- Met #Jaejoong! Oh my Jae 💚😊💚 Link
#JaejoongInManila
My little account! I needed time to process because JJ was/is a Visual Shock!
Groups went 5 at a time (my Sami just ahead of me).
Turned the corner & he’s there GLOWING! Breathe!!!
- JJ said he’s happy to be back in the Ph! He thinks JaeFans in the Ph are energetic and young 😜
#JaejoonginManila #Jaejoong is the best! 💚😊💚 - JJ thinks Filipinos are great singers (that’s true LOL). Hes ready to play. Picking selfie pics frm #JaeFans then answering questions in the back.
#JaejoonginManila #Jaejoong is the best! 💚😊💚 - JJ was very careful in selecting the photos and chose a couple ‘children’ pics. The questions were serious & appropriate. His fave pet he’s owned so far is JiJi (but took a long time to answer). He said he likes cats more than dogs.
#JaejoonginManila #Jaejoong is the best! 💚😊💚
- JJ is adamant & serious that he doesn’t want to go back to the past. #NowIsGood. He’s happy now. If he had to go back, it’s only for maybe 1 month ago. But past is past he said! Well said Jaejoongah! 👌
#JaejoonginManila #Jaejoong is the best! 💚😊💚 - His inspiration? Books, Movies, His experience in the past. Because he has great disappointment & hardships in the past. He learned from that!!!
Great questions really…He was touched & happy. - Playing charades…Selected fans (selected by MC) were #1 Wearing red pajamas (but She added the girl in the red nightie because she tried hard LOL #2 animal outfit.
- Lucky fan to win the charade game. JJ didn’t know where to look. Such a gentleman, he took off his shirt so the girl will be comfortable (or for his comfort LOL) 🤣 Love him!
#JaejoonginManila #Jaejoong is the best! 💚😊💚
- Tasting exotic foods & choosing which food goes well with San Miguel Beer (we know he likes that beer). If there’s a “Yes” under the plate, JJ does a punishment!
#JaejoonginManila #Jaejoong is the best! 💚😊💚

By @rubypurple_fan:
- Seriously, JJ is a really nice person. He will look you straight in the eye and smile before signing. #JaejoongInManila

- Fansign blessing in disguised: Link
While going to his table, someone accidentally stepped on my slipper.
I almost tripped.
Feeling embarassed, I was looking down, laughing.Then while signing, he asked me:
“Are you okay?”
“Yes I’m okay”
We’re both laughing.

Thank you for this compilation tweet.
It’s so nice to see English is spoken a lot in the fanmeeting.
I should’ve come to Manila instead of Bangkok.
Nevermind, what’s done is done.
Just a lesson for next time.
I enjoyed reading these account I can’t imagine how it feels for people who own them, Jaejoong is the greatest artist I’ve ever knew in this world I’m so happy and proud to be his fan ❤
Thank you Mia so much for this compilation
Such a sweetheart uri One & Only ❤ Making me a more proud JAEFAN each passing day!!
He really is a gentleman, lucky girl she got to wear his outer shirt, ahhhh to die for ….
Thanks a lot Mia for this compilation, it happened so fast, it feels like it’s dream, a very beautiful dream that you never want to wake up but when it’s encore time you’d wish there was a rewind button. 😢.
I read a lot of comments “Jaejoong singing live is way better than the studio version” , #JAEJOONGINMANILA was only my second time hearing him live and that’s exactly how I felt, his voice and his ability to tell the story through his songs was OVERWHELMING that I wanted to freeze 🎶, I was like being hypnotized. 😮🤗😍
I’m happy for you @kris,you were there 🙂 what an amazing and magical night..looking at all videos i see all those wide smile and laughing Jaejoong had..i felt proud being his fan and Jaejoong to feels the Filipino love 🙂 ❤
@Karenina
When the ticketing of this FM opened, I was hesitant to book a ticket, I said I prefer a concert but my first daughter said, “You already saw him in a concert, FM is different, it’s like an immersion of the artist to the fans’ world” , she’s right, the fanmeeting segment was so fun and endearing, makes you love JJ more and more, he so quick to learn a lot of Filipino phrases 😍 and fans lost count of JJ speaking English, YES, from FM to the mini-concert😃 . What’s more inspiring is he said not just once that he’ll be coming back 🤗😂
You have your daughter to thanks for in changing your mind, she’s sooo right 😀 with all his cuteness,handsomeness, warmth shining
( such a regret that my dreamworld and reality wouldn’t synchronized in order for me to be there, him saying he’ll come back makes my heart happy) Have you notice since his discharge from ms, he’s doing all those things/activities that we ask and wish from him, so were keeping it to our heart when he said he’ll be coming back 😀 ❤
So glad to hear him speak English..his voice is sexy too, JJ is a fast learner, good diction on Tagalog words..btw i like the mc a fangirl too, 🙂
And also the male translator, you’ll fall in love to his voice, thanks to this 2, what’s language barrier …
Could you have ever imagined you would see Jaejoong TWICE in one year? I’m so happy for you! Although a bit envious also! Next year in America!
YES @Georgia , feel so blessed 🤗
Wonderful account! I love how JJ is always so genuine and friendly when meeting fans; just a lovely human being ❤
Thanks a lot Mia for this compilation of the experiences and feelings of so many eye witnesses sharing a minute with Kim Jaejoong. They all confirm that we chose the right person whose life journey we made part of our own life journey – to share and support each other, to love and as an inspiration. But I was happiest with that account from the California fan – JJ led a whole conversation with her in English, so he has continued learning English and overcome his shyness to speak it – which I hope is a good indication thhat he might be preparing to cross the ocean and have a fanmeet, if not a concert on other continents..
That’s me, the California fan LOL. I thank JYJ3 for sharing as well.
Our convo (of course in English) was actually a little longer. I meant he spoke more to ME! I was in total shock that I totally forgot these parts:
When I got in front of him, I said “Hello Jaejoong.” He said “Hello” (with the hugest smile) and I said “I’m so happy to meet you” and he said “I’m happy to meet you too!” He started signing Then I said that info about coming from America to see him and pointing out my daughter who just received his sign.
He actually stopped what he was doing asking (again HUGE eyes) “Where?” Like he couldn’t believe that I would have a grown up (she’s 20) daughter! He kept looking at her and at me saying “Really?” And I said “Really!” And he said it again “Really?” He actually stood up to look at my daughter (who was walking away…I should have called her back LOL).
Later on in the FM, he kept saying that the fans look young and that he’s the one who changed and got older LOL. He said the fans all look like we’re all in our twenties! Hahaha
He’s being sweet because I certainly don’t look like I’m in my 20s!
Such a wonderful experience… So great to meet @kris as well (and her lovely daughter).
My daughter is now a bonafide JaeFan! Got7 who? BTS who? Hahaha. I posted (on Twitter) a little of her fansigning account as well. She asked him to come to America too. He said “Ok I will. I promise.”
I really hope he comes to California so we don’t have to travel across the world just to see him!
@Te4jyj
Our best achievement as a mom_fan is bringing our daughters to JJ’s event and made them a fan 👍👍😃
That’s true sis! Sami was already a fan but she’s a certified JaeFan now hahaha!
That’s why JJ was encouraging her fans to get married and have kids, increase the fandom 🤣
@anna liza p m Do you live in the USA?
@ Te4jyj No, currently I live and work in Kenya, East Africa but I am from Europe, so for me it’s easiest to go to Europe as I have familly and friends scattered on that small continent. I only went to East Coast (Boston and New York) last June/July for the first time and we arranged to meet with one of our sisters – jjeyelash in NY. Haven’t been to the West Coast yet.
I am so happy for you that you had the opportunity to experience the presence of this extraordinary man together with your daughter.
He is an excellent role model for her. I regret now I didn’t come to Manila. I had decided against a fan meeting because I thought that I would miss on all the fun when everybody is laughing and cheering and I would just sit there and feel stupid. I think this is the first time in Asia that there was English translation but I had not realized that beforehand..
I expect there will be lots of concerts next year with the release of two allbums and I will definitely go to at least one of them. I only wish he could release his schedules early enough so I can organize nyself because the nature of my work makes it hard to just get up and go, though technically on my EU passport I can travel to most countries on very short notice.
@anna liza p m
I was born in the Philippines but I’ve been here in the USA since I was a young teenager. I do not speak and understand very little Tagalog or Filipino language. My daughter has zero knowledge of Filipino language as well. But I do know that Filipinos speak English almost all the time and everywhere. Even my daughter was able to understand fairly well because Filipinos tend to speak in Taglish (Tagalog and English combined). There are so many Filipino dialects (with different islands and all) that it’s actually easier for people to communicate in English.
So I know, the Philippines is the best place for an IFan to attend a FM because English will be spoken for sure. Thus, I decided to go. Like you, I’d rather go to a concert because even tho I don’t understand what JJ is saying in between songs, his singing will overwhelm and totally worth it.
I think from now on, Jaejoong realized that Philippines is a great venue for him. He can reach lots of IFans (who do not understand other Asian languages) this way. And he was so comfortable and natural throwing a lot of English during the FM. Have to seen Good Morning Night videos?
So much fun!
@ te4jyj Thank you very much for all this information. I haven’t been to the Phillipines, so I wasn’t aware they speak English widely. The nearest I have been was last year when I went to Malaysia, KL and Borneo – Sabah from where we could see some of the Phillipines islands. It would be nearer for me to go there than to SK, Japan or the USA.
Yes, yes, I did watch. At first I wasn’t sure if I heard right – that our JJ was actually volunteering to say something in English. This is the best news I heard from you – to confirm he has overcome his barrier of speaking in English. He was also so magnanimous. Remember that song which a fan sang and he was dancing to. All the time he pretended he didn’t know who was singing till at the end he turned full face to her and made that big heart. She went into a shock. Now, imagine if he had looked at her and made that heart at the very beginning – I am sure she would have lost her voice but he knew what would happen so he didn’t.
Also, he kept on praising Phillipino girls that they sing so well, well even to my ears at times they were so out of tune, I can imagine to his sensitive to muusic ears how it sounded but he had that big happy smile on his face, encouraging and praising their singing.
Yes, he is one special guy.
I’m so happy for you and @Kris to be there and what’s more amazing is to have your daughters with you the joy is doubled ❤
@Te4jyj Wow! and wow again. You were truly so fortunate to have such a long convo with the one and only and you are twice lucky to have a daughter with whom you can share the music and charm of a truly inspirational person. I am still very surprised that he opened up to speak in English. He must have been working on it and once JJ decides to do something he does it to perfection. I remember in the early DBSQ days he was once asked which his hardest subject was and he said “English”.
If he does come to the USA, he will probably go to the West Coast, so you will be lucky. It took me 19 hours air time to Boston, I wonder how many extra hours to California but this is something I am willing to do so as to experience the wonder of JJ’s magnetism, unless he decides on a stop over somewhere in Europe.
Thnak you very much for sharing your happy moments with us. I feel him through you.
Goodness, thank you for your amazing fan account of Jae! I’m here across the states from you and I’m surprised you didn’t hear me shout a great loud…HWAITING for you! I can’t understand why this man is not a world wide sensation! But it’s not too late…..he could and should go global! Again congratulations on meeting him!
It’s wonderful that you and your daughter had a convo with Jaejoong and got posters signed! Thank you for sharing such an exciting experience!
I really hope that he goes to California too because I want to travel there and visit friends at the same time. Actually anywhere in the USA would be good because it’s easier to travel here than to another country.
I was there.. so lucky to see Jaejoong.. it’s really a once in a lifetime experience.. thank you so much for coming in my humble country… see you next time.. and hoping for a JYJ comeback….
thank you very very much Mia and JYJ3 team for all the Manila news/compilations. It’s just wonderful to know our JJ now speaks English well. He is a man of many many talents. So hardworking, so cute, so handsome, so lovable and adorable!
@anna liza p m
Actually, Jaejoong knew who was singing because he picked her out. She is Dhang from @JYJ_Ph. We were all first row waving green lightsticks!
The ‘punishment’ (Jae blindly picked from a bowl full of Fans’ suggestions) was for JJ to dance to Versace on The Floor. There was no music available so he all fans tried to sing for him but was a little chaotic due to people singing different verses LOL… So the Mc & JJ asked one person to sing and he came forward and picked Dhang from the front row. Our row especially went nuts! You don’t know the trouble these gals from JYJ_Ph went through in the OT5/YJ heavy country.
This is a full video https://youtu.be/YWAocJC7HDE
i want to sing ‘Its all coming back to me now’ haha! i was in a trance the whole time so all my shots and vids of him were all unfocused arrrgh! ^^ Everything was amazing and wonderful until i heard some fans weren’t able to see jae and get his sign on the FS event bec apparently, some people who weren’t picked where able to queue and got his sign so they were cut from the event.. i hope it’s not true bec everybody was so excited to see him, and to be cut like that, its heartbreaking.. all in all, the FM was my early xmas gift to myself.. i fell for jae even more.. ^^ thanks for the compilation admin..
