This seems to have goth imagery, however, I really can’t form an opinion until I see the entire music video. I get the impression that this is going to be a high-energy, provocative video, Mr. Kim Junsu. Don’t overheat now, ya hear? 🙂

[NEWS]  JYJ Performs At A Special Event Of The Nuclear Security Summit

 JYJ held a special performance at the Blue House (Cheongwadae), in conjunction with the Seoul Nuclear Security Summit.

According to JYJ’s management agency, JYJ performed at the “Seoul Nuclear Security Summit・Spouse Event”, held at the Blue House State Guesthouse on the afternoon of 27 March.

JYJ, formed by the three members Yoochun, Junsu and Jaejoong, performed “Be My Girl” and “In Heaven”, catching the eyes and ears of the guests.

A representative of the event coordinators said, “JYJ is the only group to have advanced into Asia, North America, Europe and even South America. The response from all the guests, including the First Ladies, was very positive. From the perspective of the organisers, we are also very appreciative of JYJ’s efforts. The stage this time was also an opportunity to share with the world how outstanding K-pop is.”

JYJ also expressed their thoughts. “We are very happy to have been invited to share the merits of K-pop with the First Ladies, who are representatives of the various countries. After our world tour, we feel very happy to be given another opportunity to promote Korea. Although it was a short event, we hope that this will be an opportunity for the guests present at the meeting to be left with precious memories of Korea.”

[TRANS] 120329 JYJ Which Cannot Be Heard In “Inkigayo”, Can Be Heard In “Rooftop Prince”

[TRANS] 120329 JYJ Which Cannot Be Heard In “Inkigayo”, Can Be Heard In “Rooftop Prince”

In the third episode of “Rooftop Prince”, which was broadcast on SBS on 28 March, it seems that compared to the attractive development of the plot, the melodious music is more attention grabbing. However, you may still miss it if you are not paying attention.

The music that appears when the crown prince’s 3-man consort, Song Man Bo (played by Lee Min Ho), Do Chi San (played by Choi Woo Shik) and Woo Yong Sul (played by Jung Suk Won), make a video call to the crown prince, Lee Gak (played by Park Yoochun), at the fast food joint is “Be My Girl” from JYJ’s first official album, “The Beginning”.

Aside from that, JYJ’s “Be The One”, also from “The Beginning”, appears when Park Ha (played by Han Ji Min) is at the departmental store with her mother.

It is normal for singer-turned-actors to have their songs played in the dramas, but for JYJ songs to appear in “Rooftop Prince” is something special for JYJ and their fans, since it is usually not easy to hear these songs on programmes. Although JYJ is able to appear in dramas, and appear actively in news programmes, they are still not able to appear on music programmes.

Perhaps someday we would be able to hear JYJ’s songs not as background music, but as live performances. And perhaps someday we will be able to see these three men stand proudly on the stage of music programmes.

[INFO] University of Michigan Symposium on Hallyu 2.0: “OF THE FANS, BY THE FANS, FOR THE FANS – THE REPUBLIC OF JYJ”

[INFO] University of Michigan Symposium on Hallyu 2.0: “OF THE FANS, BY THE FANS, FOR THE FANS – THE REPUBLIC OF JYJ”

The University of Michigan will be holding a Symposium on the Hallyu Wave on April 6. One of the seminars offered during the 2nd panel is entitled: “Of the fans, by the fans, for the fans: The Republic of JYJ.”

YJ3 Note: Prof. Seung-ah Lee has presented the same topic at UC Irvine.  Event description is below:

The nationalist celebrations behind K-pop hide uncomfortable and troubled reality of the Korean entertainment industry. Far from being a paradise for aspiring young artists, SM Entertainment is a powerful industrial machinery that maintains complete control over the products it manufactures—the dancing and singing teenage boys and girls who are carefully marketed as “idol groups.” Prof. Lee’s lecture examines the JYJ fandom as an emerging social movement and analyzes both the mechanisms and logics internal to this movement.
