Taegoon who is known to be close friends with Jaejoong of TVXQ said during an episode of My Name Is Taegoon that he does not want interviewers to ask him questions about Jaejoong.

Taegoon says “There’s a lot of people who thought poorly of me, they said I blackmail my friends and take advantage of TVXQ, there’s many people saying that.” He continued, “I often talked about it with Jaejoong, but I don’t like people to look at me like that. There were many people who regarded us as good, but a lot also said I took advantage of it. We were very hurt.. I didn't talk about Jaejoong for a while. I request for them not to ask but they still do and write about it.” Although they continually ask him about it, he says “It’s a challenge, I don’t want to give trouble to my friends. I don’t like bothering him.“

Date: 2010-02-01 06:12 pm (UTC)I don't think "Call Me" would have been as popular if Jaejoong wasn't in the MV.
But it's good he's going to stop talking about him and interviewers should respect that.

Also, Eunhyuk brings up Junsu all the time.

Date: 2010-02-01 06:26 pm (UTC)i really liked call me, and it was sad how the only reason why people bothered the song was because of Jaejoong being in it.
but i do kinda see how it has taken the song to another level, just the same with all of zhang li yin's songs, they're usually only listened to because of the actors in her music videos.
whether he was asked or not, jaejoong's name came up a lot XD i'll look forward to seeing him make a more independent stand.

Date: 2010-02-01 07:03 pm (UTC)It was okay for people to bring up Jaejoong in their interviews for a while because Jae was a major reason as to why Taegoon's "Call Me" video was so popular, but after a while it gets old. We get it already. They're friends and Jaejoong did him a favor. If both of them say there was no blackmail or whatever involved then that is the end of the story. Let it go.

Date: 2010-02-01 07:38 pm (UTC)You can tell from some interviews that he feels a bit uncomfortable and tries to dodge the question whenever it relates to JJ. Especially now with all that's going on with DBSK interviewers are probably much more persistent as well. Not to mention that when he was in Japan they always asked him about both JJ and Hyun Joong since he is close to both. He must have felt bad...
