Details of JYJ’s Upcoming Army Enlistment Are Still Unconfirmed

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

During the press conference and showcase held at the COEX Exhibition Hall in Gangnam, Seoul last August 3, the press had the chance to ask JYJ one of the hottest questions that are thrown the group’s way recently–the details of their upcoming enlistment to the military.

JYJ members Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun, and Kim Junsu, who are all in their late 20s and are expected to fulfill their military duty soon, revealed at the press conference that their 2nd album, “JUST US” will be their last album before they enter the military.

However, before the members of JYJ were able to answer the question regarding their military enlistment, a representative from their agency answered in detail on behalf of the group. “They still haven’t received the exact enlistment date from the Military Manpower Administration that’s why it is reported in the news that their enlistment is still “to be scheduled.” The Military Manpower Administration has requested us to refrain from talking about the matter,” the representative said.

“There is still no confirmation about the date when the members will be entering the military,” the representative emphasized and then asked for understanding from the press because they cannot give a definite answer yet regarding the military service of the boys.

Meanwhile, JYJ has held their 2014 JYJ Membership Week from July 31 until August 3. The group, who has recently made their comeback with their 2nd album, “JUST US,” has pre-sold 120,000 copies of their album and is receiving positive response from the public. The group will embark on an Asian concert tour beginning on August 9 in Seoul.

[Epik High voice] time is ticking time is ticking

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

Love that song! My fave from them. :DD

[missingmisnomer.livejournal.com]

i'm going to be so sad when my bb jaejoong enlists. i still expect him to be enlisted sometime before year end tho. the quicker he goes, the quicker he'll return!

[pepper.livejournal.com]

I'm not even sad because I have the unpopular opinion that JJ will have a great time in the army. He'll rest, learn to shoot, be healthier, have privacy, and he'll become BFFs with his entire camp in like a week, give or take. He's going to be fine. I'm actually worried he might not even want to leave.

[undeniablysarah.livejournal.com]

Mte, I think it will be good for him.

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

THIS. I think he'd really like the break the army would give him. He'll be the beloved hyung in his barracks.

[whysojaelous.livejournal.com]

Yeah I agree. I also think he needs the military-hiatus the most too. Where - in a way - he can find some inner peace and get away from all the fame plus I hope he'll learn to stop being so paranoid about the future of his career.

[kaninasan.livejournal.com]

ia, I think JJ will do great in the army

[purekpopology.livejournal.com]

I never thought of it this way, but I think you're completely right!

[aneeleniffum.livejournal.com]

I agree!! I think he'll do well~ I actually want him to go very soon lol

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

He's going to be just fine. And I believe that he will return looking healthier than he is right now. 2 years will gone like a breeze just like Leeteuk in the army.

[aneeleniffum.livejournal.com]

Yep, just like Kangin. It wasn't a long wait and suddenly he's back lol XD I'm actually happy that he's going. As much as I love him and his works, Jaejoong needs a break from the hectic industry :)

[umai-jae-ai.livejournal.com]

My lord, who is that beautiful creature in your icon?

[princetabi.livejournal.com]

i think that is joo won??

[hellociara.livejournal.com]

yep, it is & he looks so perf. <333

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

It's Joo Won. In case you are interested, he was in SM the Ballad MV a few years ago:

But he notably most famous as an actor (and he can sing too!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSZAHc3GMI8#!) -- most of his dramas got high ratings and he is one of the best young actors in Korea today. You got to check his drama Gaksital since that one is awesome beyond words. I remember watching it and I was basically on the edge of my seat the whole time since the drama was so intense and unpredictable. :D

[umai-jae-ai.livejournal.com]

Wow! I didn't even recognize him! Thank you! Joo Won has caught my attention recently but I haven't gotten around to checking out any of his dramas. I'll be taking your advice and checking out Gaksital as soon as I have some free time. Thank you! =D

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

No problem! The things that make Gaksital amazing is the complicated plots, acting and the chemistry between two of the main guys. I'm sincerely hope you do enjoy the drama since most people who have watched it cant deny how amazing the drama was as a whole. :)

Gifs I made of how much emotions he puts in the drama: ^^v

[nekokonneko.livejournal.com]

same, he'll have a structure life that's probably less stressful than being an idol

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

That's actually really sad. I think the same about a lot of male idols though.

[cleopatra25.livejournal.com]

I admire your positive outlook on things. I agree, this will enrich their life experience in more ways than one. Damn, the 86-liners are my faves, when they all leave it's going to take out a big chunk in my K-Pop spazzing. :(
I guess I'll have to make do with Lady HeeHee, Henry and ChangKyu until then.
I bet Koreans would love to have something like Hermione's Time Turner so they could accomplish more stuff at once.

[hellociara.livejournal.com]

truth. honestly, i ~kinda get why people get sad when their faves go to the army, but they'll be back in two years anyways! he needs the break. plus he's gonna look really hot in a uniform and i can't wait for those pictures. :P

[setsuna16.livejournal.com]

They all just need to go in together. Them and HoMin.

If only because I can't imagine poor Max being left alone. I don't know if he could handle it.

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

He has Kyu and Minho to boss around while Yunho's away. But yeah, I'd rather Changmin enlists not long after Yunho does, too. Maybe a year or so. Waiting for Yunho to come back before he himself enlists is just overkill.

[rikayla.livejournal.com]

can't all five of them just enlist at the same time lol :(

[allegsiseu.livejournal.com]

those outfits are nagl

[baboboy.livejournal.com]

they look better here (http://youtu.be/TrDr4goYSUY?t=15m52s)

[allegsiseu.livejournal.com]

no sis

[baboboy.livejournal.com]

[whysojaelous.livejournal.com]

Unlike other fans, I can't wait for them to go to the army. They'll grow there and hopefully, this growth translates into their songs.

In other news, who peed on Jaejoong's head??

[princetabi.livejournal.com]

oh god its like jae's stylist borrowed the dye that was used on poor onew for everybody promotions. its tragic.

[purekpopology.livejournal.com]

I'm glad they're trying to be transparent about the whole thing. I'm really paranoid that they longer they take to actually go, the greater the chances someone will try and say they're stalling and/or trying to avoid going.

I just want them to go and get it over with!!

[shintotchi.livejournal.com]

Ministry of Manpower just tickles me. XD

edit: Whoops that was my mind being mischievous. It's Military Manpower, but I like the lies my brain told me better.

[fuckyerdoder.livejournal.com]

I actually want them to enlist soon. They, esp. JJ, need this break from everything.

[princetabi.livejournal.com]

I can't wait for a full translation of membership week. I saw some really funny translations on tumblr and it sounds just like jyj. I want them to go already so they can come back sooner. I hope Jaejoong gains weight while he is away.

[burningleaf.livejournal.com]

My first reaction is JUST FUCKING GO
Then my inner stan just kinda sighs wistfully and say, you'll come back a better man, and I'll be here waiting with two years' worth of money ready to be spent on you.
