[News] 120508 JYJ’s Kim Jae Joong Appears In Historical Series

JYJ’s Kim Jae Joong is performing hard riding a horse and shooting action scenes for a historical series.

Kim plays the role of an attractive man named Kim Kyung Tak from the Joseon Dynasty in MBC’s new weekend series Dr. Jin, which will begin airing on May 26.

Kim, who is skilled in the military arts and has a sad hidden past, works at the police bureau. In the pictures, which were released on May 8, Kim drew a lot of attention thanks to his strong eyes and splendid appearance.

According to the production crew for the series, since Kim was cast in the series, he has been trying hard to get used to speaking and behaving like a person from the Joseon Dynasty. He is also preparing for the equestrian and action scenes.

 The production crew says, “Even though Kim has never appeared on a historical series before, he is performing very well. He surprised the entire crew by looking perfect in the historical costumes. He is trying very hard to portray his character, who is strong and manly. I’m sure he will capture the audience’s hearts.”

The series is based on the Japanese comic book written by Murakami Motoka of the same title. It is about a modern day Korean surgeon, who goes back in time to the Joseon Dynasty in the 1860s, and works there as a doctor.

Editors Note: Update on The University of Michigan Symposium–“Of The Fans, By The Fans, For The Fans”–The Republic of JYJ

Posted on by

Approximately a month ago I posted a reference to a conversation that I had with the Director of the Nam Center for Korean Studies concerning a symposium entitled  Hallyu 2.0  “Of The Fans, By The Fans, ForThe Fans”–The Republic of JYJ . She was very informative, and helpful, and she sent me the posters and brochure for the symposium via e-mail.

I could not personally attend the symposium on Good Friday, 2012 because I am a minister and had to attend church services–but I was told that there would be information from the symposium posted on the Nam Center For Korean Studies Facebook page at a later date that I could access and post. So far, that is still forthcoming, but I did run across the Fanaccount below from http://jyjsoul.tumblr.com which is affiliated with JYJ3. This was a marvelous find and I wanted to share it with you all.

Responsibility is great when you have so many voices to add into the mix. JYJ fans are passionate people and I thought it important to help get the word out.  I was saddened when my server crashed on the 26th of March and my husband had to move http://jyjfantalk.com to a larger server. That meant that the information I was trying to keep out there concerning the Symposium went down with the server. However, the Fanaccount is great and I hope to find even more information at a later date.

[ACCOUNT+AUDIO] University of Michigan Symposium on Hallyu 2.0 Seminar “OF THE FANS, FOR THE FANS, BY THE FANS-THE REPUBLIC OF JYJ

Posted on by

Hello! ^_^

I had the opportunity to go on Friday to the Symposium at the University of Michigan and attended the seminars (with the exception of the first block since I drove 3 hours and I overslept 30 minutes >~<), including “Of the fans, by the fans, for the fans – the Republic of JYJ” by Professor Seung-Ah Lee of Los Angles City College. As a scholar, the conference as a whole was very informational and looking forward to the book that the university is planning to published within a year that includes the scholarly papers for each speaker, including the one regarding JYJ ;D.

I was also able to meet a fellow JYJ3 member at the conference when we went up to chat with Professor Seung-Ah Lee after her talk 🙂 It was nice meeting you Meaghan (not sure of the spelling, sorry) and too bad you had to go home right after the Second block of presentations. Would have loved to get to meet you even more.

I recorded audio of the talk for those that were unable to attend but are interested in what what was said and typed out an outline below:

  • Introduction of Speaker
  • History Of Hallyu
  • The fans she interviewed. Passion, enthusiasm, and affection towards the members came from all the fans she interviewed.
  • Who is Dong Shinki?
  • Artist Contracts in the Korean Music Industries (slave conditions, with no power)
  • Lawsuit brought by the three members of TVXQ
  • Unfair treatment continues after the judge ruled in the favor of Jaejoong, Junsu, Yoochun by not being able to appear music charts, programs, etc.
  • Sites that once supported the original TVXQ converted to only support JYJ.
  • JYJ today truly continues the legacy of original TVXQ
  • The Repulic of JYJ – anyone who loves JYJ is a citizenship
  • The role of the fans is to protect JYJ and have become the fighter of justice.
  • Sasaengs are illegal immigrants in the Republic of JYJ
  • Why a Republic of JYJ and not a nation, family or something else? In hopes to highlight the autonomy and democracy of the fandom.
[NOTE: I apologize for the quality of the audio, but the Nam Center for Korean Studies at the University of Michigan confirmed that the seminar will be recorded. The video recording of the event will be posted on the University Web Site. Once it has been posted, I will update everyone :) ]
 
Also, University of Michigan Professor Youngju Ryu’s presentation was entitled “How a Podcast Started a Revolution: New Media and Electoral Politics in South Korea” and said that she thought that her presentation was a little out of place compared to the other speakers since it was not really about Hallyu so decided to wear something that represented the Hallyu wave. She wore an official JYJ t-shirt she purchased at the 2011 Busan concert. Me and my friends cheered. \(^_^)/ During the 4th and final block, my whole roll was JYJ fans, 3 friends I came with, the JYJ presenter, Professor Seung-Ah Lee, and Professor Ryu.

Several presentations had images of the trio since their debut in 2003. I ended the night by stopping at Seoul Street in Ann Arbor with my group. If anyone is in the area I really recommend. My friend from South Korea said it tasted authentic. We ended up buying Bibimbap, Kimbap, Dukboki, Fried Rice, Budae Jigae and Kimchi! So nommie…

[[News] 120505 JYJ’s Kim Jae Joong’s sister about to debut? She looks just like her brother!

JYJ’s Kim Jae Joong’s little sister has been unveiled, attracting people’s eyes.

Recently, a netizen captured a tweet of Kim Jae Joong’s mother, Oh Seo Jin, and posted it on an online community board with the title “Kim Jae Joong’s sister about to debut.”

In the posting, Oh wrote, “The youngest one decided to enter the Department of Theater and is about to debut. We’ve met director yesterday, and today we’re going to have a meal with station manager at an annex hall of KBS building. He says that he likes her pure image, but since she doesn’t know how to dress up in a stylish way, she seems to fall behind the trend. I’m so concerned.”

 Along the posting, a picture of Kim Jae Joong’s sister was revealed. It was first uploaded on February 4 by Oh on Twitter. Kim’s younger sister shows well-defined features just like her brother, and her flawless skin appeals an innocent image.

Netizens reacted: “No wonder they are related by blood.” “Is this another brother and sister celebrities after Kim Tae Hee and Lee Wan?” “She’s a pure beauty.”
