[TRANS] 130502 TVXQ Hit The Jackpot Of 100 billion Won In Japan… K-Pop Takes On The Yen

[TRANS] 130502 TVXQ Hit The Jackpot Of 100 billion Won In Japan… K-Pop Takes On The Yen

Inside Story – The Economics of Idol Stars’ Overseas Concerts

– 850,000 audience members… The biggest concerts ever
– Girls’ Generation and SHINee are preparing their world tours
– SM states, “The number of audience members will increase by 50%”
-YG’s G-Dragon is expected to attract 550,000 audience members

 

TVXQ, the ‘oldest brother’ of Korean idol groups, have yet again proved their explosive popularity in China and Japan. Their Beijing concert in late-March had 10,000 Chinese fans holding light sticks and cheering the singers on. Their Five Dome Tour, which began late last month at the Saitama Super Arena, is expected to attract 850,000 audience members across 18 concerts till mid-August. This means that TVXQ have now set the record of the most number of audience members for a tour in one country. They will be the first non-Japanese singers to be holding a concert at Nissan Stadium, which seats 75,000 people.

The price of tickets for this tour is approximately 120,000 Won per ticket. Considering the fact that 850,000 people will be attending the tour, it can be said that TVXQ have earned 102 billion Won in ticket sales alone. SM Entertainment also has Girls’ Generation and SHINee lined up for world tours starting June, and Super Junior recently visited South America for their own tour.

TVXQ’s world tour last year attracted 570,000 fans. SM Entertainment was able to attract a total of 1.4 million overseas fans to its tours with a joint-concert (300,000) that included Super Junior (280,000), SHINee (250,000), and Girls’ Generation. A representative of SM stated, “The number of audience members we’re attracting this year already rivals the total number last year,” and “If we take into consideration the number of concerts we will have by the end of the year, we can estimate that the number of audience members will increase by 50%.”

K-pop singers have become more active in holding overseas concerts. They are planning to utilize their global popularity to earn a profit in a wide range of countries. YG Entertainment is currently in the process of scheduling Psy’s overseas concert tour and will be revealing the dates once they are done discussing the details with their American partners. A representative of YG stated, “As this is Psy’s first world tour, we expect it to receive global attention.”

YG’s G-Dragon from Big Bang is expected to attract a total of 550,000 fans through 25 performances in 13 cities in 8 countries. He will be the first solo singer to hold a 4 Dome Tour. Big Bang’s Daesung brought in 100,000 fans in 25 performances in 19 Japanese countries. Big Bang also attracted 800,000 fans in 12 cities for their world tour. JYP’s 2PM, DSP’s KARA and FNC’s CN BLUE have either begun or are planning to kick off overseas tours as well.

The industry expects to see a 20% increase in profits from overseas K-pop concerts from last year. Though the number of concerts has increased from last year, the weakening of the Yen has hit hard with Japan being K-pop’s biggest overseas market.

Overseas concerts bring in more profit than album sales and it’s said that half of total K-pop sales (235 million dollars) comes from concerts. The proportion of profit in Japan of K-pop concerts and album sales is 6 to 4. In other countries, concert sales contributes to the majority of overall profits. In large-scale concerts, a total of 2 billion Won can be earned from each concert from sales of goods such as towels, clothing and photobooks.

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has decided to create a large-scale concert venue in Korea for overseas fans. Goyang-si Ilsan’s Hallyu World is contracted to build a concert venue by 2016 that will hold 150,000 people.

[News] 130501 K-Pop Celebrity Siblings Spotlight: Stars Run in the Family

How many star siblings are there and who are they? We will explore the star-studded families here.

In K-pop, there is quite a number of sibling celebrities. Their so-called star genes are often the subject of the public’s envy as an average person’s family picture pales in comparison to that of self-radiating celebrity families. So how many star siblings are there and who are they? We will explore the star-studded families here.

The Actor-Actress Families

Kim Tae Hee and Lee Wan have both had great acting careers. Kim Tae Hee, after debuting in 2000 as an advertising model, gained a lot of momentum in the widely popular ‘Stairway to Heaven’ and has continued to build a great track record as one of the most beautiful actresses in Korea. Lee Wan, initially relegated to a title of Kim Tae Hee’s younger brother, gradually marked his territory as a talented actor in film industries as well as the small screen.

Um Jung Hwa and Um Tae Woong are also well-known celebrity siblings. Um Jung Hwa has enjoyed a great deal of success as a singer in her 20s and early 30s and now as an actress in the big screen. The brother, Um Tae Woong, made his mark with his work in ‘Resurrection’ back in 2005 and began to elevate his career.

JYJ’s Yoochun and Yoohwan are known as the good-looking brothers. Yoochun, has ventured out to acting and established himself as a well-balanced actor who can spearhead a drama.

The Idol Group Families

Girls’ Generation’s Jessica and f(x)’s Krystal are probably the best-known siblings. Often called the ‘beautiful Jungs,’ they are both members of top-notch girl-groups.

2NE1′s Dara and MBLAQ’s Thunder are also siblings. After spending their childhood in the Philippines, Dara paved the way for her brother as she got selected to become an idol trainee through a survival audition program and eventually became a member of 2NE1.

Last but not least, there are the Gwangmin-Youngmin twins of Boyfriend. With pretty facial feature, they have build a respectable fan base with their group, Boyfriend.

[Info] 130429 Five Fun Facts About JYJ Yoo Chun (As Actor)

[Info] 130429 Five Fun Facts About JYJ Yoo Chun (As Actor)

Here are a few facts you may not know about Park Yoo Chun.

Yoochun

Park Yoo Chun, also known as Yoochun and by the stage name of Micky Yoochun is so popular throughout Asia, that when he travels with his group JYJ, airports are often immobilized by the arrival of eager fans.

Although you may know a lot about the singer-turned actor, here are a few more facts.

1. Park Yoo Chun is very close to his brother, Park Yoo Hwan, who is also an actor. The brothers immigrated to America with their parents but were separated when Yoochun left to pursue a career as a singer. The experience was difficult for both of them, but today the siblings are closer than ever.

“My brother is like a father to me,” said Yoo Hwan, who appeared in the drama, “A Thousand Days’ Promise.”

As to who is a better actor, Yoochun says his brother’s acting is more natural than his, but he is better at being emotional.

2. The role of Han Jung Woo in “Missing You” proves that Yoochun can turn on the tears. The line his character kept repeating was that he was not really crying but the wind was making his eyes tear up. But it was so cold on set that it actually interfered with his crying.

“When the chilly wind is blowing, it’s not easy to cry,” said Yoochun. “And in the cold wintry weather, my mouth often became frozen when I was saying my lines.

3. He does not think he is a good actor yet or necessarily very attractive.

“Honestly, I need makeup in order to look good, and because I became an actor all of the sudden after being a singer, there is a lot of room for improvement,” said Yoochun.

When praised for his work, he said. “It is not because my acting is good; rather I think my personal experiences show through my acting. As I have experienced crying bitterly before, it was possible for me to cry in scenes like that.”

4. He would like to grow hair longer again, as it was in his early JYJ days, but drama roles get in the way.

“After “Sungkyunkwan Scandal,” my hair was so long I could tie it up, I like long hair like that. But after I cut it off, even if I want it long again, I can’t do it. If I want to let my hair grow long, I need to have one year of no work, but there is work continually.”

5. He is so busy that he considered adopting a daughter but decided his schedule was too demanding. He so enjoyed interacting with the young actress Kim So Hyun when he starred in “Rooftop Prince” that he began to think about how much he would like to have a daughter.

“I really love daughters,” said Yoochun. “I fantasize about having a loving family. When I marry I think I will be able to have a daughter like So Hyun.”
