Oh boy.

(And I like your WTF Files category.)

JYJ fandom isn't against her casting, it's just Yoochun's crazy drama fans who are acting this way. Other members' fans aren't as invested in the casting of this drama because unlike most other fandoms, JYJ fandom has more individual fans than group fans.

what!!!!
I don't believe this....that fans can do something like that too...!!

Whoa! Calm down people.! They say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. That's all i have to say to them.

PS: What's up with her left knee in the 3rd picture with Yoochun?

Wow, crazy!! Hope she doesn't get kicked out, that is the problem with K-fandoms, they are like Belibers, they take things waaaaay too far.

This shit is just stupid.

They shouldn't have the right to complain about casting, when Yoochun is the one that is miscast as he still just cannot act.

Omo!! That is weird.. Im scared with this kind of fans.. It seems like they can kill people by juz using their hate.. Sheesh

Those Netizens ... so much time to waste ):

I am a JYJ fan and proud of it.. But what the heck? I can't believe this is happening. Yoochun should say something an stop this. For a split second I thought we were talking about.Choi Kang Hee and Joo Won..

Definitely a WTF case!
Those crazy control freaks fans need a therapy! Stat!
Before shooting, ask anything you want. Once it has started, take it or leave it.
And yes, for people who claim to be hardcore fans,they don't seem to know how the system works.
Plus I agree on the lame reason: Sexy pics? Wtf once again: You see worst on stage with the female K pop singers. What kind of stupid moral code is this?
I was glad when I read than Yoochun asked his fans to basically accept and tone down their whining: They didn't want YEH, nor that second girl. What do they want? To have him for them only like a toyboy in a room?
Geez, I will never understand that behavior.

What in the what!!??? sigh....bitches be cray-cray (excuse my language but this is just ridiculous)

Lol, are they serious? I worry about humanity. I really do.

Poor Girl :(
It must be nerve wracking enough to film a drama in the first place and then to have all the added pressure of crazy fans hating on you for no reason.
I hope she's okay :(

netizens are at it again.. what's new... It's kind of sad that I'm almost not surprised anymore...

I would like to quote Arang for my response to the Batshit-Crazy-Fangirls.

Arang: "you can’t use logic with a dumb person—you have to be equally nonsensical and counter stupidity with stupidity."

Me: GET A FUCKING LIFE YOU CRAZY PSYCHO BATSHIT FANGIRL NETIZENS

Eyeroll, netizens.

I agree with your sentiments, JB. Sometimes people make a stir just to 'cause a stir and feel important in someone's life (ie Yoochun). He should come out and say something...not like THAT would go over well with nutters, but y'know.

Thanks for the news!

Crap like this is ridiculous. Ugh.

Those idiots go crazy on shower or 6-pack shots of male idols and then curse the females for being sluty! There is not even a bit of standpoint in their argument! Sadly we are just a bunch who think like that....!

i laughed so hard i cracked my lip! this is so hilarious :))

I think this says something pretty striking about the demonization of women who have access to their sexuality.

I wouldn't blame the fans as much but more a society that tells them that women who have sex (and like it) = bad women.

I've seen some similar shaming of Song Ji Hyo in comments on Running Man videos after people discover the film 'Frozen Flower.'

I loved Soulmate, and her character in it and I hope she does well in this drama.

This is loony tunes. I don't even understand the objection -- she's got a sexy image? And for this, they want her to lose a job because she might breath the same air as their idol? It makes me hope the actors start dating in public, just so these fans would really lose their minds.

The part that gets me about this is that they're causing problems for this guy they idolize because they think they get to dictate who he does and doesn't work with, based on what seems to be a deep-lying fear that if oppa is around a sexy lady, he might, I dunno, get some? This is just strange.

She just did some Star Hwabo variety shoots? Are you sure?

Are you people actually researching what you write?

Honestly, whatever she's done, fans these days act like they own a celebrity just because they support and enjoy their work. What happened to watching a show or listening to a song, enjoying the performance, and leaving it at that. I dunno, did the actor say he needed their defence or protection from this big bad sex kitten??

actually, rather than fans, i prefer term used by enewsworld, which is 'a bunch of netizens'. they refused her for 2 reasons, yes, one is the 'racy pics' the other is bcoz those netizens accused that the reason foe her to be picked was bcoz Cjes, Chun's agency company, make the production team hired her aka 'you may casted Chun but you shoud casted her too..'

idk, actually as JYJ fans, i never heard about this before, and i'm quite updated in the fandom since i have several tlists who are koreans and actually live at South Korea. but the 1st time i heard abt this news was a day before Miss You presscon which is today (or yesterday as now its 12.38 am).

many JYJ fans are just happy that we can see Chun again this year. well, many disliked it when Lee Dae Hae joined Ms Ripley, but fans just happy to see him. we know that Chun is still considered junior in dramaland, and all the other casts are his seniors. Eun Hye and Yoo Seung Ho are famous too. we understand fans cant demand anything with the production. this isnt only about Yoochun. the other casts are well known name in drama land. so i was really suprised with this news. that fans 'demand' cast changing..

heck, even YooChun also said the same today in the presscon and apologized to her and others involved in the drama.. as fans, i'm hoping it was just netizens not really fans... but even if they are indeed fans, i hope those people understand, this drama isnt only abt YooChun. and that the negativity will be viewed upon him, and the drama hasnt even started yet..

Wow, this is crazy!! I feel so horrible for this actress. It boggles my mind how people can think that this sort of rabid fandom behavior is ok or even justifiable. And for a secondary role? Madness.

I really hope this dies down and that Jang Mi-in-ae is able to let the whole experience roll off her back. What an awful, awful thing to go through, especially at the beginning of a drama. How could this possibly not sully the experience for her? I'm rooting for her to act the hell out of her role now, and blow all these crazy netizens away.

OMG is she really THE Min-ae from Soulmate ??? Seriously ?? I didn't even recognize her xD she's still so beautiful. Good to see her again.
And I agree with you, "Soulmate" is really one the best drama ever made. It was only a sitcom and yet it was just so well written and the OST was beautiful. I'll never get tired of the song "C'mon through" <3

jyj fans? really? because jyj fans complained about some yoochun only fans making a big deal out of this. but hey it's osm to generalize right :D

Why JB is talking about this without talking about preview & press con? This JMIA whole thing is rediculous, the timing of the new came out is so odd, I think these are all media play. I watched her in soulmate she is good for villain role. I just don't know if she match the role or not, by today press con pics she look a bit older than the cast, hope she change hairstyle & what she wear. Yoochun has variety of fans why suddenly jyj fan got blamed. They alone cannot do this. I have nothing against racy video but for the info the kind she took was not standard is called Karmasutra & contain action with guy. She is beautiful in there though.

totally wtf, you can't just tell someone to leave because of someone else i mean yoochun isn't king, sure he's the main lead but still if yoochun's fans are demanding someone else to leave, they should ask yoochun and not her. selfish fans?

Stupid fans are stupid.

Fangirls need to get real lives. How can you mess with someone's livelihood like this? Fandom shouldn't be so serious.

Wow.. That's just sad and extremely childish!
These people don't even have a valid/legitimate reason for firing the actress and they expect the producers to do so just by kicking up a big fuss?!

Gosh I can only imagine the day when poor JYJ has to announce their marriage plans, these people will probably threaten to murder the spouses to take their place! (Ok that may be a little extreme but you get the driff.. LOL)

those fans does not realize that their demand could affect yoochun as well...get over the childish phase please...this makes me remember "Dating on Earth" issues...if you get what i mean...

I've been following this issue since it was first brought to the table by drama fans (not Yoochun fans) on MBC dcinside gallery, and I can tell you that not everything that has been released by the press are accurate.

The drama fans had problems with her sullied image (having released a nude photoshoot) and bad acting (calling her the epitome of 'foot acting', which had been so bad that in her previous dramas, she received so much complaints that her scenes were all cut).

MBC and LeeKim production (the production company for this drama) do not like Jang Mi In Ae's casting either, but they had no choice but to accept her because C-JeS (Yoochun's and Jang Mi In Ae's management company) used her casting as a condition for Yoochun's casting. When her casting was first confirmed, MBC encouraged drama fans to voice their opinions/dissatisfaction over her on the MBC comment section on their homepage. MBC fuelled the contention.

Just 2 days ago (a day before the press conference), a news was released by the media regarding this issue, saying specifically that it was Yoochun's fans who were making the complaints, when it wasn't exactly just Yoochun's fans. And guess what? C-JeS released it to the press itself. At what expense? Angering Yoochun's fans further to publicise Jang Mi In Ae.

And Yoochun did make a clarification at the press conference, having to 'feel apologetic' towards Jang Mi In Ae.

Everything is just media play, and the timing C-JeS released this news was to coincide with the press conference, providing publicity (albeit bad, but there's the saying that bad publicity is still publicity) for the drama and Jang Mi In Ae.

Yoochun fans are embarrassing him and embarrassing themselves. All this is going to do his make PDs reluctant to work with Yoochun.

I shudder to even think how things would be if netizens ruled the world.

Wow, that's just crazy.

I'm so glad the production team is standing by her, not only because I love her but because that would be a terrible way for any actress to be dropped from a drama. I hope her performance will change people's minds, and if not, I at least hope that they'll learn to get over their disappointment.

Craziness.

korean netizens!!!please get a grip of yourselves!!its just a freakin drama.get a life.

These particular group of fans have really gone overboard. Because of their stupid act, Yoo Chun is getting back all the unintentional hate. Poor guy.
