[Trans] 130712 Max Changmin – Park Hyung Shik, ‘Handsome Bumblers’ Have Viewers Cooing In Delight

Viewers have motherly smiles on their faces whenever they see these members on variety shows?

KBS 2TV’s ‘Our Neighborhood’s Master of Variety and Sports’ and MBC’s ‘Real Men’, the two upcoming variety shows of 2013, have one thing in common. A youngest member who brings out the protective streak in viewers as they bumble their way through sports and the military.

The youngest member in ‘Our Neighborhood’s Master of Variety and Sports’ is Max Changmin and the baby soldier of ‘Real Men’ is Park Hyung Shik. They’ve captured the hearts of viewers with their good looks and surprisingly bumbling behavior. Viewers call them the ‘handsome bumblers’. Let’s fall into the charm of these handsome bumblers~

The bumbling young one, Max Changmin

Max Changmin is currently working with Kang Ho Dong, Lee Soo Geun and Jo Dal Hwan on ‘Our Neighborhood’s Master of Variety and Sports’. They have battled against ordinary folks in table tennis, bowling and now, badminton. Former sumo wrestler Kang Ho Dong, condiment-like Lee Soo Geun and master of sports Jo Dal Hwan have each formed their own characters, and Max Changmin has solidified his status as the sincere ‘maknae’ (youngest in the group).

Max Changmin has a monopoly over the love of his older team members as the youngest member with a faint heart. When he appears on ‘Our Neighborhood’s Master of Variety and Sports’, he is no longer the charismatic member of TVXQ on stage; he is a part of the KBS team. Sometimes he’s like the boy next door, and sometimes he’s like a cute younger brother.

Unfortunately, Max Changmin hasn’t won a single match in any of the sports events he’s played in. Though Max Changmin’s athletic skills aren’t outstanding, as said by his table tennis and bowling coaches, he’s more diligent and practices more than anyone else.

He is also growing and maturing with the program. Because he has not appeared on many variety shows in the past, there are still so many talents and surprises that he has yet to show.

In a phone conversation with StarNews on the 12th, a representative of the show stated, “Max Changmin tries really hard. He doesn’t fade into the background between such strong personalities as his older team members, and he plays his part as the youngest member of the team,” and “But when he loses a match, he tends to shed tears out of disappointment and sorrow. Everyone knows just how sincere Max Changmin is about this show, so even those tears make us feel so proud of him.”

XIA (Junsu) met with Quincy Brown to work together on a song.

On the 11th of July, C-JeS Entertainment stated, “XIA (Junsu) worked with Quincy Brown, the son of famous rapper Puff Daddy, on his new song. As an upcoming rapper and actor in the US, Quincy Brown helped XIA (Junsu) out on his second solo album by featuring in his title song ‘Incredible’.”

According to this representative, Quincy Brown makes the song more mesmerizing with his English rap that begins with ‘You’re so hypnotic girl, you’re incredible’.

They continued to add, “The partnership of XIA (Junsu) and Quincy Brown, such energetic artistes, has created a high-quality song. The two artistes met at the music video shooting in L.A. and enjoyed their time together, talking about music,” and “XIA (Junsu)’s music video is a fusion of a song and video that goes great with the Summer season.”

[Trans] 130710 Tahiti Make An Official Apology For Using JYJ’s Song… “It Wasn’t Intentional But It Was Still Wrong”

tahiticopyright

Girl group Tahiti’s representatives have released an official apology regarding their use of the intro of JYJ’s hit song ‘Mission’ without permission.

In a phone conversation with MyDaily, a representative of Tahiti’s agency Dream Star Entertainment said, “We received an official statement from JYJ’s agency and sent them an official apology. Though it wasn’t intentional, it was still wrong of us to not be more thorough in checking the source of the song. We will make sure that incidents like this will not happen again.”

Tahiti used the intro of ‘Mission’ for their performances in Cambodia in March and at Hongik University in May, which was picked up by JYJ fans and uncovered that the song had been used without any permission.

The representative from Tahiti’s agency added, “We used the intro at the suggestion of a person who had worked on JYJ’s concerts. He told us that it was okay to use the music, so we didn’t think it would be an issue. We should have been more thorough in our background research, so we’re very sorry.”

Regarding this, JYJ’s agency C-JeS Entertainment stated, “We brought up the issue through an official statement to the entertainment agency in charge to retrieve the rights of our artistes, but we have decided not to take any legal action because it was not intentional. We are just waiting for a response from them instead. We would like for this to be an opportunity for everyone involved to learn the value of copyright laws.”

But what does this mean????
(Junsu, 5:28pm KST) ha

Child is bored. Tweets a lot. GOOD.
(Junsu, 5:52pm KST) Yesterday… I got bored after wrapping up our schedule, so I played catch with Yoochun and Jaejoong. There weren’t any left-handed gloves so I just threw while our managers caught the ball. Jaejoong’s right-handed so he caught the ball as well… and he surprised me by being so good at it. People stared at us in surprise and curiosity.. It must be that playing catch is very rare in Europe..

(Junsu, 5:55pm KST) Since coming to Chamonix.. should I call them products of modern civilization.. or should I call it culture.. I haven’t encountered it at all.. We’ve just been seeing mountains.. and lakes, and I just walk around.. and sleep. It’s nice to have such a repetitive lifestyle at times.. But three days have passed, and I’m bored. I’m even tweeting.. I must be really bored right now.

(Junsu, 6:05pm KST) I’m.. quite special because I’m only right-handed when I write, and left-handed for everything else.. Everything is so difficult when I use my right hand.. I’m a perfect left-handed person.. Yoochun’s also a left-handed person.. but he plays golf with his right hand.. When I asked him how that’s possible, he said it just happens.. Amazing, isn’t it? …. He must be  ambidextrous.

(Junsu, 6:35pm KST) Mont Blanc today, but Korea tomorrow..

(Junsu, 6:41pm KST) Junsu~ I like the movements you’ve changed slightly for The Last Dance~ Like the part where Elisabeth moves as though Tod is controlling her. When we were doing a run-through yesterday, I told the people in EMK that the dramatic explanation becomes more heightened in that moment 《 I just received this KakaoTalk message from Ok Elisabeth just now.. lol

[Trans] 130710 Stealing An ‘Intro’? Girl Group Tahiti Stirs Controversy By Using JYJ’s Song Without Permission

Using the intro of ‘Mission’ at overseas concerts and college festivals

jyjtahitiintomission

Girl group Tahiti has been embroiled in a controversy of using a song without permission.

 

JYJ fans began making the claim that Tahiti has been using the intro of JYJ’s hit song ‘Mission’ without their permission. The fans brought up a problematic YouTube video that shows Tahiti performing their song ‘Hasta Luego’ at a festival in Hongik University.

 

The issue is that the intro of the performance uses the intro of ‘Mission’. Park Yoochun’s voice saying ‘just pull it off’ can be heard in the middle of their performance as well. After their performance, Tahiti stated in an interview with the MC that, “This intro is a special one that we only use during our overseas performances, but we decided to use it today because we’re at Hongik University.”

 

In a video of Tahiti performing in Cambodia in March, JYJ’s ‘Mission’ can be heard as the intro of ‘Hasta Luego’.

 

 

 

Fans raised the issue with the entertainment agencies of both groups, and one fan posted an apology e-mail that they received from a representative of Dream Star Entertainment, the agency in charge of Tahiti.

jyjtahitiemailapologytofans

The e-mail says, “We would like to apologize to the fans,” and “We decided to use the music as our intro at the suggestion of a concert representative during one of our overseas concerts.”

 

It also says, “We found out that the music had been reused due to the inattention of their manager,” and “Disciplinary action has been taken against the manager, and the music file has been terminated.”

 

Fans who read the e-mail said, “They shouldn’t send an individual e-mail like that; they should provide us with an official apology”, “I didn’t say anything at first because I assumed they had paid royalties before using the song, but the fact that the entertainment agency apologized shows that they used it without permission,” and “Even if the music was used at the suggestion of a concert representative, shouldn’t you have checked before using JYJ’s song, especially a composition by one of the members?”

 

Dream Star Entertainment stated in a phone conversation with CBS NoCut News that, “We didn’t know it was a JYJ song,” and “We said that it would be nice to have an intro to the concert, and one of the concert’s representatives, who had been the head of JYJ’s concert business team, brought the music to us and we began using it from Tahiti’s Philippine performance.”

 

The agency continued to add, “It should have ended as a one-time happening, but we kept using it for the Cambodia and Hongik University performances,” and “If we had known it was a JYJ song, we wouldn’t have used it.”

A representative of JYJ’s agency C-JeS Entertainment stated, “We contacted the Korea Music Copyright Association and found out that they used the song without permission,” and “We have no idea who they are talking about when they bring up the concert business team representative.”

They continued to add, “But as their actions were unintentional, we will send them an official statement and take the proper actions against this violation that took place between two companies.”

JYJ’s ‘Mission’ was released in their 2011 album ‘In Heaven’ and was composed by Kim Junsu and had lyrics written by his brother JUNO.

[Trans] 130709 Kim Junsu’s Reps Refute Loen, “You Say That We Were Still Only In The Discussion Process?”

[Trans] 130709 Kim Junsu’s Reps Refute Loen, “You Say That We Were Still Only In The Discussion Process?”

Loen’s nullification of promotional marketing strategies for Kim Junsu’s latest album has become a controversy.

Through an official letter of plea on the 9th of July, C-JeS Entertainment stated, “On the 8th of July, six days till the release of XIA (Junsu)’s second solo album, we received a unilateral notification from the album’s distribution company Loen Entertainment.”

According to C-JeS, Loen has cancelled all verbal agreements made in the past two months, and unilaterally notified the agency that they would still distribute the album online and offline, but would nullify all other promotional marketing strategies. The crux of the controversy is the broadcast of the singer’s showcase, which is set to be attended by Melon users, on MelonTV. Loen is said to have notified C-JeS that the event would be broadcasted live on LoenTV, but would be impossible to disclose on Melon.

To Newsen, Loen made a clarification and stated, “Regarding Kim Junsu’s showcase, C-JeS and Loen had not yet completed and signed a contract. This problem has arisen in the final stages of discussions between the two parties.”

They continued to reveal, “Many statements conditions and requests have been said between the two parties in the discussion process of the contract. C-JeS poster their letter of plea in the middle so such a process, and their statement that Loen unilaterally notified C-JeS of the nullification of promotional marketing strategies is completely false. A final decision on the contract hadn’t even been made yet.”

Regarding this, a representative of C-JeS Entertainment refuted, “After receiving a sudden notification on the 8th, six days before the showcase, we sent Loen an official statement outlining our stance. We clearly stated that we would release a letter of plea to the public if Loen did not give us a reply. However, we were met with silence. Loen’s representatives keep saying that we were still in the discussion process and had yet to sign a contract, but they had already taken reservations for the album and had already begun receiving applicants for their showcase event. If we had not come to a decision, then wouldn’t it have been right to wait till we had before they went through these processes?”

Regarding the problematic showcase controversy, Loen stated, “If we had really nullified our promotional marketing strategies as C-JeS claims, information regarding Junsu’s showcase and its related event’s page would have been taken down from Melon’s homepage, but as netizens can see, the page is still open and fully functioning. The list of people who are chosen to attend the showcase will be released on Thursday (July 11th) as planned.”

However, Kim Junsu’s representatives stated, “Kim Junsu has a packed schedule planned, which includes going overseas to film a CF, as well as a concert in Thailand. However, the reason why we decided to hold this showcase was to introduce Kim Junsu’s music to the public. We prepared this free-of-charge showcase because we wanted to show Kim Junsu’s performance to the public through MelonTV because broadcasted activities are difficult for us.”

They also added, “This is a showcase our agency is paying for, but if it cannot be aired on MelonTV, there is no reason for the showcase to only be open to Melon users. We have requested a reply to this from Loen by tonight (July 9th). If this problem is not resolved by then, our agency will take the initiative to invite fans ourselves, and it would only be right for the Melon users event to be cancelled.”

[TRANS] 130709 [C-JeS] A Letter Of Plea Regarding Loen Entertainment’s Unlawful Tyranny

Posted on by
Reply

 [Trans] 130709 [C-Jes] A letter of Plea Regarding Loen Entertainment’s Unlawful Tyranny

Hello.

 

This is C-JeS Entertainment.

 

C-JeS Entertainment (henceforth known as C-JeS) has received a sudden and unilateral notification from Loen Entertainment (henceforth known as Loen), the online and offline distributor of XIA (Junsu)’s second solo album that is scheduled to be released on the 15th of July. We would like to notify the fans and the public of the current unlawful situation.

 

C-JeS and Loen came to a verbal decision on the online and offline distribution contract for XIA (Junsu)’s second album, and came to an agreement to work together.

 

Afterwards, the representatives in charge met over five times and exchanged over 50 e-mails to work on the distribution of XIA (Junsu)’s second album. Ahead of the album’s release on the 15th, C-JeS rand Loen came to a final decision last week on the following promotional marketing strategies. (1. Showcase for Melon users, and the broadcast of the even live on MelonTV 2. Participation in a Melon Special Video 3. Promotional marketing strategies for the distribution of music to 5 online music sites)

However, we were sent a unilateral notification by Loen last night that overturned all of the previous agreements that had been made. Loen stated, “Though we will be distributing XIA (Junsu)’s music both online and offline. We have decided to nullify all other promotional marketing strategies.” Loen continued to state, “Please be understanding of this as it is a decision made within the company. Although the Melon users’ showcase will be aired live on LoenTV, it will be impossible to disclose the event on Melon.”

However, the idea of the showcase was first brought up by Loen. Through offline meetings and exchanged e-mails in June, Loen stated, “If C-JeS Entertainment holds a showcase with Loen, this will bring in more publicity for the album as it will be advertised on Melon and Melon’s mobile application,” and presented the offer of holding a showcase event. We accepted their explanation and came to the final decision to hold the showcase event with Loen, instead of a major portal site. Before sending an official announcement regarding the showcase to the press on the 3rd of July, we shared the content of the announcement with Loen and at the time, Loen stated, “We would like for information about LoenTV and MelonTV to be included.” We accepted this and implemented their suggestion before releasing the information. However, notifying us that it is impossible to disclose of the event on Melon, and that the event will be aired on Loen TV due to decisions made by those within the company, six days before the actual event itself, is in our opinion, tyranny by a super power.

Also, Loen’s statement that they will nullify all promotional marketing strategies while distributing the album online and offline, which comes a mere six days before the release date, is like saying that they will gain the profits from XIA (Junsu)’s fans but will not take on the responsibilities of the distributor of XIA (Junsu)’s second solo album.

For the past two months, Loen has had hands-on staff working on the distribution of XIA (Junsu)’s second album, and in the case of ’11 o’clock’ from XIA (Junsu)’s second album, they created a special clip and pre-released the track, also providing distribution services on iTunes. Although these actions were not laid out in a contract, they were agreed upon in an ‘actions first, contract later’ form, which can be proved through the countless e-mails, text messages and phone conversations between the two parties.

However, after the pre-release on the 2nd, the promotional banner for the showcase that was agreed upon through various e-mails and meetings has disappeared from the main page of both the PC and mobile version of Melon from the 4th of July. Although the teaser of XIA (Junsu)’s music video was released yesterday (8th), no banners or any other forms of promotion have been seen for it. Banners for other artistes working with Loen who released songs in a similar time period as XIA (Junsu) can be seen on Melon’s website and mobile application, but only XIA (Junsu)’s contents have disappeared from all main Melon pages since the 4th.

After receiving the notification from Loen last night, C-JeS’ album production team sent Loen an official document expressing their strong opposition to Loen’s actions, outlining that Loen’s plans of distributing the album without promoting or marketing is like killing the contents of the album, and that sending a notification 6 days before the release date of the album is an act of tyranny that stops us from creating a contract with better conditions. However, Loen’s answer has not changed since their initial notification.

What we can say for sure is that we have been suffering from the unseen and relentless external pressure placed upon JYJ till now, and we will not work with a super power who acts in a tyrannical nature. We will be filing a civil complaint to the Fair Trade Commission and the Ombudsman of Korea in order to bring justice to the current situation of Loen attempting to unilaterally terminate the agreements between two companies by abusing their advantaged position as a distribution company.

Also, if Loen does not reaffirm their promise to air the showcase live on MelonTV by today, we will terminate our decision with Loen to open the showcase to Melon users, and instead open seats up to a first-come-first-serve basis and air the event live through C-JeS’ official YouTube channel. We would like to apologize to the fans for such unfortunate news, and we promise to do our best to make the work behind the showcase and music distribution as smooth as possible.

I’m kind of terrified, yet excited for this song :P


(Junsu, 5:01pm KST) It seems as though there are a lot of people who are curious about.. Isn’t this song funny..~

(Junsu, 5:04pm KST) If I were to describe this song.. Although every single staff member tried to stop me and told me that this wasn’t what I should be doing.. I didn’t step down from my decision and sang with a straight face. Even now, I find myself wondering, is this really okay? I feel.. nervous .. But I have pride in this song. lol

(Junsu, 5:07pm KST) When you hear this song.. forget that it’s me and just listen to it..^^ Because music is meant to be a creation of the freedom to express oneself~

[Trans] 130703 Kim Junsu Proves His Vocal Talent With A ‘Les Miserables’-esque Music Video

junemvloen

JYJ’s Kim Junsu, seen as the greatest vocalist amongst idol groups, has released a one-take live music video, the first of its kind in Korea, and proved the power of his vocal talent yet again.

Having pre-released ’11 o’clock, its adequacy’, an acoustic ballad track from Kim Junsu’s upcoming second solo album, Kim Junsu worked with LoenTV to create a special video. Differentiated from most music videos that have a pre-recorded audio track added to the video, Kim Junsu created his music video by recording his singing voice on set.

In order to create the best video possible and accentuate the emotions carried by his voice, Kim Junsu sang the song from beginning to end in one take, unlike most videos that cut up the song into sections and record the music video in many takes.

Kim Junsu wore a special microphone with his outfit, as well as an in-ear in his left ear while filming the music video. A piano instrumental began playing halfway through the song in the in-ear and till then, he had been singing without any background music.

The production crew explained that the music video was created in a similar way as the musical movie ‘Les Miserables’, which recorded all the voices live on set to maximize the emotions expressed by the actors.

The music video was filmed near the coast in Daebu-do, Ansan. The equipment was set up at 6am and filming began at 7am. Kim Junsu sang the song from beginning to end three times, and filming ended in a mere hour.

A representative of LoenTV stated, “We filmed the music video live in one take because we wanted to portray Kim Junsu’s emotions and vocal tone. His melodious but plaintive voice fused with the sound of birds and the wind to create a fantasy atmosphere.”

[Trans] 130701 [JYJ MW] Part 3: Seeing JYJ’s Fan Expo Through Numbers

– 17,000 participants, an economic impact of 10 billion Won, a commercialization of 0 Won
– Said to have created a new business domain

jyjartgallerymembershipweek

A scene from the art gallery of the JYJ fan expo

JYJ held their ’2013 JYJ Membership Week’ fan expo from the 27th till the 30th of June at SETEC in Seoul. The ‘JYJ Membership Week’ is a large-scale fan expo held by C-JeS Entertainment for those signed up for the JYJ membership program.

The reason why JYJ’s fan expo has garnered so much attention is because it has shifted the paradigm away from that of fanmeets, concerts and handshake events held by other entertainment agencies. They haven’t stopped at just singing and acting, but they have also utilized artwork and technology to create various attractions for fans. JYJ began their fan expos last year and have placed their focus on new projects and creating a connection with their fans. They have received positive feedback for creating a new economically innovative paradigm for the Hallyu culture.

# 0

The ’2013 JYJ Membership Week’ event refused all offers from corporations and public institutions, and did not sell any MD goods. C-JeS Entertainment created an event with ’0 Won’ commercialization, with free fanmeets and art galleries. C-JeS Entertainment stated, “With the growth of Hallyu comes the need for new contents. By providing events such as free fanmeets, we have created a space for JYJ to spend time with their fans without a commercialized aspect, creating a stronger loyalty from fans and increasing JYJ’s value.”

# 3000

JYJ took the 3,000 pyeong space at SETEC, located in Daechi-dong, Seoul, and created three different spaces to share JYJ-related contents and JYJ’s own artwork.

The first area held a fanmeet open to fans chosen through a lottery system. The second area was a Media Facade square that featured a media facade, cafeteria and a sticker photo zone. The third area was an art gallery and concert hall that featured artwork created by JYJ and a screening of JYJ’s Tokyo Dome concert.

#17000

The ’2013 JYJ Membership Week’ event was attended by 17,000 fans. Thanks to the 4,000 Japanese fans who were visiting Korea for the event, Myeongdong’s Lotte Hotel experienced a rare treat. The shopping districts that had been suffering due to the depreciation of the Yen and the decrease of Japanese tourists were smiling once again thanks to these fans. It was later said that the Japanese fans also embarked on a tour that took them around Myeongdong and Gangnam. During the ’2012 JYJ Membership Week’ event, JYJ’s agency C-JeS Entertainment rented 3,500 hotel rooms in Seoul, Incheon and Suwon, and prepared 250 buses and 300 guides for Japanese fans attending the event. It was stated that this year’s event included similar preparations. Last year’s event attracted a total of 22,000 fans, including 7,024 Japanese fans, to break the record of the most foreigners flying to Korea to attend a single event.

#10 billion

The ’2013 JYJ Membership Week’ event is said to have created an extraordinary secondary economic impact because of the 4,000 Japanese fans who visited Korea for four days for the event. Although no commercial activity took place in the JYJ fan expo, the amount of money spent by fans on food and shopping is said to be around 10 billion Won. Last year’s ’2012 JYJ Membership Week’ event had overseas fans staying for three days and even if the lowest costs are taken into consideration, around 500,000 Won if each fan required eight meals during their stay in Korea, it can be estimated that each fan spent around 2 million Won, including the money they spent on their shopping expenditures. CEO Baek Chang Joo of C-JeS Entertainment stated, “We will be donated all the money raised through an auction of JYJ’s artwork, and we will keep creating spaces for stars and their fans to connect and become one.”

(9:45am KST) Though I ended up basically living in the recording studio, I was really happy while preparing my second album. I hope that you will be able to feel that happiness~~~
