The fans of group JYJ’s Jaejoong (Real name Kim Jaejoong) has donated 6.56 tons of rice in order to help the less fortunate. This is the highest figure recorded in history.
According to the brand Dreamie, which is the representative brand of rice wreaths, the fans sent in wreaths totaling 6.65 tons. The affiliate said: “Kim Jaejoong’s rice wreaths recorded the highest figure in history.”
In the production presentation ceremony of the new Wednesday-Thursday drama Protect the Boss that was held on the 27th in SBS Drama Center of Mokdong, Seoul, the rice wreath dreamies which declared support for JYJ’s Jaejoong were delivered. The dreamies celebrate with rice the occasion and will be used to help the less fortunate. The dreamies came with warm words which read: “This dreamie is planned to be donated to the starving children and child bread-earners and such among us less fortunate, in the name of the actor. The 6.56 tons of rice is an amount which allows a meal for 54,448 children. It is an amount that can feed 605 people for one month.”
It became known that not merely the fans of Korea but also Japan, Southeast Asia, Spain, Peru, and such other places also participated. The rice which were stacked neatly and filled the space and also many banners which decorated the location made it possible for one to feel the passion of the fans in one glance.
The rice dreamie wreathes which were delivered starting in the early morning totaled to be 80—there were two which were 1 ton each, and five which were 500 kgs each, and such. The 80 wreaths completely filled the hall of the 13th floor. The dreamie wreaths were enough to put the onlookers in shock.
At the same time, Jaejoong will transform into the Prince of the Financial World by taking on the role of Cha Muwon in the new Wednesday-Thursday drama Protect the Boss that will air as a follow-up to City Hunter on August 3.

Me alegra que esta parte del planeta…en este lugar…hay fans de JYJ…
No estoy sola XDDDD
de donde eres? yo soy de cartagena 🙂
jaejoong deserve all the best. He love his fans and his fans love him with all their heart. ^^
jae’s fans just want to see jae smile, this is just the beginning, a lot of project is still on process ^__^
eummmm… i thot some people claimed JJ/JYJ was not popular ? ._. kekekeke~~
Highest number in history. That must have made a statement of support to Jaejoong like no other.
Remembering that Jaejoong was one of the people with no food as a trainee at SM, selling his blood and such to get money for food.
Hope that this put a smile on Jae’s face ^_^ Thats probably the most rewarding gift from him to his fans.
I’m so touched! Jaejoong is the best in every way.
this is so heart-warming! JYJ, and Jaejoong specifically here, deserve all the love and support they can get. No matter what other wicked companies have tried to hinder them, they will survive, just because they have such a large, powerful, and loyal fanbase. 🙂
I mean, there is a culture in the JYJ/JJ/YC/JS fandom of giving to those who are in need. Many times their fans donated to many causes, and the men themselves gave a lot of $$$$ to different causes. Thank you very much for such things.
Here it comes another event in which JYJ/JJ/YC/JS is proven to be very unpopular. I don’t know how these men survive w/ no one to support them and their work. LOL.
And by they way, just to be a little bitchy (even though I try really hard not to), so these young men gave about $600,000 to a cause, and then a person who makes over a $100 millions, gives back to the community a mere $100, 000. I will stop here. and let’s not mention names, but at the same time, we need to keep these things in the back of our minds.
JYJ Family, Bravo!! Jae Fans, Bravo! Keep support JYJ!!!
Love this. JYJ and fans hwaiting!!!
