Life Journey


Journey of life is like the interaction 
between paper and pen
It doesnt matter if the past is stained, 
the future will always be like a blank paper,
ready to be filled with content.
What is more important is you
 focus on the present.

shared by JYJ3.net

Among the 'famous' incidents happened:

Eventually JYJ continue to promote Jeju Island as one of the New Seven Wonders on their own SNS.

3. JYJ's Junsu Gets Bamboozled by SBS
JYJ‘s Junsu was scheduled to perform at the 32nd National PARA Games Opening Ceremony, which was broadcasted by SBS on October 8, 2014. 
They printed his name on the tickets and promoted that he would be promoting in the event. They even introduced Junsu performance as the last act of the night BUT...
When the moment Junsu appeared on stage, the camera stopped rolling, and SBS call it a day. Despite that, Junsu gave his best performance without any proper lighting, and put on a big smile in his face.

There are sooooooo many of such incidents happened since their debut JYJ, but most importantly,
JYJ NEVER GIVE UP, and persevered till the end...

Despite being unable to carry out promotional activities, and 'banned' from variety shows & TV programme, others might have given up and move on...
but NOT JYJ, instead
  • They fully utilize the usage of SNS, as a promotional tools
  • Participate in dramas, musical and other opportunities to make some 'uninterupted' public appearance.
  • They chose to start off humbly, as a new group using their initial, (J)aejoong (Y)oochun & (J)unsu rather than making used of their established status as the legendary ex-DBSK member.
The OUTCOME: 
1. Junsu is recognized as the best musical actor

10. Most IMPORTANTLY, never ever lose hope.








JYJ - The Legendary Survivors (Part 1)



We wills start off  with DBSK 13 years contract.

As we know, DBSK originally consists of:

Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun, Kim Junsu, Shim Changmin & Jung Yunho
The 5 of them debuted under SM in 2009, and soon rose to stardom and became a legendary boyband in the Kpop industry.
Despite at the peak of popularity, JYJ risked their career and filed a lawsuit against SM. 

Here is the ugly truth behind their success.

THE SLAVE CONTRACT:
1. SM took all the earnings from all DBSK activities.
2. The copyright of the member's self-composed songs is registered under SM. - no matter what, the members cant perform those songs without SM permission
3. If the contract is terminated by all means, DBSK will have to pay triple fold of the promoted fees, and twice amount of the estimated profit to SM.
4. From the income given to DBSK, they have to cover the expenses incurred for overseas promotions, stylists, dancers, and all the staffs.
5. Their album sales must exceed 500,000 copies, or else they will receive 0 income.
6. The members are required to participate in activities despite:
Being injured

  • Sick

Throughout those years, Cassiopeias had been deceived that the members were living a good life, as they never fail to keep their fatigue, and suffering to themselves, and pun on a 'healthy-looking' image

 

In life there is always a limit....
Eventually Jaejoong, Yoochun & Junsu thinks that something was not right, thus a lawsuit was filed to claim their rights...

Organ Donor


If the society could add value to rubbish
by practicing recycling, then they
should not put their organ at waste.
 Organs are non-functional to deceased, but it could give others life a new lease.
So, why bury it 6 feet under, and allow it to rot?

By being a organ donor, you will learn to live a TOP quality life, for the sake of your own and 
potential future recipient. Knowingly that you 
are their hope for a better life. 

We cant live forever, but by being a donor,
we can continue to live on in different bodies.

Love Triangle

A love triangle (also called a romantic love triangle or a romance triangle) is usually a romantic relationship involving three people 
Credit: Wikipedia

But Now

Based on KBS drama Healer
The love relationship involve Jung Hoo true identity; witted and protective Healer, & his fake identity, 
a shy & timid journalist Bong Soo with Young Shin

His confession as Healer

His confession using Bong Soo identity

Bong soo: Rather than having someone who wont appear, cant it be me who is by your side?
Young Shin: Now, you... confessing?
Bong So; Urmmm...think about it, dont need to answer now...
Young shin: Dont need to think, now cannot (*accept your love). Here (*pointed to the heart) no space.
Bong Soo: Because of him?
Young Shin: urmm..Because of him. Sorry.
Bong Soo: Ok. 
Young Shin: End?
Bong soo: Urm. Totally, give up.
Young Shin: Dont feel bad. Your rival is tough. (*Healer) 



***Inner Dialogue***

SJH: I hurt so much, please don't leave me. . . . . I can't take it anymore.
CYS: I'm staying here with you. Will always be here.
 ----CYS sheds his tears and looks in to his eyes----
SJH: Will you . . . . really . . . . be here?
CYS: I won't leave, Never. please . . . .don't cry.
----CYS  slowly lay her lips to comfort him---
CYS: I will be right here, carefully, tenderly, beside you. . .
SJH: . . . CYS. . . .
-----SJH also lock his lips with hers------
SJH: Don't go away. . . .

Young Shin learned to accept the real Jung Hoo.
His personality is a combination of Healer and PBS. Healer is someone who is mentally and physically strong, ingenious, courageous and cunning. But he has no attachs, he is lonely and lives in the shadow. He lives in the fringes of society. Instead, PBS is described a easily scared person who lacks self-confidence, but he is warm, kind, a good listener and takes care of people. He lives amoung the society, has money. His mother is remarried and his father passed away, when he was young. Except the last sentence, PBS is the exact opposite of Healer, but if you put the whole things together, then you'll see JH:
- a lonely person who has abandonment issues, but is longing for love and warmth; but he is strong and isn't afraid of fighting and he takes care of people who he likes - bebebisous33 @soompi

Blind Date


 A bind date is a social engagement between two persons who have not previously met, usually 
arranged by a mutual acquaintance
Credit: Wikipedia

But NOW~

There is a fresh new perspective
Extracted from KBS drama Healer



1. It started off with a fake identity to get close to her
Jung Hoo/Healer intended to get close to Young Shin, as she might be somehow connected to his past. He believed that by getting close to her, he will know more about his roots. 
- An old photo revealed that his father was a friend of Young Shin's father. When he was a child, his father was framed for killing his best friend (Young Shin's father).... The big question is 
"Is This The Truth?"


2. Eventually, his true profession, a mysterious errand guy with codename Healer, is assigned to protect Young Shin from harm, due to the nature of her job as a journalist who uncover the dirty schemes of evil ministers.Young Shin fell for his protective personality, and that is how the blind date started.Since Healer cant reveal his looks to the world, Young Shin agrees to communicate with him with her eyes covered.

3. As time passed, Healer realized that he cant suppressed his affection for Young Shin, and decided to confessed his feeling with a sweet kiss. Once again, Young Shin eyes was covered up.


4. While disguising as a scaredy cat who rans away each time they encounter difficulties, Bong Soo aka Healer manage to 'excuse' himself, and stole some time to transform into Healer, and protects Young Shin from harm without any suspicion.

5. While other times, Healer secretly accompany & protects Young Shin, my following her from rooftop.



6. Their relationship developed, and Young Shin suggested an official date. She is contended enought to just let each other's presence known without meeting up face to face.



7. In short, Young Shin was kept in the dark that her crush is all the while by her side, accompany & protects her with a fake identity (aka Bong Soo)





Explosive Chemistry


On-screen couples with EXPLOSIVE CHEMISTRY

1. Ji Chang Wook & Park Min Young (Healer)

3. Kim Soo Hyun & Jun Ji Hyun

4. Wallace Huo & Tiffany Tang (Perfect Couple)

I shipped them so hard, that I wished that they will extend their romance off screen..... 




Incompetent Leaders


Incompetent leaders serve others
 like providing addictive drugs.
Instead of creating a life-changing opportunity,
they chose to provide monetary contributions.
Such move may ease other's hardship temporarily, 
but it will makes recipients too dependent on it.

Books ARE ALIVE



If you ever ask me, 
what is so interesting about life?
Unconsciously, we are living in a world of books...
If you observe carefully, each individual
 has their own unique (life) story to tell. 
When his/her fate cross-path with ours, 
that is when it became OUR story.

Throughout the beautiful journey, we gain wisdom, learn (life) lessons and experience
 roller coaster rides of emotions. 
So, life is INTERESTING indeed, isnt it?

(*Not) Just A Dream


If you are not pursuing your dream,
you are fueling your limitation

Ups & Downs


Life is like a yoyo, moving ups and downs,
while clinging on a thin vulnerable lifeline. 

(UP) Good times never last, &
(DOWN) Bad times will pass

We will never know when our life will end,
so spend everyday as if today is 
the last day of your life.
