If their friendship is only “business” or just at “face value” then I’d worry. Fortunately, that is not the case. Their friendship is bonded at the heart so that no matter how long distanced they may be or no matter how different their entertaining agencies maybe, they shall be forever pulled together by the strings that attach their hearts together. You should believe that. JYJ can’t put their future on hold until SME decides to accomade them or HoMin decides to join them(Lets face facts, these MAY never happen). They can only move forward. So true fans who enjoy their music/passion and wants them to be happy will suport them when they move forward. You should be able to support them as a true fan for their happiness (which we claim is also our happiness), for both JYJ & HoMin.

I’m just glad to know that we have same thought. I mean, YES!! the one they can do for now is just MOVING FORWARD. They have such enormous capabilities for just wait to SM to ‘let’ HoMin to join them. JYJ HWAITIIING!! HoMin HWAITIIING!!

@momo: don’t worry, I have a bittersweet feeling as well since I know that the bigger and more successful JYJ get, the less chances of DBSK getting back together again…..with time comes indifference….people are going to get more and more satisfied with them being separated since JYJ are doing so well on their own anyways and I’ve already seen many people not minding at all anymore. I’m a DBSK as 5 fan so I definately know how you feel…I’m happy for JYJ as individuals, and this is definately good news for them, but not good news for DBSK as a whole.
By: sheilapiglet on September 7, 2010

Sorry, but this is kinda near-sighted. It’s not like SM doesn’t have grand plans for Homin- you could tell from things Yunho and Changmin have been saying in the interviews that they will be going global.
Of course we don’t know if the plans will succeed, just like we don’t know if JYJ’s plans will succeed- but how do you know if it’s not gonna be Homin that becomes “too successful” for DBSK to get back together?
Bottom line is, none of the boy can afford the time to stall and not advancing. The entertainment world is too competitive with fresh new comers working hard to replace you. Both Yunho and Changmin have shown firm determination to ‘look only forward’, ‘act rather than talk’, ‘have no regret’. Just because they are announcing their next big moves a bit later than Junsu, Jaejoong and Yoochun, doesn’t mean they don’t have plans and will to further advance- at light speed.
The obstacle to DBSK/THSK reunion should never be because one or more of the members are “to successful” for the others- sorry to say but if one member’s “higher success” is going to make him or the others not wanting/able to work together, then they do not deserve to be togher.

Truer words were never spoken. (applauds)
In addition to ‘not stalling’…there’s 2 years of National Service awaiting ALL 5 boyz.
Sadly….this usually signals the end of Korean ‘idols’ careers. (In my heart I believe that they’ll have enough fan-power that they can overcome this) but still……the clock is ticking and not anyone of them should lose the opportunity to explore their creative limits.

I was never talking about them not advancing or growing cuz I’m sure they will….lawsuit or no lawsuit……am simply pointing out the fact that JYJ’s success as A NEW/SEPARATE GROUP will hinder DBSK getting back together again…not their individual careers or individual popularity levels….also, the passion the fans once had to fight for DBSK as a whole will definately become less as their passion for them as a trio or a duo soars. I never said that Homin won’t end up becoming as successful as JCS either….am talking about the present.

By: Momo on September 7, 2010

in a way i agree with you
for any of the members to move forward and build a name for themselves as individuals it has to come at the cost of dbsk. For them to succeed in their new ventures they need a clean start and new image that’ll not hold them to the past coz holding onto dbsk will become a hindrance to their success which quite frankly is the painful truth. For how long will fans wait for dbsk 2 come back together and still support them, howz the media gonna treat them will they always compare them to what was
they seem serious about their long term future which means they need to slowly move away from the dbsk image. For exapmle, when beyoncee needed to advance her career and be where she is right now it came at the cost of destiny’s child.
the success of the five members will come at the cost of dbsk but it doesn’t mean they can’t collaborate in the future.

That’s not necessary true. In the entertainment business, talent =/=> success. No matter which step they are taking, it’s a huge risk. Things might turn upside down just because one mistake and sadly they might become nobody in the entertainment business within just a few years.
I know that the bigger and more successful JYJ get, the less chances of DBSK getting back together again….
I am old enough to see other band faded like that and also band that seperate success as an incomplete group + solo doesn’t really affect the comeback. Comeback together solely depends on the decision of each member whether they would comeback together as five. Even if JYJ overshadow DBSK name…it doesn’t mean they cannot comeback together if all 5 of them want.
And…it doesn’t depend on fans’ opinion neither.
By the time, they would be mature enough and couldn’t be careless about the reaction from other people if they want to sing together as 5 again.
By: reallaerreal on September 7, 2010
at 12:05 pm
@reallaerreal: trust me, talent isn’t the only thing they have…they have the complete package….plus they have a large loyal fanbase already that are willing to follow them for years and years to come.
You really think that JCS bonding over time as a 3 member group and Homin focusing on their solo careers will end up with them reuniting as equals again?…will their teamwork and friendship level with one another be the same?….I don’t think so…Even if they do get back together in the future, the main focus and fan support will be more so for JCS like they are now cuz they got to stay together and attract a new GROUP fanbase….the popularity level, individual closeness of the members, etc will no longer be the same.
I’m talking about a comeback of how DBSK use to be, which is the perfect group….not just a come back itself.
let’s face it…I’ve never seen a group go their separate ways and then make a comeback that lasted or was as good as they originally were in the past.
By: sheilapiglet on September 7, 2010
at 10:16 pm
the chance of DBSK getting back together again doesn’t rely solely on the success of JYJ. It’s the will power of the 5 to be together that will conquer the obstacles that prevent from being together. ‘cos it’s rediculous to think that if JYJ fail to make a success on their own, they will crawl back to SME, if the only way to be together is to go back to SME. If the way to be together can be done outside SME, I can’t see why JYJ success will prevent that to happen..
So if they don’t want to be together, the chance will be none XD

@coffee mo: definately not soley, but definately partially….I don’t think their failure or success will lead them back to SM…lol…let’s face it, I think that relationship has been severed a long time ago….am merely stating the fact that this new JYJ group’s continuous success will continue to overshadow DBSK over time…..let’s not be in denial about this….people all around are already satisfied with just the 3 of them now…only a small minority truely care anymore about them getting back together again….they only care about them being “happy” even if it means separation for good…but to me, I think they’re happiest as 5 so the widening gap is definately not helping….do you really think it’ll be the same as it was before if they do get back together again?…JCS experiencing so much together as a new group compared to homin who have been focusing more on solo works?…..will the bond and teamwork really be like it was in the past?…I don’t think so.

@ sheilapiglet
>JCS experiencing so much together as a new group compared to homin who have been focusing more on solo works?…..will the bond and teamwork really >be like it was in the past?…I don’t think so.
Let me ask you this then: if Jaejoong, Junsu and Yoochun, who actually have significantly different styles and approches to music (think Intoxication, think Xiahtic, think Mozart, think Colors Melody & Harmony, think Kiss the Baby Sky, think My Girlfriend…), if these three boys who all have capabilities to create music of their own, that are so different from each other- what would happen after a few years of these three working SOLELY on solo projects?
They become three full grown solo artist, likely each reputable for a very different music genre & style, and have forgotten how to be just one part of a team.
I am not even talking about lack of intension to even *want* to be working in a team. For if there is a will, there is a way but if there is no will, there is no way ^^;;;
I said in other posts that I felt JYJ and Homin are both very different from DBSK/THSK and *yet*, they are both GREAT in their own way. Just like when each member is doing his solo work, he is not just a pitiful one fifth of something great, he is a 100% complete awesome individual – do not think that just because JYJ or Homin become good enough to be appreciated as a “unit”, that five of them cannot together form something *even more powerful*.
You keep wanting them to go back to the past, you said, “will the bond and teamwork really be like it was in the past?…I don’t think so.” Well, I too don’t think their bond and teamwork will be like it was in the past, because IT IS ALREADY DIFFERENT and there’s no going back. You cannot undo all the things that already have happened that have made them less carefree, less idealistic, less trusting- but more mature, more realistic, and more independent.
The bond and teamwork chemistry have ALREADY changed. But the change is in-progress, it’s still going on which means it can be changing FOR THE BETTER.
It can *evolve*.
To me there’s 0% chance of going back to the way things were, and there is a reasonably high enough chance of them NEVER coming back again BUT, there is also a very high chance of them not only reuniting, but reuniting with even STRONGER bond & synergy than ever before.
There will either be no more DBSK or a leveled up, *reborn* DBSK, but there will *absolutely* be no DBSK as we once knew- deep down, I am sure you know this too? Unless everyone’s memory for the past 14 months or so get wiped out by aliens or something = =;;

@Starfield: I think you’re only focusing on the extreme ends of the scale rather than where I’m coming from…..I never said that they should JUST do solo work….I just never liked the fact that they formed their own group that is separate from DBSK/Homin….making a name for themselves is great, but I wish they took into more consideration making a name for an entirely new group does have consequences in regards to DBSK coming back again….collaborating once in awhile as solo artists is fine and I’m sure their experience of teamwork for 6 years won’t diminish just like that….so far, the only major difference I see with JYJ and DBSK is that there are 3 members instead of 5….sure, they have a little more freedom and say probably in their works and so on, but was this really worth losing homin/DBSK over?
yes, if there is a will, I’m sure there is a way..it’s just how much you’re willing to sacrifice for it….JCS chose more freedom over the group…that’s a fact…..if the lawsuit never happened, then DBSK would presently be greater than ever.
you can’t undo the past, but there are choices they can make to better the chances for the future of DBSK’s comeback…and so far, all their choices are pointing more towards a betterment of JYJ as a new group.
I don’t see how being separated and experiencing how great it is to just have 3 members will better the bond they have as 5.
I’ve already come to accept that DBSK will never be the same again….but like I said already, it’s up to the members to make the right choices…..whether it be for themselves, or for the group as 5..Homin don’t have the freedom to choose, but JCS do…so i guess I expect more from them since they chose freedom over the group, I want them to use that freedom to their advantage in bringing back a better DBSK and not just a better JCS.
Of course this is just all my personal feelings and I, in no way, think that my opinion matters more than others.
By: sheilapiglet on September 8, 2010
at 8:39 am
@ sheilapiglet
Actually, my wording there were confusing- I did *not* mean to imply that since the three getting used to doing only solo will perhaps make it harder for them to get back to group mode, it’s thusly a bad idea and therefore they shouldn’t do that.
Because unlike you, I don’t think they are obligated to make potential DBSK reunion their top priority, and make all major decisions based on if it will or will not increase/decrease the chances of reunion.
They are adults, individuals, artists, HUMAN BEINGS first and foremost. They are NOT five pieces of components that make up DBSK. DBSK does not own them, *they* own DBSK – can you tell the difference?
I was just saying that be it trio or solo (or duet, or they becoming the lead singer of another group or whatever), if they want to reunite, then they will *if and when* circumstances allow them. If they don’t want to, well then they won’t even if they can. Simple as that.
And I suggest that you don’t paint yourself with a corner again criticizing actions of JYJ’s that just might be repeated by Homin in the near future. I happen to remember clearly that you voiced your displeasure over Chunjae singing Begin as a duo, and when the preliminary program list of SMT first came out and we saw Midoyo up there, you said Midoyo was the ONLY song that you are okay with just part of the members singing, THEN SMT took place and as we all know Homin did not sing this one song that you “approved of” them singing, instead they sang a medley of many DBSK songs but as expected, no complaint from you.
So, with the possible release of Homin duets in the near future- and who knows? If the duets are well received (they very likely *will be*!), the Homin unit may continue for good then what would you say?
That it’s not them, it’s all SM? Which leads us to…
>Homin don’t have the freedom to choose, but JCS do…so i guess I expect more from them since they chose freedom over the group, I want them to use that freedom to their advantage in bringing back a better DBSK and not just a >better JCS.
Homin had, and still *have* the freedom to choose whether they want to stay with SM.
Why should Chunjaesu sarcrifice/limit their development just because Homin FREELY chose to stay with a company that does not allow them any freedom?
>JCS chose more freedom over the group…that’s a fact…..if the lawsuit never >happened, then DBSK would presently be greater than ever.
And Homin chose… ‘what’ over the group?
Their loyalty to SM?
Or?
I won’t assume, coz unlike SOME FANS I am fully aware that I actually DO NOT know what their reasons, motivations, feelings were in relation to the lawsuit. It could have been a reason you agree with, or maybe it wasn’t. But by your logic Homin also “did not choose the group” over… over whatever it was- so why are you putting the blame solely on JCS?
By: Starfield on September 8, 2010
at 2:28 pm
@Starfield: Since they were the ones that decided to end the group, I think they are more obligated to reunite the group as well….more importantly, they’re the ones that keep saying to wait, to AKTF, etc…words need to be accompanied by action…..you can’t just say wait for all 5 and then not even give us enough to hold on to or make choices that say otherwise.
Yes, they are individuals first and foremost…so either choose one or the other (DBSK or a completely new path) then….but since they seem to have chosen both, then they need to live by that decision.
exactly….they can if they want to…the “if and can” has always been available to them since the beginning…but like I said, they chose freedom over the group…and there’s absolutely NOTHING wrong with that.
to me, whoever did it first has alot more impact and effect on me than if someone else were to follow suit….if they did it, why can’t the others right?….is that even fair?….of course 2 wrongs don’t make a right, but I always put more responsibility on the side that initiates.
I wasn’t so much against Jaechun singing Begin at the time, but only pointed it out when people were asking why Homin can sing DBSK songs and JCS can not…so I brought that up to show that Jaechun were actually the first ones to do it within the group.
really?…I remember clearly me stating that I didn’t feel comfortable that Homin sang DBSK songs and that I preferred them to have called themselves members of DBSK and not just DBSK….of course I go to several sites and not just this one, so I’m not even sure if I mentioned it here too, but still…you can’t judge me based on what you think I wrote on one site…*thud*
So far, Homin haven’t formed their own duet group, so I’m not even going to go there…cuz if we were to talk about possibilities, they are endless and we’d be here forever…..but like i said before, since JCS did it first, the impact of HM doing it is less…..I still wouldn’t agree with it tho and I really don’t think they’d do it….they’ll continue on as solo artists and maybe make collaborations from time to time under the name of DBSK maybe…but that’s the farthest I see it going…we’ll have to wait and see.
the ones that chose to leave and risk the group should take more responsibility in my opinion…HM chose to stay as DBSK…but like you said, no one really knows what’s going on…that’s why we share our thots on the matter and discuss…do our opinions really matter or change anything?….nope.
I’m not putting the blame solely on JCS…but like I said, whoever started it should do more to finish it/resolve it rather than the ones that chose to not get involved in this mess in the first place….I actually agree with JCS’s decision of leaving SM..lol….I’m all for it if HM were to do the same…all I’m saying is that since they made the choice to leave, then at least show us what they left for and make it worth it…cuz then what was the point right?…a reunion of DBSK isn’t just for the sake of a reunion..it’s for their happiness as well….cuz seriously, I don’t see them happier now than when they were all together as 5.

idk I don’t think it affects their chances of reuniting detrimentally. SM-JYJ are not on the best of terms but SM is a business and like any business, money and profit are their biggest concerns. If JYJ manage to become successful acts in their own right, there is a chance that one day they will be in a strong enough position to collaborate with HoMin, simply because it would be too potentially profitable for SM to say no.
On the other hand, even if SM refuses to budge and let them work with JYJ, there’s also the chance that the two of them might leave SM sometime in the far-off future. At that point in time, ALL their individual successes will help if they intend on getting back together. That’s the message I took away from W.

@mirin: unfortunately SM is RICH!….they have enough sucessful artists under them to do well in the future no matter what….if money and profit were their biggest concerns, the lawsuit wouldn’t have happened and they would’ve given JCS what they wanted…cuz we all know that DBSK is their biggest money making tree…everything they touch turns into gold.
I definately hope that Homin will leave SM and join JCS…I’ve wanted that since the beginning…totally agree that their INDIVIDUAL successes and growth will help DBSK if they were to reunite…but forming a new group and new bond as 3 isn’t going to help in my opinion.

SM isn’t as powerful as they used to
they’re still one of the biggest companies, but the entertainment industry is a bitch. yes, you’re popular today, but there’s no guarantee you’ll still be the next day
their newest acts don’t even do that well, with a lot of artists from different companies dominating the market
and sorry but i’ll never understand this “….but forming a new group and new bond as 3 isn’t going to help in my opinion.”
this just sounds so thoughtless to me :/

^^ being rich doesn’t mean they wouldn’t want to get richer. The one thing DBSK has that sets them apart from other Kpop groups is a strong Japanese fanbase, maybe SM thinks they can duplicate that success easily (since you know, they did it with BoA first) but idk I’m not sure they can unless they’re willing to strand yet another group in Japan for a long time. Also, Avex is a much much larger company than SM and look at the impact Toho has had on their finances.
So why would SM let the golden goose go? This is purely conjecture but I really do think that the lawsuit happened simply because SM didn’t think the three of them would actually go through with it instead of backing down. Basically, SM called their bluff … and they were either courageous or foolish enough to stick to their stand. Whatever it is, what’s done is done, the lines have been drawn. The only way they can get back together now is for JYJ to become so successful in their own right that SM will consider a DBSK revival.
I agree though that striking it out on their own would have been better … but it would have been much riskier and less profitable for AVEX to market them as individuals. Also, from what Jae and Chun have said in interviews, they don’t seem to be mentally ready or interested in going solo right now. I can’t blame them for sticking together simply because they can.
Sigh, I was expecting this to happen in the future since SM never manages to hold on to its artists (it’s telling that TRAX and Suju are the most senior groups left intact and both of them have lost members; CSJH is the other one and they’ve been left to languish). At some point, teen idols grow up and start wanting to be more and SM doesn’t seem to allow for that … but I never imagined that it would happen so soon (Changmin was effing 21 when the lawsuit started. 21!) and that only half the group would leave. DD; I guess for every Shinhwa there has to be a H.O.T. Kinda ironic really, in the end, DBSK did turn out to be a “2nd H.O.T” in all the ways that matter *bitter*

@…: If they aren’t powerful enough, they wouldn’t have bothered risking losing DBSK…I’m sure DBSK had many more years of domination left if the lawsuit never happened.
it sounds thotless if you’re not a DBSK biased fan like I am….to me, the 5 of them being together is the most important and their happiness as 5 is what matters most….and so far, I don’t see them being happier now than they were before when they were all still together.

@mirin: unfortunately, SM thinks that they’re rich enough to risk losing JCS…so I’m sure that they’re not worried about money…just look at the super expensive private plane they got for SM Town……I don’t think they’re naive enough to think that a group like DBSK comes more than once….sorry to HOT/GOD/Shinhwa fans, but we all know that none of those groups were ever as talented and considered the complete package as DBSK were….DBSK just has something special that causes fans from all over the globe to fall in love with them and stay addicted for a long, long time.
I actually think that SM already wanted a DBSK revival, but too little, too late…JCS refuses to work with SM again due to all the lies they sprouted about the 3…..so even if SM was willing to change the contract, I’m not sure JCS would be even willing to go back.
what makes me more bitter tho is that JCS CHOSE to “break apart” earlier than necessary and it wasn’t circumstances that lead to this like all the groups prior where their contracts ended naturally…..I wish that they had stuck together longer since they could, but I guess they just didn’t think it was worth it anymore….as to whether they regret it or not, who knows…but a part of me wishes they do and that they’d go back to being their happy, dorky fivesome.

@sheila: IKR. At one point, I was genuinely (and selfishly) angry at JYJ for choosing to sue and splitting them apart sooner instead of later. I mean who knows? Maybe 2-3 years down the road Ho and Min might have chosen to leave with them as well. But I’ve come to grips with that for the most part.
We’re all pining for a ‘return’ and a ‘revival’, but we actually really mean ‘the past’ which wasn’t as idyllic as we remember (boys on crutches, fainting after performances, being put on a drip backstage, the constant stream of airport pics, days when they seemed to be forcing smiles). And if back together means the five of them on the verge of collapse and those performances at the end of 2009 where they sounded so lovely but hardly resembled DBSK, I’d rather they stay apart and find their smiles.
And I can’t help being bitter about all the years they didn’t give us together, but I think I’m more grateful for the years of music and joy that they did give us together ;____; despite all the heartache, it’s better to have known them for a while than not at all, right?
By: mirin on September 8, 2010
at 12:52 pm
@mirin: I actually don’t see much difference now than they were in the past tho….the only difference between JYJ and DBSK is that there are 3 members instead of 5…..JS was put into the hospital during Mozart period and his voice gave it (never heard it give out that badly before when he was in DBSK)…also, he was put into hospital again in LA during their worldwide album work…..they’re still continuously flying here and there, etc…and to be honest, I don’t see them happier now than they were before when they were all together as 5…they’ve never shed so many tears either…..I also find their smiles faker now (especially for Homin).
apparently, they only seemed awkward onstage…but then they were spotted eating together right after that same peformance and still chatting like normal friends would….so who knows.
yep, I definately don’t regret getting into this fandom even tho I’ve nver felt so much pain before due to people that I don’t really even know….i think it was worth it despite what happened….DBSK has brought me so much joy and I’ll treasure them forever…it’s better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all in my opinion…will continue to hang on to the string of hope that they’ll be together again some day=)

I’ always try to support them as five members of TVXQ. I tell myself that they’re not together, but they’re friend forever and that’s enough.
Btw sometimes i want more than that. I wanna see them on the same stage. I miss my TVXQ so much. The truth is, deep down inside my heart, i’ve ur sentiment. I cant deny it.

^ although most of the Chinese Cassies can be biased towards Jae
but DBSK is big in China and also all of the members are popular
so don’t worry much about that.. they will do well
By: * on September 7, 2010
at 9:19 am
Lol, Jaejoong obviously xD He’s the most popular member in most countries! And then Yoochun I think? I don’t think Junsu is that popular, relatively, but I could be wrong.
I know they’re fond of DBSK though, so JYJ will get a warm welcome =D

it’s a compilation of yunjae moments in TVXQ’s concert in China..
I think the vid is made by heavenswine where the background song is Replay bu suju..
when it’s time for JaeHo’s duet in Love in the Ice part..

You’ll know soon. There hasn’t been an official count of their fans, so all answers are based on gut feelings. But soon, you’ll know who’s the most popular among JJY in china.

^ ikr.. just take for example baidu
it’s soooooo Jaejoong biased there and in most of their concerts
it seems that you’ve attended a Jaejoong concert instead of a DBSK one
By: * on September 7, 2010
at 9:57 am
i think they call Jaejoong “flower”(?) and Yunho “bean”(?)
By: kilbil on September 7, 2010
at 9:59 am
I understand Jaejoong being a flower but Yunho a bean? Yunho is a freaking big tree!!! ahahahhaha must have a reason if they called Yunho a bean, sound cute though… but still in my head Yunho is a freaking big tree!
By: tohoshikin on September 7, 2010
at 10:08 am
i heard that those nickname re based on a dish in China where “flower” and “bean” are indispensable ingredients
it mean they’re born for each other
By: kilbil on September 7, 2010
at 10:13 am
LOL. the comments are really cute <3
Okay, gimme a moment to explain. Jae is called 'huahua' which is flower, because they said that he is as pretty as a flower. Yunho's name is called 'doubao' which means 'red bean bun' because he used to have chubby cheeks and they said he looked like a bun. Hence, yunjae's couple name is 'dou hua'. And ''dou hua' actually means bean curd too, which is a dessert~ hope that I have made it clear enough kekeke.
By: Ohhho on September 7, 2010
at 12:52 pm
It used to be Yunho a few years ago but now it’s Jaejoong. I’m a Chinese fan.

Jae was so shocked when it happened. He had no idea that he had so many fans in China because he was quite overlooked in Korea and didn’t really have the security of knowing he had a lot of popularity within DBSK fandom until years after DBSK’s debut.
Oh my sweet baby, I’m glad he’s becoming more popular these days. I wish people won’t begrudge him this because he really did not have it easy in the beginning and even now, he still has a big share of the antis. I just don’t get it T_T
By: Cecilia on September 7, 2010

Well, from my observation, it looks like Jaejoong/Yunho. And obviously, Chinese fans are missionaries of Yoonjae fandom. I used to lo~~~ve Yoonjae, too. I wonder how Yoonjae fans can accept the current split of Yoon/Jae. ㅠ,ㅠ,,,ㅠ,ㅠ,,,ㅠ,ㅠ And I really wonder how long this fandom in China continue. 5 years? Ten years? and I wonder whether JYJ’s popularity will become bigger or just stay same if they do more frequent concert in China. How do you feel?

why can i not be happy with news like this?
i miss the five of them so much
i keep thinking it would make it easier if i could just hearing some word from either side, JYJ or HoMin, that they still think of each other and still spend time together or talk or at least SOMETHING and as much as I want to believe that we don’t know about anything between them because SM has a muzzle on HoMin, at the same time, I’m scared that they really might have drifted apart as brothers and no longer want to work together T^T aish….it hurts more than it should and I just can’t stop being selfish with them…
By: jae on September 7, 2010
at 9:11 am
@jae: I miss them as 5 so much too….I wish the lawsuit never happened…because to me, they aren’t even as happy now as they were before when they were all together, so what’s the point?….isn’t their happiness the most important? and haven’t they repeatedly said that they’re happiest on stage singing together and being together? Like you, I wish that they would give a shout out to each other and mention each other from time to time….I can understand Homin being unable to due to SM, but I wish that they would quit being such good and obedient guys for once and rebel a little…lol…JCS have alot more freedom now too so am hoping for them to talk about Homin as well….will continue to wait for the 5 to reunite, but JCS rising higher and farther away from Homin and DBSK definately makes it alot harder to do so.
By: sheilapiglet on September 7, 2010
at 10:09 am
sorrry unlike you, I would like for JJY to stop calling out for HoMin. They did it so many times and all they got silence it return
even their songs have a homin feeling is hard to share off
Yunho and changmin make it clear: they are now dsbk. Is time to move on
Is HoMin saying that now dbsk is 2 members that make it impossible for the 3 to come back
By: monalesa on September 7, 2010
at 10:25 am
@monalesa: huh?….only Jaejoong has made a public shoutout to Homin at the MAMA awards and that was the only time…so not sure what you mean by “so many times”……lol….so now you’re reading into all their song lyrics which aren’t even composed by them and making it out to be all about Homin?…..I think that their lives don’t revolve around the other 2 members.
Do you really think that Homin have the same amount of freedom to talk about JCS as JCS has to talk about Homin?….definately not….and I don’t think that Homin wanting to keep the DBSK name alive is as bad as JCS leaving and forming their own group….who did what first?…if there was no leaving involved, then there wouldn’t be a need to come back now would there?
don’t forget that YH has talked fondly about the members during his HTTG interview and this was POST lawsuit….he also said that Junsu did well in his mozart musical so he wishes to do well too..he says to wait for good things to come…..YH also continuously grabbed red TVXQ balloons at SM Town and pointed at it with a thumbs up..and let’s not forget his obvious protectiveness of the members at the airport after the lawsuit news broke out….you don’t hold onto someone’s waist and put your hand on someone’s shoulders in order to help them not get hurt if you don’t love them or care for them….the 5 members love each other and it goes both ways and it’s not one sided like you’re implying…hence why i want them to be together again.
By: sheilapiglet on September 7, 2010
at 11:55 am
@sheilapiglet
Let me say my true feeling toward this situation.
When I saw JYJ Thanksgiving concert, I’ve got the feeling that even though there were no single word directly speak of “DBSK”, “Tohoshinki”, “Yunho”, “Changmin”…I can feel the sense of love and hope for the whole group, friendship, passion through music. I dare say that even you are crazy JYJ bias, at that point, you must have some sense of love toward Yunho and Changmin.
And never once I feel negative vibe form JYJ toward Yunho and Changmin in term of friendship after the whole lawsuit.
Never once, I could think that Junsu, Jaejoong, Yoochun doesn’t love Yunho and Changmin anymore, not even from the pic of Micky’s tattoo.
Sometimes it’s not about the word that slip from the mouth…even if you want to count that…JJ did speak about Yunho during Heaven’s postman press conference. Also, Yoochun spoke about Yunho, Changmin during SKKS press conference.
Also…Inoue wrote in his twitter that he spoke with JYJ so he tried to convey their feeling in the lyric of W and you should see how they sang that song again before said “so now you’re reading into all their song lyrics which aren’t even composed by them and making it out to be all about Homin?…”
Yes, YH has talked fondly about the members during his HTTG interview and this was POST lawsuit… and let’s not forget his obvious protectiveness of the members at the airport after the lawsuit news broke out….you don’t hold onto someone’s waist and put your hand on someone’s shoulders in order to help them not get hurt if you don’t love them or care for them
But time has changed…From last november, can you also tell me that you have never sense any negative vibe from 2 friends toward their 3 friends?
So, I would love to see all 5 of them moving on. Even that means DBSK would be just a beautiful memory. I treasure DBSK a lot as the memory built by Yunho, Changmin, Jaejung, Yoochun, Junsu + fans. Somehow I wish people could just keep it that way. As times passed by, we might or might not have a chance to built more memory together again. Wait and see. Enjoy what you have right now.
By: reallaerreal on September 7, 2010
at 12:55 pm
@reallaerreal: I have no doubt that the 5 members all love one another still…..other than wanting to be together again tho, I actually also got a vibe that Homin are sad/hurt that JCS left and JCS feels sorry about it.
YC’s tattoo didn’t make me feel that he doesn’t love Homin either…but you also can’t help but feel that he loves JaeSu more now too.
I do believe that ‘W’ consisted of JCS’s feelings of wanting HM beside them again….but they were also talking about the fans…and not all their songs are about Homin like someone was implying….also, saying that you want to be with someone again isn’t the same as actually doing it…..unfortunately, JCS chose their freedom over Homin and as much as they want them to be together again, if the lawsuit never happened, they would have never been separated in the first place.
there’s definately an awkward vibe…but not only from the 2 of them towards the 3 of them….it’s coming from ALL 5 of them….but at the same time, what do we know?….apparently the 5 of them were spotted having a meal together after their year end performance in Japan and still acting like normal close friends.
unfortunately this just proves to me that my theory of: “as time passes, DBSK will fade and passion of fans to keep them together will get weaker as their support for them separately strengthens” is true….I find this saddening….of course I respect your opinion tho…I just don’t feel the same way. I can’t move on knowing that they left behind such a perfect group and perfect friendship…was it really worth it?……as silly or stupid it may be, I’ll continue to hope and pray for them to reunite as 5.
By: sheilapiglet on September 8, 2010
at 9:21 am
I won’t tell anyone don’t be sad…but I just wish people could accept the reality.
.
As much as I want to see their interaction between 5 members again. I don’t think it will happen any time soon.
.
They are taking a big step of their career…to become artist who can determine their own career and direction, not just idols or singers who don’t have freedom to control over their own life.
.
And let’s face it, now they choose different path which they have already considered to be the best for them.
.
I don’t think I could explain my thought much better than this post I’ve found two days ago. It’s long but worth reading it.
======================
http://sharingyoochun.net/2010/09/05/news-100905-tvxq-trio-will-release-a-comeback-album-and-tour-in-october/
i suppose people are sad because jjy has a different feel from tvxq. their concept is different. and we are all waiting for tvxq will get back together although i think most of us understand that it is almost impossible at the moment. it’s really not wrong to feel sad, because we are waiting for tvxq and jjy is not tvxq.
jjy are not the stand ins for tvxq and should not be seen as one. it’s unfair for them. for me, i will give them credit to their efforts so far to build their own images (quite a difficult feat because the tvxq image is too powerful to start with) even if they risk losing a lot of fans.
although homin said in that somewhat controversial SMT statement that they ‘are tvxq’ the split in the fandom clearly say the same thing – homin is also not tvxq. they should not be considered as stand ins for tvxq as well because it’s unfair for them too.
tvxq comprise of those 5 boys together and these 5 boys had different group concept both from jjy and homin. it’s heartbreaking that this wonderful group is (at present!) no more but life is bitchy like that.
regardless the controversies around them both jjy and homin face uphill battles for their future at the moment. yes, both parts alike, not just jjy or just homin. because they can’t rely on the old tvxq fans anymore. how will people react to them not as tvxq anymore? who will buy their works?
i think both of their agencies know this and if you notice, although both have different strategies, both jjy and homin are now in the stage of image building and image making to fight for ‘new’ fanbase. at this stage i think both parts are still riding the tvxq wave – yes BOTH. But soon enough the wave will recede and they have to resort to their own strength and talent.
it does not matter that homin choose to stay in sm and jjy leave, both parties are encountering what tony ahn – former HOT – describe as bracing the new stage of their career where they have to work even harder than before. because inasmuch as they are old faces, they are somewhat new. it may be slightly easier with homin because they stay with the old agency and familiar faces while jjy faces more controversies, hate and misunderstanding and therefore thread a more unsteady ground.
with that, i think both parts will have to deal with shrinking fanbase and diminishing sales but once they are strong enough to stand on their own they will come up with a steady fanbase again. it may not be as big as the tvxq fanbase anymore but let’s admit it. they are not even idols anymore.
so with that, good luck for your future, boys..all 5 of you..hope you all will be met with success that you all deserve.

A++++
for them to have a secure successful future they need to shed the dbsk image and be seen as the indiduals not dbsk members. DBSK is holding them down and they can’t ride on that hype of dbsk for so long coz like u said what about when it becomes apparent they’re over for good will they just disappear.
it seems tey’re moving further away from dbsk but realistically its the best decision. They’re moving on which means letting go of something precious to them.
its a painful transition but its essential for their future. Its fine to be sad there’s no ot5 but they can only march ahead.

hey, thanks for reposting my comment. I only want to say that the DBSK split is nobody’s fault, it’s not JYJ fault, it’s also not Homin’s fault. Life is difficult like that, many things are beyond our control and playing the blame game just won’t cut it. It most definitely won’t get you anywhere.
So peace out everyone!

You took the words out of my mouth dear. I agree with your analysis on the members feeling since November and my views on that as you have noted is the same as yours.
By: Shin_kel on September 7, 2010

no matter how many times JJ and YC said about their love for each other, there are always people who keep doubting. so what is the point of repeating what they had said for many times? if they continue to show their love for HM and DBSK one more time, how long will you believe in their words? 3 or 5 days? and then, will you make it sure that you wont demand for it again?

i just mean that people keep demanding JYJ to show their love for HM. it did happen many times but after that, people will ask again and again: “did they forget about HM and DBSK?”. actually, i dont understand much about your question

I’m just so damn proud of the boys. They show us that they can make a very smart and mature decisions like taking care of their career first hand. I’m so glad they are going to cement their fanbase in the China market. First Korea, Japan then China, then rest of Asia then the World. JYJ Fighting!!!

i dun care what people will say, we need to move on,
why keep on whining? we should be happy for them! whatever they had decided we should try to accept it, bcoz we didn’t know what had happened behind it, and i believe they have their own reason, but can’t say it loud!

@samohty: don’t worry, you’re not the only one feeling this way. and it’s not selfish for you to want the 5 together again cuz that’s what the members want too=)

and here i’m feeling confused on how they manage their schedule ^_^;
i guess, after release of The… they would promote in Japan for 1-2 weeks, then Junsu has to back to Korea to prepare the Musical Concert, then they release their int’l album in the mid of Oct, thereafter go to the flight concert & do promotion for their int’l album. i believe they will sing in korean as they taken up as kor rep.
this s just MY ASSUMPTION, btw.
CONQUER ASIA!

Ya know….this is GREAT news for Asian fans – and honestly, I’m very happy & excited for you gals….yet, I’m a bit sad for we *Western Cassies”.
But I guess it’s not like we had much hope of their interest in marketing to U.S., Canada, S.America, U.K. …and western countries in general.
I can set aside my personal emotional response and acknowledge that more work for the boyz (as long as they want it) is a GOOD thing. And also that several Kpop artists have made multi-year efforts at trying to crack-the-western-market — without success.
Soooooo~ it makes perfect sense to expand in the market that has a proven track record of support. They’re obviously making some VERY smart moves. (proud of them)
By: sally_b on September 7, 2010
at 9:31 am
sorry….p.s. to myself
I also think it’s rather brilliant to release a Korean CD, then go immediately to tour Asia. It gives SME, YG & JYP less control of their Monopoly on the Korean market. Those companies could stand to have their artist-choking powers reduced. sez me.
By: sally_b on September 7, 2010
at 9:39 am
Baby steps, Sally B. Baby steps.
As if taking one region at a time can be called ~baby~ steps. Hahaha…
There are plenty of JPop acts in America and Europe. Its not impossible JYJ will join them soon. But first they really need to cement their position here in Asia.
By: OrangesForJYJ on September 7, 2010

Yep. Once they have a solid foundation in asia, they can move on to other parts of the world :’D

Hey OrangesForJYJ ((hug))
yeah….I don’t think they’ll have much trouble *storming* Asia. WOOT!
however…about Jpop acts in America & Europe. Plenty of.
not really. in fact….not much more than a curiousity.
The day I actually hear Kpop on a U.S. radio station that’s NOT NPR (national public radio/news) I will be STUNNED. It’s just not HERE. (trust me)
I’m willing to accept that Kpop (JYJ, HoMin) may never make it *west* — but I DO want English language access to their news/events. I’d bet I’m not alone.
cheers and hugs ~

@sally_b
~hugs u back~
Well, not plenty enough for mainstream, but there are enough fanmeets, small scale concert to whet the fans thirst. Like what Gackt, Namie, Utada and Laruku did. =) That’s definitely a lot more than some part of Asia will ever get (like my country T_T)
No you’re the only one wanting their English news. Let’s hope them joining PRAIN means they’ll give us non Korean/Japanese speakers some considerations

It’s quite interesting to see JJY’s moves. Seems like they are really going against the talent agency dominating trend (monopoly) in South Korea idol industry. But it’s good to see that they really seem to have calculated everything. They reckon seriously the force of international/global fans.
By: OrenjiJunsu on September 7, 2010

JYJ is so big now. I guess this is what happens when there isn’t anyone to limit them. These boys can do this great! I think they are using this chance to meet fans all around the world too. I’m going hongkong at the end of the year, please just let me meet them, I promise I won’t faint!

lol~ So you can be a little obnoxious too sometimes? My friend told me some of my posts are a bit obnoxious bcoz I can be really a prat sometimes.

u know what, i have to find my dictionary to know meaning of obnoxious lol like i said my english^^;; yeah, sometimes but i usually wtrite in my own language in twitter xD, but i think ur comment is not obnoxious but more like straight forward xD, keyword is raikkonen, right? xD yeah, pru is disappear for while, too bad, i also like her comments.
By: hamaji on September 7, 2010

I am straight forward type of person anyway.XD~ Pru just probably couldnt stand the hypocrisy here anymore.lol~ I kinda talked to her in LJ for a while then she disappeared or maybe she’s just in her Leurkemia state.

When I first heard this news, I had a bittersweet feeling take over me. I was happy for JYJ for expanding their careers yet bitter about the fact that our DBSK is growing further and further apart.
But Yoochun always reminds us, “Baby keep the faith eternally~”
Anyway, from what I heard, this is probably an extension from avex? Avex and East Asia Etn are sister labels. So, probably the works of Max-san. I think it’s a good way to promote and hold concerts in the chinese region.
Good luck to the boys.
And Cassies, let’s wait together. Wait for this thunderstorm to be over and await our sunshine!

Ok so what’s there to be sad anyway?
I think it’s pretty obvious for everyone that DBSK can’t reunite in the near future.
And until that time comes – cause it will come – they can’t just stand and do nothing, they need money, they need to work, to try different things – they need to prove that they’re not just a boyband (no, I don’t see them that way, but others do).
You know…I promised myself to be happy for them, no matter how sad things will be, I promised myself to enjoy what they are giving us as the moment – and will do that.
I love all five of them so I’ll support them in whatever they’ll do, and waiting silently for my Dong Bang boys to reunite.
Just be happy people – not every news is a bad news.

By: hamaji on September 7, 2010

I must say that I really do not see how JJY success means no more DBSK? Well I suppose I understand the misunderstanding that is created but as I see it, they need success to continue DBSK. What would have happened if at the beginning when everything started falling apart that all the fans frowned upon them and JJY lost everything? Whenever I read articles about how DBSK was at there peak and all of a sudden the lawsuit news came everyone would say it was grim timing. I thought it made perfect sense. The lawsuit was a risky move and JJY was not happy with the way they were being treated. If they were less popular the lawsuit would have torn them apart and all their fans( or most) would have left them to grieve in their misery. Without a strong fanbase it would have been over long ago, SM would have won. The fans worry about the success of each side but success can only injure the group if money is more important than the people involved. We have seen their tears and woes and support of each other. Those who say that Homin introducing themselves as DBSK is bad obviously have not thought of what was worst: absolutely no mention of DBSK at all. Isn’t that what SM wanted when they avoided having DBSK written on the fangood at SM Town in Seoul? If cassies can support Homin by using the red ocean for those two at the concert why can’t Homin do the most they can and atleast have DBSK mentioned? What if no one supported either side in their solo endeavors or group endeavors? Would SM quickly promote anyone else rather than Homin at all? Wouldn’t many agencies turn down JJY after the lawsuit if no one wanted to hear them sing? The key point here is to support both sides bitterly divided by circumstances with all the desire we have for all five of them. If they want it bad enough-those five boys we have grown to love so much and who have shown an incredibly strong bond between eachother-they will find a way to cone together as five again when the water has cleared and nothing can hold them back. At this moment there is tension in the public air and I believe SM is trying to bide time for the fanbase to dwindle so they may have their newer artist have more of a chance. Right now is a critical time and it may seem like forever now, but I believe it’s just another obstacle in their difficult lives. They each have gone through so much and I believe in time they will only reflect upon this dark hour and know they got through it. Always Keep The Faith!

I absolutely agree.
This is the time for us fans to stand together, stronger than ever, to support our five boys, to show SM that their fans are still here, still waiting, still believing, still by their side and that we will be here until the day they return as a 5.
This is not the time for us to divide into HM and JYJ – this is just what SM wants…I really hope that fans won’t do this anymore, won’t judge them and bash one side or the other – because there are not 2 sides, there is only one.

A+ comment.
I believe SM is trying to bide time for the fanbase to dwindle so they may have their newer artist have more of a chance.
THIS SO MUCH. I have no doubt that DBSK will leave a huge gaping hole in the Kpop market, even if they haven’t been active in Korea for ages … and SM is probably all too glad to try and fill it with its newer groups and debut some new group made out of obedient kids that can have 24324234 releases because they aren’t stuck in Japan.
And yeah, it looked like it was horrible timing because they just made their breakthrough in Japan – who knows how much bigger they could have become? But at the same time it made perfect sense because they finally had enough leverage to bargain with.

now our dream to see them in our country (in asia) are more reachable.
i mean, you know how difficult it was when they still stay on SM.
i hope HoMin will join JJY in the future and be an even big and mature TVXQ without SM.
i don’t hate SM but i can’t support that company since this lawsuit worsen.

we’re right behind you!

when i first saw all these news i was happy but also a bit sad. like many of yu i was like each step they take is like they are going further way from dbsk. both homin n jjy are going in opposite direction in where they started which is dbsk.
but im so happy n proud at how smart jjy moves are. lol im not going to think too much into this as i already held my stance. i will support homin jyj n dbsk. all member individually n together. n at the end of the road they will be together when the time is right. never stop believing n trust all five members. their friendship and love. something that we cant ever doubt. will bring them together. if not thier love for cassie will.
By: lily on September 7, 2010
at 11:43 am
i’m happy with all these smart moves that they make but i’m still accepting their new style, i mean i think a lil bit differ from tvxq? yunho n changmin are moving on in-in their own way n strategy, so jyj will do the same thing too. when one day we see success in them,all 5 of them with their own style, then i can say they’re definitely the true performer.
china market is definitely big so why not?just like kpop, there are a lot of ppl in europe n us listen to chinese music.

Hey, if there are any chinese fans, I am wondering how they are reacting about this news? They must be happy? You know what? In some of Korean fan sites, we are very appreciate Chinese fans, because they are so generous to share pictures and so committed to supporting JYJ, especially JJ. I just want to say congrats to Chinese fans, who have waited so loyally for a long time, even when they could not visit China very often. JYJ! I hope they will be loved in all over the world from now!

Their reunite is up to the lawsuit. When the lawsuit is over, we will see. Until that time we can’t expect for them to sit and wait. It is entertainment bussiness. I am so happy for them. When Homin starts their activities I will also be happy and I will support them. They all are talented, famous and hardworking boys. we can not just expect them to stick at only dramas etc. It is so natural that they want to do big things.
Please lets stop to argue about the little things that they do or say. We can’t understand their feelings and know what they got in the mind. Assuming things looking their actions is worthless. We can’t know what will happen in the future. Maybe they always think to to come together in one day but it is already a year and we can’t know what they live during this time so things can change. I just wish for all of them to be happy and one day if they want to, I wish them to come together again as TVXQ…

in mean time during the lawsuit it’s good that the boys keep having activities..they need to maintain their (dbsk) existence and do what they love to do~

though i realize saying anything negative about jyj seems to be all but forbidden in this fandom, i’m going to have to go against the grain here anyway and say while i understand their decisions and truly do think they’ve made very smart, business-savvy ones and wish them success, i’ll still probably not be very interested in anything jyj does for a while. my excitement for the trio kind of died during all the blatant, needless fan manipulation and pr spectacles.
but this is just me. i’ll get over it. and well, can’t please everybody all the time, right?

to tell the true, well, i just say this in some personal blog because i afraid that i will hurt many other fans feeling. But since you say it here, then let me rant a little bit. I dont feel the same with homin anymore. i dont know why. During this lawsuit time, watching their attitude, their “silent”, their interview. i dont think i love hthem like before anymore. i, now, just see them as other k-pop idol. yeah, it sad!!, now i find myself dont read news about them, dont watch fancam of them, looking at thier pic and feel nothing. really sorry to say this. but i wish them all the best in their future

i was NEVER feel disappointed at HM as much as when tohoshinki performed at the year end music festivals in japan ):
how they look like they didn’t even want to be there…. that’s why i never re-watched those performances. i DID NOT blame HM in any way, i just felt extremely disappointed and sad. and that, sadly, had made me lose interest in them =X on the other hand, i gotta admit that i’m not as crazy fangirl as i used to be (i’m not into any other idol groups, either lol) but i guess i’m glad that to JCS music is still their #1, and they are growing into artists who want to do whatever kind of music they want to do, i respect that…

i’m more partial to homin myself, but i’m not the kind of person to get into bashing/flame wars or take it personally when other people have negative things to say about them. because, really, they’re entitled to and there’s nothing wrong with their opinions or feelings. so i really do appreciate your honesty.
i think fans’ being honest with how they feel about things is something this fandom could use a lot more of.
but anyway, i can understand where you’re coming from with homin. although i’m sure they had their reasons, how silent they were during that time still bothered me a little too, i can’t lie. but maybe how you feel about homin will change in the future. and if not, then that’s perfectly fine too, even if you might run into people who’ll resent you for your change of heart because they have no real perspective. you don’t have to force yourself to like or love everything or even anything involving the tvxq members. it might only led to aggravation for you. people change all the time, interests change all the time. and that, i feel, is okay. it’s a part of life. in some cases, i feel memories and the good times once had suffice.

Nothing is forbidden in this fandom, you can talk evething as you want.
You can not hear a little negative about NOT ONLY JYJ BUT ALSO HOMIN hier, becuase most of readers are so rational and mature.
How do you know that JYJ made “the blatant, needless fan manipulation and pr spectacles.” Give us evidences. WHy most of us don’t know that????

Nothing is forbidden in this fandom, you can talk evething as you want.
i wish i felt that were more true, but sadly, i don’t.
i rarely see fans speak up about how they really feel about homin and jaechunsu in a negative light and i know fans with these kinds of things to say are more numerous than we might think. i’ve witnessed a lot of fans around the internet do no more than tiptoe around each other’s feelings and not be true to themselves or not just get their opinions/feelings shot down and invalidated with blind bias and rage. and that’s unfortunate.
telling fans what they want to hear and actually selling them faith and hope would fall under fan manipulation and pr spectacles, such as when yoochun said their relationships with each other hasn’t changed much, yoochun’s latest tattoo, the W song, the tears they shed on stage. i wouldn’t doubt there’s plenty of genuineness behind of all that, but it’s just generally how jyj through their management have handled themselves throughout these uncertain times for the fate of tvxq that’s disappointed me. but, really, i can’t expect them to do anything else because they have a fanbase to cater to. so i can see why these things have been done.
and it’s no secret that a lot of idols tend to broadcast their friendships within their respective groups because it’s what sells and fans’ emotional investment pays off, and a lot of us fans buy into this because we find it interesting and we love the idols and want to know more about their personal lives. and we, in turn, subject ourselves to uncertain outcomes and possibly being deceived.

Now I understand what you mean. Although we have different views about these matter, I respect your opinion.
I don’t want to discus because it won’t change anything, neither my views or your views
By: liebdbsk on September 7, 2010

:/ when I first heard that they didn’t write W themselves and that it was going to be released as a track, I was taken aback because it seemed to almost cheapen the emotions the song represented – sometimes less is more and all that. But after watching them perform it, it’s clear that performing the song was catharsis for the three of them.
But I guess it depends on how each one of us wants to interpret things. You can chalk it down to a PR spectacle orchestrated by AVEX so that JYJ can be more profitable to them. Or you can chalk it down to the fact that Yoochun and Junsu especially are the crybabies in Toho (I can’t even count anymore how many times I’ve seen Su cry while singing a ballad) and that they’ve always been more open about showing emotion. JaeHoMin were always more controlled and concerned about ‘manly pride’ (though Yunho usually tears up in response to YooSu and Jae’s been crying at lives a lot since 2008). Basically, they’ve always tried to handle their emotions in different ways.
Anyway, I see W as both catharsis for JYJ and a PR move by AVEX. After all, there’s no reason why the motives of the company and the motives of the artist can’t overlap at times. Maybe I’m just blinded by love but even though I do think AVEX let them sing W for a reason, I’m not inclined to think that in the past year or so JaeChunSu have become mercenary enough and callous enough to fake tears. lol and I also don’t think they’re good enough actors 8D
though i realize saying anything negative about jyj seems to be all but forbidden
Really? I wish I knew of a fan community where hating on any of the five was forbidden. I don’t know where you’ve been but I see plenty of hate directed at all of them. I’d even say JYJ get more hate because there are three of them so 3/2 more antis than Ho+Min.

Going to SM town felt like closure for me.
When the voice over and Homin said they were DBSK it felt like they were DBSK and I came to the conclusion that is they are DBSK, whatever number they are. They will remain DBSK. Everything that happens afterwards is only just the details. Our 5 boys will go forward and bring us only better, deeper and more brilliant dance, music and performace because that is what makes them The Gods of the East.

It’s a good thing. I will support them.
Since the 5 can’t work together for the time being, I’ll take whatever the boys offer me with their activities. Solo, drama, whatever just as long as they’re happy.
I’ll always keep my faith and pray for Gods of the East to return again with their genuine smiles.

Why can’t we respect Xiah-nim, JJ-san and Chunnie as artists as other aetists do? Do they need to get any permision from their fans when they do what they wanna do?
You all, just their fans, can you secure their whole life? Why can’t you respect what they do if you were their truely surely their fans?
By: maddie on September 7, 2010

anw..it actually really makes sense for them to join East Asia..they gotta venture outta korea…since any other mgt company based in korea will be heavily influence by SME..well..pls…i wanna see more exposure of u guys in the rest of asia!!!

is East Asia their management company in China or the only one they have?
By: iruka on September 7, 2010
at 9:12 pm
its their management company in china, HK and taiwan while Avex handles their Japanese work.
They’re still under SM in korea so they can’t be under an agency but have a record label and pr team which basically solves the agency issue.

— finished reading ALL the above.
and yes, “bittersweet” is the perfect word.
I’m actually a chinese cassie, so it’s hard not to be excited of the prospects that JYJ is actually going to be so much closer to us.
but at the same time, I cant help thinking that I’d kinda prefer them being based in Korea or/and Japan.
or more specifically, I really really hope that East Asia will only distribute/promote JYJ’s music and maybe arrange for shows, commercials. in apple daily, it only mentioned these + movies but never on music. Personally I’m really not keen on seeing them act in Chinese movies or singing chinese songs.
The truth is that Chinese is not and will not be their primary language. Hence, for them to connect and build rapour with the Chinese audience (and not Chinese cassies since we’ll be starry eyed even if Junsu’s speaking African) will be very very hard.
With their already busy schedule in JP and KO, and how unlike SJM (no comparison, just stating facts) which has 3 chinese members, it’ll be quite impossible for them to master Chinese to the extent to be able to communicate partially (and just saying “hi or thank you or i love u” is not enough) with the audience.
My guilty pleasure when watching TVXQ videos is to see the awe and impressed looks of the audience when they see the 5 perform with such passion, talent and unrivalled charisma. Hence, when they expand to a foreign market (not just catered to kpop/jpop/cassie lovers), I really want new audience to experience the awesomeness of TVXQ, THE GODS OF THE EAST.
In addition, Chinese media have been using quite biased vocabulary on the boys all the along – for example in today’s article on apple daily, they described JYJ as “turning their backs on SM ENT” (反面) instead of suing SM for unfair contract, and that they “abandoned” (撇下) HoMin.
Therefore, even though I’m happy that they’re expanding into the biggest Asian market, I really hope that they will concentrate in working on what they do best – SINGING in a language that they can connect with, and showing us their true colours –
because ultimately, no matter where they are, we will be standing with them.
ALWAYS KEEP THE FAITH, HOPE TO THE VERY END.

I agree with you i really don’t wanna see them singing Chinese i just don’t like it i prefer them singing jap or Korean so i really really hope that they will sing with the languages they have always sang with!
By: lanaW on September 7, 2010
at 10:02 pm
IKR apple daily is like that. If they decide to work in Hong Kong and China they would have to bear all these, to me, rubbish newspapers.
They exaggerate alot alot.
They dun do that to our boys only, but alot others. Only motive is to attract more readers.
quite worried that they have to deal with the Chinese media, but yeah lucky they have a huge fanbase there

actually…I only hope they dun go all hardworking learning chinese. >_>
I dun want them to suffer and work so hard. Learning a language isnt easy (of course ==)
yeah anyway I feel bittersweet about it, but yeah, they have to move on and this is a smart move.
all the best for my lovely 5 boys <333
By: yjcms on September 7, 2010

I wish them the best, but this is kind of frustrating. Instead of moving to get back together with HoMin, it looks as if they’re moving further away.
This is so sad, but still how can I not be happy for them…

I am a DBSK’s fan fr HK. Personally, I was not feeling really really excited but still happy this morning when I read this new. Happy bcoz they’ve settled their new path and i can have more chance to attend their concert and see their exposure in HK; feeling not excited bcoz just feel it’s so hard to them not only learning Chinese but also learning spoken language inclduing Cantonese (use in HK and most of super stars under this firm are HK ppl ) and Mandarin (use in China and Taiwan). Actually, I really hope they can work under western ent firm instead of. But anyway, keep fighting and stay healthy my lovely 5 boys…
