[FanAccount] “Asia’s Star Xiah Junsu” participated in Junsu’s Cameo SHoot!!!
Hello. This is Asia’s Star Xiah Junsu. ^.^
Yesterday was such a happy and fun day, we think. We are truly thankful for the many people who participated in the event despite the difficult weather. Further, we are so thankful for your help to make the event proceed smoothly. (You are the true fans. Our fans seriously rock, rock!! >__< Well~ then the account begins~ ^.^
Due to the heavy rain of the past few days, the days were such that they made us nervous and more nervous as to whether the filming would be cancelled or whether it would be proceeded with smoothly, right? T.T
The 400 people who were with us from the morning in the middle of the rain that poured down. How can we relay the thankful heart…
The fans who are like the evergreen tree who stayed in their places despite the repeated delays… it was such a pretty sight that we wanted to give you kisses ^.^;;;
Really you were ordered one by one, and even the support tools—how pretty you made them. (How far does your imagination go!!!!! Wow!!!!)
It was humid and it must have been difficult to wait for such a long time but we thank you for having participated in a warm spirit ^.^
The foreign fans who crossed the ocean to come to Seoul! These are the many many fans of Junsu who are stretched out beyond Asia to the USA and Europe.
Even if the words do not communicate well, it seemed that the passion with which we love Junsu made all of us one!
This is a fan from Spain who says she loves Junsu very very much.
Wow~ @.@ That is not a henna!!! It is said to be a real tattoo~ ^.^
We also relay words of deep thanks to the production crew of SBS The Scent of a Woman, who meticulously were attentive and were considerate towards us for many things, saying that from the beginning to the end they wanted to construct the scene of a fan meeting that was really for the “fans of Junsu.” (They were really kind to the (website) administrators to make them comfortable and were very considerate towards the fans! ^.^)
Further, the actors Kim Sunah-nim and Um Kijoon-nim who looked at us with kindness and supported us with passion! And Lee Dongwook-nim who stretched out his thumbs even and said hello ^.^ We are very thankful!
If we could have one request, when you edit, please make Junsu’s part long…. (*bow* *bow*)
It was a cameo but how was the look of Junsu who was acting seriously? Junsu who was acting was so very cool~ but Junsu on top of a stage was really shining ^.^
Looking forward to us being able to see him on a stage soon! (Our website) Asia’s Star Xiah Junsu supports “Asia’s Star” Junsu.
[TRANS] 110708 Translation of AnAn Story Behind A Shoot
>> Friday, July 8, 2011
A cosplay photo session began outside the studio!
When TVXQ noticed that, they………!
The cover of this week’s an an was graced by TVXQ! This was their first appearance on this magazine. Yunho dressed in a gray shirt and Changmin in gray parka smartly. They had an affectionate look in a relaxed atmosphere.
This is a story before the shoot began. When we were waiting for them to change for the shoot, it got noisy outside the building. We looked down from the window and found out that “cosplay geek” girls are having a photo session on the street! The staff members were so excited and gathered at the window, completely ignoring the work, because the girls were wearing unusually designed colorful miniskirts…. At that moment, the two boys came in the studio greeting “I beg your kindness”. When they went in front of the cameras, a staff member said to them “Girls are doing a cosplay photo session out there!”
Yunho and Changmin glanced out the window and murmured “……oh” with a little bit delighted look. I thought inwardly “Not you, too. You are the most clean-cut and likable boys in Asia……..”. But they were different from the staff members. They put an earnest look on their face in a moment and stood in front of the cameras (while all the staff members were still at the window ignoring their work). They are so professional. They are not distracted at all even in such a disorganized atmosphere! During the photo shoot, they were awesome and amazing and made us completely forget the cosplayers.
Please check their photos in An An. They will make your body and soul melt.
[Fanaccount] 110626 JYJ Concert in Gwangju’s MC (Excerpts)
Part I:
JJ: You all came even in such a bad typhoon weather, it must be hard for everyone who came to Gwangju! Then, we heard that there’s a lot of people who were unable to come here. We will work hard for those empty seats, today’s concert will be even brighter! Firstly, members, please say your greetings.
JS: Hi everyone, I’m very happy to see you all. Today is a meaningful day, the long trip for 2010 World Tour will end today in Gwangju. Because we have prepared the handsome stage and performance, and the ability to interact more with everyone is good enough. Just like what was said, even though there’s a typhoon and yet you all came, really appreciate that!
YC: Hi everyone, I’m Yoochun. I’m very happy to see everyone. Junsu’s hairstyle for today is very handsome right? Jaejoong hyung and I, and I personally like this hairstyle of Junsu’s, thus was hoping to see this hairstyle. For the last performance today, Junsu especially styled this hair. Jaejoong hyung, you dyed your hair black for today too, right?
JJ: Yes, ah, erm… yes? Hahaha~
YC: No matter what, yesterday I read the weather forecast for today. This afternoon at 3pm, the typhoon warning was broadcasted right? (I) feel that with everybody’s passion and our hardworking performance, probably the typhoon would not come here. Anyway, (we) would experience the typhoon when we returned to Seoul. Because it’s the last stage today, therefore everyone seems to have came watching, with anticipation and reluctance. Today we said this when we were rehearsing, “Today is the last round,
(we) have to enjoy it well.” Thus we hoped everybody can watch it happily.
JJ: Yes, (today’s) last public performance can be the performance that round things up. And, kehahaha. Everyone has been saying if only our MC section can be longer. We will talk for a very long while today, don’t worry. Firstly, it just started, so we’ll now use our singing to thank everyone.
Part II:
JJ: Thank you. This performance will conclude with this song… I’m sorry to smile and talk at such a sad part. Ah, today is our last stop for the world tour, and also this place is, of course smaller than Busan’s, but because of the support that was not any incomparable to Busan’s, I’m really very happy, We JYJ were very blessed and very thankful. So, the last song that we all knew, and we know that (we and fans) are very reluctant to leave, but it really is the last song. If I were to continue like this, everyone will have to work hard on the internet in the end right? But can it be that it was the world tour’s last stop, our members would like to say a few words, lastly, let’s say our greetings one by one.
YC: Starting from me? Okay, in fact, if we were unable to have a concert, we wouldn’t have the chance to meet everyone, isn’t it? Right? Therefore, with such thoughts, no matter the singles we have prepared, the albums we have prepared, even though it was prepared, there’s no stages for us to perform. There were times of disheartened during productions, there were times like these. But because we debuted as singers, therefore we would want to be happy with everyone again at stage like this, the place that we adored the most. It is more meaningful than any broadcast, than any stage, the place that we loved the most is a concert performance. Due to the worldwide album, we are really thankful to be able to stand at a stage like this, it feels very good. Of course every member is very busy. What is the most important thing, what is the thing that we need the most, we also would want to remember that JYJ is not a normal name only. Hoped that everyone can continue to give us the support. We really hoped to meet everyone with an even more handsome public performance. Thank you.
JS: Today is the last stop for this year, and the last stop for the tour and what’s left is the next song. Although we have stood on many stages, but with the name of JYJ, and to once again breathe in the same place with everyone, it was the most basic to me, but was also the most difficult place. Therefore, our tour for this year was not spreading strength, it’s where we received strength, it would be good if this strength can last us till the end of this year. No matter when, although we have always said this, but we really want to truthfully thank everyone. Thank you.
JJ: So, this is the last song. Our story will continue in the future, and will present with no limits to everyone, a better look, a more suave look. We feel that the road for us in the future will still be endless. There are a lot of things to do, a lot of hurdles to overcome, there are a lot of newcomers too, and (we) also heard a bit about fans ‘climbing over the walls’ (T/N: changed to other idols-loving, i.e.) But, there are not much time, and we’ve aged. Recently, if I did not shave for one day, facial stubble could be seen, if we did not eat for a meal… the belly that did not protrude will also be out, it’s as though we have hit our first phase of andropause.
JJ: First and foremost, our passion and the things we wanted to do in the future that’s yet to be done, now is the ideal we had during preparation as trainees. Through that ideal, we feel that we will be more confident and grow even more. If the heart that believed in us will continue to support us, then we will do it with all our best effort till the end. Is there anyone who is in their third phase of menopause/andropause? Hahaha. Joking. Then… I’m sorry. Created such an ambiguous atmosphere. Firstly, we JYJ have worked hard for the tour, it was hard for everyone too. Presenting to everyone the last song, In Heaven.

[Fanaccount] JYJ World Tour in Busan [11-12 June 2011]
So finally, I was there.. I was in Busan for JYJ concert.. after so many weeks of doubt, frustration, anger, despair and tears, I could get those so precious tickets for the most wonderful event of 2011.. Thank you so much Monica and Reina for getting me those tickets.. without you, I would have never attended the first tour directed by Kim Jaejoong, and it would have been one of my biggest regret as a fan.. something I wouldnt have forgiven myself.. This concert, I knew I couldnt miss it.. so I’ll never thank you enough for giving me this wonderful opportunity..
The so precious “tickets to Heaven”
Thank you also Jenny and Kyung Yeon for accompanying me during a part of this journey, this was so amazing to meet you and experience those great moment together… you girls are the best!!
Anyway, so my journey in Busan started pretty funnyly indeed.. when I got in the Limousine bus to go from Gimhae airport to the hotel, my sister thought it was a great idea to call me at this moment.. so yeah, suddenly I heard the ringtone “I want you in my plans.. I want you in my plans babyyyy”.. okie great.. now the whole bus know the reason why I am in Busan.. lolz.. and when I finally arrived in Seomyeon area, I walked the wrong way looking for my hotel, and I lost myself and my luggages in the backalleys, thanksfully a taxi driver stopped for me.. then I realized I was really not far away.. I paid only 2600 wons.. lolz.. when I finally arrived, I was too exhausted to do anything else.. so I stayed there in my room and relaxed..
The very cute subway card in Busan
When I saw this one, I picked it right away..
The second day, Jenny and me finally met.. we found each other easily at Seomyeon station thanks to the phone hehe.. and first surprise, when we were about to take the subway to Haeundae beach, we saw Jaejoong subway ads.. such a proud feeling..
Our director.. our pride
then as we planned before, we went to visit Haeundae beach and the aquarium.. this so beautiful aquarium where Jaejoong took pictures with his friends (and definitely a must see.. even though I visited the aquarium in Valencia (Spain) before, I never saw so many varieties of fishes).. also we were lucky because not a long time ago, there was this famous festival where artists build sand castles and any kind of sand sculptures..
Busan Aquarium where Jae took the picture
Saturday 11th june~ Goods and Concert
I woke up early this morning.. too much excitement and impatience in my heart.. no matter how many times I’ll see JYJ in concert, I think I’ll always get this feeling, as if it was my very first time, all over again.. no matter how many times, I think the withdrawal syndrome and the emptiness I feel when everything is over will never stop.. I’ll never get enough of them.. never.. they’re just too amazing.. do they even know what they do to me.. to many of us..
Anyway, so after eating my breakfast, I walked happily to the station, where I was supposed to meet Kyung Yeon, and later Jenny.. having absolutely no clue where was this station, I lost myself in Busanjin-gu.. lolz.. when I finally found it, I got to know (via Monica on twitter) that sadly our Xiahpwa was sick in the morning and we could meet only later.. so I headed alone to Sajik stadium for the goods.. clumsy me stopped at Sajik station (the name fit the name of the stadium.. lolz).. but when I exited there, there was no souls around.. lolz.. Besides, no stadium in sight.. so yeah, I remembered Seoul, Sports Complex station.. it was the same name, so I went back to Sports Complex station and found some fans to follow and Asiad Stadium in sight (looking at it, I couldnt help but thinking how nice the concert would have been inside.. but somehow, I loved how close we were from the boys during the concert, due to the not so big venue)..
Sajik Indoor Gymnasium
To reach the stadium from the station, you have to walk quite a bit, and that day was very very hot, the sun was burning (I even caught a sunburn).. so I was worried we”ll have to wait for too long.. but when I arrived, the line was still ok.. its just the goods hadnt started selling then.. lolz.. so I waited in line with others.. cursing myself for not bringing my umbrella.. yeah, in my country, you use an umbrella only for the rain.. it was not raining when I left my hotel, so I decided to not bring it with me.. huge mistake!!! no umbrella, no cap, nothing, I was in a very uncomfortable situation and thankfully, besides me there was a very sweet korean fan, who shared half of her umbrella with me, protecting me from the sun.. Thank you so much, adorable fan.. this JYJ family is really wonderful and caring.. somehow, she reminded me a lot of this fan in Seoul, who lent a blanket to my sister and me.. maybe she was the same person indeed.. anyway, so we waited for the goods, surrounded by fans speaking korean, japanese, chinese.. and while waiting, Jenny and later Kyung Yeon joined me, so we could grab our goods..
Goods for Busan concert
Then we left and at the subway station, you could see many JYJ ads on the wall.. Sports Complex station was all about JYJ.. so beautiful.
JYJ ads in Sports Complex Station
Anyway, Kyung Yeon led us everywhere we asked for, buying Tio for us, then to NII store, and eating korean food.. then she checked if our lightsticks were worked fine.. and bad luck, Jenny’s lightstick wasnt working.. so we headed back to the venue to change it.. haha.. Kyung Yeon took care of everything then (she is such a lively and amazing girl.. it was something to witness her talking on the phone with Monica.. she is so funny.. but also sweet and caring), while Jenny and me walked around, taking pictures of the venue, the banners, the so amazing Jaejoong bus, and the fans also..
Kim Jaejoong, Our Director, Our Pride
Yoochun’s banner
Junsu’s banner

JYJ fans all around the venue~
The diversity of this fandom never fails to amaze me.. any age (children to pretty older women), any gender (yeah, we saw few fanboys around), any nationality or race.. I believe no other group than JYJ has such a “colored” fandom.. and to me, it proves their talent as artists.. they’re one of a kind.. I wish Korea would understand this and protect them, because they’re truly the best ambassadors overseas… anyway, later we sat on the floor waiting, and we could listen the boys rehearsing inside already.. Get Out.. Empty.. raising our excitement to the highest.. after a while, we could see waiting lines forming, so we followed one too.. and such a loooong waiting line.. its hard to believe we were “only” 10,000 fans.. it looked like so much more.. at first, we thought we were not so far away from the door, but indeed, the waiting line was leading behind the stadium to go back to this same door, moving just like a snake!!!!!! we were so tired already, and the concert didnt even start.. haha.. Kyung Yeon was worried to fall asleep in front of Junsu.. lolz.. as if it could happen!!
Anyway, once inside the venue, we realized our seats were absolutely awesome.. 2nd floor pretty much in front of the smaller stage (at the right), first row somehow.. this was the best!! *thank you Moni!!*.. then on our seats we could find the yellow lightstick with explanations for use written in korean and english.. it was very very well organized..
Yellow lightstick and explanation
Ah this yellow lightstick that kept glowing all night long,
lighting my hotel room, as if I was still at the concert.. lolz
And while waiting for the beginning of the show, I looked around, witnessing the venue filling up little by little and admiring the wonderful stage setting.. work of a genius.. as the venue was filling up, the red lights glowing (some green lights also for my JaeJae), the excitement was growing more and more.. we could hear Boy’s letter and In Heaven music playing in background..
The venue filling up little by little
then they played the flashmob on the screen, so I started rehearsing for it (rehearsal was very much needed, as I never danced it again after the concerts in Seoul last november lolz).. fans around me were doing the same haha.. anyway, then they turned off the lights, and The Beginning music started playing with the pictures introduction on the screen.. the green lasers flashing all around the venue, raising up even more (if possible) our excitement.. fans kept screaming when their bias was appearing on the screen lolz.. then suddenly, the boys were thrown from under the stage onto the stage.. and oh wonderful surprise, the one appearing in front of my eyes was Jaejoong.. how lucky and I didnt even prepare my camera then.. haha.. but my eyes were so focused on him, that now I am unable to tell you where were Junsu and Yoochun.. even though I believe Yoochun was on the main stage, and Junsu on the small stage at the left..
Jaejoong performing Empty on the stage in front of me
Short Fancam of JYJ singing Nine
JYJ performing Be My Girl (I think.. lolz)
Anyway, that night , we had the chance to have “Be my girl” performed on the small stage in front of us.. not really the small stage, but the path leading to it, and they were facing the right side of the crowd.. and so, right in front of our eyes, we could see perfectly Junsu’s hips moves (profile side *yum yum*).., I am Jae biased, but I must say without any guilt, that Junsu’s hips moves during “Be my girl” is a sight for the eyes.. so incredibly sexy.. our Xiahpwa besides me was sure very pleased.. lolz.. Also, Junsu and Yoochun’s solo were performed in this same stage.. so when “I can soar” started playing, Kyung Yeon screamed “Junsuuuu” just when the venue became suddenly silent.. lolz.. I am sure Junsu could feel the love.. If it had been during the ment, I am sure the boys would have teased hehe.. Junsu’s solo is really beautiful and the choregraphy looks enchanting with the dancer dancing like a butterfly around him.. while the choregraphy for Yoochun and Jaejoong’s solo are made to tease the fangirls!!! very hot, sexy and bold.. and I think it would be interesting to compare Jaejoong’s first solo performance in Bangkok, with this performance in Busan.. performance after performance, he became more daring, touchy-feely and natural with the female dancers.. maybe because of the good response from his fans who somehow wished to see him doing sexy things like Yoochun.. lolz yeah, Jaejoong’s fans are indeed strange.. we want to see him play with the girls.. Anyway, talking about his solo, it was not performed on the stage in front of us.. I knew it wouldnt after we had Junsu and Yoochun’s solo there.. but still, as Jae biased, I hoped it would be, so I was a bit sad *greedy much lolz*.. nonetheless, I couldnt take my eyes off of him.. Jae’s voice singing this song is mesmerizing.. who wouldnt dream to have him saying those words to us.. ah this is love.. indeed, their solo really have a blues atmosphere (not sure its the right word, I dont know how to explain.. you know, just like the atmosphere of those lonely nights.. hmm..) and the choregraphies and the overall stage atmosphere really fits those moments..
Junsu performing I Can Soar
Yoochun performing I Love You
Jaejoong performing Still In Love on Sunday 12th
Also, I must say how much I love “Nameless song part 1″ sang live.. rap may not be my favorite style of music, but the emotion and anger Yoochun put into his rap gives you goosebumps.. I can still remember perfectly Yoochun’s expressions while rapping.. so much angst.. then Jaejoong and Junsu’s heavenly voices blending so perfectly, are soothing, like a lullaby.. calming your broken heart on the verge of tears.. and you listen silently, overwhelmed with emotions, you just cant say a word.. this song is really meant to be sung live, sharing all their emotions with the fans who knows more than anyone else what they have been through.. those fans who suffered together with them.. their family.. the JYJ family..
Jaejoong performing.. and I loved the clothes he was wearing there.. so adorable Jaejoong
JYJ interacting with the fans~
Anyway, later they performed one of the fans favorite “Chajatta”.. Junsu and Jaejoong started singing their part.. and then they called Yoochun.. as if he was lost somewhere, playing around haha.. it was so cute.. and as always, they really dont need to sing the “Saranghae, nul saranghae” part, because the fans sing it so loud to tell the boys how much we love them.. this saranghae truly comes from the deepest of our heart.. and God knows we love them our boys and I am proud to say that the “Fallen Leaves” yellow ocean project was a great success.. when we started hearing the first notes of the song, we turned off the red lights and prepared our yellow lightsticks (both days, I had hard time to light it.. mostly because I was worried to ruin it when bumping it hard.. lolz) and suddenly the whole venue was colored in yellow..
The whole venue colored in yellow during Fallen Leaves ~ JYJ lets start again..
I dont know if the boys expected something like this, but I have no doubt they were deeply moved while performing this song.. they looked so happy after the song, talking and joking around (how I wish I understood then).. but when Junsu said “one, two, three” in korean, Kyung Yeon took my yellow lightstick to hide it inside the bag) and then we turned back on our red lightsticks.. lolz.. ah those boys powers are supernatural.. their wishes are our command.. lolz.. and so then, they started singing “Boy’s letter” surrounded by the red ocean.. ah this song is such a beautiful love letter to the fans.. feeling how loved we are, it’s impossible to not love those boys to death.. anyway, later “Be my girl” remix started playing, it was our (fans) moment to perform and better perform well to show the boys how hard we worked for them too!!.. so we got up (luckily there was no seats before us, so Kyung Yeon and me had some space to dance the flashmob.. its such a high moment, so exciting when the whole venue dance together with the boys, making one with them.. and the wave was absolutely amazing, just like during a WC soccer game.. then I thought of how proud and happy our boys must be at this moment.. and the second day, the wave was even more awesome.. we kept playing around.. lolz.. after the song, the boys wanted us to continue the wave as we stopped after one turn only during the song.. they didnt get enough so we started it again.. but then, when they asked us to stop, we didnt.. we kept waving and waving.. so they laughed and Jaejoong sat on the floor, laughing too much because we didnt want to stop.. and they had to turn off the lights for us to stop doing the wave.. lolz.. then they left the stage, and we started chanting “JYJ, JYJ, JYJ” and we kept chanting those 3 magical letters, without fail, until they came back onstage for the encore.. until Jae appeared on the stage right in front of me to sing Get Out.. how I love my seat that first night.. how I love this song.. now I think about it, they changed the opening choregraphy of it, as they were on the 3 different stages to start the song (well, I think.. I cant remember well.. hmm).. and my eyes were glued on Jaejoong, until he joined the main stage, Yoochun and Junsu.. ah it always amazed me so much how fans are screaming happily when Yoochun shout .. and those two days, I was one of those screaming happily too.. haha..
Very short fancam of Jaejoong performing Get Out
Jaejoong performing Get Out
Then it was empty remix, how hot it is when our Junsu does the handstand.. that boy, he is talented in everything.. he can do absolutely everything.. to me he was always the best dancer and still is.. wow.. we’re all very high when the first notes of In Heaven starts playing.. but then Sajik gymnasium listens quietly, mesmerized by those boys voices, who literally send you to Heaven.. singing the song with everything they got.. all their feelings, emotions and sorrow.. there is no words strong enough to describe the emotions then.. this song is beautiful, and when JYJ perform it live, it becomes a masterpiece.. the harmony of their voices blending so perfectly.. you dont want it to end, you dont want to let them go and the “kajima” takes all its meaning.. but already they are saying goodbye, ready to leave the stage.. and we were left speechless, so Yoochun left the stage chanting “JYJ JYJ”.. and we followed him, and started chanting “JYJ JYJ”.. but on Sunday, he didnt need to tell us anything, when they thanked the fans, ready to leave, fans already started chanting “JYJ JYJ”.. the second day, I was sitting in the angle where they left the stage, so I could see them until they disappeared backstage.. how I wish they could have stayed longer.. how I wish the concert could just last forever..
JYJ kamsahamnida… JYJ kajima~
Then we had to leave.. so after we joined Jenny, we went to the subway station.. it was such a crazy and scary experience.. We were so many waiting for the train to come, and when it was finally there, fans were pushing to fit in it.. there was this young man, who wanted to stop at the station, and he couldnt even leave because he kept being pushed back inside.. some fans were screaming, scared to fall.. once inside, I didnt know anymore where were Kyung Yeon and Jenny, but I could listen Kyung Yeon calling my name.. lolz.. also an ahjussi talked to me in the subway.. I was so ashamed, I couldnt speak one word of korean, but he made the effort to speak to me in english!! and he was probably more than 60 years old.. so sweet of him..
Back to the hotel, pic of the goods I bought
Sunday 12th June~ Second day of the concert
That day, I arrived at the venue a bit before the lunch time.. I wanted to spend the whole day at the venue and enjoy the atmosphere.. besides, I had to get my ticket at 1pm.. as it was the right time, I walked to the tickets booth, and there when I showed the paper, they asked me for my ID *shock*.. so I explained that my friend bought the ticket for me, and they asked me to call my friend.. thanksfully, Reina gave me her phone number before in case there was some problems to get the tickets, so I let the woman calling her.. lolz.. what a fear though.. anyway, after this, I went to get my Herose goods at Jaejoong bus (I was supposed to get them the day before, but I didnt dare to get into the bus.. I was not sure if it was allowed.. lolz).. anyway, so this time, I got inside the bus where two very nice girls were waiting.. then I explained I was there to get the goods I ordered online and so they gave them to me hehe..
Jaejoong’s goods from Herose, that I ordered online few weeks ago~
When I left the bus, I kept meeting people with those cute fans.. Jaejoong’s, Junsu’s or Yoochun’s.. and I couldnt find this anywhere.. I so wanted one.. Jaejoong’s one.. where it was written “Go together Jaejoong”.. so I thought we could get them in Jaejoong’s bus.. so I went back there.. but at this moment, there was two security guards, so I tried to explain them I wanted to talk to the girls inside the bus.. I even showed them the bag with my goods, asking if the girls were still inside.. and I think they thought I was looking for Jaejoong inside the bus.. they kept telling me he was not there.. I would never dream they would let me in the bus if Jaejoong was inside, even if I asked nicely.. lolz.. ah I feel so stupid when I cant speak a word of korean and even my english is not so understandable.. but anyway, then I asked around to know where they could get this nice Jaejoong’s fan.. but time for me to understand, get in the line for it, there was no fans left anymore.. I was so upset and angry at myself to not have asked earlier.. oh well.. then I sat for a little bit, immersing myself in the before concert atmosphere.. at times, you could listen fans screaming, and so other fans were running, thinking the boys were around.. lolz.. Also, I could see the red balloons distributed by all fans.. and listen those balloons that kept bursting.. but in the end, there was no “all fan” project inside the venue.. I must say I feel Korean fans moved on, more than anywhere else.. just like JYJ.. they’re already all for JYJ and JYJ only.. they want to protect the boys and do everything to make them happy..
Anyway, later I joined the line.. so this time, I didn’t have to wait and walk for too long before entering the venue and I could find my seat pretty easily hehe.. but to be honest, I liked my Saturday seat better than this one.. this time, I was pretty much behind the big stage, in the angle with the pole hiding a bit my view.. but it was ok.. as I said before, to me the most important was to be there and attend the concert, no matter the seats.. anywhere, as long as I could be there.. Sitting besides me, there was a very sweet korean noona fan.. we discussed a bit, I discovered she was a Chunsa and I proudly said I was Jaejoong’s.. lolz.. she then explained me about Fallen Leaves project, saying she was there yesterday already (sitting in the same area as me too.. lolz).. and she was in Seoul last November for the concert too.. wow.. it’s so nice to meet this JYJ family.. so many sweet and adorable fans.. also she explained me a bit of what happened the night before.. I understand some things might be upsetting, but we fans should know better than anyone else that due to some circumstances, the boys can’t perform in the venues they deserve.. invisible dirty hands make things difficult for them.. so lets be understanding and happy with what we get.. because what we get is truly wonderful.. it comes from deep inside their heart.. and Jaejoong’s tweet broke my heart…
Jaejoong: Ah… really… our fans, I am just too thankful for… Before, I said that I would perform if there is even one person left… But now I think that I will suffer terribly if the family that I love were to disappear from me… I think I shall work very very hard…

Anyway, during this second day of concert, they changed few things indeed.. and many songs were performed on the big stage (the one in front of me).. I couldn’t believe my luck, but Jae’s solo was performed on this stage that night.. lolz.. this night was once again like a dream.. such a wonderful dream that you beg for not waking up from it.. you want it to last forever.. but this is impossible.. sadly, I cant understand korean and this is such a big regret.. I was there witnessing their laughter and interaction with korean fans.. yet I couldnt understand and I was thinking “If I start learning korean now, will I be able to understand them one year later?”.. will dedication and love help me? lolz.. during one of the ment, a fan sitting not so far away from me screamed something and she got Jaejoong replying to her.. lolz.. so then many other fans were trying to get his attention too.. lolz.. and the wave after “Be my girl” fanmob was such an amazing moment where we truly played with them and they loved this as much as we did.. If you compare to Thanksgiving live in Tokyo Dome last year (exactly one year ago), those boys are now genuinely happy.. then it was their very first concert as JYJ, they were probably very concerned about the fans react.. their future was so uncertain.. but now.. now they moved on together with their faithful fans, they know what they want and where they’re going.. they’re now confident as JYJ.. and yeah, in the end, it’s JYJ.
Jaejoong~ah.. Kim Director.. the direction of this concert was like no other.. the stage design, choreographies, light effects, stage costumes, songs diaporama, this is the work of a genius.. a person who worked very hard on every little details.. a wonderful man who created the perfect stage for his fans and his members.. I am so proud to be your fan Jaejoong~ah.. I know my heart made the right choice, you’re truly one of a kind.. you’re the best, you’re forever my number one..
This concert was so special for so many reasons.. this concert belongs to JYJ.. its theirs from A to Z.. their very own songs, their direction, their creativity, their talent.. their sweat, tears and blood.. this magical concert is fully theirs.. So proud of my boys.. I am so loving you.. when and where will we meet again?! will you come to Europe? if not, I’ll come to you again.. if JYJ concert was held on the moon, I guess I’ll go there too.. once you tasted a bit of JYJ heaven, you cant live without it.. just like a sweet drug, it becomes addictive.. we’ll meet again, I’ll make sure of this.. Jaejoong, Junsu, Yoochun, see you soon.. saranghae~
On Monday, I went to the venue again.. and then the withdrawal syndrom hit me hard.. the venue was so empty.. suddenly my world and Busan were so empty.. “Un seul être vous manque et tout est dépeuplé”
Sajik Gymnasium venue the day after the concert.. so empty..
Some other moments of my Busan trip~
During my journey in Busan, I couldnt miss doing some JYJ shopping.. one thing I wanted absolutely was the new Nature Republic photobook.. so as soon as I could find a store, I asked them if they had this photobook, then I got my shopping basket and bought NR products.. the store was full packed, it was almost impossible to move around inside it.. lolz.. and in the end, it turned out they didnt have the new NR photobook (maybe they didnt have it anymore, I couldnt say).. I didn’t understand, because she first talked to me in japanese (people in Busan speak very well japanese, and a bit less english).. so I got the 2010 photobook, with the cute cardboards and 2 posters of each members.. I need to find a way to get the new photobook!!.. lolz.. when I was about to leave the store, they asked me if I came for JYJ concert.. lolz..
Nature Republic, NII, TiO.. those boys, they’ll be the end of me..
Also, the day before my departure, I went back to NII store, which is in the commercial center in front of the concert venue.. there I bought two nice shirts for my sister (missed so much my sister who couldnt come with me this time..).. then I asked for Jaejoong poster, but she didnt have it anymore, japanese fans probably grabbed all the stock before me.. lolz.. only Junsu poster was left (Junsu is the king in his homeland.. so fans already got his poster long time ago.. while Jaejoong is the king for japanese fans hehe).. but my boys are my boys, if no Jaejoong poster, give me Junsu’s one after all.. and indeed, not only she gave me JYJ’s NII agenda, Junsu poster, but she also gave me Jaejoong poster that was sticked in the store.. it was so sweet of her.. and when she asked me if I was a fan and went to the concert, I proudly said I came for it..
NII Store
Some of my JYJ goods~
And I believe Busan was totally under JYJ spell.. when I was doing some souvenirs shopping in the shopping mall underground in Seomyeon, I entered a CD store and “I can soar” was playing.. so I listened, singing along hehe.. and indeed, I realized they were playing “The Beginning” album, so I stayed there until I listened all the songs!!.. haha.. later while I was eating something at Caffé Bene, they played Empty.. so so nice.. another small detail, as if everything reminds me of my boys.. but while I was walking in the streets, I suddenly heard “For you” playing.. but it was not sung by Jaejoong though..
Some other anecdotes.. when leaving Busan, taxi driver asked me where I was from and why I came to Busan.. so I proudly said I came here for JYJ concert.. lolz.. also when I was buying souvenirs at the airport, I carried my Jaejoong goods backpack, and through it we could see Junsu (pic from NR bag).. and the woman there was like “oh Xiah Junsu!!”.. so I was wondering “Xiah Junsu? where? where?” before I realized she was looking at my bag haha.. so then we started talking a bit about the boys, I said I came for their concert, and she said they’re very good singers and her favorite is Xiah.. hehe.. overall, before leaving, I made sure everyone knew I came to Busan for JYJ concert!!
So, I think I will make fanaccount for the 4 days of the SM Town in Paris, since it will last 4 days for me.
Day 1 is over : the arrival at CDG airport.
And it was just a mess.
Yesterday, we saw fancams of SNSD’s arrival, and it was respectful and very calm. i’m not fan of the girls, but I was glad for them that they didn’t have problem.
Today was really something else. We were kinda expecting it actually (3 bands arriving, including SHINee, who got in my opinion the worst groupies as fans)
The flight was scheduled to arrive at 6:20PM, and I arrived at the airport with [info]museelo a little before 1pm. there were only 4 girls who were already there.
So it was pretty calm for a bunch of hours, but at arround 4pm, much more fans came, and started waiting everywhere, including in the people’s way >.< And since the Korean cameras were there, everybody was yelling, they told us to make noise anyway, to film us. I was having a DBSK banner + a paper with “TVXQ hwaiting” on it, and a Yunho SM Town uchiwa ^^ , and the camera filmed me a lot. They interviewed me about “are you learning korean ?” or “why do you like Kpop ?”
I answered calmly, wanting to show them something else than “the groupie side” of Kpop fan, that some Kpop can be mature etc. We wondered a lot about “what is the best location to wait for them”. At the beginning, we were near the arrival gate, but we ended more around the exit gate. A lot of Yunjae fans where here, with lightboard, huge banners, I was so happy so see them ♥ The flight was delayed. 20 minutes at the beginning, then 40 minutes. I heard them arriving before seeing them. Fangirls were yelling so loudly >.< Then we saw a bunch of bodygards and policemen, and then, the king. Yunho was in da place. I was only able to see him, and I was like “omg omg omg omg”. He passed by me super close, and then, that when I just noticed Changmin, wo was just behind him XD popping in front of my eyes. He was wearing a hat.
Then, it happened, because there was SHINee following. And seriously, some of their fans were really disrespectful : they were folowing them, walking on the other fans, pushing them. I was only able to see the back of Taemin’s hair, because I was struggling to stay still and not falling.
Then, I kinda manage to see Luna from f(x) waving at us, and it was over. I backed off for safety, and when the psychopath had left, i went out to see if we can see something inside their black van. The answer is no. Apparently, some were knocking at the van’s windows, so the boys closed the curtains.
I stayed until the vans left, waving my TVXQ paper and uchiwa, just in case they were watching outside.
Then, I got interviewed once again, and the guys asked me “How does it feel to see Dong Bang Shin Ki in real ?”. Honesty, the only thing that popped in my mind was “gaaaaaaah I’m in heaven”, but I tried to answer something more elaborate.
I took me some dozen of minutes to go back on Earth (I haven’t still fully landed yet), to realized that I got Yunho and Min at less than 1 meter from me, and that they were freaking HANDSOME !!!
TVXQ arrival at Paris airport 08/06/11
Tomorrow, I plan to go to the airport again to see Suju’ arrival, and I’ll attend the rehearsals of the concert since I have a soundcheck package. I hope we will attend Homin’s rehearsal !!

JYJ Concert, Newark New Jersey, 2011-May-22: DBSK_FAN Account :::::
Ma Boyz 🙂
A few weeks ago, when I heard that JYJ would be in Newark, New Jersey, I asked my husband to take me to the concert. I am not a fan of flying, so we would have to drive. It is a 7 hour drive, but with rest stops and meals, it would take us 9 hours to get there. My husband thought about it, and then decided to take me to the concert. My daughters said that they wanted that to be my birthday present. So, I was thrilled. Nervous and always wanting to cancel the trip (that is what I do). But, then on April 16th, after we got our new puppy, in the car heading back to the house, my daughter loaded the transportable internet, logged on to Ticket Master and bought two tickets for the New Jersey Show. Needless to say, I was excited.
As time went by I toyed with the idea of telling my friends on DBSKALWAYS what I was about to do. However, knowing that I was disappointed in November when JYJ was in New York, and I did not get to attend the showcase, I decided not to say anything until I was actually IN Newark. I kept my promise to myself.
So, on May 21st, around 9:30 AM we left home: Canada. We drove to Newark, checked into the Hotel, and relaxed. That evening, we were excited to have Cable TV (we do not have Cable TV at home – by choice). So, we were Channel surfing when my husband said, “the perfect thing for your Korean weekend.” I replied, “What’s that?” Well, to my delight and surprise, there was a KBS drama on called “The Great King Sejong.” This episode was about the 12th year of King Sejong’s reign, and the year in which the Crown Prince defied him on a number of issues. I watched the drama and tried to read the sub-titles. I could not believe what a good time I was having. I felt so blessed.
Now, I have never been to a club. The first and last time I went to a disco was 30 years ago. The first and last time I went to a concert was 21 or 22 years ago: Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation Tour. So, I am very selective about that kind of thing, I guess. Or maybe, no group has interested me enough to make the effort since then. However, we all know how much I adore, admire, and enjoy DBSK, the new TVXQ, and JYJ. It is no secret.
I brought two outfits with me. But, once I got to New Jersey, and once the 22nd rolled around, I grew dissatisfied. So, I went shopping and got a new outfit. There was a 60% sale and an additional 20% off the sale price. So, I was lucky there. The blazer and slacks that I bought complemented the JYJ T-Shirt that I received with “The Beginning” Special Edition. We dressed and got on the road to the Prudential Center. We arrived at 5:30PM, and we were the first people at the door. Shortly after a father and daughter came up and we started to talk. They had driven 10 hours one way from Toronto to see JYJ. Then, a family came by. They had driven two days from Florida to see JYJ. Inside the concert hall we met a young lady, about 17 years old, who flew from Georgia with her Mom to see JYJ. This was their second concert with JYJ! Last year, they flew to Las Vagas to see JYJ. She had a Jaejoong-style necklace, and a relly nice light stick and wand that said “JYJ.” The fans started rolling in and talking and just enjoying each other’s company. The tone of camaraderie was so ripe and evident, and the atmosphere was so very positive. It was such an uplifting experience. Wow! is all that I can say.
The fans were of all skin colours and races: Korean, Chinese, mixed race of every kind, Blacks, Caucasians. There were ladies older than I am wearing JYJ T-Shirts and red blazers and scarves. There were 12 year olds, 17 year olds, their aunts in their 30s, and ladies in their 60s. There were parents who traveled with their children. There were fathers who brought their daughters. My husband who now has a new-found appreciation and respect for JYJ – who came only to bring me to the show and give me this birthday present.
The doors opened at 7PM, and I squealed. We found our section and sat down. We talked with fans in front of us and next to us. To give you an example of the generosity and positive spirit and atmosphere that JYJ engenders – some fans in front of us who drove hours from Virginia to see JYJ, saw that I had a light stick, but my husband did not have any JYJ items. So, this one fan took off one of her bracelets (the red glowing one) and put it on my husband’s wrist. Imagine that: strangers, but brought together with the camaraderie that JYJ engenders. It was something to witness.
My husband remarked that at other concerts that he attended, the fans do not acknowledge each other nor di they talk to each other; they only talk with the people that they came with. But, he remarked how different and caring it was at the JYJ concert.
So, JYJ came on stage 10 minutes after 8PM. The crowed screamed and cheered throughout most of the next two hours. We were on our feet for every one of the songs. We were dancing along with JYJ and doing the hand movements. We sang in Korean, we sang in English. After about 30 minutes. JYJ loosened up and especially Yoochun – he was smiling and being light hearted. Junsu was working hard and putting 150% into every song and performance. So, was Yoochun and so was Jaejoong. When they sang Fallen Leaves, Jaejoong ended the song with tears in his eyes.
When we thought that JYJ had completed the concert, and they went back stage, the crowned began to shout “JYJ Saranghe!” over and over and over again for minutes until JYJ came back on stage to uproarious screams and cheers. They performed about 4 more songs, and then left the stage again. They had another standing ovation that went on for some time. They came back out in JYJ T-shirts and performed one more song.
To be honest, I cannot remember the order of the songs nor the name of each one. But, they performed songs from The Beginning, such as Empty (they started the show with that song) and Ayyy Girl. Then each one did their The Beginning solos. Then they did the SKK Scandal theme song.
When they sang SKK Scandal theme song – the audience sang the chorus in Korean right along with them. Yoochun looked at Jaejoong as if to say – “how do they know Korean ” – then the boyz sang and sang and each time the chorun came around Yoochun and Jaejoong pointed the mic to the audience and sang along with us,. It was something to experience.
Then there were songs from Music Essay, and some new songs too. They sang in Korean and English. Yoochun spoke English and so did Junsu. I think Junsu said that English is so hard. Jaejoong spoke Korean. It did not matter – the love that was outpouring to the three young men was wonderful and warm. It was such an atmosphere of positivity. Wow! My husband remarked that their singing was as perfect at the CDs that I play every day and all day on the weekends. So, he knows what he was saying. He also said, “Those guys can sing!”
All I can say at this time is that JYJ is a blessing. Their show was amazing, and I am so happy that they came all the way from Korea to perform for us!
Thank you JYJ. Thank you so much for such a wonderful performance.
