[Yoochun Hitting Fan Rumor] This is long but Please read and then make your own judgement!


There is a video that was uploaded recently that shows 'Yoochun' hitting a fan.
First there should be some background information about this video:

This was a video taken in early 2009 during Mirotic promotions. It was taken by sasaeng (stalker) fans who were in front of the DBSK dorms waiting for the 5 members to return home.

Here is a link to the newly re-uploaded video:

This video was first posted back in 2009.
Because sasaeng fancams are generally looked down on by the fandom, it is rare that they are uploaded in the first place.
This was also a time when the fandom was very sensitive to attack from anti-fans, the most famous being the "Lu Xia Mang Mang" Chinese pregnant TVXQ fan incident. (if you want more info about this incident, please ask me. I will not go into detail here)

Because of that, when this video was first posted many fans were curious.
In the video, it is clear to see that Yoochun walks up the stairs, but when the fan is 'struck' it is not clear to see who it is that struck her because it is dark and then Jaejoong walking covers up the girl and the person who struck her.

In response to many questions being directed to the video, the original poster wrote a post about what occurred:

The following is a screencap of the post. I will translate as well as provide Hangul text (in case any of you want to put it in Google translate, so you can see that the translation is not a lie, unlike some information spread by members of other fandoms)

영상의 주인공으로 추 측받던 그 연예인이 아닌것을 직접 목격한.
현장에 계시던 분의 증언 긑이 타 카페에 올라왔슴니다.
모 연에인은 미리 위로 올라간 상태고 죄힌 사람은 그 자리에 계 슥 서었더 사람이라 합니다.
한 회훤님쎄서 그 캡쳐를 직접 저에게 보여주셨 고 제가 화인한 상 태 입 니 다
따라서 처음 여기에 공유하겠다 욜라왔던 자료들도 전부 루머에 해당됩니다.

루머로 판명났기에 그 당시 공유요청을 하셨던 분들은 아까 말씀드렸듯 당연히 강퇴이고.
ᄋᄋᄋ맞잟아 ᄏᄏᄏ 라며 화정지어 말씀하셨던 분듵 역시 루머로 강퇴처리됩니다.

이런 일이 일어날까봐 최대한 피해를 즐이기 위해 달글도 금지라 말씀드렸고
차후에 루머로 밝혀지면 대거 강퇴당하실 수 있으니 미리 조심조심, 신중허 글 써달라 부탁드렸던 것인데
몇몇 분틀이 자꾸만 오해를 하셔서 적젆이 안타까윘습니다.
제가 쓴소리 듣고 혼나는것은 원래 이 자리가 그련 자리이니 상관 없으나
누군가 올린 거짓때문에 300명이 넝 는 분들이 피해를 보셔야겠습니까.

제가 달글을 만들어드리면그 안에서 한 두 분 루머로 강퇴 당하는 분이 생길거고.
절문글을 허용하면 대답욜 해주며 또다시 학실시 말씀하시다 강퇴당하는 분이 생길까봐
글 자제하시라, 무통보 삭제하겠다 및번씩 말씀드린것입니다.


당장 말을 할 수 없으니 답답하고 싫으실 만도 합니다. 그걸 제가 왜 모르겠습니까.
다만 이렇게 될까 두려욌습니다. 악의 없이 피해를 보는 분들이 늘어날까봐 미연에 방지하고
그래서 젤 위해 쓴 공지가 아니라 재차 말씀 드렸습니다.

이텋게 된상핳이 저도 속상합니다. 결국은 재빨리 대처하지 못한 제 책임이란 생각이 들어
죄스런 맘도 들고, 이 일을 어떻게 책임져야 할 지 생각중입니다.

Eyewitness Account of the Video that was posted earlier

The celebrity in the video who you are questioning was already up the stairs while the person who you see is a staff person who was standing on the stairs continuously. One of the members of the website captured an article about your concerns and sent it to me, so I am confirming it now. Thus, any reference that the person in the video is the celebrity is a lie.

Because myself and other witnesses have confirmed this rumor to be a lie, any member who says things such as "haha, this is true" will be dismissed from this website.

I will forbid the reposting of this article in order to minimize any further damage this can create and I have already announced to be careful when speaking about this as to not cause unjust rumors. Those who do not comply may be kicked off the site.

I am disappointed that so many people misunderstood my video; but I can see and accept their position. But why should over 300 people (t/n: staff, associates of DBSK, etc.) be hurt because of a lie that some people have been posting?

I know that some people have been feeling pressured because they cannot prove the rumors are a lie. But I have told what happened and why would I of all people not know that? I am so afraid of this situation now, where innocent people might get hurt, that I do not care about my own reputation (t/n: normally, fans do not admit they are sasaengs b/c it can hurt their reputation)

I would like to apologize that I could not rectify the situation quicker and stop the spread of rumors.

So it is clearly shown that the poster of the video herself--and other eyewitnesses at the event--all said that the person in question was not Yoochun, but rather another staff member (probably a DBSK guard or manager)

Because of this, the video was taken down and it was not mentioned again.

However, recently certain malicious fans have found old posts and have re-uploaded this old video from 2009.
This is the post where the video came from earlier today: http://yfrog.com/z/nttr0okj

This commenter who re-uploaded the video is a known 호텔/HoTel girl (a faction of 2VXQ fans who are JYJ antis)

The video was also posted by another HoTel on the DC Gallery of SNSD member Taeyeon (for some reason)

These fans are spreading a video that the poster herself discussed about. However they are twisting it to fit their own agenda by not including the post that the original uploader had made about the video.

It is sad that some fans need to bring down others right as they are doing well in their careers.

The Korean fandom knows that this is not Yoochun, they are not provoked by this video in any way, and I hope that the international fandom too can make their own decisions after watching the video and seeing the post made by the uploader.

If this eases your mind in anyway, I am glad.
If not...then that is also fine. You are free to make your own decisions when it comes to fandom and who to support.
However, since these are sasaeng videos that are usually not posted at all, I do not know how to provide any better proof than a message from the uploader herself on the situation.

Just know that I am not a fan who thinks my idols have no faults. I know that they are not perfect and that they do stupid things.
I would never defend my idol if they made a mistake because I believe they have to rectify it. I do not lie for my idol because that is my name being put out there and it's not worth it for a person that I don't even know in real life.
However, I will defend my idol if they are wrongly accused with no real evidence.

And to me, evidence that Yoochun was wearing a black shirt and standing on the stairs is not enough to prove anything.
If it is for you, then so be it. But for me, I will take the word of people who were actually present and who have a reason to be angry more than any of us if Yoochun actually did hit one of them.

That is my personal opinion, and this is all that I know.
Please use it to make your own informed decision. Thank you
