From another blog:  PITY JAEJOONG

I pity Jaejoong… Leaving TVXQ is the biggest mistake he has made. He loves being on stage but now he hardly has the chance to. He went through so much just to learn how to sing, but he barely releases new songs anymore. He acts now, but he couldn’t even win a popularity award (Yoochun won it), let alone a best new actor award. He used to be the most popular in Japan but now i doubt he can fair up to Yunho or Changmin’s levels of popularity. He used to be the most prominent/ recognizable member of TVXQ but now he is way behind and overshadowed by the rest of them. He used to have so many friends and yet now he is constantly alone. After the break, he is the least successful one out of the bunch and somehow, i have the feeling he is regretting making that decision. 

I am excited for Junsu’s solo but its shows how clearly ahead Junsu is compared to the other 2 music wise. I do think Jae never attending Elisabeth has something to do with him realizing this fact. Yoochun is way ahead acting wise while Jae did not even get to be the lead character. Yunho and Changmin, well, they showed people that they deserve the TVXQ’s name and fame, and were doing exceptionally well by their own. They made the decision that is best for them.

So that left Jae, the only one who still did not find his place. All his ventures so far are pretty halfhearted. He was the director of their tours, but frankly, many people including myself don’t think he did a good job with it. And apart from that 1 gymnast performance he helped out, there has not been any news since. He composed but his songs were not the best, apart from In Heaven. He attended some summits/functions but they are hardly called his own work. His voice is deteriorating (just see how heavily he breathed when singing during their recent fan meet), his looks too (I don’t want to get started on this). At this rate, Jaejoong will be the first of TVXQ to be forgotten, see the rate his fansites are being closed down?

S!b: People I know are either Jae biased/ JYJ fans or OT5. They either tell me I can’t doubt Jae or can’t compare among them coz they are “brothers” or he is still perfectly happy and I’m sick of it.

S!b: I tried voicing out once and got lashed at but I still want to put this somewhere so that people at least read it without prejudice. 

From me:

This might be a biased opinion but I found it quite true. Junsu is super successfully with his musicals and awards and even a blasting cool solo album. Yoochun has acted in 3dramas and found awards for 2 of it already. Jaejoong has.. Attended a president function which is quite cool.. Became a director for their tour, honestly I thought it was good, being a director isn't easy (you go try it) and it's his first time. He wrote In Heaven, totally awesome ballad, I love it so much. Filmed protect the boss, gosh he was so funny together with JiSung. Now he's filming DrJin and the movie. I can't say he's on the losing side in the industry cause a movie isn't small scale and he's the first to do it in JYJ. Dr Jin too, although he isn't a lead, he's still a pretty important character inside. Enough said. 

You know what, Cassies and everyone, let Jaejoong do whatever he wants. He knows his limits and schedules. He wants it, he will do it. He wants a break, he will get a break. Who cares if he doesn't seem so busy nowadays and hangs out with friends often? It's all good, he's living as a human again. Isn't that why he left SM in the first place? To be human. To reclaim his rights. He has done it and he succeed. Now, he just has to live his life the way he wants. He can even marry tomorrow because he CAN.(provided he finds himself a gf first). Cassies won't forget him. I won't.  If they do, they're not called Cassies. They're merely a fan. A normal fan. I wish him luck.

 But yeah, a spoiler, he does look like he aged a lot. It's his hairstyle, I can safely say. And make-up. Seriously. If you sleep for 3 hours a day, you smoke and you have to film all day long, you will look like shit. That I guarantee. I only study half a day, sleep for 6hours a day and play the rest of the time, and I look like shit. Think about the different man. It's huge. Obviously, he will not look good with such schedules. If you're thinking of comparing him with Junsu and Yoochun, I suggest you don't. Because Junsu's caked with make up nowadays, I can't even start on that. Yoochun's face is not flawless. If you watched RTP, you'll surely know. It's caked with powder too. I can see it. So, with a complexion like Jaejoong, you can only thank the gods. Cut him some slack. I'm totally speaking for him, I realised that myself. But really, THEY'RE ALL HUMANS. Sometimes, people are just too lazy to dress up or fix  their hair. It happened to me and I ignored people who didn't appreciate that. No matter what, you're you. Jaejoong is Jaejoong. Even if he turns ugly and grows a mustache one day, he's still Jaejoong, the man whose voice I loved so much , his awesome dress sense, the dry awkward humor and random moments. 

Enough said? Hehe Jaejoong wasn't even the person I admired and respected in the first place. I just find him awesomely cool and his VOICE is just.. WOW. The first was Suju's Eunhyuk, that guy is even more awesome. Personality-wise, I mean. But Jaejoong.. Is just so free-spirited. So.. me.
