JYJ talk about their frame of mind 4 years ago

JYJ revealed how they felt during the 4 years of lawsuit with SM Entertainment.

In the interview with their new magazine 'The JYJ', the subject of leaving their former label, 4 years ago in 2009 was brought up. Yoochun said, "Our label at the time, SM Entertainment, must have suffered, but if we look back at it now, we're the ones that suffered even more. We used to think, 'This, too, will pass'."

Junsu added, "It was really hard on us, but all we could do was bear with it."

Jaejoong reminisced, "All we could do was silently maintain our position. If we said something, it could be misunderstood, and if we said it wasn't true, we would seem like cowards, so we couldn't do anything."

'The JYJ' magazine was recently released chronicling thoughts they have kept to themselves for 1000 days. It contains 139 pages in all including their various interviews which lasted a total of 25 hours.

On their past 1000 day experience, the members said, "There were a lot of hard things to endure over the past 1000 days, but we can say we were honestly happy. We had to work hard and there were unexpected obstacles, but we were able to grow and learn that much more."
