We all see what is happening with JYJ now and the IAG/SM issues that have been going on. The unfair treatment they continue to face is horrible as it is. Please do not create more issues or stress for them (for him). They don’t need it, especially not from their own fans.
I’m really fed up with the constant attempt to prove Jaejoong is some sort of victim. He’s achieved so much and had so many successes, that I would hope more fans would acknowledge that he is fully capable of making his own decisions and taking care of himself. He is after all...
I am a huge fan of JYJ and it's tough being their fan when all their activities are being blocked. It's frustrating and it kind of makes me angry at SM. We all know they are blocking them and they lie to the courts they are not. What do you think about SM using their resources to block JYJ? I personally think JYJ did nothing wrong with their break up - I mean why else would you go to court during the height of popularity if something wasn't severely wrong.
Hi there, thanks for stopping by!
You should be angry - SM is a bully. There is nothing fair nor moral about them using their overbearing influence and resources in the industry to block JYJ and their continued pursuits. It’s also cowardly, as they are well-aware of JYJ’s popularity and are basically perceiving it as a threat to their own standing. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again - what SM is seeking is a monopoly, to essentially be the sole K-pop industry by buying (or ‘weeding out’, in JYJ’s case) competition. As a fan, I want to know exactly where my energy and my money goes when I ‘fangirl’; and furthermore, it’s all about having the power to choose, having room to maneuver between practices and values I agree or don’t agree with and investing support exactly where I want to. It is disempowering when all the music I listen to and all the idols I follow are from the same company; and from a company who likes to play it dirty, apparently. Screw that :(
I'm inclined to side with AKPF's opinion... SM's hand, whether direct or indirectly is still all over this JYJ block. IMO there have been enough commenters within the SK entertainment industry (albeit anonymous for understandable reasons) who have validated SM is the source behind the issue. And let's be honest... SM does have a tendency to act like a butt-hurt teenager when something upsets them. (Past: Mnet/MAMA; More Recently: Music Bank B1A4 Suspected Sajaegi Controversy.)
For me, suuzaaa's argument that broadcasting companies ban celebrities all the time is weak in that news of JYJ activities and/or their individual pursuits in other areas of the industry (i.e., dramas, music videos) have not been banned from being shown on these same broadcasting channels. When a celebrity is put on a broadcast industry blacklist, it's global... not selective.
