This rice will be donated to those in need and will be distributed to areas of Kim Junsu’s choice.

Starting at JYJ’s showcase and concert in 2010, Kim Junsu’s fans have been donated Dreame rice wreaths at every concert and fanmeet, and donated 1.3 tons and 790 kgs to the musicals’ Tears of Heaven’ (February 2011) and ‘Mozart!’ (May 2011) respectively.

Kim Junsu’s role in Elisabeth last February was met with 2.68 tons of rice wreaths and 270 briquettes as well. 2.11 tons were donated to Kim Junsu’s May concert last year, 700 kgs of rice and 100 mango trees to his Jeju fanmeet last September, 200kgs to his appearance at the Korea Musical Awards last October, and 910 kgs of rice, 6,000 eggs and 2,000 briquettes were donated to his December concert last year.

[TRANS] 130805 Junsu Mentions The FTC’s Verdict, ‘There Are No Issues Surrounding Our Broadcasted Appearances Now

junenoissuesftc

JYJ’s XIA Junsu recently opened up about the Fair Trade Commission (FTC)’s verdict on SM Entertainment (SM)’s interference.

On the 4th of August, XIA Junsu held the Seoul leg of his Asia tour at COEX and said, “The FTC has made a corrective order and we’ve won our lawsuit.”

XIA Junsu said, “The articles may make it seem like it’s a repeat of wins and losses, but if you look at it properly, you’ll see that we’ve won all our lawsuits till now. They called it a settlement but that’s because they were disappointed at the outcome.”

He continued to show his gratitude to his fans as he said, “Now, there are no issues surrounding our broadcasted appearances. When we do get to appear on TV again, I’ll be sure to talk about you all. I’ll always try to repay you with great music and performances.”

On the 24th of July, the FTC placed a prohibitive order against SM for interfering with JYJ’s activities as singers  and said, “Considering the leverage that SM Entertainment has as one of the three biggest entertainment agencies in Korea, as well as the specific nature of the KFPCAI as an organization in the entertainment industry, the official notice that was released placed a considerable amount of pressure on the recipients.”

To the KFPCAI, the FTC laid down a corrective order that stated, “The KFPCAI must notify the 12 business associations in the organization, as well as the 26 licensees who received the official notice, of the corrective measures that have taken place.”

XIA Junsu will be holding a solo concert in Australia in September.

C-JeS Entertainment revealed, “XIA Junsu’s solo concert in Australia has been confirmed. He will be holding his first Australian concert on the 28th of September in Sydney. After ending his Busan concert on the 11th of this month, he will be focusing on his role in ‘Elisabeth’ till early September. He will then restart his tour in September, with Australia being his first stop.”

XIA Junsu’s first solo concert in Australia is set to be great news for his fans down under. Last week, the Australian broadcasting channel SBS (Special Broadcasting Service) interviewed JYJ in their ‘POP ASIA’ corner and were met with an explosive response. Now, XIA Junsu will be performing for his Australian fans for the first time through his upcoming concert.

The C-JeS Entertainment representative continued to state, “Though there are unlawful limitations on our broadcasted activities in Korea, the response XIA Junsu has been receiving overseas is hotter than ever. He topped the BeijingTV’s ‘Music Billboard’ weekly popularity polls for overseas singers, beating out Justin Bieber and Rihanna. Not only this, but XIA Junsu also topped the iTunes charts in eight countries as soon as he released his second solo album, and has already topped the ‘Yinyue Tai’ music video weekly charts as well.”

Meanwhile, XIA Junsu plans to hold the Seoul leg of his Asia tour at COEX on the 3rd and 4th of August.

(Junsu, 6:23pm KST) Hello.. everyone ^^ I hope you’re all doing well~ My Saturday-Sunday concerts this week are finally about to begin~ I just wanted to say.. Because of all the requests I’ve been getting.. I decided that I’m going to perform ‘Isn’t This Song Funny?’ for you just for kicks. Even now, I’m wondering if this is a good idea… but let’s just go with it…^^;;

(Junsu, 6:25pm KST) Even my US dance crew must know a great song when they hear one.. They work their hardest when practicing the choreography of ‘Isn’t This Song Funny?’ and they keep giving me a thumbs-up…. ooooooh I just wanted to say that ‘Isn’t This Song Funny?’ requires some participation from you all to work. You have to shout along to these sentences that I’m about to write!!

(Junsu, 6:32pm KST) In the last section.. Everything except the lyrics ‘Even I think it’s funny’!.. You have to follow along to everything except ‘You’re amazing~’ And here are the other parts to follow along to as well!

(Junsu, 6:33pm KST) In the first verse: We beg you~~!!, In the second verse: Junsu, are you okay?, Junsu, they say that the altitude here is higher than that of Mt. Halla.. 2240m, In the third verse: Oh my god! Ladies and gentlemen, we hope you weren’t too shaken by this. A pigeon got stuck in the propeller so our flight will take off tomorrow!
I want you guys to shout these words out as loud as you can!

(Junsu, 6:33pm KST) Okay then, bye~~~~!!!!

Aww thanks for the clarification 😉
(Junsu, 6:57pm KST) Ah! You don’t have to do the ‘Oh man’ or the ‘Boing’ haha

[TRANS] 130728 Requests Flood In For Kim Junsu’s Appearance On ‘Inkigayo’ But The Staff Stay Silent

Posted on by

juneinkigayo

The viewers’ request page of SBS’ ‘Inkigayo’ has been flooded with fans asking for JYJ’s Junsu to appear on the show. This has been happening for all three major music programs, including KBS’ ‘Music Bank’ and MBC’s ‘Show! Music Core’.

One viewer stated, “Till when will you tread on glass around large entertainment agencies and concede to their every whim,” and “Viewers are bored with the same celebrities always appearing on the show, and people don’t watch the show anymore because they’re bored.”

They continued to add, “The FTC have made their verdict, and now is the time to give Junsu an chance,” and “We want to see Junsu, the frontrunner of K-pop, on a broadcasted stage in Korea.”

JYJ left TVXQ in 2009 and since then, have been unable to appear on broadcasted music programs due to external pressure. The FTC recently found SM Entertainment and the Korean Federation of Pop Culture and Arts Industries guilty of interfering with JYJ’s activities. With the FTC’s verdict made on the 24th, JYJ’s fans began expecting to see JYJ on stage in the near future.

However, the staff of the show have stayed silent, regardless of the viewers’ requests. Although it has become the hottest issue of the week in K-pop, not a single staff member of any broadcasted music program has expressed his or her opinion on the matter through official posts, SNS accounts or news articles.

In order to ‘strengthen communication with viewers’, all three major broadcasted music programs

have incorporated SNS points, and text message votes into their ranking systems, but they have stayed silent when it comes to requests made by the viewers themselves. Broadcasting companies use viewers when they need to, but do not reflect their requests or opinions at all.

Another viewer stated, “Legally, all restrictions against JYJ have disappeared,” and “We hope that the media remembers that their most important role is to promote fairness.” It is time for the staff of music programs to express their official stance to gain the trust of their viewers.

Hello~ This is U-Know Yunho.
Cassiopeia, I hope you are all doing well~?^^
I was out on a break today and decided to go to Gangwon Province to see a friend off as he returns to his unit in the army~
But I heard that you guys were all so worried about me, so I decided to write a post to assure you of my condition and thank all the fans who came to our Shanghai concert..

Because I wanted to create a better performance for all of our loving fans at the concert, I put all my efforts into preparing, rehearsing and exercising before the event. My muscles cramped up and I ended up making you all worry, which makes my heart ache so much when I think about it..

But thanks to the passionate shouts and cheers that you sent us when we got on stage, and thanks to all the love you have for us, I  was able to stay strong and keep going till the very end. I’ve gotten better now, and it’s not that the wire had snapped, so please don’t worry too much about it~^^

Though we and our fans were exhausted because of the hot weather, each and every heart at that venue became one to create a performance that we all enjoyed!!!! Thank you!!!!!

To our Cassiopeia, who have always loved and cared for us, I will continue to work hard to repay your love with performances that only get better and better!!!
Please be careful to avoid getting hurt or sick from the heat, overexposure to air conditioning and damages from the rain in this hot weather~~
And please continue to shower us with your support. ^_^v

We are~~~~~~~~~~~~~~T!!!!!!!!

juneincrediblesales

JYJ‘s Junsu (XIA) has topped the overall daily chart at Japan Tower Records with his second full-length album, “Incredible.”

In addition, he ranked at number two after Japanese group NEWS on the overall weekly chart (July 15-July 21). He also placed first on the weekly K-Pop chart.

A source close to Junsu stated, “Junsu’s album ranked number one on Tower Records’ overall pre-order rankings before the release, which raised the anticipation of Japanese fans. It is amazing that Junsu was able to rank first and second without being able to do album promotions, surpassing other Japanese artists.

Junsu moves on with his solo Asia tour from Thailand on July 28 to Shanghai, Seoul August 3-4, and Busan August 10-11.

[TRANS] 130721 “Junsu! Junsu!” The 3,000-Strong Shouts That Rang Throughout A Bangkok Concert Arena

Posted on by

JYJ’s Kim Junsu opens his ‘Incredible’ Asia Tour in Bangkok, Thailand

 

“Junsu! Junsu! Junsu!”

On the 20th, the 3,000 fans gathered at the Siam Paragon in Bangkok, Thailand shouted these two syllables ‘Junsu’ as loud as they could.

When the lights darkened and the instrumental of his last album ‘Tarantallegra’ began playing, their shouts only intensified, switching quickly to ‘Hey! Hey!’ to go along with the song.

Although the song was in Korean, a language that is quite foreign to them, the fans followed along with the cheers to greet the night’s star to their country.

This set the scene for JYJ Kim Junsu (26)’s first concert in Bangkok, Thailand for his second Asia Tour ‘Incredible’.

Fans held picket signs that read ‘XIA Daebak (Big Hit)’, handed out by local fansites such as ‘JYJ Box’ and ‘Coconut Xia’, and packed the venue. A sea of red rises up and down as fans hold red fanlights, JYJ’s color.

What stuck out was the fact that the concert venue was filled with teens, middle-aged parents with their children, and Koreans living in Thailand.

The day’s concert was the first event since the singer’s ‘Incredible’ showcase on the 15th.

After greeting his fans in Thai with a ‘Sawadikap (Hello)’, Kim Junsu said, “I’ve decided to kick off my tour with songs from my first and second album. Thailand has more passion than any other place I know. I’ll go all the way today.”

With a video that showed him shyly admitting his feelings to someone, he returned to the stage with a pink suit on to perform ‘I’m Confessing To You Right Now, Okay?’, ‘Chocolate Girl’, that has a sound as sweet as its name, and ‘No Reason’, which featured an erotic performance with the female dancers on a sofa.

Though there weren’t any ‘eye-popping’ special effects, Kim Junsu filled the stage with ballads that showcased his amazing vocal talents with ‘Don’t Go’ and ’11 o’clock’.

Fans didn’t let a single moment pass them by, whether Kim Junsu was drinking water, or had his veins popping on his neck as he sang the soulful ‘Rainy Eyes’, or was wiping the sweat off himself with a towel.

Fans could also hear the singer perform familiar drama OSTs such as ‘Love is like a Snowflake’ from ‘Nice Guy’, and ‘Foolish Heart’ from ‘Chunmyung’.

At his fans’ request, Kim Junsu sang the ‘Gwiyomi (Cutie) Song’, starting with “1 plus 1 is Gwiyomi” and also performed Ayaka’s ‘Minna Sorano Shita’ and Song Joong Ki’s ‘Nice Guy’ OST ‘Really’ without an instrumental, which was met with thunderous applause from the crowd.

The short videos that had been prepared in between the performances were another sight to see. The road that ‘Singer Kim Junsu’ has walked down was shown through pictures from his childhood and trainee days, and Thai subtitles ensured that the fans would be able to understand the video. When a kiss scene with an actress appeared on the screen, fans would be heard screaming “NO~” from even the very back of the crowd.

The atmosphere of the concert was at its climax during the last song of the night, ‘Incredible’, which also happens to be the title song of the singer’s second album.

Kim Junsu ran up to the front of the ‘I’-shape stage and had both hands in the air as he got his fans to join along. All his fans stood up and shook their fanlights as they danced to the music. Some even left their seats and ran up to the fence in front of the stage to get a closer look.

Mrs. Apapat (48), who attended the concert with her daughter Tataraphun (20), said, “Both of us really like Junsu,” and “My daughter says she likes him because he sings so well, and I like him because he always does his best and works hard, which makes him a great role model for my daughter. Like how we came to this concert together, Junsu has bettered our relationship and increased the amount of conversations we share.”

Kim Junsu will move on to Shanghai, China on the 28th, and then move on to perform in Seoul and Busan.

“I opened my Asia tour last year in Bangkok as well, and I think I’ve finished on a high with a lot of energy. I received so much energy and strength from the audience today. I will work hard to continue that ‘unlimited energy’ that I received today in the other countries I visit.”
