jyjfanmeet

JYJ’s fan convention will be held for its consecutive third year.

C-JeS Entertainment stated, “From the 31st of July till the 3rd of August, we will be holding the ‘2014 JYJ Membership Week’ in COEX’s Halls C and D. The convention will be held in a 5000-pyeong space, which is bigger than it’s ever been, filled with a variety of things for fans to enjoy. We’re currently doing our best to make sure that this will be the greatest festival for JYJ’s fans this year.”

Started in 2012, this will be the third JYJ Membership Week event, which has received positive reviews every year for its sincere, communicative fan-service and fresh outlook, creating a new direction for Hallyu culture contents to head towards. Taking out the corporative nature and focusing solely on the experience of the fans, JYJ’s Membership Week has become the most representative fan event in the entertainment industry.

The four-day event will be held under the theme ‘Everything about JYJ’s music’ and will feature a club where fans can enjoy JYJ’s music, as well as sets from the group’s new music video. Around 600 outfits that JYJ have worn in their previous concerts and music videos will also be put on display, giving fans a peek into everything about JYJ.

JYJ held their ’2013 JYJ Membership Week’ fan expo from the 27th till the 30th of June at SETEC in Seoul. The ‘JYJ Membership Week’ is a large-scale fan expo held by C-JeS Entertainment for those signed up for the JYJ membership program.

The reason why JYJ’s fan expo has garnered so much attention is because it has shifted the paradigm away from that of fanmeets, concerts and handshake events held by other entertainment agencies. They haven’t stopped at just singing and acting, but they have also utilized artwork and technology to create various attractions for fans. JYJ began their fan expos last year and have placed their focus on new projects and creating a connection with their fans. They have received positive feedback for creating a new economically innovative paradigm for the Hallyu culture.

# 0

The ’2013 JYJ Membership Week’ event refused all offers from corporations and public institutions, and did not sell any MD goods. C-JeS Entertainment created an event with ’0 Won’ commercialization, with free fanmeets and art galleries. C-JeS Entertainment stated, “With the growth of Hallyu comes the need for new contents. By providing events such as free fanmeets, we have created a space for JYJ to spend time with their fans without a commercialized aspect, creating a stronger loyalty from fans and increasing JYJ’s value.”

# 3000

JYJ took the 3,000 pyeong space at SETEC, located in Daechi-dong, Seoul, and created three different spaces to share JYJ-related contents and JYJ’s own artwork.

The first area held a fanmeet open to fans chosen through a lottery system. The second area was a Media Facade square that featured a media facade, cafeteria and a sticker photo zone. The third area was an art gallery and concert hall that featured artwork created by JYJ and a screening of JYJ’s Tokyo Dome concert.

#17000

The ’2013 JYJ Membership Week’ event was attended by 17,000 fans. Thanks to the 4,000 Japanese fans who were visiting Korea for the event, Myeongdong’s Lotte Hotel experienced a rare treat. The shopping districts that had been suffering due to the depreciation of the Yen and the decrease of Japanese tourists were smiling once again thanks to these fans. It was later said that the Japanese fans also embarked on a tour that took them around Myeongdong and Gangnam. During the ’2012 JYJ Membership Week’ event, JYJ’s agency C-JeS Entertainment rented 3,500 hotel rooms in Seoul, Incheon and Suwon, and prepared 250 buses and 300 guides for Japanese fans attending the event. It was stated that this year’s event included similar preparations. Last year’s event attracted a total of 22,000 fans, including 7,024 Japanese fans, to break the record of the most foreigners flying to Korea to attend a single event.

#10 billion

The ’2013 JYJ Membership Week’ event is said to have created an extraordinary secondary economic impact because of the 4,000 Japanese fans who visited Korea for four days for the event. Although no commercial activity took place in the JYJ fan expo, the amount of money spent by fans on food and shopping is said to be around 10 billion Won. Last year’s ’2012 JYJ Membership Week’ event had overseas fans staying for three days and even if the lowest costs are taken into consideration, around 500,000 Won if each fan required eight meals during their stay in Korea, it can be estimated that each fan spent around 2 million Won, including the money they spent on their shopping expenditures. CEO Baek Chang Joo of C-JeS Entertainment stated, “We will be donated all the money raised through an auction of JYJ’s artwork, and we will keep creating spaces for stars and their fans to connect and become one.”

JYJ’s fan expo came to a close on the 30th of June.

JYJ’s fan expo, titled the ‘JYJ Membership Week’, was held for a total of four days from the 27th of June at SETEC in Seoul. A total of 17,000 fans from Korean and Japan visited the event. CEO Baek Chang Joo of C-JeS Entertainment, JYJ’s agency, stated, “We’ve created a space for artistes and fans to meet. Because we’ve wanted this event to be a long-running event from the moment it was first created, we tried to make it a place for JYJ and their fans to connect with each other.”

JYJ’s fan expo consisted of a ‘Media Facade Square’, that showcased a large fountain that played JYJ’s music and a cafeteria that provided free drinks, a ‘JYJ Art Gallery’ that showcased various artwork created by JYJ and included a space for fans to create their own, and a ‘Concert Hall’ that showed JYJ’s April Tokyo Dome concert to their fans for free. Photo zones were created for fans to take photos with JYJ, and 10 photo sticker booths were set up for fans to create special memories at the event.

The reason why JYJ’s fan expo, which has entered its second year, has garnered so much attention is because it has brought forth a new paradigm that differs from the fanmeets, concerts and handshake events of other entertainment agencies. They haven’t stopped at just singing and acting, but they have also utilized artwork and technology to create various attractions for fans. Last year, they opened up the possibilities of commercializing IT technology by having the members of JYJ appearing through hologram videos. JYJ’s Membership Week has created a new term ‘fan expo’ and created attractions that showcase everything under the sun.

JYJ’s fan expo, which has shifted the paradigm in the industry, has also caused secondary economic effects. 4,000 Japanese fans arrived at Incheon and Gimpo Airports from the 27th of June to attend the expo. A representative of Lotte Hotel said, “Because of the depreciation of the Yen and the worsening relations of the two Koreas, the number of Japanese tourists in Korea has markedly decreased. The fact that 4,000 Japanese fans came to Korea to see JYJ is a surprising and welcomed event for the tourism industry.” Experts of the industry estimate that JYJ have brought an economic effect of 10 billion Won to Korea, if one considers the fact that each Japanese fan spent approximately 2 million Won each during their trip to Korea for the fan expo.”

C-JeS Entertainment stated, “We have tried to reduce the commercialization of the fan expo as much as possible by providing services such as the fanmeet and concert hall free of charge, as well as not selling any MD goods,” and “We tried to create a space for JYJ to connect with their fans more closely through the JYJ Membership Week.”

[TRANS] 130627 JYJ, Large-scale Fan Event “Membership Week” Finally Opens! Art Pieces Made By Members On Display

[TRANS] 130627 JYJ, Large-scale Fan Event “Membership Week” Finally Opens! Art Pieces Made By Members On Display

jyjmembershipweek2013JYJ has opened their large-scale fan meeting event, the “2013 JYJ Membership Week”, which has the purpose of allowing the fans to have fun (along with the members), and costs over 3 billion won to produce.

JYJ will be holding the “2013 JYJ Membership Week” from 27 to 30 June at SETEC in the Gangnam district of Seoul, and over 15,000 people are expected to participate. The special point about the membership week this time, is that the members have taken on a much larger participative role. Last year, JYJ created the concepts for the various corners with the aid of state-of-the-art technology, but this year, the exhibition space will be filled with art pieces done by the members, as well as photographs.

The exhibition venue of the membership week this time is approximately 3000 square metres, and comprises 3 different halls. The first hall will be used for the fan meeting, the second hall will be a “Media Facade Square”, and the third hall has been planned as JYJ’s art gallery and concert hall. In particular, the third hall houses art pieces with sensitivity, created by the members of JYJ themselves. After the exhibition ends, these pieces will be sold through an auction, and the proceeds donated.

There are also many areas where fans can participate. On one side of the exhibition hall is a large mural formed by puzzle pieces. Postcards are also prepared for fans to write letters to the JYJ members. At the exit of the exhibition hall, there is also an interesting corner where fans can stick stickers to vote for the member whose art piece they like the most.

The 2nd Membership week this time has been talked about as it takes on a new concept of fanservice from the heart, by removing the commercial aspect of the event. JYJ’s representatives see this as an investment, rather than focusing on revenue generation, and have planned a budget of 3 billion won this year, following the 3.7 billion won from last year.

JYJ’s representatives said, “SETEC is a top-notch exhibition hall. It is expected that 3 billion won will be required to cover the costs of the fanmeeting, including the fees to assist Japanese members who are visiting Korea.”

CEO Baek Chang Joo said, “The commercial aspect has been excluded from the JYJ Membership Week, and it is a plan focused solely on creating a platform for the artistes and their fans to interact. With this being the second time we are holding the Membership Week, we worked on the basis of this being a regular event rather than a one-off event right from the planning stage. The main goal is for JYJ and their fans to interact. We hope that it will be an event where many fans can create memories with JYJ, and where JYJ is able to express their gratitude and love to their fans.”

The JYJ members will be holding fanmeetings over two days, 29 and 30 June, and spending time with fans from Korea and Japan. It is planned for them to meet the Japanese fans on 29 June, and the Korean fans on 30 June. Registration was open to Korean and Japanese fans holding JYJ Membership from C-Jes Entertainment.

On 27 June, JYJ’s Junsu, who met with the media before the opening of the Membership Week, said, “I think that we would be able to have a special time with our fans, as much as our members have drawn and produced our own pieces.”

Yoochun expressed his hopes (for the event), “After looking around the exhibition hall, I am personally very satisfied. I am certain that the fans will be able to share this little happiness. I hope this event can continue in future.”

Jaejoong was unable to attend the opening ceremony due to his performances in Yokohama for the grand finale of his solo Asia Tour, but he is scheduled to attend the fanmeetings on 29 and 30 June.
