[Trans] 111105 JYJ Member Kim Junsu Reveals That He Will Take A Good Break Before Starting Activities Next Year

JYJ will be closing their European tour with their last concert, held at Berlin’s Tempodrom on 6 November. Following that, Kim Junsu has decided that he plans to take a short holiday after the concert.

Kim Junsu appeared on YTN’s “Newswide” in a telephone interview on 5 November, and talked about his plans after the concert. “I think I will take a short break after this concert tour.”

He also said, “This may be a break, but I will also be preparing for next year in the meanwhile. I couldn’t write many songs while on the European tour, so I will continue writing during the holidays, and the other members will be continuing with their individual activities as well.” As for his own individual activities, Kim Junsu is currently preparing for the musical “Elisabeth” which will start in February next year.

When asked about how the JYJ members felt regarding their influence in Europe, Junsu laughed and said, “ This is a good chance for us to get a feel of a new culture, and to take the next step. Sometimes, I feel that if we were only (active) in Asia, that may not be a good thing. This concert tour is a good chance for us to grow and improve our skills.”

JYJ, who completed their solo concert in Barcelona’s Palau Sant Jordi on 29 October, will be holding their next concert in Berlin’s Tempodrom on 6 November.

[News] Junsu and Ok Juhyun Both Cast in Elisabeth, Draw Anticipation

Ok Juhyun and Kim Junsu who are being recognized as musical actors from idol stars have become cast in the musical Elisabeth. The two are heightening the anticipation for the large-theater musical Elisabeth that will draw its curtains in the coming February by being cast as Elisabeth and Death.

The musical Elisabeth is a re-interpretation of the story of the real-life empress of Austria Elisabeth and her death. This musical begins with the counterargument from Lucheni who is undergoing a trial of 100 years with the charge that he has murdered the empress. He argues that “the Empress loved death” and the story of the life and death of Elisabeth unfold.

Ok Juhyun takes the role of the lead Elisabeth and transforms into the tragic empress who is trapped within the royal halls and dreams of a free life and love. The musical actress Kin Sunyoung has been double-cast in the same role. Kim Junsu appears as the character that personifies death. He falls in fateful love with Elisabeth and endlessly tempts her. Ryu Junghan and Song Changwee have been triple-cast in the same role.

The production company EMK Musical Company said: “It has not been confirmed as to whether Ok Juhyun and Kim Junsu will stand on the same stage together. We plan to decide as to which actors appear together for all actors after mediating their schedules.”

Elisabeth first played in Vienna in 1992 and has since been performed in nations all around the world, and in Korea this is the first performance. The playwrights Sylvester Levay and Michael Kunze who showed Mozart! to Korea have this as one of their other representative works. The directing will be taken by Robert Johansson of the performance Hamlet.

For the role of Franz Joseph who loved Elisabeth only for all of his life, Yun Youngsuk and Min Youngki have been cast. For the narrator Lucheni, Kim Suyong, Choi Minchul and Park Euntae have taken the role and plan to act with enthusiasm.

The performance will take place from February 9 to May 13 in the Blue Square of Hannandong, Seoul.

Translation 111029 Kim Junsu Has Firm Grip On Role of ‘Death’ in “Elisabeth

[TRANS] 111029 Kim Junsu Has Firm Grip On Role Of “Death” In “Elisabeth,” Exuding The Charm Of His Twenties

Kim Junsu has been cast in the musical “Elisabeth,” and is set to once again create a sell-out legend.

Starting February next year, Kim Junsu will be appearing in the musical “Elisabeth,” playing the role of death,  bewitching the audience with his irresistible, mysterious charm.

This character “Death,” will fatefully fall in love with Elisabeth, who desires freedom. “Death” tells Elisabeth, who is restrained and confined by the monarchy that he is the only one who can give her freedom, and stays by her side throughout her entire life, tempting her with death. For this performance, Kim Junsu will be playing the role of “Death” together with Ryu Jung Han and Song Chang Eui.

In October 2010 during the “Kim Junsu Musical Concert – Levay and Friends,” Kim Junsu had already performed part of “Death’s” song from “Elisabeth” and received great praise.

Because of this, from the start of production process for “Elisabeth,” the opinion of “Shouldn’t Kim Junsu should play this role (of “Death”)” had been a dominant one. After his performances in “Mozart!” and “Tears of Heaven,” and standing tall in the musical world as a musical actor, there is much anticipation over what kind of storm Kim Junsu will once again create.

A point to note is that this character (of “Death”) transcends gender and time, a fantasy role, and it’s previous overseas performances have seen past actors from their twenties to their fifties, a huge age range. Therefore, one of the key points to enjoy in this musical is how Kim Junsu, who is in his twenties, Song Chang Eui who is in his thirties, and Ryu Jung Han, who is in his forties, three actors in three different age groups each exude a different kind of charm.

Images of these actors displaying varying styles have been also been revealed. We are looking forward to how “Death”, who transcends life and death and disregards the existence of gender, incites subtle feelings in an eclipse-like fantasy setting in a charismatic and lively stage.

Celebrating its 20th year since its first performance in Vienna, the musical “Elisabeth” will be playing from 9 February to 13 May next year at the Blue Square Samsung Electronics Theater.
