Jaejoong's Twitter Profile

Anyone who is following or have seen Jaejoong's Twitter, would see that his profile reads:

@ Mjjeje
JYJ from 东方 神 起
source: Kim jae joong's Twitter

Apparently, when this was not how it was in the beginning. The JYJ from 东方 神 起 was added somewhere in April 2011? I am really really not sure when alright. I first saw his Twitter account around September this 2011. The first time I saw his profile, quite frankly, I didn't think much of it. Even til today, I don't find anything wrong or exceptional about it. It was just what it is, a Twitter profile.

However, throughout my journey in between different sites, forums etc, I have come across some really funky comments. These funky comments came from fans who only support HoMin and make it their life mission to bring down JaeChunSu. They think that Jaejoong used the name for popularity. That he was worried, without the  东方 神 起 name, he would be forgotten and he would not make it. Quite frankly, I find those comments rather appalling. First of all, there is no doubt that Jaejoong is from 东方 神 起, thus he have the right to put that to his profile. Secondly, I really do not think he needs the 东方 神 起 name to make himself popular and here are my reasons:
1. If someone who doesn't know 东方 神 起 before the "split" happens, is now supporting TVXQ/东方 神 起 (HoMin), and stumbles upon Jaejoong, would it make that person support Jaejoong or JYJ just because of the name? I don't think so. Because if the person is a TVXQ Act II only fan, that person would know it is only HoMin for now.
2. If someone who already knows 东方 神 起, well, enough said. I don't think putting the name there would make any difference. That particular fan would have made his/her choice, either JaeChunSu, HoMin or YunJaeYooSuMin.
3. If anything, a JYJ fan may actually become a fan of the current TVXQ Act II (thus converting herself to support all 5 members and lead a roller-coaster-of-an-emotion life). Oh, that is if the JYJ fan is not a scary fan (stan) who sees HoMin as evil beings out to destroy JaeChunSu and thus make it his/her life mission to destroy HoMin.

This is not really some insightful post, but merely what I feel.

On a side note, while lurking in 6theory (I still did not sign up for an account), there were screencaps of Jaejoong's profile. Apparently, at one point in recent days it was JYJ from H方 神 起 and then at some point later (few days later? I don't know), it was JYJ from M方 神 起  That sure sparked some speculations that H & M was for HoMin. But then again, does Jaejoong refer to them as HoMin? I thought it is just the fans? Oh, well, Jaejoong reads fan fictions and goes online looking at his own pictures, so I won't be surprised if he does know HoMin stands for Yunho & Changmin. Firstly, all I see is screencaps, so I do not know if it is genuine or the the work of Photoshop. Secondly, who knows, maybe it is a promotional gimmick for something else. You never know. Remember all the pictures of sky that Jaejoong posted in his twitter, prior to the release of the In Heaven album. Of course, the difference is, those pictures were not taken down, but the profile were changed back to the normal 东方 神 起. Again, I stress, provided it wasn't some PS work in the first.
