Kim Jaejoong expressed his feelings, “When I came into the banquet hall and greeted the President of Turkey, President Lee Myung-bak who was next to me welcomed me, “You’ve come.” I was nervous being at that very difficult position but many people heartily called me JJ and greeted me, I was really happy. During these 3 days, many people told me that JYJ had many fans and gained amazing popularity in Arab and Middle East, so I want to come back here soon with JYJ’s members and hold a concert.”
C-JeS Entertainment stated, “The local officials said that the popularity of JYJ and Kim Jaejoong was higher than expected and that they played a major role in introducing Korean music and drama. In addition, at the state banquet, Kim Jaejoong has exchanged simple greetings with many important figures and took commemorative photos, completing his role of cultural ambassador.”

[NEWS] 120207 Today SNS Hot Issue – President of South Korea: “Since JYJ Jaejoong has come, I should leave now”


“Since JYJ Jaejoong has come, I should leave now” 
This what President Lee Myung-bak said to a Turkish K-POP fan he met during his state visit in Turkey. On the 6th (local time), President Lee visited University of Ankara and had time talking with the students. A Hallyu fan asked for his help so that a Hallyu concert can be held in Turkey. President Lee said, “I would like to invite them but the singers are too busy.” But he promised, “I’ll try to help to make Turkey a stop of concert in Europe.” In the end, President Lee himself introduced Kim Jaejoong, “Before leaving, I would like to deliver good news. We have invited JYJ Jaejoong-ssi out of K-POP members.” And before leaving the event hall, he said, “Since Jaejoong has come, I should leave now.” Netizens wrote comments on the article, “Now even the President is MC for ceremony too.” “When he said that Turkey would be also a stop of European concerts, Turkish fans seems to be disappointed*…”

*T/N (last sentence) ~ this was translated as is; “Turkish fans seems to be disappointed” may be interpreted in the context that they are disappointed JYJ will not visit Turkey solely but only as one of the stop/ visiting point during their European tour (via @chaconne)

He was supposed to talk with Turkish young people about the Korean Wave but the Turkish government has expressed opinion, “We hope that he do it with the most popular Hallyu singer in Turkey.” Therefore, it was decided that Kim Jaejoong would be summonned to the Presidential Palace of Turkey.
An official of Korean Cultural Center in Turkey said, “Among Korean singers, we invited Kim Jaejoong of famous group JYJ to hold fanmeeting, which was expected to contribute to the increase cultural exchanges between the two countries.” 
Kim Jaejoong’s management company said, “All three members of JYJ are really popular abroad but Kim Jaejoong’s popularity is especially high.”
Before visiting the Presidential Palace, on the 5th, Kim Jaejoong also held a solo fanmeeting in Ankara. This fanmeeting gathered 600 people. It was known that more than 2000 people have applied. Kim Jaejoong was the first Korean singer to hold solo fanmeeting in Turkey. The auditorium was full of 600 fans and they sang happy birthday song for him in Korean.
President Lee arrived in Turkey on the 4th. On the 6th, along with President Lee, Kim-ssi attended the meeting with Turkish students at University of Ankara. In the evening of that day, he was with President Lee in a state dinner at the Presidential Palace of Turkey.

[PICS + INFO] 120206 Jaejoong, along with Presidents of South Korea and Turkey, at a meeting in Ankara University Posted on February 6, 2012 by JYJ3


According to news sources, Jaejoong attended a youth forum in Ankara University, along with Korean president Lee Myung Bak, and he will also be attending a state banquet at the presidential palace.
He is traveling not just as a Kpop artist (he already had a fan meeting with JYJ Turkey fans) but, also as a representative of South Korea. Which is fitting, considering Jaejoong along with the other JYJ members are International Ambassadors (ICAAP, UNAIDS, World-OKTA), and also National Representative for Korea (Nuclear security Summit, KEPCO, FLL Korea, and PR Ambassador for The South Korean Ministry of Education, Science and Technology/MEST).
For those who were wondering why security around him was so tight. This might be because he is also a State Guest.
