Joga 1,315 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 So it has occurred to me that SNSD and EXO will likely have to pretend that Jessica, Tao, Kris, and Luhan never existed for the rest of their careers. They will have to act like nothing ever happened in fear of a scandal culminating because of their words. But in multiple interviews, the press seems to hound them on their opinions, to the point where the managers have to step in to interrupt questions/edit out footage. How did TVXQ maneuver these questions when such a big scandal happened at the height of their careers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joga 1,315 Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 they did talk about it I mean the fact that they never said anything really worth the press reporting on, or a fandom dividing statement. I've read interviews and its always just fluff. But 6 years of it? It feels impossible that they kept everything bottled up in such an explosive time period.

jaehyun 1,909 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Maybe because of age and maturity? DBSK was a 6-year-old group when everything happened, but EXO was only 2, the group was still very new and maturity is something you gain only with experience.

R.U.M 87 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Hmmm.. TVXQ! is very well respected everywhere, hence it alraedy an advantage, people rarely or do not brave enough to bring up about it unless it was requested by TVXQ! to talk regarding it and clear things up. That show back in 2011 such TAXI or Guru Murapak/G.Fishery needs a months of prep just to talk about it. Oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiaraewiwiarae 6,637 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 They didn't avoid it. There was a giant shitstorm before, during and after the split. They were infact called traitors for staying, attacked by their own fandom multiple times and much more. And they released official statements during the mess and did talk about it during their first post split comeback on several tv shows. Compared to TVXQ, SNSD, EXO and f(x) had a smooth sailing with their members leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yume 3,886 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 They actually did talk about it but TVXQ has rarely gone on variety shows in Korea, so perhaps that helped them avoid it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they released official statements during the mess and did talk about it during their first post split comeback on several tv shows. Compared to TVXQ, SNSD, EXO and f(x) had a smooth sailing with their members leaving. pretty much, most people sided with JYJ at the time (including the biggest TVXQ fancafe) and Yunho and Changmin came under intense scrutiny, received multitudes of hateful netizen comments, had people asking them to commit suicide, people insulting and defaming their families, etc. people think they've never said anything about it and have avoided talking about it because of SM, and that they got off lightly because of it, but that's not true as mentioned above - they wrote and signed individual statements outlining their position, their parents wrote statements too, and both have talked about it on a few variety shows (which tbh is notable since TVXQ aren't on that many Korean variety shows anymore). I think they've said all they need to say, there's no need for them to drag it out repeatedly. not to mention because of Yunho, who's always been the leader for a reason, which is that he's a consummate professional and knows exactly what (and what not) to say when faced with difficult and awkward questions. you're not going to get a shady or insensitive quote out of him, whatever side you're on. both of them are more than aware of the divisions in their fandom it just seems rosy now because it's been so long since it happened and they've picked up the pieces of their career so well and made such a good, scandal-free impression on the general public since returning as a duo that no one has anything to complain about anymore. except for especially bitter stans of course, but that goes without saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJBeatles 744 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 That broadcast on Golden Fishery show was probably the only show that asked TVXQ serious questions about the other members. I believe Yunho and Changmin didn't give a say on what really happened, but wished best for other members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SugaJam 3,634 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 because there was no personal twitter or instagrams when they broke up, so no messy he said/she said they also had a 1 1/2 year of hiatus after the lawsuit when things have died down a lot so press werent as eager to ask questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole Korea flipped over them splitting up. AKB48 members were sad af over them splitting up. The Johnnys and LDH were happy on the other hand. But the Whole Asia were in tears, so.... Idk what you are talking about.... TVXQ splitting up really changed the music scenes in two countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuckfire 698 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Both sides were hated and if it wasn't for SM, the duo would have received no hate. People called them cowards for not having the guts to go up against the company and if you have seen what has happened to jyj, you understand why.
