Hey there guys,
I just opened my blog and was surprised to see the number of comments made on the previous post about Hyun Joong in Hong Kong. Usually, I get really happy to read comments, but this time round, I was mostly shocked and sad to see us Joongboers hurling such fiery statements at each other.
First of all, the pictures of Hyun Joong and Yong Saeng meeting a couple of female friends and getting into a cab together. I don't really understand why this is being blown out of proportion this way. Friends do travel together, and they do go clubbing and do take cabs back to their hotels. I've been clubbing till the wee hours of the morning, and even though my place was a mere 15 minute walk away from the clubbing spots, I always took a cab. Clubbing is tiring! The hours you spend on your feet!
Plus, they were away on holiday so I really wouldn't expect them to walk back to their hotel. Even if Hyun Joong and Yong Saeng weren't celebrities.
They did state that they were all vacationing together, so it does make sense that they all stay at the same place. When you go travelling with friends, would each and every one of you stay in a different hotel? Really?
And, we don't even know where they went after that. For all we know, they went to sample some of Hong Kong's best dimsum places. Or desserts. Or they went to Victoria Peak just for the heck of it.
So why are we jumping to conclusions and assuming that they went and did the wild thing?
As for Hyun Joong not spending Hwang Bo's birthday with her, I doubt that they would actually be able to do that, even if they really were a couple. I mean, they are busy people. And they are under scrutiny. They can't even spend their birthdays with their own families!
And it is unfair to judge Hyun Joong for not being there for her birthday. As many of you guys have said, it's unlikely that she spent his birthday with him too. And nobody said anything then. So why should anything be said now?
Besides, she was scheduled to be with her fans, people who love her, support her and stay with her through thick or thin. If I were Hwang Bo, I'd choose to be with them too. I can be with a guy any time, it's just one person. But to meet ALL my fans at the same time, celebrating my birthday together with me and to show them how much I appreciate them, it's a once in a year opportunity.
I like to think that he did what he did last year. Send her a really nice text that cheered her up when she was feeling depressed during her birthday. After all, with the both of them it's always the smaller things that matter most right? In the words of Hwang Bo, she'd take peanut necklaces over rings and shoes any day!
I really don't get why people are accusing Hyun Joong of breaking the JoongBo dream. What is the JoongBo dream anyways? To me JoongBo means to enjoy each minute with people you care about. To share and care with the world, while staying true to yourselves. They never once stated that they were an official couple, so why is Hyun Joong being given the third degree for 'cheating' on her? Did he even do that?
What exactly did he do?
He went to relax, have a good time with his buddies before getting into a cab and leaving the scene. Is he being judged for being seen drinking? Or for being seen with girls? He has announced to the world that he can drink, bottles and bottles of soju. He has pictures of him with his female friends from school, hanging out and drinking together.
So why is this any different?
Because it was not in Korea? Or because it was during her birthday?
As I said, I don't get it.
I don't want to see this state of war going on here, I mean we all get together because of one reason. That being that we support JoongBo. Meaning we support both Hyun Joong and Hwang Bo. The two different entities.
Remember that there can't be a JoongBo without either one of them.
Many of us became TS after JoongBo. Likewise, many of us became Hye Jung Angels after JoongBo too. There is no need to differentiate and throw knives at each other. Would any of them want to see you guys hurting each other like this? The both of them appreciate their fans the most, and would most definitely not want to see this going on.
As for those who are saying that he owes to her for being so successful and vice versa. I'd like to take a different stand on that statement. I say they owe it to Kang Koong PD. For recognizing a good thing when he sees it. For knowing what would make them appeal to the masses. For giving them a chance to partner up. For giving them the platform to explore so many other avenues. For allowing us to get to know them and love them.
Cheers, Kang Koong PD! I thank you!
While I can understand that many of you guys feel hurt and disappointment, please don't let it get to your heads and cause you to bash each other here or anywhere else.
It's just another news article blown out of proportion again after all.
That's all it is.
Harmony people, harmony.
Love,
Chonsa
