Hi, friends,
Will you listen to our story?
We were children with many dreams.
We loved songs so much,
Sang from heart,
Wanted to meet many friends.
Through the days of sweaty practice and white nights in the recording studios,
We had families who suffered together and numerous friends.
Finally, we could see the fruits of our efforts of blood and sweat
With our own eyes and hands.
Worrying our behavior would hurt the family’s heart,
We carefully behaved and followed family’s words unconditionally.
Family always told us.
Don’t look at the world outside and block your ears from the sound heard.
Everything is estrangement, everything is a lie.
And then one day,
So many facts were exposed.
We, still children with grown body, were so confused with the facts,
And could not control ourselves.
In no time we became adults.
We looked at the world even when asked not to look at,
We listened even when asked not to hear.
We grew to the age that can tell what was the lie and what was the truth.
The family we have known till then
Was not the family as we had thought.
Our hearts were bruised and minds got sick.
Could not believe anyone
and changed to a situation that we never imagined.
We gradually realized,
Looking at ourselves who were changing and losing dreams
This is not where we should be.
There should be wider and brighter world.
If there is not, we will make it with our songs.
Out of the fence of the so called the family “who is not the family”
We decided to make a new nest.
A nest that can heal our hurt soul and dream.
We are now making our nest.
Our friends became family
And have numerous new family.
Despite the interruption of people who used to be family,
With the help of new family
We can sing again.
The first day we came to sing again
Tears did not stop.
We wanted to sing again and make songs.
Now we can meet family only on stages, (note: not on tv)
But we are doing real love as our heart leads.
Now we know.
Only those who love people and trust people
Can dream a dream and have hope.
My family is filled with love and trust,
And our story will continue.
Will you listen to our stories forever?

A++++++++++++++++++++++
i’ll never get tired of your story..u can share with us everything and we will always be there for u..always..
“The first day we came to sing again, Tears did not stop” …JYJ first concert in Japan, they cried from start till the end…ohh…make me tear up again. why so hurtful for them to sing?
yea..remember that too..
W song that time was so heartbreaking..especially junsu..his tears just out nonstop..that is the 1st time i saw that side of junsu..its different from pride performance..
jyj keep soaring baby..dont be scare anymore..this new nest of family will protect you forever..
Forever Oppa…please do well for now on…
The three of you not only give us a nice music… but also life lesson of love and courage… 🙂
Another speechless essay from Junsu.
First from Yuchun and now Junsu.
Similary, both of them talk about the same things happened to them when they were with those used to so called ‘Family’.
The more translation of their essay coming out, the more the truth is disclosed. No more hiding their painful feeling, no more suffering from the obedient they were told to follow. No more lies!!!!!!!!!!!
Dream higher, soar even higher JYJ!
And his tweet makes that much more sense.
yeah!!! right?
Yea. And the definition of ‘family’ in SM is just so disturbing and kinda sad.
ikr.
actually the tweet incident make enough evidence how absurd the old family were. I think SME make a wrong moves to actually retaliate and act all defensive. it shows their dirty side to the world, now Their rooms come out its become more the reason on how fans will gv our undying support coz JYJ being intimate and honest with us in Their Rooms.
It really did.
SUSU…TT TT…we’ll always be here to listen!
Family always told us.
Don’t look at the world outside and block your ears from the sound heard.
Everything is estrangement, everything is a lie.
That is disturbing.
Family. That’s the word the mob uses, too. And most cults.
I’m sure I’ll have more to say once I stop crying.
I know.
Thoughts of cult behavior crossed my mind as well. There is something insidious about power brokers who create this kind of atmosphere. They prey on those who can’t make decisions for themselves. Those who are lucky enough to breakaway, are usually the smartest and the sharpest.
That’s why I’ve been interested in the comments that mention JaeJoong was passed over for leader, and the task given to Yunho. I too, observed in various videos the actions that appeared more ‘leader’ like came from JaeJoong. I thought I was imagining things. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that part of the ‘training program’ doesn’t include some type of ‘psychological testing’ exam.
there was one thing that has never made sense to me when it came to yunho’s pre-debut with him staying with Junsu and JJ. Yunho’s parents are far from what we would call poor. So why was he stuck on the street and with living with other people?
Yunho’s past tells me he’s not a very self-reliant person.
JJ’s made sense with him leaving on his own accord and the odd jobs and such. But notice how JJ never relied on anyone else. JJ has always been the one that had the most leadership qualities out of anyone in that group.
*not self-reliant as in without support he doesn’t know how to survive on his own.
@bmw81187 Yunho’s father didn’t support his decision to go to Seoul and basically cut him off. I think one of the reasons he stayed with SME is because he couldn’t stand the idea of going through that again, but this time with two disappointed “fathers”.
Both Yunho and Jj had a very tough time in their early days in Seoul, I don’t think judging what they did or didn’t do during that time is fair. I actually admire both of them for taking that kind of risk. I think the reason why they were in that position is far more telling.
Continuing the comment above 😀
I think it’s telling because it goes to the heart of the reason Yunho is not the best leader in group. He’s a good son doing as he’s told. He is a good representative of the family. He’s a spokesman. A leader has to trust himself first, I don’t think Yunho does that.
@ButterfliesAreFree
I don’t know about formal psychological testing, but I think they figure out fast who is going to cause problems, think for themselves, put the group before the company. There is a reason Yoochun and Jaejoong were the ones that were going to be cycled out of the group first (in 2004). And even though SME backed down at that time, I’m sure the threat stayed.
@ELIZA: I’m not “judging” them, Im just saying it’s very telling of their personalities and their mindsets.
I basically was saying Yunho’s not very self-reliant. Your reply about how he’s concerned with being the “good son” basically proves my point.
He’s more concerned with being obedient than he is with anything else.
I’ll go ahead and wait for your complete disagreement. 🙂
@bmw81187, Eliza, Butterfliesarefree: Very interesting discussion here about Jaejoong and Yunho’s leadership qualities. I think the comment made about Yunho being “spokesman” and “a good son” was insightful and sums up well my impression… particularly after the past half year, after Tokyo Dome 2010, when JJ began in my mind to show some leadership qualities. I think his leading style is quite collaborative and it’s not surprising that he could have been a leader (or at least, kind of metaphorically and literally the centre, of the group).
@bmw81187 We don’t completely disagree. If we did, I wouldn’t bother with the conversation. 😀
Where we are disagreeing is on the small point of how their behaviour when they came to Seoul illustrates their leadership abilities. I don’t think it does. I think Yunho’s staying with people was him being lucky to have that option. Also, wasn’t Yunho going to school? I don’t think Jaejoong bothered and so could work enough to afford rent.
I think that time effected them differently, and that’s what supports your thesis that Yunho wasn’t the best leader. Jaejoong learned he could trust himself. Yunho likely never wants to risk going through that again. It’s not that he can’t survive on his own, it’s that he doesn’t want to have to.
@bmw81187
yeah i remember that too…. jj did everything for living(in a good way) even sold his blood in order to get food…. he is so blunt,his charactheristic is strong, i think that’s why sm doesn’t let him be a leader, they can’t control him…
@Eliza: i know you’re talking about leadership abilities, but you made a comment about Yunho not wanting to risk going through the difficult time again, which I find interesting but disagree with.
Remember Yunno has a very high IQ score? over 140 if i don’t misremember. The mean IQ score is 100 (standard deviation = 15), so he’s actually in the top 1% in the population in terms of intelligence (if the score reported is correct).
What i’m trying to say is that he may be a very smart person. Being smart, he must know that there’s a sharp limit to his talents (in contrast to the other three). So rather than fearing or not willing to go through hardship, i think he just didn’t see the point of going through hardship in the first place.
ps: i can’t help but make another brief comment about Yunho being “a good son doing what he’s told.” Well, if that were true, he wouldn’t have left for Seoul in the first place, right? (you did mention that his father objected to it). i really don’t think Yunho is as rigid and obedient as commonly viewed.
ps: sorry if it appears like i’m picking on your comments. i liked them, that’s why i’m writing this.
@almondie I don’t think we do disagree. You said, “So rather than fearing or not willing to go through hardship, i think he just didn’t see the point of going through hardship in the first place.”
Exactly. This issue wasn’t worth going through being homeless and family-less again. He rebelled once and ended up alone; he found it isn’t a price he’s willing to pay again.
Intelligence is valuable in assessing risk, but it has nothing to do with the willingness to take it. I think they all knew the risks of leaving, but only three considered them worth the price.
@Eliza:
Okay, got your point.
i agree he must have found it not worth the price this time (despite big success from the rebellious attempt last time).
@almondie
I agree but just wanted to mention that there are two types of smarts out there…book smart and street smart so even though yunho has a high IQ it doesn’t mean he’s directly smart in life…if you know what i mean…for example my mom she’s street smart and knows how to take care of herself if she’s ever stuck somewhere alone, and she’s a good leader…but when she was younger she never really like school and wasn’t good at it(now it’s different because she’s more mature) in that sense she’s like jaejoong…
while my dad on the other hand is booksmart, he got straight As and probably has a high IQ but he’s not as good a leader and is similar to yunho…I’m just saying having a high IQ doesn’t mean that your shart (cause my dad sure isn’t -____-)
Eliza girl, I like your posts.
and I agree with you.
@Eliza
I have to agree with the yunho is more like a spokesman statement.
Personally I’ve never seen Yunho as the leader, instead Ive always seen it as a partnership between him and Jaejoong. The thing is Yunho needs to be the ‘leader’, it’s just the way he is hes the type that has the personality where he needs to appear a certain way to people. He has to be strong, he has to be the leader, he has to be man, he has to be this, he has to be that. While Jaejoong is the type that doesn’t like to take responsibility for people. He likes control and he’s good at it, but he’s not the type that has to be seen as the leader, like yunho. Jaejoong is the type you would call a leader at heart or the type that would be second in command (the one that really does everything behind the scenes). The reason Ive always considered the leadership role a partnership between them is because,
1).Yunho is like the front man he says the right thing, he does the right things, his appearance is role model like, he’s picture perfect on the outside of what a leader should be. Then you have Jaejoong who on the outside doesnt look as roe model like, he’s way from free with his words, he doesnt like containing himself as much as yunho, on the outside jj looks like a rebel while yunho looks like a teacher… But on the inside JJ is more leader like in the sense that hes truly a care taker and he takes charge but not in the way that makes others feel threaten usually people want to do what he says because he makes things fun i his own way.
2). Talking is usually the leader’s job but in interviews (and even when on stage) you’ll notice that these two talk the most, an they have what I like to call the ping-pong effect. Basically they pass the conversation back and forth to each other. Getting everything said (like a leader is supposed to do) but making it interesting.
3). The most important one of all Yunho isn’t really a full on leader. Like I said hes the picture perfect image of what a leader should be but when push comes to shove there has been many times where he was supposed to take control and instead he look towards another member. Theres also the fact that a loooot of times he does what Jaejoong says and Jaejoong ends up leading.
I don’t think either one could fully be the leader alone. Jaejoong he could do the job but it would take affect on his personality in the sense that the responsibility of a leader would over shadow his need for freedom. Jaejoong is a people pleaser but at heart hes a rebel. At the end of the day hes gonna do what he wants and that freedom is what makes Jaejoong, Jaejoong. With Yunho he has the need to be the leader which is what makes him good in the position but in a lot of ways hes actually a follower. Thats why there partnership has always worked so well because Jaejoong gets his freedom yet still gets to control people here and there (I’ve always felt like jj had some control issues lol) while yunho gets the image that he needs and still gets to follow someone from time to time. (Not sure if I explained myself clearly…too much to go into).
Junsu-ah~
Your family well see you on tv soon. We fans well make that happen!
You are not only my favourite idol BUT someone I look up to. You make me strong!
I co-sign.
I..can not say, can not believe that the wold they use to lived!!! YC,JS.. I am scare but i am so proud of you! you get all my support! love….
don’t scare… together we can….
It is so sad to hear how they have suffered all these years! I can’t believe how much they suffered. I’m glad they are out.
Hwaiting JYJ! Thank you Junsu for sharing your story.
You can tell from both yc & js stories , they are really deeply Damaged . sigh . Brighter days coming , amen.
I’m going to become like JJ and turn into a faucet! XoXo Junsu
*hugs*
*patted your back*
*one faucet jj is alredy enough (said yoosu)* LOL^^
*_* my heart is crying then tears drop from my eyes.
from Yochun then Junsu…reading both of your essay it’s very hard to stop the tears…
Yes, still love you,still be here forever.
yeah… their life before is like a TRUMAN SHOW… the article ive read before was indeed a great comparison to their life under SM
Thats the first thing I thought of when I began reading his essay…so sad 😦
Junsu yaa, i will always support u , even if the battle will last forever. Now dammit i want to go to Korea and hug jyj lol .
@Eliza…I should have referenced and suggested ‘psychological profile’ testing. I don’t know if this still goes on or not. I’m going to date myself here 🙂 When I went to college, many moons ago…during freshman orientation we were given the above mentioned kind of test. It was pretty much standard practice. It was even done in some employment settings during the job interview testing procedures. Companies, entities try and figure out if you’re going to ‘fit in’. I don’t think it mattered much, since as a rebellious action, I chose every ‘crazy statement I could find to answer ‘yes’ to. Call me quirky. 🙂
I just get the sense that this ‘gentleman’ LSM, when he started this company, knew exactly what he wanted to create, how he wanted to created it, and how he wanted to run it. A business plan, so to speak. I don’t believe for one instant this current company profile has evolved by accident.
So, in order to maintain your creation, you manipulate any and every facite(sp) to achieve this. It’s just unfortunate that vulnerable young lives have to fall victim to this.
In any respect, JYJ are out of there now, and have fresher air to breathe. I just feel sorry more than anything else for those left behind. Hopefully, once all the dust settles from this entire industry makeover – and I believe that’s coming – South Korea will begin to see the true meaning of Hallyu Wave.
I knew what you meant. 😀 I’ve done a number of these tests myself during job searches myself. They can be very useful with an employer who actually knows what they are for. I would just be very surprised if SME was that sophisticated in their selection process. If they found someone who looked right or was of exceptional talent, think they would ignore the signs and bring them in anyway.
I see SME running as much on arrogance as anything. Get the kids young enough and they will be able to mould them into anything they want. It’s not like they want the kids to be happy, to fit in, they want the kids to do as they’re told. Threats and punishment have a long tradition of being very effective with children. And they do their best to keep their employees children as long as possible.
I wouldn’t doubt that at all. I actually had been thinking that they got the kids so young because the would be more impressionable. =) This is pretty deep. I like the environment on this site. But going back on topic, I agree I think they do try to keep their employees outta the loop for as long as possible.
I had to chuckle at the ‘that sophisticated’ comment. You’re probably right. I agree with the arrogance theme. Their whole stance throughout this entire ordeal has been one of ‘supreme’ arrogance. But this is because they have been allowed to get away with it.
I keep reminding myself – EVERY DOG HAS HIS DAY!
First time writing and can say that these guys have captured my heart such strong will and the fact that they are fighting to tell the world their story JYJ you guys have my support KEEP FIGHT WILL FIGHT WITH U.
Hehe Junsu, we’ve got your back. Need I say more? 😉

WE ARE YOUR NEW FAMILY!
i’m with you…….. 333333333333333333
>///< keke~~~ BRING OUT YOUR WEAPONS! IS WAR FOR US!
^_^ I’m with you too
I’ll listen to their stories for the next 10-20-30—50 yrs… for as long as they’re willing to tell
though we cant be sure what SM and their “minions” will do next ~ im determined to stay by JYJ’s side and support them in everything they do
junsu and yoochun’s essays really made me cry T___T
*shudder thinking about their situation before
piece of advice to everyone here.. DON`T GO TO ALLKPOP.. in the next days.. because surely, that place will be hell… i can tell that they will bash jyj like crazy… because they are really doing it right now in one of their forums in which the topic is yoochun“s song… i can feel their anger…
so don`t go there if you want a peace of mind…
i never go there~~~ XD that suicidal and dear jyj fans don’t try to reason =) we got other things to do, like sending emails to korean ministry of justice and more ^^ allkpop has got to be one of the stupidest commenter there..bias over logic == whatever they can hate our JYJ but our love for them is STRONGER THAN EVEr!
actually what are they angry about? that the truth about sme is revealed? that their awesome company is just a delusional of its image?
once, i commented there at homin`s guerilia date at hongdae which compared them to jyj`s episode where many fans are in the street while them, the streets have spaces in between… then they bash me just like that (snap) .. they said i don`t belong there..
*** yah i know.. because i belong HERE.. in jyj`s fansite… because i support them ..
jyj.. fighting..
LOOL @ JYJ.
I feel your pain. Been bashed by HoMin and BoA fans XD
whew lucky me~~i don’t go syc allkpop or anywhere i can see hm…i rather stay in my jyj heave =)
yup, I have a feeling that SM hires those ppl to say those stuffs. But ya, completely lost faith in allkpop, this is the only site I go to get JYJ updates hehehe….
@jyj4ever501 why did you go there in the first place kehkehkeh you silly ^^
Because there’s a news about ss501 so I went there … Then I see on the forum topic about yuchoon’s song.. Then I see it .. There bashing him like crazy..
Gladys Knight is one of my favorite singers. This is her rendtion of Leann Womack’s – I Hope You Dance. It was used as part of the OST (no official track was released) in Tyler Perry’s – The Family That Prey’s Together, so it’s directly downloaded from the movie. Hope the link works and you enjoy.
thank you! I love this song too!
just last night, i was seriously thinking about making a fan-vid of JYJ with this song as background!!!!
Can’t wait to see it!! Let us know when it’s up. 🙂
ooo that AWESOME!! it you make it!

now, we’re the new family for them
I said family, and I mean it ..

and when you open the door, and we see you standing in front of us ..
we will smile at you and say …
“Welcome home..”
beatiful!! that mean “FAMILY”
I think the 5 of them really suffered a lot back then.
Truth is, only 3 of those are willing to move out of their comfort zone. (not comfort as in ‘family, blah blah blah”, but that they can be assured they will be promoted by a huge company as long as they remain popular)
I still feel disappointed that they did not do this together.
Back to that interesting topic that some gals were commenting on, profile analysis.
Remember when they boys just debut, JJ had to maintain a so-call “cold, cool, mysterious character”?
I never understood why.. granted he had the ‘cold’ look when people just met him, (that’s something he admitted), but he is so adorable and frank. ^^
Futhermore, he was a trainee for a few years, people there would have already know what kind of person he is.
I believe it was said that JJ had many friends there, once. -_-|||
So why would JJ still need to protray that imagine?
I guess if SM had really done the analysis, the only reason why they gave him that profile, is to shut him up during interviews.
They knew he could have said many honest things without thinking whether he should have said those.
He is too straight-forward. SM is wary of that.
Perhaps that’s why he was not given the leadership role.
Jaejoong actually said that his mysterious “concept” was so that he would stay quiet.
IKR, coz SM KNEW they cannot control him.(┌_┌)|||
Poor baby only got to be himself after the 3rd album.
Ohh i think tht was from DBSK Come To Play. I remember him saying tht.
I’d been on a TVXQ binge for a few months and then the “O” promos started and I went, “Who is this guy? This isn’t the shy Jaejoong I know.” It was awesome!
LOL, yea.. though he is my favourite from the start, I love him more after that.^^
Well, when I thought I couldn’t adore him more, he proves me wrong everytime…
@shadow I totally feel the same. JJ was my bias since the very beginning, and I just keep loving him more and more each day
that “mysterious” persona they forced on him actually was bad for him in the beginning ~ cause of that he was not popular at first… still resent SM for that
LOL…hes so entertaining when he talks…like how u put it, adorable and frank….why would anyone ever want to shut him up if what they need is interesting convo!?!?!?!?
@Ellie
IKR!! That boys is totally an angel~
Jae has been my bias since the beginning too and I can’t stop loving him.
Jae’s my bias since the first time, It’s hard to decide between him and Yunho, but his personality had tranced me LOL
count me in count me in…..
he captured my heart the first time i laid my eyes on TVXQ5!!!!! we choose the right person then…. 🙂
Wow…interesting.
This is a bit scary :S
SM is a kind of cultt. can the people inside there think properly?
I´m happy for our JYJ… They are FREE FREE FREE FREE!! <3333333
Muah Junsu.
I love JYJ like they are part of my own soul. The word forever doesn’t do it justice because that is still within the realm of time. My love is beyond that. This isn’t even close to just being a fan of a music group. I will love them and worry about them and try to help them as much as it takes.
I love JYJ like they are part of my own soul. The word forever doesn’t do it justice because that is still within the realm of time. My love is beyond that.
Woah. That’s deep! It is very amazing to me that this band inspires such devotion and deep loving sentiment from their fans – as though they know them personally.
jyj hwaiting… we will always be by ur side…. 😀
now i feel very3 bitter with homin… but still i support them… (but i will not buy their album)
but i really3 wan 2 have this jyj music essay….
lol so true, ‘d family we used 2 have b4 r not family anymore’.. what kind of family is dat who bashed my beloved jyj eventhough they used 2 be friend b4… how could they… n what make me pissed more is dat does homin does not feel anything when those ‘family’ bashed their own members????
In the times of adversity, you see a man’s true heart.
Yuchun, Junsu and Jaejoong, we’ve seen yours.
Now please see ours, the fans’.
For we will be here
–> Behind you, to support you
–> In front of you to shelter whatever storms that may come
–> With you, every step of the way.
Everything you have written, I believe it and support it 100%
JYJ are coming on strong. We will be your back up forever! I dx understand why some people got so defensive saying what Junsu and Yoochun wrote were too personal, I mean its their emotion and freedom to do so and in their word never once they degrade people or cursing people with harsh words. from what i read were all sad sad emotion that bloated up wait to burst out. Was it that rare to express emotions in SKorea. We outside that country doing it all the time. Its a freedom in speech. I thought they were democratic country. They dx have the democratic nation and mentality as well? Im sorry if I offended people coz i dx understand it that well.
your name leftshinki LOL^^ *hugs and Kisses*
love you back ^^ dindalovejaejoongleftshiki is kinda cool too LOL
surprisingly, Changmin said that what YC said didnt happen to him or HM. he added that most likely, Yoochun was the only one who experienced it.
sme doesnt need the whole sm town artist to gang up on YC. Changmin’s words alone do bite. so Changmin has this side of him.
smh so much.
WHAT. when did he say that? Homg……………………………I’m amazed 😦 how can he say such words…….
When did CM said that?
ok so it means that Changmin wanna say Yoochun being all emo and butthurt alone? Yoochun actually delusional, bratty and selfish. I see changmin….you are the smart boy people praise you to be. You are smart for saving your own ass.
owh….and Changmin we speak human language not Geese’s language. So i dx really get it, when you speak i dx understand your language. it come out as analogs every time you voice your thoughts. Does Geese language comes out as analog?
yeahh…..voldagoose seriously should have just said “no comment”.
The more he talks, the more he ruins his own reputation.
Oh btw, YH lied and still said JJ hasn’t contacted him.
well Yunho is a liar. No surprised there.
@ivory Pls provide some links or articles.
I don’t want to see fanwars coming just because of hearsay.
And most importantly, I really hope CM did not say that.
hold on, im digging DC now. it was posted since this morning,i lost track already, heavy traffic at DC, plus this Yunho audio came out, much talked about too.
@ivory woah seriously?
if what you say is true.. i’ve never thought of being totally militant about the boycott
but if what you say is true i think KCassies are more than justified if they go batshit crazy pull a jaebom on them!
audio of yunho saying jj daen`t contact him… its from a fan signing event…

http://pds22.egloos.com/pds/201101/23/06/ddz.swf
I know YH said he didn’t received any phone calls from the 3 but what i’m talking about is CM comments on YC’s song.
@ivory. I am curious about what you said about CM. Any luck in finding the link to the article (or better still, a translation)? It seems that there hasn’t been much reaction yet in the media, though I’m expecting HM to be asked questions about the truth in these lyrics soon.
For me, it doesn’t matter anymore what these two says. They just don’t matter anymore.
All I know is that I’m going to stand by JYJ.
=_= i’ve been doing that
I really try to keep an open mind and heart, but the more things come out from HoMin … the more my heart crumbles. now I cant even look at an article about them without feeling really uncomfortable. well, i just dont look at their news/articles/updates at all
but if indeed what changmin said about yuchun, and yunho about jaejoong was true then … I really feel upset now ~ where are the leader and maknae I’ve known for years?!??!?!
@anon me too i cant even look at their pictures , it just make me soo upset that they r nor with jyj, well changmin drama is coming out soon, i wonder whether or not i should even watch it
I don’t watch their performances, I don’t listen to their songs, I don’t watch their dramas (I didn’t even bother with Yunho’s before) and the variety shows they’re in, and I don’t read their news/interviews/updates. To be honest, if it wasn’t for the articles posted here with regard to them, I probably wouldn’t have felt that they came back. I don’t even know what they look like anymore, LOL.
As it is, I have this feeling that the only people who care about them are their fans. Am I bad thinking that way? I guess…but out of sight, out of mind. It’s healthier and I can focus on the more important stuff (like supporting JYJ in any way I can). I’m not saying every one should be like me though, because we have different ways of coping about what happened (I was a 5fan once upon a time). Mine just happened to be this. ^^
part of me, I still hope that JYJ and homin can still reunite but I really don’t see how this is going to happen, espcially how homin has treated jyj recently. Sometimes, I really hope that homin is just acted like they are on sm side but in reality, they are fighting with jyj internally, like you know in kdramas but, this is not kdrama
@JYJ_fan I just leave it to fate, whether they will reunite or not. ^^ In the chance that they do, I hope it would be because they want to (because all five of them have settled things and truly wish for it) and not because they need to. But sensing the bitterness, especially in Changmin’s part, I guess there are just some wounds that would take a lot of time to heal.
I was a 5TVXQ fan for three years, and I cherish the time I was, because they were really great together and their brotherhood spoke for itself. I can respect HoMin’s decision for staying with SME, but that doesn’t mean I have to support them. People choose different paths and it will bring changes with it. I don’t like the change it brought about in HoMin’s part, so I just choose to ignore them.
@anon that’s pretty much what im doing now. Im totally ignorance toward what ever matter related at them. I dx even know what their hair look like nowadays. They totally dead to me. I hope i will recover.
woah..seriously..yesterday i really hope homin will not comment about this..but seem like not..of course media will ask them..but what bother me is the way they answer it..they make jyj look like stupid liar..S***
did sm blackmail them and turn them into this??..im one of the fans who think that i know all them personality for this 4 years but now i feel really lost and stupid..did this really homin that we know before?? i think not only us cassies, but jyj also will though that they dont know who is homin anymore..they just stranger..
im trying hard to ignore them but look like this two uknownothing and voldergeese really make me pissed lol..
seriously changmin either your iq or eq drop or what? == sorry but i don’t believe u that u didn’t went through the same thing, u FIVE thought of suing SME in the first place for the contracts then u and yunho pulled out saying this method will not slove anything then why bother saying yoochun is the only one who got this type of treatment from sme? and yunho…dear jaejoong didn’t call u he smsed u..he tried to connect with u and what did u do? tell your fans that jae didn’t contact u? THEN BE A MAN AND CALL HIM! god damnit….stop waiting for the other side to call out to you….if u don’t respond to them any time in the future they will give up on u both…it’s either u call and made the effort to reconnect with jyj or it’s goodbye…you’re not responding…from jyj….
I think that for two years, SM keep brainwashing HM, so they changed their personality drastically. I don’t want to hate HM, but sometimes the situation only make it difficult not to hate them
“if u don’t respond to them any time in the future they will give up on u both…it’s either u call and made the effort to reconnect with jyj or it’s goodbye…”
i hate to admit it but what you said was all true..waiting is pain the more you waiting the deepen your heart will get hurt..
Yunho sshi nobody will never know if you reply Jae SMS’s secretly..that’s the least you can do to protect your friendship..as for Changmin sometimes I just want to forgive him for being such a little belligerent but then….TT^TT those things you said was just too much…….
Chocogurl mentioned Changmin said something about Micky being alone in his struggle with SM.
When when WHEN did he say that????
Shhh..???..”he” you’re referring to whom? sorry ^^ I didn’t get your question ^^
I want Jae to say out loud like Junsu and Yoochun too and see what Changmin will say. I think He loved (or still but I don’t care) Jae the most back then but he has already changed. So I’m curious how he will respond if Jae speaks out too.
Jae is such a nice boy..he always be the quite one when it comes to this matter..hmm i wonder if he going to speak up his mind like Junsu and Yuchun or maybe he is but in a nice and proper way..(that’s why he tried to contact Yunho at the first place)^^ this is him..maybe he don’t want to make things worst by saying things in public but i wish he could express his felling more toward this matter…i really want to know how he feels and share his felling with fans…somehow i think he tried very hard to hide his true feeling T^T
and that’s hurt…
Yes, true. That’s one of the reasons I fall for him. I just want to see what Homin will say. But maybe, he won’t coz he always keeps things to himself so I’m sometimes worried when he is emotional. I don’t want anything happen to the boys, and I’m so glad that they are not the types that get depressed and then…I just wish with our live, they will always be happy. It’s life so there will be obstacles but as they keep smiling, everything will be fine.
I found this comment at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTgEgzw5mJ8&feature=related ^^ I totally agree with ItsMyFinger ^^
“It finally clicked for me why I find JYJ so much comforting to watch – they took TVXQ spirit with them, what we used to get from them when the guys were five together: joking around , being silly and funny, picking on each other, and projecting love and warm towards each other at the same time. I find comfort in JYJ videos, no wonder I keep replaying messages like this one over and over again.”
I feel so relieve when i first read this comment ^^ maybe we just worried too much ^^|||
LOVE JYJ!!
Can any Korean fans please provide inside to the situation now in Korea?
I really want to know how people/fans are taking this.
Reading this again Junsu and yes Yoochun and Jaejoong too… this is for you…
I’ve been working hard so long
Seems like pain has been my only friend
My fragile heart’s been done so wrong
I wondered if I’d ever heal again
Ohh just like all the seasons never stay the same
All around me I can feel a change (ohh)
I will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me
Leave the past behind me, today my life begins
A whole new world is waiting it’s mine for the takin’
I know I can make it, today my life begins
Today My Life Begin, Bruno Mars
I love bruno mars
i think grenade fits SM (sorta)
Easy come, easy go, that’s just how you live
Oh, take, take, take it all but you never give
Should’ve known you was trouble from the first kiss
Had your eyes wide open, why were they open?
Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, you did
Black, black, black and blue, beat me ’til I’m numb
Tell the devil I said, hey, when you get back to where you’re from
Mad women, bad women, that’s just what you are, yeah
You’ll smile in my face then rip the brakes out my car
Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, yes, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
‘Cause what you don’t understand is
I’d catch a grenade for ya
Throw my head on a blade for ya
I’d jump in front of a train for ya
You know I’d do anything for ya
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for ya, baby
But you won’t do the same
If my body was on fire
Ooh, you’d watch me burn down in flames
You said you loved me, you’re a liar
‘Cause you never, ever, ever did, baby
i cut off some parts
AWESOME SONG though
this and just the way you are ❤
Woah are you me? i started to think we have a same interest in music. I remember you like Rock/Alternative music too rite? yup Grenade fit SME kehkehkeh. I like Taoi Cruz too ^^ and I Can Be by Taoi Cruz fit JYJ too ^^
I never was into Bruno but hmm he makes good songs.

“My family is filled with love and trust,
And our story will continue.
Will you listen to our stories forever?”
Junsu-ah, I will listen forever
Jaejoong ~ Yuchun ~ Junsu, it has been hard on you, but dont worry anymore. This family you have now will keep on loving you and supporting you in everything you do. So no fear and keep fighting for your dreams
JYJ fighting!!!
JUNSU AH,
even when i have a grandchild in my arms, I’ll still follow you. I’ll still go to your concerts, I’ll still watch your dramas, your musicals, I’ll still listen to the songs you write !!!!!!!!!!!
We will listen to the JYJ’s story forever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello to all,
I’m a kdrama addict who got introduced to kpop curtesy of SungKyungKwan Scandal. So it’s safe to say I was a Lee Soon Jun (Yuchun’s character in the drama) fan first and foremost prior to my introduction to JYJ. Since hearing their OST contribution, my curiosity got the better of me. I followed and read old news, videos, clippings and all things JYJ related and the original DBSK. At first, though I was totally impressed with their talents ( all 5), I was skeptical with the whole lawsuit thing. I thought to myself it is a shame the 3 decided to call it quits at the height of their popularity, seeing that amongst the 5, JJ, JS and YC were the strongest – talent-wise. I am not saying the other 2 don’t have it but in a band there will always be the strongest and the weakest if you care enough to dissect and analyze them individually. Still, no matter how impressive these 3 were, I have my reservation because of the “lawsuit”. I was wondering, why they did it. What is to gain? So being an avid drama freak, I followed their story like a real drama from soompi, allkpop to all DBSK related site JYJ blogsite. I never thought I will be affected so much with their story. I’ve read enough, I think to be able to tell what is right and wrong. Even these are only articles written by journalist..it is still base on facts. So it pains me to reads how these 3 were treated since the release of their albums. I can’t understand the blind trust the rabid anti-fans had taken in bashing these 3 talented artist. I don’t know if they understand what they read at all, or if their brain processed all news related to them at all. Reading all the articles related to them had given me the answer to my question: What is there to gain from the lawsuit? I think JYJ wants to gain their “FREEDOM” and “HUMANE RIGHTS”
Reading Yuchun and Junsu’s traslated their room lyrics/words/essays – my impression – so darn brave and they triple folds my admiration to them. For fighting in what they believe is just and right. You guys just earn here another ajumma admirer and a die hard fan. Not just for your amazing talents but for your amazing courage and determination to live life to the fullest. This lyrics/notes/words would surely create a wave of responses both negative and positive in the days to come. Don’t worry boys you are on the right track. With all my years of watching kdramas, there is one line that comes to mind: THE NIGHT IS AT IT DARKEST RIGHT BEFORE THE DAWN. To the boys and the JYJ fan…. DAWN IS BREAKING … SOON.
sorry for this long rambling…its my first so 🙂
lol welcome to the club, you have come to the right place. I did the same thing like you did like a month ago too. That’s why I missed their LA showcase.
I know right. Even any person can read and understand what right and wrong is. But haters are so unreasonable. Why do they always try to twist the facts that are so obvious? I wonder in their lives, do they always live with hatreds? I don’t feel sympathy them coz I hate them for doing brainless things to our boys.
Welcome to the family. Sometimes, I do wonder about the anti’s mentality, it was like they were trapped in their own delusion, any sane person would know understand the truth. Now, we could only hope for the best to JYJ
Girl it’s okay. I ramble on here too.
WELCOMEEE MUAH.
WELCOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Since I’m a ‘newbie’ also, I say welcome too. 🙂
Commenting on the ‘blind’ feature of the antis/bashers, this thought comes to mind. The Internet with its anonymonity factor allows people to say and do things they wouldn’t dare to face to face. They have this ‘false’ courage. Bullies are actually cowards, but operate in settings they think they can control.They ‘woof’ bad, and others are impressed.
BIG HUGE SURPRISE for bullies – THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE OUT THERE BIGGER AND BADDER THAN YOU ARE!!! DON’T FORGET THAT!
With regard to their mindsets – IMHO, I don’t think they have FREE mindsets to begin with. If you can’t detect reason and logic when you see it, your mind will always be a prisoner.
Hello,
This is my first time here and the very first blogsite I’ve responded to. First of all ditto to nikkyp28. I am too a kdrama addict that got introduced to JYJ through their SSKS OST…watched their old DBSK youtube videos etc…I was entertained by the way the 5 interact, their bantering, their music and felt regretful for them when they disbanded. It also aroused my curiousity and started reading from different blogsites and checking you tube. Realizing how hard they trained for their shows, realizing how talented they are and their perseverence to courageusly fight for their rights earned my respect and admiration. Their struggle w/ SM reminds me of the Catholic bible story David and Goliath. JYJ you just earned another ajjuma fan.
Welcome to club! wow… we have alot suporter now!!love!
I love ahjumma fans. And our big family too. You guys rock!
Reading this i feel so sad…
I’m glad JYJ has now been free from the delusions they had all their lives…
Kudos JYJ~!
We’ll be there, always and forever for you~jaejung,yoochun&junsu fighting!!

Junsu, youre heart is so pure how could I not trust in you? After all you’ve been through, I’m happy that you were able to find a better family and continue your dream. With voices like that, and hearts like those,no matter who tries to tear you down they will never succeed. You three are SO gifted, God will continue to clear a path for JYJ 🙂
pure hearted junsu, unselfish and caring jaejoong, crybaby yoochun…I will believe in you forever because just like a wise person said before…a singer will never betray their fans!!! and i believe in that whole heartitly because putting myself in your shoes i wounldn’t either ❤
I will listen your story forever!!FIGHTING JYJ!
I wish I could say out loud all I have in my mind, but my English is soooo poor. Sorry!
I resisted until now before I say my opinion, but that’s enough!
Every day I’m shocked and angry for the incredible evil unleashed against 3 guys that are only guilty of wanting to show their talents and abilities without having to obey to the orders, the pressures and the arrogance of a slave company.
I can’t believe that there is still someone who can justify all this, despite the abundance of information on living conditions faced by these young idols.
I can’t believe the antis exist. What are antis? Can’t they only listen and speak of the people they admire? Why bashing other people they don’t like and don’t understand? That’s unbelievable. Haven’t they a life?
They speak of petty selfishness and greed.
It’s a selfish person someone who wishes to live a life with almost human rhythm?
It’s an ungrateful and greedy person someone who wants to be paid the fair for the job he makes and for the benefit that the company takes from his work?
The concept of the music industry like a “big family” makes me smile. I don’t think a family is ready to overwork a member for 51 weeks a year, regardless of his health and his mental well-being.
SME is not a family: it’s a big business to make money, organized as a sect, so that its members are persuaded to justify any action as done for the good of the affiliates and not for the benefit of society itself.
I’m an ajumma (over 40) and they can’t convince me that the meal, lodging and clothing supplied to members of a boyband are adequate salaries to repay them for all the sacrifices and the work required and an appropriate percentage of the proceeds of the record label.
In Italy there are singers of dubious value much better rewarded for their job.
There are singers who make their living from the royalties of a hit of 30 years ago …
And then we can see these three artists that write songs, record them, that make concerts always sold out, that reach the top of the charts every year, and they can have only a tiny fraction of all the turnover they have created!
I can understand that for SME to lose their the goose that lays the golden eggs is a drama, but they can’t continue to badmouthing and to savage without anyone to defend those who are “guilty” of turning their backs on a slave system. That’s almost laughable if it wasn’t tragic for our JYJ,
It is not justifiable that the Korean entertainment, economic and political system has not yet put an end to an affair that threatens to tarnish the view of thousands of foreigners.
The SME work system is worthy of a dictatorship of the lowest category.
I look forward to a strong stance against the whole thing from major figures. The efforts of the fans to prevent the cover up of the case and to spread the truth are admirable, but still sadly inadequate to restore the rightful place JYJ belong.
Still… JYJ fighting!
A+++, with me ,sometime can not belive still have evil system like that without justic, in my coutry i live right now, the top star like JYJ should be muti-milioner not only milioner…even I don’t know alot about law but I can 100% sure they will win…just just speedess!!
All is not lost, their past ‘hardship’ has built them to be what they are now as JYJ that is STRONG and BRAVE!
We should rejoice and embark on this new journey with them – a journey I know will not be short of ‘wondrous’.
