[Discussion] KT-TUN around Asia tour and Jin in LA

[yumenokoe]

I just read (probably like everyone else ^^’) the news about KT-TUN touring around Asia and Jin going to LA again and I must say, that I was rather surprised by all the comments I saw, and what the people say about it… Because I am actually kind of happy about all this… (am I weird? XD)

Yesterday I was really annoyed and upset by the news but today I am more in shock.

Although I only got into KAT-TUN during the time when they release DUES and was not apart of the fandom when Jin left, just the thought of them being split up again really bothers me. I want them to be 6, I want to continue believing in a 6 member KAT-TUN, I really do, but sometimes Jin's individualistic attitude when he's with the group makes it difficult to continue believing in 6. I get the impression that he has given up and wants out of the group, and that's what frustrates me the most!

Today, I think the opportunity will benefit them all but when I think about their next album only being done by 5 members, their next single being done by 5 members, the next MV, and the tour all being done by 5 members, as a KAT-TUN fan who has long believed in them growing together, it's just upsetting.

I wish all 6 of them the best but I think this decision was just done at the wrong time. I think KAT-TUN's Asia Tour following their record breaking 8 days in Tokyo Dome tour is fitting but to have Jin leave is weird. I will support the decision for them to do this the way they have planned it, but it does not mean I like it at all. I hope that KAT-TUN will remain KAT-TUN but if Jin's attitude changes again, like it did when he returned to KAT-TUN after he left, then I will just give up on him as a member of KAT-TUN.

Also, although it has been 4 years since KAT-TUN's debut, including these 6 months and the last 6 months, Jin has only been apart of KAT-TUN for 3 years since their debut. I mean, seriously, how many Johnny's groups or individuals have that bad of a track record of being apart from their group, and it doesn't even have anything to do with an illness ...

I agree with you.

to be honest i totally sicks of ppls point all the blame to Jin..just like he already murder someone or what.. is it really his own decision go to LA? he cannot decide that by himself! if not fans already got a massive album, dvd etcs the true is he struggling to convince JE about the stuff he wanna do..do u how much his effort he putting into until he got to perform you&jin Japan..i bet u don't! so i think if ppls who doesn't know him better, it's good if they gonna give up on him coz Jin don't deserved ike that!

a TV channel offered Jin to come to the US after seeing his performances of You&Jin which means, he didn't actually have the choice of when he wanted to go there. It was probably difficult for him to leave KAt-TUN at such an important time of their career, but believe he did the right decision. the timing was indeed bad, but he didn't choose it. this was probably a difficult decision for him, and for the group. Even though it's sad to see them being only 5 people again, it won't last forever! Jin will be back in 6 month which isn't such a long time!

KAT-TUN are still a group, Jin didn't give up on them at all. If he had wanted to, this would have been the best oppotunity for him to do it, since he was so succesfull with his solo concerts. but He didn't leave, and I believe it is because he wants them to go world wide as a group too. this is not the kind of oportunity he should have let go!

Oh no, he didn't leave because of an illness... He's got something even worse: it's incurable,it's leading his life, making him happy... And that's called a Dream.

THANK YOU for pointing out it most likely wasn't even his own decision. It feels like people actually believe KT decide everything on their own, and forget the JE LOVES MONEY.

I just wanted to say, this comment was so touching it made me cry. oh Jin... T.T

[yumenokoe]

*gives tissues*
sorry, I didn't want to make you cry!^^'
I'm glad you understand what I meant though :)

[ichigohunny]

haha no worries, they were not sad tears :) Actually I never thought of myself as much a Jin fan so it came as a shock to me that I genuinely felt so so happy for him when I heard the news (instead of being angry-mad). personally think it's less painful to just be happy for all KAT-TUN for being able to live as they like, and I feel like Jin has been wanting to do this for a long time.

[pi_ka_chuu]

that's also what comes up to me at first..thinking that jin will be leaving again.. but now, let's just give them our support! they can make it! and jin will surely coming back! :)

I agree. It's getting harder to believe~~~
