[TRANS] 130405 JYJ Earn 20 Billion Won In One Go… Invite Seol Gyung Goo’s Daughter To Their Concert

They called it ‘The return of the kings’. From the 2nd till the 4th, JYJ held their successful ‘The Return of the JYJ’ concerts at Tokyo Dome, ‘the heart of Japan’.

According to C-JeS Entertainment, 300,000 people applied for tickets before reservations began. Only 150,000 tickets were given out, with the concert selling out instantly.

150,000 seats costing 130,000 Won sell out… MD goods ‘sell like hotcakes’

The cost of one ticket was 10,500 Yen. When this is converted to Korean currency, each ticket costs approximately 130,000 Won. If we take this into consideration, this means that JYJ earned 19.5 billion Won in ticket sales alone. MD goods were sold in sets of towels, t-shirts and fan-lights, costing 100,000 Won. Even the goods that were sold separately at cheaper prices sold out like hotcakes. Fans gathered near Tokyo Dome from 6am to purchase the goods.

Adding all of this revenue together, we can approximate JYJ’s sales for their Tokyo Dome to be over 20 billion Won. The real profit of the event is a mystery. A representative of C-JeS Entertainment stated, “We have to factor in the cost of renting the venue, wages, and paying the Japanese concert management company we hired. So we aren’t sure what the real profit of the concert will be.”

Seol Gyung Goo, asks for a ticket for his daughter

On the second day of JYJ’s concerts, a special guest arrived at Tokyo Dome. It was Seol Gyung Goo’s ex-wife and daughter. According to a representative, they went to JYJ’s concert together.

Seol Gyung Goo recently called C-JeS Entertainment’s CEO Baek Chang Joo and personally asked for a concert ticket for his daughter, who is a JYJ fan. Thanks to his daughter, Seol Gyung Goo has become close friends with CEO Baek.

During the episode of SBS’ ‘Healing Camp’ that aired on the 1st, Seol Gyung Goo revealed that his daughter was a fan of JYJ. During the show, he stated, “My daughter is now a high school student as is a big fan of JYJ. Whenever JYJ move around, I get nervous. I wish they’d just stay in Seoul.” He also shot down rumors that he had abandoned his daughter as he added, “I wanted to get to know JYJ, so we’ve met outside of work and we watched ‘Tower’ together during the movie premier,” and “I’m sorry to my daughter. I feel a sense of guilt. But I’m getting along well with her.”

Aired live in 113 cinemas… Fans were ‘So proud’

JYJ’s last concert was screened live in various cinemas across Japan for fans who were unable to get tickets. The concert was shown in 113 cinemas in Japan, including Japan’s biggest cinemas TOHO Cinema and Warner Mycal Cinema.

A representative of C-JeS Entertainment stated, “The Hallyu Wave was died down a little so most Korean films are shown early in the morning or late at night, but JYJ’s concert was aired live during the prime time slot,” and “Even this proves just how popular JYJ are in Japan.”

The reception from fans was equally explosive. Chieko (26, female) stated, “The past three years filled me with a sense of dread. But today’s concert makes those past three years so worth it. Of course, because it was JYJ. I always told myself that if I waited, I would be able to see them again. I missed them. I’m so happy and grateful to have seem them at Tokyo Dome again.”

Aya (29, female) gushed, “I went to Korea twice last year to see JYJ. Being able to see JYJ in Japan again means something completely different from just seeing them at a concert. I’m thankful that they never gave up, and I’m proud of all of us for waiting for them. I’m sure that the connection we have is something no other artiste has with his or her fans.”

Jung Yunho’s fans prepared a three-tiered cake and champagne for the party’s celebrations.

A representative of ‘Queen of Ambition’ stated, “Jung Yunho’s fans have been giving us their utmost support from the beginning till the very end.

[Trans] Singles April 2013 – Park Yoochun (Prologue)

[Trans] Singles April 2013 – Park Yoochun (Prologue)

Prologue

The atmosphere during the photo shooting is very quiet. In order for him to concentrate on his emotional acting, everyone looked at him quietly, cheering him through eye contacts.

When the photo shooting ended, he once again returned to the very charismatic 28 year old Park Yoochun who smiled cheekily and spoke sincerely.

“Compared to gratefulness, there were more of guiltiness,” This is his response about their fans who waited for them and towards the enquiry about the Tokyo Dome concert in April.

The young Micky Yoochun with a clean attractive outlook who would have a cute smile on even at the slightest joke, went through a worrying period alike to a youngster who left home. He has now transformed into a true man who can naturally act in romantic and action drama. Due to this period of time where everyone went through a turmoil of joy, anger and sadness, JYJ and their fans developed an even special relationship.

From ‘Sungkyunkwan Scandal’ to ‘Missing You’, those who only became fans to the recently transformed Actor Park Yoochun, would probably forgot that he is originally an idol singer. He neither chose the safest way to walk nor is the type who would care only about himself during acting or portraying the acting that his agency created.

 It is also because JYJ had a high obstacle wall that obstruct them and the public. When we told him that we collected some enquiries from the fans for him, Park Yoochun who heard this, laughed out saying, “I feel so insecure. Because our fans are not that innocent.”

It suddenly dawned onto us that actually before he became a mysterious actor who seems to be isolated from the world, he is actually a singer who sweat it out, communicating on a stage. When speaking about acting, he would be careful and humble, saying that he is still a newcomer at acting. At that moment, he is also a very friendly and straightforward mannered young man who would look at others in the eyes when talking, yet not overly done. It was a witty interview. Thus in that 50 minutes interview with Park Yoochun, it seems as though it was a short 5 minutes.

[Trans] 130320 [Queen Of Ambition] Though Jung Yunho Has Left, The Love Of His Fans Remains

Though Jung Yunho has left ‘Queen of Ambition’, his fans’ passion still remains with the drama.

Jung Yunho’s departure from the SBS’ Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Queen of Ambition’ was marked by his character(Do Hoon)’s unfortunate death during the 18th episode. After Do Hoon’s death, various online communities and fanclub sites were flooded with messages of disappointment and encouragement.

Do Hoon’s sorrowed smile as he dreamed of calling out “Mom!” before his death had the fans’ hearts in pieces. His fans created a ‘Baek Do Hoon Resurrection Committee’ and made a request to resurrect the character but have now accepted that his death was necessary for the drama’s development. They are now continuing their love for ‘Queen of Ambition’, as though they are following the wishes that were expressed by Jung Yunho in his final letter for the drama.

 

Jung Yunho opened up on the drama’s homepage and stated, “I was able to learn so much from this precious experience,” and “Please love ‘Queen of Ambition’ till the very end.” The ‘resurrection’ committee has been turned into a ‘mourning’ committee, and the fans have stepped up to act as the honorary ambassadors of ‘Queen of Ambition’.

Some fans have printed out flyers and handed them out in the street while others have printed thousands of promotional bookmarks and placed them in bookstores around Seoul. There wasn’t a sudden decrease in viewer ratings either, something that had been a concern for the drama since the death of Do Hoon. Considering the fact that the majority of Jung Yunho’s fans are teenagers and women in their 20s and 30s, a drop in viewer ratings was expected, but most fans have continued their support for ‘Queen of Ambition’.

The dedication of Jung Yunho’s fans has been garnering attention since the drama’s press conference. They sent a total of 20 tons of rice wreaths and have also sent lunch boxes to the cast and crew. The fans’ also paid for promotional advertisements on buses and the subway, and provided the cast and crew with winter clothes to battle the cold weather.

Their consideration was greater than the love that has ever been seen for an idol star, and the reason for such dedication was to show the fans’ anticipation and support for Jung Yunho’s decision to work on his acting career.

As though he sensed the support of his fans, Jung Yunho worked hard and received high praise for his improved and sophisticated acting, and many are now curious to see what drama he will take on next.

Though rookie actor Jung Yunho will now return on stage as U-Know Yunho, ‘the king of the stage’, his fans’ love for ‘Queen of Ambition’ lives on.

‘Queen of Ambition’ Yunho Speaks of Leaving Drama, “I Hope my Acting Helped”

Singer and actor Yunho spoke about leaving SBS drama, “Queen of Ambition.”

In episode 18 of the drama, Yunho finished his part of the drama as he died. He said, “Through this drama, I realized the importance of faith. I tried my best to make my acting help the drama in every way possible even though I lacked a lot.”

The ‘faith’ that Yunho spoke of had 3 different meanings. It was faith in his fellow actors and staff members who worked with him through thick and thin despite the cold weather and busy schedule, the true love and trust of family toward his mother Dokyung and wife Da Hae in the drama and the faith in the viewers who supported him until the end.

Even though he is a member of the world-famous group TVXQ, Yunho emphasized that he is still an amateur actor, and had to try a lot while filming. He called Soo Ae and Kwon Sang Woo by their drama names, and showed great humility and serving heart as he was the youngest one of the cast members.

As soon as Yunho’s last scene filming ended, the staff members and other actors gave him a warm applause. Yunho hugged every single one of them to thank them.

[Trans] 130308 Star Column: Behind-The-Scene Story of JYJ Kim Jaejoong’s Asia Tour

t has been four years since ‘Thanksgiving Live In Dome’ that was held on the June of 2010, and once again, JYJ will be having their concert at the Dome again. Just the thought that they will be able to meet the long-awaited fans, exciting atmosphere starts to fill up the air. For the fans who waited them for four years, JYJ will be presenting their best stage and will do it with their might.

Additionally, Kim Jaejoong has started his Asia tour ‘Your, My and Mine In Thailand’ on the 17th of February in Bangkok, and is currently planning his tour at Shanghai, Hongkong and Nanjing etc. Now through NAVER Star Column, let’s reveal the many facets of Kim Jaejoong!

– Editor

The person I like, no matter who it is, they would have have own scent and story. Though it is the first time that we met, as long as we are able to talk with an open heart, we would become close immediately. Therefore, I like meeting new friends, making new relationships; I have also never stay at a distance from a person due to first impression, or judge one’s character from his cover.

My members would tell me, “No matter where Hyung goes, your popularity is the best. We are so envious.” Since the beginning, I was responsible for the strong image in the group, thus as compared to domestically, I received more love overseas. In the past, there were many who were prejudiced against me. Even though it might not be that much, it was what I used to feel. As I continued to have activities overseas, what I felt the most are that about people met with me with no prejudice.

Those who met me in a different culture and language, showed their liking towards me as Kim Jaejoong. Under such situation, showing off myself and saying out my own story, it made me felt comfortable. Though there is a language barrier, we interact with our true hearts, resulting an enjoyable friendship. At the same time, to be able to share such sentiments with those who happily love our music, it made me value and like their culture.

[ A photo in the plane before flying off for the tour~! ]

“You already have so many fans, don’t you feel nothing special already?” I would hear this at times during interview, and I would answer it with no doubt, “Nothing like this!”

Fans might be thinking doubtfully: My feelings? My handwritten letter? My gifts? My heart? Will it be relayed to the artiste? Definitely they would think that it is difficult to relay their feelings out. But those are really able to be relayed to artiste!

As everyone took time to prepare with their earnest heart, I will also thus try my best to listen to what fans have to say. When I am exhausted and felt terrible while thinking of forsaking everything, (fans) will be like a scary superpower, a power that cannot be seen that made me stood up once again. That is fans’ power!

Due to security issues during the tour, I would sometimes need to leave the airport or concert venue in a hurry, but people who have gathered to support and welcome me, those thoughts would made me feel warm and close (to fans) no matter when.

[ During rehearsal and behind the stage of Asia Tour ]

 

Releasing a solo album under the name Kim Jaejoong, preparing the rock genre that I have likened when I was young, though all these are new to me, I felt excited and happy about it. Besides, this is not about what was casted onto me, but the real me. It is an album about everything that I wanted to say. How handsome is this! Thus the album was titled, ‘I’.

[ Day of photo shooting of promotional photos for album ]

During the preparation of the concert, I heard about the news of the Asia Tour and it gave me a lot of strength and inspired me, thus my spirit was lifted! The Asia fan meeting last year as an actor also gave me a lot of strength.

This time, I want to try a different kind of concert. There were many ideas and anticipation was plentiful. Chatting with fans, playing games with fans, I wish to bring the cohesive feel to the fans, be it 5000 or 10000 fans, in a space. Thought it is a showcase-like mini concert, I will also sing the songs that I like, other than the songs in the album. Because of such, the concert was titled, ‘Your, My and Mine’.

[ Discussing with staff during Asia Tour ]

I had my first concert on my birthday and it was an agitating first stage. Ah! I am such a lucky person! There were so many fans who smiled for me, applauded for me and happily focused on my stage. It was really one of my best birthday ever! I really really smiled a lot (That day was also the day I have smiled the most.), I smiled to the extent thinking to myself, “Why am I like this?”

Due to the lighting on stage, I was not able to see the audience clearly. But due to a guessing game with fans, many fans in the seats were therefore shone very clearly. It was all within my view. The happy looks of everyone, the happy eyes, and those thoughts of theirs were all relayed to me. It made me felt so blessed that I was going to tear.

During the singing of ‘I’ll Protect You’ at the mini concert segment, I held my microphone towards the audience and fans sang to me, “I wish to protect you~ even your mistakes~ your bad habits too~ When it’s tough, I will make you smile~ Though it will be tough~ I will still say to you that I love you~”, after that the music started and I once again sang back to them, “I love you~ no matter who, I am the one by your side now, isn’t it~ I will grab your hand isn’t it~”… During that moment, I really felt blessed, really grateful. Fans are so adorable.

[ The first stop of Asia Tour that was in Korea, falls on my birthday… I was really grateful to be spending it with my fans. ]

So, the tour begins. The first stop is at Thailand. It has been around three years that our activities were blocked in Japan, therefore no matter be it JYJ or solo activity, Thailand will be the first stop in Asia. To us, Thailand was a meaningful country. There were many JYJ fans in Thailand and would always welcome us passionately. Therefore it is no doubt it became the starting stop of the tour. Additionally, I really love elephants and to be in Thailand with cute elephants, fans would give me a variety of gifts with elephant-motifs.

[ I made food for the fans during the concert in Thailand. It should be tastier ^^ ]

Japanese fans were also the ones that I am thankful and grateful for. After I acted in the drama ‘Sunao Ni Narenakute’, there wasn’t any much opportunities to meet with Japanese fans. But they remained the same and no matter I was acting in ‘Protect The Boss’, ‘Dr Jin’ or ‘Jackal Is Coming’, they would give their tremendous support directly in Korea.

Same goes for ‘JYJ Membership Week’ where it broke the record for the highest number of foreigners entering Korea. I was very thankful. If Korea is the main stage for activities, Japan will be alike to being the hometown, and I have many Japanese friends in Japan too, thus it’s a place I received a lot of news.

[ Dr Jin Fanmeeting ]

China is also a place I went frequently. I went to Shanghai, Nanjing, Hongkong etc during JYJ concert and drama fanmeeting. Though all cities are in China, the languages and culture were different in different cities. But the passionate support was the same in each city. After learning Japanese language, I recently became interested in Chinese language but it doesn’t seems to be easy. I wish to be able to say more things to fans to close up the distance!

[ During the Asia Tour ]

There is actually a difficulty during Asia Tour and that is when I am in an Asian country, there were too people who likes me that I was not able to go outside, thus I will always be in the hotel. Though I was able to swim, sleep, download movies to watch, and also read comic books but it is still boring. At times like these, I would start to do what I don’t usually do.. taking selcas and show my spirit of self-entertainment.

[ Selca game during Thailand concert ^^ ]

During the Asia tour, if there is something which I wish to say to the fans, I would like to say, “I have already start to miss you all. I am grateful as always and I will make my promise to bring a handsome concert for you all.”

[ Affirmative photo of celebrating birthday with the fans! Really thank you~ ]

Message: Have you enjoyed reading the Star Column? Who wants to chat with me on the 11th, hands up!!?

[TRANS] 130304 JYJ Sweat Profusely In Korea To Prepare For Their Concerts In China And Japan

JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun and Kim Junsu have swapped in their break, the first one they’ve had in a while, to sweat profusely and prepare for their overseas activities in China and Japan.

JYJ will be holding three concerts from the 2nd to the 4th of April at Tokyo Dome in Japan. The reason why the concert is so meaningful is that this is JYJ’s first official Japanese event in four years since their lawsuit against Avex began after the agency unilaterally cancelled their contract.

Because of this, Japanese fans have had to fly to Korea to watch JYJ perform for the past four years. JYJ have repeatedly expressed their sorrow about the fact they could not repay their Japanese fans for their endless support by visiting them in their own country. But now that things have wrapped up nicely, JYJ will be making a show-stopping comeback at Tokyo Dome, ‘the stage of dreams’.

Currently, the members are working harder than ever in Korea to prepare for their upcoming concert. Not only does Kim Jaejoong have the upcoming Tokyo Dome concert with his fellow members, but he will also be holding the third concert of his Asia Tour in Shanghai, China on the 17th of this month. This will be the third country he visits since Korea in January and Thailand in February, and the concert is expected to be an opportunity to showcase Kim Jaejoong’s new charm as a rocker. Because of this, Kim Jaejoong is busy preparing for JYJ’s concert and his own solo concert.

A representative of JYJ’s agency C-JeS Entertainment asked for support for JYJ as he stated to eNEWS on the 3rd that, “The members of JYJ are working harder than ever to ensure a great performance.”

[News] 130225 Channel A Explain Their Statement Which Upset JYJ fans at Presidential Inauguration Ceremony

Channel A explained what they meant by their statement.

On the 25th, many JYJ fans were excited as the boys performed on stage at the Presidential Inauguration Park Geun Hye. Not only was it a big honor but it was also the first time for the group to appear on broadcast television as a group. However, fans became a bit upset at Channel A for a statement made during JYJ’s performance.

During the performance, a male anchor stated, “This is messy. There’s something awkward. There should be lighting. We’ve always seen such fancy stages, so it doesn’t look like a show.” The female anchor for the station responded immediately, “It’s because it’s outside. President Park Geun Hye wanted a simple inauguration that many citizens could attend. Because of that, it’s different from the concerts we normally see.”

The male anchor’s comment caused many JYJ fans to rise up and criticize the channel. With the influx of complaints, Channel A explained, “Because the inauguration stage was prepared in a simple way, the stage was quite narrow. They mean that it looked chaotic because of all the audience moving around, since it was the start of the performances.”

Check out the performance below! What do you think?
