How to Find JYJ’s new Official Line (Step-By-Step Guide w/Pictures) – UPDATED 2016

A long time ago, I posted an article about how to add JYJ’s official line.  However, the program has changed a lot since 2013, and I have now (2016) updated this article here. 🙂

Line is a kind of messenger system, like Skype only it’s based out of South Korea. It’s like Twitter or FB for the US or like Weixin/QQ for China. You’ll find pictures, chat message, phone services, and you can join in on live chats as well.

HOW TO FIND JYJ’s OFFICIAL LINE

On Your Computer:

1. On the Computer, sign in to the Line app. 

2. On the Blue/Grey Tool bar, Pick the Person with a “+” symbol for “Adding Friends”

3. Where it says “Official Accounts” click “See All”

4. Each country has different Official Accounts. For example, China will have JYJ(CN) and Japan has JYJ(JP).  It might be in your country automatically or it might not. For example, I live in China so it gave me a list of China Official Accounts, but I don’t speak Chinese 😛  To change the country, go to the bottom of the screen shown above and click “Select Another Country.” For JYJ(EN) – JYJ English- go to “Philippines.” It won’t be on the US page, I don’t know why. 😦  For Chinese, go to China. For Japanese, go to Japan. For Korea, go to Korea. For English, go to Philippines. This is true for most apps. 🙂

4. Official Accounts are divided into clusters like “Entertainment,” “Shopping” – – – Go down to “Artists” and search through the names until you find JYJ(EN) (or whatever account you want). Click their name. You can see here that I was adding the Chinese version, but the English version will look the same on your screen just with English words.

5. Now Click the person with a + symbol to add their account! 

6. If you Click the Voice Bubble with three dots (. . .) it’ll take you to their page! Now they have been added and you can start fan-girling or fan-guying out over JYJ 🙂 From now on, you can open Line, click the two people symbol on the grey toolbar for  your list of friends and check out JYJ.

7. It takes about a day for anything to upload past their welcome message.  They’ll show up as your friends on the mobile version as well once it is installed, and the same process applies: go to friends, click their name, and click chat.

For Your Phone

To be honest, the phone system sucks right now for me. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to change countries on this thing. But I think that might just be for me using it in China on a Chinese phone. If you figure it out, let me know. 

Otherwise the process is pretty much the same.

1. Sign into Line.
2. On the toolbar at the top, click the three dots “. . . “
3. Click “Official Accounts”
4. If it’s there for you, go to the bottom to “Select Another Country”.
5. Pick your country – Philippines
6. Go through the list until you find JYJ(EN) or at the top just search for JYJ.
7. Click their Name.
8. Click the person with a “+” symbol.
9. Click Chat and go rock out with JYJ!

Hope this helps answer some questions!

How to Install Line Step-By-Step (Updated 2016)

Line is a kind of messenger system, like Skype only it’s based out of South Korea.  It’s kind of a weird cross between Twitter, Tumblr, and Skype really, you’ll find pictures, chat message, phone services, and you can join in on live chats as well. Anyway, a bunch of people have been looking for directions on installation, so here you go!

GETTING “LINE” DOWNLOADED INITIALLY

You can try just searching for “Line” in your smartphone app store or by visiting their website (https://line.me/en/download). On your smartphone, it’s usually the first or second result and is a green button that says “Line.”  You can now set Line up on just a computer. You do NOT need to have a smartphone account to set it up. 

*Note that the website link has changed from my old posting. Their new address is https://line.me/en/download.

PLEASE NOTE! IF YOU DOWNLOAD LINE ON YOUR COMPUTER, THEN PUTTING IT ON YOUR PHONE WILL DELETE YOUR COMPUTER ACCOUNT AND ALL ITS MESSAGES. THIS IS NOT TRUE THE OTHER WAY. HOWEVER, TO LOG INTO YOUR COMPUTER AFTER YOU PUT IT ON YOUR PHONE, YOU MUST ENTER A VERIFICATION # ON YOUR PHONE. SO BEST TO PICK ONE MACHINE FOR LINE AND THEN STICK WITH IT. DON’T GO BACK AND FORTH!

To Download It on Your Computer:

1. Visit the website: https://line.me/en/download

2. Choose your PC system – MAC OS, Windows or Windows 8/10. I don’t use Apple, so I tried it with both the Windows and Windows 8/10 systems.  

Windows opens up a download file. Download it, open it when it’s finished and follow the instructions for installing it. 

Windows 8/10 opens up the Windows store. You install it through there, and it’ll open up to the “Sign-In” or “Sign-Up” page.

Both systems then go through the same Sign-Up Process:

3. Add your Phone Number. Hit “Next.” They will call you or text you quickly with a  a four number confirmation code. Put it in the new box and hit “Next.”

4. Now they will ask you to add a Password. Hit “Next.”

5. Give them your email address.  Go on. They will email you with another confirmation code to that email. Go to your email and get the code. Put it in the box on the “Sign-Up” Page.

6. Voila! You should have your Line account started on your computer 🙂 It looks like this now:

To Download It on Your Phone:

1. Visit the website: https://line.me/en/download. Or go to your phone’s store and search for “Line.” It should be a green box with a speech bubble and line inside:

2. Download the app and install it on your phone. 

3. The “Sign-Up” system will be the same as it was with your computer.  

4. Put in your Phone Number. They’ll call you with a confirmation code.

5. Put in a password. 

6. Put in your Email Address. They’ll email you with another confirmation code.

7.  It’s ready to go!!

How to Install Line (A step-by-step guide)

This is the old website. UPDATED INSTRUCTIONS 2016 ARE AVAILABLE HERE!

Line is a kind of messenger system, like Skype only it’s not based out of the U.S.  It’s kind of a weird cross between Twitter, Tumblr, and Skype really, you’ll find pictures, chat message, phone services, and you can join in on live chats as well. Anyway, a bunch of people have been looking for directions on installation, so here you go!

GETTING “LINE” DOWNLOADED INITIALLY

You can try just searching for “Line” in your smartphone app store.  It usually brings it up as the first or second result.  It’s a green button that says “Line.”  Just remember, you have to set it up on your smartphone/I-Pod before you can put it on your computer.  Line requires it.

1. Go to the official Line website at line.naver.jp/en/

• Click theGreen “Download” button.  You will have to set it up on your ipod/iphone/smart phone before you can install it on the computer.  I put it on my Ipod, so I went through the Iphone process.  I’m assuming it is similar for other mobiles.

• Click the Green button for your mobile choice.  It will take you to I-Tunes for Apple products and GooglePlay for Android products, ditto for the other app programs.  From now on I’ll approach it from the I-Tunes version.

• Once it locates “Line by NAVER Japan Corporation,” click the Blue “View in I-Tunes.”

• Off you go to I-tunes where you download it like any other app and transfer it over onto your I-Pod. I’ll upload a post soon on how to do this if you don’t know how. Open the Program on your Mobile Device.

This is what the app looks like

 

1. Now, you will have to enter in an email address and password (Keep these, you’ll need them to install it on your computer).  Then go through the other set up processes, this will include your profile fic, username, terms & conditions, and verification.  The Phone number should  be something you’ll get text messages on since they send you a passcode for human verification purposes.  Enter in the number from the text message when it asks.  Once it is installed, you’re good to go here.
2. To install it on your computer go back to the official Line website at line.naver.jp/en/
3. Click the Green “Download” button and pick your computer.  Download the file, enter your email address and password when it asks, and you are set!

BLACKBERRY DIRECTIONS

I haven’t tried this on a Blackberry, but I’ve been told by trusted sources that this is the process (It’s also the advised directions from LINE).

1. Tap More > Add Friends > Official to open the Official Accounts list.

2. Tap the Official Account you wish to add to your Friends list, and tap Add.

These directions can also be found here. 

Sending Photos to Official Naver Line Accounts

If you want to post a picture to an Official Line Account (like JYJ), the process is pretty simple but you need to do so from the computer version of Line, not the mobile version.  Right now, the mobile version says you cannot submit photos, but the online version will allow it. 

1. Go to the account you want to post on.

2. Click the “File” button with the disk picture next to it.

3. Add your picture.

4. Post. 

🙂  That’s seems like the easiest way to go about doing it!

How to Find JYJ’s new Official Line (A step-by-step guide)

UPDATE: 2016, I created a new “How to Find JYJ’s Official Line” post to account for changes to the Line Software. You can find the new directions here.

UPDATE: 2014 JYJ has changed their profile image to this:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

JYJ-Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu

Several other fans of the KPOP band JYJ have been asking me how I found their Official Line link, since most of the sites tell you it’s up but not how to locate it.  So I figured I would share the process.  Enjoy!

P.S. Line is a kind of messenger system, like Skype only it’s not based out of the U.S.  It’s kind of a weird cross between Twitter, Tumblr, and Skype really, you’ll find pictures, chat message, phone services, and you can join in on live chats as well.

P.P.S. You can find a version of this with pictures on the Super Junior Line Post.  It is the same process, just remember you’re looking for the JYJ pic, not the SJ pic 😛
