Happy Birthday Yunho:  Another Year’s Promise Is Here

yunhoghanahope7 Another year has passed in the life of U-Know Yunho–leader-sshi extraordinaire, friend, dancer, singer, and actor. Who is this ball of energy who seems to have the ability to do such a variety of things, including reaching into his heart and his resources to meet the needs of others? Yunho, you personify fatherhood and young wisdom, yet you also exude a certain vulnerability and naive playfulness that suggests that you have found a way to relieve the pressures of your everyday existence. You have always been one to shoulder everyone’s burden, but what about your burdens?

Early on, as a member of DBSK, you were assigned the leadership role. I can imagine trying to supervise those four extremely energetic, independent doers and thinkers, namely, Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu, and Changmin, I believe that Jaejoong helped you a lot, as they all probably did–but it still remained your role to see to tasks being performed, and to coordinate between upper management and the members. This was not a comfortable place to be. Middle-management has its own set of problems, and you could get caught in between the two. Your loyalties have to lie with both, and the “buck’ definitely stops at your house often. It takes great courage and strength to live in this way, but you have consistently managed to do this.

It doesn’t matter how much we speculate–the only ones who truly know why DBSK split are the actual parties involved. The question is do we truly need to know? I believe that truth and revelation are healers. Each member was and still is affected, and what utter devastation was caused among the fandom. Yet, In some ways it has strengthened the fandom and revealed true loyalties. I also believe that this strengthened each member. Adversely, it has created a climate for fan wars that eventually will be revealed as evoking unnecessary casualties.  Over-all, everyone receives the love if they choose to embrace it. .

Yunho, you are a human being. You hurt like we all hurt. Yet, you tend to hide that hurt until you are alone. This makes it hard to know what your needs are. As a caring community of people, and disregarding diverse loyalties arising out of the split–you occupy a singular position. You also occupy a unique place in our hearts. There is no one like you. As this year progresses, and you achieve more things born out of your own inner drive and perfectionist personality–I believe that you will surpass your own expectations. You have greatness in you; we have seen it all along–and I am praying that you will someday emerge as a guiding influence on the world around you. Seek profound truths, and let yourself be guided by what is truth.

I want to congratulate you on the 10th anniversary, on ‘Somefhing’ and TENSE, and on all of the recent awards and achievements, whether in conjuncture with Changmin or singly. You will continue to grow, and more responsibility will fall upon your shoulders. You are fast approaching your 30’s, the start of the most potentially productive years of your life. Choose your projects wisely, esteem those who are worthy of your esteem, always keep the faith, and know that you are loved…

JYJ‘s Yoochun held a special new year’s fanmeeting for his Japanese fans!

His label said, “Yoochun had his ‘PARK YOOCHUN 2014 HAPPY NEW YEAR FANMEETING IN SEOUL‘ today afternoon at Gangnam’s The-K Seoul hotel. 1,000 Japanese fans came to Korea for a special New Year’s fanmeeting with Yoochun, and he gave them an unforgettable 200 minutes.“

Yoochun started the fanmeeting with Kim Dong Ryul‘s “Aged Song“. He had a cake cutting ceremony to celebrate 10 years since debut as well as his first fanmeeting of 2014. When his fans told him, “We always waited for you“, he answered, “I miss you, too“.

During the talk time, he said, “As I met you, I think I became optimistic and confident.” Since it was the year of the horse, he even gave a fan a picture of a horse he drew himself. He also introduced his Japanese fans to Korean traditional games, and also sang his self-composed song “Walking Spring With Her“.

The fanmeeting representative said, “The fans’ response to Yoochun’s New Year fanmeeting was amazing. It’s also unheard of that 1,000 people came to Korea just for a one-day event. After ‘Rooftop Prince‘ was aired in Japan, he couldn’t go to Japan because of his movie and drama, and that’s why he prepared this fanmeeting. That’s why the response was even hotter.“
