Editors Note: A Year Has Passed Since The Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami

Japan’s earthquake and tsunami that rocked the world in 2011 doesn’t seem a full year ago does it? The tsunami still seems close because there are so many reminders around that it actually occurred. There are nuclear summit talks, charity events for victims, and rebuilding of stricken areas as an ongoing project. The tsunami will figure forever in the saga of JYJ’s struggle to stay above the water and to conquer the water through 2011. Not only did the tsunami aftermath effects bow to the concerted efforts of people around the world–but the industry that has tried and is still trying to drag JYJ down has had to bow to the ultimate realization that they are survivors. This is partly due to the utter talent and tenacity of JYJ, and the ingenuity and tenacity of JYJ’s true fans.

It is so easy to sing and dance along with a thriving group like TVXQ was before 2010. It takes more courage to survive a splintered group situation with your heart and loyalties intact. I am happy and proud to say that not only have we survived, but there are those of us who have enough love, passion, and compassion in our hearts to still embrace all five of these truly special young men.

The tsunami taught the world how to give and pull together to rebuild and rethink a way of living. The split of TVXQ has prayerfully taught the world how to acknowledge, evaluate, and start to restructure the entertainment industry.

Dear Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu. Please do not ever regret doing what you felt was necessary for your own happiness but also for the happiness of others. Yunho and Changmin–do not ever regret doing what you considered to be the best for you. We may not ever fully understand what happened, but the important thing is to forge ahead and make a history that may someday converge onto a path that includes all five once again. Until then, and because there is a hope of then, we keep Fighting and Keeping the Faith!!

[Trans] 120309 JYJ Expressed Their Stance And Apologizes For The Sasaeng Incident‏

JYJ who have been under controversy with regards to sasaeng incidents recently, expressed their formal stance on the issue.

On the 8th of March 6pm (local time) at the press conference in Chile, Park Yoochun expressed, “Since the debut in 2004, though we have been loved by many, this past 8 years have been as though in a turmoil.”

“The stalking situations have been getting worse. Due to those fans who have been showing excessive concerns, it have made our lives as though we are living in a prison without bars. Though we wish to escape, trying to struggle away, yet we are still being trapped in such a space and end up in great mental suffering,” expressing his mental burden on the sasaeng incidents for this period of time.

Kim Junsu expressed, “Though such behaviors has been a bit absurd, I felt that this is a pain artistes should handle and thus been enduring it. But sasaengs have been chasing us by cars, or not frequently trespassing into (houses). In serious situations, it had even caused car accidents before. These behaviour under the name of love are what have been making us to live in indescribable pain.”

Lastly, Kim Jaejoong also expressed his self-reflection towards his own behaviour, “I would like to express apologies towards what we should not have done and very sorry for causing other fans to be sad and hurt. In the future, I will bear in mind the responsibility of being a public figure and to do my very best on stage for those who cherished us no matter when.”

[News] 111226 JYJ Gives Their CEO A $300,000 USD Luxury Sedan

[News] 111226 JYJ Gives Their CEO a $300,000 USD Luxury Sedan

 JYJ has expressed their gratitude for their C-JeS Entertainment CEO Baek Chang Joo in the form of a hefty gift!

On December 26th, an industry insider revealed that the trio had presented the CEO with a foreign luxury sedan estimated to be worth over $300,000 USD.

A representative of JYJ revealed, “Last weekend, we held our year-end party. After finishing the meal, we went out to discover a luxury sedan parked outside. The members wanted to show their gratitude for his support by coming together and pooling money for a new car.”

JYJ’s decision to buy him a car came from the fact that the CEO did not yet have his own personal car. Seeing him work so hard for them without something to call his own had hurt the boys’ hearts.

The representative continued, “JYJ and CEO Baek have known each other for two years, and they’ve been like brothers ever since. I believe it was a present to commemorate the success of their world tour, as well as a celebration of Christmas and the New Year. Aside from the fact that it is an expensive present, their hearts are truly in this gift.”
