News swirling the past few days revolve around two issues: JYJ’s South American concerts, and unauthenticated recordings released by a dubious Korean source (Dispatch) of JYJ members either talking about or in the midst of being harassed by “sasaeng” fans.
Upon hearing this latest suspiciously timed report, my first instinct was to note the timing of its release and the lack of video to accompany it.
The case between JYJ and SM Entertainment has yet to reach its final conclusion, so when something seems to come out of nowhere with the intent to tarnish JYJ in some way, it seems to coincide with a negative court ruling or terrible news for SM.
Some have suggested this JYJ controversy was intentionally pushed by Dispatch to purposely cover up a larger scandal with South Korea’s version of The White House, called ‘The Blue House’. The Blue House is said to have requested the destruction of evidence concerning illegal investigations of civilians.
More interesting, however, is the negative report has opened the door to a bigger problem: “stalkers”( also called “PRIVATES”) who are allowed to engage in dangerous harassment by chasing celebs around Korea without being prosecuted.
