[NEWS] KBS Jeju Says: “We Cancelled JYJ Because SNSD and F(x) Are More Effective.”

[Exclusive] KBS Jeju Sasy: “To Have Girls Generation and F(x) Appear is More Effective than JYJ.”

“In viewing the program as a whole, Girls Generation and F(x)’s appearances are effective.”

On the cancellation of appearance by JYJ from the  Jeju 7 Wonders KBS Special Live Broadcast, KBS Jeju Broadcast Agency (hereafter “KBS Jeju”) revealed its position.

The KBS Jeju affiliate who is producing this broadcast said in the telephone conversation with MyDaily on the afternoon of the 17^th relayed that due to the appearance of Girls Generation and F(x) the cancellation of JYJ’s appearance had taken place: “We were propelling the appearance of Girls Generation and F(x) from before but they fell through due to scheduling problems. But at the end of the preparation stages for the broadcast, they said that they could appear. The duty of our broadcast station from the perspective of culture is to introduce many stars to the region’s society. In viewing the program as a whole, we considered just what is effective.”

The affiliate continued: “To the side of JYJ, we respectfully revealed our apologetic position.” He explained further “The group SpringSummerFallWinter will appear as planned. But in this broadcast, aside from SpringSummerFallWinter, Girls Generation, and F(x), other artists such as popera singers are planned to appear.”

The local government of Jeju, who is one of the hosts of the event, revealed through an affiliate on the telephone: “We do not know. What kind of power or abilities would we have to procure a celebrity. It is something that KBS Jeju pursued.”

Further, they relayed that they felt they were falsely charged: “Due to this situation, there are posts of protests raining on the bulletin of Jeju’s local government. But this is not something that we have done.” In particular, Jeju worried about there being potential ill effects on the voting for Jeju as one of the 7 Wonders of the World.

Before this, JYJ’s agency C-JeS Entertainment had revealed through its official webpage on the 16^th: “JYJ had been looking forward to appearing on the 20^th on the special broadcast as honorary ambassadors for Jeju as a member of the 7 Wonders. But today we suddenly received the notification of cancellation. We have currently requested the precise reason for the sudden cancellation of appearance to the hosts. We ask for your understanding on our sudden announcement of cancellation to the fans who had been waiting. We will soon make an additional announcement after confirming the situation.”

——————–

First, just a few hours ago KBS Jeju had stated that it had nothing to do with JYJ’s cancellation (see here). Now it has reversed its word. 

Second, it is impossible that KBS Jeju showed proper respects to JYJ when it had notified JYJ of their cancellation by surprise and without providing the reasons, compelling C-JeS to call around to inquire.

Third, the appearance of Girls Generation and F(x) do not make it necessary that JYJ not appear. Although at this point the appearance of JYJ on a program hosted by an organization that will result in the production of the chaos of the last few days does seem too horrible for contemplation, JYJ are the official honorary ambassadors. Not withstanding the ridiculousness of the assertion that Girls Generation and F(x) are “more effective” than JYJ, this is simply no excuse.

Lastly, Jeju is correct to be concerned about the ill effects this will have on the voting for Jeju as a N7W.

[NEWS] KBS cancels JYJ’s broadcast appearance for ‘N7W’ event

Back in May, JYJ became honorary ambassadors for Jeju Island as part of the ‘New Seven Wonders‘ initiative. KBS was to air a TV special on it to help promote Jeju Island for candidacy, however, the trio recently received a notice of cancellation regarding their appearance on the show.

On July 16th, JYJ’s management agency, C-JeS Entertainment, posted on their homepage, “Although JYJ was looking forward to the special ‘N7W‘ broadcast on the 20th as Jeju Island’s ambassadors, we received a cancellation notice today… We hope that the fans be patient with us and understand this sudden cancellation; after we discover why they were pulled, we will quickly post another bulletin.”

A JYJ official also stated, “With the broadcast only four days away, we suddenly received a notice of cancellation. We already got the plane tickets and even received a cue sheet. Additionally, two of the members are currently filming a drama and had already made arrangements to open up their schedule for this show. When the members heard the news, they couldn’t hide their upset feelings.”

The same official later added, “Furthermore, fans enthusiastically participated in voting for Jeju Island because of JYJ’s planned appearance. International fans also showed their dedication by participating, and in fact, there are fans coming in from Japan to see JYJ perform on the 20th. Their [KBS's] sudden notification – without any reason – makes the situation unfortunate and disappointing… This program is not like any regular entertainment show either. We prepared this with our desire to share how great the nation is; however, because they gave us a unilateral notice without any particular reason, we are slowly losing our strength because we feel so apologetic to our fans.”

The current situation seems quite ironic, as JYJ were chosen to be ambassadors under the assumption that the trio would bring in more international votes for Jeju Island. There were even videos featuring JYJ to further promote the event.
