[Trans] 110617 Sohn Ji Chang Deletes His Twitter Account, “I’m Blindly Taking SM’s Side?”

Sohn Ji Chang, who pointed out that a portion of the press is looking at the K-POP craze in Europe in a skewed view, has revealed that he will be deleting his Twitter account.

On the 17th, Sohn Ji Chang wrote a long tweet that read, “I think today was a really long day. I didn’t know that my tweets would make that great of an impact… I was surprised once more when I realized that my opinion could be distorted to such a degree by watching certain fans do nothing but criticize me, saying that I’m blindly taking SM’s side.”

He continued to say, “I realized once more that it’s hard for a person to express his thoughts in words. If my words hurt JYJ fans, I sincerely apologize though that wasn’t my intention. But I know that I’m not the only person who missed the five-member TVXQ as I watched that concert.“

Sohn Ji Chang also explained, “If even that is so wrong of me to think, then I really have nothing else to say. And I believe that those who read my words properly will understand what I meant when I wrote about the French press. I wasn’t saying that they were completely at fault, I was trying to talk about Korea’s press that used parts of the French press’ articles to write tasteless articles.“

He ended with, “I’m planning to delete my Twitter account. Though I was only here for a short amount of time, I won’t forget those who communicated with me and supported me. Thank you for making great memories with me. I pray that you will always be healthy and happy.”

Seeing this, netizens left comments such as, “I didn’t think you’d have to leave because of attacks from stupid fans.. It baffles and disappoints me”, “This must be why the online world is such a scary place. Because some get hurt and decide to kill themselves,” and “I hope your trip to Europe doesn’t become a bad memory for you.”

On the 15th, Sohn Ji Chang pointed out the distorted views on the K-POP wave of certain press mediums when he said, “During my trip to Europe, I went to the SM Town concert in Paris. Most of the people there were foreigners, most probably from Europe, and had memorized and were singing along to the Korean lyrics. The venue was really alive with the energy and passion. So I’m baffled by the skewed articles, such as the one from Le Monde. Why can’t they see the concert for what it truly was?“
