It’s good that Triangle is almost done airing, despite getting a random two-episode extension, because the promotions are going to explode in a few days when JYJ releases its second full-length album Just Us. It’s the group’s second full-length album since The Beginning was released three years ago, and will likely be the last album released by JYJ for the next two years. After promoting the album and going on tour this fall, all three members of JYJ including Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu will be enlisting for their mandatory military service. No word yet on which division(s) they are interested in joining or whether they will do the entertainment route or active duty. I keep my eye out for this group since they’ve been around forever and are quite talented, not to mention they successfully sued SM Entertainment and managed to have a career afterwards.
I confess to never listening to their new music but the last two years both Yoochun and Jaejoong have been hit-and-miss with their acting projects in ways that are memorable for me. Jaejoong is currently vastly improved in Triangle and really the Lee Bum Soo idol-whisperer magic has struck again. I actually like Jaejoong’s male lead character the most in that boring drama and his performance is also the most interesting to watch. I’ll consider his epic fail in Dr. Jin as a huge step back after a great first impression in Protect the Boss, and now he’s stepped back forward again. I’m less partial to Yoochun as an actor though he’s overall a much stronger actor than Jaejoong is, and probably ever will be. The problem I have with Yoochun is that he’s just not charismatic to me, whereas Jaejoong for some reason totally makes me want to stare at him when he’s onscreen. To ramp up the return of JYJ as a musical group, the handsome trio graces the cover and pages of the upcoming edition of Marie Claire Korea. They seriously look so fine together, love this pictorial!
I enjoyed Yoochun the most in the wacky but endearing Rooftop Prince, but he needs to stay away from melos like Missing You. Yoochun will have a big screen blockbuster in the movie Sea Fog to promote as well before he enlists, but for now his last drama might end up being the disappointing Three Days. Junsu is currently playing Dracula on stage where he’s most comfortable being able to sing and act.
This picture above is my favorite of the batch by far. So now that YunJae is but a pipe dream, is everyone shipping YooJae/JaeChun now LOL? XD
So the most recent casting for this drama is now confirmed as the final selection…
So there is a popularity award in both the film and the television sections of…

Gorgeous boys with immense talents! I hate the fact that they are still somewhat banned in their own country as singers. JYJ hwaiting :)
hee.. is JaeChun or soulmate that had been always trolling their Junsu~
I had been shipping JaeChun since their Colors~ Melody and Harmony. <3
You hit the nail right on the head. Yoochun might be a better actor than Jaejoong at present, but he doesn't have the charisma that Jaejoong has, for me, at least. Jaejoong wasn't bad in "Protect the Boss", I didn't watch Dr. Jin, but in "Triangle" he really is mesmerizing. If he can bring that intensity and charisma to his future projects, he really could solidify his rep as an actor.
Nevertheless, all three guys look super hot in these pics. And you can see they're totally at ease with each other. Great shots!
Wait, Mrs Koala, you have never heard Mickey sing "I really wanna touch myself" in the memorable "Purple line" song? :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1XEhAGFa9U
Always had a soft spot for Chunnie and always will. ^__^
Still got a soft spot for the boys and I am actually excited about "Backseat" and "Just Us"
Back Seat looks soooooo good.

Interesting indeed!!!! I came to know Yuchun throught SKKS, so this is getting me excited to see a different side of Yuchun.
Not a JYJ fan but Yoochun is the better actor and in the projects I've seen (3), I've genuinely liked him. Jaejoong does absolutely nothing for me and I still for the life of me can't get through Triangle cause they spend too much time with him. No one should speak of Dr. Jin.... But PTB for him was promising and I loved his OST track. Still play it.
Haha loved your reference to the Yunjae shippers still grasping at straws for their ship. Chunjae (genius in Korean) or Jaechun the ultimate drinking couple!
Small correction, JYJ actually released In Heaven in 2011 which was their latest album. Nevertheless it has been a long time since any group release.
In terms of acting I find that Yoochun's real test will be Sea Fog. Depending on critical and public reactions to that he may have a real long term career in acting like KSH or SJK. Crossing my fingers for him.
Jaejoong has so much potential, but his looks may be polarising for some viewers. He's on the right path so hopefully he chooses better projects in the future!
I adore this pictorial! I think I've started seeing Yoochun as more of an actor now, but Jaejoong always scares me with his projects. I keep hoping everything will be alright unlike what happened in Dr. Jin.
Have never been a dbsk music fan, but loved them on Xman, heartbreaking to see them separated because I loved u know yunho first, but through that whole SM debacle, I jumped ship man. JYJ hwaiting. I do love junsu's laugh.
I mean everyone should know ST is cray cray, since they tried to separate shinhwa--how MEAN. Who can trust them?
I agree that Yoochun is a better actor at this moment but Jaejoong got some serious charisma to compensate that. Now I want to see Junsu in some drama!
