argh! seems he really enjoyed his HK trip huh? and i find that there's something weird about this whole trip with young saeng..

xaxa said...

so true. seems like they are not in their dont_want_to_be_noticed way of dressing when at airport. are they on a secret mission and purposely wanted to be noticed? ^_^

Everybody knows the idol job has such strong restrictions, and their is no sign at all of any rebellion by the boys from these limitations. They keep their extremely busy schedules and keep their look and their words enthusiastic. I am certain their management is fully aware of and arranging all of their activities - and most certainly any activity traveling outside of Korea. This Hong Kong trip is too out of character, too weirdly out of schedule. Vacation? no way - when has management ever given even a single day without some promotional use. I think there's some strategy to shake up the good-boy image a little bit, get fans thinking of them in a more adult view, getting their image to be a little more unpredictable, the thrill of a little bit of "scandal". Something's going on, and I am certain it is planned out. These guys simply do not, and would not be allowed, to just wander off on their own.

It will be impossible, really, for fans to know their real personal relationships - you can only sift through the highly controlled images we get for any clues, and this Hong Kong firestorm shows how crazed the speculations can get. I think the best Joongbo fans can believe is that KHJ and HB for sure became friends. But its clear their lives are spinning apart on their own career tracks. Who knows how many good friends, even family, and what otherwise potential lovers they both have to release because their is just no time, no room, no extra energy left. .....Anonymous in Los Angeles.

@ xaxa:

it's because they dont have to hide anything.

@clare:

so weirdly dress-up for private vacation. HJ with trendy cardigan-like overcoat and YS with super odd yellow color pant. gone their casual wear, not even big sunglasses or hoodie/cap/beannie when at airport ^^

jackuon said...

hmm, xaxa and Anonymous in LA both have good points. i thought this whole thing was a bit fishy, too.

i mean, YS is the most concerned with his princely image, but in the recent concerts he's been rapping and busting out sexy dances like HJL and just showing a whole new mature image, and now he's openly "escorting female friends" and smoking? suspicious...

and yeah, they "didn't have anything to hide" and "weren't doing anything wrong," but won't they still try to conceal their identities and wear inconspicuous outfits and hats and sunglasses wherever they go?

Anonymous said...

Where are other members and elementary friends? They just don't have stylists with them for looking like that.

He definitely doens't look like an idol in this picture. He and YS look like just ordinary guys. Look scared and don't look rested. I don't think there were any strategies from the management company for image making for this kind of trip.

YS and HJ wer always fashionable. so what's with doubting the get up? maybe they chose not to wear their usual caps/hats and shades this time.

even the clothes and all should have also an issue? geeze..let them wear what they wanna wear..it's their choice and clothes anyways.

about YS image, com'on now, is there a rule for him not to rap and do some sexy dance? I DONT THINK SO. he can still pull out the prince image while doing that..duh.

also about the "escorting female friends" issue..they're hanging out, for crying out loud. when u hang out with ur guy friends..does that mean they wer also "escorting you"? is it also suspicious to others? I GUEZ NOT. YS smoking's a bit of a surprise but dont u know..almost boys from different sides of the earth smokes.

it's bec. wer big celebrities that's why a lot of people wer making this such a big deal..but if they non-celebs , none of u haters would even care, ryt?

to YS..it's ok to smoke but PLS. TAKE CARE OF UR HEALTH ESPECIALLY YOUR VOICE.

yea i keep thinking something is really fishy here...maybe they're trying really hard to create a certain new persona...i dunno, its just wierd...i keep hoping maybe its a cover up for khj so he could spend time with hwangbo for her bday? hehe he had to divert attention and make everyone believe he was with YS and schoolmate friends when really as soon as he got off that taxi and and hwangbo had a secret rendezvous? i mean...where were HJ and YS the past couple days in HK? was there any sighting of them besides the last time they were videotaped??

Anonymous said...

Isn't there are 8 person on the same trip as DSP media report earlier and where the other go? leaving HK in different time and DSP even mention you can see them coming back together to prove the are just friend ..weird (not to offence any of KHJ fans)

jackuon said...

Sennie, i think you've misinterpreted my comment. i understand TS wanting to jump to their defense, but i wasn't criticizing or judging them in the first place. i am just as much a TS as you. i even re-iterated that they didn't do anything wrong, and i completely agree that the boys can vacation, party, date, drink, smoke, or do whatever they want, and they'll still be normal guys, and i'll still love them.

*phew* please excuse the long disclaimer! now that that's cleared up, what i meant about YS's image is that he's showing a different side of himself on stage. i'm all for that. i just think he's also changing his public face by smoking and accompanying galpals. (btw, i didn't mean "escorting" in a salacious way. >_>) also, there was no reason to be rude and add "duh" to your argument. =/

as for the clothes "issue," it is simply an observation that they dressed differently than from all other times we've seen them at airports. again, no one said it was wrong. *sigh* please, TS, stop reading every comment as bashing and subsequently attacking people!

yeah, this is all speculation and maybe we're all reading too much into things, but we're just discussing, NOT SAYING IT'S WRONG.

thats because those two girls ARE just hookah's okay? hello? do you guys really believe dsp and their bullshit? i guess they both finally got some ass for the past few days, they look like they even lost weight,workin that booty too hard haha

Kit said...

i think the other 6 members had checked-in first, and HJ and YS were the only people left at the check in area. so maybe that's the reason why the rest of their friends wer not in the pictures. not being in the pictures doesnt really mean its just the 2 of them.

we dont know what the rest of their friends looks like so maybe..just maybe they were there but not really recognized as with them.

and the pictures were from HK airport..i haven't seen pics of them in korea yet..so lets not assume first. :)

as to sennie, yeah i really think u've misinterpreted what jackuon said. well, cant really blame u with all the bashing and hating comments recently. LOL

isabel said...

I also thought that they were a bit too undisguised for idols on private vacation. At least hats, hoodies, glasses would be worn. The less recogizable they are, the less hazzles from fans and paparazzi.

This trip MIGHT be publicity stunts as mentioned by some posts above. And I don't think their vacation's related to HB either (personally I already see them separately, not as a couple). I think it's about creating buzzes on their upcoming asia tour. Recently news about DBSK lawsuit, BB GD albums, 2PM Bunny overwhelm K-news. Someone told me in entertainment industry it's necessary to keep your name afloat the ent news. Any publicity is good publicity nonetheless.

sorry if i offend any fans here. it's only my opinion. so ~peace

elisa c. said...

Hmmmm... it DOES seem fishy. I don't want to seem like im trying to justify what the boys did, but ive been wondering why YS was suddenly so careless with his image. He's always been so concerned with his public persona. And yes, they have been trying to revamp their image... KHJ said it himself before they kicked off their ASIA Tour. He said fans were going to see a more "mature" side of them, which apparently means baring more skin and becoming more provocative.

In any case, i hope this issue dies really soon. I know its something that's hard to get over, not just for Joongboers, but also for those who love KHJ and HB as separate artists. But I feel with all the recent scandals in KPOP, it's time to regain some positivity. :)

SH, thanks for still updating. Im still a fan of your site.

Sad, sad, and just sad. To be honest, it's not a bad thing that the boys are going out, but it's sad that they CAN'T go out without the nasty things said. They are in their 20s and I'm in my 20s, I go out with guy friends all the time. When you work so much, you just want to go out have a few drinks, talk, whatever...The whole YS prince image...I mean do we all know who they REALLY are? They're just doing their jobs when they talk to us as fans, but on the outside they are regular joes that is taking a day off.
I speak chinese and when I saw the Hong Kong vid about them, I have to say that I'm disappointed in the girl who was doing the report. She made everything seem like..."OMG, LOOK! THEY DID THIS!" Disappointing in the media itself, and it can ALSO be true, they did this on purpose for the press. Like one of the people above said, publicity whether good or bad is publicity. Look at Britney Spears.

One word : PUBLICITY.
Like all of u said, there a lot of idol surface rite now, GD is on fire with his album, Wild Bunny swept the nation and don't forget 2NE1..
I am TS and I live in Korea but I have to admitt that SS501 fame is less compare to that idol above, they had their highest peak of popularity during BOF days, with their song for the OST and of course the Ji Hoo sunbae craze, but now, although HJ is still famous, not really with other SS501 mates..
Some of u might be not agree but this is the fact, the rising star in today K-Pop is 2PM and 2NE1..
As one of the 'senior' group they need to maintain their popularity, maybe this is of the strategy...
We'll never know..
And P.S although JoongBo is still much loved by the Int community but in Korea, NOPE.
They somtimes show clip of JoongBo in some news but more as a SHOW, a couple show but there's no one scandal ever surface, not one..due the fact that WGM is no longer popular and the continued of the couple, e.g Shin Ae with the wedding and In Young tell that during the show she had someone that is not Crown J..
And I have to admit that their supporter in Korea in,,can count by hands..

so i'm confused....2pm and 2ne1 is bigger than dbsk/suju/big bang and snsd/wondergirls?

amanda said...

personally, my take on the whole situation is, the media will ALWAYS report stuff for their convenience to get the most viewers / ratings / reactions out of people. there is always another side of the story no matter what. as long as that little guy on hwang bo's cyworld is still there, i still believe... and btw, there's this chick bashing hwang bo and i think she should really get her facts straight. here's her page: http://kpopperator.wordpress.com/2009/08/20/hwang-bo-please-go-away/

Anonymous said...

I say RISING STAR..which mean they show up on tv, news and bcoming HOT topic IN THE MOMENT.
Please read my post again...
Suju, DBSK, SNSD and WG is also BIG really BIG,,
But in the K-ent if u don't show up on tv every week or toping the Mnet chart everyweek u can be easily forgotten..
That's the dark side of idol world and K-ent...

check this out http://www.kimhyunjoong.net/

look for Guide of mention for WGM

Anonymous said...

well u know what. i heard that k-entertainment is lacking so that's why groups like dbsk are promoting more in other countries like japan than in korea...bc you can't really succeed much in k entertainment industry. i guess that's why some fans also resent groups like that because they're never around in korea. ss501 seems like they promote and do more stuff outside of korea, for example, the incheon festival that's coming up, ss501 is not even gonna be there. instead they decide to go to japan instead for BOF promotions. i dont know..is the k entertainmen industry that bad now?

i trust and support HJ forever no matter what happen. i will forever and ever love and support him !!! JIAYOU KHJ !!! <3

Kimmie said...

I read the GUIDE TO WGM in www.kimhyunjoong.net but I didn't understand a lot of it...either the English is off...or my English is really bad...the only thing that I got from it..is...Kimhyunjoong was forced to film WGM and that he was miserable. So was Hwangbo...

Anonymous said...

I also read guide to WGM,,
And I tell you, I feel like I can't understand English at all, quite confusing neh?..LOL
But one thing I get, FOR SURE..
That article is written purely BY FAN and trough FAN point of view...
Somtimes I want remind eversingle/person esp those IDOL fans that they didn't know who their idol really is..
Same to HJ, the one that knows HJ really is, only his Parents, Brother, Close Friends and his MANAGER, who's know him for life and be with him almost his entire life/time..
The person who wrote that article made it seems like she/he REALLY KNOW HJ INSIDE and OUT...
But the fact is she/he doesn't...
I think the person who knew the REAL situation during HJ WGM days is his MANAGER...
I belive HJ must be treasure his manager a lot...
Its sad sometime fans really get caught up in their idol life, like they know what best and not for their idol..
Scary fandom..
Now I feel REALLY sorry/sympathy for HJ, and all the idol in korea..
Their fans is...scary...and the life they have is...realy lonely..despite all the money and fame he have, freedom is far from his reach...
And like Chonsa said at her blog, the one that we should thankful for is Kang PD..
For meeting up these (HJ and HB) two..
And make the world fall in love with them...
Thank u Kang PD,,have a merier and happy life~~

@sarie@ said...

someone from soompi wrote that

"HwangBo updated the song in her cyworld list...
One of them Young Sareng & Hyun Joong's solo"

soo, why would she just put two of their songs on their? maybe it's her discreet way of supporting them?? something to think about...
=D

i read the article already..really don't understand it at all..my english are poor? :p

but i remember the article did mentioned smth about the "partner" weeping to persuade hj to stay in wgm..hb dont seems like that kind of person though..

My head hurts badly after reading "guide to wgm". Anyway, based on my understanding, the comments purely blamed HB and other party involved with WGM(including Joongbo fans), stating KHJ was pressured and being forced to continue filming. It also mentioned KHJ was taking sleeping pills due to this. The rest talked about how unhappy and fatigue KHJ was during the filming from Ant tour 'till the end of the episode. Evidence was based on KHJ treated HB coldly while filming the ice skating scene. It also mentioned that after filming WGM, KHJ and HB relationship was reverted back to the time before they debutted in WGM. It continued to talked about KHJ filming of BOF and the pressure and criticism he received from Joongbo fans. Finally it concluded that Joongbo fans are still holding on to a fantasy dream. Seriously, no one can force him. Lee Dae hee opted to quit her role in East of Eden. He could have quit if it was unbearable. Anyway, both HB and KHJ were given a chance to leave the show but they choose to stay. Personally, I believe HB and KHJ became close friends after filming WGM. Beyond that no one knows except them.

^yeah the WGM guide is so one sided, but like anon says above, its write by KHJ fans and through KHJ fans point of view, so what can u expect, mostly his fans is really not fond with HB and WGM..
Funny though that they claimed they know the real situation, but they have all the wrong facts..
They said HJ was forced to continued the show when we all know that, its all up to the couple to decide (alshin, ant and anbi too)..
and because his decision to stay, SS501 have to postpone their album, and split into two group, they think HJ is not responsible as a leader and choose (forced) to be with HB on WGM..
They also said that the farm epi was set by the crew of WGM, the crane was provide by the staff (?) And all the conversation was guided by the crew...seriously though, is WGM so desperate to make them 'romantic' couple by making all the crane, and if the convo was make by a script-writer, boy she/he must be good and deserve an award or somthin...
The more funny things is they say HB cried and begged HJ to come with her to go to Pusan, when we all see even non WGM fans says HJ is soo protective on that epi (the breaking tv things)..
What I don't get is, HJ fans says they know HJ better and WGM is just work/acting, so HJ is not really 4D and blunt in real life? Does he had another personality that only his real/true fans know??
I don't understand..?!
For me, WGM opens a lot of door and opportunities for HJ and HB, it got them more work and most importantly fans...but all they do is just keep blaiming them for joining the show,,we and them (HJ and HB) had so much fun things from the show, why keep complaining and write bad stuff bout the show, when it bring so much luck for we as a fan for the laugh and the joy they gave (I even got myself introduce to K-pop world through WGM, and am sure I'm not the only one), and HJ and HB for the opportunities they had prior to the show...
Aahh...entertaiment world is such a confusing things...

Kimmie said...

I'm so happy that I'm not the only one who was confused in that GUIDE TO WGM. I just thought, if HJ really didn't want to do the show, he didn't have to.
Anyway, after reading all the posts, I understand, now, what that guide was all about. I thought, I was too fatigued from work...and didn't understand English anymore. I didn't think he was THAT COLD to her in the ice skating thing, because he already stated...both of them weren't that good...and if he went to help her...they will both get hurt. Ice skates are sharp...my shins were cut when I went ice skating with a friend. She fell and couldn't get up, and I tried to help but her ice skates cut my shins and I fell...it was gross and our blood got on the ground. We had those cheap ice skates with the blades...not the new ones where they have some sort of seal on it xD.
