    Please do not copy the following content in any manner whatsoever and do not repost on any social media site in any form. It is exclusively intended for JiJi shipper’s soompi thread.

     

    PART 9

     

    Once in a while, I like a good fight. Now is ‘once in a while’.

     

    RMS JiJi has been dealing with pirates since the moment the cast was announced. Shippers’ social media accounts are being hacked, vitriol’s spilling over in the comment sections, OTP is suffering character assassination, the professional integrity of the cast, crew and staff is being unjustly questioned and shippers are being accused of fabricating evidences or falsifying occurrences- all of this by the poor saps who think they can get enough fuel to dock their own ship by trying to take ours apart piece by piece.

     

    Antis channel most of their energies in ‘Debunking’- quite naturally so, since that’s like torpedoing the keel and rendering the enemy null and void. Unfortunately for them, they chose to mess with the wrong people this time. For example- Moi. Surely they are lurking here, so following the rules of combat, here I am in my own lane, with some fine words for their reading pleasure.

     

     

    ‘Showing’ beats ‘Telling’ anyday: I have always been wary of people who reiterate their personal qualities, especially their intellectual prowess. Because if you are actually as smart/analytical/oh-so-whatever as you claim, people can generally figure that out themselves without the extra help, thank you very much.

     

    I came across a bunch of such self-professed rationalists. 100 pages into their shipping and a mere couple of weeks after the relevant drama’s final broadcast, Wook blasted everything into oblivion. Reporters asked him explicitly if he was dating the co-star. He said he was not. The romantic synergy was a process of bringing the characters to life and he took people’s misconception regarding the dating rumors as a compliment to his acting prowess.

     

    You can be fooled once, sure. But it’s your choice if you want to stay the fool. If Wook had so much as hinted that nothing was going on between him and Ji Hyun, despite whatever had transpired off-screen for the world to witness, the only question left for me would’ve been how fast I could hightail the hell out of this ship. That’s the prime reason I combed through post-SP interviews and press meets… to determine if I was boarding a vessel whose captains were showing even the slightest bit of disinclination. There is such a thing as dignity unto oneself and unto others. When someone says ‘No’, I need to have enough respect for myself and for others not to fantasize and twist that ‘No’ into a ‘Yes’.

     

    Coming back, despite his clear denial about any personal relationship, their thread went ahead about as far as it could go under its own steam. Finally out of fuel and fire, they now spend their days accusing other ships of what they themselves did: ‘Making up stories’.

     

     

    Ships need Analysts, not Crystal-ball Charlatans: Analysts are integral to responsible shipping because a lot of the spazz material comes from reading the body language, behavioral patterns, verbal and subconscious expressions, as well as giving all the gleaned perceptions the most accurate interpretation possible. Analysts are human beings, after all, and they won’t always be right about everything, but I can tell you this: They are never wrong about the big ones.

     

    You should know that your ship is in so-much-frickin’ trouble if your pioneering, self-proclaimed ‘analyst’ claims that the SongSong couple is putting on a show for the crowds and nothing is going to come out of it, no matter how much fans and well-wishers keep begging. Especially if the ‘analyst’ has already seen footages of their red-carpet appearances, fan-meets, interviews and award speeches. An important point to note here is: There is a world of difference between saying 1) You don’t care either way about SS and 2) Stating assertively that what they have between them is NOT real, according to what you have seen.

     

    No analyst worth their salt would miss such defining cues as those presented by SS. Even those not personally vested in the couple would give their unbiased opinion if asked, because rational minds can process and relay information without getting feelings tangled in the process. And if you couldn’t read between the lines of that couple’s behavior, to the point where you found any spark non-existing, umm, exactly what makes you an expert on any other pair??

     

     

    Things can always get worse: You should know that your ship is in so-much-more-frickin’ trouble when the aforementioned ‘analyst’ said on July 6th- that’s right ladies and gentlemen, rather conveniently a day after SS wedding announcement- that it is just as well that all the rumors proved to be true, because apparently an ‘insider Korean source’ told a ‘friend’ who in turn told her that SS were dating and their friends were covering it up from the public eye. More importantly, the source also stated that the same thing was true for their OTP as well. So now that the SS are getting married (which she is still so not interested in) as per what the insider source said, it must mean that their own OTP would also get married down the line and aawwww… isn’t that the sweetest thing ever??!!!!!!!

     

    ‘You’ve got to be kidding me’ doesn’t even begin to cover it.

     

     

    To be Dumb or Dumber, that’s the question: Next honorable mentions are the ones who claimed that ever since his debut, whatever Wook did for a project was only acting and nothing but acting. He did everything in his power to make the project a success and whatever was seen on his part was simply his way to get things done.

     

    But apparently down the lane around 2014, he came across one drama and one co-star that compelled him to act out his real feelings with real emotions, real love, real chemistry, real passion, real sincerity and real dedication. Even the casts, crew, staff, location and scripts were real. The dialogues, the set, the scenes, props, food, clothes, weather, sky, stray animals, plants, roads… everything was real. Wook fell in love with that co-star for real and his kisses, caresses, touches, gazes, smiles, frowns, scowls, smirks, sneers and all other facial and physical expressions were yup-you-got-it… Real.

     

    Then of course, the drama ended and Wook took up other projects, but he was back to being un-real in all of them. He was real only once and that was back in 2014 and he will never be real ever again, so new shippers out there getting their hopes up should not do so, because what he is doing these days is all a pretense.

     

    I have only one thing to ask these honorable mentions: Exactly how in the blazes do you guys know exactly when he is pretending and when he is not? Did he tell you while you were painting each other’s toe nails and eating s’mores during the Friday movie marathon? Or when you were in the public sauna and he decided to divulge his deepest secrets over a dozen boiled eggs? And for heaven’s sake, don’t even try pulling the we-know-him-better card because you’d insult yourself and wouldn’t even realize it. I wouldn’t put it past you because so far you did manage to insult his professional integrity, his dedication to character portrayal, his genuine affection for his co-workers and for his job. You reduced everything he has worked for in the past decade into an insignificant blip wherein he is a mute puppet who will do anything for a living, who will stoop to any level to just get the job done, who has no moral compass and steam-rolls over everyone and everything to get what he wants.

     

     

    Saying a thing a thousand times doesn’t necessarily make it true: Those things might happen in Cinderella Land, but this here is Earth and we deal with Reality. Saying that your ship is sailing and that others’ are NOT with nearly no concrete evidence to back it up…. Nope gal, that ain’t gonna help your case.

     

    The only thing worse would be saying your ship is sailing DESPITE having concrete evidences of other ships sailing staring you straight in the face. That is called cognitive dissonance. And it has no fairytale ending, just so you know.

     

     

    The Case of the Sour Grapes: JiJi thread is skirting 1300 pages within 6 months because of factual material and a realistic premise set up for analysis and spazzing. People are not blowing smoke to promote self-delusions about things that really matter to the OTP. It is not possible to get this far without fuel, certain shipper threads are living testaments to the fact.

     

    And as for saying that we are playing around with mist and fog, with nothing substantial to back up our apparently deranged claims, I would’ve lurved to see what the other side would’ve done if they had the exact same material we did. The stakes could be several million euros and I’d still win because they would be preening over it all and would conveniently forget that they hated others for it.

    ***

    I’d actually consider them worthy adversaries if they at least had the sense to take their own advice. They claim that if there’s chemistry during a drama with nothing happening later on to back it up, then it’s all delusional. Exactly, is what I wanna tell them. But you’d think they’d know what they are spouting already, won’t they? Ah well, it really does take all sorts to make the world.

    Nice and brilliant post...and funny too..can't stop laughing with 'REAL' definition from them...lol

    No worries, the voting app is not open yet (http://ips16.hanamobile.com/Main/rank?type=2&tab=tab_03). I would assume that it would be pretty fool-proof/easy to figure out once it's available. However, in case it's a little complicated, I'll make a step-by-step tutorial (if no one else makes one first). One of my research assistants is Korean, I'll have her translate it for me :D

    That's nice ...thanks in advance..will wait patiently for the tutorial..

    YAY!

    So happy to see the good news about J.Estina pulling out and admitting defeat. 

    http://entertain.naver.com/ranking/read?oid=311&aid=0000602054

    This is an article on Naver discussing it. It's a shorter blurb than others but it's the article that is rising on the ranks and has the most comments on this topic. So that's good. I hope all the negative ones get buried. In any case, since I know so many people are curious about the knetizens reactions... For this article, it's all very supportive of SHK, and for the most part, really angry at J.Estina. In particular, they're angry at J.Estina for just dragging SHK's name through the mud again just to pull out because they know they're in the wrong. Basically, why did they even make a big fuss? They should have apologized and reflected when they were warned. They just make a mess and just leave. Who are they that they can claim an influence on Hallyu? They must be scared their market in China will be affected since it was because of SHK they were able to gain profits there. They must be scared to reveal more about the contract since it must not be in their favor. It's not like they're a rookie company.. why are their manners so bad. It goes on like that. 

    It's a bit frustrating that public sentiment was so generally negative/mixed towards SHK when it was just SHK/UAA vs. J.Estina. But I'm still really grateful towards NEW in this case for releasing statements which basically backed up SHK. I mentioned to @hclover96 that I hoped NEW would get involved but doubted they would because it's not an easy thing to do and the whole issue at that time was getting so messy, especially with J.Estina dragging in SHK's past unnecessarily. NEW could have just as easily decided not to get involved. But I'm glad they saw that SHK was in the right and also decided to take a stand against J.Estina. I think it was really important that they did this because not only did it place a bigger pressure on J.Estina, but it also seemed to help sway the general public opinion from just associating SHK with her past scandal, per J.Estina's dirty tactic.  NEW's statements reinforced and legitimized the claims made by SHK's side.  Also, it seems like once it was revealed that NEW was discussing legal action against J.Estina as well, J.Estina just finally caved. 

    It's always a bit scary to me how fast public sentiment can turn. I'm happy that this issue will be finally over with and that it seems everything will work out positively for SHK. But it's also a bit unnerving to think that this ugly sentiment could have just as easily been targeted towards SHK again. I'm sure she knew that going in. Her mentality is so strong. 

    Anyways, cheers to positive news! :D 

     

    I should give you 1000++ likes...glad NEW come to rescue ..
