Article: JYJ Kim Junsu, despite success of solo album, no invites to any year-end award ceremonies 'bitter'
Source: E-News via Nate
1. [+672, -127] Can we please see him on public broadcast already!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. [+613, -118] I want to see him perform on stage on a public broadcast channel..
3. [+597, -123] I want to see him perform on a music program on public broadcast. He's not lacking in anything in singing or dancing... It's so sad that we can only see his stages at concerts ㅜㅜ
4. [+126, -16] This is the grim reality of our country. Anyone with power can control even what the public sees or listens to. And they call this Hallyu... Can they proudly call themselves a country of cultural exports?
5. [+122, -14] The lawsuit's already over and the court has already ordered that JYJ be allowed to promote as they wish and yet they are still not being treated right!!! They have no excuse this time!!!!! So dirty!!!!!!!! JYJ fighting!!!!!!

This was quite expected..
ReplyDeleteThe only reason SM gave in is because JYJ dropped their money claim. It doesn't mean the entire industry is going to allow JYJ back in like normal.
They are setting them as an example to other idols not to try and break free as well. If they don't do it now more idols will follow and sue their agency.
:(
ReplyDeleteDoes the industry have some rule like "never -betray- your company"...? Junsu is one of the best solo, I feel so bad for him, and JYJ :|
ReplyDeleteNot surprising at all. All quiet on the Eastern front...
ReplyDeleteThat makes sense, but it's still not right.
ReplyDeleteIt's so frustrating..
ReplyDeleteGood point, but I don't think it will work. If you push idols too far more lawsuits are sure to come no matter how companies try to oppress or intimidate them. These companies can't go around thinking that they can do whatever they want. Koreans already know how shady they are so that's why they're siding more with JYJ and will probably do the same for other idols in the future.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm not worried about JYJ because it looks like they can overcome anything!
tbh they dont really deserve to be in any year-end ceremony since the only little success they have now is in acting and junsu solo was actually a flop not success
ReplyDeleteTbh you are obviously ttying hard to make things up. Why can't you just cheer on other people success. I see you in every page of IU JYJ calling out names . Don't you have other things to do?
DeleteAnd the article is talking about how Junsu is not invited to any year end ceremonies
DeleteYou don't need to have a widespread success like Psy or Busker Busker to be invited to an award show do you?
Please..be a little mature
Junsu's album sold a lot, so I wouldn't call it a flop. It's still more successful than some of the artist that were invited.
ReplyDeleteIt's not right... it really isn't right. Junsu, keep killing them with kindness. Good things come to those who wait, and at least the public already is aware of this bullshit.
ReplyDeleteWhy is @anonymoose always making up stuff, what exactly do u get out of downplaying a persons success? Junsu's album was one of the best solos album sales wise this year. Without even promoting it, not only that but his OST did really well too...lets give credit where credit is due yeah?
ReplyDeleteJunsu's album sold over 100k copies. He deserves to be there as much as other artists who sell less copies than his. If you know nothing, kindly shut your mouth.
ReplyDeletejunsu was a flop ?? you are a blind or really ignorance or simply just a hater ^^ and i suppose you are the last one :D ^^
ReplyDeletetbh you're an idiot! :)
ReplyDeleteOh look, a moose is trying to have an opinion! Bla bla bla... SMH
ReplyDeleteJunsu digital sales were not that good.. so I kind of agree with you.
ReplyDeleteI beg to differ. Digital sales normally reflected the general public's fave or the trend. Given that none of the trio can promote their songs(and Junsu's solo album specifically for this year) I doubt they have any chance to appeal to the public
DeleteBut you have to give prop to him. The album is amazing nonetheless.
Anyway back to the points, seeing how gazillions of nugu can go on music shows and perform on award show.. I don't think it's right someone who enjoys this level f success are not even invited to a year-end award ceremony
This is just shady
Well, considering the guy couldn't promote. And some of the artists that were invited also had poor digital sales.
ReplyDeleteHe shud have won the netizen popularity award!he was leading the votes...but i guess melon decided to be bias again...music awards=BS!
ReplyDeletemany artists don't promote their songs like idols do.
ReplyDeleteJunsu is a talented guy but his songs this year were boring.
Than Super Junior and Exo must hav been mega mega mega mega flops.
ReplyDeleteDespite promoting like a gazillion weeks on broadcast
Junsu, sj, exo = same level of flop this year. Actually both digital and album sales wise sj>junsu>exo
DeleteThat's your own personal opinion, though.
ReplyDeleteIf you're calling Junsu's album—which he could not promote at all—a "flop", then I wonder what you would call all the other artists who sold LESS than him but were invited to year-end ceremonies?
ReplyDeleteHis album reached #1 on the Korean AND Japanese charts even without promotions. And a lot of the reviews spoke highly of his album as well.
Junsu didn't top oricon japan wtf are you talking about? Even in korea sj did better digitally than junsu with SFS And you know how bad SFS is. His solo album is a huge flop.
DeleteIf they choose to make an example out of him, it'll only turn the public against the industry. There is nothing honorable about what these companies are doing.
ReplyDeleteThe people who SHOULD be made examples of are the FUCKING ASSHOLES that create inhumane 14 year-long contracts. If they actually had a conscience, they would have realized a long time ago that forcing young teenagers to work like dogs under such shitty conditions, NONE of this would have happened.
The public already knows how dirty Korea's entertainment industry is. K-pop will not flourish if it keeps going the way it is now and the oh-so-great Hallyu movement has already reached a wall that cannot be breached.
If this is what Korea's industry thinks is right, then I'm going to have a hell of a time watching it all go up in flames.
Fuck this.
Go back to jyj3 or whatever shithole site you came from
DeleteDid anonymoose made another account?
DeleteThis 'Bab' sounds as desperate as him/her
Hahah
Just saying :)
I gree wih the fact that his album (digital sales) were not that good...but then again that means that SUJU,FT Island And almost all boys groups are flop they dont really deserve to be there neither.
ReplyDeleteAlmost all boy groups, yes. But fyi ft island is not part of that. Their songs especially Severly did really really well this year. Boy groups that did well digitally this year: bb, beast, cnblue, ftisland, shinee. Kind of getting there : infinite, block b, teentop, b1a4. Rest are flops.
DeleteNo girl
DeleteFt island flopped hard this year
Educate yourself girl. Fti didn't flop. Junsu did
DeleteHe ranked #10 on Billboard's World Albums Chart, and set a record on Korea's Gaon Charts and you still call it a flop lol
ReplyDeleteeverybody knew that nothing was going to change so..
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way, I just wanna see him perform T_T
ReplyDeleteI want to see Junsu perform, dammit! What's the legal excuse for them not to perform? Is there one? I'm not too involved with all this lawsuit trivia, tbh. All I want is for JYJ to be able to promote. /flips table/ Junsu is one of my favourite artists, and I've loved his music since Intoxication ;_;
ReplyDeleteanonymoose
ReplyDeleteSo uninformed. First you say "they" and "acting". Did you read the original article? The story was about Junsu. Junsu is still singing FULL-TIME and compared to even artists under huge management companies with 5 times the resources his SOLO WAS A SUCCESS. You say he does not deserve to be at ANY YEAR END CEREMONIES???? This year alone he has accomplished more than any other solo K-pop artist. With 2 full Music Videos (with one in english) 2 Albums ...a Full album with 11 new songs (8 self written songs) and an English mini album. A SOLO Asian tour of 6 concerts in 5 countries. A solo World tour of 6 concerts in 4 countries.
2 top selling OSTs. (And not to mention..32 sold out Musical performances) Show me one other K-pop solo artist who has done even close to what he has done in 2012. The ISSUE was that HE WAS NOMINATED. And ALL NOMINEES (no matter what their sales) were INVITED TO ATTEND. That was the point. Melon, although he was a qualifying nominee by their own ranking.. chose not to invite him to attend the event, when every other nominee was invited. So even though the lawsuit has ended the industry continues to uphold the BAN ....That is the point....
a flop? a flop? A FLOP???
ReplyDeleteWell sweetheart, GIVE A DAMN NAME OF ANY SOLO ARTISTS WHO COULDN'T PROMOTE IN ANY BROADCAST PROGRAM YET SURPASSED MORE THAN 150K COPIES AND HELD A CONCERT IN 12 CITIES!
stupid broadcast station! =_=
ReplyDeleteanyway thank you for not inviting Junsu to your shows so he'll be able to focusing more on his upcoming 3 days concert! pfff
wait untill JYJ able to perform everywhere in tv stations... the heaven of LIVE singing! :x
Just here to see butthurt fans rage away..
ReplyDeleteare pple seriously stupid or what!? how could they expect JYJ to be able to promote and attend award shows!? like comon use some common sense. oh and don't give me the crap about SM preventing them. its no longer SM that is preventing them. its the WHOLE FLIPPING INDUSTRY! u know why? becuz JYJ stood against the main principles and ideals of the kpop industry. they stood against the WHOLE system that every single entertainment company in korea is part of and fought against it.
ReplyDeleteinviting them to promote on their shows would be like having those companies tell their idols that they can freely file a lawsuit and breach their contract with the said company once they are famous and have a massive fanbase.
no company in their right mind would support such individuals unless they have a death wish.
the opinion of few netizens doesnt equal the opinion of all of koreans. most koreans have never liked JYJ even before the lawsuit thanx to their old scandals particularly Yoochun and Jaejoong. Yoochun has always been known as a massive womanizer in korea with loads of sex scandals. its just that his korean fans dont want international fans to know about his dirty reputation. Jaejoong is well known to be gay/bi in korea since his debut days but SM always tried to keep the info on the low down even though koreans were very much aware of it since many had already seen him cruising around gay bars since the old days. Not to mention Jaejoong being adopted worked against him since koreans find adopted children disgraceful.
ReplyDeleteBetrayal is a big thing in korea and so most koreans right now think that JYJ deserved what they got for betraying SM. u can say whatever u want about SM but reality is whatever u do in Korea, even if u work as a doctor or an engineer, u will still struggle with long hours of work and mediocre pay. TVXQ's contract that was revealed at the beginning of the lawsuit by the court showed that the members did earn a lot of money especially considering that they take in 70% of the profit made overseas including Japan. the public is not some clueless sheep that cries over jaejoong while he bats his girly eyelashes..the public is very much aware of their dirt and is showing indifference to them.
great groups like JYJ get pretty much banned from appearing on tv and yet "singers" like hyuna practically host strip shows on the same network ???
ReplyDeleteAnd your post was necessary because...?
ReplyDeletelol...............................
ReplyDeleteyour facts are probably from that truetvxq blog or whatever right?
That blog also claimed that JYJ would lose the lawsuit......but the court was usually on JYJ's side.
And also......for all your 'rumors' you have no facts. Yoochun at least is respected now because he cares for his mother and is like a father to his brother. Koreans only dislike him because of the army enlistment thing.
If all the things you listed were true than there would be more netizen comments that would claim these things......and don't use JYJ fans get there first as an excuse XD
Jyj will get more recognition overseas!jyj fighting!i hope they release a great album...and award ceremonies cant afford to ban them anymore
ReplyDeleteikr if chris brown goes to ceremonies after beating the fuck out of rihanna then oppars should have the oportunity as well :3
ReplyDeleteDuh. They are cockblocked in a major way.
ReplyDeleteI think this is the reason more idols should break free. Make examples out of those companies and networks instead.
ReplyDelete....?? you do know that 200,000 people logged in trying to purchase the 20,000 tickets which were on sale for his latest korean concert right?..and he has sold out every musical performance he has been in...yup, koreans must seriously hate junsu...OTL
ReplyDeleteFyi, that's junsu's FANS buying those tickets, not the korean general public.
DeleteAs usual allmighty homin' stand! The idiot Ruby! Hahaaa
ReplyDeletefeel lazy to read ur comment, coz as usual full of hate and shit! Hahaa
