[News] 120802 US songwriter Bruce Automatic praises JYJ’s Kim Jun Su

 

JYJ’s Kim Jun Su recently spent a special week in Los Angeles.

Kim visited the United States two years after he recorded the JYJ worldwide EP. He worked with songwriter Bruce Automatic Vanderveer from Sony Music and shot a music video with director Marc Kalsfeld.

Kim says, “Working in the United States is difficult but fun. The system helps artist think about and express feelings more wonderfully. I especially liked working with energetic songwriter Bruce Automatic.”

“I think we created a pretty good song. Shooting a music video here was a bit different from Korea. I was shy to perform in front of many American staff members.”

Bruce has worked with Christina Aguilera, Wanted, and  Leona Lewis. He says, “I have worked with lots of artists but Kim is one of the best vocalists. I want to warn famous artists in the States to be careful of Kim. He has strong potential power like A class stars in the States. I’m happy to work with the great artists and I want to keep working with him.”

 Marc says, “Kim has quick instincts and beautiful eyes. He always creates a happy atmosphere on the set. I saw a music video for “Tarantallegra” on YouTube and I was happy to have chance to work with him.”

Kim says, “Unlike in Korea, here, I had to shoot the music video with only music and the explanation of the scene. Director didn’t tell me what to do in detail so I had to perform in one long take. I didn’t know what to do at first but after I realized what I should do, I was able to maximize the feelings about the song. I can’t wait to see the result.”

Kim will finish touring Asia in Hong Kong on August 7 then he will tour the United States, South America, and Europe.

[TRANS] 120727 Kim Junsu’s ‘Tarantallegra’ Tops Peru’s Weekly Radio Charts

 JYJ’s Kim Junsu (XIA) has become a hot topic in South America for topping weekly radio charts in Peru.

The Peruvian weekly radio charts Teen Top held a poll in which Kim Junsu had a landslide win of 1,835 out of 3,014 votes and beat out other singers such as Big Bang, Justin Bieber and 2NE1.

Also, when the cities for Kim Junsu’s world tour were announced, Peruvian fans showed their intense desire for the singer to hold a concert in their nation by posting a video on Youtube titled ‘XIA SUPPORTING PROJECT BY PERUVIAN FANS’.

A South American representative stated, “When it was announced that concerts would be held in Mexico, Chile and Brazil, fans from Peru, Columbia, Bolivia and Argentina expressed their disappointment that the singer would not be visiting their respective countries. The feeling was stronger for Peruvian fans because JYJ’s popularity in Peru is immense, with 3,000 fans gathering in front of the hotel JYJ stayed at during their last visit.”

C-JeS stated, “We know how passionate South American fans are. Because we intend to include South American in all future world tours, there will be more opportunities for fans to meet the members. We are certain that Kim Junsu will be met with a sensational response in the continent.”

Meanwhile, Kim Junsu will wrap up his Asia tour in Hong Kong on the 7th of August to begin his world tour soon after.

[Trans] 120723 BODA 7 Magazine – Junsu’s Love For His Fans Was Remarkable

Junsu’s love for his fans was remarkable

It was deeply impressive to witness Junsu showing his love for his fans on the red carpet. Since he appeared on the red carpet and till he disappeared into a building, he waved his hand to every fan in every side. Even considering that most of the people around the red carpet were Junsu’s fans, his attitude was very rare to see on the red carpet. Most stars usually walk on the red carpet, wave their hands formally, and leave in hurry after being taken photos in front of photo wall. Compared with this, it is very exceptional that a star says hello to fans from the beginningi to the end. Of course, in front of the photo wall he waved his hand to all fans around him by a request of a MC. But walking from his car to photo wall, and from photo wall to the building, he waved his hand to all on the all sides certainly by his willingness. That was the moment we could feel his heart for his fans

[Trans] 120723 This Year, Which Group Artiste Will Go Solo?

JYJ Kim Junsu: Solo Album Released Under “Restrictions” Circumstances

His first album was seen as a protest against JYJ’s restriction. To this, Kim Junsu felt disheartened.

When JYJ, who used to be a part of TVXQ, was resolving their contract with SM Entertainment, their company filed for their restriction from appearing on any music programmes or performances. The court later on ruled against the filing, however it was said that due to SM Entertainment’s strong influence, Korean broadcasting companies had to “show some respect and gave in”. Though the filing for restriction was ruled as invalid, JYJ is still under restriction circumstances.

It has been 8 years since Kim Junsu debuted and when he released his solo album “Tarantallegra”, he continued to be absent from all music programmes, causing rumours of the “restrictions” once again.

 

He helplessly said, “It was not easy during the production. Especially under the circumstances knowing that I was not able to promote it on television programmes. Therefore I emphasized more on the vocal quality and MV filming. But what troubled me was that, the album was seen as me using my own energy to protest against certain issues.”

Though he was unable to escape from the rumours, his album was a big sell-out. His Asia tour tickets were selling fast and almost every stop was sold out. The 17000 tickets in Seoul was in fact sold out in 15 minutes.

JYJ Park Yoochun envied Kim Junsu’s solo album and expressed, “Looking at Junsu’s album, it’s as though my wish was fulfilled. I am proud of him and no one else can do it better than him. Therefore I want to thank him for making JYJ shine so brightly.”

NEWS] JYJ’s Junsu to Hold A World Tour and Release a Repackaged Album!

 On July 16th, representatives from C-Jes Entertainment announced, “[JYJ‘s] Junsu, who is currently traveling on his Asia Tour, will also be holding a world tour in North America, South America, and Europe.”

After having released his first solo album and sweeping music charts across the continent of Asia, Junsu appears to be ready to meet his global audience. And not surprisingly so, since despite this being Junsu’s first time embarking on solo album activities, he has achieved great sales numbers even on charts abroad with his unique concept and 12 stylistically diverse songs.

CEO of C-JeS Entertainment Baek Chang Joo further expanded on Junsu’s success, saying, “Ever since Junsu’s first public performance, his solo album has not only captivated the country, but also a wide area of Asia as well; as we were, of course, targeting markets overseas, it seems we have produced a world class music video. The awaited results were extraordinary. During Junsu’s successful Asia tour, the number of love calls we received from areas such as North and South America would not stop flowing in, and thus we decided to launch a world tour.”

The CEO continued to reveal, “For this world tour, Junsu has put together and prepared a repackaged album. As this album will be targeting the world market, it will include an English single and a music video produced in America. Although we cannot further clarify our future plans, Junsu will be climbing the steps to fame in America.”

One of these American parties interested in JYJ’s Junsu commented, “There is great interest [and anticipation] for JYJ’s Junsu’s world tour success throughout America. The title song,“TARANTALLEGRA”, not only attempted to draw in interest via the K-Pop Wave, it created its own, unique sensation; the music video has gathered high marks from parties throughout America as well. It seems that, after promoting as a soloist and single-handedly holding a world tour, Junsu has demonstrated the global interest [he has gathered].”

It has been decided that Junsu’s upcoming world tour will include stops in 2-3 cities per continent. Currently, Junsu is still on his Asia tour, which started in Seoul, and is continuing throughout countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan, and China. Next month, Junsu will be holding his final concert in Hong Kong.
