Waited for 14 years! Kim Jaejoong breaks SM's ban and performs on the three major TV networks! Korean netizensc commented 'Isn't this a dream?'

Kim Jaejoong, who debuted early with the group "TVXQ", not only left the group after having contractual issues with his former agency SM, but also formed a new group JYJ with then-members Kim Junsu and Park Yoochun. However, due to the acrimonious separation of the three members and SM, they were even blacklisted and hence were unable to appear on Korean public broadcasting stations (KBS, SBS, MBC) for a long time.

Kim Jaejoong, who is now celebrating his 20th anniversary since debut, is still tremendously popular in Japan. He has recently set up a new company after establishing himself alone. Even more, keen netizens noticed that his former agency, SM, sent a flower basket as a congratulation, sparking speculations that the ice between Kim Jaejoong and SM has finally broken.

Today (9th), according to Korean media reports, Kim Jaejoong has finally returned to the three major Korean TV stations after his contract dispute with SM since 2009. This is also Kim Jaejoong's first activity on a Korean public broadcast station after being banned for 14 years.

Reports suggest that Kim Jae-jung has confirmed his participation in the "IDOL RADIO LIVE IN SEOUL" concert hosted by MBC on 23rd of next month. Not only will it be broadcast live by MBC, but the venue is also selected to be the World Cup Stadium in Seoul, which is sure to attract many fans to watch in person.

In addition, related personnel also mentioned, "IDOL RADIO LIVE IN SEOUL" concert will not only broadcast on the main MBC channel, but it will also be broadcasted together on other MBC sub-channels.

Once the news was exposed, the long-waiting fans couldn't contain their excitement, leaving comments like, "After 14 years, finally...", "This is so great! Congratulations Kim Jaejoong", "Is this a dream?", "Finally, we can see Kim Jaejoong on TV again".

However, there is a reason that many fans felt comforted. Although the three members of JYJ have starred in dramas on the three major TV networks since their lawsuit with SM Entertainment ended, they haven't been able to appear on music shows. Thus, this time, Kim Jaejoong's return to MBC's music performances and his appearance on the main channel broadcast is of great significance to the fans.
