KPOP and Jay Chou's Statement

I just wanted to clear out and put my foot down as I read these shortcut news article bashing Jay Chou on his statement.  He never said anything wrong, it's his opinion, deal with it!

Comment to one of the blogs I saw:

News is not complete, statement is also not complete. Why I always think that mnet is hyping this up 'coz they know Psy will just disappear along with his Gangnam Style while Jay Chou will still stand firm on his ground as he speaks his inner thoughts and sentiments.
FYI, Jay Chou doesn't need PSY to hype up things like album releases and stuff, he doesn't need to stick his name to PSY coz it'll just be a shame.  PSY's Gangnam will just be another one-hit wonder and I wonder when it will last, but won't wonder why Jay's music will last for a lifetime.  Let PSY savor the fame as his Gangnam is still clicking through the holiday season and a bonus to the fame he's having, he had his nursery song stuck to Jay Chou's name.
As Chinese paparazzi are dumber than you think, they'd rather Ha Han (Embrace KPOP) than to love their own, coz they can't get a piece of Mr. JAY CHOU.

 To answer that decade ago "Koyote" thing in Korea, well, Jay said that the dance has been existing the past hundred years, deal with it!

FYI to those who just read the translated news article from reporters, scanned newspapers and a bunch of entertainment and stupid sina links and stuff, here's the whole statement.

Translation and full clip (2 clips) of Jay's statement which never mentioned BOYCOTT.  After he cleared his statement, another statement was hyped up regarding the Horseback Riding Dance.  I hope the Chinese paparazzi knew what they're doing.  They could've smacked their heads right into the pavement as they interviewed Jay. Ugh.

Jaychou responds to paparazzi with regards to the boycott of KPOP.
Jay: I didn't say boycott it, I was just saying that Mandopop should catch up with KPOP and Mandopop is still very diao, you can check out my speech back then, there should be a clip available... (Clip: http://t.cn/zjVDwvD)
(Indistinct question of reporter re: Gangnam Style)
Jay: Of course, this is really funny 'coz I was the one who did the [a similar] dance first and my PA was even dancing with me, then I started wondering why in every awarding ceremony, the opening song is "Gangnam Style". So I was telling myself what happened to the Chinese songs, I had a very weird feeling inside me. That's why I went up the stage and said those things, Mandopop should really pick up the pace.
(Indistinct question of reporter re: Horseback Riding Dance)
Jay: Horseback Riding Dance? Well, when I sang "Cowboy on the Run" I already had a similar dance to that and the Cowboy on the Run style has been existing for the past hundred years and you [reporter] don't need to reply to that, next please...

Here's my opinion:
Jay Chou has been doing big in Asia, even KPOP bands adore him.  Let me tell you why he's being treated like that by the Chinese speaking paparazzi... It's because they can't get enough of him and knew his value even if they caught just a toenail of him on frontpage.  He has not been in good terms with any paparazzi due to abusive stalking and now they're getting back at him by putting words into his mouth.  It is Jay's right to promote his songs, it is Jay's right to be pro-Mandopop, it is Jay's right to encourage people if he wants to.  What is wrong with that and why does everything needed to be negative? Jay is putting up his face to make the Chinese be more proud of their culture, their language and their songs.  Instead, they make up these stories and these stories get translated to English and now, Korean channels can't stop reposting these news articles gaining more attention from non-Chinese speaking individuals.  That includes the great USA and of course Philippines. ugh. Frustrated.
