 Lyrics by Juno, Kim Jina

[ENGLISH TRANS]

Today snow is shining all over the world
Everyday, excited and waiting for the first snow
Heaven has given me the most precious gift
More precious than my white star

Waking up early in the morning to the sound of the bell ringing
I’ve been waiting anxiously to meet you
Finding a way to go to meet you
Loving the memories of us

White snow is piled up without sound
Pacing the streets more footsteps pound
I would flutter more

That day I had been dreaming everyday OH
Today
Oh so I came

You and me holding hands, walking down the street
Memories spent with staring and laughing
You always cuddle up to me
Could not say
Today my heart wants to say I love you

Snuggling under the street lamp that illuminates
Your reflection in the transparent-like glass crystal
Little hands in your pocket
Your cheeks stained red
baby

Flow as a city full of white
Is singing
Sounds over the hearts of the people come and go
I would smile at night

Nice and anywhere with me OH
Oh you to hug me

You and me holding hands, walking down the street
Memories spent with staring and laughing
Your innocent smile like a child
Oh I’ll protect you forever

We walked down the street, holding hands,
facing each other again
We created the memories one by one with you

Even if there are times when you get tired sometimes frightened
Do not forget
I’ll be here for you always like today

Forever by your side

This song for you

[TRANS] 121218 JYJ’s Jaejoong, To Release His First Solo Album Next January…Details Are “Top Secret”

JYJ’s Jaejoong will be releasing his first solo album since debut.

C-Jes Entertainment stated on 18 Dec, “Jaejoong will release a very special solo mini-album next January.”

C-Jes representatives also revealed, “Kim Bada, the 5th generation vocalist for the “rock legend” Sinawe, personally participated in the production of the album this time. The album will contain various genres of rock music. Jaejoong’s husky and tough high notes which could not be seen during JYJ’s activities, as well as his various charms, will be showcased through this album.”

Jaejoong’s talent as a rock vocalist has been recognised till now through his solo stages like “그것만이 내 세상 (That’s Only My World)” and “너를 위해(For You)” during concerts including their Japan Dome concerts. In particular, the anticipation for the album this time is heightened as Kim Bada, who was acknowledged as one of the top rock vocalists through “I Am A Singer”, will be participating in the production this time.

Kim Bada stated, “Jaejoong has the good qualities required of a rock vocalist. Also, because he is very serious about music, my love for him became stronger after working with him. One of Jaejoong’s charms is his unique way of singing, which is a little sexy and glamorous at the same time. I think that he will be able to present outstanding rock numbers no matter how they are produced.”

He also went on to say, “The thing about rock music is that it requires that you infuse the stories that are buried deep inside your heart into music. Jaejoong’s sense when it comes to writing lyrics is not lacking at all. I think that he will be recognised as an artiste rather than an idol from now on.”

Till now, Jaejoong’s self-composed and self-written songs have been released in JYJ’s as well as Junsu’s albums. Having proven his abilities as a singer-songwriter, Jaejoong will also be writing the lyrics for all the songs in the album this time, further proving his competence.

C-Jes Entertainment said, “The specific contents of the album are top secret. It is planned for the album’s jacket teasers and album teasers to be released in succession beginning next week. It is also being prepared for the music video to be revealed together with the release of the audio. This special album, which will include OST tracks from the movie “Here Comes Jackal”, will be a surprise gift for the fans this winter.”

[TRANS] 121128 Will The Doors Of Broadcasting Companies Open For JYJ? “Discussions Are Needed”

[TRANS] 121128 Will The Doors Of Broadcasting Companies Open For JYJ? “Discussions Are Needed”

Will the doors of broadcasting companies open for JYJ, who have been locked in a legal battle with their former agency SM Entertainment?

Following the announcement on the 28th that SM Entertainment and JYJ reached an agreement after three years locked in a legal battle, many are curious to see if this will lead to an appearance in broadcasted TV shows by JYJ.

According to legal circles, SM and the three members of JYJ reached an agreement that all contracts signed by the two parties had effectively ended on the 31st of July, 2009. All relevant lawsuits were to be dropped, and neither party would interfere with the opposite party’s future activities.

With the end of the lawsuit, new possibilities have opened up for the three members of JYJ in the entertainment industry. When JYJ began their individual activities, they weren’t able to appear on TV shows run by the three main broadcasting companies due to their lawsuit with SM. Though Park Yoochun and Kim Jaejoong have been making appearances on TV through dramas, they have not been able to appear on music programs or awards shows since releasing their albums.

For example, in May of 2011, KBS explained the reason why JYJ were not to appear on variety shows such as ‘Music Bank’ when they stated, “JYJ’s lawsuit has not ended with their former agency. It is normal for us to wait and refrain from casting celebrities who are locked in legal battles, as their appearance on TV shows may influence the results of their lawsuits.”

Now that an agreement has ended the lawsuit, the spotlight has shifted to the three main broadcasting companies. Many are curious to see if the end of the lawsuit that has freed JYJ from restrictions will give them the chance to appear on music programs or variety shows.

Regarding this, Jeon Jin Guk, the director of KBS’ variety sector, stated in a phone conversation with OSEN that, “We heard the news through an article. I believe the details of our stance on the issue will be solidified through further discussion,” and “I don’t believe there will be any reason for us to refrain from allowing JYJ to appear on KBS TV shows if their lawsuit has come to a complete end, as that was the reason for our actions.”

MBC’s Won Mak Sik stated, “Though the lawsuit between the two parties has ended, we believe it is a problem that requires time to observe the situation.” Another representative of MBC’s variety sector explained, “We have not yet discussed the possibilities of JYJ appearing on music programs and variety shows,” and “This is an issue that must be considered by the entire variety sector.”

PD Park Seung Min of SBS’ ‘Inkigayo’ gave a short statement of, “This is an issue for the entire variety sector to discuss. I can’t say much because there hasn’t been any discussion as of now.”

[Trans] 121130 JYJ’s Kim Junsu Says, “This Was A Battle Against SM, Not TVXQ”

JYJ’s Kim Junsu recently opened up about his group’s exclusive contract nullification lawsuit.

Kim Junsu met with reporters on the 29th at a hotel in Essen, Germany and when asked about the possibilities of TVXQ getting back together now that JYJ’s lawsuit with their former agency SM Entertainment has ended after three years and four months, he stated, “I lament the fact that I’m not able to introduce myself as a member of TVXQ.” Though it wasn’t a direct answer, it seems as though even he sees the chances of TVXQ getting back together again to be low.

Kim Junsu stated, “I, too, find this situation to be unfortunate because I entered the entertainment industry and started out as a singer through TVXQ,” and “Though the situation is unfortunate and regrettable, the title of ‘TVXQ’ will always remain in my heart and I believe that other people, and not only myself, will remember and never forget the five years that I performed as a member of TVXQ.”

He continued to add, “Nothing will ever be as memorable and fill me with joy than if I could stand on stage again as ‘TVXQ’ one day.”

 

Kim Junsu didn’t hide his affection for TVXQ as he said, “We were fighting a battle against our company (SM Entertainment) and their unlawful practices; it wasn’t that we wanted to throw away our title of ‘TVXQ’ or leave ‘TVXQ’.”

He feels the same way about the name that introduced him to the world, ‘Xiah’. Kim Junsu stated, “When I perform in musicals, I use my real name of Kim Junsu. Regardless of what name I use, I give people my all to repay them for remembering me and coming to see me. But I started out as ‘Xiah’ and I would like to keep performing under that name as a singer.”

Though Kim Junsu made his debut and became famous as TVXQ’s Xiah Junsu, he has no longer been able to use that stage name since beginning his lawsuit against SM Entertainment.

When he released his first solo album in May, he released it under the name ‘XIA’ which was his name ‘XIAH’ from his TVXQ days without an ‘H’.

[NEWS] 121122 JYJ, Is There Anything You Can’t Do?

The group JYJ is drawing public attention with omnidirectional activities including not only films and dramas but also world tour concerts.

The members of JYJ – Jaejoong Kim, Yuchun Park and Junsu Kim are showing off their talents as each of them is doing film, drama and world tour at the same time. Not like other groups who normally start members’ individual activities after group activities finished, all of JYJ members are standing out in each own field at the same time.

The most noticeable member is Jaejoong Kim. Currently he is meeting audience with his screen debut film ‘Code Name: Jackal’ and played a comic role which he has not done before, as a topstar who is kidnapped in the film. It seems that he became more familiar to the public after breaking from former serious characters he played in ‘Dr. Jin’ and ‘Protect the Boss’.

Yuchun Park is challenging melodramatic performance in ‘I Miss You’, MBC WED/THU primetime drama currently being aired. He has been appearing since NOV 21 after the youth parts finished and showed performance as a  police detective who has wounds of the first love in youth. ‘I Miss You is his first serious melodrama as he used to work for romantic comedies in the past. His new challenge is highly expected as he has been recognised well among actors from background of singers.

While Jaejoong Kim and Yuchun Park are leaving music career at the moment, Junsu Kim is taking over the role of a singer instead. The award winning star is due to have a solo concert in Oberhausen, Germany on Nov 30. He is the first Asian singer performing in Oberhausen.

He released a solo album ‘Tarantallegra’ in May and toured successfully in Thailand, Taiwan, China, U.S.A. and Mexico. The tour in Germany is his final stage of the world tours of 8 months.
