Bae Yong-joon is the new face for GPS navigation system & PMP (personal media player) manufacturer, Viliv. The TV ad, starring the ajumafied actor will be filmed somewhere overseas.
Now that’s unlimited excitement.
Pop in:
Bae Yong-joon still frequents the doctor
Bae Yong-joon has new inflatable friends
Bae Yongjoon is turning into an ajuma
Pop quiz: Who’s the owner of those locks?






Just want to say YJ doesnt need fans that are
judgemental. He treats us as his family and we treat
him as his too. We do have different opinions sometimes
but we share a great love and respect for the artist.
We don’t judge him nor put him in the pedestal.
I thought the antis said that he is not talented?
Why waste your time commenting in this nonsense
post? He’s way too interested to ignore..hmmm..
If you don’t like him, that’s perfectly fine and natural.
But judging to be a liar is very unfair and uncalled for.
Unless proven guilty, he is still innocent. You are
not god to judge him.
“Just want to say YJ doesnt need fans that are
judgemental.”
Of course he doesn’t. And he counts on his fans to never, ever be “judgmental” of him. Because he’s perfect and can never, ever, ever be in the wrong. Ever. Did I mention…ever? You get the point.
One of the reasons–I now understand–that BYJ has the most ardent fan base among all the stars in Korea is that he has them convinced they are his “family” (whatever THAT means) and has even “joked” that his fans are like “a mafia”. It’s a clever way to build a loyal cult following: convince the masses that you feel as close to them as if they were your own flesh and blood, and then assure them that NOTHING they ever see or hear is real/true/factual unless it comes straight from HIS mouth only.
This is why BYJ has the most undying, loyal fans in the business. And this is why they never, ever judge him. Not even when evidence of his lying and bullying is right in front of their faces.
@ legend sucks
Thanks. You pretty much nailed it.
You don’t tell us to believe otherwise cos we have proven
that he is deserving for years. You don’t say you like him
for just months and say you don’t believe him because
of just one incident that you believe he was wrong.
He’s done more good things and should not take away
the credit from him for being a good person bec you
believe you are right and he was wrong.
This is going anywhere so Dumpling, you can stop liking
Yong Joon. No one is forcing you to like him or believe
him. I just can’t take a person like you who can judge
a person by just one article.
Sorry, it was “not going anywhere”.
Dumpling dear, you just believe what you want to
believe. We are adults enough to know what is right
and wrong for us.
We’ve been his family for years, and we treat him as
our blood. If he is dating LJA or any other lady, it’s
fine with us. We want him to be happy and for him to have
his own family. If he said that the girl in the picture
is not LJA, we believe him because he never lied to us.
He may keep some secrets for himself but that doesn’t
mean that he is lying.
I dont have time to read that many comments…sighs.
dumpling, sorry to say that some of us do know more that what you think. Believe it or not its upto you. Why the hel* would I lie here?
Maybe I will if this is a BYJ blog. lol
And sighss… I think I know who you are. (means ‘maybe I know who you are on the other sites. I hope im wrong…
hmmm gotcha… dumpling is a FEMALE and big fan of JDG..
what dumpling mean is : BYJ is a very smart person.. like DAMDOEK ( The Legend). Good point.
WOW.. IT’S ALREADY 159 COMMENTS IN 6 DAYS…
BAE YONG JOON IS SO POPULAIR !!!!
@uke,
Is there a reason why you or/and BYJ fans have to keep mentioning JDG name in your post?? If you even take a little time to look back at other posts, Dumpling was really a big fan of your so called flawless idol. And Dumpling like other stars too. Just leave other stars name out of your comments esp in a topic that has no relation to him/her. Have some class pls.
is Saddam Hussein popular? the whole world knows him. popular or not, BYJ is a fake. like it or not, this site is a advocate for free speech.
@ Maybell
i’ve seen The Legend and i find BYJ very bland in that drama. in winter sonata he’s too wimpy. his merchandises are a joke. his career path is profit and money centered.
Kiki
I think whatever YJ do, drama or movie, it will still
not please you. So if you don’t find him talented
DO NOT WATCH his drama. You are jealous because he is
making money? Then think of something that will
MAKE YOU RICH THEN. In my country your action literally
means “LOOKING ON SOMEBODY’S WALLET”.
@ grace
You can stop with the conspiracy theories right now. You don’t know me from somewhere else because I don’t belong to any BYJ sites. I may look at them but I don’t write in them. Why would I? A bunch of bored fans writing about Winter Sonata and The Legend repeatedly. How could I possibly contribute to that? Do you try to keep tabs on every person who ever makes a comment about BYJ on the internet? Lame. Get over yourself!

‘-’-'-’-
so what ? I meantioned about him.. just to make some funny thing to @dumpling… lol.. not bad things…
no offense for his fan..
what’s wrong in here popseoul? suddenly byj’s pic is missing…
oooopppsss…. it’s coming back…
Hi Yong Jun,
I still prefer the look in “Winter Sonata” of you, it feel nice, handsome….gorgeous & perfect man with short hair like you.
Long hair not suitable to you, it make you more like woman. (Hope you don’t mind wat i mean)
I recently watch the show you act, like “Love Greeting” which you were just about 22 yrs old(if i’m not counted wrongly), “Hotelier”(korean ver), “Winter Sonata” and i know there are till a lot of it, i need time to seach for it cos some of it already too many years ago which was stop production and sales of it.
Can anyone help and tell me where i can rent or buy it.
BYJ, aja
It’s so amusing to read all these comments.
Kiki’s comments caught my attention.
Why waste time watching a drama of an actor that you
do not like? Why are you punishing yourself too much?
So funny.. and why do you know so much about his
money making business? You are quite updated.
I don’t see any reason for a normal individual to
get updates and watch dramas of a person that you
don’t like or you believe is a bad actor.
I can’t seen the logic there. Can you please enlighten
me on this. I’m quite confused.
lol Why are you quacking there?
I just somewhat notice who are you on the other sites.
Im have no time to hack you or whatever your thinking.
I just accidently knew it.
@hmm
Maybe they see BYJ oppa on their dreams
@grace
April 7, 2008 at 11:25 pm
am I quacking ? may I know where ?
Grace, you’re full of it. How is it that out of all the dozens of times I posted POSITIVE comments about BYJ here at PopSeoul no one ever once said “I know you from another site”? Never. But suddenly when I’m criticizing him for the first time you’re playing crack detective, saying you know me from other BYJ sites. You’re a liar. I do not post to other BYJ sites. As I told you I have nothing in common with BYJ fans. You’ll have to go play Sherlock with someone else.
it’s looks like some body needs dr.watson here… is he available?
ehm maybe a translator too.. for me.. ha..ha..
Hmmm. notice that too.
BYJ fans are known to be very nice in the internet
and in real life. I was reassured. Quite a relief.
I can rest now. ha..ha..ha..
> Dude looks like a lady!
suzie, ditto from me.
even yoon eun-hye in coffee prince looks more manly than this dude.
byj is actually very handsome but needs to quit transform himself into a woman.
he does look very very young in that pic though.
Yah, I agree with @Hmm.
@Maybell can I borrow this?
———————————————————–
Excerpt from an essay by Kang Hi Bong from the magazine “I Love Korean Dramas!” No.10
As long as we consider ourselves unhappy, our power to receive the charm emitted from BYJ is weak. Because, to preserve the happy image given by BYJ in one’s hearts, we need to have the foundation to see ourselves in a positive way.
Perhaps people who consider themselves unhappy are seeking for something more tangible than an enigmatic image.
——————————————————–
Very true indeed. Unhappy persons can not and will never
appreciate BYJ’s happy image.
“BYJ’s happy image”? what’s that?
happy = gay?
btw, byj’s fans. you’re so cute when you’re mad.
just don’t over fume your blood pressure. it ain’t healthy for any age.
ha..ha..
there’s the gay word again.
You should read the post carefully.
You are referring to the fans
or you are referring to YJ?
The post is referring to YJ’s pure
and happy image. Means “positive” image.
Positive image for you is gay?
Non-sense post.
@grace
hi, i am a gay man. BYJ appears in my dream every night. i love his soft look. i don’t like real men, they scare me. oh, i want to buy his joon bear. i want i want i want. hahaha
I’ve seen dumpling all over YJ related blogs
and sites. She’s mad as hell..
ha..ha..
Deka you better send Dr. Watson quickly..
Go get somebody from the mental hospital
before she hurts anyone..ha..ha..
So funny..so funny..these people in popseoul.
@Nothing Really.
Hi! You made a good point there.
Unhappy people. You can sense if a person is
unhappy in the way she/he writes.
What a pity.
@ Nothing Really April 8, 2008 at 10:08 am
ugh…. can’t find him… still looking for… he..he..
@ Dumpling April 6, 2008 at 11:45 am
about your comment… I just find out the same comment in bb’s blog.. hmmm….
@ Deka
Once again, I don’t understand you. I don’t mean your english. I mean I don’t understand anything you are talking about when you post a comment. I don’t know what comments you’re talking about and I don’t know what you mean by bbs blog. Please, get something in your life that doesn’t involve BYJ!
Dumpling,
Deka said she found your postings on one of the
famous Bea blogs. You’re using the same comments
you’ve posted here. I’m not sure if its you but
you have to do something about it if you’re not the one.
If you are, please stop this act and get a life.
It isn’t healthy at all.
@ Maybell
April 9, 2008 at 10:05 am
Thanks Maybell… it’s seems I needs translator to commucation with dumpling he..he….
@ dumpling
about that comments… you can find it on

This new event involving the paparazzi photos of him with LJA is what has me ticked off at him for the first time. That is because I don’t care how much I like someone, as soon as they show themselves to be a liar (and a bully on top of that) then all bets are off. I would not be calling BYJ a liar if I didn’t ABSOLUTELY believe he (by way of BOF) is lying about the photos. His statement issued by BOF also claimed BYJ was “harmed” by the so-called “false reporting” about the photo. This is childish, manipulative, bulls*ht. How in the world is he HARMED by this? He isn’t. What’s at issue here is that he is, in effect, LJA’s *boss* (because he’s the head of BOF and she’s under BOF management) and he doesn’t want it out that he’s shtupping her, that’s what it is. He also wouldn’t want it to appear that she’s getting jobs through BOF because she’s shtupping the boss. This predicament is as old as the hills. They all need to grow up. Good for him if they are dating. They are both adults. They are doing nothing wrong. It’s the lying and bullying that’s outrageous.

and compare with ur posting on
@ Dumpling April 6, 2008 at 11:45 am
you get it?….
Oh, you guys are nuts. I never posted my comments from here to anywhere else. That’s one of YOU guys taking my comments from here and putting them elsewhere. “By Anonymous”?? You have got to be kidding.
I think it’s you who needs to get a life. But now I see BYJ fans for what they are. Pretty sneaky trick, I’ll grant you that.
You be careful now Dumpling.
We are watching you and your moves.
We are now pretty sure that you are the on
posting them. Why are you so defensive?
Because you are guilty and you are nuts.
Dumpling, that blog is very special for YJ fans.
It’s our source of information and the owner
of the blog is respected by many sisters.
YJ fans will never do that..I repeat..never…
I read the postings there and the way that
anonymous write is very very similar to the way
you write, so as the LEGEND SUCKS.
I’m not surprised that the people here in popseoul
here in popseoul will do this kind of thing because
you have no heart. All you do is to bash Korean
artists. You are all anti-Korean in my opinion.
Why will YJ fans do that?
FYI, we know each sister very well
and we do meet in person so we know
that baefans are very nice and educated.
You and the writers here in popseoul are
the one doing it. We will never harm
a fellow baesisters because we are family
like “mafia”.
You don’t write anywhere else?
You do tell that to the marines.
@Dumpling April 9, 2008 at 7:04 pm
it’s seems you need Sherlock Holmes and his partner dr.Watson for yourself.. to find out who’s put your posting there..
if.. if that’s true you’re not doing that..
hmmm….
@Dumpling April 9, 2008 at 7:04 pm
But now I see BYJ fans for what they are. Pretty sneaky trick, I’ll grant you that.
————
sorry Dumpling… we’re not like that… and I’m not a nut woman.
wondering.. what kind of people are you ?! so easy to make
an accuse?.. shame on you !
maybe my English not as good as you are.. but I’m not so stupid as you’re.. at least I know what you’re meaning..
you always pretending as a smart girl..
but I don’t think you are…
and please give some respects to others .. and others will do the same way to you than..
To Maybell..
Just to inform you.. I have never posted in any other BYJ sites, so you can stop overly thinking if it’s me who posted and drop those notions that only I and Dumpling can ever make posts similar to that.
Hasn’t it crossed your mind that maybe that “By Anonymous” guy/gal felt that the comment posted by Dumpling is what he/she also exactly feels prompting him/her to just quote/borrow the wordings in Dumpling’s earlier post here in PS?
And for your information, I do admire many Korean artists, just did not happen to like the only man in your family- BYJ, so you may drop the Anti-Korean thing.
And another FYI for you: Isn’t it you who doesn’t have a heart at all? Coz it takes someone like you to accuse everyone here in PS to have no heart..People here just post what they think and feel about the topics posted by PS, and your so called family become quarrelsome to those whose posts are unlike and unfavorable to you senses.
You contradict yourself coz I remember well your posting about coming here just to give facts and straighten out somethings. Now I don’t see you as a smarter or more matured fan of BYJ as you see yourself to be.
typo error:
… unfavorable to your senses.
To Maybell
Another thing: I don’t want to belive that just because I have some posts in defense of Dumpling.. it might lead you to think now that I am also Dumpling.. For everyone’s information- I’m not.
Now I’m very positive that LENGEND SUCKS is also
Dumpling. Had you did not say about your feelings towards
me, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt.
I remember you being the first one to comment nicely
about my post and I remember how I believed that you
really liked YJ. LEGEND SUCKS never commented to my nicely.
And it was lately, after the LEGEND, the he/she used
that name. YJ fans can also be tigers if they need so
and if YJ’s reputation is being hurt.
You are also accusing BYJ fans as well as those ppl that
are posting here for copying your comments..
You are one hell of a hypocrite. You are the one who can’t
take other people’s opinion. If I’m not smart or not
is not what we are discussing here. It is your action and
your harsh character that is pissing off everyone in
the baefamily. You are also going to BYJ’s thread of one
big site. Do you know that we can request to ban you from
posting there? You get a life and stop meddling with
our affairs. You mind your own business or it is your job
that’s why you are not stopping? You are being paid for
ruining the reputation of K-stars?
@ Maybell ,
I really think you should change your name to Dumbbell. Most people can so obviously see that Legend sucks and Dumpling are two different person. Their writing styles are so different. Get a life. And no,I not Dumpling and/or Legend and I do not post in Bae board. I don’t even know where to look for it. But your accusation and how determine and convince you are that you are right crack me up. Maybe to you, BYJ is your world but to others he is just another star.
Oops, should be I am not Dumpling….
