[TRANS] 120112 For Now, Please Call JYJ “Actors”
After stopping musical and drama related activites for a while, members of popular idol group JYJ is now starting to take another step towards planning for activities related to acting. Park Yoochun has been selected as the male lead for the new SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama “Prince of the Rooftop House” and concrete details on dates and the signing of the actual contract is expected to be completed by this weekend. (T/N: This may not be true since there are articles that refute this)
“Prince of the Rooftop House” is a romantic comedy about a prince from the Chosun era who lost his wife during a war, and travels through time to the modern world to look for love. This role is said to have been created with Park Yoochun in mind even from the planning stages.
Member Kim Jaejoong’s acting activities are easily comparable to Park Yoochun’s. He made his debut last year in SBS’s “Protect the Boss,” and has also received requests to appear in 2-3 dramas, and these have been put up for review and planning as part of his schedule for the first half part of this year.
While Park Yoochun and Kim Jaejoong focus on the silver screen, member Kim Junsu pulls the attention of the masses to the musical industry. Kim Junsu will be meeting the fans via “Elisabeth,” which will be playing in Blue Square in Hannam-dong, Seoul starting from 8 February. He has been working hard daily in preparation for this first performance since the start of December last year.
These 3 men who are will be active in the drama and musical industries will be coming together as JYJ in March for the South American concert tours. They will be performing in Santiago, the capital of Chile on 9 March, and Lima, the capital of Peru on 11 March for the their first solo concerts. (in South America.)

I have seen several references within the last couple of days about what to call JYJ. Someone suggested actors; another singers; yet another entertainers.
They are all that and more–and I believe that if we asked them they would say
that they are all of these.
Singers; actors; entertainers–semantics all. Jaejoong, Junsu,and Yoochun are simply themselves–multi-talented; multi-facted men. <333
