Strong Heart 2012/05/29
“Eunhyuk, JYJ’s Kim Junsu and I were classmates in primary school. We were in Class 6-6 together.” said actress Choi Yoon Young on Tuesday, May 29th’s episode of SBS Strong Heart.
On the episode, she also revealed a letter that Eunhyuk had wrote to her during their primary school days. Near the end of the letter was a line where 12 year old Eunhyuk wrote, “I’m really happy that you say you like me and Junsu.”
Super Junior’s leader Leeteuk then pulled out pictures of the group S.R.D’s pre-debut pictures, and drew attention to the young Kim Junsu in the photo. Co-MC Boom then asked Eunhyuk, “Wow! Junsu-ssi really!! How was Junsu’s popularity then?” To which Eunhyuk replied, “Junsu was popular with the younger girls, while I was popular with the noonas.”
ELF Changmin
The concert itself was full of energy thanks to the passionate performances the duo put on. Towards the end of the concert, however, Yunho began to cry. If you know Yunho, he isn’t one to cry. He barely ever cries actually, even Changmin says so. During the concert, he said, “I am very happy right now because this is a very meaningful concert.”

Leeteuk: When you guys performed on Music Bank and got first place, Yunho looked so surprised and had this speechless expression. He even looked like he might cry, and his lips were all quivering. The two of you couldn’t talk clearly, and were nudging each other, then you went and performed your encore. After that, what kind of congratulatory messages did you receive? Ones that were most touching?
Yunho: I got a lot of messages, from seniors and juniors and everyone… but particularly, the composer of “Why”, Yoo Young Jin. He said, “Don’t forget your current heart and mind, reach for greater heights, become even stronger, do what you want to do and show everyone who you really are.” (started sounding serious/emotional halfway through).
Eunhyuk: Aww, Yunho-sshi, don’t cry. Don’t cry!
Yunho: Ahhh I’m not going to cry!

With the release of Kim Junsu’s solo album, we revisit JYJ’s “Broadcasting Boycott”
Popular group JYJ member Kim Junsu held his first solo concert on the 20th of this month at Jamsil stadium. One fan commented with irritation, “The fact that an artist such as him with such amazing skill and talent is prevented from appearing on broadcast stations is really saddening,” as well as “Just how long will they have such unfair restraints put against them? We have no idea.”
A middle-aged female fan from Yangcheon commented “As a Hallyu Star representative, Junsu has released an album and has started many activities. Does it make any sense at all that we cannot see any news of his activities on broadcast stations?” Furthermore, “We hope that not only Kim Junsu but all JYJ members will be able to showcase their music to the public through broadcast stations as soon as possible.”
Recently, due to a tight deadlock from broadcast stations, JYJ’s inability to appear on music broadcast programs is causing a rise in fans’ resentment. Such resentment rose much more significantly after Kim Junsu’s concert.
On online community boards, fans wrote “Whether it’s because of their skill, their overall presence or their title as South Korea’s best singers, JYJ members are not able to be seen on music broadcast programs” stating that “It is a complete loss to the entire music industry of South Korea.”
As expected, during Kim Junsu’s interview with reporters for his solo album release, Junsu said, “More than anything the most distressing issue was that this album was created under the assumption that I would not be able to perform on various broadcast programs. It is as if it is now a situation where I cannot but use only my own strength/force.”
JYJ had appeared on music broadcasting before, yet their appearance is now often protracted due to the boycott by music broadcasting stations. The three members of JYJ filed an injunction to suspend the validity of their contracts and the court has consistently ruled in favor of the members. The court deemed that JYJ had the freedom to appear on music broadcast stations. However, due to the strong hegemony of power within the entertainment and broadcasting sphere, it is as if the court had no say over the matter.
It cannot be forgotten that despite all this JYJ has been able to consistently spread their fanbase across the world. The members have reached out to different fields of entertainment such as musicals and dramas. This has clearly made their presence stronger as a whole.
As of a few days ago, Kim Junsu’s mv for his title song “Tarantallegra” recently hit a record of 3,000,000+ views. He also topped Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber in Japan on iTune’s rankings. Furthermore, presales for his album broke the 100,000 mark. This clearly demonstrated his immense popularity despite not being able to appear on music broadcasts.
Reasons for disallowing JYJ to perform on TV are weak and unpersuasive. Preventing JYJ from appearing on broadcast stations is a loss for the country and in fact is quite an embarrassment. Broadcast stations would do well to remember that in the future, when looking back at this point in time, there will forever be a “stain” on history/in our memories.
