Because my connection is as slow
as a turtle and I want to tell these thoughts out. NOW.
So rumor has it that JYJ and SMEntertainment has finally put an end to their legal battle. FINALLY.
As quoted from the post,
"It is said that SM Entertainment and JYJ have both withdrawn all
lawsuits against one another, and have agreed to not interfere with any of each
other’s activities"
And as I was reading this I
cannot help but be glad and be genuinely happy for JYJ because finally, all the
stress about this lawsuit is over.
You don't know how difficult
these 3 years had been for all of us-- for Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu, Changmin
and Yunho and for the fans of all five. It was painful to see your most-loved
group separated in 2 units. Even more when one unit holds on to the name that
once belonged to five members and when the other unit started a group of their
own. 'Painful' is not even the appropriate word to describe it; It was crazy,
chaotic and nerve-wrecking to the point that I don't even know with what
conclusion I want it to end, I just want it done. I'd be a hypocrite if I say
that I never wanted the ending where in JYJ takes back their complaint and just
makes peace with SM Entertainment and my OT5 is back again together. When
Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu released their first album as JYJ and when TVXQ
came back as duo, I thought that what I wanted was such a selfish wish. I saw
how all of them struggled yet kept moving on. I felt the frustration of JYJ for
not being able to perform on national television, the pressure that Changmin
and Yunho had to carry when they came back as duo and their fear that their
fans would leave them having as what they've become. But they never left us.
They didn't quit and continued to move on and that made me very proud of them.
With that I learned to accept them as JYJ and TVXQ.
Am I happy that the lawsuit has
finally ended? Very happy. (In fact I was singing to myself awhile ago in class
my student asked me if something happened today. I was too happy.) Am I still
happy even if the end of the lawsuit means that it is already official that
Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu is no longer under SM Entertainment and that them
becoming TVXQ again will be even more impossible? YES. I am still happy
regardless of the consequences because the lawsuit ending means freedom for the
three. Am I giving up the idea of seeing all five of them performing in one
stage again? NO. Not ever. I still hope that someday, I will be able to hear
them singing together again, even in different groups. For when they start
singing together again, their harmony and melody will always be one, regardless
of whatever circumstances. :)
This may be the ending of the
lawsuit but every ending means a new beginning. What lies ahead all of us in
future is still blur but one thing's for sure, whatever happens, I will still
watch over them. I'll still be a fan of Jaejoong, Changmin, Junsu, Yunho and
Yoochun until they tell me to stop. :)
