Who is that? It’s Yoochun reportedly preparing to star in a drama for BeeTV. BeeTV is a broadcasting service for cellphones. It is partly founded by AVEX, which is the company that manages Tohoshinki (TVXQ / Dong Bang Shin Ki) in Japan.
While the vast majority of TVXQ (Tohoshinki / DBSK) fans are greatly concerned about the group’s current situation, there are a few who have taken it upon themselves to spazz in an unwarranted way. Some have even threatened to delete their TVXQ-related youtube accounts or stop using the phrase ‘Always Keep the Faith’.
Don’t let this post fool you into thinking that there is a fan problem. There’s no problem with fan support, as far as what I’ve seen. But there are things I have to say about that type fair-weather attitude in general.
The phrase ‘fair-weather fans’ have plagued individual artists and groups since the first boyband in history was ensnared in a situation beyond its control.The first time a crisis happens is not the time to give up on the very people you claimed to have admired for so long.
The problem with such overly dramatic actions is that they change absolutely nothing. What’s worse is that it shows just how fickle and shallow an incredibly tiny percentage of certain fan support may be.

Despite continuing to set records in Japan, TVXQ’s Japanese management company AVEX announced that there will be an indefinite hold on activities for the 5 members in Japan.
Solo projects will still go forward but the halt to activities was decided after “the 5 members…repetitive discussions with officials from both Japan and Korea” according to translated reports.
TVXQ’s Japanese fanclub’s website was flooded with more than 1500 emails in the couple of hours after the announcement.
These are the times in which the connection and love for each other will be tested. They love each other too much and they will find their way back to each other as soon as external interference from SM is removed (either consensually or forcibly). The red string of destiny ties these guys together in a way I have not seen before.

I already did everything I could. In the end, the result is a bitter one. I will do my best to support their decision. If it is what they wish for, I believe that I should do everything I could within my limitation to support all of them who are already flying high. It doesn’t matter what my standpoint is, my feelings are no different from the sadness of every Tohoshinki’s fan.
TVXQ member Jaejoong (Jejung) recently did a photoshoot for An-An magazine and some of the pics are making their way around the internet. Check out Jaejoong pulling you in with those eyes:
