Note: There are only a total of four Koreans that are honorary ambassadors to specialized organizations under UN – music conductor Jung Myunghoon, figure skater Kim Yuna, Actor Jang Donggun, and now JYJ!!! This means that JYJ will be the *first* K-POP artist to be the honorary ambassadors for a UN organization!

We are doing our best

In August, there should have been 2 X-days.

The 3V2 application and the photobook.

But, you cannot purchase the photobook in Japan…

It was originally planned for JYJ fans, so we were also looking forward that everyone here will be delighted.

Yes, it is difficult to get them.. to say in other words, their situation in Japan is much more difficult than other countries.

They are not ignoring the Japanese fans… and, we are not saying that the fans should give up… the persons related are now doing their best.

JYJ has become free a little bit, and the feathers are beginning to grow on their backs.

Even though they are still under difficult conditions…their talents are blooming, and they are now able to fly.

I am really impressed seeing their real ability.

But, I want them to become free much more, and fly the big skies.

It may take some time before their feathers will be strong.

When the time comes, they should first fly to Japan… don’t you all think that should be the most important matter?

In order for them to do so, we are now doing our best.

Let’s look forward to that special date…

[Fan-Project/Trans] Fan Support for Protect The Boss – The Delicious Lunch Is Here!

JYJ3 had posted JJFanUnion 5th Round Fan Support earlier. (Click HERE to view details)

Below is the translation for Part 4, the Rice-car mobilized treat.

Our Jaejoong & PTB production team are such nice & warming people ^^

The place was originally outside at the carpark and the tables and chairs were supposed to be outdoor but as it was rainy these few days, we were worried about the risk of everyone eating halfway and had to run indoor. Thus decided to change it indoor and there’s a musical fountain for accompaniment as well.

Finally it’s time to prepare the food and the side dishes were prepared on the spot too. The mobile lunch truck that we ordered this time does not use MSG and only uses natural and organic food. It seems that this mobile lunch truck was kinda fated with the crew of ‘Protect The Boss’.

We actually settled on the timing for the preparation of the mobile lunch truck earlier and Ji Sung actually booked the same mobile lunch truck to treat the staff two days ago. When we knew it, we got a shock too. The boss told us, “After seeing Jaejoong, he really seems to be a nice person,” praising him like this. We thought, “Ah, must have seen him on tv before!” It was later then we realised they came (to the set) two days ago. No wonder the staffs and actors/actresses greeted him (the mobile lunch truck owner) friendly. Jaejoong did mentioned to him two days ago that the food was very delicious and finished his food satisfactorily.

After everything is done, we hung up the banner and when Jaejoong came for his meal, he saw the banner and smiled non-stop bashfully.

Besides daeji bulgogi (spicy Korean pork) and grilled eel, there are a lot of side dishes and kimchi. Of course that includes the mobile lunch truck’s signature dishes – organic sweet potatoes, potatoes and corns. Although a lot of them ate the rice and desserts, the corn is very popular!

They finished filming slightly later. Then we saw the staffs and actors/actresses came out for their lunch. It was heartwarming to see Jaejoong and Ji Sung taking care of each other and CEO Cha (Park Yong Kyu) is indeed an emotional person.

Jaejoong came out earlier than we expected. Upon arriving he has been smiling and the way he greeted us, it seems that he is in a good mood.

At first Mr Park Yong Kyu didn’t know it was prepared by Jaejoong’s fans but he knew it right away after looking at the banner. He then said it in a super loud voice that rang throughout the whole place, “Ah ya~ It’s so great that we casted Jaejoong!” After he said this, everyone laughed and Jaejoong even clapped, laughing out loud. The atmosphere was really great.

Ji Sung is really very very gentleman. After he finished his food, he came straight to us and thanked us. Ji Sung “poisoned” us again. We didn’t expect such an overwhelming response, the staffs kept thanking us and after receiving our present, they praised us saying this is really what they need. They continued to greet and thank us.

Then it’s our dear mother! Mdm Cha Hwa Yeon also told us a filming trivia, She said that when she was filming that Jaejoong’s butt-hitting scene, she was all nervous. We told her, we support mother doing the ‘touch’ to Jaejoong A LOT~ so it’s okay and please carry on. Mother said she didn’t expect fans to like her scenes with Jaejoong, it was rather amazing. Mother also said, “Jaejoong has so many fans and is at such a top spot yet he is so humble. Why is there such a person?”, praising him non-stop. Looks like our Jaejoong really received a lot of love and recognition there.

Shall talk about Jaejoong now. When everyone were almost done with their food, we start to invite the director, actors/actresses and staffs for autographs and photo-taking. Jaejoong is just like in the photo taken, munching on his corn, isn’t he cute?

Just as we were going to find the director, suddenly we heard “Ah~ I’m so full!”. That was Jaejoong who stood up after finished drinking his malt tea. After he finished his words, we can’t helped but stared at him again. He was so adorable. Then he disappeared with Ji Sung.

At the filming site, the two Director Cha saw us and immediately used their very~~~ loud voice and shouted to us while waving their hands, “THANK YOU ALL~~~ IT WAS VERY DELICIOUS~~~ THANK YOU!” Jaejoong is really cute! And thank you Ji Sung.

We did a lot of fan supports before and this is the first time we met such heartwarming drama crew. We felt the love Jaejoong has received from the drama crew and it seems that more and more people are liking this drama. And many staffs who worked together with him have became Jaejoong’s fans.

When everyone finished their food, the director came and thanked us. So does many actors/actresses, saying “We have to say thanks to you all.”

When the staffs were thanking us, someone said, “Jaejoong is more than just a pretty face!” Really feel that Jaejoong is pretty? But fans are pretty too, right?

Someone ate and thanked, “I was fed well today. It was so sumptious.”

The directing staff said to us, “Please do prepare just a bit next time.” We told him, sure, we will just prepare one sandwich and one rice ball next time. (T/N: staff said it out of gratefulness and fan replied jokingly.)

This support that we prepared since morning, it will be good if all fans loved it and thank you everyone for the participation.
