…And this is why I love black haired Jaejoong…
…wow… Look at this kid! I mean… look at this man! And he was the furthest away, out of the 5, from the “type” of guy my eyes were attracted to when I first came to know who TVXQ was. Guys with tattoos and piercings or pretty guys are not my style… but this guy… man, that doesn’t even matter! (I guess this is how grown folk “spazz”. 😛 LOL!)
During recent promotional activities, Yunho and Changmin were asked questions not only about their new music but also about the apparently strained relationship between themselves and JYJ.
According to translated reports from Worldwide Daily News and National Daily News, the-youngest-one-in-curls, here thereafter referred to as Changmin, used the analogy about geese leaving the flock to describe how 3 members of TVXQ left SM.
Translated reports say that Changmin said the following:
Links about the comments were all over twitter in the wake of Changmin’s purported analogy. If this translation is correct — and apparently its been checked and rechecked — Changmin may not necessarily understand the true nature of geese.
Based on my Jan 7 2011 soompi post
Right now, reportedly other SM artists are taking the opportunity to criticize Junsu for tweeting about an unnamed “enemy”, and about this unnamed person (or persons) showing deference to someone he thought this person saw as an “enemy”.
Well other SM artists are taking to the internet and jumping into this dispute as if their opinion at this time is supposed to mean anything when they couldn’t or wouldn’t speak up as unfair treatment was being heaped onto Junsu, Yoochun and Jaejoong.
Super Junior’s Shindong is claimed to have tweeted in response to Junsu’s post, accusing Junsu of not being “grateful” or showing “ingratitude”. And apparently he’s not the only one to post vague things which can only relate to the current situation between JYJ and SM. The names of BoA, Sim Jaewon (whoever that is *eye-rolling*) and a vague post from Sungmin have also been floating around as well.
Jaewon is reported to have written “I can’t just hold back any longer.. Hey, little brother, that’s not right at all.. Who do you think you are pointing fingers at? Don’t act like you’re so upset. Who’s the real one that’s hurt in here…? So ungrateful, how could you do this?””
Frankly, if “big brother” would have stood up to SM before now, then maybe “little brother” wouldn’t have to be the one with the balls to do it. Oh snap! Yes I did go there because somebody has to say it.
Ever so often I do post on soompi forums. Some of those posts could actually fit in my blog area. So I’ll just report them here. Here’s my 2nd one from Jan 6 2011:
I can’t help but to think that this is exactly what SM wants: people at each other’s throats and to get rid of the people who don’t support what SM wants them to support.
Love Min and Yunho. However, “TVXQ” will never be a 2 member group (or a 3 member group). That’s just the way it is to a lot of people and they shouldn’t feel bad about feeling that way either. Trying to interfere with Cassiopeia or marketing TVXQ as a 2 member group (if that’s what SM is doing) and taking advantage of Yunho’s and Changmin’s hard work is totally unacceptable.
SM wants to take control of the community of fans and the one surefire way to do so is to split the community. DIVIDE AND CONQUER. Did I not read numerous posts all over the internet about this very thing when this situation first happened? SM seems to be banking on the hope that most fans will drop support for JYJ when forced to choose, or be too excited about Yun and Min to care about anything else. Or maybe SM just doesn’t care and wants to push out the fans who they see as traitors who supported JYJ.
………
I don’t feel pity for anything or anybody that tries to obstruct these 5 young men being together. A million things had to go right for them to initially find each other; to take each others’ hand and walk forward together.
They may be cutting different paths from one goal to the next, but this, too, may be for a reason. While missing pieces of themselves, they can still love. They can love each other no matter where in the world they exist. And because of this, all of the independent situations which had to occur for them to exist as TVXQ seem all the more remarkable.
“Ayyy Girl” now has a VIDEO! The Kanye West laced song by JYJ from their “The Beginning” album is certainly growing on me. The video hit like a bolt of lightning (pun intended) online and my twitter lit up with people posting links to it. I give it a look, and as soon as I got over how sexy “little SuSu” (Junsu) is in the video, I began to see something deeper.
However, it has come to my attention that certain people, including fans, are criticizing the video either because they don’t like it or because they don’t understand what seems perfectly obvious to me. The video is full of metaphor and messages.
When an artist changes from being heavily managed to being able to express their own creative freedom, you have to think more than a couple of seconds about what they’re trying to convey.
