He is also one of the main casts in the Japanese television drama Hard To Say I Love You (Sunao ni Narenakute, 素直になれなくて) (Fuji TV, 2010) where he portrays Doctor, who moved from Korea to Japan with his younger sister, working for a medical equipment manufacturer. He won the best supporting actor award for it. (Honestly, If Jaejoong wasn't in this drama I would find it boring...)

Trivia:

• Jaejoong is adopted. His real name is Han Jae Jun (한재준)

  On November 21, 2006, a man with the surname Han filed a lawsuit against Hero's guardians. Han claimed he was Hero's biological father, and thus wanted parental rights. Han cited the reason for the lawsuit against Hero's legal guardians as "for not going through the proper procedures before registering Hero in the legal guardians' custody." He divorced Hero's biological mother in late 1980s, and gave up his custody over his child, leaving him under Mrs. Han's custody. However, he had found out some years ago Hero had been raised by a third party, not his biological mother. A DNA test was to be performed in order to prove validity of Han's claim. Many legal consultants comment that since the adoption had taken place correctly according to the corresponding law, no legal change will be involved regardless of the outcome. The first hearing was to be held in Hero's hometown, Gongju, on November 29, 2006. But on November 22, Han dropped the charges against Hero's legal guardians. Han said that he originally intended to resolve his biological son's military duty conflicts after being informed of dual citizenship by Ministry of Military Affairs, which involved verifying the fact that he is the biological father. He did not expect his intention to lead to such a scandal, and states that he was scarred by speculations that he wanted to take advantage of Hero's fame. In reaction to the matter, Hero uploaded a journal entry on his official fan club website, and said that he was informed of the existence of separate biological parents by his mother two or three years ago, and it had been quite a shock to him. With his current mother's support, his biological mother has been able to keep in touch with him, and to meet occasionally, but whereabouts of his father had been unknown. He vigorously expressed his will to live by the name of "Kim Jaejoong," not by his birth name Han Jaejoon , and promised to be loyal to all four of his parents. He also said he did not want his family history exposed to the public due to this incident. credits: wikipedia

• He loves spicy foods
• He likes to cook. All the members says his cooking is exceptional. One of his specialty is jiggae. Of course he always makes it spicy. I think he always carry his spicy sauce wherever he went.
• He has 8 older sisters (not his real sisters). He's the youngest and only son.
• His concept during debut is being "mysterious" so the company told him,

  "don't talk. Just sing."

  But Jaejoong has the talkative personality so now he talks a lot on shows and he gives funny comments once in a while which gave him the image of a funny guy.
• He's very straight-forward. He says whatever he wants to say and the other members worries a lot about cleaning up jaejoong's mess or about their secrets being revealed by Jaejoong.^^
• He acts like the mother of the group.
• He makes faces when sleeping. (Please see "Come to Play" to know what I mean)
• He wrote and composed 사랑아 울지마 (Saranga Uljima/Don't Cry My Lover) which is included in their forth Korean album MIROTIC, COLORS ~Melody and Harmony~ (with Micky Yoochun) which was used as the image song for Hello Kitty's thirty-fifth year anniversary, Kissしたまま、さよなら(,Kiss Shita Mama Sayonara/As We Kiss, Goodbye ) (with Micky Yoochun), Shelter (with Micky Yoochun and Xiah Junsu), 忘れないで (,Wasurenaide/Don't Forget) which is included on TVXQ's twenty-fifth single "Bolero/Kiss the Baby Sky/Wasurenaide" and later appeared on their fourth Japanese album The Secret Code, along with another song which he also composed, 9095
• He has the nicest body in TVXQ because his hobby is weight training but ever since he realized his face doesn't fit his body build he stopped working out. (I think it's perfectly fine to have a masculine body with a pretty face and since it's Jaejoong I think its totally SEXY and HOT!)
• On April 7, 2006 at 1:20 AM, he was pulled over in his father's friend's BMW by a police officer on his way home from the Renaissance Hotels. He was ordered to take a breath test and his level of alcohol was revealed to be 0.071%. After spending 20 minutes at the police station, he was released. Due to violating traffic laws, Hero was temporarily suspended from all TVXQ activities and had his license taken away for 100 days. (I believe it was the day he found out he was adopted.)
• He likes to drink. Micky said he went drinking with Jaejoong and HyunJoong(SS501) and he couldn't keep up with those two. Junsu said that once Jaejoong become drunk he becomes so adorable...^^,
• He cried a lot when one of his bestfriends, Park Yun Ha, died and he was in LA
• Gadget freak. He has lots of ipods and phones on his bag and when he was asked why he brings so much ipod he said that one ipod isn't enough because the pressure of having to charge the battery is just too much for him
  
• He likes girls with pretty hands and feet
• He likes taking weird photos and the other members are his usual subjects.
  
• He's a guy with a good fashion sense.I think he likes wearing boots because I usually see him wear them.
• His sports is badminton and he claims he's very good at it.
• When he was young his dream was to be a supermarket owner because he would be able to eat whatever he want.
• He's very poor in bowling.
• He's radiating with over-confidence but he always fails in the end. He seems to be very confident in almost everything. He uses words like saiko and tensai to describe himself. Also, in one tv program he claims he's the best in the world when it comes to rock-paper-scissors game but he loses from the very start. It was so funny and cute...^^
• In September 2005, while rehearsing the dance steps for "Rising Sun", Jaejoong ruptured his cartilage in his knee and was admitted to a hospital in Seoul. He underwent surgery on the same day to repair the tissue.
• Is interested in people's relationships and likes to love.
• Jaejoong's parents owns a restaurant in ChoongNam KwangJoo.
• In 2001 he moved to Seoul by himself and auditioned at SM Entertainment and was accepted into the agency. He was 15 at that time.
• Jaejoong also appeared in the movie Taegeukgi Hwinallimyeo (태극기 휘날리며) (2004) (waving the Korean flag) as an extra but its really difficult to find him in the movie. He appeared as one of the Chinese soliders.
• He took many part-time jobs from working in a convenience store, to delivering chicken, newspapers, and manual labor; there's nothing he hasn't done. He had to take various odd jobs to come up with the ₩150,000 needed for the rent. He used the money acquired from the job in the Taegeukgi movie to buy gum, which he sold to a female employee at a supermarket.
• Jaejoong's special talent is his husky voice, but the one thing he likes the most is his eyebrows.
