I guess Japanese TVXQ fans aren't the only ones striving to put their feelings in print on Korean papers - Baidu BAR, a TVXQ fan group on Baidu, purchased an advertisement that was printed on Gyunghyang, a daily Korean newspaper on December 26, TVXQ's sixth anniversary. On the advertisement, the members of Baidu BAR left a message to SM Entertainment expressing their full support for TVXQ and request for SME to stop its alleged harassment of the five members:
You are trying to cut the dreams that [TVXQ] has been creating for the past six years, and are hurting the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people who felt joy because of them. Stop your actions that are hurting the five members. Let them sing freely without any constraints. The storm will wither soon. We will protect them forever so that they are not harmed. We will forever wait. We are always standing by TVXQ - China's TVXQ Baidu BAR -Baidu BAR was also helped by Korean fans, who distributed this advertisement to various media and press outlets. "Because this is TVXQ's sixth anniversary, Chinese Casseiopeians wanted to deliver an advertisement that expresses our current feelings across the sea," one of the participants explained, adding, "Right now, SM Entertainment is constantly hurting TVXQ. However, all of the TVXQ fans will unite to form a solid knot in order to help TVXQ keep their dreams." In the advocates' press release, the fans stated, "We will wait until the day that TVXQ can sing without burden when the rain stops and the sky is clear ... Until [SM Entertainment] stops harassing TVXQ, we are committed to protect them." On a brighter note, TVXQ appeared as five on Asahi TV's Music Station Super Live on Christmas day and is scheduled to attend the Japan Record Awards on the 30th and NHK's Kohaku Uta Gassen on the 31st. Despite the lawsuit controversy that has been going on for half a year now, we would like to wish TVXQ a happy sixth anniversary and hope 2010 brings an optimistic resolution to these issues.
