It’s tomorrow but here we go:
1. You just first understand that when Jaejoong and the others first left, they didn’t necessarily intend to break the band. They didn’t intend to be parted from Yunho and Changmin. The main was goal to depart from SM. So it makes sense perfect sense https://twitter.com/jaejoongsbiceps/status/1308640372608897024
2. That he’d miss them and talk about TVXQ. His main goal wasn’t to “split “ what he worked his off to build for over 6 years, his main goal was to break free from SM. And just because that choice led to splitting the band, doesn’t mean he doesn’t get to miss the band he built or
3. Miss his members and say he loves them. Like I keep reiterating: his ultimate goal wasn’t to break free from TVXQ or his members. I don’t think any part of it was playing the victim and being dramatic. It was his natural reaction to what was happening. And I’ll keep saying it,
4. Just because all 5 of their choices led to this, doesn’t mean that the primary intention was to split/go solo wtv. Thus any of them can very well feel sad and miss the other members.
5. But life goes on, you adapt and learn to be happy with where you are. And that’s why happened to all 5 of them (here, I’m interested in Jaejoong). He moved on, he spread his wings and soared higher. He stopped talking about TVXQ because simply: he moved on, he adapted to the
6. Change, he was able to focus on what he’s doing and where he’s heading, he’s accepted that his (their) choices led to a split and made the best of it. And I can’t stress enough how many times Jaejoong has said that he has no regrets, he’s do it all over again, that he’s truly
7. Happy now and that “now is good”. And it’s corny but: you can see it in his eyes. On stage when he’s performing to HIS fans, he’s the happiest. You can see that glimmer in his eyes and you know he’s living out his dream. You can feel it too. He grew, he adapted, he improved.
8. And now every once in a while, Jaejoong will mention something from his past, a place, a memory, an anecdote. Because it’s HIS past and he can talk about it as much as he wants. It’s his right. You can’t take it away from him or twist and manipulate it how you wish. It’s HIS.
9. Sharing a memory doesn’t mean he wants to go back (reiterating, he said so many times he doesn’t want to), or that he wants to reunite. Missing something doesn’t mean you want to go back. I talk nostalgically about my old school, my old compound, my old apartment and you know
10. What? I’ll even talk lovingly about my best friend that I CHOSE to leave because she was toxic for me, does it mean I want to go back? No. Try to apply that same logic to yourselves and you’ll see where Jaejoong’s coming from. And see how little these few moments from the
11. past are to his current anecdotes and you’ll be reminded that he’s truly happy and where he belongs. You can even count the number of times he’s mentioned his past (and which context) in the last 10 years so that you’ll realize it’s not “constant” and that he’s neither
12. “emoshinki” nor is he by any means hinting a reunion. If you just take what Jaejoong posts and says for what it is, without mistranslating (already happened), misconstruing (also happened), twisting, embellishing and imagining (guess what, also happened). You’ll see where he
13. Coming from. Last part, about Jaejoong “constantly” singing TVXQ sings. Again, please enumerate the times Jaejoong has actually sung TVXQ songs in the last 10 years and see if it’s really “constant”. Before repeating something like a mindless parrot, please fact-check. Yes,
14. This part in particular is directed to you dear ot2s. But that aside, what’s so wrong with Jaejoong singing TVXQ songs? He was the souls after all, his voice has always been the most prominent and a lot of songs relied heavily on him. Many of his current supportive fans love
15. His voice in those songs and would love to hear him sing them again, if it can legally be done, what’s wrong with it? Is he selling it and competing with TVXQ? Is he stealing audience or sales from TVXQ? No, then what’s wrong? He has his new, extremely successful music
16. (Kind reminder that despite the ban and lack of promotions, lottre exposure and few albums, and tons of problems with album stocking, Jaejoong is still the 5th best selling solo artist in South Korea) he’s extremely successful and has his own color that he’s known for. Saying
18. He’s “known” just for singing TVXQ songs once in a blue moon is delusional and false, again , fact check people. His new career in Japan had been taking off pretty great, many Oricon (and other chart) weekly #1s, overall great sales, he trends basically every month, he’s
19. More public exposure and even nonfans are greatly fond of him. So to sum it up, his solo career is doing AMAZING. His current works and music are performing GREAT. Anyone that thinks his success is based off of him “leeching of TVXQ” or “singing TVXQ songs” is in all honesty
20. Delusional, and I’ve shown you proof why that’s false. So again, if his current supportive fans like hearing him re-sing some of his older TVXQ songs once in a blue moon, just on concerts, what’s wrong with it? Is it harming anyone? Nope. Absolutely not. I think that’s the
21. End 😅 but one last thing: Jaejoong talking about JYJ is absolutely it the same for obvious reasons. There’s a very valid reason why neither Jaejoong nor Junsu ever mention JYJ since likely 2015. It’s not the same. End of thread.
