I still feel sorry for my nieces and nephews. I didn’t have a place to stay, so she let me stay at her house. As a trainee, I worked many part-time jobs, and I had to cross the Han River from the practice room to get home because I didn’t have transportation money.

Previously, it was revealed that Jaejoong was adopted at a young age, only to find out the truth after debuting at TVXQ in 2004.

Although Korean netizens were shocked at the huge sibling age gap, they were even more shocked at the fact that he was adopted.

  • “His adoptive parents raised him without any discrimination from his sisters. The reason Jaejoong is where he is now without any sharp edges is because of that. His adoptive parents are really amazing people.”
  • “I agree.”
  • “Same.”
  • “You can see this by just watching a little bit of his live broadcast with his parents. They really raised him with so much love. He is just a loving youngest child in front of his parents.”
  • “He looks similar to his sister.”
  • “Wow if she’s the oldest, she must be in her sixties…she looks really young.”

Jaejoong was adopted at three years old after his biological mother gave him up for adoption to an acquaintance who had eight daughters.

I wish to continue living as Kim Jae Joong, as I have always had. I also want my biological and adoptive families to continue understanding and loving each other.
