JJ Lin & BY2 Return Taiwan After 80-hours of Misery

After stranded in New York's JFK Airport for nearly 80 hours, JJ Lin and his juniors BY2 is finally back home.

The three held a concert in New York a few days ago and had to stay in the airport when a big snow storm hit the city on Monday. They and their crews were forced to spend their days in the VIP room at the airport. They could not shower, wash hair, and change their clothes (luggage were already checked). Because there are no bathrooms, everyone had to line out outside the restrooms to wash their hair using the sink. They need to dry their hair by pressing it with napkins. Besides sharing 1 toothbrush with 5 people, JJ even had to alternate the same underwear these 3 days. BY2 also faced a similar problem that member Miko wore the same sock the day they arrived at the airport.

Their misery is finally over when they got on the evening flight to Taiwan. Fans and colleagues went to the airport to greet the group. JJ got emotional and hugged everyone. Their first thought after getting off the plane? Go home immediately to take a shower!

Although he does not want this to happen, but producer of this drama Lee is prepared for cast changes: "I'm worried that it might affect my new drama. I've asked the Artiste Department and they told me will officially notify me if there's any changes. I'm quite helpless and I can't change their policy. They will give me an answer within these two days, but I'm prepared for it to happen."

Assistant director from the Artiste Management Department in BMA said they heard of the rumor but has yet received a reply from TVB.

The royalty fee dispute has been preventing HKRIA singers to appear in any TVB music programs and to be interviewed by TVB hosts. Although there was a turning point earlier, but now it is officially back to where it stands before. The dispute continues as TVB released a statement yesterday, saying they will not broadcast "Ultimate Song Chart Awards 2010" and "RTHK Top 10 Chinese Gold Songs Awards 2010."
