[JYJ] JYJ Issued Apology for the Recent Violence Controversy

Kim Jaejoong has released an official apology concerning the sasaeng assault controversy that has surfaced in the past couple of days.

On March 8, Kim Jaejoong and the other JYJ members held a press conference in Santiago, Chile at the Raddison Hotel for the JYJ 2012 Latin America tour. During this conference, the members opened up about the sasaeng controversy.

The members confessed that ever since they debuted in 2004, they have had to endure extremely painful moments because of sasaeng fans.

JYJ’s Kim Junsu even stated “they use our identification to expose our private phone calls and also place GPS trackers on our cars to monitor our every move. There were instances of breaking and entering where fans would take pictures of us while sleeping, try to kiss us, and steal our private items. Some fans even hired taxis to collide into our cars to see us in person.”

“Our lives began to fall apart as we would be groped, touched, and defiled every moment of the day. We, as humans, should at least be able to ask for a bare minimum standard of living, but instead we are forced to live in indescribable pain”.

Kim Jaejoong stated “We want to give an apology for our past behavior. We are sorry that we caused our fans to worry about us and that we forced them to share our pain.”

He added,  “In the future we will think about those who love us whenever we are facing situations which are mentally difficult and will try to act more responsibly. Because of those who support us through the pain we go through, we will try not to break down again.” He then finished with “For those fans who always cherish and support us on stage, I will do my best.”

    Why didnt he apologize who repeatily hitting them? He is pretty much saying they deserved it. (Even though they did deserve it) a man should never hit a female. I dont support it. Violence against violence is never the answer. Did jaejoong problem get solve by hitting multiple girls? (duh apparently no) it was just a way of him blowing off some steam. Instead of resolving to physically abusing others, are they THAT poor to hire one body guard to go where they go? It’s okay to be mad, it’s okay to swear, but to repeatily hit someone…. seriously? There is no excuse to that, no matter how much they cross the line…. a man should never hit a female. I’m very dissapointed.

      so if it was a female who hit a man it would be ok? Those 2 comment really pissed me of. because Jaejoong first, care really a lot about his true fans, and he said it himself “For those fans who always cherish and support us on stage, I will do my best.” And second what “There is no excuse to that, no matter how much they cross the line…” How could you said that? You don’t even know what are they enduring, they endure it since 2004, I don’t think you would react differently. What really pissed me of is that @lisasulli91 speaks about the gender here, I’m considered as feminist but I don’t see why here the gender count. They are human being and being a male or female isn’t the problem here. And your “are they THAT poor to hire one body guard to go where they go?” are you kidding me?? They hired body guard but they are (like i said early) Human being they have the right to go freely wherver they want. They aren’t some kind of robot which we use just for distraction and when the robbot does just one fault it’s the end, only ONE fault. Is it that difficult to understand them?? I don’t think so. Because they don’t deserve to be bashed over this. Anyway it’s my point of view, I don’t care if you do not agree but yours comments really pissed me of

    I think i’ve gone mad. You guys would LOVE to think they are only beating sasaeng fans? No… they take it out on any fan who gets in there way and annoys or irritates them or plaining just asks for a autograph. Since they are frusterated and no longer can tolerate fans who wanna be near them in general… i question there love for there fans. Now that fans can only do there job as supporting them online, at their concerts, and watch from afar. That’s how it should be. Otherwise you’re gonna piss them off.
