Posts of protest are flooding social networking systems regarding JYJ’s exclusion from the ’2014 Incheon Asian Games Commemoration Hallyu Concert’, despite the fact that they are the honorary ambassadors of the sporting event.

One Twitter user sent a tweet to Song Young Gil, the mayor of Incheon, (@Bulloger) and said, “Are you aware of the fact that JYJ, the honorary ambassadors of the Incheon Asian Games, weren’t even invited to the upcoming commemorative concert?” and “Even though they had never been invited to the concert, the committee submitted a false report that JYJ declined their invitation.”

According to the argument made by this Twitter user, JYJ’s names were excluded from the ’2014 Incheon Asian Games Commemoration Hallyu Concert’, that will be held on the 1st of September, despite being the honorary ambassadors of the sporting event, and the decision was made by the Incheon Development and Tourism Corporation, who are in charge of inviting celebrities to perform at the concert jyjincheonasianganes

The current guest list for the concert features 20 teams including 2AM, miss A, Girls Day, B2ST, Girls’ Generation, Super Junior, SISTAR, SECRET, KARA and T-ara.

JYJ’s agency C-JeS Entertainment stated that they have filed a formal objection regarding the controversy and stated, “A misunderstanding arose when the Incheon Development and Tourism Corporation, who are in charge of inviting singers to perform at the concert, notified the committee that JYJ declined their invitation. We set the record straight that we have never received an actual invitation to perform at the concert. We have been told that the committee will verify the truth of the situation by tomorrow (8th).”

Hearing about his controversy, Mayor Song stated, “I, too, hope for JYJ’s appearance at the concert but I was notified by the Incheon Development and Tourism Corporation that the line-up issue is being dealt with by MBC. I will make sure to check on the situation with the representatives of the Incheon Development and Tourism Corporation and the committee of the Asian Games.”

[SCANS + TRANS] 130729 Excerpts from “The JYJ” Magazine Vol. 2 – About Friendship & “5 commandments to me of 10 years later”

Posted on by

About Friendship:

Jaejoong:
“Friend is one soul put together in two bodies, who understand each other and do not push you out.”
(Trans: @rubypurple_fan)

jyjmagazine2

On the topic ‘friend’, Jaejoong said “Manners must be preserved [even between friends]. Recently I denounced my friendship with 3 fellows. Unfortunately, they crossed the line – the do’s and don’ts in friendship.” and “For instance, when there’s an age gap between someone and me, even if I talk informally with him, it means the distance between our hearts is shortened, not that he doesn’t need to observe his manners that should still be preserved between us. I can’t be a friend with that kind of person who ignores the line.”
(Source: @4U_JYJ Trans by: @jaetaku)

Yoochun:
“People have left my side but a friend is someone who comes to me when I call. Someone who believes in you when others won’t.”
(Trans by: @rubypurple_fan)

jyjmagazine2a

When the whole world leave my side, I call ‘friend’ the one who comes to find me. Even if everyone turns their back on me and doesn’t believe in me, if there’s only one person willing to believe in me, would there be any greater consolation? – Yuchun
(Source: @gomzinae75 Trans by: Sheena)

Only one person could believe me even if everyone turn a blind eye to me or don’t believe me, there’s nothing better than this consolation. – “Yuchun”
(Source: @gomzinae75 Trans by: @064g)

Junsu:
“A friend is someone who takes away your sadness.”
(Trans by: @rubypurple_fan)

[TRANS] 130806 “We Want To See Kim Junsu’s Performances” – The Seoul Arts Center’s Homepage Crashes

Fierce competition for ‘Elisabeth’ tickets, the Seoul Arts Center’s homepage crashes

junetod2013

A flood of fans are aching for tickets to see JYJ’s Kim Junsu (XIA) in the musical ‘Elisabeth’, leading to the homepage of the Seoul Arts Center, who are in charge of ticket reservations for the musical, to crash.

At 10a.m. on the 6th, Interpark and the Seoul Arts Center opened up the third round of ticket reservations for the musical ‘Elisabeth’.

Kim Junsu’s fans flooded in to grab tickets for Kim Junsu’s performances. Almost as soon as reservations opened up, the Seoul Arts Center’s homepage crashed. Though fans could access Interpark, Kim Junsu’s shows were sold out in an instant.

The reason behind the Seoul Arts Center homepage’s crash is probably Kim Junsu’s fans. Many of the posts written on various online communities were made by Kim Junsu and JYJ’s fans and said, “I want to get a ticket but I can’t access the website.”

During the first and second round of ticket reservations, most Kim Junsu-related online communities were flooded with posts about buying tickets for Kim Junsu’s ‘Elisabeth’ performances.

Meanwhile, Kim Junsu, who is charge of the role Death (Tod), attended the ‘Elisabeth’ press call on the 25th of July at the Seoul Arts Center and said, “‘Elisabeth’ is the production that won me the Best Musical Actor Award. I loved working with the greatest actors of the industry and I wanted to feel that excitement again. I’m happy to be working with everyone in this year’s cast. I learned so much from Robert Johansson last year, and I’d like to learn more from him this year.”

The musical ‘Elisabeth’ is a production that depicts the life of the beautiful Austrian empress Elisabeth. Her dramatic life story of love and death is highlighted by the fantasy character of Death.

Ok Joo Hyun, Kim Junsu, Park Eun Tae, Min Young Ki and Lee Jung Hwa will be joined by Kim So Hyun, Park Hyo Shin, Lee Ji Hoon, Kim Isak and Noh Ji Hoon, and the musical will be performed from the 26th of July till the 7th of September at the Seoul Arts Center’s Opera Hall.

Rice wreaths made an appearance at Kim Junsu (XIA)’s concert.

Fans from Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Hong Kong, the US, SPain, Algeria and Romania sent 1.25 tons of Dreame rice wreaths to Kim Junsu’s ‘XIA 2ND ASIA TOUR CONCERT INCREDIBLE in SEOUL’ concerts on the 3rd and 4th of August. 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.

Kim Junsu has been donating these sacks of rice, briquettes and eggs to various organizations such as the Seoul Dongmun Center for the Disabled, the Southern Hope Care Center, the Korean Silverlight Hope Church, Goyang-si’s Better Life Sports Association, the Briquettes of Love Movement and the National Food Bank.

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

Posted on by
1

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.

Our Three came through again. You weren’t extremely comfortable, language barriers were there, but I believe you did well.  A bit of zoning out at the end? Just pull together for that new JYJ album we’ve been looking forward to.  🙂 <333

(10:59am KST) We thought that we wouldn’t be able to stand on stage again. But for the past four years, we have been able to stand on stage and sing. And it was all thanks to our fans’ sincere hearts and love for us. The link below will take you to C-JeS Entertainment and JYJ’s official statement on the Fair Trade Commission’s ruling on SM Entertainment. We hope that our fans all over the world take interest and read it. Link
[T/N: Our translations for the statement can be found here]

1:37pm KST) Translations for the video are below.

(Yoochun) The name JYJ… I really like it. Thank you all so much. Thank you for caring for us so much that we are able to live a happier life. I think we still have so much to do if we want to repay you for all of your love, so we’re going to do our best and go at it with all we have.

(Junsu) Thank you… Thank you.

(Jaejoong) I apologize. We hadn’t planned to come up and talk, so we don’t have much prepared. And when you don’t have much prepared, your emotions start pouring out first, like Junsu right now; it’s natural. If we were to have a real heart to heart, we would probably end up needing four to five hours, just to talk it out. Even that wouldn’t be enough, right? Yoochun said this too, but we’re so happy right now. We’re human after all, and I think humans feel most suffocated when they can’t like what they like, can’t do what they want to do, or express what they want to express. I’m so happy to be standing in front of all the people who have made it possible to be free in what we do, if not 100%, at least more than before. We will take all the strength you’ve given us and work harder, and within what we have.. Like what Yoochun said, we’ll go at it and break free. Till then, we don’t need anything else, we’ll be grateful if you just believe in us and watch over us. Thank you so much. And thank you to those sitting on the second and third floors as well. Thank you.

Till now, this has been JYJ. Thank you!
