JYJ is being “hindered endlessly in ways that must be justified by the law and common knowledge”, says the President of JYJ’s CJeS Entertainment (dkpop trans).
President Baek Chang Joo made a public statement about the way in which JYJ is being treated by some of the big players in the Korean entertainment industry.
President Baek says that CJeS will continue to help JYJ push forward to achieve their goals even if that means the filing of a lawsuit.
Senator Kim Jae Yoon has publicly condemned KBS for their decision to cancel JYJ’s appearance at a concert promoting Korea’s Jeju Island for inclusion on the New 7 Wonders list.
Senator Kim is from the Jeju Island parliament and slammed KBS for being “international embarrassment” to the government, according to translated reports.
Senator Kim stated:
“The media has raised speculation of external pressures. The situation became more controversial as groups from JYJ’s former entertainment company, whom JYJ are on trial with, replaced JYJ.”

KBS made assurances to JYJ that they would not cancel the scheduled New 7 Wonders concert appearance on July 20th. That’s what Prain Director Lee Jae Eun revealed in an interview with Radio 21 about the whole KBS/Jeju/N7W controversy that’s still churning among JYJ fans from around the world.
Prain is the company which handles JYJ’s communication with the media.
Because JYJ has had to deal with so many cancellations due to powerful external pressures, they didn’t accept the job unless KBS made assurances that the broadcast company wouldn’t up and cancel.
According to translated reports, Yoochun has been diagnosed with shingles. Shingles (varicella zoster virus) is a rash most commonly affecting the torso area.
A representative is quoted as saying:
“Yoochun was diagnosed with shingles last week while filming for `Miss Ripley`. His face is fine, but he has rashes on his chest and back. Due to his busy filming schedule this past week, he has been suffering from overwork and stress, which led to a weakened immune system and his illness.
“It would be best for him to get some rest in a hospital, but he’s receiving treatment in between schedules that we could not avoid”
In my observations of all the controversy happening between JYJ, other broadcasters and other companies, I can only come to the conclusion that SM is root cause for it.
The controversy at its onset with JYJ could have been fixed very early on if that damn company wasn’t so stubborn. A few small concessions, and none of this may ever have happened.
JYJ was never asking for the moon to begin with. But SM will fight to the death to keep JYJ from being successful if they can because they want to make an example of these three for speaking out.
SM’s problem is that they cannot control JYJ’s talent or the way fans have rallied around them. The more problems SM creates for JYJ (whether its under the table or not) the more people feel like protecting them.
If JYJ was thwarted twice or three times in their attempts to be part of things like promos for their dramas, you could probably write it off. But repeatedly? Time after time after time?
