**********************************************************
Fact 1: Since when was JYJ able to hold activities in Japan allowing them to earn that Yen 20million?
Fact 2: Since when did JYJ earn that Yen 2million in Korea? When was the period of comparison?
Fact 3: JYJ fans know that JYJ was not allowed of any activites in Japan because of contract issues and they barely started out in Korea.
Fact 4: As compared to activities in Japan, JYJ had more activities in Korea, the rest of Asia Pacific and US and Canada.
Fact 5: JYJ debuted in Japan as a Japanese artist and not Korean artist and has been recognised as a Korean debuted in the Japanese Entertainment industry over the last few years as previous 5-member group.
*************************************************************
The Japanese were protest about the airing of Korean TV Programs on their TV. Why was there a comparison made about the earnings of what Korean artists who ventured into Japan earned?
The Japanese and Korean news basically reported only about the protest that was being made. But, when the news article reached the rest of SEA countries, the content of those articles have been distorted.
Nevermind if those reporters used all general Korean artists as a whole to make a comparison.
Why is only JYJ used in Singapore media? From what source did they get their information about the news from? And Singapore might seem like a small country but the impact they bring out to people about the Entertainment circle is not small. The news that has been reported in Singapore would have caused a negative impact on JYJ's image within Singapore and perhaps outside Singapore.
