Hopefully they will learn their lesson soon, but with the way things are going I wonder if they will. I wonder what will happen with the lawsuit with Han Geng they have said they reached an agreement but who knows what that really means. Me too I absolutely adore YG, the artists dont seem generic like some acts are now becoming. I only wish they would go on more variety shows though. Some of the SM artists do get alot of exposure but some of them dont.

He may have been for all we know, and they just covered it up, Oh well we can dream eh? 😆

Well going through everything they must do, they will surely be prepared for the bad things that might happen in the world. I guess they like having trainees young becuase they are easier to mould the way they want them.

I'd say its an apt way to describe him 😆 Exactly, there isnt really alot he can do to stop their success, I guess only he cant be blamed for everything the other shareholders must have a say in it too.

Junjin was a member of Infinity Challenge so if he's your crush you'll see alot of him there 😛

Honestly, I've not followed Han Geng's lawsuit against them very closely, although I can imagine what went down. Since SM does not have the kind of power in China to do the same thing they're doing to JYJ over there, at least Han Geng has a successful solo career with no restrictions.

Yes, all of YG's bands are very fresh and very unique in their concepts. Especially 2NE1, which breaks the cutesy bubblegum girl band cliche. I agree with you, I can't find as many appearances from these guys on variety shows as I do for other companies' bands. I wonder why that is 😕

LOL, if anybody ever DOES beat him up, they need to record it and put it up on Youtube. The power of the internet will never let them cover it up or live it down 😆

Not to mention, most of them won't be able to pick apart the contracts before signing them. A lot of them are without parental support, so it's not like anybody will do it for them either. They're naive and hopeful, and they won't care about the paperwork until it's too late 😕

He sure looks like one 😆 You're right, he's probably not the only one to blame for all this. But he has a large part in running things, and I guess he puts a face to the company that fans can lash out against.

LOL, I have already seen him on there a little (The Haru Haru and Abracadabra parodies 😛).

LOOOL, poor Junsu! 😆 He must be so scared to face JaeChun right now.

I went a little insane after seeing Junsu's Elisabeth pictures. And then I listened to Gackt's 'Redemption'. There was a massacre in photoshop and the result was this:

I feel so emo.

JYJ's Junsu & Jaejoong hold an impromptu photoshoot on a tour bus

JYJ's Junsu cracked up his fans after he tweeted a series of photos taken in Spain. Junsu goofed around with his fellow members and staff while on board a tour bus, and eventually he convinced Jaejoong to hold an impromptu photoshoot while the bus was moving.

His short caption read, "Being a happy tourist. The wind is nice." He later added, "These are concept photos," and attached pictures he took with Jaejoong. "We weren't ashamed even though there were foreigners right beside us on the bus. I swear I saw them laughing a little."

Netizens commented, "It looks like you're really enjoying freedom," "It's like no matter where you are, you always manage to bring professional photos", and "I can hear you laughing from here ^^".

JYJ became the first Korean artist to hold a solo concert in Spain, and now they'll be heading towards Berlin, Germany, for their next European concert.

gosh that devil - angel like wallpaper of junsu is so HOT..is there a jaejoong version too?

it is been ages since last time i was here

Oh God, those two 😆 Look at their fashion magazine poses! Hot and hilarious at the same time <3

@Suneshine: Hi there, Marielle! :) Thanks! Junsu DOES look really hot in the promo pics 😳 There isn't a Jaejoong version yet, but I think I will make one soon now that you've asked about it. I know some of his photoshoots are perfect for a concept like this 😆 Love your sigs, btw. Especially the YunJae one!

I haven't been following it either but I remember seeing an article about it and thinking there is alot more to it than that. Yeah I guess he is very lucky he's in China where they let him operate as an artisit regardless of that issue with the contract.

@ Mari - Hi! How have you been and you're right its been so long since you came here

JYJ discusses their Europe tour + their wish for recognition in Korea

On October 29th, JYJ became the first Korean artist to hold their own concert in Spain. 3,000 fans from all over Europe made the journey to Barcelona to cheer on their beloved idols and take part in a dream coming true.

JYJ held a press conference with both the Korean and Spanish press, answering questions about their limited appearances in Korea as well as their hopes for their European tour.

Reporters asked, "Although you're promoting in various parts of Asia, the Americas, and Europe, even in places where Korean singers aren't well known, it seems that we have the hardest time seeing you perform in Korea. Do you have any wishes about being able to promote without restrictions?"

Yoochun replied, "To be honest, I don't think broadcast appearances are something we should think about… If I had a wish, it would be to be treated fairly. Although I know we can't do anything about the fact that we're missing from charts and such… From one perspective, those things are the results and repayment for our Korean fans who buy and listen to our album, so for those results to be missing – it's upsetting. I wish things like our album sales and other numerical figures that represent the amount of love we're receiving from the public could be recognized."

The members also discussed the reasons they chose Spain and Germany as locations for their first Europe tour.

Junsu stated, "Although it'd be nice if we could tour all of Europe, we aren't able to do that yet… We started receiving love calls from various European cities since last year, but we weren't sure how far our influence had reached, so rather than coming up with irrational figures, we decided to pick countries that would be easy for fans to gather at… The best locations were Spain for Western Europe, and Germany for North and Eastern Europe. If a second Europe tour is possible, we'd like to perform in more countries."

When asked whether they had anything special planned for the concert in Spain the next day, Jaejoong replied, "We've worked on some passionate performances and acrobatics with a famous local choreographer, Rafa Mendez." Jaejoong also added that they plan to show themselves as who they are, rather than putting on a different front just for the Europe venture.

He stated, "This Barcelona concert will have about 3,000 audience members. Although it's small, we think that the majority of the audience will be of JYJ mania fans. Instead of seeing something that got reinterpreted to fit Spain or Europe, I think that they may want something more authentic and 'Korean'. That's why even though this is our first European concert, we don't feel a pressure that's any different from the usual."

Junsu agreed, "The order of performance also hasn't been changed too much from the earlier tour in the Americas… We are coming as K-Pop and Hallyu singers, so I think that there will be a lot of fans who want to see our way of holding concerts. We didn't try to make a special change. We will try to show ourselves as we are."

In addition to their concert in Spain, the members were also invited to perform at the Spain Manga Festival. The boys will now move on to Berlin, Germany, for their concert on November 6th.

I absolutely agree with you about 2NE1, thats why they are my favourite gir group 😛 I think YG limits what they do on other variety shows because they have things like 2NE1TV plus they promote like crazy anyway.

Haha thats so true, It would probably be the most watched thing 😆 But you know they would find some way to twist it.

I guess that's how they hook the trainees they are naive enough to think they will have their dreams come true if they sign that contract. I wonder what South Korea says about Contract Law. I guess it varies in every country and the age for minors might be different too.

Every company needs a figure head and he's it for SME. He surely knows how fans feel but like the saying goes if the system isn't broken don't fix it.

Oh you have 😛 There is one episode where they get locked in a container and they think it's being raised off the ground but it isn't really and each of them are so terrified 😆

By the way I love that sig, its amazing!

I love 2NE1 <3 Especially Dara 😳 Yes, they do have their own shows, don't they? But variety show appearances won't undercut those, IMO, so I think they should let them on more often.

LOL, it'd be all over the internet and the news and they'd be millions of copies by the time SM even realized WTH was going on 😆

It's a very sleazy tactic, and it leads to an incredibly vicious cycle. I hope SK law does something to prevent people under 18 from signing any contracts by themselves. I'm sure most parents would be able to pick out which part of the contract is unfair and either make them fix it or stop the whole thing before it got too far.

Ugh, but isn't it the fans themselves who keep his company successful?? If they didn't buy their artists albums, they'd have no leg to stand on. I really do NOT like this guy 😕

Yeah, a little 😳 LOL, is that ep on YT? 😆

Thank youu, glad you like it! 😃
