When Kpop News Portals Hand You Rumors...

So, today (thanks to Twitter) the TVXQ fandom is buzzing with chatter.  Why?  An article has come out saying that there is a possibility that the group might get back together because Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu's names have been noticed on certain profile boards for TVXQ on certain sites.  This comes just a few days before another court date.  Most of the comments from netizens and fans alike most likely pass it off as a rumor.  As for me, I'll take this with the grain of salt, but I'm also excited about it.  To be honest I'm ready to be done with this lawsuit.  It's been over 3 years already, and fans are really getting tired of it.  I'm sure the members involved as well as the company--and everyone else affected by it--is ready for it all to end.  I know that I've said before that until the members themselves say something about it, that's when I would believe.  But so far, they haven't really said anything.  OTL

I suppose what is sad is that most fans are probably more comfortable with how things are now.  Some don't want the to reunite because they say the members are doing great.  Others just don't really expect anything to change any time soon.  It feels like fans these days are quite pessimistic.  I would love it for them to reunite again (outside of SM if possible).  Things these past 3 years have been truly a crazy roller coaster ride in my fangirl life.  I haven't been really watching videos of the current things the members have been doing.  And to be honest...hearing 'remade' songs like 'Somebody to Love' or performing old ones like 'Rising Sun' weren't so appealing to me.  It just didn't feel right.  Sometimes I wondered if it ever affected HoMin when they sang those songs.  Of course, that's not to say that I don't listen to their other songs.  .__. 

One thing that does worry me though is that their reputation might suffer if they come back together.  I hope that the members themselves have no 'bad blood' among each other also.  But I suppose we'd have to see how things would pan out.  And if the situation where they have to disband happens again, I hope that it's due to a better situation (like getting too old for entertainment or contracts expiring normally). 

Yet again, I type another entry that is more of a rant, huh?  Well, the bottom line is that though I should take this rumor with a grain of salt, I'm feeling rathe optimistic about it as well.  Ultimately, we'll have to see what will happen.  Peace out.
