[TRANS] 120112 Not Justin Bieber, Not Miley Cyrus: Korean Band Breaks Peru’s Ticket Sales Records
JYJ, a popular K-pop group, sold half their concert tickets within half an hour. They will be performing in Lima, the capital of Peru, on 11 March.
Perhaps before you read this article, you would be wondering about two things, who is JYJ, and what is this K-pop that they represent. Without being mentioned on the radio, and never having appeared on television programs such as MTV, and their albums are not sold in Peru. Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu, Korean names that are hard for us to pronounce, have created a new record in our country. Their fans created a record of buying half the total number of tickets within 30 minutes for this concert which will be held at Estadio Monumental on 11 March.
According to Carlos Huamán, one of the people who made this concert happen, two of the ticket categories was sold out within the first day.
It is expected that a crowd of 10,000 will be mobilized for the JYJ concert, and this is a historical moment for fans of K-pop, a leading representative of Asian pop culture.
Another noteworthy point is that they will be arriving in Lima on 10 March, and will hold their concert immediately after that.
Data : The previous record for fastest selling tickets was held by the Jonas Brothers in 2009 when tickets for their first show sold out in 5 days.

Yeah, Yeah!! Do your best in Peru Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu. You have our support always. Why are we not surprised that you are breaking yet another ticket sales record?
😉
Yeah, yeah indeed ~ ! I am not surprised either, though there is some sort of joyful shock involved at seeing headlines like these ~ ! I hope the three will have fun in Peru and make a lot of wonderful memories with the fans. I anticipate much joy. ^_^ How are you Cha? Feeling better I hope. It`s so cold ( this comment is made with both our whereabouts in mind. ^^) and dark (again…) but music, among other things, makes this time of year bearable.
( Love the dark background. Very soothing. :))
Sorry, YF. This theme is so not conducive to seeing new comments because the avatars do not show. I thought you had left theplanet. 🙂 Confession: I think I do some days. We are finally in full-blown winter. It didn’t really snow until mid-January, but we’ve had four snowfalls in the last week. It is heavy, wet snow. We’ve had a lot of sunshine though.
I have to leadworship Wednesday night. Please pray for good weather. The driving right now is hazardous.
I feel so out of the loop right now. It seems as if we get info but sometimes the details are sketchy. Have you been on the Facebook page?
Our guys beat the Jonas brothers in Peru! Record-Breakers!
I guess Mikey Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers are forces to be pitted against.
Our Men are popular wherever they go and they will going more places than this. The last time that I saw anything close was The Beatles.
