Inkigayo's Homepage Is Flooded
With Complaints "Why Isn't JYJ Performing?"
"We request that JYJ appear on Inkigayo"
Netizens' voices calling for JYJ's appearance on TV are growing in number and strength.
The Viewers' Opinion thread and the Appearance Request thread on the SBS' Inkigayo homepage are filled with fans' posts asking for JYJ's appearance on the show. These requests first began in October when JYJ released their first album 'The Beginning' and have been appearing every week since then.
When it became known that JYJ, who have been unable to appear on TV due to their legal dispute with SM Entertainment, will appear as invitational guests at the KBS Drama Acting Awards on the 31st, 230 requests for JYJ's appearance on Inkigayo flooded in, in one day on December 13th. Netizens were spotted stating things such as, "If JYJ are going to appear on stage at the KBS Drama Acting Awards, then isn't it time for SBS to open their doors too?"
There are no apparent reasons that broadcasting companies can give to deny JYJ appearances on music programs. Netizens stated, "Their songs are good and their album sales are too, so I don't see why we can't see them or hear their voices on TV," and "I hope they are able to appear. As many viewers wish for their appearance, I hope you listen to the voices of your viewers."
Fans' complaints increased rapidly on the 15th when JYJ's song 'Ayyy Girl' suddenly disappeared from Inkigayo's 'Take 7' Nominees list.
JYJ fans seemed to be taken aback as they were unable to understand why JYJ were suddenly excluded from the Take 7 Nominees list. It is being speculated that this occurred due to the Korean Federation of Pop Culture and Art Industry (KFPCAI)'s request in October to broadcasting companies, asking them to deny JYJ appearance on their shows. The KFPCAI stated that allowing JYJ to be active, even though they have not finished their legal dispute with SM Entertainment, would bring problems to the entertainment industry as it would disrupt order within the industry.
The voices requesting JYJ's appearance on music programs are continuing to rise, but Inkigayo's side is staying silent and adding to the frustration of the situation.

(Jaejoong) There is something that can't seem to keep up with passion. The cold reality of life. Which is why hope becomes more earnest. But I am thankful to at least have that hope. Though the obstacle called time may wear me out, in the end, I will not lose my courage. It's cold again today, and I feel good. (11:21am KST)

Junsu's Fans Donate To Help The
Hearing-Impaired For
The Third Consecutive Year
'Xiah Soul', a fan community dedicated to (Xiah) Junsu, who is currently working as a member of JYJ and a musical actor, has donated money to the 'Finding Sound for Hearing-Impaired Children' foundation for the third consecutive year.
As the fans wished to gift Junsu with a meaningful gift rather than a materialistic gift to celebrate his birthday, Xiah Soul made their first donation to the 'Finding Sound for Hearing-Impaired Children' foundation on Junsu's birthday, December 15th, 2008.
The first child to receive the donation was hearing-impaired Kim Dan Hee (Grade 6 at the time). Xiah Soul donated enough money to cover her artificial snail surgery and speech therapy fees and since the successful surgery, Dan Hee has been receiving continuous speech therapy. Currently, she has improved greatly and is able to engage in every-day conversations with short sentences.
Xiah Soul was in the spotlight last December for donating money to Dan Hee's sister Dan Ah, who was also hearing-impaired, and decided to make their third donation this year to Song Yoo Chan (3 year old boy) to celebrate Junsu's birthday.
Junsu and his fans impressed many with both singer and fanclub donating to a good cause as Junsu donated treasured belongings to the Snails of Love's 119 Event of Love Charity Bazaar in January for Xiah Soul, who had been doing charity work in his name, and for the rehabilitation of many more hearing-impaired persons.
The administrator of Xiah Soul stated, "We find it meaningful that our relationship with the 'Sound Finding Journey', which began with the hopes that those who couldn't hear could be given the chance to be moved by Xiah Junsu's music, has been going on for three years," and "As Xiah Junsu and Xiah Soul are both very interested in the culture of giving, we wish to keep donating to the worthy cause as long as Xiah Soul is around."
Xiah Soul's continuous support for the cause became the stepping stone in changing people's perspectives of pop culture and fan clubs. Xiah Soul is being used as a desirable example of a fanclub sending a positive message to the youth of Korea to be more active in society.
