Kim Jaejoong’s Shocked Reaction to K.Will’s ‘Please Don’t’ MV Goes Viral

During a recent episode of his YouTube show JaeFriends, second-generation K-pop idol Kim Jaejoong watched K.Will’s music video for “Please Don’t” for the first time. He went viral for his epic reaction, a video of which has since amassed over a million views on X (formerly Twitter). Despite their long-standing friendship of over 20 years, Jaejoong admitted to not having watched all of K.Will’s videos, which set the stage for a surprising revelation.

The “Please Don’t” music video is known for its twist ending, which broke new ground in South Korean media at the time of its release. It features Ahn Jae Hyun, Seo In Guk, and SISTAR’s Dasom in a love triangle. At the end of the video, viewers find out that Seo In Guk’s character is in love with Ahn Jae Hyun’s character, not Dasom’s. When Jaejoong watched the video, he misunderstood the plot. At first, he believed the video was about the female character’s romantic problems. K.Will wondered if they were watching the same thing.

Jaejoong isn’t homophobic

When the video ended, Jaejoong exclaimed, “What’s going on? What’s wrong with this ending?” His reaction, captured live, showed the former TVXQ member struggling to process what he saw. This sparked angry and disappointed responses from JaeFriends viewers. They thought Jaejoong reacted that way because he was uncomfortable with the homosexual theme of the video. However, others came to his defense, sharing that they were also surprised by the video’s ending when they first saw it. They viewed Jaejoong’s reaction as a natural response to an unexpected plot twist.

His supporters also pointed out his history of engaging with BL (Boys’ Love) content and his well-documented fan service, which often included playful interactions with bandmate U-Know Yunho. Furthermore, Jaejoong has been spotted reading Japanese yaoi manga in public. He also promoted BL K-drama The Eighth Sense on his socials and contributed an OST to Mr. Heart, another drama of the same genre. Fans believe this shows Jaejoong isn’t homophobic.

JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong Shares Terrifying Sasaeng Stories From TVXQ! Days

Kim Jaejoong is one idol who has experienced the best and the worst in the K-pop industry. After all, the former TVXQ! member has been making music for over 12 years. So it’s no surprise that the JYJ member has some shocking tales to tell. Kim recently shared terrifying sasaeng stories from his time with TVXQ!

Former TVXQ! Member Kim Jaejoong Shares Horrifying Sasaeng Stories

In an episode of his online podcast, Kim Jaejoong shared some chilling experiences with sasaengs, the obsessive and invasive fans known for their extreme behavior in the world of K-Pop. During the broadcast, Kim read an alarming story from a listener who had returned home one day, only to find that their door was unlocked, causing panic. The listener couldn’t recall if they had locked it that morning. Upon hearing this story, the JYJ member instantly connected with the listener’s fear, as he had his own share of disturbing sasaeng stories.

Jaejoong revealed that he had received photo text messages featuring images of his living room, kitchen, and bedroom, with an unsettling detail: he was present in every photo. The sasaengs had somehow entered his home, snapped the pictures, and then left. The mystery of how they obtained his phone number only added to the terror he experienced. Following this incident, Jaejoong changed the locks on his doors to ensure his safety.

Another harrowing incident involved Jaejoong moving into a new apartment. To his shock, sasaeng fans managed to rent or purchase an apartment directly opposite his, even on the same floor. These individuals would watch him closely whenever he appeared on his terrace, invading his privacy and leaving him feeling trapped and vulnerable.

Jaejoong’s sasaeng stories spanned over 12 years before his life gradually returned to a sense of normalcy. While he is no longer tormented by sasaengs today, his ability to endure and overcome such invasive intrusions for more than a decade is a testament to his resilience and strength.
