REVIEW
Music critic for V-chart of China YinYueTai: BaoBao（爆爆）, the Executive Chief Editor of the South Korea Division of Cool Music (Cool轻音乐), a famous Chinese magazine for K-pop & J-pop:
What was the Kim Jae Joong You’ve liked? A caring and sweet obba? A representative of flower pretty boys? Or the Hallyu star with ever progressing singing and acting skills? Each facet of Kim Jae Joong is in itself enough to turn you into his loyal fans. Yet, is the Kim Jae Joong who is now on the rocker track gonna make you as loyal as you’ve been? It’s an easy answer. You can see the answers to all the above questions from those who have always been supporting Kim JaeJoong as you see the title song of his first album , ‘Just Another Girl’ rose to number one in this month. The present Kim JaeJoong has more refined muscles and the complexion as polished by the passage of time. He’s not being as cautious as before to keep his image as an idol. He can hold a cigarette, release his mask, fling his hair and care less about from what angle he is photographed. With his music, he has entered the realm where his soul and body become one. And for us, we get a little closer to the real Kim JaeJoong. His identity as a rocker pulls us closer to him and makes us love him more.

Yeah, he did things an idol would never dreamed of doing. And I’m proud of him for that. Jaejoong is ❤ ❤ ❤
Congratulation~!
Oh My God, that statement truly rings all the sentiment felt by all JJ’s fans !! Couldn’t find a better words to describe it. Well, the writer is not an Executive Chief Editor for nothing!
How I wish Cjes would employ someone of this caliber to maintain their PR and media relation works instead of those amateurish staffs they’re employing now.
he doesn’t get scared of trying something new, rock is a genre lots of idols/artists don’t try because usually it doesn’t get much attention and ppl in korea in general unfortunately don’t favorite it but that didn’t stop him from trying instead he created a name for himself as a rock artiste shedding the idol image and breaking down the prejudices people had on him i’m really proud of him^^
“With his music, he has entered the realm where his soul and body become one. ”
“And for us, we get a little closer to the real Kim JaeJoong. His identity as a rocker pulls us closer to him and makes us love him more.”
SO TRUE!
Sometimes I ask myself, what is it that made me even notice this guy named Kim Jae Joong who lives half a world away and whom I’ll probably never even see in my life, is it that I admire him, that I am proud of him, that I am in awe of his beauty of both body and soul. I think it’s all that and a lot more that I cannot express. One thing, however, I do know for sure is that until recently I wanted to hold his hand, look into his beautiful but vulnerable eyes and reassure him “you will make it; one day, you will reach there”. But now I see a strong man who HAS made it, who has reached” and I am so proud of his tenacity in his humility and the fact that he knows he now stands strong and still so lovable.
Congratz Jaejoong!! Love u always.
Excellent statement, everything said is so true.
