Letters to the Red Ocean Cassiopeia......for Cassies/JYJ/Homin Fans......a must read...

Dear Cassiopeia/JYJ/Homin Fans,

The following letter is an abstract from wordpress I have obtained from TiaraL.

Please note that I will be doing  'DBSK' updates later....but for now hold your comments till the end after you have finished read. Send this On to all Cassies, former Cassies and newbie Cassies....they need to read this..

Faithfully yours,

Cassiopeia United.


Dear Cassiopeias, Geminis, Orions, OT5′s, ‘JYJFamily’, ‘HoMin fans’, or whatever you wish to be called,

Please read the following with open eyes, and open hearts. Save your comments until you’ve read, and the words have sunk in.

None of us need reminding of the reason there is a lot of fighting. It’s a painful thing for each of us. But right now, all we’re doing is making it more painful. People have been hurt over this, some people have done the hurting. There is no doubt in my mind, that at some point we have caused the five pain also. I doubt as though they want us to fight.

Right now our fandoms have a very bad image. I was talking to a friend of mine who used to be a fan of TVXQ, but hasn’t been since the fans started fighting. She became extremely embarrassed to see the things being said. She’s a dedicated VIP and E.L.F, and she told me that… the fandom, Cassiopeia, Gemini, Orion– whatever you want to call us– have an extremely bad image. People think we’re rabid, and antisocial. They think we can’t have an adult debate and conversation, they think we can’t accept opinions, get over people who we don’t agree with, and move on.

They are right.

Because right now, as a collective, the fandom seems like a group of five year olds at a birthday party, fighting over who gets to play with the only toy.

Cassiopeia, where is your pride? You, we, are a powerful fanbase. The biggest in the world. Once upon a time, we were respected. Where is our pride, when a lot of Cassies, won’t admit they are Cassies? Where is our warm family that used to love each other? When they cried, we cried, whey smiled and laughed, we smiled and laughed. Where are the fond memories we have? And please understand, loving all five is hard for some people these days so they can not be forced to love that which their heart does not!

JYJ Fans, where are your manners? And your grown up attitudes? You’re on the hard end of the fight, to win you have to grow up and learn how to have adult, civilised conversations and debates. Life is one big debate, if you cry and get angry over tiny little things… then you’re not going to get very far. You react so fiery to even the smallest of comments and that makes things worse. Sometimes, you have to know when it is  better to keep quiet than it is to speak up. Stop reacting to every little thing– you want to protect the three, we know that, but you embarrass yourselves as much as you do the rest of us!

HoMin fans, where are your hearts? We understand  you are in pain, no one wants you to be in pain. We’re all in pain, but that’s no reason to lash out at us, or at JYJ. We know you feel betrayed and confused, we all feel betrayed and confused. But we have more in common than you would think. You don’t have to support JYJ, but it would be nice if both sides of fans could get along and set a good example. You want HoMin to succeed right? They won’t unless you show a good example for new fans.

Ot5 fans. What do I say here? You often take things too far. You’re upset too, we know. We’re in pain also. We have cried, but we have gotten back up. Life will knock you down, but you can chose to get back up. Did you not once say you would support all five? Have you forgotten that? Maybe you don’t like JYJ, maybe you don’t like HoMin either, maybe you only like TVXQ. That’s fine, but please stop hurting both sides. And please note, yelling inappropriate things at concerts and interviews is just disrespectful and childish.

We all want them to succeed, but how can they when we can’t support them? When we’re divided  by fighting, we can’t focus on them. When we have so many hateful things in our hearts, how can you truly love them?

I’m not saying for an instant that either side is right, and I’m not saying either side is wrong. The lawsuit is not our burden, and none of us know the full truth– and we will probably never, ever know the full truth. All we can do is listen to our hearts, smile and support those we love.

We don’t have to support all five, and we don’t have to be best of friends. But can we not get along? Why must we fight? There is enough fighting out in that cold, harsh world. How do we cope if we’re fighting with friends who we once embraced and cried with?

We’re all as much to blame as the people sitting across from us! Please understand that not one of you is right, and not one of you is wrong. You’re standing up for something you love, and that’s a beautiful thing– but when it’s at the cost of other people’s feelings, surely you understand it’s best to… take a break?

Right now we have to accept the likelihood of five ever being one again is very low. We can keep hoping, and we can keep the faith, but we have to accept that this whole thing probably goes deeper than what we understand and see. Stop trying to punish each other for their choices, and stand back and let them get on with what they want to. Time is the best healer, it really is, but for wounds to heal, they also need air. Take some steps back, stop trying to stop the growth of the others. In time, things will become easier. For  now we just have to accept that… things are as they are, but we can make it easier now if we stop fighting.

We have the rights to support who we want to support, but we do not have the rights to make another person suffer for the things their heart tells them. In no way am I saying to gloss over the whole thing with fake smiles! But please understand that if you’re in pain, so are others.

I know it’s futile saying these things, because  no one will listen, or they will just attack me for saying these things, but I have to get them off my chest. If even one person steps back for a bit and realises how much of our pain, is inflicted by our fighting, then I will be happy.

Yours faithfully,
A Cassiopeia who misses a lot of her friends.

-Hope to the End and Always Keep the Faith

I support all 5 of them, if they are together or not...as long as they are happy. :)
(But of course, I would like them to be 5 again! <3 )

I hope many Cassiopeians or JYJ only or Homin only fans read this :( I have said things that were kind of innapropiate I guess, calling JYJ or Homin only fans untrue Cassies and now I feel terrible after reading this letter.

Cassiopeia was a huge family wasn't it? I became a Cassie around 2010 so I'm still new I guess, but why is it so hard to just support all five of TVXQ? Why do we all have to argue about this?

Why can't Orions or Holyshinki's whatever JYJ only or Homin only fans are called, just love all five of TVXQ? JYJ/Homin are still brothers and have no grudges against each other to the person that said they are holding a 'grudge'.

Can't we all just love JYJ AND HoMin though? Just because they split it means Cassiopeia had to split? How childish in a way *shakes head in shame*

Thank you for posting this letter :) I'm a friend of TiaraL's actually and she's got to be one of the best and sweetest Cassies around ^^
