[Trans] 110907 “Let’s Get JYJ On Music Bank!” Fans Are On The Move
With JYJ(Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu)’s first Korean album set to be released soon, fans have begun a movement to get the group on broadcasted music programs.
It has been found that JYJ’s fans plan to buy their albums at stores that are included in the album sales count of KBS 2TV’s ‘Music Bank’. Music Bank’s K-Chart Album Sales points are given according to the rankings from 1 to 100 on Hanteo Charts’ weekly nationwide album sales as well as the weekly album sales from Korea’s two major album distributors Synnara and Hottracks. Each album is then ranked proportionally to the total sales and given points accordingly.
But there is separate reason why JYJ’s fans are focusing on ‘Music Bank’. It is because KBS stated in May that JYJ were unable to appear on ‘Music Bank’ as they did not have an official album released at the time, which is the criteria for singers who wish to appear on the show. This means that when JYJ release their new album, there is no official reason that KBS can give to reject JYJ.
At the time of the announcement, C-JeS Entertainment stated, “We thank KBS for their official statement that says they will allow JYJ to appear on their music program when they release an official album,” and “Even just by looking at the recent events, anyone can surmise that the artiste can’t help but be in the weaker position as their appearances on broadcasted programs are blocked for various reasons.”
The upcoming album will contain songs that are composed by the members and were first released during JYJ’s world tour that began after they dropped their first worldwide album ‘The Beginning’ last October.
The title song ‘In heaven’ is a sad R&B ballad that is written by Kim Jaejoong and the album will consist of ten tracks that include ‘Get Out’ and ‘You’re’.

[[Trans] 110909 JYJ’s Junsu Supports Home For Woman Who Lost House In Fire
Thank You Junsu
Popular Korean group JYJ’s member Kim Junsu has participated in the UN-established ADRA Korea in the “House of Love” project.
On 7 September, ADRA Korea celebrated the moving-in ceremony of the “House of Love” project sponsored by Kim Junsu, at the new house for a woman in Paju, Gyeonggi-do.
In October last year, the woman who lives with her grandchildren lost her home to a fire. Until now, she has been surviving with the help of her fellow residents.
For this occasion, the house that was built with Junsu’s help is a 59.504 square meter wooden home which started construction on 21 June, and was completed with the help of 70 volunteers.
Also, Kim Junsu has been financially supporting ADRA Korea since 2008, and all the donations have gone towards continuing the “House of Love” project across the nation.
Only Jae could pretend to be drunk and sing so beautifully. As has been pointed out–excellent opportunity to showcase some skills. I love you, Jae. 🙂 Momma Cha
P.S. Yoochun did the same in ‘Miss Ripley’, and Junsu also in ‘Scent of A Woman’. Where there’s a will there’s a way.
[Trans] 110909 Kim Jaejoong, Unable To Appear On Music Programs, Sings In His Drama, ‘It’s Ingenious~’
Actor Kim Jaejoong showcased great wit when he used his experience as a singer to better the quality of his drama.
On the episode of SBS’ ‘Protect the Boss’ that aired on the 8th, Kim Jaejoong visited a karaoke with Seo Na Yoon (Wang Ji Hae) to soothe the pain from being rejected and showed off his vocal talent as he sang Shin Sung Woo’s ‘Prologue(Seoshi)’.
Contrary to most cases in which actors use a pre-recorded track for such scenes, the live audio of Kim Jaejoong’s singing was aired, adding to the ‘real factor’ of the drama. His emotional voice and the vein protruding on his neck were enough to steal the hearts of his female viewers.
What made this scene most memorable is the fact that it was the first time in a while since the public was able to see Kim Jaejoong sing on a broadcasted program. As many know from instances such as the sudden cancellation of JYJ’s Jeju performance, the group has faced many obstacles in their domestic activities. Furthermore, it’s close to impossible to see them on music programs.
Fans and viewers alike have put great meaning into the fact that Park Yoochun, who appeared in MBC’s ‘Miss Ripley’ earlier this year, and Kim Jaejoong have both showcased their singing talents through their respective dramas.
Not only this, but JYJ will soon be releasing their first Korean album ‘In heaven’. Many are curious to see what activities JYJ will partake in as they’ve already kicked things off on a good note through dramas.

Being the first and only stop currently across Southeast Asia, it’s no wonder SHINee The 1st Concert in Singapore: SHINee World was fully sold out 3 hours after it’s launch; with ticket prices going at $218, $168 and $138. The group which consists of member Onew, Taemin, Jonghyun, Minho and Key touch down Singapore in the morning of the 10th, the day when the concert was held. SHINee also belongs in SM Entertainment, the company which, group DBSK is in. Though the members look tired, Onew was spotted with a mask on at the aiport, from the journey here, they perform to their fullest that very night for their 6,000 fans at the Singapore Indoor Stadium which took 5 nights to set-up.
Even as it started to rain hours before the concert starts, the weather did not falter fans who are already seen queuing up for this much anticipated 21/2 hour concert. F&N, the official drink was even spotted giving fans the boost to carry out with their queue and the much needed energy for the concert. Most of the official goods were already out of stock, as most fans had place their pre-order weeks before the concert was held.
To add a little touch of Singapore for the concert, two Singaporean children were even handpicked to be a part of the much admired SHINee World Concert. Euclase Lim Rae, 5 years old, and Baptist Lim Siang Leong, 7 years old, portfolio is one to be admired off as they are featured in many of the local advertisements here. Both of these children made their appearance when the SHINee boys appeared, transformed into angels and sang “Lullaby” to them.
Not only fans from Singapore were present for the event but others such as Japan and Korea was spotted at the event too. Almost all fans came prepared with lightsticks and handmade placards, something which has become a necessity for any events. Fans of different age were also present. From the preschool to those in their forties were seen among the thousands of fans in the stadium; even the moshpit.
During their individual performances, Key and Taemin drew the most cheer when the latter dress up as a girl and both almost kissing each other. Onew, though having a hoarse voice, gave a stunning performance with his rendition of Turandot, Nessun Dorma. Minho known for his built drew the crowd wild once he unbuttoned his shirt and showed fans in full view, his packs. Jonghyun on the other hand, made the crowd speechless with his amazing notes.
The boys were seen not only seen performing on stage, but they flew for quite a number of their performances. Something which has not been done much for concerts held here in Singapore.
Apart from their performance, the concert played several videos in between the songs which also acts as an intro to their next songs.
Throughout the concerts, fans were seen singing and dancing along with the boys, be it for those sitting down or in the moshpit. Many of the fans at the mosh pit fans though were busy running up and down the pit to follow after their favourite member and getting as close to them as they possible could. Fan-chanting was heard the loudest when “Lucifer” a song from their latest album was sang.

For member Key, whose birthday falls on September 23rd, the fans did a special event, a banner with “Happy ‘키’ Day!”, which caught the attention of the boys, claiming it being one of the things which they are touch most during the entire concert. The other members even held a small celebration for Key which excites many of their fans present. Key then went on thanking his fans and even promise to be back to Singapore once again.
Though the concert has ended, many fans hesitated to leaving the venue in hopes that the boys would return on stage for a last goodbye. Up till the last moments, fans were seen asking the stage crew, who were clearing up the stage and picking up gifts thrown in by fans, for the items worn by the boys themself. In hopes of getting a memorabilia of the SHINee’s 1st Concert held in Singapore.
Being the junior of DBSK, these five boys really do amaze the crowds with their amazing powerful voices and stunning performances. Just like their seniors, even when they are sick, they will put their best in every single stage they stand on. Something which all fans are proud off no matter which artistes they support. SHINee will continue with their world tour and is currently promoting their Japanese single “Lucifer”. Sharingyoochun would like to thank the organizers, Running Into The Sun, Conceptual and their partner Fly Entertainment for the invite and for making this event possible for Showals. Till we meet again.
Well, the last episode of “Scent of A Woman’ is over. I fully expected Yeon Jae to be taken away from her family and loved ones, and us, but to my surprise–the writers decided to leave it in our hands as to the outcome. The ending is fraught not with angst as much as with hope. There is hope, if we choose to embrace it, that somehow a miracle can occur and our hero and heroine can remain together, marry, and raise a family. After all, that was Yeon Jae’s hearts desire from the beginning of this drama.
We all learned early-on that this was not a typical drama. It is adult material; not designed for children, and is really a melodrama in it’s intensity. Our own Kim Junsu played a pivotal role in this drama, and listening to his soothing voice sing “You Are So Beautiful’ made this drama so much more bearable. I was happy to see changes in everyone’s character through the course of this drama, and I rejoiced to see Ji Wook stand up to his responsibilities as a loved one and a son.
Lee Dong Wook played his role as a ‘straight man’ with no exaggerated moves or emotions. He serves as a steady shoulder to rely on and a tender heart that cares deeply for Yeon Jae. He denies her nothing that she asks and only lives for her comfort.
In the course of time, Yeon Jae manages to heal wounds and to build bridges
to support all those around her, including her ‘rival’, Se Kyeong. Seo Hyo Rim (SKKS) is an excellent actress who matures through her own heart struggles through this drama.
This drama is one that will touch lives for years to come, and serves as a reminder to those of us who have lived through the attack of cancer, that grace and hope through God are ever present at our door.

Kim Sun Ah has lately been promoting the makeup brand Makeup Forever. Her pictures for the brand were uploaded on Makeup Forever’s official Facebook page, revealing her radiant youthful looking skin. What’s surprising is that the pictures were not airbrushed or edited!
There are no dark spots on her face, and her skin appears almost translucent. Her makeup was kept light and simple. Because she took such good care of it for a long time, her skin tone is perfect as well. It’s difficult to believe that these pictures are 100% natural with no airbrushing or photoshop.
She showed a natural look as she applied lipstick and HD foundation. It’s the kind of look that makes women want to immediately go out to the store and pick up the product. As a makeup model, she not only promoted the products, but proved that keeping things natural and simple is the best way to go.
Makeup Forever representative Park Jae Min commented, “Kim Sun Ah is a queen of natural beauty. We are using her as a model to promote the charm and beauty that flows out of natural beauties.” He also added that she promotes a “honest and confident” image.
