thought LILYJOON‘s comment to my INTERNET IS A PUBLIC PLACE POST was quite interesting. definitely worth a read.
well, i guess some of you may feel the same way as lilyjoon does, when it comes to watching, supporting and loving this korean actor from afar…
lilyjoon wrote,hi hi bb!
it’s really hard to be a BYJ fan…. ಥ_ಥ why????
let me count d ways…
YJ can disappear anytime & will reappear after a certain period of time,& being a fan one must be patient, very patient…. very very patient!!!! he’s more often out of d limelight & when he’s out…. he’s nowhwere to be found…. terribly elusive for interviews, rarely seen on tv programs… hmmnn… unless it’s taped & very quick interview! notorious in having long breaks…in between works as in 7 months to about 2 yrs or more!
WHY IN HEAVENS SAKE I STILL LOVE THIS ACTOR????
i see Yong Joon more as d real person rather than d actor…
d sincerity in his eyes… d warmth & respect in his voice… d humility in his movements… respect for his values, admiration for his decisions, career management, his tireless efforts & determination to improve his craft…
i think i can withstand… few more years w/ Yong Joon…. say another 10 yrs or so??? ♥‿♥ hehehe…

mclara : One of my friends forwarded me a posting from Loquita, one of Japan family on Japan OB. I just want to share this with you all. Hoping you enjoy...
I don’t want to be too personal, but my brother is a TV news writer and he reported YJ at the airport and press conference when he visited Japan last time.
He knows that his older sister, me, has a huge crush on YJ, even after I got married and gave a birth to my baby.
He told me that YJ was his very first man to make him think, “Really unbelievable,” as he was reporting, though he has much experience of reporting show business. Especially he found it fantastic that YJ has his own secret strength and makes enormous efforts toward his work; Yong Joon is strict to himself while he is tender to others around him. More than anything, he holds his attitude to treasure his fans, calling that they are his ‘family.’
Through his career on coverage, he has seen that most stars both from overseas and domestic often tell reporters, “I won’t answer to questions other than the targeted movie,” or they tend to brush off questions from reporters. Many of them even handle their fans so roughly. However, this man Bae Yong Joon responds faithfully and honestly to every one of the questions. Even though his staff tried to stop him, he said that some reporters seemed to ask more questions and he extended the inquiring time.
My brother says, “Then I found why BYJ has been loved by everyone. This gentleman was polite and sincere to us all the time, though his fans and reporters might have been truly annoying him—especially we, the reporters tend to be treated like nuisance anywhere."
After that, his coworkers of reporters (they are men!) became his ‘family’ one after another. On the day YJ was leaving this country, my brother completely forgot he was on his reporting and shouted out to YJ, “Yong Joon ssi, Saran heyo!” while he wanted to say, “Yong Joon ssi, Kamsa hamnida!” Of course, his microphone was on, and when he and his staff edited the scene, he found that his shout was recorded. In order to edit the whole news for the evening news program, the part was cut (good heavens, it was ‘man’s voice’ saying, ‘saran heyo.’)
Later, my brother told me that he felt that he was completely drawn into the man at that time.
Thanks to for sharing!

[Flash Back] A Love From Puerto Rico
"One of the things that I love most is when I read the post about the feelings of BYJ fans. And thanks to baesister dam-su who has posted this on soompi. Thanks for sharing!^__^"

The one that started it all...
I think my absolute love & sometimes unhealthy obsession with everything Asian can be attributed single-handedly to one man and one man only.
BAE YONG JOON.
Before I fell completely in love with him the only Asian actors I actually knew about and liked were Chow Yun-Fat & Jet Li, and even then I had only seen them in American films. And of course I've always liked Asian-American actors like Lucy Liu & Margaret Cho amongst others. But I never had a true taste of real Asian culture until the first time I saw BYJ on TV. While other Bae sisters may have seen him for the first time in Winter Sonata, I actually discovered him through the kdrama 'Hotelier'. I had never in my life seen an Asian drama before, I didn't even know they existed. I was changing channels and landed on what was then International Channel and is now known as AZN TV (which sadly I don't have anymore *cries*) and saw these two Asian actors (at the time I didn't know they were Korean); who I later came to know as Song Yun Ah & Kim Seung Woo, and thought 'cool, an Asian movie', but it was only a matter a minutes before I discovered it was what I had come to know all my life as a Novela or soap opera. I became hooked immediately.
Curiously enough the first time I saw BYJ I didn't like him all that much, I know... hard to believe. I thought he was cute, but that was that. It was his portrayal of Frank Shin that made me fall completely head-over-heels in love with him. His performance in Hotelier in my opinion is one of his best to date. I just love him in that drama (even more than in Winter Sonata and that's a lot). After that I just had to find out more about him, the drama & the other actors.
It was while looking for more info on the theme songs of Hotelier that I discovered the great world of Kpop, which led me to Jpop & Cpop. After a while I developed a love for Asian movies, dramas & music. It's been a year and half since I first saw BYJ and thanks to him I've discovered a world full of rich culture, great music, stellar acting and entertaining stories.
My love for everything Asian is so great that I even have a deep desire to learn to speak, read & write in Korean and one of my biggest dreams is to visit South Korea someday.
To date I've only been able to watch 2 of BYJ's dramas (Hotelier & Winter Sonata) & one of his movies (Untold Scandal), but hopefully I'll be able to watch more of Yong Joon oppa and his amazing acting in the future.
While I've become a fan of many other Asian actors & music artists, Bae Yong Joon remains my favorite, and always will be. Because while reading more about him I discovered not only an amazing actor but someone who is real, kind-hearted & someone that makes his fans feel like family. His candor and humility keep me hooked to anything and everything he does. And I only wish the best for him in his professional & personal life.
So thank you Yong Joon for opening the doors to a whole new world & culture to me. You'll never know the impact you've had on this 26 year old latina from Puerto Rico.
