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)
