[TRANS] 111221 Jo Seung Woo And Kim Junsu Are Musical Rivals? In Reality, They Support Each Other
Posted on December 24, 2011 by melodiamuse
Jo Seung Woo and Kim Junsu(JYJ), who are known as the two musical actors with the greatest ticket power, don’t see themselves as rivals, but as a heartwarming pair of friends who support each other.
The two became a hot topic when they battled it out on stage with ‘Tears of Heaven’ and ‘Jekyll and Hyde’. But recently, Kim Junsu has been garnering much attention for attending Jo Seung Woo’s musical ‘Zorro’ and the VIP preview of his latest movie ‘Perfect Game’. Many were curious to know the relationship between the two musical actors because they had assumed the two stars didn’t know each other very well.
In a recent interview, Jo Seung Woo commented that Kim Junsu was a great junior actor and said, “I asked him to come see my movie, and he really showed up. Junsu said, ‘Hyung, I really enjoyed the movie,’ afterwards.“
A representative stated, “The two keep in touch and frequently exchange text messages. Jo Seung Woo takes care of Kim Junsu a lot as a fellow musical actor and it’s great to see him giving Kim Junsu advice on improving his acting. Though many think that the two are rivals in the musical industry, in reality, they’re just a senior and junior who support and take care of each other. Kim Junsu recently watched ‘Perfect Game’ and was so impressed by Jo Seung Woo’s acting that he’s been telling everyone around him to go watch the movie.“
In an interview with OSEN, Kim Junsu once expressed his deep respect for Jo Seung Woo as he said, “In my heart, I’ve always wanted to stand on one stage with Jo Seung Woo.”
Meanwhile, Jo Seung Woo’s new movie ‘Perfect Game’ was released on the 21st while Kim Junsu recently ended JYJ’s world tour that took place across 13 cities.

TRANS] 111213 Go Ara Stars In Movie “Papa”, Says “BoA And TVXQ Taught Me English And Dance”
Korean movie “Papa” is about Chunseob (Park Yong Woo), a manager who goes to America in search of a junior manager who ran away with a singer. He then finds himself in an unexpected contract marriage which results in the birth of six children.
Go Ara plays the role of Chunseob eldest daugher, Jun, who posesses good singing ability, and becomes a star in the US. Ara said, “For about 2 months prior to filming, I practiced dance, the guitar and singing,” and “(prior to debut) I had trained with 2 members of Girls’ Generation, so that experience was useful in the filming of the movie.”
Labelmates BoA and Yunho of TVXQ from SM Entertainment, gave her dance and acting advice. “BoA came to the filming site to teach me English. Also, ‘masculine’ dancing was required in the film, so it was not easy to do. I met Yunho in the office once or twice, and he helped to check my dance, telling me ‘You must put in your utmost effort.’ “

[NEWS] JYJ To Release A Special Edition Album, Pre-Orders Flood In
JYJ will be releasing a special edition album.
According to JYJ’s agency on the 11th of November, JYJ will be releasing a special edition of their first Korean album ‘In Heaven’, which kicked up a storm in the industry as it sold over 100,000 copies in just three days.
The upcoming special album, which has been created in response to the explosive sales and to thank the fans for their love for JYJ, who just ended their European tour in success’, will have additional tracks that feature remixes of their songs, as well as a DVD of the group’s music videos and making film.
Remix versions of ‘In Heaven’ and ‘Get Out’, the two double title songs from the original album, have been included while the DVD will feature the making film and music videos of these two songs, as well the QR movies.
The ten minute version of the ‘In Heaven’ music video, which became a hot topic as it depicted a love story between Kim Junsu and Song Ji Hyo, will be released through the special album and is expected to wow fans as a high quality music drama.
A representative of JYJ stated, “This special edition album is basically a fan service DVD. Fans will be able to watch the making film and never-before-seen moments of JYJ’s album jacket photoshoot and music video filming dates. JYJ put more effort into this album as they have not had many opportunities to perform their songs on broadcasted programs, so the end result was great,” and “Pre-orders began yesterday and in one day, the number of pre-orders surpassed the initial quantity we were expecting.“
JYJ stated, “The ‘In Heaven’ album is very meaningful to us as it contains our own compositions. We prepared this special edition album for our fans. Touring Japan and Europe for three weeks has given us confidence and we’ve set a greater goal of making our world tours of a higher caliber in the future. We’ll continue to work hard to create great music for our fans.”
The special edition album is currently available for pre-orders at offline stores such as Kyobo Hottracks, Synnara, and Evan Records and at online sites such as yes24, Interpark and Aladin. It will be released on the 21st of November.

[NEWS] 111121 North Korean Celebrities Are Struggling Because Of The Hallyu Wave
Radio Free Asia (RFA), a non-profit organization that operates a radio station and internet news source, recently published a story about North Korean celebrities being forgotten due to the Hallyu Wave. Apparently, South Korean movies and dramas are spreading like wildfire inside the isolated country and are devouring low-quality North Korean films.
According to an insider in North Korea, “I don’t know anything about new North Korean songs or movies that have been released. There are only 3-4 [North Korean] films that are produced each year, but since there are so many South Korean movies laying around, no one pays attention to our [North Korean] films.”
Not only are North Korean films low in quality due to insufficient budgets, they lack creativity and are considered boring because they are all material that only praise Kim Il Sung‘s family. Thus, it was reported that citizens and young people completely ignore films and entertainment produced by their country.
North Korean celebrities are suffering significantly due to the Hallyu Wave, mainly because South Korean celebrities are gaining much popularity, while they are becoming forgotten. Multiple insiders state, “People related to the North Korean entertainment business ignore the demands of the people and solely focus on Kim Jong Il‘s propaganda. People can expect to see the end of North Korea’s entertainment industry“.
North Korean youths who defected from the country were able to name several South Korean films including ‘Stairway to Heaven‘ and ‘Scent of a Man‘, while they were unable to recall any names of actors/actresses from a particular North Korean film.
It’s not just North Korean movies and dramas going down the drain — the music industry is declining as well. An insider explained, “All songs, including new ones, involve chants and praises for Kim Jong Il or the Worker’s Party. No one wants to listen to them.”
South Korean netizens were quite amused by the news and commented, “Aren’t all North Korean songs practically hymns that praise that dictator pig?“, “There are celebrities in North Korea? That kind of occupation exists? Wow“, and “I can feel the end of North Korea nearing..“.
Check out this clip to get a taste of North Korean music.

We were able to see that JYJ’s European fanbase continues to expand as time passes.
On the 29th, JYJ held a mini concert at the LA FARGA Convention Centre’s performance hall and sang ‘Empty’ and ‘Get Out’ to 5,000 cheering audience members.
Though it was a paid performance that showcased only two songs, people flocked to secure seats, showing the power of K-pop once more.
We asked the European fans who were waiting in line for the concert about JYJ’s secret to success. They all praised the group as they said, “JYJ’s intense dance moves and live skills have us hooked.”
Here is a Q&A session with their European fans.
Silvia Sanchez (17, student)
-How did you come to know JYJ?
▶In 2008, my friend sent me the ‘Mirotic’ album and told me to listen to it, and from that moment on, I became a fan. I started searching online for their videos and music and now, I’m such a big fan of JYJ. Their appearances in dramas made me like them more and I like them all so much that I make sure to check up on videos of them every day.
-Who’s your favorite member?
▶Jaejoong. His voice and the expression he has when he sings is so hot.
-What are your feelings on coming to today’s concert?
▶I really wanted to go to Korea because I like JYJ so much, but I don’t have the money to go there. I’m so happy and thankful that they decided to come all the way to Spain to perform. My friends and I couldn’t sleep for the past couple of nights because we were preparing gifts for the members. We got Junsu a football shirt with the number ’12′ on it while we got ordinary t-shirts for the other members. We hope they wear them and we would like to see them wearing the shirts.
Noemi Blaha (30, secretary)
-What are your feelings on coming to today’s concert?
▶I’ve been a fan of JYJ for the past three years. I like them so much but because I work, I don’t have much time to spare on other things. I only got three hours of sleep because of today’s concert. I’m so excited and nervous. I still can’t believe that they’ve come here to sing for us. They’re great singers, but they’re also very humorous and it was a great performance.
Charo (18, student)
-How did you come to know JYJ?
▶I was surfing the net a year ago when I randomly began searching up Korean singers, and I ended up clicking on a photo of Jaejoong and listening to their songs. Since then, I’ve been active as a JYJ fan. I like Junsu now too because his voice is so nice.
-What are your feelings on coming to today’s concert?
▶I spent an entire month preparing banners for JYJ’s concert with other fans. We paid for the production of the banner and put them up ourselves. There are over 50 banners hanging within the city of Barcelona that contain messages from JYJ’s fans, and we travelled through the other cities of Spain for a month, putting banners up for JYJ. I bought concert tickets after staying up all night for two days in a row as I waited in line. I was so excited for the entire two-hour train ride here and I’m still feeling that excitement as I wait for the concert to start.
Maria Amparo (24, student)
-What are your feelings on coming to today’s concert?
▶I’m a fan of TVXQ. I like JYJ’s music and I loved watching ‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’. I’m planning on downloading and watching ‘Protect the Boss’ as well. I really like K-pop and I was so excited to buy my ticket three weeks ago. When I first heard the news, I was so surprised and I couldn’t believe they were coming to Spain. I’m very thankful to them for flying all the way here.
Rocio Maldonado (14, student)
-What are your feelings on coming to today’s concert?
▶I’ve been a fan of K-pop for the past five years. I’ve been a fan of JYJ since they were a part of TVXQ and I’m a fan of Junsu. I’m planning on visiting Korea. I want to live in Korea with JYJ. I’ve waited three years to see this concert. This is going to be my first K-pop concert, and I’m so glad that it’s a concert by JYJ.
Sandra Vidail (24, office worker)
-What are your feelings on coming to today’s concert?
▶I recently became a fan of JYJ when I came across one of their songs. This is my first K-pop concert and I can’t wait to see what it will be like. I’m excited to think that I’ll personally get to see those powerful dance moves that I’ve been watching on Youtube. I’m a fan of Yoochun. I can’t believe that I’ll be able to see him smile in person. I want to marry him.
Oscar (19, student)
-What are your feelings on coming to today’s concert?
▶It’s been half a year since I first came across JYJ on the internet and I really like their songs. Most of all, their powerful performances are ones that aren’t easily found in Spain. They’re great singers and I like all three members. I listen to JYJ’s songs all the time these days. I’m especially addicted to their Korean songs because they have such great melodies and beats.

[TRANS] 110922 The License Plate On A Car In JYJ’s ‘Get Out’ MV Shows Park Yoochun’s Name And Birth Date?
The license plate on a car in JYJ’s music video has become a hot topic.
The music video of ‘Get Out… Good bye’ by JYJ, who have been chosen as the CF models for one of LG Electronics’ phone, was released on the LG Mobile homepage.
Beginning with a narration by the member Park Yoochun, the song shows the member appearing in a red sports car. He drew attention for completely contrasting with the sports car he was riding by wearing a black suit.
But what drew more attention from the netizens was the car’s license plate. The license plate says 64 Jeo 6002 with the 64 representing Park Yoochun’s birth date of the 4th of June while 6002 is meant to sound like Yoochun’s name. Park Yoochun’s Twitter username is 6002themicky, which is a mixture of 6002 and ‘micky’ from his stage name ‘Micky Yoochun’.
Netizens who saw this said, “Is that a coincidence? That’s so interesting”, “It’s amazing that his name and birth date are on his license plate”, “Is that Park Yoochun’s real car? I’m curious”, and “I knew there was something cool about that license plate…”
