XIA (Junsu) has returned with an album full of challenges.

IA (Kim Junsu) held a showcase at the UNIQLO AX Hall on the 15th to commemorate the release of his second solo album ‘Incredible’.

It’s been a year since he last made an appearance as solo singer ‘XIA’, and not a member of JYJ. Although he has been busy as a musical actor, he put all his effort into preparing his latest album, and did not disappoint fans as he has come back as a more mature singer.

During the press conference that was held after the showcase, Kim Junsu said, “I tried to put as many different genres as possible in this album. I only started choosing songs after I decided which genres I wanted in my album, and I paid much more attention in my song selection process this year.”

His vocal skills have changed drastically as well. Regarding this, Kim Junsu said, “I can’t say that my time as a musical actor hasn’t influenced the way I sing at all, but I tried very hard to find the perfect balance. I tried to find what worked best for each song, and applied that to my music, ” and “I left it up to the feel of the song.”

Kim Junsu emphasized, “This album was a great challenge for me. I wanted to discover a new side of me through this album.”

He expressed his hesitation of filling the majority of the album with his own compositions. He said, “When artistes compose their own music, the good thing is that they are able to put all of their strengths into one song. But you might also get yourself stuck in one mould,” and “Although I try to branch out when I write music, the quality of my album might drop if I become too greedy about writing and singing my own songs. I focused most on choosing the best songs.”

The showcase that was held on the same day was aired live on MelonTV. Kim Junsu performed a total of four songs, ‘Tarantallegra’, ’11 o’clock’, ‘I’m Sorry’ and ‘Incredible’, to perfect his successful comeback.

Starting on the 20th in Bangkok, Thailand, Kim Junsu will set off on his world tour that will take him to Shanghai, China on the 20th, Seoul on the 3rd and 4th of August, and Busan on the 10th and 11th of August.

His second solo album showcase.. A Summer dance track ‘Incredible’

JYJ’s Kim Junsu (XIA, 26) has come back with his technicolor second solo album ‘Incredible’.

Kim Junsu held a showcase for 1,200 fans at the UNIQLO AX Hall in Seoul on the 15th. The day’s event was aired live through Melon and LoenTV (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sa351v9k4g).

Having released his new album on various online music sites and iTunes, Kim Junsu performed a total of four songs, ‘Tarantallegra’ from his first album, and ’11 o’clock’, ‘I’m Sorry’, and ‘Incredible’ from the second album.

Appearing on a throne, the singer exuded an air of confidence and charisma for his rendition of ‘Tarantallegra’.He continued to sing ’11 o’clock’ a capella, till he was joined by a piano halfway through. ‘I’m Sorry’, which is a traditional ballad, captivated his fans with his husky voice.

Last of all, Kim Junsu walked on stage wearing the red jacket he donned in his music video and was joined by his neon-clad dance crew. He performed ‘Incredible’ for the first time, showing off his perfect live skills, unmarred by a difficult choreography. The song has a fun melody and strong beat, and showcases Kim Junsu’s powerful performance capabilities. As a collaboration with composer Automatic, who Kim Junsu worked with for his US single ‘Uncommitted’, ‘Incredible’ features a rap segment from Puff Daddy’s son Quincy Brown.

The music video was shot in a house in Malibu and is as refreshing as the song itself. When fans honed in on the kiss scene in the music video, Kim Junsu feigned ignorance as he said, “Oh, the kiss scene. Was that included?” He had everyone laughing as he said, “I just pretended to kiss her. I took on the ‘American mindset’. Whether it actually happened or not is up to your imagination. Then again, this is all just business…”

During the press conference that was held after the showcase, Kim Junsu said, “This is the first time in nearly four years that I stood in front of a camera (for a broadcasted show). Although it wasn’t on TV, it was still a broadcasted program and it was fun and exciting. I had a great time.” Kim Junsu has been unable to appear on broadcasted programs in the past due to his legal dispute with his former agency SM Entertainment.

Kim Junsu’s second album features a total of 12 tracks, including the pre-released track ’11 o’clock’. Kim Junsu participated in the composing, lyric writing and producing process of the album and showcased his maturity as a singer.

His second album features a variety of genres including dance, ballad, electronic, funk, neo-soul, R&B and acoustic. C-JeS Entertainment stated, “The composers who participated in this album all praised Kim Junsu for his musical abilities and value as a vocalist.”

Kim Junsu will be kicking off his Asia Tour with the release of his new album. Staring in Bangkok, Thailand on the 20th, he will hold concerts in Shanghai (28th), Seoul (August 3rd~4th), and Busan (10th, 11th).

Junsu’s new Music Video is active and challenging dance and imagery…  Please invest in Junsu and buy this album.

This album has a lot of hip hop, jazz and R&B  influence. The ballads are soulful and beautiful. There are also some retro elements here. To be honest, the genres are all over the map. This is a definite leap and a new approach. It takes time to absorb. Great Job June!!! 🙂 <3

Beautiful words :’)
(Jaejoong, 5:27pm KST) Imagine that we had no eyes. If we had no eyes, we would feel the ‘warmth’ of sunlight before the dazzling light made it unbearable, we would experience the ‘scent’ of a flower before its beautifulness, and we would understand the ‘heart’ of a person before we formed our impression of them from sight.
(Jaejoong, 5:27pm KST) The things that are most important in this world are those that cannot be seen with our eyes. – Kwon Dae Woong <A Day>

According to this representative, Quincy Brown makes the song more mesmerizing with his English rap that begins with ‘You’re so hypnotic girl, you’re incredible’.

They continued to add, “The partnership of XIA (Junsu) and Quincy Brown, such energetic artistes, has created a high-quality song. The two artistes met at the music video shooting in L.A. and enjoyed their time together, talking about music,” and “XIA (Junsu)’s music video is a fusion of a song and video that goes great with the Summer season.”

XIA (Junsu)’s ‘Incredible’ music video brought back the staff behind the music video of his first album’s title song ‘TARANTALLEGRA’, which was praised for its sophistication.

But what does this mean????
(Junsu, 5:28pm KST) ha

Child is bored. Tweets a lot. GOOD.
(Junsu, 5:52pm KST) Yesterday… I got bored after wrapping up our schedule, so I played catch with Yoochun and Jaejoong. There weren’t any left-handed gloves so I just threw while our managers caught the ball. Jaejoong’s right-handed so he caught the ball as well… and he surprised me by being so good at it. People stared at us in surprise and curiosity.. It must be that playing catch is very rare in Europe..

(Junsu, 5:55pm KST) Since coming to Chamonix.. should I call them products of modern civilization.. or should I call it culture.. I haven’t encountered it at all.. We’ve just been seeing mountains.. and lakes, and I just walk around.. and sleep. It’s nice to have such a repetitive lifestyle at times.. But three days have passed, and I’m bored. I’m even tweeting.. I must be really bored right now.

(Junsu, 6:05pm KST) I’m.. quite special because I’m only right-handed when I write, and left-handed for everything else.. Everything is so difficult when I use my right hand.. I’m a perfect left-handed person.. Yoochun’s also a left-handed person.. but he plays golf with his right hand.. When I asked him how that’s possible, he said it just happens.. Amazing, isn’t it? …. He must be  ambidextrous.

(Junsu, 6:35pm KST) Mont Blanc today, but Korea tomorrow..

(Junsu, 6:41pm KST) Junsu~ I like the movements you’ve changed slightly for The Last Dance~ Like the part where Elisabeth moves as though Tod is controlling her. When we were doing a run-through yesterday, I told the people in EMK that the dramatic explanation becomes more heightened in that moment 《 I just received this KakaoTalk message from Ok Elisabeth just now.. lol

[Trans] 130710 [C-JeS] Our Business Dispute With Loen Entertainment Has Come To An Amicable Resolution

Hello.

This is C-JeS Entertainment’s CEO Baek Chang Joo.

Our business dispute with Loen Entertainment (henceforth known as Loen) has come to an amicable resolution. Last night, we met with Loen’s representative staff members and received an official statement that they would progress with the planned distribution of XIA (Junsu)’s second solo album, as well as the previously agreed upon promotional marketing strategies.

There will be a live global broadcasting on of XIA (Junsu)’s showcase, which many fans have been waiting for, on Melon TV and Loen will be able to keep their promise with Melon users. Online promotions for XIA (Junsu)’s second solo album have been normalized, and we are now able to provide a lawful performance and music to those who love and support XIA (Junsu)’s music.

We would like to show our deep gratitude to the press who gave an entertainment agency with a desperate situation their attention, and the public for giving us their support.

We will repay this support with various activities from the release of XIA (Junsu)’s second solo album on the 15th to his Asia Tour.
