it will be last long…But sadly it didnt…..and the separation 2009…..It’s really hurt…shock, angry….101 emotions…………But in the ends, it’s about them! They happiness is all my concerned….
I choose to be with JYJ its because i saw and felt ‘DBSK’ spirit within them…….why not? i’ve been with them when they’re start as DBSk before..And now i’m starting and start again with them as JYJ……little by little the same process begin but with the kind different methods…Before this, when they starts as DBSK medias, TV program was crazy inviting them to their show but now as JYJ, the new journey and the paths really hard for them..Media as TV entertainment music program run away from them..So many appearance canceled with out explanation (or bulls**t reason)….But still they stood up proudly and calmly lead their own way…..And i think most of us agree they were happy with what they have now…..They freedom, they carelessness most importantly they smiles…..In that every moments it’s make me remember, the felt when i first saw them as DBSK and now it’s repeating when they are JYJ..”Ah..it’s the same feeling” can’t help but felt like that….
They happiness is more important than the trophy and the awards that once got……Seeing them now, i cant help but think “ah…i’m glad i’m with them” especially the moments JYJ make new album, Junsu as successful musical actor, Jaejoong and Yoochun successful transformation to actor…Its bring satisfaction for me……
They are not God…They are human being like us too…so that’s why i accepted they flaws…That’s what i told my self…..I still want to be with them not only in they happiest day but also in they sad times, accept they shameful times and sharing they dark time…..
Whatever happen in the future, i’m always be proud to be called as JYJ fans!
I should answered “How” but then “when” is the time “how” i become JYJ fans too….And oh i wanted to added something…..I’m not ‘cassopiea’….I’m just normal DBSK fans that time….And now i’m proud JYJer!!
I’ve been a cassiopeia since Tohoshinki’s first Japanese album. I fell in love right away at the moment i heard Jaejoong and Junsu’s voices in a song “Heart, Mind and Soul”. I cried. It was remarkable. I wonder if anyone can understand the feeling I had when I heard the angel’s voices. It is the feeling of hearing something new and different, something I had never known before, but somehow it enlightened me.
I will be forever a cassiopeia and I will support both Homin and JYJ (even though it hurts me when I say their names separately). Anyway, ALWAYS KEEP THE FAITH!!
i’m living in north part of Malaysia.. so sometimes i’m able to watch some Thailand’s television channel..so this on afternoon 2005?2004?, after coming back from school..i turned on the television for some MVs programme…then this MV- 5 boys in white came out singing some songs in korean (i know its korean since i watch korean drama),there’s cat etc.. and that time i was soo into boybands.. Nsync, BSB,westlife etc.. so i googled this MV..so the boys is DBSK..
i tend to choose 1 person in group for me to like, u know like kinda wish he was mine, compatible partner etc…so my heart chosed yuchun~ kekeke
i”ve been reading their updates since then, entering japan market, their awards winning, new MVs, variety shows, concerts etc. download all of em. dbsk had concert in malaysia 2 times, couldnt go but i pretend to be in their concert by watching n singing all of their songs~
then in 2008, all the court thing happened. . i’m sad. but i chose yuchun, as always.
i’m glad he chose to be with jae n junsu coz idk i can see his r/ship with jae n junsu are real.
so up till today, i started as dbsk fans.. always love yuchun.. now i’m jyj fan but i still read news bout homin-like i read bout other artists just to keep me updated bout k-entertainment news.
you are in north part of malaysia? where? i stayed in kedah, sintok uum to be precise.. you know, it was quite rare to see JYJ fans here and hard if i want to go to fans-get together in KL.. nice to see you here.. salam kenal..:D
Hey d and indigo marine, are you interested to join our crazy chunsas WA chat? Email to me : jesstayyp@gmail.com. I live in KL!
Like many of you, my first encounter with JYJ is through yuchun’s acting in SKKS. He captured my eyes with his cute chunfaces even in the sageuk drama. I remember his eye & mouth expressions which just made me want to see more of him after every episode. However, i didn’t do much and did not put in the effort to keep the flame alive so i forgot about him..
BUT Rooftop prince came, and i’m caught in the compulsive chunfaces syndrome again & i caught myself searching for his pictures, videos, songs, and anything remotely related to him. This time, i did not let the flame die and started doing much more things to keep the flame burning by subscribing to JYJ3, to keep myself in the know. Seeing how Jaejoong and Junsu are so close and such a big part to chun’s life. I just can’t help to love the 3 of them as i see them more and more. Chun made the way for me to know JYJ but now i can definitely say that i’m NOT just a chunsa. I am proudly a JYJ fan!
this may be out of the topic, but i recently dreamt that JYJ (all 3 of them) stayed over at my place, and despite my bias for chunnie, Jae was the person who made a lot of nice memory in my dream (e.g. he took silly pictures with me & i saw his 6 packed abs too Ke keke). In my dream i remember thinking “I need to write a fan account and send it to JYJ3″) Hehehe.. sad to wake up knowing that it was just a dream, but thankful that i met them in my dream
well this is my story. I’m from Sri Lanka.One day I listened to a song from my country.Though it is a Sri Lankan song It had a korean or jap video.At that time I had no interest on koreans. But when i saw the male lead on the visual I got amazed. I questioed within my self. I asked do koreans look this handsome? Actually the guy on the visual is not Jae. youchun nor junsu but a jap actor. I got to know it later.But afterwards i searched all the korean actors on the internet who look similar to this so called actor who appear on the video.. Then fianlly I found a one similar to that guy. But He looks much more handsome than that guy on the video. He is our none other than Jaejoong.I fell in love with him since that amazing moment. LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.Then i almost forgot about that actor on the video..But till I’m curous about that actor though. That video was about a story based on schools.So I searched all the korean dramas based on school stories. Then I found a one.It is Dating on the earth.Then again I got amazed because my newly explored the most handsome korean actor(Jaejoong) is also there. I watched it and fell for him and i love his big bewitching eyes till then.I read all the comments on the drama and got to know about dbsk and jyj. I choosed JYJ because of Jaejoong and supports them till then.
Well, this is my story. To tell you the truth, I hate Kpop so much at first.
This happened around one year and half month ago. I faced a difficult, stressful, and painful situation that ever happened in my life. I was in college and had the best of friend and roommate. Our friendship had built for about three years at that time. We love sharing problems, laugh and crying together. One day, she was admitted to the hospital for a week because of tuberculosis disease. So, every single day I went to the hospital to visit her even though I was busy with classes and assignments. For me, support is the best thing I can give to her.
With all the classes, assignments, and visiting that I do, I had a problem with my boyfriend at the same time. Well, of course this problem gives me more stress and I really can’t handle that. I don’t have anyone to talk to about my boyfriend problem because the one who always hear about him is my friend who was on bed in hospital. I couldn’t talk about this to her. She is fighting with her disease and it’s better if I left out this problem from her. At that time, I’m barely talking to anyone and just want to be alone.
One day, my friend told me that her disease will be cured but she needed extended treatment for several months. Because of her family lives far away from the hospital and our college, she was told to extend her studies and move to another college which is more close to her house. Well, that means we have to be separated. I don’t know how to describe my feeling at that time. Of course I don’t want her to leave me but I can’t be selfish because of my feeling. And the hardest part is, my boyfriend asks for break up on the same day. I lost my word. I don’t know what to do. I lost two person that I love so much on the same time. Can you imagine?
I cried every night because of the pain, for about 3 months. This sounds so crazy but that’s the truth. I was under depression and it’s affect my menstrual cycle, and lost weight too. Everytime when I heard Malay and English love song, I cried. I cried because I know the meaning. I can feel it. One day, I feel it was going to be worst and I need to stop. I ask another friend who is a Kpop fan to give me Korean songs. So, she gave me In Heaven, Nine, Fallen Leaves, Don’t Cry My Lover and W. I heard these songs every night and it makes me stop crying. When I heard that song, I can feel the sadness but the songs just give me strength not to cry and makes forget about all the problem. I need a fresh start and JYJ songs just encourage me to do so. This is how I know JYJ and become a fan of them. JYJ is really helping me going through my hardest time. I am really thankful for that. From that moment, I want to know more and more about the boys and just at that time, I got to know that JYJ is from TVXQ. To be exact, I got to know JYJ first before I know TVXQ.
Because of them also, I start learn how to play music, as my fresh start of life. When I got to know that three of them can play a piano, I am really shock of their talent. They really give me inspiration to do well in music. They made who I am now. Today, I can play guitar and I still learning on how to playing piano. The first song that I learned for guitar is Insa. I use their songs everyday in my practise .
That was my story. It’s going to be longer but it’s better if I stop here. I never thought these boys and their songs could help me in many ways. For that, I am really grateful for got to know JYJ. I never meet him face to face, but hopefully that day will come. I love three of them. Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu, please keep bring us happiness in our life.
Love, from Malaysia.
Since 2000, I was fascinated with the Korean drama and learn their culture and language but KPOP?Totally big No NO!!I start to listening to KPOP after “idol turned actor” syndrome has come (2008, maybe) and try to figure out their songs, but seriously I don’t have any particular bias towards boy band and I listen all song as long as is good to hear and in the same time I also want to improve my Korean.
Micky?DBSK?I know it, they are very famous but I just ignore and didn’t listen their song, because I prefer ballad song. I watch SKKS and I know he is Micky ex-DBSK and now in JYJ, but still he didn’t steal my attention!
One day, I search into internet to look for new K-Drama and I found RTP. So, I read the synopsis and I found out the story is quite interesting, because it kinda a fantasy, so I decided to download it. Actually, I already late because it is already been broadcasted a few weeks ago and I download first two episodes just want to know whether the drama is worth to watch or not.
Then, my craziness towards Yoochun is started after I watch two episodes and I was addicted with the drama and I want more..more and also I want know more about Yoochun. So stupid that he was the person that I ignore for a few years before,,so funny and I try to contact my friend who r known to be Cassiopeia to know about yoochun and the fellow members, I did research about yoochun and people surrounding him and no wonder why people admire into DBSK and also why people are really sad and frustrated about the separation. Because of yoochun, I fall in love with JYJ and will support them no matter they are. Now, I’m under JYJ spell and I will love them forever!!Thanks Yoochun for brighten my days and of course other JYJ members who make me smile!!Always keep the faith and stay calm and love JYJ!!Yeahh!!
I’ve started watching Korean dramas since I was like 3 years old. I first discovered kpop thru TVXQ. They were very famous in my country back then(around2005). I never actually paid attention to them becuz I thought they gained fame with their looks and all. I remember my friends going crazy over them and keep telling me to check them out. I was like dude, I’m busy with my studies! I don’t have time to care bout a bunch of stupid idols. Well, I kinda regret that now. My country had kbs world since 2008 so I gradually started watching music programs like music bank… The biggest breakthrough that got me into the kpop craze back then was super junior’s sorry sorry. I thought the song wasn’t that good but becuz it was trending at that time so I listened to songs from snsd, shinee, suju, big bang… U know what made me feel like an idiot was that I thought TVXQ is super junior. I really have no idea why but I literally thought TVXQ is suju. And that’s the reason I never checked if TVXQ is suju or not. By 2009, I was a total kpop fan! Even then, I still thought TVXQ is super junior. I used to be a shinee fan but then SKKS came along. I was shocked when I found out TVXQ’s Micky Yoochun starred in it. I fell in love further more when I heard Junsu’s too love from SKKS OST. I just became a JYJ fan after that. Surprisingly, I hated those idols I once liked so much that I thought I will kill them when I see them. I still feel the same now. It’s propably becuz I hated them for not introducing me to TVXQ or JYJ. The other reason is that they will never be as perfect as JYJ in terms of looks, singing, dancing, acting, composing, directing, producing or everything. I will always love JYJ and JYJ only. Sincerely from Samantha, Malaysia.
I also got 2 of my friends into JYJ^^:)
i think it was love at first sight. i saw post card of JYJ in my friend’s book. and I right away felt a strong chemistry going on. After i heard their songs “In Heaven”, i knew that they have the most beautiful voice in the world. And after i knew more about them, they have showed me the best quality of an artist should have. They show greatness from inside them, not like any other artists where they make sensation to gain attention.
i know that i will be a forever JYJ’s supporter! ALWAYS KEEP THE FAITH!!
i love JYJ when i see them in many dramas, especially Yoochun in Sungkyungkwan Scandal. HE BEWITCHED ME!! hahahaa. i think that’s all it takes to make me crazy about them, their SMILE. omg omg
JYJ was my first korean crush. i saw them smiling so brightly at youtube when i accidentally watched their fancam concert in Chili. their DANCE MOVE was actually captured my heart. i didn’t know there was a group of singers who can dance that harmoniously and amazingly. i cant say anything more how much i love them now, I LOVE JYJ!!
and i will continue to love them even more! GO JYJ!!
Nine years ago, I was regular reader of one of the asian magz in Indo but having no clue ’bout k-pop (somehow I thought k-music was k-drama).
For couple of months I ignored the pics of 5members which I found strangely appeared in every edition of the magz LOL
It’s till coincidentally day..on the way going back home, I was captured by a song and quickly stop my trishaw.
It’s “Hug” from the beginning part sung by JaeJoong ^ my reaction’s like, “wow so these little guys really can sing” (sorry if I’m being rude, it’s just that I’m used to hear western music a lot..even I’m not much into the music of my root culture, Mandarin)
Sooner I tried listening to other k-pop songs before judging their pics or appearances..
The rest story is just as what their art works listed, love their every songs even when they tried unfamiliar or new genres ^
I lost their info quite a moment after graduating and started working (but still listening to the songs ^ sometimes it’s like healing)
Knowing TVXQ was parted and they now being JYJ is surely shocking.. but I think it’s normal process in life as what it be, like when parents got parted or divorced one day..shocking, saddening things following (even the other parties around could be the hardest to deal with) but it’s still one process we’ve to go through and find ourselves again.
Looking at what JYJ achieved or still pursue, I’m glad they find their true self and what they’re worthed ^ JYJ hwaiting ^ ^
I think I was a lil’ bit late knowing them and sometimes I feel so regret…It is because I’m not really in KPOP fan but it’s really funny when I know Mirotic song long time ago already and have download the video, sing and dance as well but have no idea who are they actually..So when it’s start?Yeah, thanx to Micky/Park Yoochun for his debut drama SKKS…But to be honest, not a hardcore fan yet coz I thought he’s only an actor, never know he is an idol group as well…Due to busy time, I really have no time to search more about him eventhough I start to like him already until his latest drama Rooftop Prince airing…When I know he’s the male lead, I can’t wait to watch it and this drama really hooked me up and I really impressed with his acting…Fortunately, when I watch this drama, my system in office was offline so I can’t do any work…Due to that, I start to search about him and I’m really shocked there’s so many interesting news about him, JYJ and his former group as well…Sometimes I think I’m going insane already coz everytime I have time, the 1st thing I want to do is search about them, download their music, videos…For this short period, I have so many videos about them, can sing their songs, bought their dvds, merchandises and seriously this never happened before..I hope oneday I can go to their concerts.
AND BECAUSE OF MY CRAZINESS OF MICKY YOOCHUN N JYJ, I LEFT MY BAD HABIT…I have a very bad habit that I want to stop but I can’t even share to others..But after I know them, it’s really magic when I totally left and forget about my bad habit..I really want to cry because I want to stop but don’t know how..Thanx GOD for let me know them and let them exist in my heart..I will love them forever….
It’s obviously because of the cute, lovely and sweet voiced Kim Junsu ^_~… that was during Mirotic, i was watching teentop MV, 2PM, 2AM, then suddenly my attention caught by a group of 5 guys doing the Mr Pogi look, that’s the pose where man touching their chin, This group happened to call themselves DBSK, i watched the Mirotic MV and the first person i noticed and fell in love with was the one that dances gracefully with the exotic facial expression and my god the voice i love him since then, i searched the internet
and found out that that persons’ name was Kim Junsu…. that was 2010, then as i get more info about DBSK because of Junsu, i found out the group was already disbanded, i’m kinda sad asking my self where now is my Kim Junsu… searching, searching and searching… found him doing Intoxication, OMG! that’s it I REALLY REALLY LOVE this GUY! I learned that Jaejoong and Yoochun and Him were forming a group during Junsu’s brother Juno’s Album launching in Japan… that’s it the rest is history, i became JYJ fan, where Junsu goes i follow… even if i’m the only fan he got i’ll treasure, support and love him all the way YOUNGWONHI! I got 2 JYJ Album and 2 of Kim Junsu’s Album, i’m waiting for my Elizabeth DVD. my next is Intoxication Album… it’s really hard to find that album.
I also like YooSu….. LOL! <3<3<3 ^_~
3 years ago.
I got this song from my cousin:
Doushite Kimi Wo Suki Ni Natte Shimattan Darou
I played it like 800+ times while studying for my O level exams~ It soooo sad and melodious. I loved it. I made me think if I don’t study hard I’ll end up sad and lonely. It was very motivating for me. >.<
After my O level I googled the singers of the song. Terms like DBSK and TVXQ was confusing at first, but I got help from my cousin and she explained it was the same group.
Fast forward, I was just starting to get hooked with Break out, Mirotic, Stand By U etc. Then, "bam~!" the lawsuit. I knew they had a really strong fan base so I kept positive attitude about it.
Not long after they split, JYJ emerged. I hurried to collect the "remains" of the group by buying JYJ's album and listening to it.
It's different from before but I liked the change. From cool distant idols to humans with happiness and sadness. To me it felt like abstract art to contemporary art.
Since then, I've been following JYJ; from The Beginning, In Heaven till now~ ^^
okay lol here's my story~ ^^ Hope you enjoyed it(: Have a nice day~! ^^
For me Yoo Jae Suk & X-Men is the one who introduced me to KIM JAEJOONG. Because of his dorky self, fun personality and his cute face I have fall for this guy. Six years ago because of KIM JAEJOONG, I have become a fan of Korean group DBSK. Through out the years, where I have seen the up and down of his live, he has become my role model and support where I find myself in difficult situation and he has become the reason for me to change myself for the better.And now because of KIM JAEJOONG, I have become a fan of JYJ……..
Around late 2004, it has been my worst year, my mom passed away just before i finish my final exam in high school (i’m 14 at that time). As the time flies, to always thinking and missing my mom while i have to study and take care of my little sisters is very hard for me to endure. While all my friend got to enjoy their teens life, i’ve already sacrificed it for being subtitute mom for my little sisters until around 2006 or 2007 (i don’t quite recall), my friend introduce me to this boy band called TVXQ.. seeing them dancing with a very great singing skill gave me happiness and joy! and just by seeing them i felt teenage again..! i fall in love with yoochun face and deep voice! i started to search all about him and his singing.. and what make me fall deeply is when he sang my little princess.. since then i love him and always follow him.. then when TVXQ broke up, it’s thorn my heart thinking how sad he must be breaking apart from homin, but i know, with fan’s love we can shadowing his sadness by giving him happiness and always stay by his side.. since then i’m JYJ fan.
But since i pursuing my studies, i can’t attend JYJ concert at 2010 when they came to malaysia :’(
I have so many test at that time.. same goes when he came to Bangkok for fanmeeting..
But that never ending my love, it;s ok if i never can see him directly, bcoz i can follow him wherever n whenever in this net world
By just following his news, watch his pictures, drama, and his dorky act in videos.. thanks to him, it always give me energy to study harder! thank you oppa for making my life happier every day every minute every time..
how i can be JYJ’s loyal fan? well, it’s all destined in my life.. hahaha seems funny rite? but seriously it’s true..
before i knew abt DBSK/JYJ, i never crazy abt artist or idol, even i don’t really like korea, i only know korea as a country and everything that i know about korea only through kdrama like full house or winter sonata that my friends watch. i never heard any about kpop before.
until back to early august in 2008 (i still remember that day), me in my dorm with my besties at very early morning, since i’m still sleepy i’m back to bed after 1 hour wakes up, while my friend watching tv.
Suddenly she screams loudly and i think she’s kind of crazy because she wake me up harshly and without breath said to me ” hey wake up, i found something that you must be like! wait a minute, i’ll find it in youtube, you must be like them! i promise!”
at that moment i just can shake my head because i still confuse and sleepy.. 10 minutes later she brought her laptop to me and show me DBSK – Balloons MV.
First thing that come into my head is “woa, these guys are pretty cute, the MV is funny and i like the panda! (which is junsu in balloon mv)”, unconsciously i pointed out to Junsu in the laptop screen and said, ” hey i book this man, from now on this is my man..” *i know my line is kinda weird
and since then i search all about DBSK and Junsu, from their debut in 2004, story before their debut, their banjeon drama, their MVs, their albums, their DVDs concert, their TV shows (both korea and japan), their CFs and start savings their picture, even i started to learn korean language because of them. To put it in the short word my state is ‘i crazy about them’ .
until 2009 was coming, and i heard the news about the lawsuit, i depressed but still thankful that they still can appear in japan. somehow i can’t understand why they want to file the lawsuit back then, i cried when their last MV tokiwo tomete (please stop the time) in early 2010 released.
and the nightmare was coming, they splitting. At first i still support DBSK old member as individual and JYJ as group. i loved every member evenly (except junsu, he is more loved though) because i believe this is not between members problem. Until homin came back with their hateful song, i felt offended, moreover SoMeones artists behave like shit to our boys and things can’t be fix when homin make bad statement in knee drop guru show.
without realized, i becomes JYJ loyal fans. i depressed when they seem depressed, i’m happy when they happy and i worry when they sick and i will love them with all my heart forever..
Does anyone here have a sister who can talk about JYJ all day and listens to their songs non-stop? to a point where everything about JYJ, their songs & dramas, just grew on you? Well, I have such a sister!
Thanks to her I became a JYJ fan. She likes Yoochun so told us (me and my other sister) to pick between Xia or Jaejoong as our bias. I think it’s obvious who i picked. I really loved Xia in the music video In Heaven, also loved him in Tarantallegra and Uncommitted. I only saw him in a few videos but I can really say that he’s a great and true performer! Since we’re so busy, we just leave it to our “Yoochun bias” sister to update us with the latest news on JYJ. When it comes to pure talent, I really admire JYJ!
On a serious note, I think I started to be a JYJ fan when I saw my “Yoochun bias” sister smiling and laughing again. I think my whole family owe JYJ a lot. It’s not that my sister doesn’t know how to smile or laugh ok? It’s just that she was at her lowest point in life that time, that it really breaks our hearts. Thanks a lot JYJ! Now we know where she gets all her happiness and strength from.
I really admire JYJ’s strength and courage. I’ve heard so much about the injustices brought unto them by their previous agency. If my sister has her battle with cancer, it seems that JYJ has its own battle as well. If everything my sister have said was true, then I think SME is like cancer (or even worst if I may say). They both can drain a person physically, emotionally, mentally and financially. Just like cancer that can spread all throughout the body, SME has spread its “influence” all across Korea and other countries as well. But JYJ is fearless and is really a great source of hope and inspiration for all those people in need. Again, thanks a lot JYJ! I know for sure we will be JYJ fans for life!
Btw, I’m the sister of Micky07 (hope she forgives me for this) lolz
Dear Xia77, I’m so touched by what you mentioned about your sister. I was crying and laughing at the same time and WA her over our group chat while Im still in Jakarta now. We have been chatting chunsas over WA for these past 2months. I found her to be so jolly, crazy and someone I can share my love and craziness about Chunnie and JYJ to. Micky07 always responded to our jokes and comments so quick and spontaneously with high enthusiasm. She is full of zest anytime of the day. Without her, our days are so dull and boring when there are not much news on JYJ over JYJ3. I keep wondering everytime why this lady so hyper and gets so excited talking, chatting about Chunnie and JYJ. i thot i was the only crazy, abnormal one at first. Now I know how important are Chunnie and JYJ to her! I’m so going to bring her along to Beijing this December to watch Chunnie’s fm or JYJ’s concert next year in Seoul when their new album is out. Micky07, im so honoured and happy to have you as my dearest sister in JYJ world !!!! My God Bless You and Family. Always Keep The Faith! Fighting!!!! Love you crazy sister !
@Jess, Sori if I am off-topic here, but just wondering what is the Dec date for Chunnie’s fm? I can’t find any info on it in CJes website or FB?
@Jyjfan, hi there. This is not a confirm date but got the info from Baidu site. Now is already November, so it may or may not happen. Keep your fingers crossed if you really wants to go for Chunnie’s fm. Have a good day.
Hi Jess Tay, she has nothing but nice words for all her new found friends in JYJ3. Aside from Yoochun and JYJ, she talks about all of you quite often actually. Thanks a lot for spending time with her and making her happy too. We can see that she’s really enjoying her everyday life, even though she seldom gets out of her room nowadays (lolz). We don’t know how to repay all of you, but may the Lord shower you all with his blessings!
My sister texted this to me Jess, asked me to tell you her message… We both appreciate what you are doing…thanks! Love you too sis
07 and Xia77, you are making me teary eyes again. Stop saying all those things. We are here for one another. JYJ and Chunnie got us all close and we are talking everyday now over WA because of them. God’s Blessings that we all met because of them. I made a lot of friends through JYJ3 during the Bangkok Fanmeet trip planning. Now the my network of friends have gone bigger and all over the world. JYJ was my beginning as a loyal fan to them. Even though I knew DBSK long ago and I still love their songs and madly in love with JYJ songs now, JaeChunSu solos as well. I feel happy and all fired up everytime I play or blast JYJ songs…even though it annoys my hubby at times..haha. Who cares. JYJ – our inspiration, our hope. Always Keep The Faith!
@xia77 sisters are worse in letting out the secret huh, but is so heart warming because of @Micky07 we got u here
Hey Zan JYJ, so true. We got Xia77 here now and it seems another sister of micky07 is a fan of JJ. Hahaha..this complete micky07′s family of JYJ fans. Fighting!!!
How Did I Become A Fan Of JYJ?
To tell you honestly, I don’t really know. All I know is that I’m their fan. You see I have been their fan when they were still part of Dong Bang Shin Ki, the group I adore, admire and salute so much. Even though they separated, I still didn’t consider the fact that they separated because for me, they’re still one, the five of them. So when they separated, automatically I became their fan because of the fact that they are still one. I won’t elaborate it because I know every fan of JYJ/TVXQ/DBSK will surely understand the meaning behind my words.
One of the reasons why I adore them so much when they were still Dong Bang Shin Ki and even now is that, all of them has this individual traits, making them different from one another but at the same time can be unique when together. For example, their voices. They have different tones of vocals, making their singing skills and techniques different from one another but when joined together, they can form this beautiful, calm and really soothing harmony that makes every individual’s heart melt. You know, their harmony, their voices when joined together never fails me to smile.
Another reason is that, their courage, strength and will of determination never fails me to adore them so much. To admire them so much. Now they’re facing a crisis. Them versus SME but as you all heard, they still proceed on making individual activities and are all successful. I admire them so much to the extent that I became their true, understanding and lovable fan. I never noticed that before but I’m very sure that I’m one of their certified fans around the world. I can see and feel their love towards us, their fans. It’s really heart flattering and it makes my heart ache on wondrous ways.
I don’t care about anything else, as long as I can be their fan then I’m satisfied with my life. When they (DBSK) separated into JYJ and TVXQ, I broke down. But that didn’t really changed anything well except for the fact that they actually separated into two groups and can’t really communicate because of SME. But, also, that didn’t changed the fact that I was their fan and still a fan until now. Even though they separated ways, individually I’ll be their fan, grouply I’ll be their fan. A certified one. How did I become a fan of JYJ? Simple. They’re my life and every day, they never fail me to smile. I love you, JYJ! ^^
Just want to add something. Credits to my older sister. I was a grade school student when my older sister suddenly popped out of nowhere introducing me to her favourite korean group. I wasn’t even a korean addict nor a korean fan at that time. She introduced me to DBSK and showed me videos. She introduced me all the members.and my first reaction was, “They all have the same faces.” So I wasn’t really able to know them. But she kept on giving me their videos to watch, telling me that she really likes them. She even bought CDs, you know their Albums and such. From that day on, I started admiring them. One by one, I started recognizing them. When I watched some more videos of them on Youtube, I saw at how their coordination was beautiful. The way they dance was just amazing. They, being funny was just hilarious. And most of all, their voices. I was enchanted when I heard their voices joined together. I felt like it was fate for them to be grouped together and how perfect they were. So, yeah, I would like to thank my older sister who, first, introduced me to them.
For so many years, I tried to ignore DBSK/TVXQ simply because practically everyone is into them. I once tried to watch one of their vids but unfortunately, I picked a fancam of Rising Sun which made my head ache. So I thought, this group was simply not for me.
Then one day, I came across some sort of debate as to who sang Magic Castle better, Kim Jung Hoon (Prince Yul of Goong) or DBSK. I love KJH’s voice so I decided to check out the DBSK version just to prove that my idol was better. But then, I had to admit that DBSK’s rendition of the song was really, really nice. Still, I was not hooked.
Later, i got obsessed with J-Pop groups, particularly News and Kat-tun though I felt that there was something lacking in their vocals. While discussing this, one of my forum friends mentioned DBSK and recommended that I listen to “Love in the Ice” so I looked for it in Youtube.. That was it. I was mesmerized. Those five guys are such amazing singers. From then on, I searched everywhere for their songs, concerts, videos, dramas, etc. I didn’t have any particular bias at first but when I watched Five in the Black, I suddenly developed this huge crush for Changmin. However, that was short-lived coz Yoochun appeared from nowhere and stole my heart and still hold my heart until now. Because of DBSK, I lost interest in J-Pop and while I once liked Super Junior, I hardly listen to them anymore. No other group captured my attention like DBSK not only because they are good-looking (that’s practically a given in the entertainment business) but because they sing and dance very well and are very nice and talented young men. I finally understood the reason behind their popularity.
And then the split came. It was painful but I it was clear to me who shall I follow. Aside from being Yoochun-biased, I also love the voices of Junsu and Jae and I know that those three will continue to make a name for themselves despite the challenges that come their way. Those three guys serve as my inspiration whenever I’m losing hope or feeling down. I just tell myself that if JYJ can hurdle such hardships, why can’t I do the same thing too.
I love JYJ and my day is not complete without hearing any news about them and I think I’ll be supporting them for a long, long time.
been trying to post but nothing appears here so if suddenly you see multiple posts from me, i’m really sorry.
To be honest, I am a recent fan, starting from when they released their first English album. Not quite a good way to start since I heard about JYJ and all their controversy. Nevertheless, I heard their English album and I was thinking “Hey, their songs are quite good!”. I went on to search on their videos on Youtube. Videos after videos I have watched on their MVs since Hug when they were still with DBSK to their recent ones, they are no doubt the Gods Of The East. I slowly moved on to variety shows that they starred in, and thanks to their huge fan base, Cassiopeia, I am able to watch subbed videos of them. I slowly got a grasp of their personalities and I liked what i see. Junsu became my new bias even though I have been an avid fan of another idol group. Searching videos on Youtube (yet again) and one can never get sick of Junsu’s angel-like cuteness. I wasn’t there to witness or experience the pain when DBSK broke up. Neither was i there to witness the formation of JYJ. But what i witness now is still 2 very popular and strong groups, niche in their own field. Being a new fan, yes, i have felt pain and injustice as to why JYJ were denied every right a Korean singer should have to perform on their home stage. As well as being put at a disadvantage due to some “strong forces” but yet JYJ shine through other ways that they did not know they had a talent in. Junsu pursued musical and excelled really well, winning multiple awards. Jaejoong and Yuchun too have excelled in acting and have won multiple awards as well. I think i will be a JYJ fan for life no doubt and i do hope JYj will continue to prosper and more fans will get to enjoy the greatness that they bring.
I knew DBSK since 2008, I know that it’s not long enough but when I knew them for the very first time, I knew that they are special. The first song that I heard was Hug and I love it so much because it’s so smooth and pure and very eargasm. Since then, I do a lot research about them and I started to watch all of their variety show. For me, they are truly a legend. They are the one and only group that all of the members can sing very good. They just have everything, the have the looks, the voices, the personalities, and they have unique chars that made you fall for them. Oh, and don’t forget their amazing accapella!!! They just have a very very nice harmonization together. Their voice just complete each other voice and make a good melody.
But, yeah sometimes there’s something that you can’t see, right? Who knows behind all of those laugh and smile there are a lot of pain and problems they had back then. In 2009, they decided to seperated. It’s something I can’t believe it and I’m very sad about it. I always want to keep the faith for them until now, but there’s a little part in me that’s relieved because some of them have already moved to other company. Yes, I want to see them all 5 together again but I also want them to live their life happily and enjoy what they are doing.
I have no idea why, but I adore JYJ much more than TVXQ now, I just love all the JYJ’s members personality that dorky, funny, adorable, and they truly are the moodmaker. I love to hear Junsu’s Eu Kyang Kyang more than everything and Jaejoong’s voice just so touching. Yoochun’s low voice just makes me crazy all the time. Their songs and their true stories made me proud and very inspired.
How I become a JYJ’s fans is because they have everything that deserved to be “fangirling” by evrybody all around the world. Nowadays, everythime I hear they sing “W” I’m still shed tears like crazy in every words of that song. It’s just so honest that they missed the other 2 and they believe that one day they will be together again. It’s not a goodbye, it’s just a break for a while. That song gives me hope to always keep the faith for them. While “Untitled Song Part 1” also makes me cry because I can feel the pain they have been through at that time. I;m so proud that Yoochun was very brave to told us everything that happened behind the “stage” and make us realized their pains. Maybe 8 minutes is very long for a song but that’s conclude everything that they’ve been through for more than 5 years. All of their feelings and sadness are in there. You can hear Yoochun’s emotion through that song.
How I become a JYJ’s fans is because they are tough. They can’t perform in music show and variety show in Korea. But that’s can’t stop them to spread their wings. They used this opportunity to make them well known worldwide, even to the country they’ve never been before. They makes me learn that no matter what happened, you need to be strong to achieve your dreams. Never afraid to tell the others about your thought, let the other know so they can never underestimate you. There’s always a way out for every problems as long as you keep believing and tried your best.
So, yeah, I guess that’s all. It’s not a great reasons but I JUST LOVE THEM THE WAY THEY ARE!!! They are truly artists that always makes me smile through my hard times because of their silly action and their precious laughs.
So, dear JYJ, I ‘m just one of your million fans here. You guys are my inspirations for me and maybe for other JYJ’s fans. So I just want you guys to be healthy, keep smiling, keep singing for your entire life, keep producing good songs, and most of all, I hope you guys find your own HAPPINESS no matter where you are or whatever you do!
That’s how I become a JYJ’s fan
It was around august last year, I was NOT a K-pop I didn’t know what K-pop was at all.
I was on Youtube, searching around and somehow I saw some music videos, I clicked on Mirotic.
Its funny though, I am the type that never gets obsessed about things, or music groups, but with just THAT song, my mind just told me to keep searching for more songs then of course, i found out they where separated, and JYJ has had my support always, I know this is a JYJ only site, but I love and support them both, because even if i met them when they were already not together, I met with five beautiful voices that got my eye, funny thing is I didnt even notice their beautifulness untill I keeped learning about them (since I wasnt use to seeing Koreans,its natural to get a bit confuse at first).
Now I love these people like they are part off my family..I feel as if something happends to them, its worse than if it happends to me., everytime they sing my heart moves and unconsciously smile.
When I feel down, when Im depress, when I am happy, when I am stressed, I litsen to them and just that makes everything okay again.
I feel like thier mother most of the time though (even if i am younger *18) because I worry so much if they eat well, sleep, or what they are doing. and most of all really proud of them everytime they achive something
I have always been a fan of my jyj ever since 2004 when they were in DBSK I respect them so much to continue to perform even through all the heart break and hard times they had to go through no matter what happens I will always continue to support jyj They have my support for years to come

My sister introduced JYJ to me (when the original group dis-band). I love their voices, and would listen to their songs over, and over, and over again. I have their music stored in my phone, my mp3 player, my computer, and blasting in my car.
As I have a 15-hour workday at dialysis clinic, listening to JYJ music is my way of getting re-energized. My patients’ have asked how I stay energetic the whole day, and I would reply, ‘JYJ’ – my favorite Kpop artists. And on days I’m in school, their music help me stay awake and focused.
Most albums have a few good songs but in JYJ’s albums, all songs are hits. I have never known any artist who is as talented as they are and still humble.
JYJ is my favorite artist not only because of their talents but also their undying determination to suceed and courage to stand up for their rights.
My sister, Abbi, is a big fan of JYJ but she is a silent follower. I on the other hand am more outspoken. The only way I know to give back to JYJ what they have done for me through music and drama is by spreading JYJ love. If I get chosen, I’m giving the prize to the rightful winner, Abbi.
Actually my story is kind of weird. I was sick and tired of youtube comments proclaiming that TVXQ was this much better than Bigbang and that much better than Bigbang, and I am a hardcore VIP. I am fairly new to K-pop and has been introduced to the genre via Bigbang, so I was really pissed off. I checked a few of their songs to see what the fuss is about but to be honest I didn’t really see them being so much superior to BB. JYJ first came into the picture when I watched Protect the Boss and fellow members in the lcal K-Drama club I am a member of told me this guy was from TVXQ. I raised an eyebrow (hell he was sexy in Protect the Boss) so I got a bit curious but still, they did not manage to captivate me in any ways. One evening I was hell bored and asked a friend to recommend me a movie to watch. She recommended Heaven’s Postman. I really liked Jaejoong there and also the OST so I started checking out clips on Youtube. I found the Japanese songs of TVXQ and learned about the rip and how JYJ got separated, and from what I was reading I concluded that they were right. The lawsuit case was so interesting in itself that I started checking out stuff from JYJ, found Junsu’s musical performances and well, I got totally attached to this band. I am one of those fans who didn’t come from the Cassiopiea fandom but rather got impressed by their vocal abilities and the persona I saw in interviews and other footages.
1- cos they have aunique musiice that make you feel better no matter how hard time you have
2- they are not just artist as any other idol they are a real human with big heart
3- they are the guys who i ask my brothers to llok up to them
4- theire drama can make us laugh or cries cos they are a great actorss
I’ve been a fan of JYJ since they were a part of DBSK. During their times with DBSK, I fell for their musical talent, especially their beautiful acapellas. I’m always amazed by their acapella songs, such as Hug, My Little Princess, Ha Ha Ha (teehee, so cute!), Love in the Ice, and Bolero. Not only do the members of JYJ have great voices, but their personalities are amazing. I’ve watched almost all variety shows with JYJ/DBSK in it, and the members never fail to make me laugh. I love Junsu’s “oh my god sun” and his dolphin squeeking-eu kyang kyanging, coupled with his athletic soccer ability and his duck butt. I love Jaejoong’s crazy personality and weird obsession with taking personal pictures of his members, coupled with his amazing body (*-*), beautiful eyes, and his unique laugh. And lastly I love Yoochun’s “greasy” personality that’s able to connect deeply with the other members — Yoochun’s able to understand his members the best, and that’s why I love him, because he keeps the members together.
I’ve been supporting JYJ through the JYJ/DBSK separation because they’re one of the most talented groups in the kpop industry. All members are talented in singing, rapping, composing, and writing lyrics. They’ve already created 4 amazing albums (The.., The Beginning, Music Essay, In Heaven) and more than half of those songs have been written and composed by the members. Their group activities aren’t the only things that keep me attracted to this group, but the wonderful things that each member have contributed through their solo activities. I love Junsu so much in his musicals. He can express his feelings through his singing so well and I’m always impressed by his musical talent in Elizabeth and Mozart. His cameo in Scent of a Woman was also both cute and charismatic! I couldn’t believe he actually mentioned his “duck butt” using his own mouth haha XD. Then comes Jaejoong, who’s participated in Sunao, Protect the Boss, and Dr. Jin. All three roles are so different but Jae managed to emerse in his character so well and portray his emotions in the drama. I also love the OSTs so much, especially “I’ll protect you”. I really want Jaejoong to protect me! hehe. And last comes Yoochun, whose dramas I’ve enjoyed watching the most. Sungkyunkwan Scandal and Rooftop prince were HILARIOUS and such good dramas. They always kept me on my toes and I was always curious about what would happen next. I’m so happy that his new drama is going to come out soon!
In the end, I became a fan of JYJ because of their musical talent, actng skills, and amazing personalities. I will always support their work and continue to be a cassieopeia and support our boys! JYJ fighting! Kim Jaejoong fighting! Park Yoochun fighting! Kim Junsu….=P
I am into Kdramas since college 2005 but hadn’t heard of Kpop. Then I saw DBSK banjun drama and that time I think Yoochun is the weirdest among them all bcoz of his hairstyle and sometimes confused with the Shinwa member. Two years past,after City Hunter I searched for another dramas to watch and ended up in SKKS. I said “oh this man change a lot and his acting improved well”. I search info about him from DBSK to JYJ. I am so inlove in everything about him.Watching their youtube videos most of my free time, yoosu couple is my fav. I am little sad with the separation with the other 2 brothers but I am very proud to JYJ who fights for their rights and justice to such a giant and powerful company. For all the difficulties that they went through, they remained strong and work hard not only for themselves but for their fans also. I found JYJ3 and made me connect with them everyday, they are like my family that i got very angry and sad everytime someone bash or bullied them. Happy when they achieved something small or big, they make me smile like an idiot with their videos with yoochun and jae trolling junsu. I hope to see them here in europe next year world tour. JYJ Fighting!
I came to know about JYJ last year. “Found You” was the first JYJ song I listened to. I was captivated by their soft and soothing voices and I began to find out more about them and realised that they were initially from TVXQ. The number of JYJ songs I listened to slowly increased and I started to watch their videos and shows~ It’s just nice to see how close they are together, being funny and cute, it brings a very heartwarming feeling^^ Seeing how they are working hard brings a source of motivation to work hard. I’m glad to know about JYJ and eventually become a fan of them. ^^ thank you JYJ and thank you JYJ3 for all the updates of JYJ!
JYJ Fighting~^^
I knew JYJ through Protect the Boss’ Kim Jae joong. Before watching these series, I have never known about JYJ. But, as Protect the Boss was aired in Indonesia, I started knowing Cha Mu woon’s Kim Jae joong. And… I love his character there. Then, I started searching everything related to him and finally I knew that he is the member of JYJ. JYJ’s members are Kim Jaejoong, Park Yuchun and Kim Junsu. As a result, now I am knowing many things about JYJ and have already loved Kim Junsu and Park You Chun. Talking about JYJ, I have been so sad caused by JYJ’s case with SM. The most sad event was Junsu’s incident in Paralympic games. I have been so angry with SM. How could they do the such things to JYJ? My bias, of course, is Kim Jae joong. He let me know about JYJ through his Cha Mu Woon’s character on PTB. JYJ HWAITING. JJ HWAITING.
Hmm, I was not a fan of DBSK to begin with and I only got to know them around last year. I knew that DBSK exists in the past ( of course as they are so popular) but I was not much into k pop then so I didn’t really listen to their music. It was until 2010 when I started to listen to k-pop but I was not exposed to jyj’s music then as they were not able to perform on music shows. In 2011, the very first time I listened to jyj song was on radio when ‘found you’ was being played. I fell in love with the song because I was impressed with their vocals and I went to research on this particular group and I fell in love with them! I love their voices so much and their songs are super nice! Whenever I listen to ‘In Heaven’, it never fails to make me feel sad and even up till now, I still feel the same. Their voices really reach out to my heart. I really wish their voices will be able to reach out to more people as even though they are already popular now, there is still a particular group of people who don’t know who is jaejoong junsu and yoochun! The main reason is because they could not perform on music shows so I REALLY WISH THEY CAN APPEAR ON MUSIC SHOWS!!! So, to end this, I hope jyj will be more recognised in 2013 and last but not least, jaejoong pls get well soon!!! =)
I have been a fan of their since they debuted as Dongbangshingi, but during that the time they just began their career, I wasn’t really into them until their song “Miduhyo” came out..I love ballads, rnb, acappella, type of songs, so because of this song I start liking Dongbangshingi. Usually when it comes to kpop artists or groups, people likes them because of their appearance, but for me it was their songs, the way how they carry out the song, melody through their voice with such an amazing vocal with so much feelings that comes deep inside of them making the song itself beautiful. Not only their music, but I like the way how they carried themselves as a group and as an individual person. They have this part of them or uniqueness of them compare to other groups that I just can’t help, but be one of their fan. Each of the members have different personalities, characteristics, whatnot, but when they come together all of that would come together as one and it’s amazing. I couldn’t bring myself to listen to TVXQ or JYJ songs because I love them all very much when they were together on stage singing and harmonize together, but then I started to listen to JYJ’s song because my favorite member is in the group. I felt like instead of knowing them for a long time, I felt like it’s a fresh start for me all over again like it was very first time listening and liking a kpop group. All the songs from JYJ are all amazing and they did a fine job pouring their soul and heart singing their songs to everyone to hear their crying, their pain, their hurt, their happiness, their sadness, etc. Their solo activities are awesome and great. I think..I like them more than back then..Yeah, LOL^^, I do very much like them more than back then, not that I don’t, but to see them being honest, themselves, them who hides for so long has finally appear making them even outstanding, more amazing. They went through so much as Dongbangshingi and even till now they still struggling as JYJ, but like how I have mention earlier, the way they carried themselves through all these struggles will make them stronger than before, trust each other, closer together more than before, and at the very end of these struggles there’s a reward waiting for them at the end, and when that comes it will be even more amazing and beautiful sight to see them fully shine and struggle free.
These are five quotes that I hope and pray that it will help you in your struggles and in your journey together as JYJ:
1. “To laugh often & much; to win the respect of intelligent people & the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics & endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”
2. “Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them: work, family, health, friends and spirit, & you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back, but the other four balls: family, health, friends, & spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same.”
3. “When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we find that it is those who instead of giving advice, solutions, cures, have chosen rather to share our pain & touch our wounds with a warm & tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair, confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief, bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, curing, healing & face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that’s a friend who cares.”
4. “If you’re alone, I’ll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I’ll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I’ll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I’ll be your smile… But anytime you need a friend, I’ll just be me.”
5. “Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.”
My motto is “Even though going through hard times, smile no matter what because smile will always give you a little boost of strength to keep going even though wanting give up and tire..so smile always..”^^
HWAITING TO YOU THREE!
My daughter introduced me to DBSK in 2007 when she came home to visit; I’m what Jae kindly calls a *noona* fan^^ I had never listened to Kpop nor watched any dramas. I remember her showing me pictures of five guys with dark hair who looked pretty much alike; telling me each guys name, what he sang and when he sang. Then she would actually quiz me as to which one was which, and of course I didn’t know; but she seemed determined that I get to know them inside and out before she left!!!
I remember she played songs from “Rising Son” and “O”; can’t remember which came first but I liked what I was hearing and started to enjoy their music. I was especially impressed with the one named Junsu who I thought sang so beautifully(BIAS ALERT!). I soon learned all the members names and could tell who sang which verses in a particular song, and I listened to copies of their CDs long after my daughter left home again. I listened to audio of Bigeastation and laughed at their jokes and brotherly teasing of each other; watched MVs for the next 2 years. I was just getting in from work one evening when I started reading posts about a possible split, which I dismissed as rumor; but i was confused when JaeChunSu would host BS without the other two or two(HoMin) without the three. That’s when I knew the rumors weren’t just rumors; because soon after BS was shut down~Over and Out!?!
It’s clear to say that I took this development kind of hard; I really liked and enjoys these guys and like the rest of fans was totally in the dark as to what would become of these wonderfully talented people!!! Well, we all know the out come now. So, without digging up all the heartache and ugliness here, I’ll just end this post by saying I made my choice as to who I cared about, the goodness, generous, humble men of JYJ….Always!!!
I found out thank to a friend and since this moment, I have been a fan and supported them from all my heart. I’m so sad or all the unfaire treatment they get and I hope some day the law will help them get back where they belong, where they will be able to promote the best songs they do without any problems. How can you not love JYJ? these three are my dorks, my dream boyfriends and my dream is for them to reach the top where sm would not be able to touch any of their activities. JYJ, love you and stay the same. Even i it’s hard some day, know that your fans are behind you supporting all what you do even when I don’t have many money, I try to support you all with my heart and mind. and for the first time, I will can go see my baby su in germany and I never has been this happy. Be healthy and stay the same ♥♥♥
Wow!!!!It seems like everyone has their own interesting stories to tell. I am enjoying it so much as I love JYJ as much as all of you. My stories are somewhat similar to some of you.
I have never liked listening to music or singers apparently. Until I saw a video of DBSK, it’s banjun drama if I’m not mistaken back in 2006. I thought Jaejoong was a girl. I have never liked a member more than the other as I love them equally until now. However, I have always known that Junsu’s voice is special but I love all their voices.
I love their live performances especially and I used to hope that they will climb to the top of the world together someday but the split really broke my heart but I understand that and accept it as I believe they know what they will go through and they have all the talents and will strive harder to prove their qualities.
After years, I am still rooting for them and I never find any interest in other group other than them and will always pray for their success till death do us a apart.
Up until today, seeing JYJ performing on stage always send shivers down my spine. Plus, these three awesome guys are multi-talented. Singing, dancing, acting, composing, directing, you name it, they can do it all. And on top of all, they are honest and sincere of their friendship. I never see any celebrity/idol group that has the kind of friendship that JYJ are having, really heart-warming. So that’s how I become JYJ’s fan.
JYJ, I wish you many success in the future. Please stay healthy and always be happy. We the fans will always protect you
At first I only watching dramas. At first half of 2008, when I read about news about Korean stars there was always DBSK. News about their succes, about their fans and about their help to people who were in need. So I started to search about them. At first I watched many concert videos. Live performance videos. Because they are so good singing live even while dancing. Because you can see how much they practice through these videos. Then without knowing I started to watch, read everything about them. I realized without knowing I became a fan.
Their split, they thought it was right thing to do for justice. I decided to support JYJ. They worked so hard, cried so much and again did their best. They will never give up, so I will never give up to support JYJ.
actually, i like HyunJoong firstly, then i search about hyunjoong and many article said Jaejoong is his close friend, the i search in google and it the first sight, jaejoong impressed me, and finished. I think it’s just stop there, until I met a friend my school and she told me about TVXQ and JYJ. I don’t know why, really don’t know why I’m so easily attracted and interested by it all. Started to find out about Jaejoong, Yoochon, Junsu, Changmin and Yunho oppa. Read facts about them, and I was immediately touched by their struggle. Yuup, once again, I easily fall in love with them. Until finally, I made myself as CASSIOPEIA!
The first time I saw DBSK was in Mirotic MV back then in 2008. It didn’t impress me so much because I’m the type of person who loves beautiful music and harmony, even better if it is with great orchestra…^^ I even said ‘What a weird video.. korean style is indeed very odd’. I couldn’t differentiate their voices, I didn’t know if it was because of the music but all of their voices were kind of similar to me, not to mention what a language they sang it with. It was hard to understand.
Well, at least I knew DBSK but then I needed to study for my university entrance exams so I pulled myself from anything. Fast-forward to 2010 I discovered Kim Junsu – Too Love….(I got shiver while listening to his soulful voice). This particular song has becoming my never-ending addiction to Junjun’s heavenly voice since then….^^
Ironically, Yoochun was my bias when I fell hard for Junjun’s Too Love song… I found Yoochun is the most handsome one…keke…he was somewhat the most manly and attractive among that flower-pretty boys for me. I felt like I can tell what he felt from his facial-expression, he was frankly n dorkily(?) the mood maker of the group, that was why he become my favorite…my ideal type…keke. As for Jaejoong, he is so smart, playful, perfect and a great composer. I like each of his compositions, esp Nine and In Heaven…I also enjoyed watching his Heaven Postman…fufu
Back to 2010 story, I remember I kept replaying Too Love and became thirst for Junjun’s voice….I searched for everything about DBSK on utube and couldn’t help myself from focusing to this adorable, sexy n amazing man Junsu. I also searched for DBSK live-performances available then (since I didn’t know about the split. me n my laziness to find out XD. I did think it was weird that only JJ, YC n JS who had activities in Japan, but let it slid. I just thought that they were in the midst of individual activities because Yoochun had a drama).
In 2011, I finally know the truth… JYJ had filled a lawsuit against SME since 2009. It was quite shocking and I immediately tried to search for the info. My only source about DBSK was an OT5 site (it was also the reason why I didn’t know about the split since it put 5 faces together n it looked real XD) and it provided news for all 5 of them… While searching for the split info I got distracted by Junjun’s musical tears of heaven. I searched and enjoyed his interview in a news program instead XD. Suddenly I read a comment there which said ‘There is a site called JYJ3.net, it provides more news about JYJ, u guys should go check it there ^^’ and…..jang2x…I indeed find a great place to search for JYJ and the lawsuit news from this lovely site….^^ I fall in love n can’t over JYJ ever since. I can’t find any other site with such a quick and up-to-date news flooding everyday about our charming princes…
JYJ3 is the reason why keep becoming an addict of JYJ… this site is like the source of my JYJ craziness. It is so complete and warm also full of amazing and kind people… Ahh reading hilarious comments here and there in every post also entertains me a lot…keke…
Ottoke? Sorry for being too long and the not-so-good English T.T
Finally, I haven’t got the chance to say thanks for Admins for creating this great site, for all your hardwork..u completes my everyday with all about JYJ….^^
I and JYJ go back 8 years. I got to know them through Xman show and at first my bias was Ho but then Yoochun captivated me with his cuteness and I just feel more connected to him even though at the beginning I thought he wasn’t that good looking (I was very wrong – He’s really good looking in my eyes right now), his personality just shines through and make me love him. I started to find out about DBSK and became their hardcore fan up until the lawsuit. To me, they were perfection. I only stanned them and ignored other idol groups. When they made a comeback in Korea with Mirotic I was really happy. Then came rumor of lawsuit and I thought it was ridiculous until JYJ filed the lawsuit, without the other 2. I tried to keep my faith on them but deep in my heart I know, since only JYJ filed the lawsuit, there’s no coming back. I tried to support but the other 2 made a comeback with the name that they said only valid when 5 people stand together so I decided to support JYJ, who are still staying true to themselves whether in music or personalities through out these years. I find that old feeling that I had back then during their Rising Sun era in JYJ activities and videos. Their humbleness and perseverance are an inspiration to me. Before I used to love Yoochun the most in JYJ but right now I love all of them equally. I feel that I grew up with JYJ. I don’t regret loving them and experience all the things that come from the split. No matter what, JYJ will always have my love and support. It’s hard to love another idol groups because JYJ are just perfect to me. I lost interest in Kpop but I will never lose interest in JYJ. JYJ to say I love you and support you is a understatement on my part. Wish JYJ will succeed in anything circumstance.
In July, last year, I saw my first K-drama : Boys over Flowers. One of my best friends found out more about “k-things” and she discovered k-pop. We were very impressed about Korea, and k-pop, ’cause, here in Romania, these things weren’t familiar. How I became fan of JYJ? Hmm, at first I was listening SS501, and one day my friend gave me a link from YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3nCVLlhXmc . It was stunning!! It made me cry and think about what real love means. Since then, I kept looking for JYJ songs, m-videos and I now enjoy every moment of “JYJ-things”. I’m glad I have this opportunity to listen such great music and being part of JYJ-generation
.
I know I will not win this contest but who cares? I have been dying to tell the world how a 60 year old ahjuma , who had hated K pop boy/girl bands like a pIague in the past , is now an ardent JYJ fan. I eat, sleep, breathe JYJ 24/7. Even in my sleep. And I don’t even understand a word of Korean.
I had been watching Korean dramas for 10 years when I saw SKKS in late 2010.
During the first 4 episodes, I was constantly griping “What was the director thinking when he cast this average-looking, stiff cupboard as the main lead Lee Seon Joon. I suspected the actor must have come cheap. To me, his acting was as mediocre as his looks.
But by Episode 5, this guy’s acting had improved so much, I was fascinated by him. His acting sets him apart from the rest. His looks grew on me and I began to see he is a handsome man whose looks make you want more and more of him, and it’s more than his eyelashes.He has an unexplained charisma that draws me to him.
I had to find out who he was and googled him. Imagine my shock when I discovered his name is Park Yu Chun and is basically a K pop boy band singer from TVXQ ( and later broke away to start JYJ ) – a profession I hated intensely. To me, K boy bands are plastic looking clones who are dancers , pretending they can sing. I was shocked that this handsome singer is so credible as a rookie actor. Unbelievable.I have never seen a rookie take on a sageuk and carried it off so well.
So I checked out TVXQ only out of my love for the actor whose charm had mesmerized me so much, I was watching every repeat episode of SKKS on TV besides online videos. I was expecting to scorn at DBSK/JYJ and was half expecting some pretty boy dancers in sexily –clad leotards like some ballet dancers. But the moment I heard the first song “Why did I fall in love with you?” , I was stunned. These boys CAN SING although I had no idea whether it was in Japanese or Korean. I thought they were just lucky in singing that song so well. Then when I heard “ Love in the Ice” and “ I Believe” , my prejudice against Korean boy bands was over ! It took only 3 TVXQ songs in less than 15 minutes to change my life-long mindset.
But of the 5 voices, 3 of them stood out. The voice that is clear, distinctly unique and sweet to the ears – I found out he is Jae Joong. Another voice that is raspy but the moment he sings, he is so expressive and can interpret a song so well, it gives me good goose bumps – his name is Junsu.
When I heard Yu Chun’s speaking voice in “I believe”, I nearly died ! How can a 18 year old boy has such a low, manly, velvety, smooth voice, I was completely lost in him. It’s as though our souls met and touched and refused to let go. I had no idea Lee Seon Joon can sing so well and his diction and accent in spoken English is so sexy.
Then I learnt about the law suit against the slave contract and my love and respect for these 3 young, handsome, multi- talented men skyrocketed. These 3 youngsters have moral courage to take on the big boys which even matured adults would think twice to challenge.
From then on, I ask friends to help me buy their DVDs overseas, study their past in Youtube, listen to their music daily in the car,house and on my MP3 when I sleep. I wake up with JYJ music in my ears.This has been going in even when I travel overseas. My JYJ MP3 music is always with me.
And I still don’t understand a word of Korean. At times when I listen to JYJ when they were in their teens, I still do not know whether they are speaking Korean or Japanese. But music knows no language. And my love for JYJ knows no boundaries.
Yes, a 60 year old ahjumma is now a Korean pop convert. No, it’s more accurate to say I’m a JYJ convert as I have no interest in any other K pop groups. There is none like JYJ. They are real talents you can never find in Korea. They’re world standard.
My husband and children are not into K pop but they indulge and let me love JYJ and Park Yu Chun in my own way. They know I even stand up for JYJ in church and pray for God to protect them and help them fight injustice and bless them with success as they are 3 humble guys despite their manifold talents.
JYJ – I adore you.
I’ve always been a J-Pop fan more than K-Pop(most of the K-Pop songs were too similar to each other and I didn’t like that, I wanted more uniqueness). This was until I found JYJ/DB5K.
My fav J-Pop artist is Nana Mizuki, and she was going to be a guest on this show called “Food King Prejudice”, and I watched as soon as it was available on youtube(subbed). I enjoyed the show, it was great, there was also another male guest(a japanese actor maybe? they played a drama clip of a scene that he was in), I thought he was pretty good looking ^^ he had longish brown hair, he was wearing a grey top with a red sleeveless hoodie. He was interesting so I went to the comments find out his name. . . . Jaejoong. . . . *Oh god it sounds korean ><*
Never the less I searched him up. . . Kim Jaejoong . . DBSK, *damn he IS korean then :O I really thought he was Japanese, he spoke the language so well that I couldn't tell*
I didnt really want to listen to DBSK much so I wanted to see if he had any solo songs, and I found "Insa". It was beautiful, so peaceful, so perfect. "Insa" was the first EVER Korean song on my playlist, also my first Korean song that I knew by heart.
His voice was so angelic, I wanted to hear more, I found "Forgotten Season", "Maze", "Crying" they were all flawless. I also watched his J-drama "Sunao Ni Narenakute". But I wanted to hear his voice even more and see him more! (there wasnt any music videos for his solo).
So I went to his DBSK videos, I came across "Bolero". I fell in love with it instantly~ and as I heard more of their songs and watched many of their random videos and shows I fell for them more and more and eventually became a Cassiopeia~ They were so perfect and they are different from other Korean groups.
It was during that time that I found a JYJ song on youtube. I was really impressed that they made an English album and collaberated with Kanye West.
I found out later about the whole lawsuit and split, I was happy for them because they would be happier and would be free from the lawsuit, but I just wish that I knew them earlier.
Even till now I still support JYJ as 3, I'm greatful that I found them, they inspire me so much and always gives me strength.
If it wasn't because of Nana Mizuki then I would have never found JYJ. Chajatta nae sarang~

Ok this is gonna be long. To be honest, I confessed that my love for DBSK started with hatred throughout my 4 years of high school. Why? Simply because most of my friends and cousins lives literally revolved around DBSK, and hardly can I ever have a conversation without them fangirling about the group. I thought they were crazy. Then in January 2011, I lost the biggest inspiration of my life— my father after the passing of my mother in 2006. From there on, I spent half the year grieving and dealing with financial and academic stresses. I seriously needed help, and this is when I encountered DBSK again for the second time in my life (because my roommate/cousin was a huge DBSK fan). It all started with Kim Jaejoong and the Banjun dramas, specifically Dangerous Love. I have not been smiling for a very long time and these mini dramas brought back laughter. Watching DBSK, I forgot about the stressful situations in my life. I laughed so much that tears filled my eyes, not because of sadness but happiness. This marked the beginning of me and my sister’s love for DBSK. We literally went CRAZY when we developed the DB5K fever. I spent exactly one week knowing most of the history about DB5K. My sister and I bought three 500 GB drives just for the sake of DBSK files. Together, we watched every single clip and downloaded every single thing that we can find online about DBSK. My love with each member grew as I got to see their unique personalities through variety shows and their solo works. I listened to their ballads and their sweet, soothing voices deeply touched me and make me feel at ease. I just don’t know why, but I love the boys so much. Other than my family, I have never loved someone else so much. Even with my insignificant place in the fandom, I still feel so happy just hearing their voices and seeing them on TV. But then, when I saw the PV of KYHD, JYJ was missing and that was when my cousin told me the group has gone their own ways. I did the research, and learning about the slave contracts, SM’s treatment of JYJ, Homin’s harsh words on JYJ, and the way JYJ was blocked from performing in Korea and Japan, made my love for JYJ even stronger. It’s a must for me to follow all the works of JYJ members because I feel like I don’t see enough exposure of them nowadays.
But because I am of the Hmong race, my family and relatives disproves of my love for JYJ. Still, I don’t care because they will never understand the influence JYJ has brought upon me. JYJ are my role-models. They are brave, fearless, and strong people who chose to fight for the right thing even when knowing that they will be going against one of the biggest entertainment agencies. Because of them, I was able to laugh whole-heartedly again. They suffered a lot, and yet they’re still able to put on those smiles and maintain a positive outlook on life. Using their examples of dealing with difficult situations as a framework for building upon my own life’s tragedies, I was able to move on from the past. I believe and I will patiently wait and will always stand by them until the end. JYJ will always remain a part of me no matter how old I’ve grown. I believe it was fate for me to have lost the greatest inspirations in my life yet to have met another powerful inspiration in my life.
I was thinking all day long to write, or not to write. Because, after reading the comments, I realized so many people became a JYJ fan same way as I did, through Yoochun`s Sungkyunkwan scandal. (I`ve visited JYJ3 for more than 1 year, I also put somme comments, but I`ve never introduced myself and the way I become a fan of JYJ, so I`ll take this quiz as an opportunity to share with the other members of JYJ family my experience.)
I wasn’t at all into k-pop (but I`m a huge fan of k-dramas and of Far East culture) and I`m not a fan now, also, tough now I`m more aware of this trend. So, while watching SKKS (almost the same time when it was aired in South Korea), the fact that Yoochun is a famous singer in SK was not something interesting for me. But I’ve really enjoyed his acting, and the whole series as well. At some episode. I heard a really beautiful song, sang by an amazing voice…unfortunately, music is not my favorite art and I was not interested at all in Korean singers, so when the series ended, I forgot about that wonderful song. After a while, during summer of 2011 (July) I managed to make my sister watch a k-drama with me. I told her about some nice dramas, and she picked SKKS. We`ve started to watch it (and my sis really liked Yoochun). I`ve remembered there`s a song I like very much there in the drama. And I heard it again, but that time, I was so touched by that angelic voice …I was simply mesmerized by that voice. I really can`t describe the feelings that song gave me. I felt in love with that voice. This was the moment I had to know who`s the man behind that voice I loved. So I searched info about the OST, and I`ve learnt that the song is named “For you it`s separation, to me it`s waiting” and it`s sang by Kim Jaejoong, member of JYJ, same group as Yoochun belongs to.I`ve searched JYJ on Youtube, and the first time I saw all three was in the record of them performing at KBS Drama awards. I`ve already known Yoochun, and then I`ve seen Jaejoong and Junsu also. They were all so good looking and they sang so well. After, I joined some facebook group about JYJ, and there a member kepps posting updates from JYJ3. So, I decided to visit the site. I found this way about the hardships JYJ suffered, about the whole lawsuit thing and many other things that I didn`t know. After informing myself, I realized that those three men are not only talented artistes and good looking people, but also that they are amazing human beings, with solid principles, strength, courage, that they had sooo much qualities and how much they care about their fans and people around them. I don`t remember now exactly all the details, but I know that in …two or three months, I came to love JYJ to the point that I can`t breath now without them (well, in a figurative sense of speaking).
I was starting to learn Japanese and so for learning the pronunciation I watched (and still watch) youtube videos… so one day I came across a youtube video were they were (still as part of TVXQ) in a variety show, so they were only talking and I thought that these guys are kind of interesting, funny and kind, but most of all funny… so from then on I was searching for videos with/from them, believing that they were a Japanese boygroup. Later on I found more often videos with them speaking in another language and only then I was searching for detailed informations, found out that they are Korean and also that they were not together as group anymore…this was 2010. So I was reading all the stuff I could find about everything that happend to make up my own mind and oh my, that was hours of research and reading…after all that I came to the conclusion that I will follow JYJ… so well, that’s it (^_^)v
OK! here it goes,first i want to thank the JYJ3 team for giving us the chance to talk our obsession with JYJ out, i will introduce myself:
that i fell for him,i couldn’t watch anything without jaejoong in it! (strangely i realized that I’ve seen his name before countless of times ,when i went searching in polls to see who is the best in every domain in Korean entertainment, he is always first!!!!!!!!! yay)
i am a 27years old fan, i live in a country that is very far away from south Korea ( Algeria in north Africa), i do not think that there’s other fans from my country in here,i am a doctor ( a resident actually still under training to become a full radiologist)! and i am a fan of JYJ ( i think they should make it an information required in our identity papers ^^).
So; the beginning was with my obsession over Korean dramas! i watched so many of them! and i though they are better than American,Turkish and Indian dramas; so in September 2011, i stumbled over this drama called “PROTECT THE BOSS”; i began watching it and got hooked within the first episodes,i liked all the characters ,and when i watch a drama i like to do a full search information on the actors, so all i was getting in every website was JAEJOONG THIS ,JAEJOONG THAT; i though he was the one playing the main character, but then i learned that he the one playing his cousin, i did not understand how a drama can be full with all this amazing actors and the one most famous and the attraction of the drama was this JAEJOONG!!!!
trough out the series there was a song playing in the back-round ,i downloaded it ,made my in caller theme song,learned it by heart, and dreamed of it; it was so amazing i went to search for the singer,i found that THIS JAEJOONG actually sang it and composed and wrote it(it is i will protect you from PTB ost), i was so impressed, i did another research about jaejoong, i found out about DBSK, and there was a bunch of videos from his early days us a member, i watched a lot of his videos in shows(x man,jihwaza,come to play,happy together……ect), i instantly got attracted to his personality,he is so amazingly natural and down to earth and such a blabber mouth
so after obsessing with jaejoong’s personality(i swear i love it more than his looks! which is a quit welcomed addition )i began listening to there band music,as in DBSK,i still didn’t know about the split and JYJ, so i found out they had great songs(never been a k pop fan,only like the dramas) and then i discovered yuchun( whom i had already seen in SS drama…………i was sooooooooooo impressed and happy,they are actually friends! yay) and junsu( i was shocked because the 2nd song on my list that i loooooooooooooooove is TOO LOVE from SS ost by junsu),i passed a magical end of year 2012, with all those discoveries, i ve never obsessed about a celebrity before, jaejoong became my desktop picture my id photo everywhere(as you can see in my profile) i admire him beyond the limits…..
after a while when i had seen all there is to see about DBSK; i discovered about the lawsuit, and JYJ! i read all there is to read and seen all evidences; and then i admired those boys even more, THEY ARE FEARLESS!!!!!they went against this big company and they’re more famous than before( i mean come on ;i am a pretty good example of a fan who knows them after the split) i admired there talent in singing,acting,producing!!! and they sill are amazing us yet! i go everyday on JYJ3 to see the latest updates! i pray everyday to see them again on TV! i cried when yuchun’s dad died,and when they treated junsu unfairly !and recently my heart ached when jaejoong’s twitter got deleted!
i feel for them so much,when they win something,when they appear laughing on videos,, i feel so happy, when they are sad i feel sad;
i love them unconditionally, i even can’t explain!
my dream is to someday meet them! tell them how amazing they are, and how much i sincerely love them to pieces!!!!!!!
this was just a little bit of what i wanted to say! if given time i want to write more and more! bet yeah! I’ll maybe end up typing all night long;and still can’t do my boys justice!!
what can i say more! oh yeah……. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE JYJ and love every JYJ lover,
I apologize for any mistakes(English is my third language)…………………..yours dearly LESLIE
I became JYJ fans bcoz of MV IN HEAVEN i watched in my TV. first i heard their voice from that song, i instantly falling in love with JYJ. i think they are really great singer. I do love k-pop before, but i just find the greatest voice in the k-pop, IS JYJ. Then i become JYJ fans and follow their activities. i really Adore all JYJ members esp Junsu. Junsu like my inspiration. To make me more stronger.. more positive thinking, and must hardwork. And their frienship, teach me how to love each other and supporting each other. Their difficulty times and how to face it together really touched me. I will forever suppoet them no matter what. Thier music always give me inspiration and makes me happy. JYJ is the greatest boy group singer i ever know. im so proud of them. :’)
I first new Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu while still as a Tohoshinki member in the japanese new year program, Kouhaku Utagassen, in 2008. That time the only korean singer that I knew was BoA and to be honest, as a japanese descendant, I had some wrongs idea about korean music, people and stuff.
But, life play tricks on us! ….
They became my favorite band and… they separeted in the next year. It was frustrating, I must say.
It was quite difficult for me, since I was addicted to their music and when I read the news about them not being five anymore, I though: “It’s not going to be the same”…. and actually it wasn’t. It was way better! The music was that kind of music that you don’t need to understand the language to feel touched by it. And they way they went through a lot of things, the way did overcame the walls that SM put to them, and the the most important, without being dependant of anyone, just their talent, was amazing. It was damn beautiful. It made me fall for them even more.
They’re now a inexhaustible source of my dreams. When searching about them, when watching their concert, when reading the news and interviews… They made me make one of the most decisions og my life… Decide what to do in the future. What i’m going to spend the rest of my life doing.
I’m thankful. It’s because of them that I have a dream now. I’m really glad and thankful for meeting them.
And one day, as a professional, or even as a fan, I hope we can make them feel proud of us.. Of our fanclub as much as we feel proud of them now.
I’m their fan since 2008, one night I saw jaejoong face on a website but there was not any information about him, one of my friend who was next to me asked that who he was, I said that I didn’t know but lets find
it wasn’t like that I found him handsome but I felt an ambition to find him, so I spent my all night to find who he is, I didn’t sleep till sunrise 
AND ONE DAY, while I was watching one of the programs they participated, I saw his smile in a white suit, THEN, I was like, “I am sorry everything I did but I guess I like you 
”, since that day, I become a fan of them, I like all of JYJ members now, I like Jaejoong and his beautiful voice, I like Yoochun and his lovely smile 
Then I DID. I found DBSK, after watching their performances,some of my friend become fans of them. I didn’t know why again but I hated Junsu, seriously everthing he did was irritating me, I thought he was someone arrogant and annoying, I forgot the other members and I become an anti fan of Junsu, I joined many sites of his fanclubs and leaved harsh comments about him. Then I decided to learn everthing about him so that I could score of his fans who defended him.
While I was sitting my friends and talking about DBSK, I said so many bad things about Junsu, I always found a reason to decry him, I said that his voice is disgusting, he can’t dance, he looks like an stupid primary school student, even the way he holds the microphone was irritated me.
HOWEVER the more I learned about him, the more my hatred turned into love and respect, than I got the truths, his voice is so beautiful, he dances so well, he looks so cute and handsome, the way he holds microphone shows his passion for singing and the childish glance in his eyes show his pure soul
That is my story, after some of fans read this, maybe they will get angry to me
.It was recently, in fact. I’m from Spain. In here, korean music along with korean dramas started being popular around 2010. I wasn’t really interested at first, but one of my friends became a hardcore fan. She showed me different groups, but by then I wasn’t into pop music. Well, I was, but more artists like, for example, Björk. I was more into classical and rock. I used to think that kind of pop music wasn’t artistic in fact- just about money. Now that I think about it, I was really close-minded.
Since my friends were really in love with KPOP, I tried really hard to find KPOP’s charm. I listened groups like Super Junior, Beast, Big Bang, etc. I liked it, even if it wasn’t really my style, I could understand its popularity. But I continued underestimating it- it’s just commercial music, some of those guys can’t even really sing… Yes, it was addictive, and yes, it was entertaining, but nothing more.
But then was when DBSK arrived. At first, I didn’t really took them in importance. They had good and addicting songs, but something made me thing that maybe, just maybe, I could connect with this group. I was utterly right. And it wasn’t because of the hits that de SM writers used to write them, nor because they were handsome or nice. It was their singing.
I don’t have words to say how impressed was I when I heard a KPOP group singing and harmonizing like that. And a BOY BAND. They were maybe nearly as talented as Boyz II Men- and they were REALLY talented. But it wasn’t really about the technique- it was about the feeling. They knew how to share the feeling of the song. And I felt kind of stupid, tearing up because of a song inside a genre that I used to call frivolous.
That’s when I learnt that KPOP music wasn’t something to be underestimated. I started seeing it with other eyes. I could now explain how I fell in love with KPOP, but it would be really long. But KPOP was an industry variated, free and that could be artistic. I started to search more deeply and I discovered really great groups (even if my unconditional love was for DBSK and their amazing voices).
But not everything was good about this industry. And now is when JYJ enters. JYJ showed a lot of people what was wrong with that. At first, when I read about it, I was really surprised. I mean, if KPOP agencies were so fucked up, why there were just a little people standing for their rights? Why they just made like anything happened when a lot of underage boys and girls signed contracts that restringed them so much?
I started looking at them with other eyes. I followed their statements, all the things they said. They talked about freedom, about music. I saw, in fact, that THEY CARED. They cared about music. And they cared about justice. And they were brave enough to care of themselves. Even it a lot of people would talk about how selfish they were or how they only cared about money, they could stand up for what they believed. “Not, this isn’t right. I’m not happy with this, and I have the total right to try to correct it”.
I really admired them then. Not just like idols- I really admired them like human beings. People called them fake and greedy, but the only thing I could see was three honest and brave men.
And they had to endure a lot of hardships. They were rejected by people who used to be their friends. But they never gave up. That nobody wanted them to sell them songs? Well, they writed it. That they had difficulties performing in America? They tickets could be free then. How amazing is that?
It was around them when I became a fan. I can’t exactly say when, but I know it was around then. First, I followed their music. But now, I was a real fan. In fact, I love them. I guess I can’t help it.
HOW DID I BECOME A JYJ FAN??
so in conclusion how did i become a jyj fan? i was a fan since their debut in 2003 and got to love them even more as the years went by.. 
<3 you jyj. I WILL NO MATTER WHAT SUPPORT JYJ IN WHATEVER HAPPENS TO THE WORLD. I LOVE THEM AND I ADORE THEM.. <33
i became a fan since TVXQ’s debut in 2003. they are the only group that i have ever loved. i found there performances on tv when i was in korea. omg when i first saw and heard them they were just amazing..!! with their looks and their voices and their dances on stage. i found them my perfect group. they were honestly the gods of asia and the world. its been 9 years since i knew them and i havent regreted one thing at all. ever since i knew tvxq no group can ever beat them. i find it ridiculoud that people think justin biber is soo much better than anyone. but in my case no one in history will ever beat tvxq/jyj. it was such a tragic moment when tvxq broke up to a 2 member and 3 member split.. i think it what was meant to be is meant to be. i love both groups. but however i love jyj more.. jyj is just perfection. jaejoong with his charisma and charms and yoochun (my bias) with his amazing low voice and i love everything about him.. and omg junsu with his weird awkwardness that makes him so likable. I JUST LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT JYJ AND I RESPECT THEM AND THEY ARE MY IDOL!! I AM A HARDCORE JYJ FANN!!! I LOVE THEM AND i have to tell you that i saw jyj over the summer this year and omg they are like perfect.!! everything that u imagine amazng 3 guys. i love how they support each other and are close to each other. that is teamwork right there.
There are quite a lot of posts to read, I will read all story later
Bow for extra-long post.
I was looking a place to share my long story for long time but hesitate to share at the same time because this is so personal, contain arguable matter and contain my major fails.
First of all I have never been a fan of anyone, I like an actor in movie, a singer in a song, most of the time I don’t know their real names or never searched or follow their personal life, this might explain my major fails.
My background story
University is where you have friends enjoying, facing difficulty call exams and walking a common path together. After I finish 6 year of university and we got out from our mother university, there we start to face life, have different opinion and start to walk different path. I tried an English assessment test I got the mark need to sit oversea exam straight, so I follow my mom’s trip to sit an exam without much prepare. I failed and mom decide to send me abroad to study properly to pass that exam and to get used to it she made me stay with her for two months. Mom was working in different country while I was in university, I live with my aunt and my home is hang out for friends, I only have friends as family as I am not close to relatives.
SKKS
I don’t know where things go wrong when I got back, I was depress by my exam result, living with mom made me secluded, I don’t know whether is my fault for not calling everyone or is their opinion to think I am hiding. While I am moping around, my aunt forced me to watch SKKS, that drama brought me back to my university days where we think small things are matter of life & death, thinking ourselves heroes and we can change the world.
DBSK/TVXQ
YC attracted me, I think he look really handsome so I want to see how does he look in modern clothes, or is he old fashion like Lee Song joon, so I googled and there he is with 100 crazy hairs, I was like hell no way he is the boy with violet pants dancing in DBSK. I had quite negative view on idol, my prejudice was so big that’s why I didn’t take any interest while I watched DBSK many years back. As internet connection was not good back home, I went to a DVD shop & grabbed all DBSK related disc available.
I fall straight for 3 funny guys on the left, who make themselves point of laughter rather than being smart, I feel that is real manly. I loved their variety shows, they were like how I used to be with my friends. I took more interest when I know their breakup & follow their news, like as if their reunion will give me answer to my problem to reconcile with my friends. I pulled my hairs out when I find they are walking different path for sure, I felt like they lived together for 24/7 if they can’t reconcile there is no way I can with my friends I spent all time except sleeping time for 6 years, sound quite stupid right.
JYJ
When I ask one of my beloved friends that can I help in charity work he is doing he answered “our country has no place for who only want to work with big salary”. Those words shot me like a missile to my heart, I was so lost that how can my best friend think me that way. Is not about money, is not about living in other country, I want to go outside & see, learn, bring something different back. In that time JYJ taught me something “Friends who keep faith in you will follow u” friendship is not one way road, I can see all 3 boys loved those 2 members, even I can feel it why those 2 can’t, same case for me I love my friends, I still love & miss them but I cannot stand crying watching their back, I moved forward I played JYJ’s mission on repeat when I step on the plane that brought me to opposite side of the earth, even if no one believe me I will continue my mission and friends who believe in me slowly followed me one by one.
When I face difficulty I look up to JYJ they are same age with me, sometime I have no idea how these guys can handle all the matters so professionally, they are my encouragement, my problems disappear to nothing important in comparison.
I can practice in my country but to practice in this foreign country, there are steps to pass, like JYJ miss their stage, I miss my stage which is my work, no matter how exhausting it was to work, how your feet got swollen by walking at work place, I want to feel it again so bad. That’s why I always say I understand their craving to get to perform on stage.
Kim Jusu is who shook me awake like “idol can sing this way”, as I am rock fan jae is my favorite and I love timber of YC voice.
JYJ3
JYJ3 is the first fan site ever I used, I first clicked on a link & landed on GAPP, there is one girls running around asking “mommy hen did u see my twinne”, there are comment like “frying pan”, “duck butt”, “ seaweed monster”, my reaction was like is this cooking page and there is a mom & her twin daughters?
My major fails but I got addicted, I stalked JYJ3 very long time because I don’t know how to get notifications of reply and I worried I will miss my sisters replies, I used to read GAPP daily, until one sis called me to twitter. These days JYJ3 cannot open direct by Safari, it has to click something which I forgot, to comment it has to log in & that’s why my comments got lessen and back to stalking. Anyway, JYJ3 is still my newspaper, always thankful to all the admins for all the hard work. I am sure I won’t be a fangirling as I am to JYJ without JYJ3, I won’t get to know all lovely sisters without being here. Let’s walk with JYJ till the end.
If u read till here, thank you very much and very sorry to post this extra long post.
How I became I fan of JYJ… Well first when I was on high school I had a friend who loves Korean music, I really didn’t know why she was so into that, but It took my attention, she had her notebooks with photos of different boy and girls groups. So I asked myself why she loves to much this band groups.. and then I searched some groups than she told me.. and as you might think one group took my attention it was… TVXQ the performance of then was so amazing.. there were some kind of connection between them that I could feel it and the first some that I listened was Purple line.. and Jaejoong was the first one who I took interest because of his voice, and he is very handsome I have to admit… then after all the things that had happened I still follow them JYJ and TVXQ.
Focusing in JYJ they have really my support when they come out with The beginning I really love it..It was in English so it was more easy for me to understand than korean or japanese, even if english is not my natal language.. is spanish..
I’m going to continue supporting they, maybe you don’t know but there were a time when I was very sensitive, I was feeling sad.. and there were the song Colors by Jaejoong and Yuchun and when I heard this song I felt that it was made for me. I really will support JYJ not because I only like their music, is because They gave something, they gave happiness.. memories, they made me laugh and I really like this guys…
when I was around 15 years old, I’m 19 now.. I felt like how can someone can be a fan of one group for so many years ..but then after I knew about JYJ I understand why.. because even if you don’t know them.. they can make you feel happy only making jokes and be there. singing for you.
I became a fan of JYJ when they first started out as DBSK when I was in 5th grade. March 5, 2007. Approximately 6 years already! I remember clearly on that day, I was looking up some MVs and tributes to an anime and their live performance of “Begin” was featured at the side. I was curious about Japanese music since the only Japanese songs I’d listen to were the ones from anime so I decided to check it out. I remember thinking “THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME!!!” except for one particular member that stood out. I later found out his name was JaeJoong. <3 They were so good looking and sang so. freaking. amazing that I wanted to learn more about them. I spent the WHOLE DAY looking them up and became a fan instantly! Although JaeJoong was my bias, really, it was SO hard to choose from any of them! THEY WERE ALL SO LOVEABLE!!! I shared my love for them with all my friends. I would talk about them so much that my whole class knew about them! I learned Korean just so I would be able to understand them. Heck I would graffiti/doodle "동방신기" all over the place! x) I know and have heard all of their songs, I have so many of their merchandise, I watch any DBSK/JYJ videos I ever cross… I just.. love them SO much. I'm sure many can relate.
Anyways, to this day, there's no other group besides DBSK and JYJ that has ever made me feel this way. Now that I think about it, even with all of these new artists coming out, I've never really known anyone other than them. Anywhere JaeJoong is, I will follow so JYJ all the way <3 (Although Junsu is causing me to change my bias from time to time. UNCOMMITED IS JUST UNF. PERFECTION)
There was a period of time when I was stressed and depressed due to school and family issues. One day, my co-worker happened to have an extra ticket to Junsu’s World Tour Concert. She asked if I wanted to go…I wasn’t a fan of TVXQ or JYJ then….but I went anyway since she asked & it was free. I didn’t know any of Junsu’s songs so I was just sitting there dumbfoundead while other fans were cheering….UNTIL…Junsu sang “Why can’t you love me” from his Mozart musical. The lyrics and the emotion he put into the song broke me, and I couldn’t stop tearing. After that experience, I became a huge fan of Junsu and JYJ! I watched their interviews and music videos through Youtube…and you can basically say I’m a huge fan now. When I’m stressed and feeling down after a battle with my self esteem/family I can always turn to them to cheer me up
. I cant thank them enough… JYJ espesh JUNSU daebak<3
I came across TVXQ in 2007 on YouTube and was very impressed with Mirotic. I was a professional dancer and choreographer in Los Angeles for 20 years, and also have a background in music (had two shows produced in LA). I thought they were very talented and was impressed with their performance. When JYJ was formed, I continued to follow the group, and watch them grow as artists. I continue to support their efforts to make their own way in an industry which follows the old studio system we used to have in the USA. I am happy to watch very talented people thrive,a nd support them.
The way I became a fan of JYJ was through their song In Haven. I had heard of JYJ and DBSK before and even saw the mv for Get Out but I did not have that strong of an interest in them or in kpop. However, I saw the mv for In Heaven and I really fell in love with that song. The video was so amazing and I loved the voices of Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu. Because of this, I started to watch/listen to their others songs, watch the dramas they are in and also started to have interest in DBSK. As ridiculously embarrassing this is to say, JYJ is a group that makes me shake a little inside because I like them that much. It’s really funny how a single song made me so interested in JYJ but I really believe that their songs that make can cause that kind of result. I am so glad that I found JYJ.
I become a JYJ fan is because of Micky Yoochun
long time ago in 2008, i know TVXQ and the member who attracted my attention the most was Jaejoong, and when i see micky, i really hate him without any explanation,
maybe cz i think his face is arrogant n i heard many news about him that told he was a rough to his fans. I heard that he ever slap his female fans. So from that i really hate micky.
When TVXQ was separated, i know about them which started become JYJ, but i not yet become their fans.
when micky started to act in drama, although i hate him, i saw all his drama, SKKS, Miss Ripley and Rooftop Prince cz of the story line. Nah, in Rooftop Prince, i found that i started to like Yoochun, His smile, his cuteness, his passion etc attract my attention.
Since that i search many things about him and the fact about him makes me more like him more :p Its really silly and embarassing, from really hate yoochun to now i become really love him! its like i has cursed by leegak power! :p
and from that i started to become a fan of JYJ cz i found that they are really talented, kind, humble, cute and care to each other n their fans. Love JYJ so much!
How did I become a JYJ fan…… There’s so much to say about it……. Lets say I developed a taste for J-rock several years ago. While looking for new bands, I found out about Tohoshinki; “five Korean cuties to please the girls eyes and wishes” I thought at first, and Jaejoong captured my eyes instantly. “What a beautiful boy” I thought, and I was convinced he was the youngest of the five. Later I found out he was the oldest amongst the five LOL… It was impossible for me to think that at first sight because he had the beautiest and tenderest face I’ve seen in my life, so young and perfect…… When I took the time to listen at their music, I fell for their wonderful voices only to be shocked reading the news about their separation a few months later. Then I turned to be some sort of OT5 for lets say….. less than two months LOL They became some kind of sweet obsession for me. I started to look for info about them all over the web and one day I found The JYJFiles. I started to read all the articles, the wonderful translations, analysis and comments of our beloved Jimmie Kim and I started to understand the whole problem: The JYJ – HOMIN separation turned out to be nothing less than a Human Rights issue. Slowly but safely I started to simphatize with the JYJ cause and I fell for them entirely when I knew the difficult situation they were living due to the lawsuits and the blockings they were suffering; the total impossibility to be broadcasted in their own country, not a chance to hold a concert both in Korea and Japan and all the unfair and outrageous persecutions they were victims of. It was an undeniable fact that the three of them were the owners of the best voices in DBSK. Then, after listening at the TVXQ2 new album, Keep your head down, I cried noticing all the insults and the way they were mistreating JYJ and my heart became glued to JYJ and I abandoned the two other guys for good. My JYJ men became my sustitute of the sun; my sweetie pies and the objects of my admiration and my desire LOL One day I found JYJ3, and this wonderful site became my home and the origin of many wonderful friendships I’ve preserved until today. Now I must say I’m not the kind of person that turns to be a crazy fan for an artist; I’ve never been……. Not even when I was a younglin…… But JaeChunSu reached my heart and my soul with their inner and outer beauty without an equal…. Nowadays I’m lost within them…… I’m crazily in love with these three wonderful men…. Each one of them beautiful and talented in his own way…….. I’m crazy enough to have defied my own family to travel with my baby to meet them live in concert in Lima……. I’m crazy enough to say I am a true Xiapwa, a true Jaeharem and a true Chunsa for their wellfare….. I’m crazy enough to cherish all their music, all their pics, everything they’ve worked on……. All the things in which they’ve worked and put all their efforts to show us the best of their qualities and talents are precious and priceless to me……. All the love they have showed for us, their fans……. All the sacrifices they’ve done even despising their own health issues to put us in the first place……. All the established rules they have defy to please us….. For all those things and more, I have given them my heart and my love; my full support and my unconditonal loyalty until the end……. And I will be there, by their side, loving and supporting them endlessly……….. My loves…… My JYJ…… Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun and Kim Junsu
Cool, I posted my story and it dissapeared…….. Now it’s impossible to recover it…
Thanks God it reapeared I don’t know how, but it’s here
Thanks a lot dearies 
Heaven Angels bridged me with J.Y.J
I became a fan in 2007, when I was watching Japanese variety shows and looking for youtube videos for who sane the best live. DBSK’s Acapella had captured my attention and I replayed it for several times. Then, I dig in to learn more about 5 of them. Jeajoong became my favorite and with all the side story about this man, I can’t stop loving him ever since. I do think it’s a better thing that they become JYJ, a chance to allow them becoming real artists, rather than trapped in an idol setting of TVXQ. I have high hope to see them flowering into great artist producing amazing album and concerts.
I am a late joiner as well. I’ve recently (the last two years) had health issues, which lead to depression. I grew tired of American “fighter” television and “juvenile” anime. I watched “Protect the Boss” and laughed and cried. While I loved JJ’s voice, it didn’t turn me into a fan of JYJ. I was hesitant about watching SKKS because I was turned off by BFF. I finally watched it, and couldn’t get past the beautiful acting by PYC and singing of “Found You.” When I did some research and found out JJ and PYC were apart of the same group, I did some research. Blessedly, I “found” Junsu and was hooked! On good days and bad days these men lift me up! I love them! Seeing Junsu in August was the ultimate and I look forward to seeing more from them! JYJ3 is the first site I’ve ever “joined” I thank everyone for the translations, fancams, photos, and tweets.
ok..I also want to share my part.. I knew them back in 2008. at that time i’m not interested in Kpop. I am more to Jpop mostly Johnnys artist like News and Arashi. My frieds introduce me with this Korean group. I really do not interested even she show me Mirotic video. I’m really NEWS fanatic fans so I cannot accept others artist especially Korean..
To stop my friends from bubbly about DBSK I copy a few video by this group and promise that I will watch it (plan to delete it..haha).
A few weeks after that i try to watch one video by them call Midhoyo..wow..this song is really good..than I open one more Japanese video Is Time For Love…wowowowowow this group really DEMN talented!!!
Than I start to watch all the video and the video that comfirm my addicted with this group is collection of their banjun drama…wow..its so hillarious!!!
I watch back their Mirotic video!! wow..they really hot…all hansomeness in one video..yummi..at first I cannot differentiate between Junsu and Yoochun.. I thought they are siblings..I attracted first with Changmin because his dark skin..then Jaejoong..Woh this anime guy..is he Korean or Japanese??haha..
In afew weeks I think i have watch all their video that available in youtube..I also copy 100Gig video song and concert by them from my friends..I really addicted!!!
Then the rumour for the separation and lawsuit happen..my heart broken..I’m in state of denial so long..I love 5 of them..At his time I really hate SM cause they made this purfect group and brothers seperate..
I follow JYJ and Homin equally because I think they can work it and be together again..I follow JYJ in all activity after separation like Beginning album and I came to their showcase in KL (first time in my life).
At first I support JYJ in Avex but after Avex backstabing I think Avex is worse than SM(both worse company)
I thought before this Homin are still brothers to JYJ, they just cannot say anything because they still in SM. I give many excuse for them until they out with their album KYHD.
Wow..they change…all the mean thing and statement they give to their so call brothers.. I never heard any of JYJ member said something bad to Homin. Just their love and missing words. Start from that I became solely JYJ fans.. I dont give a demn about the other two.. I felt so hurt and dissapointed..
Now after 1 year..my hatred towards Homin just burn..I dont feel anything anymore maybe I became matured..hehe..I just follow JYJ..I never want to know any news or story for new TVXQ.
I follow this 3 young man that brave in making decision for their future. Never turn back!!!
I’m one of the happiest fan of JYJ and I glad I was one of JYJers..
JYJ is my life, they are my vitamin, music in my ear, visual for my eyes.. at this time of my life of 25 years old lady..I’m glad I found this incredible group and group of fans
JYJ forever..I luv you with all my heart!!
I was raised by my grandmother(from my mom side) until I was seven , due to a period in which my country faced communism until 1989. My parents would come and take me home just for the weekend, because they had to work very hard. So, my dear grandmother was a very important person to me,since I was born. I often say that I own my amazing childhood memories to her.
Years have passed, and here I am joggling between my full-time job and University classes. I still remember that day so clear, it was raining heavy and I had a rough day . My phone ranged, and mom told me, my grandmother has cancer.She had surgery, and I still remember how I stayed by her bedside waiting for her to wake-up from the effect of anesthetic. I hoped she will be fine, but the doctor said that there’s practically no hope! My whole world tumbled down and I transformed into a walking shadow. Usually I’m a very cheerful person, so when something is wrong everyone around me notice it. After eight months of holding up my hope, she died. And until this day , I still feel thorn apart that I never had the chance to say goodbye! The following period for me was hard.I fell into depression, and practically since my grandmother funeral I tried to not let a single tear fall again, no matter what happened.I didn’t want to feel pain again. On one work day my co-worker Simone gave me her mp3 to listen some music, because mine had a dead battery. I wasn’t even listening to the music, but I didn’t want silence to surround me either. And then I heard this first tune…so sad…so heartbreaking…and the voice…it was Kim Jaejoong’s “Insa”. Immediately my eyes, become watery and all the emotions,feelings I had piled up for almost one year , started to pour out of me. I went outside, in the backyard of the work building and just cried my eyes out, until I felt I had no more tears. I was feeling everything 10 times more exposed, because I had holding in feelings of guilt,hate,frustration, sadness. But since that day 15 september of 2009, I also became a fan of this one amazing person Kim Jaejoong and also JYJ. I owe him/them everything that I am today,because since then I’ve looked up to them and tried my best to always become better and never forget to be humble. They gave me back, what everyone else should have and never try to hide or betray : feelings! Even thou I became their fan through such a bad moment in my life, I have to admit that probably they were heaven sent. JYJ I will always walk beside you and support in every way I can! If I’ll ever meet them, the first thing I will do is to bow to them for as long as I can!
I came across JYJ when they were still a part of DBSK. Honestly, you would think that as an OT5er I’d be devastated that they disbanded, but I couldn’t ever be more proud of them. They became my inspirations & my role-models. Their actions are like my bible. They go through so much, face so many hardships and yet they’re still going……….still moving forward, striving for what they want. Because of those 3 boys, I’ve now made it my life’s motto to live like them, to always give my best effort, not because someones watching, but for the satisfaction of my own self. Watching the way they conduct there lives has inspired me unbelievably. Not only are their work ethics amazing, but these boys are BEYOND talented. I can listen to Junsu’s voice for hours as it cradles me into a sweet lullaby…. and not to mention Jaejoong’s voice, but I’d die a bittersweet happiness listening to him. And don’t get me started with Yoochun’s husky voice, it has an edge to it that I can’t explain. And best of all, I love how these 3 boys lose themselves on stage as they sing. DBSK is how I met JYJ. But this is how I fell in love with them.
How did I become a fan?
the first time i see Kim Jaejoong was when i watch “Protect The Boss” drama.
i was just staring and gazing at him. i thought who is this man?
with his big eyes, handsome nose and perfect shaped face i thought he’s an angel for sure.
Then i started find out about him. i knew then that he is a part of JYJ, and formerly TVXQ.
i think i’m startled when i heard him singing. his voice just so smooth and calming my heart. i’m not a korean, so i don’t really understands at what is the meaning of the song, but even with language barrier, he gets me. i can feel how he cried out his heart in his song. That’s so beautiful, amazingly beautiful. Kim jaejoong, Park Yoochun and Kim junsu are simply an angel right?
i want to know them deeper, so i find out about their career line. from all of that happens, i just know that they are hardworking and to get in this state, sure it wouldn’t be easy. i can’t imagine how much sweat and how much tears they’ve shared.
They’re shine so much because their heart is shining beautifully. They are so hardworking, they never give up and heartwarming, i know i can’t find someone like them. They deserves the best. I love you JYJ..
I became a fan in 2009 when they still in TVXQ
and the story begin when my friend suddenly appear in front of me and scream at me “open youtube.. I wanna look “dangerous love”
and I just allow her to open it and watch it with her..
when I look at jaejoong.. I fallin’ love with him..
It’s like “oh my god.. he’s so perfect” so I asked my friend who is he..
so after that I download all about them.. and I fallin’ for their voices too..
and now I love junsu very much.. but I’ll always support JYJ because they’re they
Just to share my story , nothing else
I remember I’ve been fan since 2005/2006 I was jaejoong biased,but never considered myself as a part of the fandom _cassiopia_ as I didn’t like how they treated him or even the rest of the group.I wanted to be a fan , then I’ve been thought that jae is omma and yun is appa changmin is a son yoochun and junsu young couple, but my mind couldn’t accept it, as a fan I was lost within many stories about how jae and jaeharem doesn’t like junsu or xiahpwas but I was jaeharem and I never felt this way about junsu , but again I wasn’t fan of him either.as a fan I needed to learn many stuff that my logic refused,because miracles happens! lot of gossips and lies in order to make a full picture of what they want to see. Sometime I would ask myself if I was the only one that actually could see the scripted concept that the boys have to wear every day… However I loved them sincerely and only blamed their ex.company for that. Years passed I’ve become friends of many OT5 , we still are, maybe because both of us could read fics and have fun with out mixen it with reality and destroy the honey taste of honesty .But somehow near mirotic promotion I kind of got tiered from all of this and I shut this whole circle down with full stop ,That was even before they break up. I become fan of many groups and solos in this period of time : rain,tie,kim Jong kook,shinhwa,2pm,b2st,cn blue etc..even though their fans were nice and cooperative, I still felt incomplete.till one day I was surfing the youtube And stopped on one of the most beautiful videos that makes many died sense come back to live, it was Mozart I’m the music , I cried a lot that night as I kept it on repeat .. Tell the dawn knocked my window to shine up my room. I could never forget this moment, how I start rewatch every single video in of the past but now in complete new vision, reading articles about the lawsuit that I used to pass by and only left a mocking smile to it..how ironic it’s , I comeback again but now as Jyjfan and junsu biased that I smile and adore every single moves or sound from him, I learned how I love jae for the person he is , the one that loves his BOTH brothers equally . I learned how to laugh at yoochun’s trolls moments … I learned that I love JYj , Only .
How did I become JYJ fan???
It was around July 2011. Actually I’m not realized their appearance for about 2 years. The examples of their unrealized appearances are:
1. They were Kim Hyun Joong friends (Flower boy I admire at most). I know that both Kim Hyun Joong & Kim Jae Joong were 4D BFF (hahahaha) & yet don’t know that Jae Joong was JYJ nor DBSK.
2. They came to EHB & make me mad, “DBSK??Who are they??I’m curious they can beat suju both in spicy & physical competition”. Huh
3. One piece ost ‘We Are’. I just loved the singers voice, but Idon’t know n don’t care that it was DBSK voice. I just like to listening that song.
Until the time comes, my friend show me her DBSK videos (bolero & dousite kimi wa suki ni natte…):-) n I loved that songs, And I just realize that I’ve seen them in any drama when I’ve 2nd year in college. Guess what the drama title?? It’s Vacation. I remember when I see Vacation, I just tearing for the line “mom” from jaejoong n I laugh out loud because of junsu’s acting n I kind of liking his weird nassal voice. I remember junsu’s beautiful thing is suitable for yoochun scenes. It drive me to looking for any information about 2 jyj members n brought me to download any funny video of their clumsiness, such as King Men Parody, Saipan Vacation. All of the video can entertain n comfort me in every hardship I get. I just knowing they were split into JYJ, early this year. For almost 1,5 years I’ve download their video, drama n interview just to make me laugh, such as JYJ MBN prank talk, black day interview, event junsu’s NG trough SOAW can make me laugh. The fact is I deny that I loved them and I think I’m not a fan, because I think that’s useless and however I’m not giving anything to them.
The climax happens when I feel guilty because can’t see jaejoong fanmeeting 2 days ago. : I’m Indonesian, I live temporer at Jakarta. but I can’t make it just because my family were on sad situation n I don’t have money eventhough I’ve been hired 2 months ago. Yeah, that’s added my sadness, when on June I can’t see junsu’s concert. That’s because I had Final Project Presentation 1 day after & I don’t have enough money (College student is the poorest person I think). Hufftttt.. I loved to listening junsu’s voice… I’m listening Kimi ga ireba instead and print poster of some junsu’s ekspression during NII photoshoot, JYJ and junsu’s cat.
I’ve dreamed of JYJ especially junsu 3 times. First dream happen on around February, I came to their concert, they are not recognized me at all and just passes me by who was beside them. Second, jaejoong recognized me and he tell junsu to at least smile to me, and he did. Third, I can see junsu clearly for about 3 metres, he is singing. Hwaaaa, I wish that dream comes true. If I’ve a chance to meet them, I would ask for kindness to singing me “Hero” by Mariah Carey rather than a hug, photo or sign poster. I think it’s suitable song for their situations, and it affect on me.
Now, I realized that I loved junsu, jaejoong and yoochun. Like jaejoong who was craving for popularity, I was craving for their information, creativity, song, and kindness as well. Several days ago (before jaejoong FM) I’ve decided to become JYJ fan and will support all their decision. And one day I will come to their concert, for sure. I’m on my way saving money just for making that wish to be true. I even make a resolution for my life “at least once in your life you can listening junsu’s voice live”. Haha.. But I must make a boundaries while looking for their activity, so that I’m not becoming a sasaeng fan..
Are the story and reality above can prove my concern about JYJ?? And can I be called as JYJ fan?? Especially junsu.. I hope my wish can be true, I always support them anytime and not being a pasif fan anymore. I want to declare that I admire them as well as jaejoong as my inspirator, with all struggle he got since he was a kid. Hopefully you get happy life soon jaejoong, and for junsu , yoochun too. And yesterday I read this post and now I reply with my own story..JYJ hwaiting, jaejoong hwaiting, yoochun hwaiting, junsu hwaiting, lindo hwaiting , JYJ3.net hwaiting That’s how I did become JYJ fan. Sorry for the long history explanation with bad grammar, hopefully you are not sleepy while reading this. Sorry too for not taking a credit before.
Being fond of watching Korean dramas online, I became insanely addicted over Park Yoochun after watching Rooftop Prince around August. I started searching for his name on the net, read articles about him, and even watched almost all relevant videos on youtube. I then found out that he was originally a member of the famous boyband TVXQ and later on, JYJ. Though I wasn’t yet a fan of K-pop that time, I became eager on watching their concerts on youtube, as well as their music videos. I even cried over the “In Heaven” full MV.
That was the time I realized that I wasn’t listening to their songs because I like Micky. I realized that I was hooked up with their music. I found their music and style unique because of the soul there is in every song, and it proved how great they were as singers and composers. I won’t lie for admiring them as part of the former TVXQ. I’ve watched other Kpop boybands perform and I can say no other bands could even be slightly close to their greatness. All five of them were like the legends of the Kpop world. Each one has been blessed with great voice and talent. The issue for me is not how long an individual have been a fan, but how big his/her love for the idols and how long he/she would remain as a fan. I love Park Yoochun so much, but I love JYJ more. My simple happiness would be to see them strong and complete as a group.
So yes, I’ve only been a fan for 3 months now but I am sincerely supporting and loving each one of them more day by day. I still have a lot to learn about them, and I am willing to know them even if it takes years. One thing is for sure, I know they’re not perfect, and I know in myself that I am a fan. Whatever mistakes they make and made, I will still be their fan and I would NEVER regret it. The greatest dream I ever wished to be fulfilled is not only to see them personally, but to be able to listen to their music even in the next 10-20 years or more.
JYJ ♥
I became a fan of JYJ after I heard the song “Tarantallegra” which I heard and saw on YouTube. Had never heard of JYJ before and I was not into KPop. But I was so amazed by Junsu’s performance in “T” that I decided to investigate. I sent out a notice on YouTube about how to find out more about JYJ and someone told me to look up JYJ3. I was so bummed out because JYJ had just played the Galen Center in Los Angeles, I had missed them by a few months. Now I walk by and stare at the Galen Center and say, “Wow, JYJ played here.”
I started reading about JYJ and the struggles they were going through in Korea about being banned, and my heart went out to them. I am always on the side of people who are being treated unfairly.What I love about reading this website is that I am learning a lot about Korean culture and different information (hey, Korea’s main airport is Incheon)!, It is funny to me that in Korea, when a well known artist in Korea gets a DUI it is considered a scandal while EVERYTHING is reported on artists in the U. S, (drug use, drunkeness, infidelities, cat fights, guns pulled, you name it–they are reported daily on the entertainment and news TV shows here).
I really admire the hard work ethic of the Korean people, and I am especially impressed with CJes and what they have done to promote the boys despite the ban. They are doing an INCREDIBLE job placing them in advertisements, dramas, musicals, fan meets, you name it. I am learning a lot about marketing just by watching CJes’ moves.
As for JYJ, it has been interesting learning about their activities, lives and personalities. I go to the JYJ site every day just to read the latest news, it’s like a drama or a soap opera (lol). Junsu is probably my favorite, I admire his boldness to break barriers (first solo KPop artist to appear in several countries–I admire that, it takes guts) and I will always love him for making “Tarantallegra”, which I think is brilliant. I am still amazed that this song and video came from the one they call “baby su” when he portrayed a quite shocking persona in “Tarantallegra”. I REALLY started watching him after that.
Jaejoong to me is like the “Justin Bieber” of Korea, so many, many screaming fans. I think his face is striking–I keep staring at it. I also admire his business mind. I think he might eventually become a future business mogul in Korea with Coffee Cojjee and other business projects he comes up with.
Chunnie–I saw several videos of him and thought his voice was so cool. He has a great voice, and I am amazed by his growth as an actor–he is a real natural.He has become a major actor in just a few short years!
Oh, yeah–I am really impressed by JYJ’s fans, who are amazing. They support everything the boys do to the max. They are JYJ “fighting”! I learn a lot from them about loyalty and never giving up.
Okay, enough rambling on.
I came across Mirotic MV in 2008, I have become a fan, started listening to TVXQ and then some other KPOP stuff, then they announced the lawsuit (oh god that was really a BIG BIG shock!), I have followed JYJ and I’m still listening to them and growing up with them <3
p.s.: It's very interesting to read all your stories <3
I have just completed a major project at work, and have been rewarding myself these past 2 days by reading the stories above, and I must admit that this was a brilliant idea – to get everyone to share their experiences, which translates to us sharing a part of our lives…the JYJ part…with one another.
How did I become a fan of JYJ? Well, the relationship started quite accidentally many, many moons ago
While listening to some catchy Kdrama OSTs on YouTube, I was curious about a title at the side : ‘Why Did I Fall in Love With You (Doushite)’. Being a hopeless romantic, I immediately clicked on the MV… and that was my downfall 
The song and MV tugged at the heartstrings and I kept replaying it over and over again for several hours that night. I especially loved their live version (at Tokyo Dome) and even though I didn’t understand a word of it, I fell for them hook, line and sinker!
The next day, I googled DBSK and found out everything about the 5 guys. I discovered their other songs and fell in love with each one of them…the songs and the guys! The next few years, I devoured everything about these boys – the interviews, the variety shows, performances, the banjun dramas, everything! No other group mattered. I stopped listening to English songs even. So, when news broke of a possible split, and when finally it happened, I was devastated. It was heart-wrenching to then witness the ugliness of the divorce – between JaeChunSu and SMEnt, between the members themselves, and also between Cassiopeias.
Why did I choose JYJ? I NEVER intended to pick any side, but when news broke about the slave contract, the punishing schedules, the profiteering by SM, and (last straw) the blocking of JYJ’s activities in Korea and Japan, I was enraged. I felt for the boys and gained new respect for Jaejoong, YooChun and Junsu for standing up for their rights, for demanding compensation, for highlighting to Korea the evil that lies behind the glitz and glamour in the industry, and for risking their dreams, fame and livelihood to pursue a separate career from DBSK. I believed in them, in their fight for justice and fair treatment, and could not look the other way. So, that was how I continued my support for JYJ and not HoMin. Also, it helped that my beautiful Angel, my sexy duckbutt Kim Junsu was part of the trio….hehehe.
While I do not support HoMin’s songs and activities (tantamount to supporting SMEnt to me), I will not bash them. I truly wish them well and hope they find happiness in their lives.
While the head acknowledges that all evidences point to JYJ and HoMin moving and growing on separate, divergent paths, the heart remembers and holds onto the past, and childishly and stubbornly refuses to let go of an impossible dream
Today my life revolves, in many ways, around JYJ. I have never regretted my decision but It scares me sometimes how I am so affected by what goes on in their lives. Jaejoong, YooChun and Junsu are exceptionally talented and fascinating young men (a.k.a adorable dorks). I have been inspired by their positive thinking, humble ways, and never-say-die spirit. Despite all the odds against them, they have accomplished so much in these three years. I am so proud of them.
Though this journey with JYJ is like a roller-coaster ride that cannot end, I will support my 3 boys…erm men…forever!
JYJ saranghae!
HOW DID YOU BECOME A FAN OF JYJ?
1st, i hear their voice around 2007, era TVXQ really famous in Japan..’loving you’
i was a Jsongs maniac, and Jaejoong voice really good, his voice was a Japanese character! Never Knew TVXQ was a korean group singer..and his name Jaejoong, but i love his voice ^^
i thought they were from Japan..but in that time, i dont really care, coz i’m in love with bollywood–Shah Rukh Khan, a manga addict and love Larc~ En Ciel than fangirling any idols..
but when i’m going to college, my friend told me bout ..take a look, he’s sooo handsome..He is Jaejoong, good looking right?
me: hmm..dunno… [ i dont care at all]
then i heard bout Korean Songs, my friend promoted their band–she was a kpop lover, i dont care..just accepted in my laptop that she used to download all her songs…
someday, i wanna deleted all file from ‘download folder’, its full her Korean songs–i tried to see & listen it one by one..
one song, BOOM my head! IN HEAVEN!!
i confused, who is that? i’m googling around..their name : J.Y.J
i thought i ever heard this voice before but who? hmm…
i was listening only IN HEAVEN for one month!
i was searching JYJ, all bout JYJ…ALL!
who’s the MV model, learn their voice, try to recognize their voice…

HOW DID YOU BECOME A FAN OF JYJ?
1st, i hear their voice around 2007, era TVXQ really famous in Japan..’loving you’
i was a Jsongs maniac, and Jaejoong voice really good, his voice was a Japanese character! Never Knew TVXQ was a korean group singer..and his name Jaejoong, but i love his voice ^^
i thought they were from Japan..but in that time, i dont really care, coz i’m in love with bollywood–Shah Rukh Khan, a manga addict and love Larc~ En Ciel than fangirling any idols..
but when i’m going to college, my friend told me bout ..take a look, he’s sooo handsome..He is Jaejoong, good looking right?
me: hmm..dunno… [ i dont care at all]
then i heard bout Korean Songs, my friend promoted their band–she was a kpop lover, i dont care..just accepted in my laptop that she used to download all her songs…
someday, i wanna deleted all file from ‘download folder’, its full her Korean songs–i tried to see & listen it one by one..
one song, BOOM my head! IN HEAVEN!!
i confused, who is that? i’m googling around..their name : J.Y.J
i thought i ever heard this voice before but who? hmm…
i was listening only IN HEAVEN for one month!
i was searching JYJ, all bout JYJ…ALL!
who’s the MV model, learn their voice, try to recognize their voice…
then officially i announce to my friend: ‘ok, i’m falling in love with JYJ”
how stupid i am, why i cant remember his voice from DBSK, Jpop singers?
i lalready listened “Bolero-Why did i falling in love with you-tokiwo tomete-bye bye love- heart mind & soul-We’re-share the world-survivor-maze”…and i knew his voice but never knew his face LOL..Kim Jaejoong…

How did I become fan of JYJ?
For years, I’ve become every artists fan, but not the loyal one. You know just hear their music and find it easy listening, until one day I “stuck” with this people called TVXQ! and just want to listening about them. Feels like in love again
Honestly, from TVXQ! I now JYJ. In the beginning, I’m not into K-Pop, K-Drama or anything related to Korea but because of my friend now I’m sooo much into it. I also not felt love at the first sight with them, hehehe. Starting in 2007 (if I’m not mistaken) she and her room mate came to my room with the bright and fire spirit to showed me “Balloon” MV. They even yelling with happy tone and full of confident, ” You must watch this, I bet you like them, for surely and automatically!” Then we watched it together and they were clapping and feel happy about the boy band. MV was finish and when they asked me I just feel “SO SO”. I mean they are great in terms of voice, but with that style, the costume I am not interested. My friends felt dumb and gloomy. (You know in the cartoon or comic, there will be a crow cross in your head or the black aura and the line come out.. LOL).
Later on, exactly for 1 year later, accidentally I came across them again in Mirotic! This is the MV that make me fall in love with them. I boasted it up to my friend and she teased me when I asked about her collection, “I thought someone said that she is not interested and feel “SO SO” about this boy band” I just replied her with cheesy laugh and said, “Hehe, every one can change what they like”
Time goes by, and I stick with JYJ because besides the songs, there is JAEJOONG! He is my motivation and really inspire me about love, hardworking, motivation, friendship, sincere, etc. Yoochun and Junsu also lovable. >.<
One thing for sure, for me, become fan of JYJ or TVXQ is the same. I love how the way they are, because they are started their aim and goal together.
hahaha… it’s not 2007 tia, it’s 2008.. one week after midterm break finish.. *just want to recall your memory..:D
~ Your LOVE is All I Need ~
“Doushite kimi wo suki ni shimattandarou” ?
“Tonight” i’m going to “Share The World” some of my “Unforgetable” memory about you.
I “Begin” to “Lovin’ you” since your first debut single “Hug”…
“The Way U Are” when singing & performing on the stage look like “Rising Sun” to me…
“I Believe…” because of your “SHINE” , you “DRIVE” me here under your “Sky”…
Hmm..this is “My Destiny” …i guess so~
When i look into your “DARKNESS EYES” , i see a “PARADISE” where nobody else…
“Found You”…only you…”The Picture of You…”
Please “Don’t Say Goodbye” to me and “Stay With Me Tonight”~
I wish this could be “Eternal”…
You have taken away my “Heart , Mind & Soul”…i’m so “CRAZY LOVE” about you…
I’m a “Choosey Lover” who need “Somebody To Love”…let’s get “Together” to build “Colors – Melody & Harmony”.
“You’re” the “Survivor”…
forget all those hates & fakes…
“Don’t Cry My Lover”…”Holding Back The Tears…”
I would give my “Forever Love” to you…
I prove to you “Love in the Ice” which would never melt in any condition~
“Wasurenaide” , under the stage lots of red “Balloons” – who never give up on you & “ALWAYS KEEP THE FAITH” to you until the year “9095″ ~ where hopefully we would meet “In Heaven”
“I Love You” ~
I love and like JYJ since they were in TVXQ..my 1st impression on them were not so appealing due to the fashion they’re wearing..i told my sis OMG where got ppl wear this kind of attire (T/N : during the “The Way U Are” MV) ..surely they debut cz they have a pretty face..But when i hear their song for the 1st time..woww all of them really know how to sing even w/out music..dancing was good too..so AMAZING..after that i started to love them sooo much..they’ve become irreplaceable idols in just few years after they debuted..grabbing almost year end awards..not much later in 2009, their sudden announcement were actually shocking me..then in early 2010, the debuted as JYJ in Thanksgiving Live in Dome concert..eventually i follow them till now..the three of them really gone thro many hardships and yet obtain the recognition in the industry..their success means alots to them and also to us as fan..
“Proud” to be your fan..i would always “Stand By U” forever..
Hwaiting JYJ !!! Hwaiting Kim Jae Joong !!! Hwaiting Park Yoo Chun !!! Hwaiting Kim Jun Su !!!
I swear that it was the first time I heard Yoochun’s “Really Wanna Touch My Self” lines of Purple Line in 2008, 60th anniversary performance( I gave link at the end); I became a JYJ fangirl Sure, They were DBSK but everything is for the consequence. Then , When I look carefully this performance, from the 5 years old children and 60 years old uncles were watching them with love and proud. So I understood that there is more deep quality in these boys. They became more excellent with the audiences. So after this time I was a Cassiopeia. In realty, I knew k-pop but hadn’t listen so much. These five men gave quality to k-pop on my view. Although They broke up, I supported both sides. But, JYJ was in a noble war so my %80 of heart was with them. They choosed freedom and showed hard efforts on this way so this situation made them more excellent in my eyes and heart. Finally, as long as JUNSU is k-pop most beautiful voice, JAEJOONG is the most beautiful face, YOOCHUN is the most beautiful soul and They have all these three qualities; Even after 300 years, I will be a JYJ fangirl. Always Keep The Faith.
LINKfor the performance: http://youtu.be/2OktD5yo1Zk
I became a fan of JYJ after watching Yoochun in Sungkyunkwan Scandal. The OST they sang for the drama drew me in, and I’ve been a fan ever since.
Now, I can’t remember the exact time when did I meet with these angel guys… But I remember that I was discovering fascinating Korea newly…. I was dowloanding a few K-pop musics as far as I can. But there wasn’t the name of one song….
One day, I met with 3 Korean girl tourists who I have invited to my home and I said her to lissen the song and tell me the name of this song.
She said that this is “PURPLE LİNE” which is a song that DBSK sing…
Also she showed a photograph of lovely Junsu. Because of that ,Junsu has a special place in my heart
After that I started to check all the songs… musics… mini dramas and movies…
I can say that they are all caused to open the door of K-POP WORLD….
Still I proud of them and always try to follow their foodsteps even I live in the other side of this big world….
Always keep the faith JaeYooJun ^.^
How i became a JYJ fan?? I became a fan by chance, when they came out with the mv Ayy girl on Otober 2010. I was looking for new music and new groups to hear on Youtube when i top myself with the mv. The mv got my attention. I start researching about them more and more. I immediately became interested and in love with them. i was looking for something different from you always see in the music industry. Something fresh, something with some meaning and I find it in JYJ.
*How I have become a huge fan of JYJ*
Wow! This question takes me back to 2005…
Thanks to my sister who was the one interested in the Kpop world, she is the one who told me about DBSK. We always choose our bias from each group so she showed me their pictures and I chose Kim Jaejoong <3
Since that day I became curious about their songs so I decided to listen to their songs… I simply fell in LOVE! I was very impressed how AMAZING they were. Their harmony was just PERFECT!!! I, like any other fan, started to catch up with their previous albums / songs, activities, shows, performances…etc.
My admiration has been growing day by day…
I was scared to death when I read about the split in 2009 I was honestly extremely scared and worried because I've never expect that the band I’m falling in love with each day will be disband! The worst part was when I kept thinking of what will happen to JYJ… No more Jaejoong for me?
Thank God my worries went away when JYJ united and formed into a successful trial. I wasn’t worried at all when I knew that JYJ will be on their own because they do have the best voices, don’t they? Plus, they were my 3 favorites from the very beginning to be honest, so I was glad that the 3 of them decided to leave SME together and stay together as a group… you guys never fail us ^^
Like I've said earlier that Jaejoong is my bias therefore I’m a JYJ fan, and I’ll keep supporting this guy forever ;] I believe that JYJ owns such magnificent voices. Those guys are handsome, yes, everyone knows that but the first thing that captures my interest was the way they sing,,, it is just full of emotion! They make me feel the lyrics and live the story as if I’m the main character. Might sounds silly but that’s how I really feel.
I’m so happy that they not only can sing but can do many other things too. Their acting skills are just amazing; I've never thought that they will become such excellent actors because acting is not an easy thing to do. I’m deeply in love with their characters and their dramas are just wonderful… I’m so proud of them and I hope to continue watching them in the acting field.
They have proved to everyone that no one will bring them down and that they are strong and will continue to do what they love to do. Seriously with all the drama with SME and the hardship that they are facing they are working so hard for us; their loyal fans.
I’m glad that I’m a fan of JYJ because they are truly the best… I’ve learned a lot from them. I know that I’ll always be by their sides no matter what. I keep ‘Always keep the faith’ in front of my sight because it gives me hope and makes me believe that no matter what I’m facing I’ll get through it because eventually things will be fine.
I keep looking for their news here and there (Of course on the internet) and this is how I came across this superb blog. I have become an addict because JYJ3 = JYJ’s world. I visit it every day and actually every time I’m online.
One of my dreams is to go to Korea and get to see them some day.
Finally I would like to thank my sister from the bottom of my heart because she is the one who introduced me to these guys… <3
Thank you JYJ3 for your hard word and congratulations on your success and for having such a beautiful blog.
I hope you enjoyed reading my humble story.
Ps/ I'll edit my post later.
I’ve notice that I have mistakes that’s because I was typing it at 3: something AM xD
I’ll correct it by posting something better later.. ;]
noticed* :\
I’ve been thinking if I should write my story or not, and after so much deliberation I decided to finally do it. This is actually my first time talking (writing about it) that I actually not sure myself how I became a FAN.
It was 2006 actually, October, 2006. I was born in El Salvador and now I live in the United States. I don’t understand or speak Korean, or any other Asian language. My understanding of Korea was limited and honestly did not know anything about Korean music, dramas, celebrities and all that. I came across the Korean world due to my lack of sleep when I was very sick with the flu. I remember that a particular cold October I was very sick and I couldn’t even sleep, so the only thing that I did to maintain my mind occupy (instead of feeling and thinking about my symptoms) I started to explore youtube. I clicked on every video that I lay eyes upon. I didn’t care what language it was, or if I could understand what people were saying. You know how when you see a video they recommend other similar ones? Well I was doing that. I would watch a video and when this one was finished I clicked the first one of the recommended videos. Well do this dynamic; I started watching a lot of Asian music videos and fan videos. The video that actually took me to DBSK/JYJ was not a Korean band but Japanese, I learned this later, when I started to get more curious about Asian music. It was Arashi, and because of this, I feel a special connection with this band as well.
Once the Arashi music video finished, there was a video that got my attention it said something about the first time DBSK in this variety show all together. I was actually curious what this meant and that is why I click on the video. This variety was the one where they played the game of catching the mouse. It was very funny and had subtitles. Because this program may me laugh so much I continue watching more of it, and I did not really pay attention to the guests of that particular episode. But once I was hooked in this variety program, they made a lot of references to DBSK and IDOL groups that I started to wonder why this was.
The first song that I listened about them was “O” and I thought it was good. I was attracted to the middle member of the five-member group. His body language, his physical features, and his beautiful voice, was a wonderland to me. Because I wanted to know more of him, I started to watch and learn more about the group he was in. I became such a fan of the group thanks to Jaejoong that I started to be a fan. I would buy their music, and DVDS, and products from websites that I never knew existed before! Like yesasia!!
Years passed, and I was still a fan of them. I even started learning Japanese because they were doing a lot of Japanese promotions for quite some time. And then 2009 happened. Without thinking twice I followed JYJ leaving the rest of the group behind. Many may think that I did it because of my biased toward Jaejoong but it is not it. It is actually more than that. I believe that any people that feel oppressed have the right and the power to leave this behind, if they want to. Obviously, they were feeling this. I cannot imagine how hard it was for them to take this decision, but they did it, in order to get the freedom and the rights that they so deserve. I truly respect all three of them, for being so brave and encouraging others to fight for their rights and dreams.
Every time they are recognized, I feel so proud of them. I have seen them grow, we have grown, together. They are more mature, wise, and humble more than ever. I will continue to support them till the end. And I wish for them a long and healthy life.
JYJ. FOREVER.

Hi guys….congratz for the 40 m web hits
Now, time to share my experience to know JYJ.
It was started when I came back to work and to finish my thesis in 2010. I was a single parent with my three-month-old baby living with my mom in Madiun, while I need to work in Surabaya, Indonesia. So, basically I have to live separately with my mom and my son. I must work to earn money to support my family. I had no contact and no communication at all with my ex-husband and his entire family members. They couldn’t be tracked. It’s ironic actually, but I must do so. I must survive no matter what since the financial matters of all my family members (including my mom, son, old uncle, and unemployed cousin), whereas I also had not finished my thesis at that time. Phewww….
one day I got a call from a pre-school, and I was asked to teach there. The owner knew my cellphone number from my ex-student. I was accepted, and started to work although I had to leave my three-month-old baby boy at home. While I was working at my office, I read an article about DB5K/ Tohoshinki. It was a simple review of album, the pictures were very small too. The review said that the songs in the album are great, despite the language barriers. Feeling curious,then I started to browse the songs and downloaded from 4shared. I just downloaded two songs at that time, Lovin’ You and Why Did I fall in love with You, without ever listening to the songs before. I just chose the songs because of the tittles. After downloading and listening to the songs, I fell in love with their voices. I got goosebumps as I watched the Music videos. After that, I started to download more songs of them. I influenced my coworkers to fall n love with DB5K/ Tohoshinki. My colleague who graduated from Japanese language department was surprised as the singers are Korean,not Japanese. She said that their Japanese is very fluent. Later on, she became Yoochun’s bias. Another colleague who is a student at Germany language department (surprisingly, we came from the same university: the State University of Surabaya) started to fall in love with Junsu. At that time my bias was Jaejoong. Then, three of us talked about, listen to the songs of DB5K/Tohoshinki.
Feeling so excited about the boys, we felt shocked as we know the fact that our biases (Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu) had left SME. Then I monitored their news, because my heart is for the trio. Thinking that sharingyoochun.com also supports the other two DB5K members while the facts show irony for the trio. So it was first from sharingyoochun.com until I found JYJ3 (it was still very quiet at that time, he he he).
As time went by, I felt that I needed more financial support, so I needed to work harder. For that reason, I started to accept a challenge as private teacher, a thesis consultant for another English student (although I had to finish my own too at that time), etc. Thus, I needed to learn and read more. At night, when I was lonely and missed my baby boy and my mom, I listened to JYJ songs. I cried silently. I was really touched by their voices, as if their voices are the best soundtracks of my life. I was completely moved by their struggles against all odds, just imagining myself in that position.
Thanks to JYJ and their songs, I finally got my inspiration to finish my thesis at 2010 too. Without relaxed, enthusiastic feelings, and love that I could feel from listening to JYJ’s music, I would never able to get relaxed, inspired, and finished my thesis. Thanks a lot JYJ and JYJ3. Now, I’m teaching at the language center of Airlangga University and I get much better career. I feel inspired and touched by JYJ’s struggle to be themselves, to be independent even within big pressure from a big company, yet they become philanthropists and able to donate to many people, I feel very proud.
Now, I don’t have any bias, since I fall in love with all JYJ members. I love them equally. Each is meant for another member. I believe that my love to JYJ is replaceable. Since after, I do not listen to any other band/ boy band/ girlband songs. I just have JYJ’s songs in my cell phone and laptop. Call me selfish or fanatic. indeed, JYJ drives me crazy for their voices, warmth, love, faces, bodies, souls, and everything about them. Now, my son is 3,5 years old. I start to introduce the pictures of JYJ to him, he he he. When I sing JYJ’s songs in Korean or Japanese language which sound very weird for him, he just comments “Ibu ki nyanyi opo to?” (trans: “Mom, what songs are you singing?”). Sometimes he sings some sounds of the lyrics with me. he he
As I’m getting busier, I cannot comment very often in this site. So sorry for that, but when I feel very urgent, then I do post a comment like now, he he. I just want to share my experiences with fellow citizens of JYJ3.
Now, it’s time for me to work again. See you some other time my friends.
typo: I believe that my love to JYJ is irreplaceable.
P.S.: With love, from Khristin Sulistyo in Surabaya, Indonesia
first time i knew them, was when they still on DBSK,
i’ll make my story here
first time i become their fans was on august 2009. at that time the drama boys over flower was very famous and i like all the boys there
and i happened to curios abt hyunjoong coz, i heard he had boyband which is SS501,
i search on ytb their video, but honestly their videos not attracted for me, (sorry for the fans)
coz i was not into korean boyband at all, in my mind set, all bb korean were freaking good looking but without any talent
just dance wthout hv any synchronicity wth the music bla bla bla bla
but my mind stream totally change after i know them. accidentally i saw their japanese interview abt their upcoming album five in the black. at that time junsu was the one who interviewed and the others could’n stop to tease him, my…. poor baby
then i started to find their videos, i was looking for their performances and wow i found “love in the ice” on their 2nd concert tour
OMG!!! i couldnt stop to repeat tht song for the whole…………….. week, that song is just amazing!!!
their harmonizing, their voices totally catch me.
and i search anthr performncs then MIROTIC!!!! this’s the best!!! their bodies, dance, apperances all,,,,,, perfect and i totally in love wth them
i started to watched their variety shows, their talk shows, and i forget to mention that i fall in love with JYJ
yoosu couple the dorky couple every variety shows that i watched, they always teasing each others
soulmate couple, oh…. they’r mean to each other
jaesu couple (jj and su) their like mom and son, huhuhu. su who cant live wthout jj, his mom
and my ultimate bias is…………..junsu!!!
the dolphin !!!!
his powerful voice, his charisma, his cuteness, i doooo love him
then bang!!! i heard abt the split, it made me sad
it ruined my day, when i heard the news. i just cant believe it,T.T
when they cried i cried as well
when they smile they totally make my day
i was so scared abt their future, their carrier
coz i know their previous agency is not powerless agency, thy’r big company
but they proof their existence!!!
they make their debut with kanye!!! and this was their beginning
their effort to proof they are can stand up, their encourages to never give up, their faith toward each others and towards fans
make me cant move on to others group
they teach me what brotherhood is, teach to always trying and moving forward, teach me to always humble, always give the best and best thing i learn from them is NEVER GIVE UP
heheheh that’s my “short” story
sorry for my broken english
Hi! I’m an unni fan from So. CA. I’ve been a Kdrama-head for 10 yrs. & used to enjoy the OSTs, til getting seriously hooked on TVXQ in 2009. OmOMo!! Their voices and performance skills just knocked my socks off & ripped out my heart!! ^^* It was absolutely the sweet timbre of Jaejoongie’s amazing voice in My Destiny & Forgotten Season that changed my life forever + all of their voices together in harmony!! Collected ALL of their recordings; Korean, Japanese, audios, videos & continuing onward with all things JYJ!!! Their intense hard-work ethic, talent, consideration of their fans, humbleness, generosity & business savvy have totally won my respect & admiration!! Not to mention their awesome great looks & style as well!!! I LOVE how they are “stickin’ it to the MAN,” & not putting up with SM’s BS… What strength, bravery& guts they embody in that still oppresive entertainment society happening today in SK. I read JYJ3 daily & have found that it’s better than any drama around~~* cuz it’s REAL life!!! GO JYJ Forever!!!
Me: A month-old JYJ fan from Malaysia
- grew up watching kdrama since the days of autumn in my heart
- Never a kpop fan or fan of any celeb
awhile ago…
- due to some issues, mom attempted suicide.. saved.. shes okay now..
- issues with mom always make me really down… so 1 day… my boyfriend bought me Rooftop Prince dvd to cheer me up
- Watched it. Liked it. Never seen this Yoochun guy think his acting is quite good. Search up for his other movies.
- Found SKKS. Watched it. Liked it.Watched the Director’s cut on Yoochun’s commentary.
- Turning point. Got hooked to Yoochun.
- Started searching more about him.
- Found JYJ
- Started to watch JYJ videos on youtube. The interviews.. their conversations.. fell in love with all of them.
- Started listening to their music and here I am reading about their fans…
Finally now, I too became a fan of JYJ.
Thanks to those who posted their long account, it gave me the courage to post my novel @.@ Feel free to stop reading at any point. >.<
End of 2010 – I had about a year off after finishing my studies & decided to catch up on all the fun I'd missed in the last few years of school. Especially movies & books which I'd had no time for & which I have always loved. I started looking up a Korean movie I'd read about on youtube, I didn't find that but found others. Which led me soon to A Millionaire's Love Story and that's right, Insa : ) I really had no interest in music before this. I listened to music maybe once in 3 months for an hour or two when I got a sudden urge, all on youtube coz I had no music collection of my own. Or I'd hear a catchy song in my friend's car which I'd listen to 20 times when I got home, again on youtube, then never listen to ever again. Beyond that, music was totally superfluous to my life. Books were all I needed. So at the time, all I knew was that Insa was heart-wrenching and made me feel like no other song had before. But it didn't occur to me at all to go look up the artist or anything. It didn't occur to me that it was the voice with the power to make my heart hurt.
I looked for more movies to watch. In one movie site, I saw a tiny thumbnail of Heaven's Postman in a long list of films and I thought "Whoa, that guy is gorgeous! I must watch this movie" but I never did. I added it to a list of To-Watch-movies and would randomly tell myself I should watch it for the guy but since a hot guy has never been enough to tempt me to watch things, I didn't ever followed through and honestly, I didn't really care.
It was a natural progression from movies to dramas. I discovered I loved them and some of the OSTs were lovely. One of them from Shining Inheritance actually interested me enough to look it up on youtube and when the vid was over, youtube recommended Mirotic. I loved it. It was catchy, the choreography was great and I saw the face that had fascinated me again and thought 'How is it possible someone is THIS gorgeous?" I randomly clicked on another DBSK song from Related Videos and didnt like it (Purple Line loll). Not being a music person, I was infinitely unforgiving ^^ My brief foray into DBSK music ended on the 2nd try. But Mirotic had interested me enough to try another kpop bands and I found I liked some of Shinee's and 1 or 2 Suju songs (yes, yes, I know!! Remember this was the uneducated musically-unrefined me! lol It just so happened that the 1st ones I clicked on were among their best)
The next time I looked at my list of movies, I neatly wrote down next to Heaven's Postman 'The Mirotic guy' in parentheses. roflmaoooooo.
After that I listened to those few songs of SuJu, Shinee and Mirotic every now and then, in vague fashion. Again, I have to thank youtube suggestions for what happened next. One day after Mirotic ended, it recommended some DBSK interview clip. I watched it and thot how is he so adorable?? (Yes, eyes still on Jaejoong at this point ^^) I thought I should try their music again. Clicked on Doushite. The opening bars with JJ singing in Japanese and I fell hook, line and sinker, on the spot and through a pixelated screen. In love with that face, that voice, that voice that gave me goosebumps. And everyone else was so good in the song too. I thought 'My god, these guys are fantastic. My God, I've never heard anything like his voice before.' When I found out Jae sang Insa (weeks later btw..lolll) I thought 'No wonder.' This was now mid-2011.
My present love for music was born. I started looking up YT for more JJ/DBSK clips and let's face it, to know them is to love them, yeah? ^^ Who can resist the amazing people they are?
It was a while before I even realized they had split as I wasn't in the habit then of reading YT comments beside the top-rated ones. Or why. I remained only vaguely aware of people saying lawsuit' 'when will they return' 'AKTF' etc., I assumed it was a lawsuit brought against DBSK as a group over copy-righted music (as an Ifan, I didn't get that other things could be so horribly wrong in an Ent industry) One day though, a comment with the entire explanation caught my eye and I was horrified and devastated to realise what had happened. I read up what I could about the split on the net but for me at least, there was only one choice to make. JYJ. The fact that my top 3 bias were in the same group was a relief. The fact that Jae (and Yoosu) had done the RIGHT thing which I would not have to defend to myself was a greater relief, even a blessing. Some of my research led me to JYJ3 and twtr and the more I found out about their struggles, the more it confirmed that there is NO WHERE else I'd rather be than by their side. And I'm not leaving. Every day JYJ just make me prouder of my choice and every day they reaffirm my faith in who they are
I’m a fan of BoA and after I saw her in DBSK/TVXQ Tri-Angle mv in 2004 I became fan of TVXQ. I have always love to hear Junsu sing and After JYJ spilt from TVXQ I afraid I wouldn’t get see them again, and it made me want to see them and more. So, after they came back as JYJ just I decide to follow them. And I’m happy that I did it. Because I feel like I get see more of their personalities and different side they that I didn’t or couldn’t really see before like they abled to do solo actives and do things that they love to do. JYJ is only group that I can honestly say that I love all members equally.
Forever a fan even when I’m old and gray
ehm – how i can be JYJ fan? okey this is the beginning : I like One Piece and the songs of One Piece, ” we are” and “share the world”. But at that time, I didn’t know who sing it because I didn’t care at all. In my mind, all singers were same and. I thought “Why I Had to Waste My time to get Know about someone that I don’t know if i can meet them”.
Suddenly in 6th semester, my friend asked me if I like One Piece. Of course, I said big yes. She began telling me about TVXQ but I still didn’t care. Seem she did not give up yet so in 7th semester, she gave me TVXQ’s video via Facebook. See how she tried to persuade me, I gave it try.
Just see that one video MKMF 2008, made me more curious. I tried to find their MV to hear more of their song. Little by little I like them (5). That time, I though “wow, they are so awesome”. That is the first time, I want to know about someone and become a fan. So become the Cassiopeia is my first fandom. I never like singer, idol, actress or actor before. TVXQ is the first.
Little by Little, I learn to like all of them (5). But the one I like the most is Kim Jaejoong. So when their group separated I was so sad because Jae looked so fragile. What fan like me can do is just supporting them especially Jaejoong. Because my bias is Jae, my support mostly go to JYJ.
When Junsu came to Indonesia for concert, I went with my friend. He sang perfectly and dance so energetic. Just 2 days ago (3 nov 2012), I and my friend also presented in Jaejoong FM in Indonesia. See him up close, hi 5 and how humble and love his fun. (just need to wait for Yoochun or he can come with Junsu and Jaejoong for concert too – It’ll be perfect) my like to JYJ grow and grow so we decide if JYJ come to Indonesia, we must get the festival tickets so we can see and hear up close. (note: You guys will love the Mussic Essay: Their room because there are Jaejoong, Junsu and Yoochun stickers with their own cute poses)
@MakanKenyang : you must be lucked enough to be able to attend jaejoong’s FM in MEIS Ancol..huffttt, I’m envy:(
So should i describe the 1st time that i’ve become acquainted with JYJ or the times that i ALMOST got to know them??? To be honest, around 2009 i must have seen Mirotic in youtube as some of my recommendations- ah i recall it as a dream… I really liked it but i didn’t give much care to it.
Afterwards, i was spending my last summer in the very productive way of watching dramas, trying to hook my cousins up with them. So, i picked up “Protect the Boss” and ahhhhhhhhhh, i could not believe that there existed such a, su-such a miracle. Everytime he was walking, breathing and oh my God smiling, Jaejoong was perfect in each of them (and acting i must say, and singing most of them).
And following the usual route that fangirls use, i found out about them! I was remembering the name DBSK (oh i was in such a confusion about why they are called both DBSK and TVXQ-and why there was a TV in their names in the first place) and here we go again with Mirotic! Well i was super uber biased, so i was telling “why are korean girls so lucky?”, “It would be so nice to have another 4 classmates and fangirl about them!” and “oh, but all 5 would like him (JJ) “, “he is perfect at singing”,”he is perfect” and “hmm, maybe this guy too-Yoochun”, and “oh, he’s handsome as well-Changmin” and “em, he is good at singing at least- poor Junsu.!!! Of course i loved their voices (independently and all together) and i tried to learn more about them. So i found out that they disbanded (T_T) and about the whole lawsuit thing and the 3 of them forming JYJ, but halt!!! That was all. I don’t know why i didn’t research it more. And i didn’t really continue listening to the DBSK song, since that time i was-and am- more into chamber pop, and also because my summer was over.
I stumbled upon the JYJ name in many articles and videos (i remember i had watched a little bit of the video of fanmeeting in LA), but why didn’t i put my mind to search for them, i don’t know (probably because i was watching JJ and that sometimes prevents me from thinking and because “they were looking really uncomfortable and bored”,i thought back then, but i later found out how tiring that period was- i’m so cruel, i’m sorry!).
A funny fact is that i was seriously furious at Yoochun, because of his popularity. There was a poll in the net for the most loved actor of 2011 and i was diligently voting for Park Shi Hoo (from The Princess’ Man ^_^) and i was mad seeing that 75% of Yoochun’s. I was like “how can he be that popular?”,”Have all these seen the Princess’ Man?” “is Rooftop Prince THAT good?”, “Is he that good? (yes he was!!!!) “Oh, he’s an idol, that’s why”– i swear i didn’t remember him!!Whoever had labeled him as an idol grrrrrr! Ha,i was that mad at him and that 75% and as a result i had pretty much forgotten about Park Shi Hoo and even considered voting for the 2nd one (but come on, who can beat 75%?? hehe GO GO Cassies!!!)
So after that, someone might have thought that i actually came to know them and like them through Jaejoong or Yoochun-but no! It was that cute duckbutt, that bullied dolphin (haha ok it was Junsu) that actually made me interested to listen to them. He was CONSTANTLY-and by that i mean all the seconds of my time in the internet- appearing in front of me with all his solo activities that i looked at him too, I found out he was too in JYJ and I searched for them, but no no no not their songs, but for the lawsuit (seriously there are no excuses for my case)
Then, I was watching Eat your Kimchi-I was really new to it, about a week- and one of the videos was a review of “Intoxication”.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
I would rather not place my thoughts at that, because I’ve written already too much, don’t you think, and I’ll continue by saying that every song, every video, every photo, every series, everything from JYJ (well ok, 70%->I haven’t actually finished Protect the Boss since 2011 and haven’t still laid my hands on the DVD from Junsu’s Elisabeth *still need some coins*) have been recorded by me and will not be forgotten because now I love them from my heart! If I can reason the why I love them and their music, despite the fact that I get so pissed that I can’t understand what they say and can’t still find the time to learn, is that I actually get something from them, and that something is to me so precious, because I think that without that I’d be running out of myself. And it is the same for them, I think. And for all of you,of course.
I would like to stop being tortured and decide who is my bias already, but since I’m rather new I get to adore all three of them, with their different characters and the unique way they communicate with each other and the fans of course!
JYJ fighting!!!So much love from Greece
I guess I have an on and off relationship with dbsk/jyj… lol
So….when I was a mere little primary school student, one of my cousin asked me whether the picture of the guy she sent me is cute or not…I looked at the picture thoroughly and said that the guy looked handsome but is kind of old…then I asked her who he is and she said “ahh….him….he’s my boyfriend” (although actually that was a closeup picture of jae with the white towel xD)
As a pure and innocent primary school kid, I believed her. I kept the picture of her so called boyfriend deep inside my phone’s memory card…
A few years later one of my Korean friend introduced me to kpop. At that time, the only group I liked was ft island while she was a hardcore fan of SHINee and SM town…every single day of every single week she would tell me the latest news of SHINee and SM town…one day she said that she heard a rumor from a fanclub that dbsk is soon going to break up…She said something in between this line”how can the God of kpop disband so easily? Ah..if sm is letting go of dbsk then their only blue chip would be suju and snsd..then what will my oppas do? They’re not even that famous yet, and people don’t really like SHINee since they’re an R&B and rookie idol group…ah…Even FT Island who’s not from SM JYP or YG is becoming more successful than SHINee…if dbsk will really break up then…I guess they would concentrate more on suju and snsd and they’ll have less money for my oppas”
I asked her who on earth is dbsk and she told me look up google for the full info…
I went home and got stuck on my computer for the whole day, looking up for dbsk…and the first thing that came to my mind was “They’re humans…why are they calling themselves as Gods…? How can they be so full of themselves? What Rising Gods of the East…huh…don’t make me laugh…they take themselves as Gods and they can’t even sing (since my first perception of sm artists is that they don’t sing well). I scrolled down the page to see the member’s profile, and the first member they showed was jaejoong’s profile. I saw the picture and I was stunned to see my cousin’s boyfriend’s picture. By that time I was already a middle schooler and I thought of Hong Ki as my husband lol, and that’s when everything hit me, ahh…so this guy is actually a member of dbsk…that’s when my interest to continue reading the rest of the page grew. I read through his profile but something caught my eyes- his stage name, what kind of a person would call himself a hero? This group is seriously full of themselves. They regard their group as Gods and then one of his members regards himself as a hero, great. That’s when my image of dbsk got really bad.
A year later, another Korean friend of mine is a huge fan of Micky Yoochun. This girl is really all over him, since I was in the same class as her and the teacher rarely comes, she would lecture me about Yoo Chun and since my other Korean friend is in the other class, Yoo Chun was basically the only Korean artist she would tell me about
And yet…I wasn’t interested…
Then in early 2010, I had a group dance competition with those two friends and several other Korean guys, who were quiet interested in dbsk. Our dance was short by around a minute and the teacher forced us to increase the dance, and one of the guys said to use mirotic, since there are only two SHINee fans and one FT Island fan while there are five dbsk’s fans.
As we were practicing, the only song that actually grew on me was mirotic, while the others starts to feel more and more boring every single time we replayed the remixed song.
But yet…I was still in denial. I refused to like their song although mirotic and purple line are slowly infiltrating my mind, while my fondness for FT Island started to diminish.
My type of guys had started to change as well, instead of those cute flower boy types I was starting to like the mature type more.
I watched their mirotic mv, courtesy of my Chunsa friend, and I kept on thinking the guy tied to the rock or whatsoever looked really hot, and he looked really familiar to me…the guy that drowned himself looked really hot as well. They all looked hot, although the guy who danced with the green laser looked a bit jobless and weird…
That’s when I felt that I’ve betrayed my fandom…and once again went into another round of denial. And this time the denial is stronger than ever.
But…what can I say…loves brings me where I’m supposed to be right now…
I was so immersed by hyunbin’s acting in secret garden that I actually took the interest to watch some of his previous works.
I watched SKKS and was actually pretty stunned by Yoo Chun’s natural acting. I was even more stunned that the trio who broke up from DBSK can actually sing songs that well.
That’s when I thought that they’re actually pretty okay…and I was just being in denial simply because I was in a stage of fighting myself.
But I wasn’t hooked with them, yet.
I watched one of his movies with JaeJoong singing one of the ost. I was watching the movie but then I started to fall in love with the guy’s voice. The emotion that he used on that song can definitely be felt. If he could sing such a serene song in such a bittersweet way then, this guy is definitely a good singer. If he can drown me more than the movie then…the guy is really talented in singing.
I look through google and since Jae was the singer it wasn’t that hard to find. I was shocked to find out that the guy who was singing is actually Hero Jae Joong from DBSK I thought they don’t sing, I thought they were only a bunch of guys who sing songs with a lot of edits in it.
That’s when I fell in love with him…not with his face or looks, but with his voice and emotion, that song, soothes me like anything, until today, whenever I’m having a hard time, I would simply listen to that song and all my worries will go away as soon as that song is done.
That one single song that makes me loves him so much until today.
That one single song that makes me realizes that he was more than just a pretty face.
I started to look more and the more I dig the more I love him. That angelic voice that he used when he was singing farewell, that rocker like voice he used in maze, the sad powerful voice he used for crying.
I started to dig more for DBSK old songs, their ability to sing caught my eyes. The way they deliver a song is so powerful that a person watching them sing could cry. Not because of their faces when they sing but most probably because I could feel their emotions. The meanings of the songs were all normal, but they sang it with such thick emotions that they send it right away to your heart. But what really sealed the deal for me was him, Jae Joong himself. His passion for singing, his hardships, his down to earth characteristic and of course, his never ending love for his fans. That contended look on his face after every song, those little things of him that made me love him even more.
I knew about the break up since before the break up, and I knew that I have to choose. Naturally my first instinct was to go towards JYJ’s side since Jae Joong is in JYJ, but as I dig through DBSK’s old videos, I find that I like the personalities of the JYJ members the most in comparison to HoMin. And I feel that JYJ songs are easier on the ear, and that they’re more diverse in their songs. And I like the way that they’re now able to show more of their inner self, not the image the company is trying to build, but their real self. Since music is a part of art where your personality will be reflected, I guess JYJ had broke down another wall between fans and themselves. Although they can’t promote or anything, but you just get that sincerity that is really hard to see elsewhere, and you get that feeling that ‘ah I know this guy’, a friendlier feeling?
JYJ themselves just plays a great part of my life, out of all the fanfictions I could read, the only tags I want to read until today is mostly DBSK. Like JYJ and I somehow connects to each other really well. Things that are not possible to do with other group suddenly becomes so easy when JYJ or the old DBSK are the ones in it. Its really weird to me and its really hard for me to understand but…I don’t know, I feel like there’s this huge invisible magnet that pulls me to them.
I think Jae Joong is different than most of the singers that I’ve took interest in. If looks or performance or other external influences were to influence me in liking Jae Joong then I can say he’s just another idol that I love. But, in fact it’s the opposite. I hated their cockiness. Although I was really wrong to judge them as cocky simply because of their names, but yea, I’m being really truthful about my feelings here.
I love Yoo Chun, his acting skills, that….Yoo Chun type voice when he sings. A guy with a warm face and adorable Chun faces xD
Oh….I love the way Chun eats….Jae is def right…Chun has this special ability to make everything looks good when he eats something..he’s like a sunflower? I don’t know, when I think of him, the word sunflower will come to my mind.
While Jun Su….I just love how determined he is in his music.
He’s really projecting himself in the music industry, tarantallegra was a breakthrough for kpop for me. The combination of the musical, opera like style that he incorporate in that song is really….great.
Its quirky, but it’s quirky great
And of course I love my baby Su….especially when he’s being trolled by the others…lol…he’s just an angel.
I started to fall in love with him because of a song that he sang without a single glimpse of the singer’s face. I became a fan because of his attitude. And the more I know about him, the more I love him and the more I respect him.
As a teenage girl, it’s quite easy to fall in love with a guy who’s basically perfect, but as for myself, personally, it takes a lot to gain my respect. I’ve never respect a person I’ve never met as much as I respect him. So much respect, that I even made him my role model in some areas for my own life.
Stars who have as much success as JYJ will usually have some kind of star syndrome and whatsoever, but I don’t think JYJ have that star syndrome.
Jun Su proved me in Para Games.
Jae Joong proved me when he came for the FM in Jakarta last time.
Yoo Chun proved me when he almost immediately returns to shoot for the drama after his father passed away.
And at the end of the day I feel that DBSK is a name made for them. It’s a bit cocky at first, but once you see them perform live on a stage, then, the word ‘rising’ is an understatement. They’re not rising, but they are God like when they’re singing, since Gods are supposed to be perfect, and they sang each and every song perfectly. And Hero, that name isn’t that cocky either, he proved me that he have everything it takes to become a huge influence in my life, a hero, that helped me to remember my roots.
Oh wow, i have been here for so long reading each entries and debating whether i should join in the crowds. Its for fun, right? After
all, JYJ3 has been my home for so long …….
Let me re introduce myself.. .. I am one of those ahjuhma’s fans from SKKS. To be honest, i am not K-Pop fans, but K-drama fans. In fact i love all kind of dramas…as long as romance is there…, moving from english to hindi’s to filipino’s to spanish, to japanese and finally korean. I think my first k-drama was Stairways to Heaven. Of course there was that drama about lady’s chef, but heaven’s forbid!!! i was soooooooooooo not into anything seaguk, so i never even watch it. Next drama that captured my eyes was BOF that was played on cable. To make the story short, i was unluckily away for the last 2 final episode. Forcing my son to watch the ending was so frustrated. Can u imagine what kind of feed back that i got from someone who only knows Crossfaith, Alesana, North Music…?? Disaster!!! So much so that i called my niece to help me buy the VCD…… and she asked me to watch it at youtube…. and i was like???? That time i thought youtube was only for listening to music as i saw my girls always watched them.
That was the first drama that i watched on line. Heheheh.. are you people laughing behind my back?? Later i realised that the main reason my girls didnt tell me about k-drama on line was that they knew their time on the net will be replace by me
And I was lucky that one of my daughter’s friend was a k-drama fans and i learned about viki, my soju, etc. It was there that i watched SKKS and fall in love with Lee Sun Joon, the uptight conservative scholar who mesmerised me with his voice. Yes… his VOICE … and his EYES… that i love .. so much so that SKKS was the first sageuk i was willing to watch. SKKS taught me about drama’s recapped, download link and subtitles as viki was having an issue over the license. And from the comments i learned that Lee Sun Joon is an idol (i have to google the meaning of idol), and SKKS was his first k-drama.
What make me become JYJ fans? It was “Too Love” and “To You is Separation….. ” The songs lingers in my heart … and touched my souls… Of course at that time i couldnt differentiate Yoochun, Jaejung or Junsu’s voice …….. it wasnt until i watched them performed at KBS Award that i became JYJers. Even when my eyes were staring at Yoochun, i was drawn to Jaejung and Junsu as i realised that they were the voices of my favourite song. The rest were history. As i started to searched more on them, i learned about their history, their struggle, their lawsuits and all the BS that they are facing. Of course all the searched bring me to JYJ3, and all the up and down of being JYJers, the happy moments… the bitter moment… the laughter .. and the tears…
My families knew about my JYJ’s addiction. I make my husband sit with me watching SKKS and RTP. And he had to endure listening to me fangirling about them, or all the complained about their situation. He knew that my ipod is full of only JYJ’s song. He also knew that i never watched any of music show as there is no JYJ . He would also complained why i must rewatched SKKS, RTP on cable when i have the whole set in my hard-disk. He helped me ordered The Beginning as i didnt know how to order on-line. But what he DIDNT know is that I have all the cd/vcd of JYJ that i collected behind his back, that my kids helped me with purchasing and collected them for me. Hahahaha… I am sure there is a limit to my husband’s understanding… Anyway, he did know that my one and only wish is to see JYJ perform live. Maybe one day, when they decided to put Kuala Lumpur on their list… my dream will come true… and i already got a promised from my daughters that they will accompany me when the time come. So, lets hope that JYJ decided to perform here as soon as possible… at least while i can still walk … and not using walking stick or wheelchair…..
I guess we are not suppose to reply to entries but I really enjoyed reading your story. Such a cool mom! I hope u get to watch them perform live one day. =) “Yoochun – Keep the faith”
wow…You are such a sporting mom..before this I success to turn my mother to follow DBSK and be their fans but after the split she do not follow Kpop and Korean artist anymore..making worse with all debuted untalented group nowadays..
p/s:- dok KL dekat mane??
I have been a fan of tvxq since 2004 and of course that was when JYJ was part of TVXQ and I saw the latent they had and how much the love their fans and I was drawn in and was never able to escape not that I want to. JYJ has been my source of happiness for so long and I am extremely happy to have found them.
“I saw the latent they had and how much the love their fans”
I meant to say talent not latent sorry
I hated kpop bands of all things, I was always into kdrama’s nothing else. I despised kpop like you wouldn’t believe. My first initial thought was that they’re so autotuned and unoriginal. They were always trying to hard and it looked fake. And I especially hated them because I thought they were just pretty faced figures who couldn’t even sing. My friends were soo into kpop and it made me hate it even more, it only further proved my initial thoughts I had on kpop bands. Of course, my friends were persistent on converting me to a kpop fan and showed me hundreds of video. I was bored one day and decided to look up a music video they showed me just to get a good laugh. I couldn’t remember what band it was, maybe superjunior, snsd, ? I dont know. Then I clicked on a related video, it was a live performance by DBSK. My first thought was “First band i’ve seen thats ACTUALLY singing live..” of course, 10 seconds into the video, I realize how wonderfully amazing these guys sang. I was shocked, amazed. Really ?? THIS is a kpop band ? i was so used to auto tuned. Even when I checked live performance of randome bands, they weren’t really even live, they always had a backtrack or they were lip syncing or something. But they were singing 100% live and i couldn’t believe it. I looked up other live performances by them like bolero, why did i fall in love with you, love in the ice and I was mesmerized. How did I miss this band ? Where have they been all my life? I had to find out more about them. I did some research and soon enough I found out they disbanded and was heavily disappointed. yanoe, or so I thought. Something about JYJ kept me interested. I heard news stories about saesang fans, how they stood their ground against SM, how Sm has been blacklisting them from appearing on television. At that time, all i had was respect for JYJ. They were such inspirations. I also preferred JYJ’s music. I loved a good ballad, and even on their own their live singing was beyond amazing. To think that me, the girl who hated kpop bands more than anything, would be a full fledged JYJ fan. Well come to think of it, i still dont like kpop bands. Just JYJ. They’re different. Talented. Original. I love them for that.
I initially became a JYJ fan while following TVXQ’s activities. It broke my heart to see the beloved band separate, however I continued to follow both TVXQ and JYJ. After a while it was obvious that my heart leaned more towards JYJ than TVXQ. For me, JYJ’s american album contained new music that suited the R&B, electro style that I LOVE. I continued to voraciously search for any live youtube videos of their performances and bought all the albums I could lay my hands on. I applaud Yoochun and Jaejoong’s drama activities but I really want to praise Junsu’s Intoxication, Tarantallegra, and Uncommitted performances. Honestly I think I’ve watched every single world tour video that Xiah Junsu performed in. He really surprised me with his bold appearance but , man Xiah Junsu continues to surprise and amaze the audience with his amazing voice and powerful, charismatic dance moves. It makes me so happy to see such an eclectic group of members, but It think this is what makes JYJ so special. You have a group of such talented and attractive individuals who have proven to the world that they still remain the legends of Kpop and will continue to do so for years to come. I can’t wait to be able to actually attend one of their concerts and experience for myself the magic that they bring to the stage.
I can’t believe I have been able to read only half of this page after 1 and 1/2 hours. I will be bact to write my own story on saturday.
Well, for me, the process of falling for JYJ as a band has been a long one.
I became a fan of Yoochun first. I’m a huge K-drama fan, therefore when I read a lot of good reviews about SKKS, I decided to check it out, without knowing much about the actors or the plot.
I must say that I instantly fell for Lee Sun Joon. I loved the character SO much; I was really awed by how he was portrayed by the actor. So yeah, Lee Sun Joon’s the reason why I decided to check Yoochun out. Needless to say, I thought Yoochun was a ‘real’ actor, I didn’t know he was a rookie and that he was actually a singer doing his debut kdrama. I was even more awed by his talent when I learned all of that. I looked him up after finishing the drama, and saw that he was in a band that sang for One Piece’s soundtrack (I love One Piece and even had the songs in my music library… I must say that was I really surprised) and that he was now in JYJ.
I convinced my sister to give the kdrama a chance, she loved it too. However, I didn’t really check his bands further, cause I wasn’t really interested in Kpop at that time.
Then I remember watching Scent Of A Woman in 2011 with my mother when I was back home. I decided to watch the drama because of my love for Lee Dong Wook (as stated above, I’m a HUGE k-drama fan) and to see Kim Sun Ah in her new drama. I loved her in Kim Sam Soon. Anyways, I start watching the drama, and there’s this song that’s so awesome, it gets stuck in my head. When I look it up, I notice that it’s sung by Junsu from JYJ. Then, the same Junsu had a cameo in the drama, and sang the song for Kim Sun Ah…and omg that’s kinda when he stole my heart. I totally fell in love with his voice.
Anyway, then I got into Kpop in 2011 thanks to Big Bang… But I didn’t consider myself a Kpop fan cause all the non-Big Bang songs were imo kinda bland and overly repetitive (the other bands I had checked out were SJ and Shinee and Ring Ding Dong and Sorry Sorry gave me a really bad image of kpop – no offense to fans of those bands, I kinda learned to appreaciate this form of kpop now).
Well, then still in 2011, i think I accidentally stumbled upon a live version of In Heaven on youtube. I remembered Junsu and Yoochun were in JYJ and omg I was totally blown away by their vocal prowess for the KAJIMA part. And not just them, but also the third guy, whose name I learned was Jaejoong.
Then, one of the top comments on the video was how Jaejoong wrote the song because of how he had lost a friend. That hit me read hard, cause I’ve unfortunately been in a terribly similar situation… It gave me real respect for Jaejoong and I fell really in love with the song, because I understood and could feel his grief.
Anyway, then my mother came to visit me last November and we decided to have a Kdrama marathon. I made her watch SKKS cause I love the drama so much. It was only during my rewatch that I noticed that JYJ members had songs for the soundtrack lmao I totally fell for Junsu’s Too Love while my mother fell for Jaejoong’s For You It’s Separation. She seriously overplayed the song while she was living with me, and had me put it up on her phone lol And she overplayed it so much that I started to really love Jaejoong’s voice.
So yeah, since we were having a Kdrama marathon, and she loved Jaejoong’s voice so much, I suggested we both watch him act in PTB. And we did and we both really loved him. (She even called me once this year just because she saw a Jaejoong look-alike in a drama she was watching and she thought I’d like the drama because of that LMAO)
And yeah, that’s how I fell for the three as individuals, and since I liked them as individuals, I decided to get more in JYJ as a band. I bought In Heaven and omg I was really in heaven when I listened to the album… Totally changed my perception of Kpop. They ARE true artists with real voices. Damn, could they sing. I have so much respect for them as singers. And learning that they composed most of the songs really made me respect even more. I used to think that G-Dragon was the only songwriter/composer when I joined the Kpop fandom world.
Anyways…
Then, I watched Simon and Martina’s review of Ayyy Girl and learned about how JYJ rolled down their sexy windows. I had no idea they had made such a failtastic video or an English album… but I ended up loving both… And then I got into their Japanese songs… And W made me wanna cry my eyes out. But, I digress.
Anyway, it was announced this year that Yoochun was gonna be in a new drama (RTP)… Being a fan, I started to feel the anticipation but then , there started to be a lot of controversies just before Yoochun’s new drama…
And that totally pissed me off. You have no idea. But, the way they dealt with all of that made me respect them even more….
Of course, I learned about all the hardships they were going through because of saesengs… And I learned about everything they were going through as a band, because they had decided to leave that evil company, and that made my love and respect for them increase tenfold.
It made me crave for them to get the freedom and the justice they deserve, and the fact that they were not giving up made me so proud of them. Now, I seriously feel like a proud mother each time they get an award and I’m a few years younger than they three of them lol
But yeah, anyway, that’s how I became a fan of them.
My earlier inputs only stated my love of Jaejoong since 2007 and forgot to mention how much I also admire Junsu and Yoochun. Junsu is definitely most talented singer — he actually “saved” several live performance of DBSK if you go through all of the old TVXQ live concerts— he managed to pull back some out of tune performance by some members and lead the group to stay on track. (Jaejoong helped a bit as well:-). And many people recognize Yoochun for his great acting, but I would say, he is actually good in composing music. He had a good taste and knew exactly what works for him. Three of them together makes a perfect combination and I do hope them venture out of kpop genre to try some more new stuff like Jazz, Blues, or Bosa Nova, or alternative rocks. I wish they continue to reinvent themselves and bringing the Asia music scene to a new level.
I am not a Kpop fan till 2009…
I am a kdrama viewer and only fall in love with kdrama OST while watching it.. Due to cable TV, I chance upon Mirotic sometime in Dec 2008 with the Under my Skin/ Sky issue in Showbiz Arirang TV. I was not even interested in it. Did not like the song at all and wondering what was all the fuss about! I love Jerry Yan F4, Meteor Garden, Taiwan version and love Daomingshi character, and was looking forward to watch the kdrama version since Korean is remaking it. I have also watched the Japanese version.
Then in Jan 2009, I fell in love with SS501 Kim Hyun Joong, and became a Triple S while watching Boys over Flower. I even travel to Taiwan and Seoul to watch their Concerts! Sometime in March 2009, Kim Hyun Joong was talking about his best friend TOP & Jae Joong!
Bang! Meteor hit me! I google all about this guy Kim Jae Joong and came to fall in love with TVXQ!
I was all set to go to their Concert in China but alas, it was cancelled due to their lawsuit. I regretted for not knowing them earlier!
I was so upset about the breakup since I wish to listen to them live at least once!
My wish was granted in 2010, JYJ came to Singapore for their Beginning Worldwide Showcase! I brought my sister & daughter with me. (Me & my daughter, both of our bias is Jae Joong!) My daughter fall in love with JaeJoong in Balloon MV.
I am blessed to be able to travel up to Bangkok for JYJ Worldwide concert in April 2011 with my sister, and looking forward to their 2013 Worldwide concert!
Liking Jae Joong include liking his members Yuchun & Junsu. I like Yuchun in his Dramas and admire Junsu for his musical talent. And I love them all especially when the 3 are together!
Listening to their music has helps me to move on with my life…they are my inspiration.
I started like them was when I suddenly hear “Rising Sun” and ” ‘O’ Jung Ban Hap”, I felt that the songs were very nice and awesome beats, then I try to figured out who sing the song, When I first watched “Rising Sun” and ” ‘O’ Jung Ban Hap” MV, I can’t believe I saw a group of teens which were so good looking and dance very well. By the way, that was not the main point I love them. I love them because they were very unique and not like others kpop group just keep dancing, they can even sing ballad song very much. Their songs’ harmony is so great and make the songs to have soul, such as “Begin”, “Forever Love”, “Stand By U”, “Love in the Ice”, “Bolero” and many many mores. Besides that, they also had cute song also, such as “Balloons”. They always got many different and special idea to entertain us. They had activity very hard at Japan many years ago. That’s why they made the Kpop so well known. As a cassiopeia, we watched how they grown up, from the adorable teens become the adults, although in between there were many things happened but it didn’t affected our loyalty to them at all!! We kept supporting both groups. Now, all of them are enjoying their works and their life, as a cassiopeia, we should support them no matter what they do. All of you guys are talented, please always be happy and take care of your health. Love you guys forever!!!
We PROUD to you guys. Please continue entertain us with more and more projects.
Once a cassiopeia, forever a cassiopeia!
JYJ Fighting^^ We promise we won’t leave and always support you all!!
Let us continue our love together for more and more 9 years!

JYJ just I came them to know like group the 2011, first I saw to Yoochun by dorama of Miss Ripley in who she acted but nonwise that sang, soon when finds out me that they arrived from tour at my country I put myself to look for by Internet its songs and first that I saw it was Ayy Girl and I please me, then looks for but videos and I saw its concerts in Japan, Korea, its tours by Europe, its unfolding in the scene is incredible, as they transmit its love to his fans. The one that I am called but the attention was Jaejoong, its voice is very beautiful and I like as she dances, and Junsu and Micky are brilliant. Jaejoong now has the responsibility to guide the group, but the three have demonstrated to us in different forms that the perseverancia obtains its fruits, recently we have observed their personal triumphs. Also, they worry about their followers, that we have felt it in completes meeting that had Jaejoong with his fans of Indonesia, was very ill, but even so she attended and atendio, that better desmostracion of love to his fans. Let us continue supporting them, they deserve it.
JYJ follow ahead
I did share some thoughts on this during the Open Discussion Post in September, but here I am to share my story again…
Have you ever had this feeling when you met someone even briefly and you feel an instant connection?
That’s how I feel towards Micky Yoochun….It was love at first sight!!!
It started in 2008. Six of us just completed our education & what do fresh young graduates who think they can conquer the world want to do?? To my parents’ horror , we formed a pop rock band and played in my parents’ basement. We called ourselves “The Uncool”. One of us, a Japanese who was just into TVXQ, one day played us the Purple line MV…..
The song started with a close up of Micky rapping the words, “Now I see this way, it looks like purple line, gotta introduce myself…” He got himself introduced to me alright!!! I fall for himhead over heels! Then, some Japanese lines by Jae and voila.. the infamous line” Really wanna touch myself” by Micky (Ofc we were later told that those words are supposed to be “really wanna be in touch with myself”)…We were so tickled..it was hilarious not only coz of the language failure, but also watching hot Micky in the hot red sports car singing those words with a serious face… Ofc I thought Micky’s so cool singing those words with a straight face…haha.. (soon I discovered (rapper aside) that Micky’s the most appropriate to sing that line..being the naughty troll he is…} Even now, I still have a soft spot for that song because of YC and always lol whenever I think of it!
On that hilarious note and a few replays, my curiosity for DBSK/TVXQ and shipping for Micky PYC began… I steeped myself with DBSK/TVXQ music, variety programs, concerts, dramas, etc., hoping some of their coolness and genius would seep into me..(very appropriate ofc since we’re the Uncool..haha.. and to mum’s dismay, who’s been schooling me with classical music!!!). My basement, turned into DBSK/TVXQ capital (to the chagrin of mum and some uncool friends!) and not one day went by that I didn’t listen to their songs…..( our band got disbanded > 6 mths as everybody ended up being a conformist and started having a career, boyfriend/girlfriend relationships etc …) Through watching their variety programs, interviews, Banjun dramas, Rainbow romance, vacation, etc, I got to know them as individuals, and that solidified my love for this unique group. They made me cry, laugh and be inspired … they’re the brothers and sisters that I never have (I’m an only child, half Asian with only one cousin!). I cried buckets (since I’m a sucker for hardworking passionate people with “rags to riches” kind of story) when Yuchun cried about his hard life in the US and missing his brother and family, also when I read about Jae’s hard life and struggles in achieving his dream(I won’t delve into HoMin here) and Junsu’s love for his mum by fulfilling her dream through him. Simply concluded, Junsu as the mood maker, especially with YC and famous for his trademark eun kyang kyang laugh, Jae the most humble and best cook, Chun the genius troll and they’re all super talented… I was also joyous and triumphant when they won anything…Basically, I find their brotherhood very touching coz they genuinely cared, loved and very supportive of each other. Musically, I learned the different qualities of their voices, tones, timbre, vocal beauty and range. But their musical interpretations and expressions are very much in sync and definitely as a group, they are unique and their music rocked my socks!!~ Their compositions and their voices each have their unique quality that when combined made for beautiful and interesting harmony. But even during DBSK/TVXQ days I was always impressed by Junsu’s and Jae’s voice control, weight and range.
When rumors of DBSK/TVXQ break up surfaced, I couldn’t believed it! I thought how could people who grew up together as one voice in music and been through thick and thin for 6/7yrs, broke up just like that??? When it became official, I was devastated and felt it was such a tragedy to the music industry! After reading the lawsuits, etc. and understood the injustices inflicted by SM and remembering how YC once even considered suicide, I was very proud of their courage to stand up for their rights, especially against a big established entertainment corporation. Knowing their personalities and backgrounds, I was sure they had exhausted all avenues before resorting to legal action. In fact, I was disappointed that the other two did not join in the lawsuit!
Being YC biased and because I strongly believe in their cause, I followed YC. Hence, JYJ became my default group and music. In support, I consciously follow their activities, spread their love through facebook and buy their music. When I first watched the Thanksgiving Live in Dome ” I was emotionally touched and moved beyond words!!! Their performance was simply beautiful, flawless and passionately emotional… I especially love their rendition of “Itsu Datte Kimi Ni” and “W” , purely on the musical arrangement, vocal performance and richness of JYJ’s vocal beauty and timbre!!! As I listened to the 3 of them together, I realized they have the perfect voices to complement each other and form a beautiful harmony. Their ballads, R&B, Rap,a Capella are hauntingly beautiful!! eg, love Junsu’s pure vocals in “Fallen leaves” ….. In fact JYJ’s musical quality reflects more of themselves now. Their compositions are compelling and they are their music…
Now, with the branching of their individual/group talents and activities (acting, musicals, CFs and being goodwill ambassadors to wonderful causes and charities), they are garnering a wider range of fans worldwide. I was so proud when as JYJ, they toured Asia, America, Europe and as the first Asian group to penetrate South America. Moreover ironically, the whole hooha of the lawsuits have made them more visible despite the blockings. So as the quotes “something always happened for a reason”, and “a blessing in disguise”, we see that they are growing stronger individually and together, as well as artists! Their music reflect them better, their compositions pure genius, compelling and soulful.. They are also making music that they love and own the music, as well as venture into businesses and activities that they believe in……Despite the lawsuits and the blockings, the success of their Japanese EP, the Beginning album, In Heaven, No Name song part 1, 3hree Voices, dramas, movies, musicals etc. are all admirable achievements and I am super proud of them and definitely chuffed to witness their growth. In short, my becoming a JYJ fan is a natural progression from beeing a MickyYC shipper , my love for their individual vocals and my believe in them as individuals and artists!
Before i not interest artist or singer of Korea. Until this year, JYJ this group member is introduced by my friend..My friend show me the mv and drama all about Yoochun, then i just know yoochun is member of JYJ …..From that day i start to search and collect the data and picture from JYJ…Futhermore, i start to listen the songs about JYJ and look the drama about JYJ …finally i become JYJ’s Fan…:) Really like their dance and song ,of course the drama…Support Forever~JYJ~~FIGHTING… =)
My story with JYJ will be kind of weird.I’ve never been into any k-pop boyband/girlband and to be honest I dislike their guyaru hair(guy with gyaru hair colors),and the maximum amount of plastic surgery they did!However,my best friend always told me about kpop gossips(without I even know whom she’s talking about) and one day she said something about a group that has lots of crazy fans(later I know it’s called sasaeng),and that one member of the group hit the fans.She told me that even she could hear the slap sound on the audio that the member did to the fans.I was like”oh really?” and not even pay any attention at all. I listened to her but not paying even 1 % attention to what she said.I was responding her story,but didn’t even think about who she was talking about.
So,when on May I went to Jakarta,we were on the way to shopping centre,my bestfren asked me this:”So,who is your fave JYJ member?”. I was like(in my mind):”Oh crap,I forgot to google about them!!Argh,if I said I dunno so she’d be mad since I didn’t pay attention to what she said back then..”.Then I said”Umm..I forget one by one member’s face,it’s been quite long since you told me..”. Then she handed me her IPAD,she searched there and said”Here you go,which one?(she meant the name)”. Aaakkh..I didn’t know what to do,so I just looked at the pics and..I didn’t find any of them that are attractive imo.But I gotta choose one,so I chose the”best”one.She said”Oh,you like Jae Joong.Yeah,he’s handsome”.
Me(in my mind):”So,the name is Jae Joong.Yeah,whatever.Thanks God,She didn’t notice me that I actually dunno what she’s talking about..”. Then on the way she talked about JJ and JYJ(his group),I responded to her story,not to JJ nor the group.
So last month I bought dvdes of Korean Drama,the title were”Protect the boss”,”Time slip Dr.Jin”,and “Lie To me”. My blogger fren reccomended protect the boss and lie to me. I bought time slip dr.jin because I like the actor,Song Seung Heun. I watched time slip dr.jin 1st,but left it since it’s boring.So I watched protect the boss one,then I found JJ was there,eyecatching. I was so mesmerized by his voice when he sang on karaoke:http://vimeo.com/29916283.
So I looked at its the drama actors list,it’s named under Kim Jae Joong. And then I looked at time slip dr.jin’s actors list,it’s also Jae Joong there! I swear I didn’t notice him there since he wore old Korean kingdom clothes before. Since then I started searched about JJ,and called my bestfren.
I said”Eh,do you know Jae Joong?He’s handsome”. HAHAA..you bet what her reaction was” WHERE HAVE YOU BEEEEENNNNN???all this time I always tell you about JYJ.Weren’t you the one who said that he’s your fave member of JYJ back then in jakarta when we met?arrghhhh..can’t believe it!How could you do that?” >___<
I swear I felt like a stupid person and felt so damn guilty for"ignoring"her story about JJ and JYJ before
So,I subscribed to their Youtube chanel CJESJYJ,I watched their Europe concert and found this beautiful song,later I knew the title was"you're so beautiful".So I searched for its MP3,and found that song's lyric.On the top of the lyric,it's said"You're so beautiful-Xiah Junsu(OST scent of a women)". I was like… Scent of a women???And looked at one of 3 dramas dvdes that I bought 2 weeks ago but haven't watched any of them yet..one of the dvd's title is"Scent Of a Women"!!
Lol…I bought it because I like the actor(Lee Dong Wook),no idea if Junsu sung the OST! 
..
See..what a coincidence and weird story about the group and I..
Now I like them for their tallent(searched for their dbsk songs too),and mostly for their bravery to against big boss in korea music indsutry.I hate bullying action!!! JYJ,Fighting!!^^v
well actually, i have become a fan of three of them since TVXQ era and my ultimate-super-top-bias is Junsu because of his cute smile in “Balloons” MV (they were really cute there >w<) and then i dug up all-literally-all information about them and fell deeper. And then those lawsuit thing happened and broke my heart, really, i cried when the news was posted. i was worried about the 3 of them since we all know how powerful SM is. But fortunately, they strived through! They keep smiling, keep singing, keep dancing fo us
Any other people might have given up, but our JYJ didn't! and that's what i admire from them except from their talent. i really admire their sincereness, their passion for music, and their hardworking-self. They showed me to don't ever give up!
So to conclude my ramblings XD, i became their fans because of "Balloons" MV and then all their hardworks tying me to them until now
when i listened TVXQ, i was 16. i dont think i’ll be fan of them.. Because they are fantastic!
i’m really happy now, Because i’m fan of JYJ <3
i love Yoochun's smile, Junsu's voice, Jaejoong's thoughtful, etc!
i can say a lot of them's speciality.
Because i love all aspect of them!
anyway, i fallen in love JYJ .
And then, everything is beautiful with JYJ !
ah, my life changed because of them XD i wanna say them "thank you". <3
8 years ago I had the chance to find by accidentally DBSK,in that time I was just a kid ( 11 years) and I didn’t understand anything of what they said even that I started to love their music.Thank to them I discovered a new world where I’m happy-South Korea.I grew up under the wing of their music, without them my life would be simple and without dreams.My personality,my soul…my perspective of life it was created by them.They became my inspiration in life,I’m very grateful to have found them <3.
When they broke up I was so dissapointed that I thought a part of me died and I didn't know what should I do.After that,I saw them how they get out of the darkness that sank and they sing again for us.They had endure so much but they never complained, are strong and worthy of respect.That's why I found the courage and inspiration to fight for my dreams.
Last year I've been to their concert in Berlin and when I saw them in front of my face I was fascinated by their warm personality.I never meet someone with such a special aura like they had,everytime when I remember about that time I'm fortunately burn and keep working hard for my dream.Nobody have such a big influnce on me like they do.I hope they would continue to pursue their dream and to be happy.If they are happy we are also.JYJ,thank you deeply for brithen my life,I hope from all of my heart that,someday,to have the change to thanks to you for this.
I worked so hard on this video so please take a look at it..
I really hope you like it :]
I became a fan of JYJ when I first discovered kpop. As a korean American, I was heavily influenced by the american culture, but k-dramas always helped me keep in touch with my korean soul. I started listening to kpop and eventually found JYJ. I didn’t immediately fall in love with the group, but they grew on me. I fell hard after watching Yoochun in ‘Rooftop Prince.’ His amazing acting, Junsu’s amazing song in the OST and even Jaejoong, in his role in the drama ‘Dr. Jin’ was amazing. This group is truly talented, and their songs touch me deeply, especially ‘Boy’s letter.’ I hope this group will forever stay together.
Micky Yoochun , Xia Junsu, and Hero Jaejoong, are not only a successful kpop group, but they are the definition of what kpop truly is. Their songs represent so many aspects of life, and that is why I love them.
The first time i got to know dbsk was since their debut days…love them until today, let it be jyj or homin, i still support them. Hug song still in my memory and tbh, i still miss them as 5..i love every songs in their album either it is japanese or korea album..even for their concert i will not missed to watch it though im unable to go to their concert. when the news abt the break up, im still don’t believe it, and dont even want to believe it..then, i realise i cant be delusional..just accept the truth even it breaking my heart.. at that time, for a few months I didn’t watch any Korean music and variety shows..bcoz I will miss them and feel so sad watch other group idol having fun and doing promotion. But then, my friends ask me to watch skk scandal, I say ok I will watch it..and that was the first time I saw yoochun acting and mayb not as excellent actors but still good for a rookie..later, I realise that I need to move forward since watching jyj and homin also doing their best not to disappoint us (cassie). Then, I start watching Korean stuff back, and to me watching jyj and homin grow up from hug days till today make me smile a lot..y? bcoz I also grow up by watching them..(^_^)..and for that if I have an opportunity to meet them in person, I really want to say KANGSAHAMNIDA…thank you so much for fill up my youth days, I meet my friends bcoz of them and I enjoy my youth bcoz of them too, thank you for being a part of it..and I will always be CASSIOPEIA..
Hi everybody
I want to tell how my story started with JYJ. I had panic attack for 4 years. I lost my faith, my feelings, my dreams. I was afraid of lonelines. I was not breathing, I couldn’t feel. My hands was starting to shake. I was like an idiot.Sometimes my friends asked some thing for three times so I could understand. This ilness was affecting my all life. I was about to get mad or try to do crazy things. But then I heard their stories and I listened to their voices. I felt their sincerity. Even though I didn’t know their language, I felt that I could understand their songs. I first met them with W. And now whenever when I have an attack, I listen it over and over and I tell myself that I can help myself and I can belive myself. Thanks JYJ with all my heart……………Now I am not just a fan, now my life and my happiness depends on you

I hesitated to write my story of how I became a fan of Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu because compared to the rest I’ve been a fan for less than a year. However, at this moment and time, I feel like I have known and loved them forever! It all started earlier in the year when I began to watch Rooftop Prince and fell in love with Yoochun. Not surprisingly, the first thing I did was to goggle him and found out that he is a member of JYJ along with two other former members of DBSK. Within a couple of months I had watched all the dramas the boys have been part of and even went to youtube to see videos of them when they were part of DBSK. Of course like the rest, I’m saddened/angry by the SM lawsuit and all that JYJ has endured. More than loving their music and work, I love them as human beings. They are three great men who inspire me. Just like them I want to fight the obstacles and hardships that are in my way. I have learned from them that with hard work, dedication and a strong friendship anything is possible. I am so happy to say that this fall I began my graduate work in Education and that I know that part of the reason why it became possible is because I have JYJ in my life.
I know I won’t win the prizes, but I just wanted to share with you. I have never been part of any fansite, until now…unitl JYJ. So, I am truly happy to be a JYJ Fan and just like the rest of you, I am here to love and support them.
JYJ Fighting! Yoochun Fighting!, Jaejoon Fighting!, Junsu Fighting!
i have known JYJ back in 2009, when i started listening to kpop music. and i knew them through various TVXQ videos etc but that didnt really make me a fan of them. i really become into JYJ until i listened to their music starting with their english album, and i really like their album in heaven. So i started watching their old videos again, i am amazed at their talent and how popular they are. their performances are so amazing and powerful, so different from other groups, the best harmony ever heard:) i think i have a really special place for JYJ because of the hard times they have been through, and still now not able to sing freely in their own country. i wanted to support them because they really deserve to be acknowledged for their hard work and it is just so unfair for them. Because of their songs especially W, i also started watching Jaejoong;s drama and Yoochun;s drama as well , they are such amazing actors. and of coz the amazing Junsu, he has such a good voice!! i believe one day, everything we will good for them again(this is unrelated but still i want to cheer out for them!)
fighting JYJ!! i will support yoochun’s drama, and i would really want to watch Jaejoong;s movie if i can!
How I became a JYJ fan.
Before I start relating my piece. I have a wall in front of my computer where at the center is a set of my family pictures and surrounding it are posters of my favorite “sons” – 6 guys and you can guess the three are Jaejoong, Chunsu and Yuchun ( the other three are Jun Matsumoto, Aiba Masaki and Yusuke Yamamoto). They are the ones I support ( meaning I buy their original CDs,DVDs, Calendars, photobooks, go watch worldwide concert, go as far as Chiba, Japan to Masaki’s parents restaurant to eat and deliver gifts for Masaki, deliver gift to Yusuke through Evergreen office). Its the only small way I can to show my great appreciation to their passion of entertaining people.
I started and still is a Jpop and Jdrama fan because at first I find Kdrama too long, boring while Kpop is a little bit harder to sing (not that I’m a good singer but rather its harder to pronounce unlike the Japanese language which I had a short language studies both in my former homeland and in Japan as part of my work then).
Finding Tohoshinki(the five) changed my taste in the Asian entertainment. I watched them in Youtube singing Japanese songs-Wasuranaide, Asu wa karukara and toki wo tomete, I was mesmerized saying to myself that they are really the “gods from the east”. I went to my favorite shop to buy their Mirotic album but I was told the group no longer exist for they disbanded and no more albums for them. So I resorted to internet shopping and got all their concert albums so I was jovial. I didn’t care that they disbanded coz I love their music and watching them together in DVD is enough. Then while surfing the net I learned that a part of the group called JYJ will have a concert in Vancouver. Really!!! I asked my daughter if she would like to accompany me to that concert. Well she said ok though I knew she loves Japanese Animae and Johnny’s entertainment’s Ryosuke Yamada and Toma Ikuta better. We got the expensive tickets- the nearest to the performers available. That night was a revelation. Junsu sang so very beautifully. Yoochun was so amazingly attractive( so very much applauded) while Jaejoong then to me looked like a lost meek handsome boy that you want to bring home to pamper with love. From then on I started searching more about them, buying more items about them, watching dramas, videos, defending them in blogs and becoming in a true sense a fan who cares, who’s proud to be one and who eagerly waits for more from them.
Yes I will say I will support them even when they have grey or white hair- perhaps in the future Jaejoong as a globally acknowledged director/producer, Junsu as a world class singer/ tv, theatrical and cinematic actor and YooChun as a benevolent owner of an international entertainment company much much bigger than SM entertainment. Love the three.
My love for JYJ started in the days of DBSK. It was 2007. I was up and around the house, doing random chores in the summer, when I suddenly heard the most AMAZING voices in the world. My sister was listening to some music while doing homework and I couldn’t help but listen with her. It was “Love in the Ice” (still my favorite to this day!) and I didn’t even know who in the world was singing, but their voices molded so effortlessly together and the emotion sewed into each line was breathtaking.
And from that day on, I was hooked. Of course most of my love for JYJ came from their DBSK days as I started to love them in the middle of their singing careers. They were my top three favorite members because I believed they had the most personality and the most beautiful voices.
Once the lawsuit rolled by, I was shocked, to say the least. I took a year off to process the breakup. I got reintroduced to JYJ early in 2011, when I stumbled upon some of their new “In Heaven” songs. I was thoroughly pulled back into the fandom with their melodious voices and charming smiles, and I really don’t regret it one single bit. (The only thing I regret was not accepting them from the start! They are simply amazing!)
Since that day in 2011 (and that day in 2007), they’ve made living life day-by-day with their amazing personalities and talents easier and a lot more enjoyable for me. Loving them was/is something I will never regret! (:
How I become JYJ fan?
I started know them from DBSK mirotic song but not really into it and the lawsuit, I just don’t understand why people like JYJ. But until one day I hear ‘In Heaven’ song, where I just fall in love with their voice and the song. And now I started to love everything about them, from their singing, composing, acting and many more. I just hope they win the lawsuit so me and all the JYJ fans can watch them in TV more and love them forever.
To JYJ,
Thank you for filling my everyday life with your great song, amazing drama and beautiful smile
Ive been a JYJ fan since i watch the movie sunkyunkyan..i fell in love with the movie the same as i fell inlove with chunie..It was a great movie where you can get alot of values that a person should possess..Hope that theres part II of it..Thanks and God bless us all the JYJ fan..Figthing!!!
I got to know JYJ from TVXQ.. I got to know TVXQ when i was 13 in 2005.. As usual, i was at my grandmother’s house on a saturday afternoon.. While i was switching channels to look for some interesting shows, i heard ‘I believe’ by TVXQ, the chinese version. I was attracted to their voices even though their pronunciation wasn’t perfect.
That night when i got home, i searched for that particular songs on youtube and found more songs sang by them.. I fell in love with them.. I searched high and low for their album.. When i have a copy of it, i was so happy and tried singing along with nonsensical pronunciation while listening to their songs..
Ever since then, my cravings for them never stops
Even though TVXQ are separated now, i’ll still support all of them! I’m grateful for their continuous hardwork for the fans as well as their love ones.. I’ll always keep the faith!
Thanks jyj3.net for working so hard in giving all the info of their activities and news
Cheers! <3
Hey, I’m a fan of JYJ from USA.When I first heard of TVXQ it was by mistake. One boring summer afternoon, I was watching random youtube videos. Back then I was ignorant to K-Pop, so it surprised me when the most viewed video for the day was Shinee”s Lucifer. After watching that video I clicked on a random one that looked interesting. This happened to be Mirotic, and I fell in love with the song right away. I liked it so much that I liked it so much that I would play it where ever I went. Even my older brother thought that it was catchy(he usually likes rap songs).
. Junsu’s solo album was amazing(wish I could get it). I loved the song Uncommitted.And I keep anticipating Yoochun’s new drama, I can’t wait until it has subtitles.I can’t wait until their next album. They have never disappointed me.
When I found out that TVXQ split up I was surprised. I was looking forward to hearing new songs from them(I thought that they weren’t singing anymore). So when I heard JYJ was coming out with a new song I was thrilled, and it instantly became my favorite. I don’t listen to TVXQ any more, not because I think their horrible singers(they are still good), it just seems like they were lacking something when I listened to Keep Your Head Down. With JYJ’s music I feel the emotions they convey in their songs. When it comes to music I can be really picky thanks to seven years of playing saxophone. I look for something that is musically and lyrically amazing. To me out of all the K-Pop musicians JYJ are one of the only ones with a sound that can be picked out of a crowd.
Another reason why I had to become a JYJ fan is their solo careers. I loved all of the drama’s Jaejoong and Yoochun were in. I can’t wait to see Code Jackal, which comes out on my birthday
Oh and Jaejoong has been my bias since that Mirotic video. I also like how his voice is calm and resonate. I could listen to him all day.
I fell in love with Yoochun through his dramas. He is an amazing actor. It seems like he can be any character that is thrown his way. I also like his unique voice.
When it comes to Junsu I fell in love with his voice. It is so pretty. I am amazed at how easy he makes it look when he hits those high notes.
I will support JYJ forever, and thanks for letting me share this jyj3.net.
How did I become a fan? Hmm let me think
It was all because of ‘Protect the boss’. I saw Jaejoong and just thought: ” Woah, what an amazing actor” I just was fascinated of him and so I have done some research about him. I found out that he is a singer in JYJ. I have listened to some songs of them and fall in love in their music <3 *-* So easy. JYY can convince everybody. Impressing band! 
Sorry for my bad english
I mean JYJ
Sorry typing error 
only drop by to say, I am a new fan because of Yuchun and love their brotherhood relations between JYJ.
After googled around, I wish next year (also the years after next…) the dark clouds around them will be gone and become their brighter year which they can shine their talents again…
How I became a fan of JYJ??
It was 2010 Oct …. midnight …
I had copied some Korean TV programs files from my fri… but I hadn’t watched …
That night…, I had nothing special to do and found those files … and I started watching it …
It was “Cooking Show” from AADBSK…. It was the first time for me to watch Korean variety shows and I found them really amusing and funny …. I was very absorbed in the programs that when I finished all videos, it was already morning >_<
It was how I came to know JYJ (in fact, TVXQ) …. The way I came to know them is different from other groups…. That is, I knew them through variety shows rather than their music
But (maybe) because of that I felt so close to them (personally) compared to other groups.
Then, I started digging up their information, videos, music, etc…. and I've become a big fan of them. They all are very amazing talented, very hardworking, honest, humble and also … handsome ^_<
As I started to deeply fall in love with the group, I found out that the group had been broken apart…
…
…
Actually, I have a dream that is almost impossible to come true. But JYJ and their music has become my energy source and their efforts, their hardwork, their motto (Always Keep the Faith) always remind me to go to that dream whatever it takes. Moreover, their personalities, attitudes and friendship have also affected my daily life. They have changed my personality, too.
Because of them, my definition of 'Music' has become perfect, my love for 'Music' has become greater and 'Music' has been involved in my life as an essential part. They always make my days beautiful juz with their bright smiles and give me strength and courage to keep going on.
Although I have some other groups that I like, I’ve never become their fans. But JYJ is a different case. For me, they are more than juz singers, actors or celebrities. They are like my real brothers who always give guiding light on the road of life.
Thank you, Jaejoong Oppa!
Thank you, Yoochun Oppa!
Thank you, Junsu Oppa!
And, Thank you, JYJ3 admins, to give a chance to speak out like this ….
Originally an Anime/Manga fan I posted alot of pictures on my myspace about anime. When a friend of mine changed schools she made a new friend who was into korean music. On her myspace she had 2 video; BOA – velenti and another where the only word n the screen was TRI-ANGLE. The song was interesting and had several different genres that blended well together. Wanting to hear more of this cool music I ask my friend to find out from her new one ho this band was.. The person never got back to me…over the next few years I occasionally typed up TRI-ANGLE in google search or on youtube. All I und were shape triangles…Finally in 2009 I was Watching a video by Gackt when I look at the related video column and find the video again!!! Desperate, I scroll through the comments trying to find a group name. After about 5 pages I find it: TVXQ…Excitedly I look up every Music video from them on youtube…Nothing had been released since march 2010.It had taken me that long to catch up and make sure I saw every musical piece they had out…I began searching to find out more information, maybe even see if they were doing concerts here in the US.
The Break Up.
The news I discovered made me sad that I wouldn’t be able to here such great music anymore. Those 5 guys harmonzed so well together and all of their music was catchy and pulled at your emotions.
Continuing my new love for Korean Music I looked up others hey ad performed with, hoping f a smillar sound. . .I found JYJ! The guys continued their music! Such lovely sound!
I love all of Their songs. I especially like the ones each of them has written. It shows their talents so well. When I found that Yuchun was working on a drama I thought ‘Wow. These guys are good at everything.’
In order to keep up with each of their activities I was searching quite a lot. Around August 2010 I got cause to be even more excited. New that JYJ would be having concerts in the US and a english Language Album. My information came from here at JYJ3!
May of 2011 Newark, New Jersey concert was fun! I introduce my boyfriend to their music and brought him to the concert with me. We had a great time! It was his First time on an Airplane. The concert hall was 2 blocks from Our hotel. We had Ground floor seats on stage left. . . Definitely a time I will remember for quite some years to come.
Side Note: Since I was catching up so fast I noticed a gradual change to each of their Voices. Junsu’s high notes have gotten clearer. Not so much luke whistles anymore but harder to distinguish the syllables he is singing. Yuchun’s deep voice still thrills me but the loud he tryies to get the more garbled the words are. Jaejoong’s voice has gone from the clear wonderful notes to singing through his nose. They all still have wonderful voices!!! These are just somethings I noticed as I looked up their music year by year. I still consider then My 2nd favorite Musicians of my life. I will always appreciate them and look forward to more music! Keep up the good work, JYJ! Always Keep the Faith!
People always says ‘love at first sight’, well mine is more to ‘love at the first hearing’. It all started back in 2008, I actually didn’t know who are TVXQ or DBSK are and basically what is K-POP is all about. All I know is BIGBANG and is because of their TOGETHER FOREVER song. I am a ballad and slow song lover so this type of song can easily comfort and penetrate my heart and mind. Then one of my junior introduces me to DBSK and I straight away fall for their songs because their genres of songs are my type of songs. I still remember when I listen to and sing along to their songs while my roommate were sleeping and how I always stay awake until the next morning listened to their songs… in one week I can recognize their voices already while it took me months to memorize psychology book.
Jaejoong- husky yet soothing voice
Yoochun- manly-English/ unique voice
Junsu- cute but powerful voice
When each of them sings, they will give you the vibes that not many singers can make you feel…. their distinct voice makes them unique… and JYJ proves it all.
Never came across in my mind that this will happen thus when the news of 3 of them leaving the group comes and after the reason for the 3 to leave the group was made public… I knew who to choose and stay loyal with whom….. JYJ that is…..
With the quality of music and talent that they have showed us so far, I will never regret my decision to believe in the 3 of them because they are talented artists. I’ve always loves JYJ voices from their TVXQ era because they always sings the first verse of their song. If you like the song from the first verse you will simply love the whole song regardless their genre because the first verse id the attracter on the song. In JYJ album ‘Their Rooms, The Beginning, In Heaven’ and their solo album shows how they are gifted singer and composer that their music are evolving from time to time. And with all the obstacles that comes against them it is it really impressive that they still able to hold on and stay united and strong. Seeing their passion for music and life make me feel passion about my life thus make me believe that being JYJ fan ultimately my proudest moment as a fan..
TBH, i dont need the prize that bad…but i just want to share..
The first thing i know from JYJ is when i watching Yoochun in SKKS, and hear the Ost of that drama, then i search the info bout the singer and the arranger of those wonderful songs..
Found You, Too Love and For You Its a Separating, For Me Its Waiting are my fav..they really make my heart melting when i heard them..
I keep searching info bout them and finally hear bout In Heaven..
My God, Jaejoong is a genius.. How could he make this fantastiq song..? Just by hear it, i can feel the deep love and crying.. I will never delete it from my song list..
I like them, and i keep on like them.. Every songs they’ve created, every dramas they’ve starred, every great drama musicals Junsu’ve acted, every awards they’ve got.. I always thanks to God for their existence..
I know that they must not know bout me here, but i will always pray to Lord Jesus Christ for they will always be healthy, get more success, and reach their dreams and happiness..
Thank you so much JYJ for being in this world and have brought happiness to this world..
Thank you..
I learned aboy JYJ after I discovered TVXQ.The first music video that i saw was “Why did I fall in
love with you” on Youtube.The song really did touch my heart.I really do mean it, their vocals perfectly blended together.It
was like 5 angels ringing their harps together in harmony In Heaven.So I looked into more of
their songs and I fell in love with their acapellas.This was the most outstanding group out of
all the kpop groups.They were the perfect example of actually being a kpop group.I swear there are no other
groups like them.Then I saw a recently made music video call “Keep your head down” by TVXQ
that was released in 2011.Shocked I looked up why is there only two members in TVXQ.Sadly they
broke up.I really wanted to cry,because I knew there will be no other group like this.So,I looked
up into the 3 members that left which was the main vocals!!OMO,Jaejoong,Mickey,and Junsu, they created their own group “JYJ”.
I saw their music video with Kanye West,it was good.
It was nice to see them sing in english,and have swagg.
Honestly,I swear I really did like this song,also the albulm was nice to listen too,their english improved alot.I also saw the simonandmartina video on the ayy girl rolling their sexy windows down too lol.Junsu apron was quite sexy too haha.Mickey’s look was very unique and it was nice to see him do something different.Jaejoong engrish was as hot as his abs lol.I couldn’t hate on
them,they were awesome! But it wasn’t still the same with the other two (Changmin and U-Know).Isn’t it something only the leader and maknae left in TVXQ?
Anyway I can understand the reason why they left,who would want to be paid the leftovers of Smtown.I wish they could also get over with this court battle with SM,why can’t SM see they deserve to win,it’s fair,Geez! why not?I guess it’s like how everybody else says, “they are trolls”.
What can i do? is what I ask myself
All I can do is continue to support JYJ and TVXQ together. I hope and pray that they continue to make great acheivements.
They have left us beautiful music that will make us smile from the memories they were together,
and sometimes make us cry missing them as one.
But one thing I know that With all my heart, With all my soul,
With all my mind ,and With all my strength
I will always keep the faith!
Fighting JYJ!
At first, I saw MV of Ayy girl and get out of JYJ. After seeing this. I noticed this boy band is nice.
When SKK scandal aired in my country, I’m starting interesting in Yoochun. When Miss Ripley aired, I eventually know this actor is good in acting. When Rooftop prince aired, I was deeply in love with Park Yoochun. So I found every datail facts of Yoochun and JYJ.
So I knowed the talents of all three. I find and listen all songs of JYJ and Junsu ‘s songs because Yoochun said Junsu is amazing in one interview.
Jae Joong is very handsome and he is cute in the photo of Dr. Jin shooting site where he asked Han Ji Min’s photo “Where is Yoochun”
I love all, Jae Joong, Yoochun, Junsu especially in love with Yoochun.
I will support JYJ ever.
I really Park yuchun to awesomeness,!! Began frantically searching for him all the video since after all the drama that saw him play, only to find that he is so talented, serious people, not only acting, also sing, play the piano, dancing, funny, always so charming, so handsome, so smart, so cute …! every day to see him every day, and has already started can not extricate themselves!!
How did I become a fan of JYJ?
The song 찾았다 paved the way in my JYJ fandom. Through that song, I “found them.”
In December 2011 I took a leave from work to recover from an operation. During that time I decided to finally watch Sungkyungkwan Scandal, not knowing who the male lead was. As I fell deeper into Lee Seon Jun’s charms in the latter episodes of the drama (as well as wishing to be Kim Yoon Hee), I seriously got enthralled with the OST, specifically, as mentioned, 찾았다, and 너에겐 이별 나에겐 기다림. Aside from their distinct voices, they had something not all singers have: the heart. And from someone who is not fond of idol groups, something has changed. I have found the group to love.
That heart I came to discern as I got to know more about Kim Jae Joong, Park Yoochun, and Kim Junsu. I found it unbelievable that the group had gone through all that trials. Honestly, I wasn’t really knowledgeable about their ties with their previous company and group. So upon learning that, I just admired them more. I loved them as JYJ. As musicians who only wanted people to know their heart through music. As actors who portray emotions. As human beings who get hurt once in a while. As artists who wanted to reach people through their craft. And as an overseas fan who cannot even understand their language, I have felt their art—their heart.
Since then I have followed their activities, be it a drama, a musical, or a song. I have always thought of them as the strongest group in Korea. Not only because of what they are going through. They are the strongest group in terms of talent. They continuously proved that more than the looks, they are musically gifted. Individually they are strong, and like music, they have a perfect harmony as three. Moreover, I have always been touched at how they treat each other; they are like siblings who grew in front of our eyes. I love how they support each other’s individual activities, their simple conversations and photos on Twitter, and their laughter whenever they are together.
Since becoming JYJ, the boys have been working hard. And as a fan, that is more than enough. Sure, they work in the entertainment business, but never did I feel that they are doing all these things for “business,” it is more of entertaining the audience. Despite the language barrier, they reach out to overseas fans. Despite the ban, they gift the Korean people with good music, dramas, and musicals. I think that’s the “why” part of becoming a JYJ fan.
It would be a dream-come-true if I will be able to see them perform live. For sure I’ll cry when that happens. But more than wishing to see them, I would want their ban to be lifted first. The past few years have been tough for Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu, but despite that they have always been giving their all. I guess it’s time to give their freedom back, this has long been overdue. And when that happens, my fulfillment as a fan will surely be complete. And as the boys and the fans do, I am keeping the faith that it is coming their way very soon.
I wasn’t interested in Kpop before 2008, even when the whole girls in the classes were spazzing crazily abut DBSK, I ignored them~
until in the mid year of 2010, friend of mine showed me the live performance of JYJ Thanksgiving Concert at Dome..
I was enchanted by their performance, their voices and most of all their emotion they put at every line of the song they sing..now, I know what falling in love at the first time, that was with JYJ..
Starting from that very day, that friend of mine told me that they once belong to very famous group DBSK that I used to ignore.. she (my friend) told me that I have to learn by myself about their history in DBSK so that I can decide who to choose (it’s when I know they already split into JYJ and Homin), then I downloaded all their performance, both in variety show and their live performances in DBSK (not to mention that I brought another harddisk for keeping DB5K’s history).. I felt that there were no other group more funny and talented than DB5K.. I loved their interaction, their bond, their amazing skills of singing.. but above all, Every performance, whether it is live performance and variety got me hooked more with three men; Jaejoong, Yuchun, and Junsu, I noticed that JYJ has always became the center part of DB5K..
I read the history of how the lawsuit happened, the reason they want to split (needless to say that I am a big no for reading lol) then I realized that JYJ did the best for leaving such an asshole company..
oh, I forgot to say that I learned about JYJ not only from JYJ side but both~ I used to follow some OT5-sites even Homin-sites` I want to keep myself objective, bcs I don’t want foolishly fall in love with wrong person.. After my long-period of researching about JYJ an Homin, I’ve come to my right sense that these 3 men are angels..
And here I am becoming a JYJ fan~
even when I have already decided to support JYJ, I keep myself open to information regarding Homin, not to support them but to know their move, it is bcs I believe that knowing and being closed to our enemy would do us better than keep ourselves distant.. bcs being closed and knowing them more would give us knowledge about their strategy and that give us opportunity to compete them..
How did I became a big fan of JYJ..at first I didn’t know about JYJ and K-POP but when I hear their now song “In Heaven” for the first time,I immediately fell in love with them.Their mv was making me cry.They have a pure and Heavenly voice.They also very talented in acting and mucical drama.”The Boys Letter” is really sad.Although they have a hard time after debut..but they never want to show their hardships in fromt of their fans because they love their fans.For them fans support helps them to endure.They also gave me a inspiration.When I had a problems,I always think of JYJ and thanks to them I had a good grades in final exam..That tells me JYJ had changed my life forever and I really thankful to them..KAMSAHAMIDA & SARANGHAE OPPA!!! JYJ Hwaiting =D I will support you until the end…Now I’m a big fan of JYJ and a K-POP lovers…FOREVER JYJ & YOOCHUN!!!!
JYJ means more to me than a three member boy band that united together after incredible hardship. They mean more to me than I could ever possibly put into words. TVXQ: Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu, Changmin, Yunho…. I grew up with them in my life. I saw the hardships they went through together, and I saw them succeed, together, as a group of hardworking friends.
I became of fan of TVXQ around 2007, around the time I began High School. They were becoming extremely popular in Japan due to their “Purple Line” release and their Japanese songs sent my heart to heaven. The first MV I saw of TVXQ was “Purple Line” and I was so intrigued by their style that I went deep into their history and began to follow them as a Cassiopeian. My high school life was pretty tough… and TVXQ saved me from depression. It might seem a little extreme to say that, but I think only my fellow fans would understand. Their attitudes towards life, their perseverance as friends, their laughter, and their faith in each other filled my heart with strength. Their harmony in their singing….. aah there are just no words! Does anyone else agree? Please? Their voices are absolutely beautiful and I just know God put them together.
When I found out about the lawsuit I was devastated; but I knew Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu had good reason for what they did. I won’t ever fully understand what happened but I know those three men truly love Changmin and Yunho.
I continued to follow Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu and when I found out they were going to continue as a group I was so thankful! And low and behold… here I am now! Lover of JYJ and Homin. I will continue to keep the faith because I know our boys are. I can go on about each of the members’ journeys and how much more I admire them… but that would be too long, right? ^^ I hope that one day I can show them how grateful I am for their hard work! And I hope that others will be influenced by them like I have. I love JYJ~!!! <333
I think it all start at my second grade in highschool, which is like… 4 years ago? anyway, I got hookup first after seeing Purple Line in TV, well, to tell the truth, i was only looking at the blonde guy through the whole video and I don’t even know who they are. Sadly, at the time internet is kinda new (I live in a small town, so, yeah…) and the connection is so slow that downloading a song or video were a pain in the butt so i kinda forget about it until some month after when I see Mirotic at the very same channel and I absolutely fall for the guy that tied to the wall. Now that I have faster internet, i went on a search for them and i realize that it’s the same group that sing Purple Line… and that I fall twice for the same guy… (Its Jaejoong, of course)
DBSK has such addictive song, I started downloading all their song that I could find… Matching which face is whose and which voice is whose and damn, all five of them has such a great talent, and my love for them (especially Jaejoong) only grows as the time pass. But suddenly BAM!! There’s this lawsuit things going around… I didn’t think of it too much at first, i thought it would solved quickly but it’s not.. things get worse and the rumors of them breaking apart is seriously killing me. Again, time pass and they released break out and toki wo tomete, so i thought everything is getting better but all my hope died just like that. Toki wo Tomete is their last song as five.
Now… before people start throwing thing at me, I was still young and naive before… there are times when I actually hate Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu for leaving like that, then I start blaming Yunho and Changmin for staying, I felt like burning SM building down to the ground. And then I start forgiving, (hating is exhausting, really, especially when theres no reason to hate, after all) except for SM. Now I support both group… thought the one I actually followed is JYJ since Jae is my bias.
Some days ago when all those lawsuit is over, to tell the truth, I still feel sad. I guess theres still this tiny hope in me for them to comeback as five (not under SM, I don’t want JYJ to come back there, I want Homin to LEAVE). But what done is done for good reason and I’m happy for them. I don’t care which group they’re in. If in the future they decide to go separate ways, I’ll still follow ALL of them whereever they go, because it’s the person that really matters.
i become of fan of TVXQ around 2006.Around the time i working in singpore.i start to known internet then i buying anything CD, DVD 2008 kpop radio singpore start to air 2hours only but ilike to listening tvxq but 2009 they break group i found out the new.so i didn’t buying SME product 2010 i start to known JYJ and i become a JYJ fun
I don’t know if this contest is closed or not, but I give it a shot anyway….
I have been a fan JYJ during their days as TVXQ around 2005. It was love at first sight. I was 13 during that time. The very first song and music video I saw from TVXQ was Triangle. Yoochun was my first bias from the beginning, but through out the years, Jaejoong clumsy sexy self and his personality stole my heart away from Yoochun. Now Jaejoong is my first bias. Yoochun is my second bias and Junsu is my thrid bias. I love all three of them and Changmin and Yunho as well.
Of course I will be a fan of JYJ because Jaejoong is one of the members and I will always forever support him. I also love Yoochun and Junsu a lot. I support both JYJ and Homin. To me, JYJ are the best singers in the whole entire world and same goes for the looks as well. During their days as DBSK, they were known as the Kings of Kpop who reach the legendary status. They’re so talented. There is not one JYJ song or music video I dislike. JYJ is a total package and definitely eye candy. They have the looks, talents and skills as artist and actors, have lovely voices when they sing, sing live extremely well, they can dance and other things.
It’s amazing how JYJ went through so much with SM and the lawsuits, being banned, blacklisted in their own country with no promotion, being on TV, and Variety shows, yet they find another way to stay connected with their fans, becoming more popular and successful as a group, set records as artist in South, Korea and other countries, becoming ambassador and representing their country for many organizations, holding and being over their own concerts, and many more accomplishment.
It makes me proud to be a JYJ fan! JYJ has been giving money away to charities and peoples of need in their home country and other countries. They’re just too awesome, friendly, thoughtful and kind heart. JYJ, Thank you for always putting a smile on my face and being an inspiration in my life. I love you guys and will always always always support you for ever. Continue to create new epic and breathtaking songs, sing, act in soap opera’s, break and set new records, continue to win the hearts of millions across the globe and take the world by storm.
Your fan,
Jazzy
