Popular Post meahri_1 Posted January 24, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2017 28 minutes ago, Silvermaine said: Honestly, this really pops up several questions in my mind: 1. Was he really speaking cryptically or are some things lost in translation? Can some fluent Korean speakers out there tell me their opinion? What do you think about his manner of speech as he was saying those things? 2. Has he ever been like this when it comes to female co-stars? AFAIK, he hasn't treated female co-stars like this. He'd post some pics, sure, but I don't recall him ever having this much skinship. And then, so many things are falling into place. Let's look at things and timelines: a.) Lee Hwi Jae's comment, although it was just generally tactless. b.) Hong Jong Hyun's comment about the two of them getting drunk. c.) Joon Gi explicitly stating his physical attraction to Ji Eun in the midst of his drunken stupor (lol) d.) Quiet for like a week after the SBS Awards e.) Both of them attending each other's concert/FM in Taiwan and being all giddy. f.) supposedly a week after IU's Taiwan concert, JKH and her have officially broken up. g.) During that week, we were only talking about the Korean article @starcandy0516 found. h.) A week after, the break up announcement was made... Well, not in a formal announcement format but just sort of like... A simple revelation by JKH's agency. Idk about you but this doesn't seem like something that was just brought out a week ago. i.) from the news, it says that IU and JKH have been trying and failing to resurrect their relationship; often being on and off. I can only assume that during her concerts starting December, they had minimal contact. Well ya know we're all just delulu here hahahaha but these are what I observed. @Silvermaine All true. If you add in all the other stuff we've compiled as well, there's nothing delulu about the big picture. But hey, if people outside of our thread believe that our theories are the cause of the dating rumors that surfaced, let them believe what they want. As long as Joongi and IU/Jieunie are doing fine, that's all that really matters. I love you guys. I was so very glad to see that within the confines of our thread, the vibe here is still harmonious, optimistic and upbeat. @starcandy0516 I was surprised that the NetizenBuzz comments weren't really as bad as expected. I've seen so much worse on all the articles related to our IU. Am hoping this feedback is pretty consistent in all the SK platforms you've been checking. Have been waiting patiently for IU to visit her fan cafe and talk to all of us about what's been going on, much like she did after her dating news first broke out in 2015. It seems like she needs a little more time right now though. Hope she's doing okay. I know she has a tendency to blame herself. Hoping our Joongi is telling her he'll be just fine. 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL!! I know, I am weird, maybe my shipper soul play with me. Hahahaha!! I mean, it's really something, you know! Even, Namoo has to clarified this news, so it means uri JG really regarded as JE's suitor right?? Even they barely know each other for 1 year? LOL, I know there are a lot of JoonU shipper there, and a lot of people blame us for these rumors. But let's take a look at the positive things, JoonU really have a great number of shippers = their chemistry is on top notch = more blessing for their real relationship. So maybe it's really a good things and bad things at the same time. But as long as they could handle the negative one, I think it would be awesome. But of course, I really don't agree with insensitive shipper. They just don't know how to ship respectfully. For now, this is the new beginning for our journey. Although it will be hard, but brighter future ahead to look forward, for sure!! Keep chanting, stargazers!! Actually I'm not sure that NAMOO done well or not, hastened to deny the rumors. If there is nothing between the two, rumors would be gone. I'm not the one to judge that, but reading the comments on YT, JG IG / JE IG and of other sites, I've noticed that a lot of new fans, especially ML fans, ship them as a couple, in other words as an “all package”. After NAMOO announcement these fans, being disappointed, can be lost for good, but for antis this announcement it's like fuel on fire. I affirm this on the basis of new comments I've read today. I make these observations because IF...IF there will be something more between JG and JE it will be much harder in the future for them to admit it in public, because they shippers who will support them will be much less and the antis will always be there even over an year or two or three. I hope my comment will not bring any harm for JG or JE. It's just my opinion and I admit it's may be wrong. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To 헤럴드POP Namoo Actors said "At first we are only laughed when looking at those comments on SNS. These two person are only close colleague, we think netizens think too much. Lee Joon Gi are still so friendly and intimate to senior and junior cast from MLSHR. IU is indeed one of them. About they visited each other concert in Taiwan, it's a fanservice for fans who love MLSHR and they have planning it together and want to thank people who love MLSHR. It's because in drama, their relationship is good, we think this as happening" To. Sports Donga Namoo Actors said "We think it's because of their great chemistry on drama. Dating with IU is a actually groundless. These two people through drama are very close, so there are misunderstanding. All the cast from MLSHR are close. We hope there is no misunderstanding.These two people are close senior junior relationship. There's no special relationship" To. Newsen Namoo Actors said "Recently on SNS and online community, there are a lot of people who said they wish LJG and IU are dating. Well, it's happening things. Lee Joon Gi and IU are good colleague relationship. Not only IU, but LJG are also close friend with other MLSHR cast. About LJG who came to IU's concert in Taiwan, it's the way he said thank you to fans who love Wang So and Haesoo. IU who came to LJG concert is also the same. To. My Daily Namoo Actors said "We think this as happening because of two actor good chemistry in drama. Senior Junior relationship between MLSHR cast are good and they are still close and contacting with each other." To. 스타in Namoo Actors said "Lee Joon Gi and IU are only colleague realtionship, the dating rumor is not true. Although it's not need for us to mention the dating rumor, but because it keeps going on, we give confirmation that it's not true" I think the official confirmation given by Namoo Actor is to protect the actor from the breakup news. Before the news growing bigger that the actor is the cause of the breakup, the agency needs to make this statement. They do not want the big name of their actor is damaged. It is fine that the agency made the statement, but the agency can't set the heart of their actor. I wonder, if she never had a previous relationship with someone - with anyone - , whether the agency would quickly give official statement. I do not think so The story would be different if she was single. Each agency will give support to the actor and the actress, considering she is a famous singer and he is a famous actor, and the couple is a good combination, like the famous actors couple newly married. And then why the two agencies want to bother to match each other concerts schedule of their actors in the same country, and involving the couple on each concert. So the reason of the agency that inviting each other to the concert was to please the fans is just an unreasonable excuse. The Agency should realize when two people - woman and man - often meet in a very romantic atmosphere will grow interest in one another. And it's natural. So let's wait what will happen next. For the agency: If it is true that their relationship just a friendship, they - especially the actor - actually have successfully played their roles well as desired the agency. And conversely, do not blame the fans if they expect them together, because fans have seen there is love in the eyes of the actor when he looked at the actress. Whether it be the fault of the fans if they sail them. Is that a misunderstanding of fans if they ship them? Please stop to making the promotion of the two of them in ways that make the fans are increasingly thinking deeply about their relationship because you are only looking for profit behind their togetherness. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post perfectlyimperfecttrooper Posted January 24, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2017 Much appreciation for all the encouraging words from all of you guys. I can't deny that I was happy when the breakup news came out but felt a certain guilt for our JE as to what she's feeling these days. I sent her my message of support through her IG as her well-being is still of much importance than my happiness for the breakup. Some relationships work, some don't. That's a reality. Being public figures put more strain as too much attention is given to them. I was worried about the people who started being pushy on their IG accounts for them to date. Then Namoo made an official statement. I even read a comment on LJG's IG that breakup announcements are for promotions (insinuating that this might all be a promotion). I so wanted to comment back and answer that person but I wanted to be the better shipper. And some of those who were pushy suspiciously have poser accounts, maybe haters, maybe hardcore shippers, I don't know but it weighed me down as I worried for our OTP. There was even one who commented for LJG to stay away from IU. If only all fans and shippers are as mature as the shippers here who keep analyses, chants, and delulu statements within the boundaries of this thread, then rumors wouldn't have started. Friends or more than that, I consider our OTP a good influence to each other. I'd like them to be in each other's lives. Although my heart will hope for being more but it's not for me to decide. I remember how close Lee Hyun Woo and IU were but because of the dating rumor back in 2013 as pictures of them were taken in an alleged movie date, they had to take a step back. They did reunite for a photoshoot in 2015 but they said in the same interview, they haven't seen each other since those pictures came out.I also recall Lee Hyun Woo stating that he was bashed by JE's male fans. With fear that our OTP's relationship will be like that, I felt gloomy. I have more pages to catch up with but I want to say thanks to all of you. Let's stay supportive and be happy in this bubble. Sorry for the long post. Love you all though I may not be able to post often due to real life but I am with this ship proud and strong (because of the way you uplift fellow shippers here). Thank you! 39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post enigmaticangel Posted January 24, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2017 I am not even affected by the statement of Namoo actors becaz it was a much needed one to protect JoonU's image..but i am scared about the after effects of it..like we might not even know whether there were any gathering of MLSHR esp of JoonU, insta flirting, crumbs..oh god! I have never shipped two people as much as i ship JoonU... Hence i leave everything to destiny from now, let destiny play its game and i believe in Ji mong's words "There is no such thing as coincidence".. Let us look at the positive side of Namoo's statement.. 1. Namoo and Leon can finally understand that JoonU are loved by many people becaz of their explosive chemistry. So if(When) they start daying in the near future, people will accept them. 2. So JoonU might avoid contact for a while, actually its a good thing-To take time and analyze eachothers true feelings. 3. Why do i feel that this act will only make their bond more stronger?. Because we already know that JG and JE are strong individuals, they don't let anti's take over their life.They don't look like people who might stop contacting eachother becaz of a petty rumour. They already did soooo much for us.So lets don't disturb them from now on. Because "If something is meant to be, IT WILL " no one can stop that.. To all those people who are posting as "Please date JE/JG", please understand one thing, these kind of posts will only deteriorate their image in public eye.. So please wait for sometime, we already got SO MUCH than we have asked for..let destiny do its job now.. 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The knetz comments look so bad, they are saying things like " is he crazy to date her?" " he can do so much better". i'm not surprised they're retrieved from nate , NATE = HATE this will not stop my shipping, i believe they're might be more than friends. usually, kactors/actresses after completing an acting gig, they totally become strangers and act as if they don't know each other even though they've kissed each other, had intimate scenes, lived pratically together with each other for 4/5 months. they cut all contacts and it's rare for a male an a female to become friends after. so that's why i don't ship because i know it's just business, no feelings involved. But since we have proof of the friendship between JoonU, i can ship them with a peaced heart 'cause i know there is a chance of being more than friends. What is even more surprising is the PDA of both: IU kissed him on his cheek at her FM, LJK is all smiley when he's looking at her, he had his arms wrapped around her at the SbS drama awards. koreans don't like PDA and are not expressive about their feelings ie when a k couple get married or are married, they stay low. the husband doesn't even say i love you to his wife publicly. so i firmly believe there might be something between them for the reasons cited above. time will answer, we need to let time pass. if they remain friends, i'll get disappointed but i'll stop shipping them for preventing them getting uncomfortable. i'm not delulu as some NB comments claim. they point fingers at us for overjoicing over the breaking up news while JE is getting a rough time. ... actually she did not kiss him on the cheek. If you see the video itself, she only hugged him. The angle of the still picture taken sure made it look that way though! lol 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namoo's statement is one thing but if JG himself has spoken up about being just friends then this shipper heart might have just ached a little I am not expecting them to date right now but there's something final about that statement if that really came from him. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does publicly disavowing dating and later admitting to dating cause all sorts of netizen backlash that celebrities would typically seek to avoid? Or is a period between denial and admission considered publicly acceptable? To answer your question although not directly related to JoonU - see spoiler Spoiler the only celebrities on my mind recently are Lee hong gi (FT island vocalist) and Han bo reum. They also said they are close friends back in August 2016 when their dating rumours surfaced and eventually after 3 months confirmed their relationship and both are also co-stars and meet each other in a TV series. As far as I know, they haven't suffered any backlash at all. If we are talking about our OTP, who are both famous on their own right and with Jieun having haters, realistically, there will be some backlash. It will be undeniable irregardless of any period. However, depending on the timing when did the news was published, if there is a bigger news after, then it will be overshadowed by it. Or like any other news, it will eventually die down on its own. That why they say, scandals is all about timing. But for me personally, I wouldn't dwell on it, why? Because if ever destiny do bring our OTP together and they, (if ever) will be outed, I think their fandom are big enough to depend them and the agencies can sue any unsavory comments. Also Jieun is a ninja, it took 2 yrs after her previous relationship became public and JG is I think a very private person who I believe would want his relationship private so I doubt if we will going to see anything at all..lol. Unless they get married..haha. But I am ok with it as long as destiny bring them together or that they are happy. Besides, if both released good projects that will be loved by everyone before any dating news, I think those achievements will overshadow any negative comments that will happen after. Afterall - haters have selective amnesia sometimes. Spoiler I kind of remembered that the most beloved power couple who just got married recently - Rain and Kim Tae Hee suffered so many hate comments when their relationship was outed. Because it was the time when Rain was in army service and their relationship has been tainted by his army scandals. Also Knetz leave bad comments that Rain is not good enough for Tae Hee and right now, I am seeing similarities between them and our OTP. Rain like Jieun is a singer songwriter with many scandals under their name while KTH and JG are both actors with exemplary image and mind you, both catholics. But look at them right now, after 3 yrs, they managed to turn those negative images by being loving and faithful with each other and now, knetz lauded them as the newest beloved couple in SK. So yeah, news died down and haters do have amnesia..lol. 39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
