To Jaejoong on Jan 26 2011
I think Jaejoong's real birthday is Feb 4, so I will celebrate in my own way at that time. However, he does celebrate it on Jan 26, so I was thinking about him today. And this metaphor-riddled piece came out. Can you see all the metaphors contained below? (dude, don't steal or take out without a link back to this page).
Pale as clouds swaying to an unknown heart, moving silent and hiding itself no longer,
Rising and falling and rising again, he contains the spirit of the 3 ideals, iiko Jaejoong,
It seems as if those with loyalties to SM are hard at work to discredit the lawsuit between JYJ (Junsu, Yoochun and Jaejoong), and their former Korean management company, SM Entertainment. Fans are fighting mad at what seems to be an attempt to turn public opinion away from JYJ and put undeserved pressure on those who want to allow the group access to the Korean airwaves.
Other SM artists got slapped down -- sometimes by some of their own fans -- for publicly jumping into the dispute between SM and JYJ. Now another outside 3rd party has jumped into the fray in what looks like an attempt to affect the Court's decision in JYJ's lawsuit.
An organization calling itself the Korean Entertainment Producers' Association (KEPA) released a statement allegedly expressing negative concern about what effect the lawsuit filed by JYJ, and former Super Junior member Hangeng, will have on the entertainment industry.
Among KEPA's blustering nonsense includes an accusation that JYJ only filed suit for "personal monetary profit". It doesn't seem to worry KEPA that this is a flat-out lie based on the actions of JYJ since the lawsuit.
...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". :P 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.
