Guess who got a special honor by receiving the Commendation of the Minister award during the opening ceremonies of KBEE 2012 Korea Brand & Entertainment Expo? JYJ, of course.

JYJ received the honor because they were designated to have the most influence on culture among all the Korean Entertainment stars.  Take that, antiquated KPOP industry!

Jaejoong in Elle Korea: My Journey Week

In northern India, the road to Alwar located near Rajasthan was more difficult than they had anticipated. They shouldn’t have believed so easily when they heard that it would only take 4 and a half hours from Delhi Airport.

For the people who measure time by the ticks of a clock, it wasn’t easy joining people in a city who followed the spirit of time. All too often, they complained, “Are we out here filming The Laws of the Jungle“.

For seven hours, the enormous dust cloud followed the van as if it were a genie from a magical lamp. Amongst all the dust, dawn was peeking, and out of the van window they could see the people of Ajabgarh going about their daily lives like a mirage in a desert.

Someone commented in awe, “I feel like Indiana Jones. It’s as if we are journeying through the past.”

But the villa favored by the king hundreds of years ago became nothing more than a dry village for the poor. The lake barely survived the monsoon, becoming a puddle of sticky acorn jello (t/n: Korean traditional food), but they were relieved to find the people’s hearts were still full of moisture.

“Wow, this is a tremendous country.” Jaejoong’s reflection of happiness and sadness aroused inspiration as the elegant resort opened up without a single notice. Within the sound of the faint sadness, their minds became clear.

SBS Pokes a Hornet’s Nest By Refusing to Broadcast Junsu’s Performance

SBS just poked the hornet’s nest by refusing to broadcast the performance by Xia Junsu at the National Para Games Opening Ceremony.

From what I’ve gathered so far, SBS used Junsu’s name and appearance at the live event to help promote it.  Then when he performed, they either cut the cameras or they purposely refused to broadcast his performance on air.

Needless to say, fans are beyond pissed off at this latest affront.  SBS supposedly used JYJ’s fans to help fill the venue and to make the event look like a success all while intending to keep Junsu off their air.
