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.

Finally, in the same JaeFriends episode, Jaejoong himself encouraged K.Will to make a sequel to the “Please Don’t” MV. If he were truly against same-sex relationships, he wouldn’t have done that, would he? – K-Pop News Writer
