[Trans] 110803 [Interview #2] Kim Jaejoong, “What Do Junsu-Yoochun Mean To Me? They Are The Reason I Live”

Kim Jaejoong is cold? Prim? Quiet? If that’s what you thought of him, we ask you to forget that Kim Jaejoong, trapped by the image of an ice prince.

◆Kim Jaejoong is an ice prince? … “Though I may look cold, I have a hidden approachability”

Contrary to his cold and distant appearance, Kim Jaejoong boasts an approachable character and many personal connections. Popular Japanese group W-inds’ Keita and Yamashita Tomohisa, one of Japan’s greatest idols, have both revealed that they are close friends with Kim Jaejoong, bringing their friendships into the spotlight.

When we brought up the fact that Yamashita Tomohisa said, “I want to release an album with Jaejoong,” Kim Jaejoong smiled and said, “It’s just a passing comment. He always says things like that,” and showed off his close friendship with the Japanese celebrity. What interested many was the fact that Kim Jaejoong returned from the ‘Park Ji Sung and Friends’ soccer tournament in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam with a new friend, soccer star Jung Tese. The two frequently talk on Twitter and have kept their tight friendship alive till now.

What is the secret to his ‘amazing sociability’? Kim Jaejoong said, “It’s kind of weird for me to call it ‘amazing sociability’, but I think I’m the type of person who has an appearance that most people feel unfamiliar with,” and “If people like me approach others first and we get to know each other, I think we become friends quicker. There are many times when people are surprised because I don’t act the way they expected me to, and we end up talking and becoming friends.“

He smiled and continued to say, “I wouldn’t call it approaching them first, but it’s more like trying to be the first to say hi. There won’t be anyone who will refuse to greet you back if you initiate it first,” and “There have been lots of people who told me that I’m very different from what they thought I would be like.”

◆What is JYJ to Kim Jaejoong? “I live for Junsu and Yoochun”

There are two names that make Kim Jaejoong smile brighter. They are none other than his fellow members Kim Junsu and Park Yoochun. Whenever their names came out during our conversation, Kim Jaejoong tended to smile and laugh more.

Kim Jaejoong is registered as a member of FC MEN, of which Kim Junsu is the captain. But Kim Jajeoong has yet to step foot on the pitch. Regarding this, Kim Jaejoong jested and said, “I participate only in name. The captain put in our names as Yoochun and Jaejoong the soccer players but he’s never once used us in a match.” He burst into laughter after setting an attack on Kim Junsu as he said, “We’re nothing but a promotional strategy.”

At the end of his spell of laughter, Kim Jaejoong said, “But I love Junsu,” putting a sweet end to his tale and showing his affection for his fellow member.

Kim Jaejoong is the oldest of the three members of JYJ. But he depends on his younger members as much as they rely on him. When this interview took place, Kim Jaejoong was suffering hard from the sudden cancellation of JYJ’s appearance on a Jeju special program.

We asked Kim Jaejoong what got him back on his feet when he was worn out, tired and wanted to quit. And this brought us straight back to his members.

“Of course, it’s our members. I think it would have been too hard if I had been walking down this road alone. It’s only possible because I’m with Junsu and Yoochun. We split our pains in three and share our gains equally in three. I want to place great meaning on the fact that we are together, no matter what we do. The same goes with our fans and staff members.“

What do the two members mean to Kim Jaejoong? He wasn’t able to answer this question easily and thought about it for quite a while. After much thought and consideration, he turned the place into a sea of laughter when he parodied a commercial as he stated, “Ah, they’re great. But I can’t think of a way to pinpoint what they mean to me exactly.” When the laughter died out, Kim Jaejoong gave us his sincere confession.

“Actually, it’s hard to explain what those two people are in my life because they mean so much to me. Nothing can compare to them. They’re kind of like my arms in a way. You can’t live without both arms, right? Like that, I’m able to live because I have both of them by my side.”

His voice seemed to shake and his throat clammed up as he expressed what he felt about his two younger members, Kim Junsu and Park Yoochun. But soon, Kim Jaejoong found his cheer once more as he discussed the right arm, left arm and body of JYJ.

The name of Kim Jaejoong’s first domestic drama is ‘Protect the Boss’. So what would Kim Jaejoong like to protect?

“I want to protect and carry on the relationship that I have with our members right now. And I want to cherish and protect all the music, performances and memories from our debut till now. And I want to keep as many of our fans around as possible (T/N: He’s using the double meaning of the word, which could mean keep or protect, depending on the context. This explains the laughter at the end).(laughter)”

[Trans] 110803 [Interview #1] Kim Jaejoong, “The Devaluation Of Idols Saddens Me.. I Want To Be An Idol Forever

”There is a man who was an idol, is an idol and wants to stay an idol in the future. It’s quite hard to define this man with just one word. Holding the representative title as a singer, he has even taken on directing and acting.

Though he gives off the air of a ChaDoNam(Cold City Guy), he spits out a charming dialect that makes him approachable. Beneath the face that bursts into fits of laughter at even the smallest of statements lies a strong heart that isn’t afraid of challenges, and his sincere honesty that has matured through time comes through in everything he says. The name of this man is Kim Jaejoong.

◆Kim Jaejoong’s new challenge ‘Acting’… “There are no limits”

Kim Jaejoong has stood in front of a new starting line to cross the hurdles of acting. Taking on the role of ‘the prince of the financial world’ Cha Mu Won in SBS’ new Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Protect the Boss’, Kim Jaejoong seemed nervous yet excited for his domestic drama debut.

When we talked about the fact that his senior actors praised him for his work, Kim Jaejoong’s strong and wide shoulders suddenly shrunk inwards. Asking back, “Maybe I’m about to make it big?” Kim Jaejoong soon burst out into laughter and covered his face as he did so. Saying, “I’m so grateful. I think they rephrased their hope for me to work harder than I already am in their words,” Kim Jaejoong scratched his head as if he felt embarrassed by the compliments.

Though he already has some acting experience in his pocket, this will be Kim Jaejoong’s first time acting in a domestic drama. He must be more nervous than ever since this will be the first time he’s meeting his domestic viewers through a drama. And a harsher criterion may be placed on Kim Jaejoong as he has already put forth his name and face as a singer for the past seven years.

Kim Jaejoong said, “I could never say ‘I’d like it if I got a huge amount of praise.’ I just want to give our viewers a production in which I show great chemistry with my fellow actors,” and “My biggest goal is to become someone who works in harmony with the drama, not someone who carries on the image that I’ve had till now as a singer.”

He also added, “I want to be a person who can take on any challenge and absorb everything, as the individual Kim Jaejoong and as a member of JYJ. My goal is to become a person with no limits and a group with no limits.“

◆Idol label? “I want to be an idol forever”

Any person who made his or her debut as an idol always has the ‘idol’ label on them wherever the go. Some are embarrassed by it and try to hide their idol status while others strive to evolve from an idol to an artiste. Between this two sides stands Kim Jaejoong with his own beliefs about idols.

“I like being called an idol. Wouldn’t it be more stressful if you debuted as a singer-song writer but then wanted to become an idol? (laughter) Many people have prejudiced thoughts when it comes to idols but when I see my juniors these days, there are so many of them who could succeed as solo singers. They all do so well so it I don’t think it’s right to keep them tied to a stereotyped belief based on the name or appearance of their group.“

Kim Jaejoong expressed his disappointment at the devaluation of idols as well. He confessed his truthful thoughts and said, “Idols are actually at a position where they can try out more things than the usual singer. I see it as a job that you can gain more from when you compare it to other jobs as a celebrity.”

He continued to say, “The members of JYJ are now getting into our late 20s but we’re still idols, and we’ll probably still call ourselves idols, even when we reach our 30s,” and “Aren’t the Backstreet Boys and SMAP called idols too?”

Kim Jaejoong smiles shyly one second and states his opinions concisely the next; we can’t wait for the new acting challenge of this man.

[Trans] 110805 What Is The Reason For JYJ’s Thrice Continuous Success in Drama OST?

Kim Junsu has participated in SBS drama OST “Scent Of A Woman Part 2″ and when it was released on the 5th of August at various online music stores, it was immediately well-received on the various sites.

On the 5th afternoon, Kim Junsu’s “You are so beautiful” attained the no. 1 spot on the music charts of Dosirak, Daum music etc. The appearance of Kim Junsu as the female lead’s fancied world-renowned idol and the participation in the OST have created a hot topic. In June, the OST “The Empty Space Left For You” that JYJ’s Park Yoochun sang for MBC ‘Miss Ripley’ has garnered attention and gained the no. 1 spot on all the music sites’ chart. Together with the song playing in the drama, it enjoyed great popularity.

Additionally in ‘Sungkyunkwan Scandal’ where Park Yoochun received the Baeksang Arts’ New Actor award for, JYJ sang the OST “Found You” and received exceptional sales record, proving their popularity. Right now in SBS ‘Protect The Boss’, it was known that Kim Jaejoong who is acting as Cha Mu Won in the drama, will be participating in the drama OST and continuing JYJ’s OSTs streak of power.

The management representative of the drama production team has expressed that, “JYJ’s heartfelt way of singing, upon blending into the feelings of the drama, has enormously helped a lot. Especially when the actual singer appeared in the drama, that energy will positively influenced the whole drama. It is difficult to see JYJ in broadcasting music shows and it is very regretful to be unable to receive the direct reactions for the OST’s popularity on stage. But when the song was released, the every-time explosive reactions would helped the drama’s broadcasting and from the point of view as a producer, this is a lucky wild card.”

EDITORS NOTE Kim Junsu’s Cameo Appearance in “Scent Of A Woman”

Editors Note: Kim Junsu’s Cameo Appearance in “Scent of A Woman”

First of all, it would have been nice to hear “I Can Soar” in its entirety”. I sincerely love this song. “Intoxication” is not my bent and I have never said anything different. Junsu has many facets to his personality and sometimes he can surprise you, or at least me. 😉

The joy that I got from watching June’s cameo appearance in “Scent of A Woman” was that ability he has to laugh at himself. His rapport with the audience was fun to watch, especially because you know that this is in fact a reality for him. While on the dinner date–the inferences as to what made Lee Yoon Jae love him were facetiously, wittingly, but adorably said. Junsu could sense her pain and sang a love song to try to ease it if he could.

Kim Junsu is a brilliant actor because of his musical talent, energy, and improvisational ability. He thinks on his feet and ingenious words come out spontaneously. Combining his singing with acting is a natural talent. Junsu could sing the fly out of the old woman. “You Are So Beautiful” brings tears to my eyes.

Less anyone assume that I am saying that Junsu did not put his all into this appearance, oh contrare’. Kim Junsu is a sincere, hard worker at anything he does. He takes pride in his endeavors, and this was a refreshing addition to this deeply moving drama. My love goes out to you, sweetheart. I promise to watch this again.

Translation 110801 Why Did C-JeS Decline An Appearance On A ‘JYJ’ Special Program’?

[Trans] 110801 Why Did C-JeS Decline An Appearance On A ‘JYJ Special Program’?

‘Lee Giho’s Police Cop’ of the internet broadcasting program Radio21, which became a hot topic for giving birth to the new word ‘SoTamJaeShil(To desire Girls’ Generation and lose JYJ in the process)’, has been receiving great support from its listeners.

Last weekend, Enterpost met with a representative of the program to listen to the interesting behind-the-scenes stories. Apparently, the special program was not on the schedule; it was made and added to the schedule in a rush when Reporter Lee Giho, who has been keeping an eye on the JYJ issue, proposed its creation after coming to the conclusion that ‘Unjust forces have been applied on this issue’ when KBS suddenly cancelled JYJ’s appearance on the ‘Jeju’s 7 Natural Wonders of the World nomination commemoration program’.

As if it were taking its aim at KBS’s special program, the radio show took place for two hours from 4pm. It was scheduled so for strategic purposes, pacifying the anger of JYJ’s fans, who would have otherwise had to watch as girl groups with hot pants stood on the stage that their singers deserved to stand on.

There were some interesting behind-the-scenes stories regarding the casting of the participants. The first guest the program’s representatives attempted to reach was of course, ‘a JYJ representative’. This is because they were the victims most affected by KBS’ ‘brutality’.

When the program’s representative contacted C-JeS Entertainment, which acts as JYJ’s management agency, C-JeS expressed that it didn’t wish to appear on the program. They explained that though they agreed with the object of the program, there was a chance that their appearance on the program to reveal their stance may become an emotional battle. C-JeS turned down the offer and said, “We are cautious about appearing on the program as our actions may be interpreted as a ‘counterattack’. If we were to take action in such a way, what would make us so different from them(It’s easy for anyone to guess who ‘them’ are^^-editor)?”

And their final words moved the program’s representative greatly. “Though JYJ were not able to appear on KBS’ special program, they are still honorary ambassadors of Jeju’s 7 Natural Wonders of the World nomination. JYJ will continue to work hard to promote Jeju’s 7 Natural Wonders of the World nomination.”

Though a guest appearance by a representative of C-JeS didn’t occur, Radio21 was able to see their sincerity and instead met with Department Head Lee Jae Eun from Prain, the PR company of JYJ.

But even Lee Jae Eun confessed that she was experiencing a great amount of pressure from her appearance on the program. Though it was an interview that was conducted over the phone, the fact that the conversation was broadcasted live must have been pressure beyond one’s imagination. However, regardless of this pressure, Lee Jae Eun decided to appear on the program with the responsibility to correctly state the facts and process beneath the surface of the the issue for the listeners. She revealed many facts about the issue that had not been known before.

Though she was extremely busy, having stayed up the night before to monitor the last episode of Park Yoochun’s drama ‘Miss Ripley’ and to put the finishing touches on her work, Department Head Lee did her best to present the needed information and facts in a concise way.

The end product was a program that uncovered the hidden stories of a raging controversy that received an explosive response from netizens and fans alike. The public, not only fans of JYJ, was able to know the correct information behind the current issue that surrounds JYJ.

Meanwhile, C-JeS Entertainment has already reported KBS Jeju to the Fair Trade Commission for JYJ’s performance cancellation. But regardless of the outcome, KBS’ rash decision has lost the broadcasting company its moral image and trust. Will KBS ever be able to salvage its demolished image?
