minnieshieldourneighborhood

Max Changmin has become the shield of ‘Our Neighborhood’s Master of Variety and Sports’. During the episode of KBS 2TV’s ‘Our Neighborhood’s Master of Variety and Sports’ that aired on the 13th, the celebrity team had their first away badminton match in Doogu-dong, Busan.

On this day, Max Changmin’s stunning visuals became a topic as hot as the matches that took place. Though the matches were so tight that it was difficult to guess who would come out on top, the Doogu-dong team began talking about Max Changmin’s good looks rather than the game.

With the voices of the female players getting louder, Shin Da Seul, an elementary school student (10) said, “It would have been nice to have gone against Max Changmin,” while Lee Shi Jung (27) said, “I would feel great playing against him, even if I lost.”

With the phrase, “How could I possibly smash the birdie at that (good-looking) face?” summing up their feelings for Max Changmin, his out-of-this-world good looks may become the celebrity team’s greatest weapon.

During the team’s first badminton match against the Joonggok-dong team, a woman on the opposing team took one look at Nickhun’s burning gaze and said, “I can’t serve this birdie.” With Max Changmin’s good looks now becoming a hot topic and stopping the female players in their tracks, the power of the celebrity team’s ‘handsome guy’ has hit full force.

After the episode, netizens left comments such as, “Changmin’s cheers were loud and energetic”, “It was great to see families participating in sports together.. It was heartwarming~”, “It must be amazing to go head to head in a badminton match against Max Changmin.. I’d be wondering if I was I was dreaming or not.”

Meanwhile, the celebrity team’s hard efforts are paying off with a rise in viewership for the show. ‘Our Neighborhood’s Master of Variety and Sports’ recorded a 0.2% rise in ratings this week to come to a total of a 7.5%, the highest viewership the show’s ever had.

[TRANS] 130813 Kim Jaejoong’s Thoughts On Narrating ‘The Zoo Is Alive’, “I Had A Hard Time Pronouncing Gorilla”

 

jaedocumentarygorillaIdol group JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong revealed his thoughts on narrating MBC’s ‘Documentary Special – The Zoo Is Alive 2′.

On the 12th, the staff of the documentary released a behind-the-scenes video of Kim Jaejoong’s work as a narrator for ‘The Zoo is Alive 2′ on their official homepage.

 

The video shows Kim Jaejoong smiling contentedly at the animals acting cute to their zookeeper, and pouting after making multiple mistakes and saying, “I can’t pronounce gorilla.”

 

In the interview that followed, Kim Jaejoong said, “I had so much fun (narrating the documentary). It was a little hard because I had to talk so much, but I had fun.”

 

He also added, “I decided to participate in the project because I love animals. This is something that even our fans know, and I have a lot of animal-related things in my house because I love animals so much. I have real animals, as well as animal dolls. That’s why I really wanted to participate in this documentary.”

 

Kim Jaejoong ended his interview by stating, “What I felt while recording my narration was that zoos need to evolve from places where you ‘look at animals’ to places that foster love and protection for them. I will do my best to be one of the frontrunners of this movement.”

 

‘Documentary Special – The Zoo is Alive’ followed the stories of baby tigers, a gorilla couple that refused to get close, and a baby hippo that lost its mother.

[TRANS] 130812 JYJ’s Kim Junsu Says At His Busan Concert, “Singing Would Be Meaningless If There Were No Fans”

juneincrediblebusan

JYJ’s Kim Junsu has completed the fourth leg of his Asia tour in success.

 

A representative of C-JeS Entertainment stated, “Since releasing his second album on the 15th of July, Kim Junsu has successfully toured four cities in a month. Starting in Bangkok, Thailand and moving on to Shanghai, China, and Seoul and Busan in Korea, Kim Junsu has been praised for his ever-evolving stages. Not only did he pull off a perfect performance, but his idea of granting three wishes every concert has been met with an explosive response as a great idea for fan service. The first act of Kim Junsu’s second solo album tour has come to an end.”

 

This latest tour was named ‘XIA 2nd ASIA TOUR in BUSAN’. The day’s performance was composed of a setlist containing songs from his first and second album, as well as his OST songs. Kim Junsu performed heart-wrenching ballads such as ‘Sorry’, ‘Don’t Go’, and ‘Love is like a Snowflake’, as well as explosive and energetic songs such as ‘Turn it up’, ‘Incredible’ and ‘Fantasy’ with Jeri Slaughter’s dance crew to create the perfect concert.

With Kim Junsu’s concert being held in the city of passion, the response he received was out of this world. Even before the concert had begun, fans began chanting Kim Junsu’s songs together and during the concert, they responded to Kim Junsu’s each and every move. When Kim Junsu sang ‘I’m Confessing Right Now, OK?’, fans held placards that said ‘Junsu, Thank You’ and when he sang ‘Sorry’ for his encore, they all switched to blue fanlights to create a sea of blue. In response, Kim Junsu bowed before the song and said, “Thank you for the blue ocean.”

During ‘Genie Time’, when Kim Junsu granted his fans’ wishes, he sang ‘Golden Star’ from the musical ‘Mozart!’, as well as first part of ‘Cherry Blossom Ending’. The most special wish an encore of ‘Incredible’. The fan had fallen in love with the upbeat rhythm and powerful choreography that had everyone in the venue getting up to dance, and Kim Junsu got back on stage after the concert was over to perform the song a second time.

Jeri Slaughter made a surprise appearance on stage and said, “This is the first time I’ve stepped on stage since Janet Jackson’s concert four years ago. I did my best because I was so impressed by Junsu’s care and attention for his fans. The fans’ reaction and response was amazing. It was an incredible moment! Kim Junsu’s music is a never-ending story. His passion will never die.”

Kim Junsu expressed his gratitude and said, “I believe that releasing albums and holding concerts is a way to repay you all for the love you have given me. Though I became a singer because I love to sing, singing would be meaningless if there were no fans. As long as there are fans out there who want to listen to my music, I will always be here to sing for you.”

Meanwhile, Kim Junsu will now be returning to the stage as a musical actor for the musical ‘Elisabeth’. He plans to kick off the second part of his tour in Sydney, Australia on the 28th of September.

Max Changmin’s lips swelled up significantly.

 

During the episode of KBS 2TV’s ‘Our Neighborhood’s Master of Variety and Sports’ that aired on the 6th of August, the celebrity team set off to the Gangwon Province for an intensive training session.

 

Max Changmin was smacked in the mouth by an oar while being rocked by a strong current during the team’s river-rafting competition. Because of this, the area around Max Changmin’s lips swelled significantly.

However, Max Changmin received basic first aid treatment and returned to participate in all of the planned activities. While the others were enjoying lunch, he left to get ointment rubbed onto the affected area.

Though it was difficult for Max Changmin to talk because of the swelling, he used his dogged determination to help his duo get a decisive victory in the following badminton match. During their talk sessions, he did his best to participate in the conversation, despite his injury, instead of sitting out.

[TRANS] 130806 “We Want To See Kim Junsu’s Performances” – The Seoul Arts Center’s Homepage Crashes

Fierce competition for ‘Elisabeth’ tickets, the Seoul Arts Center’s homepage crashes

junetod2013

A flood of fans are aching for tickets to see JYJ’s Kim Junsu (XIA) in the musical ‘Elisabeth’, leading to the homepage of the Seoul Arts Center, who are in charge of ticket reservations for the musical, to crash.

At 10a.m. on the 6th, Interpark and the Seoul Arts Center opened up the third round of ticket reservations for the musical ‘Elisabeth’.

Kim Junsu’s fans flooded in to grab tickets for Kim Junsu’s performances. Almost as soon as reservations opened up, the Seoul Arts Center’s homepage crashed. Though fans could access Interpark, Kim Junsu’s shows were sold out in an instant.

The reason behind the Seoul Arts Center homepage’s crash is probably Kim Junsu’s fans. Many of the posts written on various online communities were made by Kim Junsu and JYJ’s fans and said, “I want to get a ticket but I can’t access the website.”

During the first and second round of ticket reservations, most Kim Junsu-related online communities were flooded with posts about buying tickets for Kim Junsu’s ‘Elisabeth’ performances.

Meanwhile, Kim Junsu, who is charge of the role Death (Tod), attended the ‘Elisabeth’ press call on the 25th of July at the Seoul Arts Center and said, “‘Elisabeth’ is the production that won me the Best Musical Actor Award. I loved working with the greatest actors of the industry and I wanted to feel that excitement again. I’m happy to be working with everyone in this year’s cast. I learned so much from Robert Johansson last year, and I’d like to learn more from him this year.”

The musical ‘Elisabeth’ is a production that depicts the life of the beautiful Austrian empress Elisabeth. Her dramatic life story of love and death is highlighted by the fantasy character of Death.

Ok Joo Hyun, Kim Junsu, Park Eun Tae, Min Young Ki and Lee Jung Hwa will be joined by Kim So Hyun, Park Hyo Shin, Lee Ji Hoon, Kim Isak and Noh Ji Hoon, and the musical will be performed from the 26th of July till the 7th of September at the Seoul Arts Center’s Opera Hall.
