During the press conference that was held after the showcase, Kim Junsu talked about his song ‘Isn’t This Song Funny’ and had everyone laughing when he said, “The song was done and all it needed was a title. But I found that nothing really worked as well as ‘Isn’t This Song Funny”. The staff members were at a loss for words when I told them about how I had chosen the title of the song.”
He continued to say, “When I was writing the lyrics, I tried to express what I had always wanted to say in a funny way. I left out any heavy material like love stories and looked back on things I had written on my Twitter account for my inspiration,” and “It’s a song that I wrote as a present to my fans.”
He smiled and said, “It’s supposed to be a bonus track so I was surprised to see how popular it is.”
Netizens who heard this left comments such as, “Isn’t This Song Funny, even the behind-the-scenes story is funny”, “Isn’t This Song Funny, the bonus tracks are always the jewel in any album,” and “Kim Junsu must not like writing about serious things.”
Meanwhile, ‘Isn’t This Song Funny’ has been drawing much attention for expressing the various happenings that Kim Junsu faced as a solo singer. A more fun and exciting aspect has been added with Boom’s narration.

[Trans] 130710 Tahiti Make An Official Apology For Using JYJ’s Song… “It Wasn’t Intentional But It Was Still Wrong”
[Trans] 130710 Tahiti Make An Official Apology For Using JYJ’s Song… “It Wasn’t Intentional But It Was Still Wrong”
Girl group Tahiti’s representatives have released an official apology regarding their use of the intro of JYJ’s hit song ‘Mission’ without permission.
In a phone conversation with MyDaily, a representative of Tahiti’s agency Dream Star Entertainment said, “We received an official statement from JYJ’s agency and sent them an official apology. Though it wasn’t intentional, it was still wrong of us to not be more thorough in checking the source of the song. We will make sure that incidents like this will not happen again.”
Tahiti used the intro of ‘Mission’ for their performances in Cambodia in March and at Hongik University in May, which was picked up by JYJ fans and uncovered that the song had been used without any permission.
The representative from Tahiti’s agency added, “We used the intro at the suggestion of a person who had worked on JYJ’s concerts. He told us that it was okay to use the music, so we didn’t think it would be an issue. We should have been more thorough in our background research, so we’re very sorry.”
Regarding this, JYJ’s agency C-JeS Entertainment stated, “We brought up the issue through an official statement to the entertainment agency in charge to retrieve the rights of our artistes, but we have decided not to take any legal action because it was not intentional. We are just waiting for a response from them instead. We would like for this to be an opportunity for everyone involved to learn the value of copyright laws.”

[Trans] 130711 Post of JYJ Tweets
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

I’m kind of terrified, yet excited for this song 
(Junsu, 5:01pm KST) It seems as though there are a lot of people who are curious about.. Isn’t this song funny..~
(Junsu, 5:04pm KST) If I were to describe this song.. Although every single staff member tried to stop me and told me that this wasn’t what I should be doing.. I didn’t step down from my decision and sang with a straight face. Even now, I find myself wondering, is this really okay? I feel.. nervous .. But I have pride in this song. lol
(Junsu, 5:07pm KST) When you hear this song.. forget that it’s me and just listen to it..^^ Because music is meant to be a creation of the freedom to express oneself~
pfffft

[Trans] 130701 [JYJ MW] Part 3: Seeing JYJ’s Fan Expo Through Numbers
[Trans] 130701 [JYJ MW] Part 3: Seeing JYJ’s Fan Expo Through Numbers
– 17,000 participants, an economic impact of 10 billion Won, a commercialization of 0 Won
– Said to have created a new business domain
A scene from the art gallery of the JYJ fan expo
JYJ held their ’2013 JYJ Membership Week’ fan expo from the 27th till the 30th of June at SETEC in Seoul. The ‘JYJ Membership Week’ is a large-scale fan expo held by C-JeS Entertainment for those signed up for the JYJ membership program.
The reason why JYJ’s fan expo has garnered so much attention is because it has shifted the paradigm away from that of fanmeets, concerts and handshake events held by other entertainment agencies. They haven’t stopped at just singing and acting, but they have also utilized artwork and technology to create various attractions for fans. JYJ began their fan expos last year and have placed their focus on new projects and creating a connection with their fans. They have received positive feedback for creating a new economically innovative paradigm for the Hallyu culture.
# 0
The ’2013 JYJ Membership Week’ event refused all offers from corporations and public institutions, and did not sell any MD goods. C-JeS Entertainment created an event with ’0 Won’ commercialization, with free fanmeets and art galleries. C-JeS Entertainment stated, “With the growth of Hallyu comes the need for new contents. By providing events such as free fanmeets, we have created a space for JYJ to spend time with their fans without a commercialized aspect, creating a stronger loyalty from fans and increasing JYJ’s value.”
# 3000
JYJ took the 3,000 pyeong space at SETEC, located in Daechi-dong, Seoul, and created three different spaces to share JYJ-related contents and JYJ’s own artwork.
The first area held a fanmeet open to fans chosen through a lottery system. The second area was a Media Facade square that featured a media facade, cafeteria and a sticker photo zone. The third area was an art gallery and concert hall that featured artwork created by JYJ and a screening of JYJ’s Tokyo Dome concert.
#17000
The ’2013 JYJ Membership Week’ event was attended by 17,000 fans. Thanks to the 4,000 Japanese fans who were visiting Korea for the event, Myeongdong’s Lotte Hotel experienced a rare treat. The shopping districts that had been suffering due to the depreciation of the Yen and the decrease of Japanese tourists were smiling once again thanks to these fans. It was later said that the Japanese fans also embarked on a tour that took them around Myeongdong and Gangnam. During the ’2012 JYJ Membership Week’ event, JYJ’s agency C-JeS Entertainment rented 3,500 hotel rooms in Seoul, Incheon and Suwon, and prepared 250 buses and 300 guides for Japanese fans attending the event. It was stated that this year’s event included similar preparations. Last year’s event attracted a total of 22,000 fans, including 7,024 Japanese fans, to break the record of the most foreigners flying to Korea to attend a single event.
#10 billion
The ’2013 JYJ Membership Week’ event is said to have created an extraordinary secondary economic impact because of the 4,000 Japanese fans who visited Korea for four days for the event. Although no commercial activity took place in the JYJ fan expo, the amount of money spent by fans on food and shopping is said to be around 10 billion Won. Last year’s ’2012 JYJ Membership Week’ event had overseas fans staying for three days and even if the lowest costs are taken into consideration, around 500,000 Won if each fan required eight meals during their stay in Korea, it can be estimated that each fan spent around 2 million Won, including the money they spent on their shopping expenditures. CEO Baek Chang Joo of C-JeS Entertainment stated, “We will be donated all the money raised through an auction of JYJ’s artwork, and we will keep creating spaces for stars and their fans to connect and become one.”

[Trans] 130701 [JYJ MW] Part 2: What’s Different… The Fusion Of Science Technology And Service
– A large-scale introduction of new technology through the fanmeet and art gallery… second movers emerge
A moment from the free fanmeet of the JYJ fan expo
The ’2013 JYJ Membership Week’ fan expo created new economically innovative contents, using JYJ’s singing and acting as its basis. At the center of it lies IT technology and the mindset of creating fan service that communicates with fans. Aya (Female, 24), who participated in the event, said, “I liked the JYJ art gallery because it showcased artwork created by the members and allowed us to connect with their emotions. The various artwork on display made me feel like they were with me the whole time.” A blogger who visited the fan expo commented, “I walked through a tunnel of screens that expressed JYJ’s words of welcome through videos. I didn’t know this at the time because I was lost in the videos, but an audio track was played to sync with the video messages.”

# vs Concert
JYJ’s fan expo screened footage from JYJ’s recent concert instead of holding an actual concert. Fans could attend a screening by reserving a seat beforehand at the ticket booth, and the concert was shown up to nine times a day at the Concert Hall section of the expo.
The concert hall had a large screen, surround sound system and an extravagant lighting set that mirrored an actual concert stage. Footage from JYJ’s Tokyo Dome concert in April was shown, giving Korean fans an opportunity to watch a 10,500 Yen (approximately 124,000 Won) Japanese concert for free.

# vs Fanmeet
A fanmeet with JYJ was held on the 29th and 30th for members who had been chosen through a lottery system. JYJ met, talked and played games with 4,000 fans across the two days. JYJ did their best in all of the programs to create happy memories for their fans, and added performances by the group and each member to complete a fanmeet that lasted over two hours. JYJ stated, “We’re so happy that this has become a festival for us to have fun and create new memories, and we’ll repay your love with more activities. We truly feel the love you give us, and we hope this will become an opportunity for the fans to feel our sincerity.”
JYJ’s fans met JYJ for free, without having to pay an entry free or buy MD goods. Through a gift coupon service, fans were able to exchange coupons for drinks, snacks, and various goods. Fans (official members) who were unable to attend the fanmeet will be sent a free DVD of the fanmeet and the event did not accept any gifts or wreaths.

# vs Art Gallery
JYJ’s fan expo featured a Media Facade (A fusion of ‘Facade’ and ‘Media’, in which media is heightened by LED lights shone on the side of walls)and an art gallery that featured artwork created by the members of JYJ.
The main feature of JYJ’s fan expo was that JYJ participated from beginning to end, starting with the planning process. Taking JYJ’s opinions into consideration, the fan expo incorporated a humanistic aspect to IT technology and large-scale projects. In order to create a space to connect with fans, JYJ featured artwork they had created themselves through a ‘JYJ Art Gallery’ to add a more analogy aspect to their expo.
Lee Jae Eun, the head of the PR department of C-JeS Entertainment, stated, “The JYJ fan expo’s economically innovative ideas have become a hot topic in the entertainment industry, even becoming a model for other Korean entertainment businesses to follow,” and “It has given us the opportunity to create a new fanmeet culture that is being called a brand new kind of Hallyu service by fans.”

[Trans] 130701 [JYJ MW] Part 1: ‘Innovative Economy’ Creating a Future Paradigm For The Entertainment Industry
A moment from the free fanmeet of the JYJ fan expo
JYJ’s fan expo came to a close on the 30th of June.
JYJ’s fan expo, titled the ‘JYJ Membership Week’, was held for a total of four days from the 27th of June at SETEC in Seoul. A total of 17,000 fans from Korean and Japan visited the event. CEO Baek Chang Joo of C-JeS Entertainment, JYJ’s agency, stated, “We’ve created a space for artistes and fans to meet. Because we’ve wanted this event to be a long-running event from the moment it was first created, we tried to make it a place for JYJ and their fans to connect with each other.”
JYJ’s fan expo consisted of a ‘Media Facade Square’, that showcased a large fountain that played JYJ’s music and a cafeteria that provided free drinks, a ‘JYJ Art Gallery’ that showcased various artwork created by JYJ and included a space for fans to create their own, and a ‘Concert Hall’ that showed JYJ’s April Tokyo Dome concert to their fans for free. Photo zones were created for fans to take photos with JYJ, and 10 photo sticker booths were set up for fans to create special memories at the event.
A moment from the free fanmeet of the JYJ fan expo
The reason why JYJ’s fan expo, which has entered its second year, has garnered so much attention is because it has brought forth a new paradigm that differs from the fanmeets, concerts and handshake events of other entertainment agencies. They haven’t stopped at just singing and acting, but they have also utilized artwork and technology to create various attractions for fans. Last year, they opened up the possibilities of commercializing IT technology by having the members of JYJ appearing through hologram videos. JYJ’s Membership Week has created a new term ‘fan expo’ and created attractions that showcase everything under the sun.
JYJ’s fan expo, which has shifted the paradigm in the industry, has also caused secondary economic effects. 4,000 Japanese fans arrived at Incheon and Gimpo Airports from the 27th of June to attend the expo. A representative of Lotte Hotel said, “Because of the depreciation of the Yen and the worsening relations of the two Koreas, the number of Japanese tourists in Korea has markedly decreased. The fact that 4,000 Japanese fans came to Korea to see JYJ is a surprising and welcomed event for the tourism industry.” Experts of the industry estimate that JYJ have brought an economic effect of 10 billion Won to Korea, if one considers the fact that each Japanese fan spent approximately 2 million Won each during their trip to Korea for the fan expo.”
C-JeS Entertainment stated, “We have tried to reduce the commercialization of the fan expo as much as possible by providing services such as the fanmeet and concert hall free of charge, as well as not selling any MD goods,” and “We tried to create a space for JYJ to connect with their fans more closely through the JYJ Membership Week.”

[TRANS] 130703 JYJ’s Junsu, His Ballad Tactics Have Worked… Unprecedented Results On Music Charts
[TRANS] 130703 JYJ’s Junsu, His Ballad Tactics Have Worked… Unprecedented Results On Music Charts
JYJ’s Kim Junsu released his new ballad ’11 o’clock, its adequacy’, which is garnering attention for successfully ranking high on various music charts.
Taking into consideration the fact that most male idol singers don’t do very well on online music charts, his feat of ranking high on various music charts with a ballad is extremely rare, and raises the anticipation for this second solo album.
’11 o’clock, its adequacy’ was released at noon on the 2nd and secured a spot in the top 5 rankings on Melon and Bugs today. What’s most surprising is that he was able to rank high with a ballad when hip-hop is the current craze with the return of Dynamic Duo.
Even his agency was extremely surprised by the results. They decided to push a ballad to showcase Kim Junsu’s vocal tone, but didn’t know that it would do so well on music charts, especially considering the fact that it wasn’t a OST buoyed by its drama. Many are surprised to see a ballad in the top 10 rankings these days.
This has increased the anticipation for Kim Junsu’s second solo album, which is set to be released on the 15th. His first solo album’s ‘Tarantallegra’ was not very approachable to the public, but this album has shifted a stronger focus on this aspect. Considering the fact that the title song’s genre has incorporated an element of hip-hop, which is snapping up top positions on music charts these days, the song is expected to be loved by fans and the public alike. With the number of acts who succeed without appearing on any broadcasted programs increasing, Junsu is ready to kick off his album and Asia Tour.
A representative of his agency stated, “We focused more on being approachable to the public with this upcoming album, and we’re all feeling very encouraged because the pre-released track is doing so well on music charts,” and “We hope that more people will be able to enjoy his solo album that will be released in two weeks.”
’11 o’clock, its adequacy’ is a song that expresses the sorrows of a man after a break up. The piano instrumental accentuates the emotions of Kim Junsu’s vocals and adds a dramatic element to the song, with a four seasons theme.
Kim Junsu recorded the whole song in one take and used only acoustic instruments to accentuate his charming tone. The special a cappella clip that was released on the same day as the music file has also garnered much attention for being filmed live in one take.
