[NEWS] JYJ’s Junsu: “The Only Person Who Will Break PSY’s Record Is PSY Himself”
On November 29 at a hotel in Germany, JYJ’s Junsu made statements concerning singer PSY. He said, “Achieving Billboard Top 10 is hard even for American singers, so for PSY to reach top two with a song sang in Korean was an amazing accomplishment. Realistically, I think it would be hard for other Korean singers to break his record, except maybe PSY himself. Perhaps, and hopefully, we could be the one to break the record.”
Junsu continued, “Music is not like soccer where you can keep a clear score. When I say my goal is to succeed in music, what I mean is to improve people’s view on KPop music.”
He also shared the story of how he first saw “Gangnam Style” MV. He said, “When I was in U.S. to shoot “Uncommitted” MV, an American actor for this MV showed me “Gangnam Style” MV on his cellphone.”
Junsu has been a member of DBSK, and then JYJ, and became a top star in Korea. As a member of JYJ, his popularity has spread to Japan, and the rest of the world including in North and South America.
In May 2012, Junsu has released a solo album “Xia” and has performed in Asia, North and South America, and Europe. He will be completing his world tour on December 30 in Oberhausen in Germany.
[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.”
This post will be updated throughout the day with tweets by JYJ. A time will be added with each tweet as our translators will not always be able to provide instant translations This post includes tweets from 6am KST, December 3rd to 5:59am KST, December 4th.

Junsu revealed JYJ’s plans of releasing a new album.

[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.
[Trans] 121115 ‘Code Name: Jackal’ OST will include Kim Jaejoong’s Compositions
In the OST of movie ‘Code Name: Jackal’, there will be compositions of Kim Jaejoong included.
As the ending title of the movie, ‘stay’ is a ballad composed by Kim Jaejoong.
According to Lotte Entertainment’s representative, “Other than Kim Jaejoong’s composition for the ending title ‘stay’, there will be other songs ‘The Comfort In Heart’ and ‘kiss Be’ composed by Kim Jaejoong.”
For the movie, the OSTs include soothing and calming melodies, thus the movie’s OST also received as much attention as the movie.

We learned it for a long time
It was completed with us and our dance teacher together
It’s only possible to complete it with great collaboration with the dance teacher

But he continued to have a pure feeling for music
I really respect his thoughts

Even though Changmin is younger than me
But when interacting with other people
He is also really caring toward others
From beginning to the end Changmin will do everything perfectly
I really admire him as well
~Not only this, TVXQ will start their own world tour this month. They also expressed that they will definitely perform in China.

They are not easy
When we have some empty schedule
Fans continue to always support us
I really appreciate them
We will always remember it
So we really really thank them

We really thank them
No matter when
They continue to support TVXQ
Sometimes I also feel regretful towards them
Because the chances of seeing them is very small
I hope we will get to go to China a lot more later to meet them
I also hope we can do more fan signing events in China
Chinese (fans) Thank you all
~Since they have such feelings towards the Chinese fans
Don’t know what are TVXQ’s favorite things in China
YH: I like Chinese food
I like China’s Sichuan food
I really like roasted duck
Sichuan Cuisine is really spicy
But slowly eating it, it’s easy to get addicted
We all like to eat Chengdu’s spicy
CM: For me, I like to eat hot pot, hot pot
Hot pot is really good
Other than hot pot I also like those small spicy chicken
It’s all so good
YH: We really want to go to Sichuan
If we go to Sichuan,w e could perform and eat good food
We can perform in China and perform in Korea
It would be good if we can perform in Chin and perform in Korea at the same time
CM: Because our meeting chance is really small
If I could go to China, I want to go to the Great Wall
When I was little, I saw the Great Wall in books and on TV
I feel like the Great Wall is really great
I really want to climb that Great Wall
