(English translation of article from Singapore free Chinese newspaper, My Paper on 06/10/2011 http://showbiz.omy.sg/Showbiz/E-News/Story/OMYStory201110060513-280997.html)
For nearly a year, JYJ has been banned from Korean TV stations, they expressed frankly that they feel sad about being prevented from performing in their own country.
According to South Korean media reports, the three former members of TVXQ, Jejung, Yuchun and Junsu, who have made a new start as JYJ. However, it has been rumoured that Lee Soo Man of SM(their former company) had obstructed their appearance on KBS, making KBS blacklist JYJ, citing that they are involved in a lawsuit as the excuse.
Furthermore, KBS assumed that the acronym PSM which is part of the lyrics of their new song, Pierrot refers to President SM, the boss of SM Lee Soo Man. They banned the song, saying that it was a personal attack on Lee.
"Please help us!"
It has been a year since JYJ released their first ENglish album, "The Beginning" but they still have not been able to make an appearance on any television music program in South Korea.
Recently they released their first Korean album "In Heaven" and the three members expressed their desire to appear on Korean television music shows.
JYJ said, "We want to go on the programs, please help us! Especially since we have released a Korean album which should be eligible for the music charts of the television music shows."
"We are Koreans, therefore we wish to have promotional activities as singers in Korea. We have received a lot of support from other countries, yet we cannot promote freely in our own country, we feel very sad about this."
We Just Want A Fair Chance To Perform On Stage
"Our fans have waited a long time for this album, we are very pleased that we were able to release it. Although we could be saying 'It would be great if our song is first on the charts', we do not want to say that, we only want a fair chance to stand on stage to perform. However, even up till now we have not been given such a chance, which causes us a lot of distress."
