Women's Tattoo - The Secret Behind Jaechun's Tattoo
DBSK,2008 SBS Gayo Daejun
| Yuchun & Jejung's "Tattoo Message" secret - Exclusive interview with tattoo artiste. Tohoshinki are currently in a dispute with SM Entertainment, and Jejung and Yuchun who are involved in this dispute have gotten tattoos on their chests. Their tattoo artiste told this reporter that Jejung had been considering what the future holds for all 5 of them (when he did the tattoo). "Jejung and Yuchun came to the shop during the beginning of August, I think it's a few days after their Japanese tour ended. Its the first time I met Yuchun and he was smiling throughout. Even though we're both men, it was really cute." -- Mr JP, the tattoo artiste that Jejung and Yuchun call "older brother". Jejung, Yuchun and Junsu filed a lawsuit against SM entertainment at the end of July and following that, the cosmetic company that the 3 invested in also filed a law suit against SM for libel. On 4th September, SM cancelled the SM Town concert and caused not just material harm to the fans, but emotional harm as well, and they expressed extreme dissatisfaction with SM and requested for suitable compensation. Currently, all the members have returned to Korea and the results of the lawsuit will be released on the 11th of September. In the meantime, Mr JP, who operates a tattoo shop in Seoul city, will unveil their "secret". The tattoos on Jejung and Yuchun's chests are the most direct representation of their reaction towards the dispute with their management company. "Always keep the faith" -- the two of them tattooed the words on their left chests, to express their desire to stay together, forever, until the end. Mr JP said, "On that day, Jejung was quieter than usual. While they were doing the tattoo, they did not really talk much. Compared to the previous times, I could only see anxious expressions. Normally, Jejung can be a little child-like, but since he brought Yuchun along this time, he behaved in a more manly fashion (laugh). On the other hand, Yuchun was laughing and chatting with the staff, and it felt like he was very at ease." -- Tattoo artiste creates a memory that will last a lifetime. Jejung and Mr JP first met 2 years ago during autumn. "Through a friend's introduction, Jejung came to the tattoo shop in the middle of the night, after we have closed for business. Both of us know this, before we met, I thought he was just another idol. But when we met for the first time, he was very courteous, he is a very well-mannered youth." Jejung discussed with Mr JP about his thoughts on the tattoo and after 2 hours of discussion about the design, Jejung got "TVXQ SOUL" tattooed on his back, with angel wings. He wanted to add on to the tattoo, and through Mr JP's hands, got an additional tattoo on the left that said, "The pleasures of the mighty are the tears of the poor" and another on the right that said, "A song will outlive sermons in the memory". Usually, after deciding on the design of a tattoo, it will be done a week later. However, Jejung did his on the day itself. Once it was completed, he let out a satisfied expression and said that he will only reveal the tattoo when he feels that it will be alright to do so. Thus, during the 2008 SBS Gayo Daejun, Jejung showed his back on television, and allowed viewers to see the effect of the tattoo more clearly. Mr JP, who still keeps in contact with Jejung, said, "Jejung often visits in the middle of the night, after the shop closes, and he even came to the shop once to invite me to go for drinks. However, we never did go drinking, and recently he kept saying we definitely have to go drinking soon." Mr JP has known Jejung for 2 years, and the "Hope to the end" on Jejung's back was also his work. With his tattoos gradually increasing, fans have been asking if Jejung tattoos himself whenever something terrible happens. "After asking Jejung, he said that he already liked tattoos from the start and the feeling when you tattoo can differ from the feelings you get in other situations." Also, there have been constant rumours circulating that TVXQ will disband, which have been refuted by the Korean media. In all this commotion, the members are increasingly becoming closer. For example, on stage, Yuchun shouted "Tohoshinki fight!, and Jejung had his arms on Yuchun's shoulders, and held Yuchun's hand. Yunho, whose drama started on the 9th of this month, is in the midst of filming and he often receives text messages of encouragement from the members. As per normal, Changmin and Jejung have fun as usual in their music studio, and Junsu has been wearing the pendant that states the same thing as Jejung and Yuchun's tattoos. In August, when both of them came to do the tattoo, Mr JP directly asked Jejung about the lawsuit, and "Jejung said that he doesn't know how it will turn out and they will resolve it well. He didn't say much, but even before this happened, Jejung already thought of having a tattoo that will represent all five of them". Mr JP said, "All the members of Tohoshinki have the same thoughts, and because I am closer to Jejung, I know that his wish is that Tohoshinki will be together forever. Even if it's just like this (T/N: a tattoo), to imprint the deep feelings that come from the hearts of all the members, in the form of a tattoo; perhaps this is the best "weapon" to show their support and belief in the group."
