Appointed as ambassadors for the 7 World Wonders campaign, Hallyu Wave stars JYJ (Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun, Kim Junsu), many of their Japanese fans came directly to Jeju to find that they would not be featured on the KBS TV broadcast.
JYJ fans traveled to the island in hopes of seeing the KBS Special Broadcast Stage “Challenge! One of the 7 World Wonders is here” that the island was hosting on July 20th at 5:20 pm.
A JYJ fan, Tanaka, said he was introduced to two other fans Ohmi and Mazda on the flight to Jeju. And once they arrived, they immediately went to the Seongsan Illculbong Peak, where the event was held. [T/N: Special Broadcast was held at the Seongsan Illculbong outdoor stage]
Tanaka and Ohmi complained, saying “It is very sad that JYJ fans did not receive proper notice of the cancellation. A great pity. We have been missing JYJ apperance on TV broadcast and therefore were looking forward to seeing them”.
They followed by saying “I booked a ticket in advance to come to Jeju Island. I had hoped that I could cheer for JYJ”.
A blogger who was covering the 7 World Wonders program, Oh Baek Jang, took pictures of the fans, who were voluntary posing with with homemade placards in promotion [of JYJ].
They held signs that had the phrases “JYJ, I’m Sorry” and “JYJ, Thank You” that were written in a sketchbook, and took photos with the venue in the background.
The controversy came about 4 days before the Broadcast on the 20th, when KBS issued a notification to JYJ’s management company Cjes, stating JYJ’s appearance had been cancelled.
JYJ were originally supposed to appear in the Jeju Special Broadcast concert, singing two of their songs.
However, KBS Jeju issued a unilateral cancellation statement, causing Cjes to ask for an official position to be made.
