Hey Stargazers! Please don't worry about the negativity surrounding us outside of our thread. I'm definitely paying it no mind at all, so just ignore it because THEY CAN'T TOUCH US! We know best the type of behavior we hold ourselves to when it comes to shipping JoonU, the respectful behavior, so the opinions of outsiders don't and shouldn't matter.
The truth will be revealed in time for everything.
Plus, there's no changing the opinion of butt hurt people no matter what we do, so why waste that time when it's better spent elsewhere? Like gearing up to celebrate MLSHR's first anniversary and shipping our JoonU?!

Hello Stargazers! What a ride we've had so far, huh?
RL has been kicking my butt as usual, so I haven't checked in with y'all for a long time, but I've been keeping up with all the news.
I just want to say how proud I am of our ship for handling the LJG-JHB break up news in such a respectful, calm manner and I'm glad that Soompi Stargazers can truthfully say that we are NOT part of the JoonU shippers that flood IU, JG, and/or JHB with disrespectful comments on their social media. I'm glad y'all are a part of this ship!
When the time is right, may our ship sail in the direction it was meant for!
Hwaiting!!

Hello my darling Stargazers!
It's been a while since I last checked in. It's not because I jumped ship or abandoned JoonU and my crew. There's just not enough hours in a day for me to do everything I need to and want to. How is everyone? Does everyone love Palette as much as I do and did everyone find as much crumbs from it as I think I did? Haha
I finally made an IG account separate from my personal one, so I can ship and post JoonU as often and as much as I want without annoying/spamming my RL friends.
https://www.instagram.com/captainstargazer/
Hope you'll follow it~ Hehe.
Keep the faith, y'all! Stand strong and believe in JoonU. Who knows? We might be getting some good news in a few months. Haha. Wishful thinking~

Carpe Diem
Just a little something I shared on SikSeekLand earlier... I think it's interesting that the swing jazz bar was named "Carpe Diem", which means to seize the day. It was first used by Horace in this phrase:
Dum loquimur, fugerit invida
Aetas: carpe diem, quam minimum credula posterowhich translates as:
While we're talking, envious time is fleeing: pluck the day, put no trust in the future
The idea of seizing the day and putting no trust in the future runs contradictory to the mindset of revolutionaries who suffer today in hope of a better future. With such a name, the jazz bar served as a perfect guise for revolutionaries who believed otherwise. But at the same time, it reflected an internal struggle for these youths living in the prime of their lives. Should we forget about press submission deadlines and just dance the night away? Should we forget about political ideals and betray the country for monetary comfort? With this in mind, it then becomes worth noting that YJO was the owner of the jazz bar. He was also the one who told SHY what it meant.
After watching ep 6, it seems logical to think that maybe YJO was the traitor. If he was shot and killed from behind, then he wouldn't know who killed him, why and how. Also, he was sitting in front of the typewriter, so it explained why his soul was trapped in it. Right now, I think all options are open; any one of the OT3 could've been a traitor, or maybe none of them were.
I love the explanation behind why the jazz bar was named Carpe Diem. It makes a lot of sense. Also agree with the theory that YJO was the traitor and could have been the one that had been shot dead. Really enjoyed reading this post.
With that being said, annyeong everyone! Started watching CT two days ago and I'm all caught up and absolutely LOVING every moment of it. Love the multiple dimensions of all the characters, the cinematography of the 1930s, the way the transitions between past and present takes place, and the slight humor embedded into the dark and mysterious. I'm seriously SO hooked!

Curious to see what Joongi has planned for us after that interesting teaser we were given today. (Why does it seem like JoonU crumbs in a way too? LOL) There was so much tiny detail, things to take note of, and items to dissect. Can't wait to see what that's all about.
Feeling rather calm and level-headed for his FM too. I'm still very interested and invested in seeing what he'll do and say, since this will be face-to-face rather than post-to-post. I have faith in Joongi and in JoonU~ ^^

ANNOUNCEMENT:
As you may already be aware, several of the GongGo shippers have been permanently or temporarily banned. This is because the Soompi staff has found solid evidence of those members cyberbullying others in a very serious and threatening manner, which is ILLEGAL. We have a no-tolerance policy for crimes of this nature and have taken the actions deemed necessary without the involvement of law enforcement. We have shown leniency in this regard.
My "ownership" of the thread is temporary until a more suitable GongGo shipper can be found to steer your ship... the right way. If there are any volunteers, feel free to speak up.

A stargazer who wishes to remain anonymous messaged me with her analysis/comments of Joongi's letter as well. There are some points she mentioned that I had failed to with my post, so with her approval, I'm sharing it here:
SpoilerHello, I liked your analisis...This is what I sent to one of us... analizing his letter.ays hoped to show only the good looks to you who have trusted me for such a long time, and had wanted to return your hearts.However, I have a very heavy heart to think how our family got shocked and confused under this sudden circumstance.Since this was first time (which was the second time?) for me to have different feelings for a colleague on the work, it was unfamiliar to me and it took me a long time to realize my heart. (If it took Two loooong years to realize he might love her...then he doesn't love her). Sorry...but you fall in love or you don't. It doesn't take such thing as "carefully dating" to realize you love somebody or not.She (excuse me? who is "she"? Does "she has a name? why not to say her "NAME"? Why he was always saying Jieun...and now he can not even expell his "dating companion name"? Sorry but he still "doesn't love her and he is "not proud to even mention her name").is a bright and warm hearted person who understands a lot of things of me and empathises me.(Empathises me? really? Why not to say "she loves me for what I am?" it sounds better and sends a message to HIS FANS that she really loves him and will protect him) Not buying this at all people!I had lots of worries on how to break the news to you because I was going on with this relationship gingerly. (Again, he was not gingerly with Jieun...He didn't said "whatever Jieun asks him, he would do". In public? So he was gingerly with his GF and not with his "colleague". If i have a boyfriend and he said gingerly...I will leave him right away!He still doesn't know what he is saying? If somebody says publicly that it took him two years of a ginger dating for him to decide if he loved me or not...I WILL LEAVE HIM right away! He is not more that me! Do I have to wait until He decides he loves me?I wish I could have let you know this at a better time and in a better way but it did not work out as my wish, so I am terribly sorry.I am sorry and am very grateful to those who are cheering me with concerns.Also, I feel responsible for the way I showed myself in the entertainment program. So it was just in the Entertainment Program MEC and not even mentioned the awards night? The interview in Taiwain? It was not Wang SO who went to a Fans meeting in Taiwan...it was LJG! So he didn't have to agree when the MC was interviwing him about being a couple with JE in real life". During his last interview he said he falls in love very quickly... two years is not quickly.I would like to express my apologies to the people who loved it and to all the people who worked for it together.I would like to repay you with a more sincere and solemn pace. Also, as much as the love I have received, I would like to show good looks in the works and will try harder to repay the love you have sent for so long,My family,I hope you are not having a hard time and upset because of me.Have good dreams and be filled with happiness each and every day.Thank you always, and thank you again.Translation by Elly@JGfamilyThis is just a very simple PR apology...I do not think it has any meaning for him...sorry...not buying. It doesn't show any emotions... I do not know if it is the translation.-

Ah... I'm so glad to see everyone that has decided they will ship until we sink or soar with me~
My intuition has never been wrong before and has served me well throughout my life. I hope JoonU won't be the oddball here. Hehehe.
We've got this, Stargazers! We can make it! Keep the faith and FIGHTING!!

Hello my lovely Stargazers,
I see that our ship took another hit from a wild canon today... There are a lot of thoughts running through my head right now, but the few that are startlingly clear at the forefront is this:
It's not over. Yes, let me repeat that for everyone.
IT IS NOT OVER.
Y'all can think I'm crazy, too delulu, obsessed, in denial, or what have you, but I don't believe all of this is going to simply end like this. I fully expect more of my crew to jump ship and swim back to shore. I half expect to be the only presence here on JoonU Stargazer Ship. But I wasn't kidding when I said I'm in this for the long haul. I'm in this until the end. I'm going down or going home with the ship. There is no in-between. Even with Joongi's letter to us, I am unwavering. My faith is still strong. And I believe in the power and love of JoonU.
Why?
Because I saw, with my own eyes, Joongi behaving in a way he has never done before in front of another woman. Happy in a way I've never seen him be. I did my research and I've plenty of Hajunse to back this up for me as true. I saw, with my own eyes, IU glowing, happy, comfortable, and confident in a way she has never been. In all the years I've been Uaena (since 2009), this is the first time I have ever seen her this way. This is the first time that IU has looked at a man the way she looks at Joongi, including K. There is something more here. This is also the first time she has ever initiated any form of skinship with a man (that hug from Taiwan concert, anyone?)
I am confident that those emotions and that happiness was completely genuine. It wasn't Joongi being a flirt. It wasn't Jieun being led on. It wasn't fan service or finding things that weren't really there.
Additionally...
I wasn't going to reveal this at first but... I did a tarot card reading on JoonU and JHB last week. The night of the dating confirmation. I am NOT a professional, but I have played the cards and practiced these skills whenever I could for the last decade. Ten years. So while I may not be completely accurate, I don't think I'm completely off the mark and shooting in the dark either.
The results of the reading I did was this:
Joongi is caught between two women. Between these two women is one he loved, on and off, from before and one he loves now. One has the ability to influence him easily and the other is a ray of light. Both of these women love him in return. His fate is unwritten and lies within his hands. He is faced with these two choices and the choice he makes is the fate he chooses for himself. A marriage with one woman will be a beautiful, happy union... but a marriage with another woman will be plain and unfulfilling.
Now, I do not know with certainty which description goes with which woman, but I have my own guesses. In any case, with that being said, do I believe Joongi chose JHB? I don't.
As I look at Joong's letter now and with each re-read that I do, I grow more and more certain that he didn't choose JHB. No, not really.
Take another look at his letter:
SpoilerI'm joon-gi.
First, I am sorry to inform you later.
For fans who have trusted me for a long time...
I always show good looks...
but Sudden things was happened...
fans are surprised and confused. so My heart is heavy.
I want to convey my frankness.
It took me a while to get to know my heart.
She is a bright and warm person and...understands me.
We were meeting carefully.
I was worried about how to talk.
I wanted to inform you in a better time, in a good way. I'm sorry I did not.
im so sorry, and Thank you fans for me concern and support.
I feel responsible for what I showed through my recent program.
I apologize to the many people who sent me love.
In the future, I will try to be truthful and earnestly.
As much as you love me, I will show you a good drama and movie... i will effort.
do not sad because me...
I wish fans have a good dream and a happy day.
Thank you, thank you.What is missing from his letter that is present in all the letters previous k-celebrities have written to their fans about their relationship or that one special person they love? Exactly that: love.
In his letter, the word "love" does not appear except when he mentions how his fans love him. There are no mentions of his feelings for her, only a very standard description of the type of person JHB is: "bright and warm and... understands me." (Why the hesitancy before 'understands me,' Joongi?) He did not mention how much she means to him or ask for our blessing. He didn't talk about marriage either.
This English translation of his letter does not mention his use of the word "friend" but the Chinese translation did. I researched the original Korean version of Joongi's letter and found that it was true. He called her a "friend." I don't recall any k-celeb calling their significant other a "friend" in their letters, unless to say that they have found a best friend in their loved one as well, which Joongi clearly did NOT say.
In this whole letter, she takes up a mere two sentence. Again, two standard sentences. He even said, "it took me a while to get to know my heart." When you love someone, are you ever unsure of it? When you truly love someone, could another person ever sway you and your feelings? This, to me, means that his feelings for JHB are not deep, despite the length of time they have known each other and have been dating.
I'm not diminishing their relationship or JHB in any way, I am just stating my thoughts and incorporating my own experience into it as well. I question where the strong statement of love is in his letter. His version of "to me, she is the best present" (Rain and Kim Tae Hee) or "she moved my soul in an instant" (Kang Gary and his non-celebrity wife) or even sticking up for JHB after all the bashing aimed at her, Kwon Sang Woo style (for Son Tae Young).
When IU talked about K after Dispatch revealed their relationship, she said, "I fell in love with him at first sight... hehe. He’s a boyfriend I’m grateful for and have a lot to learn from too. Our relationship is good, sometimes we fight, sometimes we get sad, we’re grateful for each other.. just like any average couple."
So, truthfully, this felt more like a cookie cutter letter to me. More of an apology for the shock of the unexpected than a confession of love as this letter should have done as well. Not to say that Joongi didn't write it with sincerity, but that there was a purpose in how generic it was.
When I add this letter into all of the crumbs and cake we had and take the tarot reading I did, it feels like he has been uncertain of JHB and more certain of IU. But before he could make his choice, Dispatch revealed the relationship and since this is the 4th time a rumor has surfaced for them and it is technically true that they are dating, it was confirmed. But I don't think he was ready for everything to be revealed and I don't think he wanted things to turn out this way.
I don't think less of him for getting caught between two women since love can be complicated, especially for someone who lacks in experience as he had said, and cheating is not something to even consider as a possibility. I just consider this another hurdle that JoonU must face. If they are fated to be, it will happen, no matter how many twists and turns they face. Anything worthwhile never comes easy. This certainly applies for JoonU, don't you think?
I know there will be skepticism and disbelief and questions and doubts about what I said, but that's okay. I choose to believe in this and you can choose not to. In the end, this is why I am unwavering and this is why I will continue onward, no matter if I am alone or with a crew.
If, in the end, Joongi does choose JHB, then I will be happy for him that he has found love and I will wish him happiness. There will be no ill will or ill thoughts from me and I know whoever ends up with Jieun in the future is one lucky man who will cherish and love her as much as she loves him, but...
This ship isn't sunk until a wedding bell sounds.
(P.S. @chi13lou, if we can add to the daily chant for Joongi to make the right choice for him, for Joongi to be given guidance on which road to officially take, and/or for Joongi to be at peace with whatever final decision he makes, that would be fantastical~ Komawo, chingu!)

Hi Song Ji Hyo fans!
@mary-ann has kindly volunteered to take over the duties of the thread starter since the original member has been inactive on Soompi since 2015. For a 24 hour period, you'll have a chance to voice any objections or concerns with this pending change. If there are no objections with a valid reason within this time frame, then the transition will be made.
Thanks~

I'm staying aboard. This ship's compass is a little off course due to stormy weather. We are currently swept up in a swirling whirlpool, but Captain, please keep it steady until calmer waters and lets hope our OTP will sail us forward again.
I agree with everything you said in the spoiler.
And I am fully ready to fight against the current and take our ship home! I have not wavered and will NOT waver even with this confirmed news. I will go down with this ship, but this ship is strong. We might have scraped by a small iceberg or something, but the hole has been patched and onward we sail~
Thank you to those continuing to place your trust and faith in this Stargazer ship and for staying onboard!

Hi y'all~ It's your captain checking in again. I'm so happy to see that my crew members are still here, ready and willing to withstand the storm and sail through the winds with me! That you are choosing to believe in JoonU and Joongi. That you are considering the possibility that everything may not be what it seems or that it is simply not JoonU's time yet.
For sure, I think there's something weird, fishy, or suspicious going on with the off timing of all of this. Maybe one of @Siracusa's theories is right! (Where's that video of Joongi kicking a puppy?! LOL)
But whatever this is, whatever is going on, let's keep positive. This is NOT the end, so let's keep on sailing and be even more observant than before. Because, no matter what, my every gut feeling and instinct is screaming that JoonU's interactions were all very real, very genuine, very sincere.
FIGHTING, STARGAZERS!!

I had joy here and you all were really nice people. Honestly, I don't want to ship actors/idols/etc anymore... only fictional characters and no more... because I feel happier that way. More time for my real life. This is not really related to the LJG news, I decided some time ago and what happened recently finally made me able to move on. This is the end of my Moon Lover's obsession... a drama that will have a special place in my heart, alongside the Moon Lover's cast. But I don't think is healthy for me to be that invested. I think I will watch Moon Lovers from time to time through the years... and if there is a sequel I will watch it for sure. I am thankful for IU and LJG's chemistry in Moon Lovers... I will always remember So and Soo couple, specially the adorable moments those characters had. Well, everybody... Take care.
It was great seeing you again after our JoU and IU thread days. I've always enjoyed my time with you. Do check in from time to time as we're all still family here, even if JoonU are just close friends. We've all formed a bond that's hard to break and we'll definitely miss those that choose to leave. Drop by every once in a while and let us know how you're doing. Wish you the best in RL, @Gabi Bros

Amen.
I'm amused by those responding to this news with "finally the IU/LJG ship is sunk"! Listen, children. If the Kate and Leo ship is still going strong after 20 years and 3 spouses, then Lee flipping Joongi dating another girl for a little over a year is some small potatoes.
I do understand that people are disappointed by Joongi's conduct. I'm not really deterred, though, because to me it's not really about right or wrong. IU also was already taken when this all began. And unlike LJG, she was self-professedly madly in love with Kiha and had been with him longer. Clearly that didn't stop JoonU from getting close! Now we've found out LJG too was attached while he was having all this offscreen chemistry with IU. What this really just proves is that the JoonU chemistry is SORDID YET UNSTOPPABLE. It's fine. I love a good forbidden attraction! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
... So yeah, I'm not going anywhere.
Perversely looking forward to Joongi's fanmeet... Hope he's not suffering too much, the poor scoundrel...
I love you.
That's my confession for today. LOL
If Joongi doesn't end up canceling his Birthday FM from fan backlash, he is definitely going to have to say something to clarify and explain himself and his relationship with JHB. His fans won't stay still if he chooses to ignore this dating news while on stage with them. Either way, I think we'll have more insight soon.
Whatever the case may be, it doesn't diminish JoonU's close friendship or the bond they created with the whole MLSHR family. We'll just have to let fate decide the course for everyone involved: Joongi, Jieun, and Hyebin.

Stargazers, our ship definitely took a hard hit today and we might have lost some of our once dedicated crew, but I will still be here until the ship officially sinks. To those who have already said they will still remain here, thank you~
It took Nicky Wu and Cecilia Liu two years of other make ups and break ups to get to their real life romance, so I think JoonU deserves at least that much.
Confirming a relationship isn't the end of it all. The end is when marriage is officially announced and we are not at that point, so there is still hope.
JoonU has undeniable and very natural, effortless chemistry and I think they know it too. It will just be up to them and up to fate on what they will do about it.
I don't believe it was all fan service and acting. There had to be at least a little bit of something there. But now, only time will tell.
We jumped on board while knowing IU was in a relationship. It's not too much of a stretch to stay onboard now that Joon Gi is the one dating. The situation is just reversed.
Of course, I'm disappointed and blindsided, but it will take more than this to bring me down. Before being a Stargazer, I was already a Uaena since 2009 and a Hajunse since 2013. This won't change.
And I can be patient. I am still firm and immovable. Nursing my wounds, maybe, but definitely stubborn. Especially since I still feel that this entire situation is a bit weird. Off. Suspicious. Whatever you want to call it.
The timing. The old photos. Everything we've seen. It's odd. I agree that, at this point, sometimes it's better to just confirm than to deny again for the fourth time for the sake of reputation and career. It doesn't necessarily mean the relationship is serious enough to the point of going public. I am sure Joon Gi was equally as blindsided at this turn of events.
In any case, I am not budging.
So, who is with me? Who will continue to stay here and wait with me until the storm passes, however long it may take?

Am I the only one who's totally weirded out by the fact that they decide to release this information immediately after the MEC showing and 11 days before the fanmeeting? Yes? No? There's something odd going on here. But right now, I'll take it for what it simply is: a scandal, not a fact.
It is for this reason that I am doubtful about the truth in this. I will remain doubtful until confirmed otherwise by Namoo or Joongi himself.
Truthfully, many aspects of this dating rumor is coming across as really suspicious and fishy. Odd, indeed.

We're all in this together, Stargazers. No matter what happens, we'll still have each other and it won't change the fact that JoonU are very close friends.

Hi Stargazers, let's hold on tight during this particularly violent storm and wait it out, okay?
Yes, the photos are clearly of Joongi and JHB, but it doesn't look recent to me based on his appearance.
I'm not sure what's going to happen. If Namoo will come back with a denial or a confirmation, but it's not over yet. Don't give up just yet and let's just wait.
I refuse to believe everything we've seen and known about JoonU were all make believe, fan service, reading too much into their friendship, or anything of the sort.
We have been one of the most logical and factual ships out there. It couldn't have been for nothing. So let's just wait and see.
Stargazers, fighting!
edit://
Let's not forget that in Joongi's Hawaii photoshoot interview, he said his last relationship was four years ago.
And that he's said before he would want to date publicly, except all he ever did was deny he was dating JHB.
Friends can hang out together without dating, right? It IS a possibility.
Keep calm and keep strong!

Hello to all my lovely Stargazers! I'm totally loving the scarlet I'm seeing scattered in the thread!!
Apologies for my tardiness to the first anniversary celebration of our lovely JoonU ship, but I've been sick for the past couple of weeks. I even missed so many days of work, my manager thought I had quit! LOL.
But backreading, it really warms my heart to see the consistent love and support for JoonU and for our ship. From the familiar faces (usernames) I've seen from day one to the newer Stargazers, each one of you are an important member of our crew and this ship wouldn't be able to sail if it weren't for your participation in showing your constant, unwavering support.
I'm still strong in my belief that JoonU are perfect for one another and one day, perhaps soon, our ship will sail all the way home. Thank you for sharing your favorite memories of JoonU, what made you become a Stargazer, and for sticking by our ship through thick and thin. It's been a great honor to be your captain and thank you, also, for deeming me qualified to be one since I feel that being a captain is more than just about being the thread starter.
Onward we sail, Stargazers! And may the fireflies light up the dark night to reveal the path towards home!
