Netizens are going CRAZY over this idol for one special reason

Posted on











park

It seems that one of the most attractive physical traits in male idols for fans is broad shoulders, something that is purely genetic and unchanging.
Recently, a fan on Pann (a Korean website similar to Reddit) made an entire post focused on JYJ’s Park Yoochun; drawing attention specifically to his broad shoulders.

The user dubbed Yoochun a “Shoulder Gangster.” In Korean slang, the term gangster is attached to a certain feature, often times physical, to refer to a person who makes fans swoon simply by showing off their feature. In this case, it seems that a recent outfit of Yoochun’s drew much attention to his shoulders and fans were quick to agree!
Koreaboo has translated the original posters comments as well as the photos compiled for the post.
Park Yoochun has truly earned the title of shoulder gangster. He has been like this since debut and still lives up to that name today….
Park Yoochun Shoulders 1
When he’s wearing this knit [sweater]……. ahh……his shoulders..Park Yoochun Shoulders 2
His shoulders are broad enough that he is allowed to brag about them…Park Yoochun Shoulders 3
Seriously, can’t see anything else but his shoulders………..Park Yoochun Shoulders 4
the symbol of masculinity: shoulders, God given shoulders ㅠㅠPark Yoochun Shoulders 5
Freaking handsome ㅠㅠ Pink suits him well, ah so good looking ㅠㅠPark Yoochun Shoulders 6
Oh how happy I would be if I had a boyfriend like him hahahahaPark Yoochun Shoulders 7
I love you <3 please accept my love hehehePark Yoochun Shoulders 8
The true shot of a shoulder gangsterPark Yoochun Shoulders 9
His face is okay too but his shoulders are more heart fluttering……..Park Yoochun Shoulders 10
Some Netizens agreed while others brought up idols that shared the trait.
[+42, – 50] Why are his shoulders of public interest? hahaha oh, so you have asthma, now? I pity my dongsaeng [referring to Yoochun] who will serve active duty
[+31, -10] I went to their fan meeting, his shoulders are 52 cm (20.5 inches)….bbbbPark Yoochun Shoulders 11
[+28, -5] You could’ve just posted one picture, this many pictures is a bit much. We all know that Park Yoochun’s shoulders are broad, don’t do oba about it. Let’s do in moderation. I’m ashamed for him, should I post Kim Woobin‘s shoulders instead?
[+19, -1] Song Joong Ki Song Joong Ki Shoulders
[+16, -5] He gets lovelier as he ages hehe the pink sweater suits him..
[+14, -3] Look at his shoulders…I want to hug him…. hehehehehe

This small outdoor restaurant thrives because of Jaejoong’s fans

Posted on














Kim Jaejoong
It seems that a small pojangmacha (small outdoor tented restaurant) has seen a significant increase in business since JYJ’s Jaejoong paid a visit to the stand before his enlistment.
The restaurant owner posted a conversation between him and the idol through Kakao Talk on Instagram and though the post has since been deleted, fans captured a screenshot. The photo was captioned, “This was the Kakao Talk I had with Jaejoong-ssi.
Daeho and Jaejoong
Jaejoong: Oho”I was out to spend a night outside [of military base] ~ Also your shop is flourishing
Jaejoong: That’s great!
Restaurant Owner: Yes~^^! It is all thanks to you!! Fans really love you!!

Jaejoong previously made a visit to the restaurant on March 28th prior to his enlistment where he left little notes around the restaurant, turning the restaurant into a popular fan location. The restaurant is named Jjogalipocha in Sinonhyeon-dong. Meanwhile, he recently received 1st place at his military training graduation.

[TRANS] Han Ye-ri mentions Yuchun in an interview


 photo 1423122421.jpg
How was Park Yuchun in playing the role of Dong-sik?
He’s a person I’m really thankful for. He took good care of me always as Dong-sik, and made me be as focused as much as him. I guess I can’t help it that I have affections for Yuchun-ssi because he is Dong-sik. And since I went into it trying to do my best the whole time, I also had a lot of thoughts, like, ‘If I can betray this person’s true feelings, I am not going to. He is shooting his first movie with so much dedication, I should work hard too’.

[TRANS] 150617 Finding an idol who is to my taste – Kim Junsu

#Male idol whose alias is ‘씹덕KING’

There are a lot of male idols who are cuter than women and has more aegyo than women. The meaning of ‘씹덕’ transitioned from otaku(the term commonly used in Japan for a person called an enthusiast among the levels of mania about something) when otaku crossed over into Korea; and is born from the term otaku+otaku=ten(십)-taku [T/N: ten times an otaku?]. In other words, ‘씹덕KING’ has to do with people who have fatal cuteness and charm that cannot help becoming a mania craze over.
 photo PS14072800109.jpg
JYJ Junsu: Although Junsu is a big idol senior to the rookie idols pouring in, he is the stature that cannot be caught up with as an originator anyways. Junsu has been in charge of cuteness since he made his debut. With eyes that change into the shape of water-drops when he laughs, a puppy-like, good-natured impression, and his voice as charming as fatal, that wants to be heard as much as repeatedly; he has all the qualifications of a ‘씹덕KING’.

Hidden story behind Kim Jun-su's first TV appearance in 6 years


Updated : June 18 2015

On April 30, Korean superstar Kim Jun-su appeared on niche TV music show “EBS Space Gonggam” after six years away from the program.

Kim opened his performance with “Love Like a Snowflake” to a warm reception, but broke down in tears at the end of the concert.

A month later, the show’s producer, Lee Hye-jin, leaked the story behind Kim Jun-su’s appearance which had generated a buzz among his fans.

“We select singers who stick to their own artistic values and are able to deliver their songs live so that singers and audiences can communicate,” she explained in her article in TV & Radio Writers Journal, a monthly magazine run by the Korea TV & Radio Writers Association.

“Kim Jun-su met our standards with his conspicuous vocal and artistic talent. Fans flooded our bulletin board to express their gratitude, but all those things aside, we hoped this mega star Kim Jun-su could bring all his musical talent to our stage.”

Kim also said, “I always have expressed my dream of performing a small venue concert during several interviews, and it finally came true.”

Kim Jun-su, having been a passionate presence in musicals, is gearing up for the musical “Death Note,” which will run from June 20 to Aug. 9.

The JYJ Law To Prevent Broadcast Bans Failed To Pass Bill Screening


BY Adrienne Stanley | Jun 17, 2015 10:21 AM EDT

(Photo : C-Jes Entertainment )
According to a June 17 report published in the business section of the Korean outlet News 1, the bill which has been commonly referred to as the JYJ Law, failed to pass through a National Assembly subcommittee.
Lawmakers were sat on the subcommittee expressed concerns over the bill, citing its potential to harm agencies and broadcasters. The subcommittee called for modifications, which would be fair and practical for all parties. "The original legislative intent of this law allows for a very high probability of misuse and abuse," said one member of the subcommittee.
The law did not pass its initial screening, due to similar concerns regarding the language contained in the bill and the potential to economically injure the businesses which could be involved in future cases. 
On April 14, the bill known as the JYJ Law was proposed by Assemblywoman Choi Min Hee. Assemblywoman Choi sits on the Ministry of Science, ICT, and Future Planning. An article published on April 15 by Hankyung outlined her intent behind the bill. "Part of the issue is the agency is preventing broadcast offers and appearances," said Assemblywoman Choi. "There is also a need for sanctions on broadcasting companies who are doing the same things." 
The alleged avarice against JYJ began in 2009 when Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu launched a lawsuit against SM Entertainment, in an attempt to dissolve their exclusive contract with the agency. A lengthy legal battle ensued between the idols and their former company, which resulted in alleged bans against promotional activities, including participation in music chart shows.
In July 2013, the Korea Fair Trade Commission placed a restraining order against SM and future attempts by the company to interfere with JYJ's promotions. However, the group was allegedly unable to return to programs which continued to enforce the ban.
The first televised music appearance by a member of JYJ since their 2009 lawsuit occurred on April 13. Junsu appeared on the EBS program, "Space Sympathy," marking the first time he performed on a Korean music program, in six years. Other artists who have cited such bans include former TRAX member, No Min Woo.

[★BREAKING] “JYJ Law” to prevent unfair treatment of artists fails to pass

Posted on


























C-JeS Entertainment
Image: C-JeS Entertainment
On June 17th, it was reported that the “JYJ Law” has failed to pass.
The “JYJ Law,” which was proposed by Assemblywoman Choi Min Hee, a member of The Ministry of Science, ICT, and Future Planning in April, was designed for the purpose of protecting artists from unfairly being banned from broadcast. The basis for such legislation being proposed was the ban that had been enacted on artists such as JYJ’s members and TRAX’s No Min Woo.
Official statements indicated this may have happened as, “We feel that this law may become abused because of the ambiguous nature of fair. For example, if a fanclub claims that something is ‘unfair’ that cannot be the judge of unfairness.
The details of the law, however, are still undergoing editing in order to attempt to be passed again.

[NEWS] 150602 If all 3 of JYJ get discharged, is it possible for them to appear on a broadcast?

Will active-duty-dols (T/N: idols who’ll serve their military service) JYJ be able to make a comeback on a broadcasting stage?

On the first day of June, news of JYJ member Park Yuchun’s enlistment reached our ears. This is the second time, following Kim Jaejoong who had enlisted last March 31. According to his agency C-JeS Entertainment side, Park Yuchun is enlisting on August 27. There remains time a little less than 3 months before he enlists.

Hereby the member in JYJ who will maintain his social status as a member of society for the time being is only Kim Junsu; who’ll visit audiences with his upcoming musical ‘Death Note’. On this, fans are also vocalizing their regrets. Since the news [about Yuchun’s enlistment] broke out, in the JYJ-related community, saddened voices pouring out constantly. It’s the situation where many fans were saying, “There only remains Junsu now. It’ll be lonely, what am I going to do?”, “Kim Junsu’s musical and solo album are good but I’m sad thinking about losing a JYJ member for a while”, and expressed their sadness.
 photo 201506011041056310_1.jpg
Meanwhile, there is a reaction that stood out solely among the texts left by fans. It is a mixed question that laments “If all three of them get discharged, can they appear as JYJ on a broadcast?”

Having split from TVXQ earlier in 2012, JYJ(Kim Junsu, Park Yuchun, Kim Jaejoong) released albums consistently, but haven’t appeared on a broadcast since. There were continuously rumors of external pressure, but it is difficult to provide definite evidence about this actually. Their broadcast schedule that merely had been set, falls through again and again; and there were many speculations about it. On this, it is difficult for JYJ to appear on a broadcast, and the fact itself is publicly known even by broadcasts actually. Making an appearance alone on EBS ‘Space Empathy’ last April 30, Kim Junsu had said, “Though I am a singer, I am glad to greet you with this music broadcast after 6 years. It was difficult to make an appearance on a broadcast for reasons unknown during the 6 years,” and expressed his sadness during it.

Last April 14, Assemblywoman Choi Min-hee of the New Politics Alliance for Democracy proposed a revised law to the National Assembly, for a broadcast bill with contents prohibiting actions that block the appearance of an artist without an obvious reason. This law is called the ‘JYJ Bill’ and received responses among many netizens. When he heard this news, Park Yuchun also bared his honest mind, saying, “It feels like things are getting better where I can speak out about it now. We are in a position where we should be more thankful about it since we will be able to work in a better environment,” at SBS drama ‘The Girl Who Sees Smells’ press conference.

However, although it has been 6 years and their broadcast activities were close to non-existent as singers during the time, JYJ members have consistently established themselves. Kim Junsu had received a lot of love as a solo singer and musical actor, while Park Yuchun and Kim Jaejoong had as actors.

In Park Yuchun’s case, he received favorable reviews in ‘The Girl Who Sees Smells’, which is his last work before he enlists; and will be able to leave the office for his post for a while with much lighter steps. For Kim Junsu, there is high hopes from fans to be expected of him, too, with a work where he’ll show an excellent performance more than ever, up ahead in musical ‘Death Note’ that has performances slated from June 20. In Kim Junsu’s case, it is still not decided about when he will enlist into the army. He is expected to stay active, filling in for the gap of his two members for the time being first.

The projected discharge date for Kim Jaejoong –the first to enlist from JYJ– is December 30, 2016. If he get discharged followed by Park Yuchun and up to Kim Junsu, side by side, they will be ‘active-duty-dols’ JYJ. Can the three members of JYJ stand on a broadcasting stage when they return from the army? It seems fans are also looking forward to it as much as singer JYJ.

[TRANS] 150614 2015 Dramas in the First Half of the Year – Return of the King… ★ Report card for Park Yuchun who return to the small screen

 photo 2015040920235671497_20150409202546_1.jpg
◆ Park Yuchun, box-office invincibility + acting ability

Standing high in place as a representative actor in his 20s to be considered out of the rising stars for the next generation, Park Yuchun is leading his best golden days, imparted with 3 beats of popularity, cinematic quality, up to hot topic for every work he appears in.

Set to enlist into the army up ahead in August, Park Yuchun repeats his growth to grow in each and every works of his, and has established himself as the best example of acting-dol-turned-actors. In particular, in SBS ‘The Girl Who Sees Smells’ that recently ended, Park Yuchun drew attention, from the first episode, with action that does not spare himself physically and up to unparalleled bone-dislocation acting. Swallowing up the home theater in one gulp again, he put from sobbing acting to comic acting that’s a turnabout for him in the persona named Choi Mugak, and completed the best ever character who hadn’t been seen until now.

Also, he captivated even women’s hearts with an image that was seemingly gruff yet considerate with the most care, in front of Shin Se-kyung who he was working together with. He pretended not to show concern on the surface, but had a side where he carried a drunk Shin Se-kyung on his back when she got kicked out of her comedy troupe, and had caused female viewers to lose sleep as a 100% pure romanticist when showing the ‘standard rule of a something man(T/N: the status of a guy friend before he becomes a boyfriend)‘ as he gives a surprise kiss filled with apt push-and-pull and energy. In addition to that, he captured viewers’ attention while heightening the dramatic tension by fully immersing himself, up to doing action brimming with liveliness.
