jyj jaejoong’s keep your head up vs tvxq’s keep your head down

Yesterday, on the 4th, ex-TVXQ member JaeJoong tweeted something very interesting. He tweeted:

You keep your head up and keep an open mind.

The now duo group TVXQ, consisting of members: Uknow Yunho and Max Changmin, recently put out an album with a title song called Why (Keep your head down) which has a high chance of being related.

Before TVXQ’s album dropped, many were saying that Why (Keep your head down) was a dissing song towards JYJ createding much controversy (still ongoing) and interest.

Netizens are pointing out these lyrics:

You look pretty but inside you’re so different, that’s what I’m afraid of

You always believed that I’d crumble without you. That’s a misunderstanding, why would I do that?

I was really, really sad. Because you were so immature, I was afraid you’d meet someone bad.

It’s thought that these lyrics are disses towards JYJ.

It acceptable that dissing is becoming more prevalent in media when netizens are paying attention to the meaning of every word being said or sung and hanging onto them for retaliation.

Fans are saying things such as

JaeJoong‘s also taking those lyrics to heart like the rest of us.

I don’t know why but it’s saddening…

Jaejoong fans angered with “Poseidon” over miscasting

The writer for upcoming drama “Poseidon” is facing a lot of heat from Jaejoong fans due to a couple of contrary statements he made about Jaejoong and TVXQ’s Yunho.

Last July, he uploaded photoshopped images of Jaejoong on his personal Facebook page and wrote, “Although it’s not confirmed yet, if Jaejoong and Kap Su Jwa were cast for my drama, I’d feel so honored and do my best.”

Soon after, news agencies released articles confirming Jaejoong’s role in “Poseidon”. When a fan left a message stating that she hoped Jaejoong would do well for the drama, the writer replied, “Yes, I too am hoping for good news.”

However, with recent news of Yunho being confirmed for “Poseidon”, a controversy quickly arose.

Although the writer had previously rallied for Jaejoong, Yunho’s confirmation caused him to do a complete turn. He left contradictory tweets about Jaejoong’s supposed casting, “Sigh~ Internet news agencies putting in their [EXCLUSIVE] headlines and writing as if they don’t care what the truth is.”

Angry fans began tweeting back, “The writer is saying something completely different now. He acted as if Jaejoong would be cast for the drama at first” and “What happened to Jaejoong’s casting then?”

The writer responded, “There was nothing confirmed, and articles were already being released as if it was. We, too, are going through difficult times because of this. However, the fans are probably going through a much more difficult time than we are. This may seem like a fake statement, but I am truly thankful for every actor that chooses to work with me.”

Although he attempted to clarify the situation, fans continued attacking him for his hypocrisy until the writer eventually decided to terminate his Twitter account.
