[FanAccount] [Reader Discretion is Advised] Unpleasant Incidents at Kim Jaejoong Fanmeeting in Thailand 2012

Note: I woke up feeling like I need to share with the world what I witnessed at the fanmeeting. I've written another fan account filled to the brim with wonderful memories I had while neglecting to mention certain inappropriate things that actually happened - I will do so right here. I'll stick to the facts (between ** and **) in the first part while adding my personal comments later on.

Incident No. 1: Shouting that Yunho is Jaejoong's boyfriend
- This happened before the fanmeeting actually began. It was when fans started lining up to go inside the hall. There were booths that were set up outside - some selling contact lens, a small coffee shop and a booth for drinking water. Each booth has its own MCs to draw in customers. A male-female couple was MCing for the drinking water booth called "Chang Water".

At one point, the male MC asked the fans "Does Jaejoong have someone special? (literally the word "girlfriend/boyfriend" - that word in Thai does not specify which sex it would be)". A lot of the fans in the hall shouted "Yes!". MC continued to ask "Who?" - Fans replied loudly "Yunho" while screaming and giggling. MC kept on asking "Which band is he a member of?". A lot of people resoundingly answered "TVXQ".

Incident No. 2: A Yunjae fan
- A few moments after the fanmeeting had officially started and we all settled in our seats, some people in the A2 zone (in the 4th or 5th row if I'm not mistaken) began pulling out their fans (a chinese-looking ones that when collapsed you can't actually see what's written on them). They opened those up. The fans were quite big ones in red with gold letters in Korean that read "Yunjae". They waved those big fans throughout the fanmeeting.

Incident No. 3: Have you ridden a bear?
- This happened during a simple fan Q&A. This question was: Did Jaejoong get a chance to ride on an elephant? Jaejoong answered "No, I haven't. However, I did ride on a horse and a camel". Certain group of fans yelled up on stage for the MC to ask "Have you ridden a bear?" and began giggling. The MC did ask that question. When the translator translated for him, Jaejoong shook his head and answered "No, I haven't"

Incident No. 4: Shooting Yunjae during break time
- It was right after a short clip from Protect the Boss and Dr. Jin was played on screen. The clip had ended and everyone went silent for a while because the light was still dimmed. Suddenly someone started shouting loudly "Yunjae!", so some other began yelling "Kim Jaejoong" just as loud.

Seriously, people.... I'm beyond appalled. The incident No.1 happened right after the organizer had just announced that fans who were wearing shirts from other bands unrelated to JYJ will not be allowed up on stage if chosen as a lucky fan. Why haven't you learned what's appropriate or not?

Incident No.3 was not a big deal, but it was obviously filled with ill intention. After the fanmeeting ended, someone tweeted to the MC asking if he knew the underlying innuendo of the "bear" question or not. MC tweeted back "I just played dumb. Otherwise, I'll get in trouble for asking". (source: https://twitter.com/Vj_Que/status/260772209654636546)

I'm sad these things happened at what-could-have-been-an-absolutely-perfect fanmeeting. I always consider myself quite a mature fan. I've never harassed shippers or OT5. Their choices and opinions were theirs and I'm not going to cross the line and tell them what to think or feel. This, however, was sheer public humiliation and the world needs to know of their inappropriate behaviors. This was all I could recall. There might be more, but I'm glad I wasn't around to witness them.
