JYJ’s Heartfelt Message to Japanese Fans

Written Message:

From JYJ

Hello. This is JYJ.

We are not sure how to begin.

Due to an unexpected disaster, many in Japan are deep in sorrow and fear, and we know that among them are our dear fans, and our hearts very much ache. We pray for those people who passed away due to the earthquake on Friday and for the safety of those who are still missing.

We were moved by Japan’s calm response in the face of the terror of the disaster. We believe that the current disaster is not only the sadness of Japan but of all humankind. If we all have hope and courage, we believe that the clouds will soon disappear and the sun will shine again.

On the day of the earthquake, being in Tokyo, we were extremely shocked. Therefore, we are worried about the safety of the missing Japanese people and the Korean-Japanese. We are checking the bulletins of the press and are keeping watch (in trepidation). Please take heart despite the hardship. We, JYJ, are with you. We want to add to your strength.

We hope to meet with the Japanese fans soon. We wish to meet you all. And, we love you.

JYJ Kim Junsu, “About Park Yoochun’s Girlfriend Seolinja, I sympathize…”

JYJ Kim Junsu finally took comments about Park Yoochun’s very own girlfriend.

During JYJ’s first fan meeting held in Jamsil Gymnasium, Seoul on March 12th at 15:00, Kim Junsu attracted audiences’ attention by talking about his fellow Park Yoochun’s girlfriend named Seolinja whom he’s been so boastful about.

Seolinja was a snowman Park Yoochun made by himself and promoted as his girlfriend through a post at his personal twitter, the snowman has been a famous fictional character among fans ever since, as Seolinja even made 1st most searched word in internet back then.

Towards this matter Kim Junsu said, “He (Park Yoochun) has come to the point where he even made his own girlfriend like that, I thought it’s really pathetic and I feel sorry for him.” and “Even the size of the snowman is nothing close to size of human, just the size of fist, it’s even more regrettable,” drawing audiences’ laughter.

Furthermore he blurted, “To have a thought of making own girlfriend… as lonely as he could be, I never know someone could really think to do such thing.” Park Yoochun’s cheeks got even redder to this tease on him.

Meanwhile, thousands of fans flocked JYJ first fan meeting on March 12th. The event consists many interesting corners such as ‘Ideal Fans World Cup’, ‘Chamchamcham’, and ‘Talk time with the guests’ which successfully entertained all attendees.

JYJ Successfully Completes their First Official Fan Meeting

On March 12th, JYJ completed their first official fan meeting with 7,000 fans. It marked their first meeting in four months since their concert last November.

With gagman Kim Bum Yong as the MC, the 3-hour long fan meeting featured a total of seven performances, which included Empty,” “Be My Girl,” “Found You,” “Mission,” and “Nine.”

Junsu stated, “I worried a lot over whether I would be able to attend our fan meeting today, but I’m glad that we were able to hold it safely. The situation with the earthquake in Japan is severe.  We will be praying for the safety of our fans in Japan.”

Since the fan meeting was divided into two parts, the second half saw guest appearances from Shin Young Sook, Cool’s Kim Sung Soo, and Yoochun’s younger brother, Park Yoohwan.

Kim Sung Soo turned to praise Jaejoong by commenting, “I haven’t known Jaejoong for that long, but his soul is very pure.” Park Yoohwan continued the string of compliments by choosing Jaejoong when he was asked to name a member he’d like to resemble the most.

A special event was also held during the fan-meeting, in which 16 fan replies were chosen for a world cup competition; the members would narrow down their choice for the best message until they ended up with one. The fan reply that was ultimately chosen was, “I’m a fan that just believes and trusts.”

JYJ commented, “We’d like for our fans to always believe in us and wait.  We’ll be working hard in order to repay that trust.” 

During their performance of “Found You,” balloons were strewn over the concert hall and later popped to sprinkle marshmallow candies over the fans in celebration of the ‘White Day’ holiday. As it was a touching moment, JYJ and their fans cried together.

CJES Entertainment concluded, “Because of everyone who worried and gave their support, Kim Junsu was able to return safely and keep his promise to his fans. We hope that this fan meeting will forever remain as an unforgettable ‘White Day.’”

110314 ‘Musical Idols’ High Ticket Power, “Not Bad” Acting Skills

(top to bottom: Acting, Singing, Marketability, Growth Potential–Junsu is placed 1st for whole categories)

 

Idol craze has grown stronger in musical industry. These idols usually have strong ticket power as shown by Kim Junsu who sold out all tickets of his musical starring ‘Tears of Heaven’. There are more than 20 names of idols that have ventured into musical industry.

However, as they’ve been under gazes of many musical critics, most performances of these idol turn musical actors were not highly praised. There’s been debate of the fact that despite the unproven acting skill, these idols still get many notable roles. Therefore since the 28th last month to March 13th, Kukinews held a survey to 11 musical critics and producers to assess the skills of ‘musical idol’. The positions will be decided through 4 categories: acting, singing, marketability, and growth potential where for each category there will be 2 chosen names, at which the first rank will be graded with 3 points and the second rank gets 2 points.

Idols who are chosen in skill category are Kim Junsu, ONew, Kyuhyun, Taeyeon, and J (sorted based on ranks). Yet some respondents said, “None of them has the skill that can be evaluated,” and returning a blank paper.

Kim Junsu who swapped 1st in all areas, received particularly good marks on marketability and singing ability. ChungKang Culture Industry University Professor Jin Jeong-hoon said, “Kim Junsu has proved himself as a musical star through his role in ‘Mozart!’ and ‘Tears of Heaven’” However, “His vocal range is limited so traditional classic works will be difficult for him.” The professor further pointed out, “His vocalization is also peculiar and he lacks in ability to communicate the lyrics.”

Regarding Kim Junsu’s acting skill, Dankook University Professor Yunho-jin commented, “While there are still few lacking in some parts, but his ability to instinctively grasp the stage is remarkable,”

Kim Junsu got the vote of 6 people as an idol who shows potential to become next musical idol star. Seoul College of Arts Professor Wangyongbeom said, “He seems to have potential to be loved by public in the future as shown by the sold out performances of ‘Mozart!’ and ‘Tears of Heaven’. But he has assignment now to choose another good musical work hereafter.”

A musical producer who asked to remain anonymous, “The growth of potential depends on practice. Eventhough he/she is an idol singing star, but if he/she’s failed to practice in musical basis, it would be the beginning of a cloudy performances of him/her. But the main problem of these idols are, they have their main work to focus on as well (that cause the lack of musical-base practice),”

‘Musical idol’ is undoubtedly contributing positively to the popularity of musical. This fact shown on the increase of foreign tourists from Japan, China, and more to attend musical performances.

Fans of these idols are claimed to be the source of this musical idol’s ‘ticket power’. Kim Junsu, for instance, sold out the whole of his 17 performances (26,000 seats), while ‘Legally Blonde’ starring SNSD Jessica and ‘Song of The Sun’ starring fellow member Taeyeon all at least become a break even. Therefore although their title is still a ‘rookie’, these musical idols receive at least 1.5 times higher fee than those musical veterans.

ChungKang Culture Industry University Professor Yuri said, “Sometimes musical performance appointed idols to star on their works merely to grab more and more audiences without any consideration to create a high level and good taste performances, this could dropped the quality of musical in the long term that leads to the loss of audiences at the end.”

110311 JYJ Rejected ‘Radio Paradise’ Appearance Controversy “We Don’t Intentionally Avoid the Appearance”

JYJ’s rejection to appearance request on KBS Cool FM ‘Yoo Hee Yeol’s Radio Paradise’ sparks another public controversies.

On March 9th at dawn ‘Radio Heaven’ PD held a TVXQ & JYJ special airing during the radio’s program ‘Midnight Restaurant’. Yoon Sang-hyun PD said, “These days some people keep talking about TVXQ which builds JYJ fans while the opposite party also claim that it’s JYJ who builds TVXQ fans, there was a strange atmosphere exists. Therefore on today’s ‘Midnight Restaurant’ let’s decorate the show by listening alternately to the songs between the two teams TVXQ and JYJ.”

During the broadcast Yoon Sang-hyun PD revealed, “‘Radio Heaven’ has made phonecalls with JYJ manager a few times to talk about broadcast instructions for regular appearance, yet in the end they couldn’t make it.” arousing the curiosity of JYJ’s fans.

Currently JYJ is not in the situation where they can have group activities broadcast smoothly. Earlier this year JYJ was dipped into another controversy when their scheduled reality show program that was about to air in cable channel QTV was put to a halt. Considering such situation, the act of JYJ’s party to reject appearance in a popular radio program has been drawing a lot of attention.

JYJ representative explained to Newsen via phonecall, “At this point, I really don’t understand why this appearance request story got distorted, but we never avoid this appearance request intentionally. Whether or not an artist are able to appear on a show, there should be many various reasons behind, while when an artist are unable to attend despite being requested, it’s just an usual situation.”

“JYJ is craving for broadcast appearances and highly desires for chances to have broadcast activities. However, at these times starting from January the members have been committed in frequent overseas activities, for example Kim Junsu with his musical activities schedule, thus it’s impossible for them to make the appearance.” he said, “There seems to be a misunderstanding during the communication process. If the program fits the group’s images and schedule, we will be willing to appear at anytime.”

Brian Displayed Extreme Concern for JYJ’s Junsu After Japan’s Earthquake

After Japan experienced a severe earthquake and tsunami, many fans have been worried about the safety of Korean celebrities who are currently visiting the island nation.

Brian, a former Fly to the Sky member, expressed his worry through his Twitter account. He tweeted, “I called Xiah Junsu over 10 times right now, but I’m worried because I can’t get in contact with him. I keep tearing up.” He later tweeted at the JYJ members, “@0101xiahtic @mjjeje @6002theMicky Are you guys okay? I tried to call Junsu, but I’m so worried because the phones aren’t working…”

Junsu’s representative revealed that he had conversed with Junsu by phone, stating, “Kim Junsu is safe. He is currently waiting for a flight back to Korea at the airport. I think Brian posted the message because 

Junsu is currently unable to get phone connection in Japan.”

In the end, Brian was able to eventually get in contact with Junsu. He updated his Twitter with, “Finally got a text back from Junsu… He said he’s OK… Not a fan of the news, need to hear from the person themselves to be sure 100%.”

JYJ’s Junsu will return to Korea, fan meeting to proceed as planned

It was recently reported that a 8.9 magnitude earthquake shook Japan, causing a lot of destruction throughout the country which shut down almost all of the communication systems.

JYJ’s Junsu was one of the idols still residing in Japan, and a few hours ago he was able to tweet, “I have never ever felt this…today I felt major tremors” and “More than anything, I have to go tomorrow…Well, I’m not sure if I can get on a plane.”

However, C-JES Entertainment assured fans of the idol’s healthy condition and news about JYJ’s upcoming fan meeting by stating,

“We’re receiving a great amount of concern regarding JYJ member Junsu’s Japan schedule. Kim Junsu is currently safely waiting for the airport to open and is trying his best to attend the fan meeting. We are trying our best to let the staff in Japan allow for Junsu to enter Korea safe and sound.

We plan to cancel the fan meeting if Junsu cannot return to Korea. With regards to a cancellation, we will reveal it tomorrow based on the situation around 12PM noon. The staff has already completed the rehearsal and all preparations for the performance, so we will be following the situation closely.

If the plane has departed by 12PM noon tomorrow, we will continue by delaying the performance portion by 1 hour, and will proceed as previously planned. If that is not possible, we will give a refund and will have to reassess on what to do regarding the performance.
We’re so sorry for the sudden cause of worry to fans due to the occurrence of this terrible natural disaster.”

The company then released a second statement which reads,

“To all the fans whom are participating in the fan meeting: the JYJ fan meeting will proceed to take place on March 12th at 3pm without any disruptions.

When Kim Junsu boards the plane tonight, he will return to Korea and will immediately rest, in order to actively participate in the fan meeting tomorrow. We discussed this with Junsu, and have decided that the fan meeting will take place as planned.

Regarding the onsite ticket sales that we announced at around 6 initially, due to the fact that the cancellation of tickets did not take place today, we have decided that we will not sell JYJ fan meeting tickets onsite tomorrow.

Thank you.”

110309 JYJ fans counter group’s suspension with website launch

The group is one of many engaged in a battle with management over controversial exclusive contracts

» Internet broadcasting station ilovejyj.com’s website, above, and a Seoul City subway station advertisement in support of JYJ.

By Lim Ji-sun

The Internet broadcasting site “ilovejyj.com” went into operation on Mar. 3. At 8 p.m. that evening, the time of its inaugural broadcast, the server went down, flooded by Internet user connections. Fans of the trio JYJ had come storming in to watch. The inaugural broadcast ended up being pushed back a day, with additional special inaugural broadcasts held on Mar. 5 and 6.

The site began service through the concerted efforts of fans lamenting the fact that JYJ has been unable to appear on terrestrial television networks. Funding and staffing for the site’s inauguration consisted purely of donations by fans. Some seventy fans, including 13 production team members, three video team members, seven web page production staff members, three sound team members, and seven Chinese and Japanese translators, lent their talents for the production.

JYJ is a team formed by Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu, three members of the group TVXQ. In July 2009, the three of them filed a lawsuit to annul their exclusive contract with SM Entertainment. In the process, they publicly disclosed unfair provisions in the contract, including a 13-year term of service and revenue sharing of 0.4 to 1 percent of record sales. In October 2010, they released their first album, “The Beginning.”

Fans, however, were unable to see their faces on terrestrial networks. Yoochun enjoyed skyrocketing popularity last year with his starring role on the KBS miniseries “Sungkyunkwan Scandal,” but was shunned by music video networks and entertainment programs.

An entertainment show producer at one terrestrial network admitted, “Entertainment show producers will not even consider talking to JYJ out of fear that it will spoil their relationship with the big entertainment management agencies.”

On Feb. 21, the 51st civil agreements division of Seoul Central District Court, under Judge Kim Dae-ung, delivered an indirect compulsory performance order ruling that SM Entertainment “is not to disrupt the entertainment activities of JYJ” and that “if it violates this [ruling] it must pay 20 million Won for each violation.”

The situation did not change. A cable network also abruptly canceled its plans for the “JYJ Reality Program,” which was to begin airing in mid-February.

In response, fans took it upon themselves to set up the Internet network, but running it has not been easy.

JYJ’s public relations official said, “The Internet site was made by fans, so there has been formal discussion on whether JYJ will appear.”

When a video featuring Grand National Party Lawmaker Chun Yu-ok offering her congratulations for the site’s inauguration went up on Mar. 5, fans objected strenuously, arguing that the broadcast “harms JYJ’s image.” As of Tuesday, the site’s managers had temporarily suspended broadcasting, leaving an apology for the content of the broadcast.

Meanwhile, calls from fans for JYJ’s appearance on terrestrial television have increased by the day. On Feb. 28, 86,418 overseas fans of the group submitted a petition to Seoul Central District Court demanding a guarantee that JYJ would be able to appear on television. On Monday, the “League of JYJ Fans” began posting advertisements in 21 Seoul subway stations, including Apgujeong and Hongik University Stations, bearing copy such as “JYJ, We Support Your Youth” and “Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun, and Kim Junsu, Take the Express Train to Public Broadcasting.”

JYJ’s Fanmade Internet Broadcasting Station Shuts Down After Four Days

The internet broadcasting station established by JYJ’s fans has shut down, four days after its launch. 

The opening of ‘ilovejyj.com‘ brought in an influx of visitors that crashed its servers. The admins decided to push back its official launch to March 4th, but when fans flocked to view the new site, discord began running through all corners of the fanbase.

Fans discovered that pictures, videos, and other content were used without notice or permission. In addition, the admins had attempted to request fan meeting tickets from JYJ’s agency, which brought up complaints about how the admins were arrogantly dictating the direction of the station.

Further issues arose when the station released an interview of a female politician who was discovered to have had no relation or association to member Park Yoochun. Although admins announced an apology and clarification shortly after, fans continued to criticize the station once they found that the admins were “speaking low of member Kim Junsu” in the following broadcast, which eventually led fans to demand that the station be shut down.

On March 8th, the admins posted the following message:

“We would like to apologize for disturbing the fandom, and as of today, this internet broadcasting station will be closed. The staff members, who are currently working to close it down, are all worried about what negative effects this will have on JYJ. We felt that this short term broadcasting station caused bigger confusion every time our content or broadcasts were reported to the public.

Under the belief that no one would trust the remaining staff members anymore, we mutually decided to close the station.

We would like to express our genuine apologies towards JYJ and their families, their agents, and associates. Everyone watched over our intentions with positive views, and we are thankful and apologetic for the help and support we have been given.”

A representative of the station added, “Due to my carelessness, I have wounded JYJ, their families, and all of their associates who agreed to an interview with us. For that, I would like to bow my head in apology. Our internet broadcasting station will be closing because of my carelessness. For a hundred times over, I would like to apologize.”

JYJ’s Internet Broadcast Station’s Representative Apologizes and Takes Responsibility

In the midst of the sudden closing of the internet broadcasting station made by JYJ’s fans, a netizen who worked as the representative posted an apology.

At the front of the internet broadcast station’s cafe, the individual started off by writing, “I apologize for keeping you waiting for such a long time. I’m Helena, the former representative for the internet broadcast station.” 

She continued, “Because of me, JYJ, their family, interviewers, and fans were hurt. For this, I bow my head and give my deepest apologies. I am especially sorry to the parents of the three members, so today, I first went to go see Jaejoong’s parents to deliver my apology. As soon as I get in contact with the parents of the other two members, I will go to apologize directly.” 

Helena, who saw the closing of the station as her fault, stated, “To those who became members and to the hardworking staff, I am very sorry and thankful. Also, to everyone who stood by with interest and affection and, although bitter, even to those who denounced us… I sincerely thank you.”

110306 JYJ Staff Member’s Blog Post Part 4

Having a strong sense of responsibiity, Leader Jaejoong 

I uploaded a post with this title yesterday…but then I removed it (as you may already know) I was in Yokohama at that time and I reacted to a comment to my post…and without thinking I deleted it on my iPhone.

The reason for this is not due to any attack from antis but actually a comment from a JYJ fan.

Readers told me not to take it to heart…but these fans love JYJ too..so I didn’t want to ignore this comment…because for JYJ their fans are precious…

So then I asked myself, “Aren’t I getting too cocky, writing this kind of stuff…” Didn’t I write this to tell the fans how the three members are walking forward towards their future?…Didn’t I write this to give happiness and hope to the fans? So what’s the need of me to keep doing this?! Have I become the Messiah or something??? ….Why did I get arrogant….this I asked myself.

So what was the comment I reacted to?…It was just this one comment.

“It’s all only about Jaejoong,huh…”

Gaann!!!! (T/N: sound of surpise/shock)

No matter how trivial, fans want to know every move of the boys….I hadn’t been answering to these feelings at all…My idea had backfired… “Hey, what about stories about Yoochun?…What about Junsu?”…is it all finished?…Fans might be questioning like that right?….Sad faces of girls float in front of my eyes…I’m sorry…for not being able to answer to these feelings…

And there were also comments telling me to stop selling information

It was painful…I pondered over it for a day.

Also if I apologize, worry will be the result…I don’t have any more stories so I will finish it here.

But still there will yet countless other fans reading this…and others who commented too (the comment that led me to delete this post seems to have been erased. But I read all of it so I’m really sorry)
But…I want to post one more time, is that okay?
The post that I impulsively erased, there are still other fans that want to read it…I can’t ignore that either…
There might be objections this time too but…there will come a time when I will write about Yoochun and Junsu too so please be patient.

Here is the story. I tried to reproduce it from my memory as best as I could.

So one day
I was heading over to the site.
Suddenly, I was asked to interview Jaejoong…as I was heading there on the car I was asked to ask this and that which I put as memos on my iPhone.

When I arrived at the site, there was a lot of staff everywhere. Maybe it was because I was a bit nervous but I didn’t realize at first when Jaejoong was calling my name from faraway.
I sat down facing him.
It was a little bit odd…Everyone was watching….and either way it was a bit awkward…
Just when I was going to say, “Let’s relax a little bit,” Jaejoong jokingly said let’s relaaaxx~~.
So in turn he was the one that stopped being nervous (shameful of me T/N: because he was the one interviewing Jaejoong) and asked him various questions.

Their theme was going to be Tokyo so I asked questions regarding Tokyo..we branched off into other topics from there too.
For example things like, when you cook something for Yoochun what do you usually cook? And for Junsu? In the end I asked him quite a lot of things in detail.
After finishing with the last question, we stood up, shook hands then hugged. With him, he will definitely always give a hug.
He promptly lets you know his feelings. It’s amazing right? He has this attitude of caring so much about every detail.
But I still got the feeling there was something he wasn’t telling me…

Shortly after it came out, I had been right.
“People from various countries are going to be seeing this right? I know they now know that Tokyo is the theme but doesn’t this seem a bit too Japanese biased?..I want to leave a message for the other fans too!” Jaejoong said.

Amazing. He had been thinking about this to such an extent.
The things we had already talked about were good enough but I wanted to respond to his feelings.
“Do you want to take it again?” I asked.
So then we sat back down and this time, talked more about his thoughts regarding other countries.
This time he seemed satisfied.
Without hesitation, I think he was very pleased to have been able to take it again.
Jaejoong, he really has comprehended what he has to do.

He knows exactly what he wants to say the fans. That’s why he hadn’t felt satisfied at first…
This is the strength of their sense of responsibility.
What he’s looking after is a huge responsibility, but he really is strong in pulling together JYJ. And he also has strongly put his trust in Junsu and Yoochun.

If you think about it he’s kind of like the character An-Chan from the drama “Hitotsu Yane no Shita” (T/N: Means Under One Roof) *laugh*
Is it only me that thinks this way?

JYJ Fans Kick Off Their Subway Advertisement Campaign

JYJ’s latest fan-created ads are firing up the internet.

On March 7th, a netizen uploaded 4 pictures of the ads that were placed in Seoul’s Sinchon and Hongdae University stations.

The ads focused on the figures of Junsu, Yoochun, and Jaejoong, and it proudly declared, ”JYJ, we support your youth“. The ad in Hongdae University station specifically says, “Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun, Kim Junsu, ride on the public TV express train“.

The ads were created by JYJ’s fanclub, and beginning on March 7th, they can be found in the districts of Sunreung, Jamshil, Shinchon, Hongdae, Gundae, Kangbyun, Apgujung, Chungmuro, and 3rd Jongno. In addition, the fanclub has arranged to place 21 different screen door advertisements at subway stations.

Approximately $160,000 USD were raised for these ads, and the fanclub invested some of that into their initial ad campaign for the boys back in late January, when they put up posters on 120 buses all over Korea. The message from that month-long campaign also read, “We support your youth“.
