JYJ′s Kim Jae Joong had a great time with 4,000 of his fans in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Although he found it hard to speak because he was sick with a bad cold, he still stood onstage to keep his promise with his fans.
Kim Jae Joong′s agency C-JeS Entertainment told enews on November 4, "Kim Jae Joong came down with a bad cold on the day before he was to leave for Indonesia, and the doctor recommended that he rest for a while. We talked about postponing or cancelling the event, but Kim Jae Joong insisted that we should proceed with the fanmeeting for those fans who have waited for a long time."
On November 3 (local time), Kim Jae Joong managed to talk with his fans in Jakarta through a ′text talk′ despite his bad throat, and had his MC read out a letter he had written. He seemed to feel sorry that he couldn′t sing, and instead shook hands with everyone at the venue and took a group photo with them.
After the fanmeeting was over, he even presented each fan with candy.
Kim Jae Joong said in his letter, "I don′t know what to say because I′m so sorry. I thought a lot about [holding the event] because my throat wasn′t in a very good condition from the cold. Still, I wanted to share more memories with you by stepping closer to you. I haven′t been to Indonesia often, and I thank you for loving me and JYJ from so far away. I′m a very happy person, sitting here like this. Today, let′s have the best time ever in our own way."
The singer′s first visit to Indonesia drew about 1,000 fans to the airport, and tickets for his fanmeeting sold out in a fairly short time after they were made available.
Eva, a fan who attended the fanmeeting, said, "I understand that he can′t sing because he′s sick, and I′m very worried. I′m thankful that he kept his promise with his Indonesian fans even though he′s not in top condition. I was touched at the handwritten letter, the handshake event and the photo shoot. This is the happiest day of my life."
Maria, another fan, said, "Is there any other singer that loves his fans this much? Although he didn′t say anything, Kim Jae Joong and we were thankful for and sorry toward each other. The way he worked so hard despite his illness was so beautiful. I′m so happy to be Kim Jae Joong′s fan."
"As soon as he returns [to Korea], Kim Jae Joong plans to rest and take care of himself in order to recover," a source from C-JeS Enertainment said.
Kim Jae Joong will wrap up his Asia fanmeeting tour with a fanmeeting in Vietnam on November 10.
