Editors Note: Deja Vu–We Have Been Here Before

Here we go again. Just when you think that things are getting better and you start to breathe a little easier–there comes the blow. This has happened over and over again; and I believe that the fans had relaxed into thinking that the major hurdles were over for JYJ. In reality they have just begun.

Before there was the problem with censorship, denial of contracts, and etcetera, while under the protection of the court system. Now, without the courts, those who have a problem with JYJ and their management are going to feel free to do unlawful things with no thought of repercussion. The problem is that there is no such thing as without repercussion from a fanbase as large as JYJ’s. and individually as large as Jaejoong’s, Yoochun’s, and Junsu’s.

Even if there were a totally justifiable reason for Loen’s actions, it is morally wrong to cancel such important promotional aspects of the contract so close to the release date that it impeeds the marketing, sales, and promotion of Junsu’s album.

There have been so many reasons put out there over time as to why JYJ couldn’t be given opportunities to engage with the mass public. It in now at a point where it all points to harassment. It is not right to wield power simply because you can–power is in doing the right thing so that you may support what will be beneficial to everyone..Unfortunately, it appears as if the fandom is going to have to step up to the plate and bat the ball once again. The fight is not over.

We all must be diligent to pay attention and care enough about the Boys and the music to fight for it, and their responsibility is to produce quality, appealing music for us to enjoy.. If it comes down to C-jes using the JYJ Youtube Channel to promote–we’ll be there.  Always Keep The Faith!!!

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

 [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~

pfffft

[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

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.”

– A large-scale introduction of new technology through the fanmeet and art gallery… second movers emerge

A moment from the free fanmeet of the JYJ fan expo

The ’2013 JYJ Membership Week’ fan expo created new economically innovative contents, using JYJ’s singing and acting as its basis. At the center of it lies IT technology and the mindset of creating fan service that communicates with fans. Aya (Female, 24), who participated in the event, said, “I liked the JYJ art gallery because it showcased artwork created by the members and allowed us to connect with their emotions. The various artwork on display made me feel like they were with me the whole time.” A blogger who visited the fan expo commented, “I walked through a tunnel of screens that expressed JYJ’s words of welcome through videos. I didn’t know this at the time because I was lost in the videos, but an audio track was played to sync with the video messages.”

# vs Concert

JYJ’s fan expo screened footage from JYJ’s recent concert instead of holding an actual concert. Fans could attend a screening by reserving a seat beforehand at the ticket booth, and the concert was shown up to nine times a day at the Concert Hall section of the expo.

 

The concert hall had a large screen, surround sound system and an extravagant lighting set that mirrored an actual concert stage. Footage from JYJ’s Tokyo Dome concert in April was shown, giving Korean fans an opportunity to watch a 10,500 Yen (approximately 124,000 Won) Japanese concert for free.

# vs Fanmeet

A fanmeet with JYJ was held on the 29th and 30th for members who had been chosen through a lottery system. JYJ met, talked and played games with 4,000 fans across the two days. JYJ did their best in all of the programs to create happy memories for their fans, and added performances by the group and each member to complete a fanmeet that lasted over two hours. JYJ stated, “We’re so happy that this has become a festival for us to have fun and create new memories, and we’ll repay your love with more activities. We truly feel the love you give us, and we hope this will become an opportunity for the fans to feel our sincerity.”

JYJ’s fans met JYJ for free, without having to pay an entry free or buy MD goods. Through a gift coupon service, fans were able to exchange coupons for drinks, snacks, and various goods. Fans (official members) who were unable to attend the fanmeet will be sent a free DVD of the fanmeet and the event did not accept any gifts or wreaths.

# vs Art Gallery

JYJ’s fan expo featured a Media Facade (A fusion of ‘Facade’ and ‘Media’, in which media is heightened by LED lights shone on the side of walls)and an art gallery that featured artwork created by the members of JYJ.

The main feature of JYJ’s fan expo was that JYJ participated from beginning to end, starting with the planning process. Taking JYJ’s opinions into consideration, the fan expo incorporated a humanistic aspect to IT technology and large-scale projects. In order to create a space to connect with fans, JYJ featured artwork they had created themselves through a ‘JYJ Art Gallery’ to add a more analogy aspect to their expo.

Lee Jae Eun, the head of the PR department of C-JeS Entertainment, stated, “The JYJ fan expo’s economically innovative ideas have become a hot topic in the entertainment industry, even becoming a model for other Korean entertainment businesses to follow,” and “It has given us the opportunity to create a new fanmeet culture that is being called a brand new kind of Hallyu service by fans.”

JYJ’s fan expo came to a close on the 30th of June.

JYJ’s fan expo, titled the ‘JYJ Membership Week’, was held for a total of four days from the 27th of June at SETEC in Seoul. A total of 17,000 fans from Korean and Japan visited the event. CEO Baek Chang Joo of C-JeS Entertainment, JYJ’s agency, stated, “We’ve created a space for artistes and fans to meet. Because we’ve wanted this event to be a long-running event from the moment it was first created, we tried to make it a place for JYJ and their fans to connect with each other.”

JYJ’s fan expo consisted of a ‘Media Facade Square’, that showcased a large fountain that played JYJ’s music and a cafeteria that provided free drinks, a ‘JYJ Art Gallery’ that showcased various artwork created by JYJ and included a space for fans to create their own, and a ‘Concert Hall’ that showed JYJ’s April Tokyo Dome concert to their fans for free. Photo zones were created for fans to take photos with JYJ, and 10 photo sticker booths were set up for fans to create special memories at the event.

jyjparadigmfanexpo1

A moment from the free fanmeet of the JYJ fan expo

The reason why JYJ’s fan expo, which has entered its second year, has garnered so much attention is because it has brought forth a new paradigm that differs from the fanmeets, concerts and handshake events of 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. Last year, they opened up the possibilities of commercializing IT technology by having the members of JYJ appearing through hologram videos. JYJ’s Membership Week has created a new term ‘fan expo’ and created attractions that showcase everything under the sun.

JYJ’s fan expo, which has shifted the paradigm in the industry, has also caused secondary economic effects. 4,000 Japanese fans arrived at Incheon and Gimpo Airports from the 27th of June to attend the expo. A representative of Lotte Hotel said, “Because of the depreciation of the Yen and the worsening relations of the two Koreas, the number of Japanese tourists in Korea has markedly decreased. The fact that 4,000 Japanese fans came to Korea to see JYJ is a surprising and welcomed event for the tourism industry.” Experts of the industry estimate that JYJ have brought an economic effect of 10 billion Won to Korea, if one considers the fact that each Japanese fan spent approximately 2 million Won each during their trip to Korea for the fan expo.”

C-JeS Entertainment stated, “We have tried to reduce the commercialization of the fan expo as much as possible by providing services such as the fanmeet and concert hall free of charge, as well as not selling any MD goods,” and “We tried to create a space for JYJ to connect with their fans more closely through the JYJ Membership Week.”

Kim Junsu was highly praised last year for creating the closest representation of Death that the original writer had intended. Receiving positive reviews from critics and audience alike, he won the Best Musical Actor Award at the 18th Korea Musical Awards. On the 1st, he released a teaser photo that showed him with dark hair and a mystical gaze.

Kim Junsu stated, “I decided to appear in ‘Elisabeth’ this year because I wanted to show the audience a newly interpreted and evolved Death.”

The musical ‘Elisabeth’ is a unique take on the beautiful Hapsburg empress Elisabeth. The fantasy character of Death has been added to the dramatic interpretation of the royal’s life, with a unique storyline of Death falling in love with the empress. With music created by Composer Sylvester Levay, who has also written the music for ‘Mozart!’ and ‘Rebecca’, the musical has been loved in Europe for over 20 years.

[TRANS] 130703 JYJ’s Junsu, His Ballad Tactics Have Worked… Unprecedented Results On Music Charts

june11oclockballad1

JYJ’s Kim Junsu released his new ballad ’11 o’clock, its adequacy’, which is garnering attention for successfully ranking high on various music charts.

Taking into consideration the fact that most male idol singers don’t do very well on online music charts, his feat of ranking high on various music charts with a ballad is extremely rare, and raises the anticipation for this second solo album.

’11 o’clock, its adequacy’ was released at noon on the 2nd and secured a spot in the top 5 rankings on Melon and Bugs today. What’s most surprising is that he was able to rank high with a ballad when hip-hop is the current craze with the return of Dynamic Duo.

Even his agency was extremely surprised by the results. They decided to push a ballad to showcase Kim Junsu’s vocal tone, but didn’t know that it would do so well on music charts, especially considering the fact that it wasn’t a OST buoyed by its drama. Many are surprised to see a ballad in the top 10 rankings these days.

This has increased the anticipation for Kim Junsu’s second solo album, which is set to be released on the 15th. His first solo album’s ‘Tarantallegra’ was not very approachable to the public, but this album has shifted a stronger focus on this aspect. Considering the fact that the title song’s genre has incorporated an element of hip-hop, which is snapping up top positions on music charts these days, the song is expected to be loved by fans and the public alike. With the number of acts who succeed without appearing on any broadcasted programs increasing, Junsu is ready to kick off his album and Asia Tour.

A representative of his agency stated, “We focused more on being approachable to the public with this upcoming album, and we’re all feeling very encouraged because the pre-released track is doing so well on music charts,” and “We hope that more people will be able to enjoy his solo album that will be released in two weeks.”

’11 o’clock, its adequacy’ is a song that expresses the sorrows of a man after a break up. The piano instrumental accentuates the emotions of Kim Junsu’s vocals and adds a dramatic element to the song, with a four seasons theme.

Kim Junsu recorded the whole song in one take and used only acoustic instruments to accentuate his charming tone. The special a cappella clip that was released on the same day as the music file has also garnered much attention for being filmed live in one take.
