[Trans] 120615 Kim Junsu, Listening To Favourite Music And Singing To Heart’s Content… Is There Such A Perfect Genre Still?

FOCUS 9th Anniversary Interview – ‘Nation’s Musical Actor’ Kim Junsu

He is currently no longer awkward with the term, “Musical Actor”. Though in the beginning, he joined without understanding the ‘music’ in musical well. However the more he indulged in it, the more he fell into the charm of musical. During the depiction of “The Last Dance” and “I Am My Music” at his first solo concert after the release of his first solo album, the feelings swelled up was not once or twice.

Though he is already one of the best idol, singer and musical actor, Kim Junsu was more than happy to welcome challenge. Musical is another beginning for him. Another stage for him to present his songs. “Is there such a perfect genre around? Listening to my favourite music, singing songs while living a life of different characters. Will it touched audience? All the actors and actresses and staffs… their simple and passionate love for musical is very admirable. So fantastic.”

It was not an easy decision. At that time, the prejudice against an idol standing on a musical stage was extreme. Besides, the conflicts with his ex-company had him struggling with the decision. Therefore it was no surpise that he rejected at first. “The burden was huge. At that time, I felt that I could not do it. But after that, I listened to the music from Mozart and truly loved those music. As I can relate the lines and lyrics to my situation, I get into the character easily when I was performing.”

Musical is a stage that gave me limitless inspirations. If I were to say that a singer who’s on stage gained exhilaration and energy from the impromptu reactions (from the crowd), then for musical it’s the gaining of different reactions from the audience every different day and thereafter improving oneself for the next stage performance. This solo album is also inspired by musical.”

As an idol singer who succeeded as a musical actor, he is currently awaiting the next new challenge. He has been focusing on production and OSTs. With a strong determination character of finishing anything he started, he is not afraid of challenging new genres. He is also prepared with a mindset of ‘suffering bitterness’ ten times for the sake of ‘tasting sweetness’ once.

“I think that by not being complacent with current status and endlessly working hard to show a better self is ‘challenge’. Though it’s too early to do production now, but when time comes, I would want to challenge injecting other sentiments in OSTs. I think that happiness is not attaining what I dreamt of but to be thankful for what I’m having right now. Thus I am feeling happy right now and thus wish to try other challenges.”

Kim Junsu is a soccer player?

The mind analysis for Kim Junsu is very simple. 50% of music and 50% of soccer. It will be 100% music when he’s making music and 100% soccer when he’s on the soccer field. His love for soccer is almost on par with his love for music. “(You) should know right? I am in celebrity team, FC MEN. I really like to play soccer and thus would meet up with friends to chat and play soccer to relieve stress. Such kind of normal life activities are very precious. In the past, I do not even had the time to drink a cup of tea with my friends. It was like running on a wheel, constantly working. Right now when I’m tired, I will try to find simple pleasures in life.”

To Focus: Congratulations on your 9th anniversary ^^
(T/N: He signed off as ‘Musical Actor Kim Junsu’)

[TRANS] 120611 JYJ’s Junsu, Album Sales Ranked The Highest For Any Solo Artist Since The Gaon Charts Were Established

 JYJ’s Kim Junsu (XIA)’s first solo album since his debut has been producing shocking results.

On 11 June, C-Jes Entertainment expressed, “The sales for Kim Junsu’s solo album “XIA-Tarantallegra” surpassed 120,000 copies last week, and has set the highest record on the Gaon Chart cumulative sales charts since the charts began.

Management personnel of the Gaon charts expressed, “It is the highest sales recorded for a solo album since the Gaon charts began. Although there have not been broadcast activities, as it is an album with a variety of genres, aside from the original fans, there are also many cases of new fans going into shops looking for the album.”

In addition, Kim Junsu’s solo album has also been very popular in China. Kim Junsu’s “XIA-Tarantallegra” ranked number 1 on the YinYueTai charts for the month of May.

CEO Baek Chang Ju of Kim Junsu’s management agency, C-Jes Entertainment, stated, “The restrictions in terms of television broadcast promotions were expected, so we chose a straightforward approach. We produced a full-length album with 12 tracks, and set producing a perfect full concert as our goal, by working with a top choreographer from America. Also, we spared no expense to produce a high-quality MV, which brought much success. I think that it was only made possible because of the trust in the artist (Kim Junsu).”

On another note, Kim Junsu released the dance version MV of “XIA-Tarantallegra” at 2pm on 11 June via the official Youtube channel.

[News] 120611 JYJ’s Jun Su sells over 0.12 million copies of his solo album and tops the Gaon Chart

[News] 120611 JYJ’s Jun Su sells over 0.12 million copies of his solo album and tops the Gaon Chart

JYJ’s Jun Su has sold over 0.12 million copies of his first solo album and topped the Gaon Chart.

On June 11, a spokesperson for Jun Su reported, “The total number of copies of Xia’s Tarantallegra sold exceeded 120,000 last week. It was the largest number for a solo album according to the Gaon Chart.”

A spokesperson for Gaon Chart says, “It was the largest number of copies sold for a solo album. Xia hasn’t appeared on TV much but many people, including Xia’s existing fans, have asked for the album as it’s a high-quality album that includes various different genres.”

Jun Su’s music video is also very popular in China.

The music video of Tarantallegra, which attracted wide attention in Korea with its sensational images, topped the May’s chart of the Yuetai Chart, the biggest music video site in China.

 

One of the record executives says, “Because people in China cannot connect to YouTube and Twitter, their own music video site does the job instead. The fact that Jun Su has topped the Yuetai Chart means a lot because he beat Super Junior and SNSD-Tae Ti Seo who have actively promoted their albums.”

In addition, Jun Su is successfully making his concert tour in Asia now. All 15,000 tickets for his concert held at Jamsil Gymnasium in May were sold out in only ten minutes, and all tickets for his concerts held in Thailand, Indonesia, and Taiwan were also sold out.

C-jes Entertainment, Jun Su’s agency, says, “We didn’t plan to promote the album on TV. Instead, we tried to create a high-quality full-length album that includes twelve songs and to plan a perfect concert with the best choreographer from the U.S. We invested a lot in the music video of ‘Tarantallegra’ and it was successful. We think it was possible because we were confident about the artist’s talent.”

C-jes will release the choreography version of the music video of “Tarantallegra” on its official YouTube channel on June 11 at 2:00 p.m.

[Fanaccount] 120604 JYJ for NII Fan Party

[Fanaccount] 120604 JYJ for NII Fan Party

I still need to write my Junsu fansign fan accounts but I’m procrastinating on doing my homework right now so oops~

I arrived at the Lotte Department Store at 영등포 about forty-five minutes before the event started. I started to get in line and then I look at the woman behind me and I see she has a ticket. She looks at me, and sees that I don’t have a ticket, and says (rather snarkily), “You need a ticket to get in. Don’t you have a ticket? Winners pick it up from the NII store.” Anyways I start to get kind of panicky because I don’t have a ticket, so I explain to the guard I got my merchandise online, and showed him my text message confirming that I won along with my ID, and he said that it’s fine and I’m good to go. Hah! Take that rude lady!

I get closer to the door and theres a man holding a paper bag, and I see people pulling bits of paper from the bag. I close my eyes and draw out a piece of paper from the bag, and I have number 33. I wasn’t sure what it ment, so I wander around and see a group of fans writing notes for the boys on post-its and sticking it to a board. On mine, I tell them that even though I can’t speak Korean well, their music has made me so happy throughout the years, and that I will always love and support them no matter what.

 

 Soon it’s time to go in, and I go into the event hall and find out the numbers we drew are actually our seat numbers and I just about wet myself because I drew 33 out of about 500 people, meaning I was in the second row and about 3m from the stage. They are playing the Making Of for the latest NII CF in the background.

Soon, two MCs come out and start talking to the crowd. TBH I don’t really know whats going on but I know they say they’re giving away the cardboard standees that are on the stage, and some other items as well as hugs and handshakes from the boys. And then the two MCs walk to the side of the stage and suddenly the boys start talking with their mics, but we can’t see because they are still offstage.

 Then the boys come out, and everyone bursts into screams and applauds. Junsu (wearing a blue NII shirt) is sitting closest to me, then Jaejoong (wearing a white NII shirt), and then Yoochun (wearing a grey NII shirt) is farthest ;_; (but still really close).

Also I might be crazy but I’m pretty sure Yoochun kept staring at me. Like not just glancing at me but we would make eye contact for at least 10 seconds before I would have to cover my face with my hands from blushing or look away to Jaejoong or Junsu. He did this a few times >//< I guess I really stood out? haha

So I honestly can’t remember which of these two events happened first but they ask the people in the audience wearing the same shirts as JYJ to stand up. Then, they bring the girls up on stage. The girl wearing the same shirt as Yoochun gets a back hug from him, and she covers her face while he does it because she’s so shy haha. Jaejoong had four people wearing the same shirt as him, and they each got a hug. Junsu had two girls, and they both got hugs and got to take polaroids with Junsu!

Then, they bring out the boards with the post-its and they start picking out ones to read. Like I said, I can’t speak Korean really well but I THINK Jaejoong might have picked off mine and gave it to Yoochun saying something like, “Here, this one is English, you can read it” but Yoochun laughed and took it but didn’t read it aloud so I guess I’ll never know ;_; It might be just wishful thinking.

Then, the boys drew a number from the box, and whatever number he drew the whole row got to go up and get a handshake from them… It was a row from the back this time though ;_;

At one point Yoochun started saying something (I think I remember it as “What I really like is…” and then he trailed off) and one girl shouted “헐!”. Yoochun looked at her and said, “헐?!… 대박…”

During the fanmeet, I was tweeting what was going on, so sometimes I wasn’t giving my 100% attention or not looking at the stage. While I’m tweeting about the above event, suddenly I feel a tap on my shoulder and hear “STAND UP!”, and I look around and see everyone else in the audience is standing up. I stand up and the MCs and pointing at me and still saying playfully, “STAND UP! STAND UP PLEASE! THANK YOU” and JYJ are looking right at me and grinning so I smile and give a thumbs up and say sorry! Haha I’m glad JYJ noticed me but not exactly the way I wanted to get noticed haha ;_;

Anyways they played a game where if you were wearing a certain item of clothing/were a certain type of person, you had to sit down. They asked questions like, “If you are single…”, “If you are wearing a ring…”, “If you aren’t wearing any makeup…”. They played this three different times and each winner got a bottle of perfume/cologne signed by one of the boys. Yoochuns girl got a hug from him, and Jaejoong wrote what I swear was a novel on his perfume bottle. He wrote on the edges and cap and everything haha. Junsu even initiated the hug with his girl ;o;

They start having a short chat session (which the girl beside me was kind enough to translate small bits of), and they bring up how Junsu was so shy during the latest NII photoshoot because of the girl, and he kept blushing a lot and couldn’t even touch her because he was so shy haha. Idk how much of it I believe because Junsu certainly showed his not-so-innocent side during his latest comeback haha ^^

Then, they tell us to check under our chairs. There are three chairs with pieces of paper taped to them and the winners got one of the cardboard standees. One winner was a girl in front of me, and the other two were somewhere in the back of the crowd.

They have another number drawing where a row of people (from the back again!) get to go up and get handshakes ;_; They have another talk and Jaejoong says how JYJ doesn’t wear the shoe inserts to make you taller because they are already tall enough haha. Yoochun also said how Jaejoong is working so hard for his drama and he even has to go to a shooting right after the event.

Soon after, the event comes to a close and the boys take a photo together with a NII banner, while the guards are trying to shield fans from taking photos of the boys haha. Outside of the hall, ladies that one the cardboard standees were kind enough to let us take photos of them ^^

I really hope this isn’t he only time I’m able to see all three of them together. I’m going home in a few weeks (or I might extend my stay until mid-August!), so I hope there’s another opportunity to see them, especially Yoochun! ;D

thanks a lot @yooCHUNSA
