bae yong joon & so ji sub

I guess most of you know that So Ji Sub together with Mgr. Yang, Ms Kim and a small entourage went to Japan to promote his drama "I'm Sorry I Love You". If you want to read details please check here [my previous post].

The photos of SJS in Japan created some "panic" and concerns from his fans. Take a look at the photos below. Have you wondered why?





Surprising, but yes your eyes are not playing tricks on you. SJS kinda resembed BYJ when he appeared in front of his 5,000 fans in Yokohama wearing a suit. Take a closer look, he is even wearing a black pinky ring.

And this article was published in Taiwan.

Someone in SJS english forum said that the above article mentioned "Copy BYJ". The article is from Liberty Times.

Honestly, it's really no big deal to me if they resemble or not. It's only in the photos and few other photos that was taken before when SJS was not still with BOF.

We all very well know that both have their unique sense in style, aura, charisma and personality. And I believe that BOF will not package its talent like BYJ.

With the look of SJS like BYJ, fans of SJS are somehow having doubts on the capacity of BOF to handle SJS. When BOF took SJS from his former management company, fans of SJS were really surprised and do not like BOF for the reason that they do not want SJS to be "commercialized" like BYJ.

Like i said, i'm a known SJS fan also. Honestly BOF or with other company, I know that SJS will really do good because he is a good actor and knows his craft very well.

I do understand other SJS fans doubting BOF. SJS''s former management company and managers were very friendly to his fans and fans liked very much the kind of relationship they have with them. But from what i'm seeing since SJS has been under BOF, he has been well taken cared off. I just hope that fans of SJS will give BOF a chance. It has not been 1 year since he's been with BOF.

I'm so happy with the BYJ family, I know most of us is also supporting SJS because he is already a "family".

Btw, i suggested in SJS english forum that if they really don't want the new style of SJS, then they should write to Ms. Hong vis BOF. ^^

Guys, i would love to hear your comments but please no negative comparison. ^_^

Ops, I almost forgot just to give this post some balance, there are fans though of SJS who like his new look and wishing that BOF can make SJS into a big star.

Here let me share with you more photos of SJS from Japan. Actually, these photos of SJS below doesn't even resemble him with BYJ.

[thank you thank you so much dear tomato]

am10:45
looking back this trip to Japan, SJS left this message;"On this trip to Japan, I was so touched by everyone's grand welocome. I was happy to meet everyone again. Because of the schedule, I was only able to meet some of you, but I will be looking forward to meeting you again soon."
Looking back his stay in Japan, and he gave a affectionate farewell, SJS has left a warm message.

pm12:20
At airport, where "hellos" and "goodbyes" cross intersect.
When SJS was about to leave Japan, there were about 300fans to see him off. Soon, with big cheers, SJS appears to airport. He waves his hand to fans with smile, and answers to everyone's cheers. Upon going through departure gate, SJS bowed deeply and showed his appreciation. He left for home, with everyone's voice calling his name.

+++++++

what is 'manly'?, i wonder sometimes. I finally got the answer when I met this MAN. 'Manly'seems to be a word for So Jisub himself. He looks cool, though his heart is warm always caring about people around him. During the days while I was with him, I understood the 'manly' of So Jisub, he is a gentleman and honest.

What about going back the footsteps he left while staying in Japan? Go back and remember the time SJS had spent in Japan....

one thing about BOF that we all should know. they BOF the managers DO COMMUNICATE with the family of fans. both local and overseas families do hv certain 'communication/relationship' with them.

and u'll be surprise how wonderful these ppl are. i guess its just a matter of time when sjs fans too can 'relate' to BOF.

'Copy BYJ'? nah~~
don think THE BOSS wants a biscuit mould out of him.
fret not sjs fans(im a mini sjs fan too ^^) it is only bcos sjs has got what it takes that bof has signed on him. so hv faith in the guys ^^

yokee 요키 said...

and oh...im glad that im already a sjs fan even b4 he joins bof. so ppl wont say that i like him all just bcos he 'relates' to yj hehe..

btw im promoting sjs to my aunt thru MISA ^^

liezle said...

hey yokee!

you know what? ever since bof was established i'm very grateful for them. they been very considerate to the fans and always gives us an update via their notices at the official boards be it in kob or job.

bof is a very young organization and run by very young and dynamic people. and yet they are very professional and businesslike.

anyway, you are right when you wrote that it'll just be a matter of time for sjs's fans to appreciate bof.

there will only be 308 days to go before sjs finishes his term in the army. and everyone is anticipating the "day" and what bof's first project for him.

liezle said...

additional info on sjs's former managers.

majority of sjs's manager in his former mgmt company were female. opposite to bof where in the company is dominated by male managers. ^^

liezle said...

have a great day everyone!

hi, liezle,

I hope SJS had enjoyed his stay in Japan,,, nothing updated at JOB to inform us what he was doing yesterday. note much news on media to introduce SJS's visit, will have to wait for the magazines to come out, i hope.

So, he will be probably catching KAL 13:00 flight from Haneda.
I will look for updates and come back later.

it is a rainy day in Tokyo,
have a nice day!!

cheers,

liezle said...

thanks again tomato.

i think bof didn't hype much sjs's visit in japan bec he is still in the military and i believe that there are some restrictions to his visit. he can only promote misa and nothing more.

it's been raining here also in our country over the weekend and right night the skies are gloomy. we have a typhoon somewhere in our country.

take care and have a great week!

I’ve been in and out of JiSub thread and forum and can still read worry notes from some of his fans. Though I think some opted to keep silent. Anyway, because of this I asked a Korean friend who is a fan of SJS. I asked her what Korean fans of SJS think of SJS becoming a member of BOF. According to her, most of those who worry much are those who are basically new fans (Misa fans).

This Korean friend of mine has been a fan of SJS for the past 10 years. And I think that she is a true fan because she has strong confidence to SJS and according to her SJS has never disappointed her in any of his decisions.

In addition, according to her she is satisfied with what is BOF doing and that she doesn’t see what exactly people are worrying about BOF’s management.

What is my point in sharing this with you? I somehow feel that most of the Korean fans of SJS have the same view as my friend.

One more thing, she said that she likes BYJ and that 5 years ago she thought that SJS will be like BYJ. So when she heard that SJS joined BOF she laughed out loud and said that “SJS might have heard her”. ^_^
