[NEWS] 110720 JYJ Overseas Fans say “We will not buy South Korean Products Anymore”

Protests about the cancellation of JYJ from the KBS TV Broadcast Special, stating “There is no justice showed by KBS, Jeju, and South Korea”

“I am a big fan of JYJ from Egypt. Me and my family voted for Jeju Island for the sake of JYJ. Also, we loved South Korea because of JYJ.  When we were buying electronics or cars, we would check and only buy Korean products. But now we are starting to feel angry at the unfair treatment against JYJ because of the mad actions of enormous powers. Our love for Korea started out as a love for JYJ, and now I feel like we were cheated along side JYJ to cast a vote for Jeju Island”.

South Korea’s Jeju island selected the trio group JYJ to promote Jeju in the 7 World Wonders campaign. However, an abrupt cancellation of JYJ’s performance in a live worldwide 7 World Wonders Special Broadcast, that is to be held on July 20^th at 5pm, has brought about a flood of angry fans from abroad.

Worldwide JYJ fans from Egypt, Australia, Lithuania, France, and the United States cannot understand the decision of the Korean Broadcasting Station and have expressed extreme disappointment. In particular the fans are showing a severe distrust in Korea, stating “I just canceled my plans to visit Jeju Island” and “I will not buy South Korean made products in the future”.

A US based fan said “My friends and her cousin were planning to go to South Korea for the Jeju event with JYJ before traveling to China. They each had to pay $250 for travel fees. You can’t just change the artists four days before the event takes place”

Angered by the situation, a fan from Canada cancelled her plans to visit Jeju Island, stating “This is an international disgrace and South Korea should be ashamed at itself for allowing SM and KBS to act like this. Not only have JYJ been lied to for three months, but fans have as well.”

Overseas fans have also said “Since Jeju Island has made JYJ promote as ambassadors but not allowed them to take part in the programs, this whole thing has become a joke” as well as “KBS and the Jeju Government, you have shown that your country has no justice”

Meanwhile, the vote for the 7 World Wonders is still ongoing, and their organizer, New7Wonders has taken a keen interest in the cancellations, even putting articles about it on their homepage.
