JYJ, Visa Denial Changes The Bad Situation ‘Crisis into Opportunities’
U.S. visa application is denied, yet the concert showcases progress normally despite difficult challenges, JYJ chose to keep his promise to share a stage with the fans .
On the past 12th in the morning, group JYJ (Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu) got their US performing Visa (P1) denied, hence the normal progress of their showcase wasn’t able to continue. Regarding this matter, many entertainment industry officials threw concern gaze as it would be a burden for the group to step in United States known as world’s largest music market without performing visa.

JYJ To Get Replaced By…Big Bang?
Although Avex has held on to a contract with TVXQ and JYJ for around 4-5 years now it seems that’s all about to change cause as they say “out with the old in the with new”
With JYJ’s contract officially over with avex the company has their eyes on Japan’s 2nd most popular K-pop male group, Big Bang
See although BIG BANG is currently part of Universal Music Japan (where rival groups from SME like SNSD are) rumors have it the group is planning to join avex and replace JYJ.
Avex already has a contract with 2NE1 so it wouldn’t come as a surprise if this were to occur in order to keep the YG “family” united.
In either case if this does occur it sadly seems the TVXQ/JYJ Dynasty will officially end as Japan makes way for BIG BANG Era.
THOUGH NOTE: people aren’t just gonna forget about TVXQ overnight, Big Bang has been in Japan for over a year and the group has yet to crack at no.1 single or album, and it took TVXQ 5 years to achieve a no.1 with their last album and it took them 3 years to get a no.1 song SO ITS NOT THAT EASY (more…)
JYJ Cancels Entire US Tour….
Well its come to this
After sadly cancelling their Hawaii tour due to issues with Yoochun’s visa it seems disaster has struck JYJ in the worst way possible as their entire US tour has been cancelled for the NYC, LA, and Las Vegas shows.
The reason?
Despite many foreign artists having easy access getting visas to perform in America something went wrong with all of the member’s visas and because of that officials have prohibited the boys from performing and gaining from profit.
The upside?
The guys are clearly devestaed and have been in NYC for a few days, and it was revealed that tickets to the concert are now free (although you can’t buy any) YES that’s right FREE
See JYJ pushed the boundaries in appreciation of their fans and have decided to pay everything themselves (just think how much their losing) in order to not disappoint their fans.
For now you can go to this website and sign up for new info about the free tickets BUT if you bought your tickets already you will get a special VIP line to the venue (get to go in first) AND you will get your money back 
Fans…have been shocked/angry NOT because the concert has been cancelled but because of the reason
Some have been speculating SME in one way or another had something to do with this but others are simply saying that because JYJ was being managed by Cjes Management a company that is currently in a lawsuit that’s why their visas got denied.
In either case its really sad to see a group like JYJ who in January were TVXQ have fallen this hard in their careers because of “issues” though fans and NON fans are admiring the group for their selfless dedication to not disappoint their fans.
JYJ Wants You To Believe They Cancelled Their Hawaii Show Cause Of Yoochun
Yesterday Hawaii fans were disappointed to learn that JYJ would be cancelling their tour stop their because of “production issues”
Their publicist stated
Dear Cherished Cassies,
We regret to inform you that the Hawaii show has been cancelled due to production issues. We are very sorry to our Hawaii fans and are very discouraged, but are trying to stay strong. Our production friends in Hawaii did the best they can to put on the show and did not want to disappoint the fans.
For those of you that have already purchased tickets for the Hawaii shows, you can contact Ticketmaster directly for a full refund at ticketmaster.com.
Amidst all this, we are happy to say that Entitled Entertainment – the management team handling the NY, LA, LV shows – are certain to put on an amazing experience for the JYJ fans.
Thanks for being the best fans in the world and keeping the faith alive.
-Team JYJ
This “issue” turned out to be Yoochun’s fault because of visa issues and the fact he had been dealing with fatigue since the start of the World Tour.
Coincidentally though only a few days ago the boys had decided to sing at a much smaller venue with their excuse being they wanted to be “closer” to the fans…..
Jaejoong Accidentally Shows Off His New Tattoo
When JYJ’s Jaejoong bent down wearing a see through shirt at a recent fan meeting he revealed his latest tattoo which has sparked the interest of many fans for its content.
See the thing is even though when Yoochun got his tattoo with the names of only Jaejoong and Xiah fans had thought he was excluding his other TVXQ band mates Yunho and Changmin which later turned out to be false.
But in Jaejoong’s case unless he’s got a magic trick under his sleeves its pretty obvious he decided NOT to include Yunho and Changmin leaving only his current group mates Yoochun and Junsu to be included in his tattoo.
JYJ Says They Don’t Like San Fransisco & Seattle, And Drop Them From US Tour
Its pretty strange they would decide to do this but JYJ has made changes to their US Tour stops dropping some cities and replacing others
Changes on JYJ’s official site reveal that the Seattle tour stop has been replaced with Las Vegas as well as San Francisco being dropped for Hawaii.
The group’s publicist, Melissa Lam released the following key points as to why this was decided
1. It is too punishing on the members physically and mentally to do the back to back gigs and specifically for the US leg, we are taking into consideration possible jet lag.
2. The change was made in lieu of tremendous feedback received from Japanese fans who have asked if we could put one stop in Hawaii for them since Japan was not included in this tour.
3. We wanted to make sure that all JYJ fans will be able to get a ticket to the showcases and hence we told promoters that we need a minimum of a 5000 pax venue for each stop. Due to constraints at the former locations, this can only be accomplished with the new tour stops added. (with the exception of NYC which needed to be locked in as press activities for the stop has been confirmed).

JYJ’s Publicist Teaches Us How To DEMAND For JYJ To Appear On The Most Popular American Talk Shows
TVXQ fans! Lesley, JYJ’s US publicist, has sent out a call to all of us, in every country! In the United States, the media tends to only invite guests who have already “made it” in the US. What they don’t know is just HOW popular Jaejoong, Junsu, and Yoochun are both here and worldwide! If TVXQ fans could write beautiful letters and post them in the mail to show with our hearts how much they love them and want them to succeed in the USA, then I think the American media would be moved (and intrigued!).

JYJ Wants To Invade Your Late Night Television On David Letterman
Woah this is too amazing to believe (and is probably a rumor)
According to Synnara Records naver site, JYJ are going on the David Letterman Show!!!
Here’s the translation
“More exclusive than the fact that Kanye West and Dark Child are featured in JYJ’s album~ They (JYJ) will be going on the David Letterman show and sing a song at the ending. It will be the first time for a Korean to go on the show. (at this rate, it doesn’t seem impossible anymore that JYJ have a good chance of succeeding on the billboard charts.)

The meaning behind JYJ’s “W” & “Itsudatte Kimi Ni”
The Thoughts of Lyricist for “Itsudatte Kimi ni”
Up to that time, I only watched Tohohoshinki’s performance on TV. Of course I was aware of their popularity and wanted to work with them, but working with them is something unbelievable even to imagine. Since “Itsudatte Kimi ni” is the opening song for the live and it contains deep meaning, I thought that the first word of this song should share the same feelings with their fans. Although it is a love song that tells a story between two people, the song also sends an important message to drive away the worries of their fans who were upsetting due to the various rumors and reports.
