читать дальшеBriefly, though: Junsu was really frothy over the breakup and I kinda feel like he holds grudges longer than Changmin does, which is why my mental list goes like this:
#1 Junsu — doesn’t want it because he’d never work under SM Ent again and Yunho and Changmin would never leave SM Ent, so.
Also, look at how he’s just flourished under CJES. He feels like being a lady today? CJES lets him make out with himself. He wants to play soccer? CJES sends him fancams of his matches. He wants to go to Germany? CJES fetches him a tiny gyrating fanboy… okay, I think the fanboy probably wasn’t orchestrated by CJES, but you get where this is going.
He gets solo albums and concerts and tours and MVs and he just seems so happy. Even in collaborative pieces, he dominates vocally, which was hard with both Changmin and Jaejoong around. When you have to split a song five ways, someone’s gonna get shafted occasionally and Junsu used to passionately lip-sync others’ parts during live performances and just…
#2 Changmin — there is no way that boy wants a reunion. You know how I know? He never ever says he wants one. Even in the interviews from this week, both he and Yunho firmly say the past is past and they want to focus on the present and the future, which ostensibly doesn’t seem to include JYJ in any capacity.
The others…
Yoochun probably wouldn’t mind if they contributed in some way to each other’s projects — like, if he wrote them a song or if Yunho added a rap verse to some of his compositions or brought him cookies, IDK.
Jaejoong… IDK, man, that dude is a hot mess and he needs constant reassurance about a lot of stuff which I don’t think Changmin wants to give to anyone but Yunho.
So he’d be constantly thrown off balance and I don’t think that should happen to him right now? He needs stability. He needs attention. Without being an attention whore. You know? IDK how to explain what I mean, but a smaller group, where the attention is naturally given to him without him having to ask for it, is healthier.
Yunho…
Okay. So. No one get mad, but I feel like the reason they’ve been pushing Changmin into MCing is because Yunho will be enlisting soon. SM probably planned this out SUPER METICULOUSLY during the hiatus so that TVXQ (minus Yunho) can survive until it’s Changmin’s turn and they can swap because the fanbase is strong enough to carry them through the army years.
They can just tag team the absence away, you know?
BUT.
Politically, it’s a bad time to enlist ‘cause North Korea has stuff to prove to its people and tensions are high (which doesn’t necessarily mean anything warlike will result from it because, you know, the war’s been going on since, like, 1950), so Yunho will probably have to wait until 2014—
I AM DERAILING.
Okay, I just honestly don’t think a reunion — a legit reunion where they’re one band again, working for the same company — is plausible or… um, wanted by any of them.
They operate on such vastly different levels right now. They’d fight. They’d disagree. They wouldn’t understand why they couldn’t do it the way they do it — the way they’ve been doing it for four years — as JYJ or as Yunho and Changmin.
Changmin isn’t the maknae when it’s just the two of them; he’s a partner and an equal but stick him back in a group where he’s two years younger than everyone and he won’t be happy.
And Junsu, oh my god, this kid has to suffer through Yoochun and Jaejoong forgetting him the majority of the time. Imagine doubling that. Like getting left at the supermarket by your mom and your dad AND your grandparents and just… that’s the sense I get. I know how awful this must be to read, but like… they spent a huge chunk of their formative years together and they STILL decided to part ways.
They’re not going to change their minds.
This whole situation gets super romanticized, especially by people who’ve been fans for a decade, but it’s not really all that romantic or tragic. It’s just… what happens in life and they all seem happy now so… I’m gonna stop defending my answer and go find some cake because this made me kinda sad and hungry.
