Jaejoong-Yoochun-Junsu

 Hi,

Thank you very much for this! This is exactly our point and you get it, whoever you are! Exactly, it shows they’re all equals. JYJ isn’t JYJ without Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu. All three of them are equally instrumental in JYJ’s success and therefore it’s only fitting they operate without a leader and make collective decisions, at least in our opinion.

Exactly, not all groups need a leader and JYJ doesn’t need a leader. We believe they are all equally qualified to be the leader if they wanted to be. They have chosen not to and we respect and support them in that regard.

There’s something to be said about operating as a collective, which is one of the underlying philosophies of this admin group. At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is they are who they are and we will continue to support them as such like our founder has said.

Dear anon,

May we ask why this matter is of such importance to you? By all accounts, with the exception of DongBangData’s translation of ‘The JYJ Magazine’, JYJ never mentions anything else about anyone being the leader. Why then, should it be given any more thought? Whether it be Jaejoong, Yoochun, or Junsu that’s going to be designated as the leader, what does it matter? They still belong to the same group, and this title will be nothing but a title at the end of the day as JYJ – by everything that we’ve seen so far—values collective decisions between the three of them than 1 over 2.

With respect to DongBangData’s translations, that could simply be a difference in translations. We’ve posted JYJ3’s translations (which they’ve revised twice as they wanted the translations to be as true to the wording of the magazine as possible), and there are also other translations from JYJ fans that are not members of JYJ3; none of these translations ever mentioned Jaejoong being the definitive leader of JYJ. Moreover, JYJ3, if you’re not aware, is the biggest source of JYJ news; I highly doubt they’re going to miss something as important as Jaejoong being designated as the leader of JYJ if it were indeed there.

But, again, like we’ve said, until JYJ, Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu, or C-JeS ever issues an official statement regarding Jaejoong as the leader of JYJ, only then will we acknowledge this intriguing hypothesis as a fact. Until then, this matter is of miniscule importance to the administrators of this blog. We apologize if our answers aren’t in harmony with what you expect nor were aware of, but it is what we’re aware to be true until given sufficient evidence to be erroneous. If you wish, you can approach other JYJ fans that are more knowledgeable about this issue than us. We hope they’ll be able to provide a more satisfactory answer.

We are closing any more queries pertaining to this topic as it just doesn’t matter. JYJ will always be JYJ, they will be who we support, whether or not they have a leader, and regardless of who it is. I hope that this too, in the long run, will satisfy you as well.

Hi,

JYJ does not officially have a leader so this is not true. However, Jaejoong is considered the de facto leader because neither Yoochun or Junsu wants to be assigned as the leader and as a result, the title of leader kind of automatically falls on him.

It is because of this that several media sites refer to him as the leader of JYJ. The reality though is that it is just a title given to him and nothing more. He said in an interview for ‘Movie Week Magazine’ back in November 2012(link for reference) that he does not want to be leader of JYJ. I hope that clears it up for you.

Thank you very much! ^^
