I love you for this. kpop the way is now kind of disappoints me. they are focusing more on looks and dancing. srsly, only few can sing well live. and as you said, I doubt any typical idols would survive if thrown in the same situation as jyj. jyj is breaking records of their own eventhough korean media don't report it. they break through south america and europe where no kpop act dared to. only after they saw the success of jyj in there that they followed suit. so yes. I agree with you. also, people outside the typical kpop box are recognizing jyj for their own talent as artists/singers and actor. they are breaking the prejudices of people regarding kpop idols. coz let's be honest, kpop is not by far the only thing in korea.
