junekimkwangseok
Two of the late Kim Kwang Seok’s unreleased songs were revealed for the first time ever on a television program.

SBS’ ’8 o’clock news’ aired a segment on the musical ‘December: The Song that Hasn’t Ended’, a production that was created to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Kim Kwang Seok’s birth. The segment also featured two unreleased songs of the late singer that have never been heard before.

 

‘December’ has been in the spotlight from the very beginning as the only musical to use Kim Kwang Seok’s songs, compositions and unreleased tracks. SBS’ news segment focused on this aspect of the musical, and aired footage of sheet music that Kim Kwang Seok wrote out by hand, touching the hearts of those who miss the late singer. Footage of Kim Junsu performing ‘December’ at last month’s showcase was aired as well, showcasing the sophisticated nature of the song.

 

Since the segment aired on the 13th, people who have already bought tickets for the production expressed their heightened anticipation for ‘December’. Many viewers expressed their delight over seeing Kim Junsu on a televised program for the first time in a while. Through an interview, Kim Junsu stated, “When I heard the song for the first time, I was shaking with excitement. I’m honored to be singing a song that the world has never heard before.”

 

Netizens who heard the news left supportive comments such as “Seeing Kim Kwang Seok’s keepsakes was great”, “I hope Kim Junsu’s version of ‘December’ will be released on online music sites soon”, and “Seeing them so focused on their rehearsals makes waiting till the 16th of December so hard.” The netizens’ support had the musical ranking high up on the search rankings of various portal sites.

 

‘December’, a heartwarming love story that takes place over twenty years, will open its curtains on the 16th of December at the Sejong Culture Centre.

[TRANS] 131103 We Now Understand Why Everyone Gets So Crazy About Kim Jaejoong (Concert Review)

Posted on by

jaeseoulwwwcoex

At 6pm on the 3rd of November, the Seoul leg of Kim Jaejoong’s ’1st Album Asia Tour Concert’ for his first full-length solo album ‘WWW: Who, When, Why’ was held at Hall D in COEX. Having been held across two days on the 2nd and 3rd of November, the concert attracted a total of 14,000 fans who became one with Kim Jaejoong.

He was off with a bang from the very start. The lights were turned off inside the venue and once the video began playing, fans turned on their red light sticks and created a sea of red. The singer had everyone gasping with the sheer scale and stage effects of his first performance of the night. When the music for ’9+1#’ began, all the fans got on their feet, something that usually only happens halfway through a normal concert. And it wasn’t just the people sitting in the front. Everyone, all the way to the back of the seating arrangement, got up. This is the power of Kim Jaejoong.

After his performance, Kim Jaejoong joked and had everyone laughing when he said, “There’s something different from last night. I even see someone wearing hanbok (traditional Korean attire)? The atmosphere is quite different from yesterday. Yesterday, people were just sitting, even during the more upbeat songs. Halfway through a song, I had to ask everyone to get up. I think most of the people in the audience yesterday were in their 40s to 70s. So thank you all for screaming and cheering so loudly tonight.”

Kim Jaejoong then moved on to performances of ‘Rotten Love’, ‘Kiss B’, ‘Now is Good’, ‘It Used to Be’, ‘Sunny Day’ with Lee Sang Gon (Noeul), and ‘Luvholic’ with Gummy. Kim Jaejoong also performed his personal favorites such as ‘Glamorous Sky’, a song composed by Japanese rock star Haido, and ‘Ultra Soul’, which was sung by Japanese group B’z, as well as ‘Makeup’, which he translated the lyrics of himself.

jaeseoulwwwcoex1

◆7+7 = Kim Jaejoong
Even from the very beginning, he caught the attention of every person in the room. Kim Jaejoong appeared in a jacket covered in black feathers. Capturing the hearts of the audience with a revealing outfit, Kim Jaejoong went full-force from the get-go, as if he was repaying the fans for their applause. The singer acted cute and said, “My outfits a bit… I’m sorry but I don’t have anything else to change in to. You want me to take it off? You probably want that, don’t you? Then you all have to strip too. Why should I be the only one who strips?” Kim Jaejoong even casually took off his jacket and got changed on stage, showing how relaxed a 10-year veteran could be.

Having already announced that he wouldn’t hold back in the night’s performance as it was the last performance in Seoul, Kim Jaejoong’s true talent as a rock star shone through in ‘Light’ and ‘Glamorous Sky’ Wearing a pink leather jacket, Kim Jaejoong traveled a lap around the concert venue on a moving stage to check the reaction of his fans. During the concert, Kim Jaejoong went backstage with a camera to have a sincere chat with his fans. He sang Gummy’s ‘I should have at least become your friend’ and performed the ‘Gwiyomi Song’ up to 7+7, giving it his all.

◆An honest story about love
Through videos that were shown during the concert, Kim Jaejoong took some time to make honest confessions about his thoughts and feelings. Born in 1986. 28 years old in Korean age. With his 10th anniversary coming on the 26th of December, Kim Jaejoong has gotten more honest and more daring. He didn’t hold back in expressing his thoughts about being an idol and about his love life. Seeing idol singer Kim Jaejoong like this may have seemed strange to many. But his sincerity got through to his fans. Autumn is usually the season of emotions, and it may have been the season to discuss love.

Kim Jaejoong said, “I want to be called an idol singer forever. I’ve never once wanted to shed that title,” and expressed his satisfaction about his life. Regarding love, Kim Jaejoong honestly confessed, “Now that I’m 28, I’ve become a little more relaxed about things. A lot of people around me are getting married, but I don’t have any thoughts about marriage yet. I do want to date though. The hardest thing in the world is talking about love. I’m scared of loving someone because I’m scared of what happens when you break up with that person. So there are many times when my love ends after a quick burst of emotion. But I still want to fall in love. How could you ever survive without love for a single day?” Kim Jaejoong’s fans gave a slightly chilled response of, “Can you not,” and had everyone there chuckling.

jaeseoulwwwcoex2

◆A stage that is undisputedly perfect
The concert started and finished with love, the theme of Kim Jaejoong’s latest album ‘WWW’. The singer wrote lyrics for ten of the tracks in the album, and expressed everything from a first love’s racing heart, a sorrowed story of a lost love, a strong love for his fans, and the pain of a twisted love. The lighting equipment and concepts seemed to reflect these emotions perfectly to create a drama.

3D VJ videos played on the 12m-long, 21m-high LED and various LED screens and curtain LEDs that were installed on stage during his hard rock performances, and the special effects and music on the 70m-long stage had the fans cheering. During his grunge rock and pop rock songs, the stage seemed to transform the venue into a rock festival.

◆Even the guests who attended were off the charts
Even the guests who attended the concert shone brightly. Kim Bum Soo and Moo Myung Jin performed with Kim Jaejoong the night before, and the singer was joined by Lee Sang Gon (Noeul) and Gummy on the 3rd. Lee Sang Gon had the audience laughing with witty comments like, “I’m a bit nervous, so I’m going to drink some of Jaejoong’s water,” and also sang ‘Proposal’ because, “Jaejoong’s future wife might be in this very room right now.” He had everyone cheering as he took on a song that is difficult enough for four people to sing, let alone a single individual.

Gummy didn’t disappoint either. Appearing for the first time since moving to the same agency as Kim Jaejoong, Gummy appeared with a powerful burst of energy that filled the venue. Gummy had everyone cheering with a rendition of her song ‘Childish Adult’ and ‘Snowflake’, her OST for the SBS drama ‘That Winter, the Wind Blows’. They were also joined by Hong Seok Chun in the audience, who got up during the ‘Innocence and Impurity’ dress code event and began appealing to the camera. Seeing this, Kim Jaejoong shouted out, “Stop it, baby!”

[TRANS] 131103 Kim Jaejoong’s Concert, “There Is No Right Answer To The Dress Code Of Innocence And Impurity”

jaedresscode

On the 3rd of November, JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong held a press conference at a conference room in COEX to commemorate the release of his first full-length album ‘WWW: Who, When Why’ and the end of the Seoul leg of his Asia tour.

Starting off in Seoul on the 2nd of 3rd of November, Kim Jaejoong is set to perform in Yokohama, Japan on the 15th and 16th, in Taiwan on the 23rd and in Nanjing, China on the 7th of December. The Seoul concerts attracted 14,000 fans across two days and were sold out in just 15 minutes. The concert features tracks from his ‘WWW’ album, as well as other songs that Kim Jaejoong likes singing, such as ‘Glamorous Sky’ and ‘Ultra Soul’. Kim Jaejoong will also be singing ‘Makeup’ in Korean, which he himself translated from Japanese.

Kim Jaejoong looked calm yet excited, having already performed the night before at the same venue. The singer said, “This is my first full-length solo album, so everything feels new and I feel great about it. This album has a very strong rock influence infused throughout the whole album. But it’s not just about rock; I’ve incorporated other genres such as pop, punk and hard rock with melodies that are easy to follow to bring more variety to the album.”

Regarding his first concert, Kim Jaejoong said, “I worked really hard for this concert. It’s great that I’ll be able to make it an exciting concert with a live band. I saw the audience bobbing their heads to the beat and jumping along to the music. I was joined by Moon Myung Jin and Kim Beom Soo yesterday. Today, I’ll be joined by Lee Sang Gon and Gummy. It was great to see the audience cheering loudly for the guest singers as well. I believe that the guest singers have helped take my concert up another notch.”

Here is a Q&A session we had with Kim Jaejoong.

-The name of your first full-length album is ‘WWW’.
“Naming the album was a decision I made with our album management team. We talked about creating a story that connects all the tracks from the first one to the last one. In this process, someone came up with the theme of ‘love’, something that anyone can easily experience and understand, and that’s when we thought of ‘Who, When, Why’. In love, you need a person to give your love to, a place to meet that person, and a reason why you loved that person. I believe these three things are important when it comes to love. I’ve incorporated these three things into all thirteen tracks. There are some songs that beat around the bush, and some that are more direct in addressing these three components.”

-The response you’ve received for ‘WWW’ from all around the world has been mostly positive.
“I was so surprised to see such love from countries that I’d never heard about before. I think it’s probably because rock is a genre that anyone can enjoy, no matter where they’re from. I think some people gave my album a listen, even if they didn’t know who I am, because of this.”

-Love is the main emotion of your music in this album.
“Isn’t love one of the emotions that are most often expressed in music?”

-Are there any differences in the concert you held yesterday and the one you’re holding today?
“In terms of stage management, nothing has changed. I guess the only differences are the guest singers who are coming today? But since this is my last performance in Seoul, I won’t hold back and keep going without worrying about my throat or body. I’ll make it a passionate performance.”

-Your dress code of innocence and impurity is quite unique.
“To be honest, there’s no right answer to the dress code of innocence and impurity. Each person’s beliefs and mindset will make their interpretations different. Even if you come dressed in your regular attire, it might look different to others based on their point of view. There’s a moment in the concert where I step back and take a look at the audience’s attire and makeup. It’s not something I do just for my own sake; it’s a time for the audience to take a good look at each other. I think I’ll probably set a dress code for all the upcoming concerts as well.”

-Did anything happen while you were preparing for your concert?
“I used to hold two or three rehearsals every day in the past, but I couldn’t do more than two a day this time around. I tried to hold back because I didn’t want to hurt myself or damage my vocal chords during rehearsals.”

-It’s been 10 years since you made your debut.
“I’m in my tenth year (of becoming a singer) and our 10th anniversary is coming up. I’ve taken on a lot of challenges during these ten years, and I tried so hard to finish everything I started. But all of a sudden, I’ve begun to feel like ‘returning’. There’s something I want to accomplish that I can only do by going back to how I felt during that whole process. I want to go back to the starting line again. I’ve got a new goal.”

-What do you mean by that?
“I guess you could call it going back to how I felt when I first began. I’ve fallen into the dilemma of ‘What should I do from now on,’ and ‘What else do I have left to develop,’ now that ten years have passed. I need something to stimulate me. I feel most concerned when I can’t feel any growing pains. I want to feel the need to continue to grow and fulfill the anticipation of others.”

-What was your proudest moment in the last ten years?
“Right now? When I released my first full-length solo album. A lot of people expressed their concern and support for me. I was conflicted on whether I should release a rock album. But I’m glad to see that so many people have responded positively to it. Even people who aren’t my fans are giving my music a listen. I’m really proud of that.”

Two songs in, I found myself thinking that I would regret it so much if I let this opportunity go.”

Kim Junsu also added, “Not only that, but I really like the song ‘December’. The title of the musical happened to be ‘December’ as well, so I thought that Director Jang Jin named it so because he also liked the song ‘December’ the most, but that wasn’t the case,” and “He had already decided on the title when he found out that there was a song called ‘December’. He said it must be fate. I really like that song, so I’m excited for this production.”

The musical ‘December’ has been created to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the late Kim Kwang Seok’s birth, and will feature 18 of his songs, four compositions and two songs that have never been heard before, for a total of 24 songs.

Park Gun Hyun and Kim Junsu will take on the leading role of Ji Wook, and Oh So Yeon and Kim Yae Won have been chosen to play the role of Lee Yeon, Ji Wook’s first love. Park Ho San, Lee Chang Yon and Lee Choong Joo have been chosen to play Hoon, Ji Wook’s friend, while Song Young Chang and Jo Won Hee will play his father and Hong Yoon Hui will play his mother. Lim Gi Hong and Kim Dae Jong will play Sung Tae, while Kim Seul Gi and Jo Kyung Joo will play Yeo-il, the girl who is in love with Ji Wook.
