110713 Kim Jaejoong, Immersed In The Role Of The “Director”

Having their two month long world tour end, JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong has found the appeal of the role of a director. He conveyed his impressions of the world tour and when asked to describe it in one word, he stated that it was “very fun”.

Kim Jaejoong stated proudly that, “After the end of the tour, I was praised by the company, my members, and by the staff. There were a number of songs that I myself composed just for this tour, and I was also the director of the concerts in Asia. And it was this kind of concert that was also performed in America. There were various difficulties and troubles, but to have accomplished such a big tour without having to ask for help from elsewhere was very satisfying.”

Through this recent world tour, Kim Jaejoong debuted as a director. When asked to choose between artist and director he laughed and said, “During the actual performance, I think it’s better to be the artist.” He further stated that, “Directors are really amazing, and I want to educate myself more about directing dramas. Being a director is about overcoming all the complications in order to shoot as how you desire. But in the end, a drama is a drama and a performance is a performance, and either of these have their own appeal.”

One of the most memorable moments for Kim Jaejoong with this world tour was their performance in Bangkok. Kim Jaejoong stated that, “I wanted to direct the first concert no matter what. The reaction from the fans was really good too so I was very touched.”

“Director Kim Jaejoong” also said that he had a desire to direct concerts and performances of other artists. He stated that, “I have an interest in directing performances for other artists similar to us. I once talked with my close friend Kim Hyunjoong about working on a album with our own style, and to do activities together but Kim Hyunjoong said that he was too greedy about his own music and would end up directing everything himself”, Jaejoong said laughing.

Also, while directing the gymnastics exhibition for Son Yon Jae, Kim Jaejoong reflected on how that experience had been extraordinary and enjoyable. “Son Yon Jae’s presentation showed that she understand more than what I understood I had to direct.”

He added, “I think if you truly play the part of the director and take it seriously, it would be a very interesting and an attractive area of work. Of course, right now I’m still taking small steps and learning, but I feel like my point of view in seeing the whole of a concert has gotten bigger, wider. During concert rehearsals, there were moments when I felt I wasn’t an artist standing on a stage, but I was behind the audience and directing, and that I myself was fulfilling a contribution to my team,” he concluded proudly.

Meanwhile, the “singer Kim Jaejoong” commented on their upcoming Korean album as “currently under preparation”. “I want to release it as soon as all the good music comes out but I wonder if it will be possible this year. We are currently even between different activities,” he added, not giving a definite answer.

Also in regards to whether he will be taking part in the OST of “Protect the Boss”, he said that there were still no such plans. He stated that, “At the moment there are no compositions that I could use for this drama, and it’s also difficult to join in so soon. But if such a proposal comes I will accept in order to support the drama.” He ended with this lingering statement, amplifying the expectations of the fans.

Manager: As I watch this gymnastics gala show, I am infinitely moved by the person named Kim Jaejoong who is participating in its directing. The person who succeeds no matter what he does– he does so not (simply) because God draws a stroke in favor of him but rather (also) due to his own effort and passion. His sense of responsibility which leads him to check the gala show every single day meticulously is incredible, and his passion is also incredible. Wow… I will also not complain of lack of sleep and do my best.

Why did idol JYJ become “Sports-dol”?

It’s beyond “Sports Idol.” One member is personally doing hat tricks as a soccer player running across the field, and another member is working as the director of a rhythmic gymnastic gala show. It’s an enthusiastic action beyond the level of hobby or appearance as a friend. Idol group JYJ from DBSK’s active crossover into sports is catching people’s attention.

JYJ’s Cross-over into Sports

JYJ is participating as a member of Park Jisung’s charity soccer Asian Dream Cup, which will be held on June 15th at Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. After participating as a coaching staff in boyhood clinic on the 14th, they are scheduled to perform on 15th, the day of the game, at half-time. Being passionate soccer-lovers and fans of Park Jisung, JYJ themselves volunteered for participation despite their busy world tour schedule.

Furthermore, JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong recently transformed into the director for Sohn Yeonjae’s rhythmic gymnastics gala show. Kim Jaejoong, who showed off  his touch as the overall director for JYJ’s Asia Tour, is participating as the director of ‘LG Whisen Rhythmic All Stars 2011′ which will be held on June 11~12th at the special stage in Hwajung Gymnastics of Korea University. It’s become known that he is involved in directing all parts [of the performance], including music selection and arrangement, stage effects, choreography, and costume styling. He is showing great passion for his new job as a director, personally watching various rhythmic gymnastics videos to separately learn about the sport and thinking about ways to combine popular appeal with artistic expression. Because Son Yeonjae returned on the 17th after completing her appearance in the World Cup series for three years straight and JYJ is currently in Canada for the North American Tour which begins on the 20th, the director and the athlete have not yet met. Kim Jaejoong and Son Yeonjae is exchanging opinions for the best performance through JYJ’s choreography team leader’s e-mail. 

Why did JYJ become a Sports-Idol?

What’s the reason for idol JYJ’s such active participation in the area of sports such as soccer and rhythmic gymnastics? It’s first because all members are passionate sports fans. JYJ’s Kim Junsu and Park Yuchun are athletes in Suwon Samsung Blue Swing’s fifth club FC MEN. FC MEN’s captain Kim Junsu, especially, has skills as good as those of an actual soccer player. In fact, it’s as good as him being able to record a hat trick during his opening match with Incheon Design Women’s Soccer Team. JYJ’s participation in Park Jisung’s charity soccer event is also because of their endless love for soccer. Of course, JYJ’s great popularity in Vietnam and other Asian areas probably had a positive affect on the organizer’s strategy for success. 

Meanwhile, while seemingly having nothing connecting him with rhythmic gymnastics, the reason for JYJ Kim Jaejoong’s association with Son Yeonjae is the following. The agency in charge of advertising idol group JYJ and Son Yeonjae’s gala show is the same. During the process of obtaining consultation regarding the directing of Son Yeonjae’s gala show, Kim Jaejoong naturally became a participant. Kim Jaejoong, who has been greatly interested in stage directing, showed interest in the project, and great interest was created in a relatively lesser-known rhythmic gymnastics gala show with the news of idol star Jaejoong’s participation.

Recently, JYJ’s appearance in KBS’s music program ‘Music Bank’ was blocked because of their lawsuit with DBSK’s management company. Afterward, KBS did turn their position around, stating “[they] can appear whenever they release a new song,” but a lawsuit with a major management company can only act as a burden until the final decision is made by the courts. As shown through TV programs such as “Start Dream Team” (KBS) and “Idol Start Track and Field”(MBC), the image of “sports idol” helps greatly with popularity. Having been forced to quarrel with the broadcasting companies, JYJ has chosen a smart detour with meeting fans directly through the world tour, meeting them in different ways through dramas and musicals, and meeting them in new ways through sports.
