Jaejoong meets with fans in Indonesia despite suffering from a severe sore throat



JYJ's Jaejoong recently spent an enjoyable time with 4,000 fans in Jakarta, Indonesia despite a bad cold that left him hardly able to speak.

Due to a cold he was suffering, it's been reported that he was unable to attend the press conference he had originally planned on holding. However, despite not feeling well and his throat being in bad shape, the singer showed his fighting spirit and his dedication to his fans as he insisted on holding the fan meeting as scheduled.

C-JeS Entertainment revealed, "A day before leaving for Indonesia, Kim Jaejoong had caught a cold that affected his throat and was advised by the doctor to get rest. Thus, we discussed cancelling or postponing the event, but Jaejoong insisted on meeting with fans who had been waiting for him for a long time."



Although he was in a state where he could hardly speak, Jaejoong attended the fan meeting held on the 3rd at Mata Elang International Stadium, and was able to communicate with fans through 'text talk' and also hand wrote a letter to his fans which was read and translated by the host of the event, touching the hearts of fans.

As he couldn't sing for his fans, he shook hands with all the fans in attendance and took photos with them to commemorate the occasion.

The singer stated through his hand written letter, "I feel so bad that I'm not sure what to say. I pondered [on this event] due to the bad condition of my throat because of a bad cold. However, I thought that I should create memories up close with everyone. Indonesia is a place that we haven't been able to visit often, so I'm thankful that even from far away many of you show me and JYJ so much love. I think I am such a blessed and happy person to be sitting here."

C-JeS assured fans not to worry as they stated, "As soon as Jaejoong gets back to Korea, we'll be making sure he gets plenty of rest to allow for recovery."

The singer will be concluding his Asia fan meeting tour with the last event in Vietnam on the 10th.
