110531 JYJ’s LA Pre-Concert Fan Meetup Proves Group’s Success

The success and popularity of JYJ has once again proven itself, as seen in the number of fans that gathered before the group’s recent Los Angeles concert. The concert took place on Friday, May 27, and lasted from 8PM to 10PM at the Nokia Theatre.

A pre-concert fan meetup was originally planned by DBSK fansite DBSKnights, but was cancelled due to lack of space to accommodate the estimated 300+ attendees. Another DBSK fansite, fuckyeahtohoshinki, saved the meetup by moving it to Nokia Plaza. There, fans began to gather at 2PM, enthusiastically introducing themselves to each other.

As the hours passed, fans took pictures, made new friends, got hyped up for the concert, and even did flashmobs! A number of fansites also gave away bracelets, light sticks and signs for Cassies to use during the concert. A red ocean slowly formed as more fans trickled in while decked out in DBSK merchandise. By 7PM, the meetup had swelled to over 250 people.

According to the official Facebook event for JYJ’s concert, “JYJ’s concert tour will create an unimaginable experience and compelling atmosphere that fans from all over the world and of all ages can enjoy. Their fans will finally get a chance to witness JYJ’s grandeur debut in the U.S and Canada.”

Such a claim held true as fans from Hawaii, China and even England flew in to see the singers perform. Audience members ranged from teens to aunties, as well as a number of avid fanboys. Junsu’s father, JYJ’s friends John Egg, and previous MC of the JYJ showcase Shane Yoon also showed up to show their support. John Egg stopped by the meetup to take a few pictures, exciting the surprised fans.

Four aunties from four different nationalities (America, Taiwan, Japan and Korea) drew a great amount of attention as they showed off their DBSK pride. Lily, Ayumi, Christin and Lindsey had met at the Las Vegas and Los Angeles JYJ showcases, and become friends since then. They wore matching black boas to show their connection to one another.

They had discovered JYJ through websites like Youtube and Wikipedia. One of the ladies often visited a Korean drama recap site, where she discovered Yoochun’s “Sungkyunkwan Scandal.” She saw that “Yoochun and his group” was often referenced, so she googled DBSK and discovered a “huge amount of information” on them. Through Wikipedia, she read about the Mirotic lyrics controversy, which led her to YouTube, where she watched the Mirotic music video. At that point, she was sold.

When asked who their favorite member was, many replied, “Jaejoong!” with a familiar dreamy look on their face. But one aunty admitted that she liked Changmin because he is “good-looking and funny.”

Despite their older age, the women’s enthusiasm matched many of the younger fans there. Christen even confessed that she had gone to all three JYJ showcases and two JYJ concerts.

The four ladies showed their burning dedication with their message to JYJ. “Always Keep the Faith! We will fight for you. Don’t give up.”

Are you impressed by the amount of support JYJ’s fans are showing?

[Fanaccount] 110529 – 2011 MickyParty

First time joining MickyParky~~ Has always been anticipating how the content is.
After the opening, Yoochun’s mum and auntie came up (on stage) and greeted, and cute Norae too~~

Yoochun’s mum said due to Yoochun’s schedules, he always returned home with his eyes shut and then went out with his eyes shut.

This time, he lost 3kg due to filming. (Master, don’t lose weight anymore T-T ) (T/N: Writer calls Yoochun as Master. As in honourable term.)

A while ago, Yoochun was sick and Yoochun’s mum told him to go to the hospital but Yoochun is afraid of needles thus doesn’t want to go. He was later being dragged over (to hospital).
Was supposed to be hospitalised for two days but our master strongly requested to go home after one day, even said that if he was denied, he will jump down….
Afterwhich, Yoohwan said, Hyung, it’s so weird, you don’t fear the pain of tattooing so why afraid of needles.

Mentioned about how Yoochun always spent his birthday overseas but when Yoochun is back this time, Yoochun’s mum will still prepare delicious food.
Side story: When Yoochun’s mum was talking, Norae was standing straight, with the straightened body, circling Yoochun’s mum’s pants round and round~
Upon the cutting cake session, she ran across the whole stage, you does know it’s your oppa’s birthday right~~

Then it was the photos and self-cam session~~ From the past till now~
Lastly was Yoochun’s recorded video, the volume for the video was too loud but there should be fans who would be able to hear clearly, till then everyone can go and check it out~~
There’s a sentence that I clearly heard it, Master jokingly said that he knew there’s gonna be Micky Party on the 29th thus he specifically arranged for schedule in US.
When Yoochun was talking, Norae was running around, thus Master said to Norae, “Ya!”, as though scolding her, but didn’t hear it clearly~ Basically it was like this, ha~

P.S. Looking at those self-cam photos by Yoochun, the whole event was watched smiling and (I) was thinking, what a good-looking face, sometimes smiles like a kid with eyes disappearing, sometimes with a gentle look, those small actions at the concert, the sniggering, the tongue-showing, how can anyone not loving a man like this, thus we must protect and stand by our Yoochun, always loving him, and let’s anticipate next year’s MickyParty together

~~ Always Keep The Faith!

110530 JYJ discusses their growth as artists through their world tour

With just two more stops to go in their two month-long world tour, JYJ recently sat down with Star Today to reflect on their tour thus far.

Jaejoong, who’s also the director for their Asian tour, began, “I aimed to create a stage that allowed artists to express their full potential. I paid special attention to understanding the culture of every city we were performing in and to converse more directly with our fans there. It was extremely heartwarming to see my thoughts come alive at every concert through our fans, and it’s definitely a thrilling experience. I’m thankful for everyone who came to see us.”

Junsu continued, “Bravo! I love it when the crowd shouts that. We’re with the best choreography teams for our American stops. They’ve worked with stars like Beyonce and Christina Aguilera, so the happiest moment for me is when they gave us a thumbs up and when staff members praised our live’s harmony. Because our staff members have worked with world pop stars, I do weigh their opinions more heavily. I’m glad that they feel our potential.”

Yoochun added, “The more time passes, the stronger we’re getting. I can feel that we’re growing and moving towards a better direction. With every new concert that we complete, things start to come together and the level of perfection gets higher. This world tour makes my heart swell with pride.”

Jaejoong finally concluded, “The tracks that we composed for our world tour are receiving a lot of love, which makes me proud. We hope to grow as artists that continue to make great tracks under the name of JYJ, and hope to meet more fans across the globe.”

JYJ will be concluding their American tour in San Jose on June 3rd before concluding the tour altogether in Busan on the 11th and 12th.
