jhcwhite, thanks for the reply! hmmmm, so the reasons were never really explained explicitly in the drama.

Hope this post is not going to upset people because I am also waiting for news every day ….

Waiting waiting

I have tried Chinese body message (推拿) and my friend says 針炙 can help to reduce the pain.
I have no confidence in chinese 針炙, but my friend does.

I am not making excuses for JHJ and his company. It is true in business world today.
There are many candidates for a good job. When my nephew graduated from a university, she spent more than ten months to fix her job. She sent a lot of application letters to banks. She always got a final interview, but she was not chosen at the end. At first, she notified us that she had a final interview. She was very happy about it and was very confident in getting the job. After a few times of disappointment, she lost her confidence. Because she didn’t want to let us down time to time, she didn’t tell us anything at all until she signed the contract.
Besides, as my husband said tonight, “It is only a short period of time after the last project ended in May 19. It takes time to apply and start a new good job. Don’t be too nervous!”

as much as stressfully waiting for Jhj’s news, i hope you could channel your stress here…

we are here for you, feeling the same frustration…

the song is truly representing our frustration and silent hope..

well at least KOW should now need to take action n dont just give empty plain promise..

prissymom, i rewatched OY a few times but yes the same impression i get is there is no clear explanation for it. All I can remember is that someone (i think it’s the sister or the 2nd female lead) mentioned that if EnJae insisted to be with YiJun, she’ll become a 2nd YiJun’s mom (meaning they will have similar fate), so I understood it as referring to the breaking up of dad and mom was also something about the different background/class. They had insisted to be together, and even gave birth to YiJun but in the end they still were cursed by the rich family, and somehow the constant conflicts (my own guess) snowballed into separation because the mom couldn’t take the pain anymore. So they let her leave with the criteria that she must not contact her kids or she just abandon the kids herself (this I really unsure). Yes, you can see majority are my guesses from the subtle hints they gave in the drama, hope not too far from the truth haha…

prissymom, OY is not my favourite JHJ drama and I don’t feel like checking it out, sorry! Can anyone help prissymom, please?

The English subs on the copy I have do not clearly explain the reason for the divorce and the “no contact”. I don’t know if this was just a problem with the English subs or if the drama didn’t really explain the reason clearly. I have been meaning to ask this a long time ago but I just kept forgetting, so if someone can give me a clear explanation, I would really appreciate it.

we wish we can do more to help JHJ but the absence of materials is stopping us right now… all we can do is wait and pray and wait and pray… for people who are used to “doing” rather than just “waiting” that can really be frustrating … i don’t know if this continued silence is with JHJ’s blessings, I assume it is because from previous accounts he has always been like this… we thought that JHJ may have changed after his MS, but it seems he is, at core, still the same person – low-profile, publicity-shy, would rather not burden his fans with his troubles … if we accept that JHJ’s personality really hasn’t changed much, this “waiting” period may become more bearable…

i don’t think JHJ’s continued silence means he doesn’t care about his fans or that he can’t be bothered about us… i just think keeping things to himself is so deeply-ingrained that it would be hard for him to change now … and do we really want him to change into something he is not comfortable with just to please us or to keep the fans he has now? i, for one, wouldn’t want that.

i still wish that JHJ can be with a better MC, but since it is unlikely that he’ll leave SNH then I’ll just have to accept things the way they are and just hope for the best for JHJ.

wuliJHJ, please take care of yourself. we love you and we worry about you too. those of us who come here regularly will continue to support JHJ and this blog no matter how long we have to wait for JHJ news. don’t give up, please!

sometime i wonder maybe it’s not about the MC, it’s just jhj his personality, because the lack of news does not only happen with this small MC but also the big MC in the past right? If he refused to give any info on himself during break, i think the MC will respect him. If that is what he prefers, then as fans we probably can’t do much, but just hang around till his new project surface. Actually i’m happy enough to see new posts here, be it some fan-made MVs, wulijhj’s sharing of diary, or just some recycled pictures, because there’ll always be NEW comments made by the fans that visit this site, and I really enjoy reading all the comments and even happier when i can join in the discussions. So pls do not be disheartened wulijhj, we really enjoy at this site, and you should too! Fighting!

I have the same feeling of you. I keep on worrying about JHJ’s career.

In Korea, a big company gets most opportunities for its artists. It has more professional staff, more capital and more bargaining power. It is a fact that JHJ belongs to a small company. It is difficult for him to get good roles of good projects. However, I have the faith that JHJ will have his opportunities.
I cannot do anything for him, but I have the faith that our support can make JHJ more confident in his career and feel better when he is waiting for his opportunities.
Although we have no news of JHJ now, something is proceeding. If there is confirmation of job, we can know it.
JHJ is the main bread earner of his company. JHJ and his company must be very eager to start new projects.
JHJ is very busy in preparing his casting (reading scripts, thinking about the style of acting, practising singing, etc.). His company is busy in contacting production companies for a good role of JHJ.

You have very wise husband for telling you not to do anything that makes you unhappy. Same reminder I hear from my husband when I feel unhappy about something that didn’t turn out the way I want it to. But I also believe that there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. So I know my unhappiness is only momentary. I’m saying this with hopes that we will get some type of news from his MC, or better yet, JHJ himself. Wishful thinking on my part?

I do know one of the causes of stress is heartache and frustration.

And like you, I also believe star chasing should be fun. I really had so much fun getting to know JHJ before and during 49 Days here. Not just about what is happening during his 49 Days filming, etc. It was also about JHJ himself (from this site). So I understand how frustrated you are with JHJ’s MC right now. You want to be able to give us some information and there’s nothing out there.

All I can about SNH is… they LIE LIE LIE!!!
