[Info] Jaejoong's friendship with Park Jibin

During filming of BOF, he often uploaded pictures of himself with Lee Minho, Kim Jun, etc on his minihompy and released pictures of himself with Jaejoong, who’s currently in Japan, on a surprise date. They took pictures of themselves drinking cola at one shot, and them having an enjoyable dinner.

Jaejoong met Park Jibin, his self proclaimed fan, in 2005 at a children charity foundation. Jaejoong then exchanged phone numbers with him and they’ve been maintaining a close hyung-dongsaeng* relationship for the past 5 years or so.

Jaejoong said “Jibinnie’s voice is very soft and sweet so I thought it was a female fan that called. Now I call him my dongsaeng who’s like a girlfriend” showing his love for his dongsaeng. Park Jibin replied “Jaejoong hyung is the most handsome member in TVXQ’

Netizens commented “It’s great to see such kindhearted boys so close to each other” “It’s cool and interesting that their friendship has overcome the age gap”

*= dongsaeng is what an older brother (hyung) calls their younger brother
