[Trans] 111031 Finding Out About What Spain Thinks Of JYJ’s First European Concert

[Trans] 111031 Finding Out About What Spain Thinks Of JYJ’s First European Concert

We were able to see that JYJ’s European fanbase continues to expand as time passes.

On the 29th, JYJ held a mini concert at the LA FARGA Convention Centre’s performance hall and sang ‘Empty’ and ‘Get Out’ to 5,000 cheering audience members.

Though it was a paid performance that showcased only two songs, people flocked to secure seats, showing the power of K-pop once more.

We asked the European fans who were waiting in line for the concert about JYJ’s secret to success. They all praised the group as they said, “JYJ’s intense dance moves and live skills have us hooked.”

Here is a Q&A session with their European fans.

Silvia Sanchez (17, student)

-How did you come to know JYJ?

▶In 2008, my friend sent me the ‘Mirotic’ album and told me to listen to it, and from that moment on, I became a fan. I started searching online for their videos and music and now, I’m such a big fan of JYJ. Their appearances in dramas made me like them more and I like them all so much that I make sure to check up on videos of them every day.

 

-Who’s your favorite member?

▶Jaejoong. His voice and the expression he has when he sings is so hot.

-What are your feelings on coming to today’s concert?

▶I really wanted to go to Korea because I like JYJ so much, but I don’t have the money to go there. I’m so happy and thankful that they decided to come all the way to Spain to perform. My friends and I couldn’t sleep for the past couple of nights because we were preparing gifts for the members. We got Junsu a football shirt with the number ’12′ on it while we got ordinary t-shirts for the other members. We hope they wear them and we would like to see them wearing the shirts.

Noemi Blaha (30, secretary)

-What are your feelings on coming to today’s concert?

▶I’ve been a fan of JYJ for the past three years. I like them so much but because I work, I don’t have much time to spare on other things. I only got three hours of sleep because of today’s concert. I’m so excited and nervous. I still can’t believe that they’ve come here to sing for us. They’re great singers, but they’re also very humorous and it was a great performance.

Charo (18, student)

-How did you come to know JYJ?

▶I was surfing the net a year ago when I randomly began searching up Korean singers, and I ended up clicking on a photo of Jaejoong and listening to their songs. Since then, I’ve been active as a JYJ fan. I like Junsu now too because his voice is so nice.

-What are your feelings on coming to today’s concert?

▶I spent an entire month preparing banners for JYJ’s concert with other fans. We paid for the production of the banner and put them up ourselves. There are over 50 banners hanging within the city of Barcelona that contain messages from JYJ’s fans, and we travelled through the other cities of Spain for a month, putting banners up for JYJ. I bought concert tickets after staying up all night for two days in a row as I waited in line. I was so excited for the entire two-hour train ride here and I’m still feeling that excitement as I wait for the concert to start.

Maria Amparo (24, student)

-What are your feelings on coming to today’s concert?

▶I’m a fan of TVXQ. I like JYJ’s music and I loved watching ‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’. I’m planning on downloading and watching ‘Protect the Boss’ as well. I really like K-pop and I was so excited to buy my ticket three weeks ago. When I first heard the news, I was so surprised and I couldn’t believe they were coming to Spain. I’m very thankful to them for flying all the way here.

Rocio Maldonado (14, student)

-What are your feelings on coming to today’s concert?

▶I’ve been a fan of K-pop for the past five years. I’ve been a fan of JYJ since they were a part of TVXQ and I’m a fan of Junsu. I’m planning on visiting Korea. I want to live in Korea with JYJ. I’ve waited three years to see this concert. This is going to be my first K-pop concert, and I’m so glad that it’s a concert by JYJ.

Sandra Vidail (24, office worker)

-What are your feelings on coming to today’s concert?

▶I recently became a fan of JYJ when I came across one of their songs. This is my first K-pop concert and I can’t wait to see what it will be like. I’m excited to think that I’ll personally get to see those powerful dance moves that I’ve been watching on Youtube. I’m a fan of Yoochun. I can’t believe that I’ll be able to see him smile in person. I want to marry him.

Oscar (19, student)

-What are your feelings on coming to today’s concert?

▶It’s been half a year since I first came across JYJ on the internet and I really like their songs. Most of all, their powerful performances are ones that aren’t easily found in Spain. They’re great singers and I like all three members. I listen to JYJ’s songs all the time these days. I’m especially addicted to their Korean songs because they have such great melodies and beats.

Translation 111031 Cultural Director Jang Jin Sang is “Anticipating JYJ’s role in Spreading K-Pop Throughout Europe”

TRANS] 111031 Cultural Director Jang Jin Sang Is “Anticipating JYJ’s Role In Spreading K-pop Throughout Europe”   Posted on November 6, 2011

“The K-pop craze continues to burn brighter in Spain. We want to thank JYJ for spearheading the effort to spread K-pop here.

Cultural Director Jang Jin Sang, who began his job in Madrid, Spain in June, expressed his thoughts about the current condition of the K-pop craze that has swept over Spain.

Cultural Director Jang Jin Sang met with reporters at the POBLE ESPANYOL on the 29th and said, “When JYJ decided to hold a concert in Spain, they still hadn’t decided if they would hold the concert in Madrid or Barcelona. But they ended up choosing Barcelona because it was decided that if it was done here, people from Southern France would also be able to attend the concert as well as the citizens of Spain,” and “Though the influence of the K-pop craze and Hallyu Wave are still quite small in Europe, we believe the K-pop craze and interest in Korean culture will continue to grow in Spain.”

The reason why Director Jang made this statement is because Spain was the European country with the highest participation rate at the K-pop Cover Dance Competition that was held in Madrid, Spain on the 15th of September.

Director Jang said, “More than 50 Spanish teams participated in the competition. More and more people in Spain are beginning to like K-pop. Though B2ST came and performed a couple of songs as the judges for the competition, JYJ will be holding an official concert,” and “We’d like to see many more Korean singers come to Spain to perform like JYJ.”

He added, “We debated quite a lot on whether the culture center should sponsor the concert because it could be classified as a private concert,” and “But because this is the first time a Korean singer is holding a solo concert in Spain, we provided JYJ with 10,000 Euros (15 million Won) and that money was used to rent out the concert venue. The rest of the costs for setting up the stage and the additional facilities was paid for by JYJ’s agency C-JeS Entertainment.

Director Jang explained that the tickets for the concert cost 100 Euros for SVIP, 70 Euros for VIP, and 50 Euros for regular seats, which doesn’t differ much from the ticket prices Spanish singers charge for their performances.

He also stated, “It’s been 69 years since Spain and Korea established diplomatic relations but a Korean culture center has been created in Spain much earlier than expected,” and “We don’t have culture centers in Italy or Switzerland yet. Taking this into consideration, we can make the conclusion that the Spanish have a great interest in Korea.”

Director Jang had a positive outlook for K-pop’s future influence in Europe.

He stated, “Europe has high standards for art and music, so it won’t be easy for Korea to compete in the European markets. However, K-pop continues to evolve and grow, and I believe the rate at which K-pop fans grow will increase as well,” and “I heard that many people are coming to JYJ’s concert because they talked about it on Facebook and decided to come together. Therefore, we plan on opening an official page for the culture center and share information about K-pop, and provide at least one or two K-pop related events every year.”

Meanwhile, Director Jang stated that Korean dramas do not have much of an influence in Spain.

He explained, “I heard that till 2007, overseas broadcasting companies could air Korean dramas for free. But 2008 came with copyright issues and because it was decided that these shows couldn’t be aired for free, it hasn’t been easy to watch Korean dramas overseas, especially in Europe. It’s because Korea’s influence in Spain is still quite small and because it’s not easy to air those dramas due to the prices. Though there are people who would like to air dramas here with the rights already secured, it costs almost 10 million Won to dub one episode, so I’ve heard that discussions continue with broadcasting companies due to the expenses.”

NEWS 111102 “It Was Because of JYJ’s Vigorous Dance Moves…We’re Sorry…

[News] 111102 “It was because of JYJ’s Vigorous Dance Moves… We’re sorry”, Organizer Apologized

‘JYJ European Tour in Barcelona’, even the professional photography team became puzzled by [JYJ’s] energetic moves. ”We’re sorry. There is no photo.”

On the 29th (local time), after the ‘JYJ European Tour in Barcelona’ has ended, the organizer unusually apologized to the reporters because there were very few photos of all the members Kim Junsu, Kim Jaejoong and Park Yoochun. Except for the two photos of them singing a ballad, there was actually no photo of them dancing.

The organizer said, “The dance moves of the members were more intense than ever. We have tried hard but we couldn’t get a single shot. Even the professional photography team that has accompanied them in the North American Tour was abashed.”

What was so different this time that they couldn’t capture photos of the members? The members have expressed determined willingness to hold this concert. Since it was decided that it would be a relatively small concert (3,000 people), they said, as if it was a habit, “We’re going to get back to the basics.” Just like those words, on the stage, they didn’t think about their own, and just jumped and danced.

“It’s true that the stage is small, but it has a different meaning. In Korea or in Japan, we have also started from small things and with that basis, the love of our fans has grown. I think the first concert in Europe is also a good beginning. Rather than a bombastic concert in Europe, we want to set foot on a small stage first, with a heart that wants to start again from the beginning.” Those are Kim Jaejoong’s words.

The stage that we saw with our own eyes was far from glamorous. Protruding or pumping stage, even LED screen couldn’t be expected. Fireworks on stage has also disappeared. Sometimes,the effect of CO2 sprang, but that was all. Only the light that was shining on the old castle from afar added as flavor.

But it was not unsuccessful. Fans that joined them there also differed from any other shows. With the shout of 100 warriors, they provided support to JYJ’s new start. JYJ really had such a vibrant concert that the professional photography team couldn’t properly capture with their camera. A French student who watched the show that day said, “I think this is the first time I see the members try so hard to sing and dance like that. Regardless of stage scale, fans were greatly impressed.”

 Photos from JYJ’s PenzalQ poster photoshoot have been revealed.

PenzalQ recently posted a batch of photos on their official homepage and Facebook page from JYJ’s poster photoshoot with the title, ‘Don’t be sick, Men of Autumn, JYJ’.

The photos have become a hot topic for showcasing the members’ distinct facial features and small faces.

JYJ wore stylish outfits in a brown tone to match the autumn concept of ‘Boyfriend who takes care of his sick girlfriend’. It was later heard that they wowed the staff members with their classy poses, overflowing charisma and haughty gazes.

A CKD representative stated, “JYJ have stepped away from the pharmaceutical commercials of the past and have taken on the charm of fashionable men of the autumn season. They are showcasing a stylish and tough boyfriend look.”

The final version of JYJ’s PenzalQ posters will be revealed when they are posted up in pharmacies.

CKD revealed on the 24th that it will be holding a ‘PenzalQ Song Online Contest’ to find people who can make the best remakes of the music that is used for Penzal Q’s commercial.

CKD recently began a new batch of commercials for PenzalQ with the popular group JYJ (Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun, Kim Junsu).

According to CKD, the new ‘PenzalQ’ song that is used for the commercial is a song that comforts one’s sick girlfriend. The song has become a hot topic as the famous composer and producer Jung Jin Hwan wrote it and as JYJ sang it.

The contest requires contestants to either sing the song themselves or remake the song in whatever genre they wish in a one minute video. Anyone who is a Korean citizen can participate, and entries may be completed in groups or alone. Entries will be taken in for three weeks till the 20th of November.

 

Entries are submitted by posting the video on Youtube and posting the URL link as a comment on the ‘Contest Tab’ of PenzalQ’s Facebook page and submitting the entry form to penzalq@daum.net.

The judging of the first round will be done based on votes by netizens and will then proceed to be judged by specialists and representatives of CKD with a 1 million Won prize for first place (1 person), and a 500,000 Won prize for the runner-up contestants (3 people).

A special ‘Netizen award’ and 300,000 Won worth of prize money will be given to the participant with the most ‘thumbs up’s on Youtube.

A representative of PenzalQ stated, “We’ve opened this contest to increase people’s awareness of the song,” and “We hope people incorporate innovative ideas and passion to create a great remake.”

Video + Translation 111024 “I Love JK” TVXQ’s Interview on TONE…

[Trans] “I Love JK” TVXQ’s Interview on TONE while they were in Beijing

credit: Get Beginning

Host: From the start, let’s introduce TVXQ and this is their latest Japanese album. This album reaches 200 thousand sales during the first week of release and attained the first place on the charts. This is the first album for Yunho and Changmin and the results through the release of this album gave the duo a confidence boost. Yes, that’s right. For this album, there are unique designs within the album packagings. I’m going to introduce to everyone in today’s programme and what are the unique designs? These are the 3 versions of the albums that were not released in Taiwan. Red, Blue and Yellow. When we placed the three together, we’ll get something amazing. What’s that? See, right here. What is written there? “It Is My Way.” It can only be seen when you piled them together. It’s quite a special design. There’s a card inside the album too which I’ll introduce to you all later. Let’s now take a look when they arrived in Beijing and though their stay was not that long, we managed to arrange an interview from them. We really did our best to get this interview and though the (interview) was short, please support us and now let’s take a look at the interview.

TVXQ: Hello, we are TVXQ (in Chinese)

YH: Hi, I’m Yunho. (in Chinese)

CM: Hi, I’m Changmin. (in Chinese)

About new album

YH:First of all, we released an album in Korea after a long while. Therefore we had a chance to meet with Japanese fans. This album was prepared with great work and we anticipate fans’ responses. We involved a lot of our feelings in this album and were done with a heart of thankfulness. Thus we hoped that fans will be able to hear our improvement while listening to this album.

Japanese album released in Taiwan

CM:For this album.. This album is named TONE. There are various meaning to it, eg. sound, color etc. When we first heard of this title and knew of the various meaning when used differently. As an singer, if we are able to control the various tone, it should be the best joy, isn’t it? To name this album as TONE, and in this album, other than the ballads and dance numbers we are used to, we tried something that’s similar to a fast tempo band-type and club music etc. As we tried various music genres, it is an album that’s worth everyone’s attention.

About the good sales results of the Japanese album

YH: Firstly, we want to thank everyone and other than loving TVXQ, we enjoy our work and would like to close up the distance between our fans and us. Hopefully everyone will listen to our songs and we will become an even more hardworking TVXQ.

About TONE’s train

CM: When we heard about this, we felt that it’s very novel. When I saw the photos on the net, I really wish to go there and take a commemorative photo myself. However due to some problems and time issue, I wasn’t able to do it. If I had the chance, I would like to take a ride on that train.

Any plans for performances in Taiwan?

YH: To be honest, there’s no confirmed plan as of now. But next year, there’s a plan for Asia Tour and it’s still under discussion. We’ll let Taiwanese fans know if it’s confirmed. Maybe in the near future, the good news will arrive.

TVXQ: You are currently watching, I Love JK. (in chinese)

Host: This interview was done in Beijing recently where TVXQ went for a fan meeting and we managed to get an interview for everyone. Hopefully everyone enjoyed it. Let’s continue to introduce the album. There’s a card inside each album and let’s see what we’ve got. It’s about the size of the album and this is Yunho and Changmin’s. Next, this is also a duo photo. Next we had Changmin’s solo photo, Changmin’s again, then Yunho’s, Yunho’s and duo photo. This is their card in the album and now let’s introduce a song from this album, B.U.T.

[TRANS] 111019 TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho Takes One Photo And Sells Out A Product In Japanese Online Shopping Malls

 

TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho has shown off his ‘sell out’ power in Japan.

Choi Hyo Jae, who is famous for being one of TVXQ’s dancers, recently posted a photo on his personal Twitter account of a trip he took with U-Know Yunho. In the photo, U-Know Yunho can be seen wearing a hoodie and pants with a unique leopard print pattern. This outfit is from JoyRich’s new collection and as soon as the photo was released online, TVXQ’s Japanese fans began buying the same outfit. This led to the outfit selling out on various Japanese online shopping malls such as Sugar Online and HOOP-LOOP, and even the pair of leggings and t-shirt that have a similar pattern were sold out as well. One photo led to a complete sell out of a product.

TVXQ showed off their ‘sell out’ power in Japan when the collaboration goods they produced with Seven-Eleven Japan sold out across the nation. Also, their fifth Japanese album ‘TONE’ was sold out in Synnara Records in Korea, proving their lasting popularity in both countries.

for tutorial on kakao, (See Below)

Good News: TVXQ/HoMin has Kakao Talk (카카오톡) Bad News: It’s not available for certain countries

ShareDigg DiggI have this habit of checking the official TVXQ website, and imagine my reaction when I saw this:

If my understanding is correct, it says “TVXQ KakaoTalk Plus Friends Opening Information!”

Well, days before this news of SM Entertainment tying up with KakaoTalk came out. And so they’ve finally opened an KakaoTalk account andddd info on how to add the boys is available!!! So of course I clicked the link, and got my 6002theMicky (the iPhone 4) ready. This was the closest to a TVXQ twitter account we can get!

Instructions on how to add TVXQ on KakaoTalk (I think this one is for those using Android phones?):
1. Open KakaoTalk > Go to Settings > Manage Friends > Plus Friends

2. Friend Settings > Find friends by Nickname > Input Artist

For iPhone users:
Manage Friends > Plus Friends

Basically you’re supposed to see TVXQ from a list of Plus Friends.

I did this immediately… And took screen caps:

KakaoTalk: “Sorry, Plus Friend is currently not available in your country.”

Me: #@$%&#$%!!!!

SERIOUSLY SAD/DISAPPOINTED RN. /dies

Well, for sure it works for those who are in Korea/has a Korean phone number. I’m not sure if it is available for other countries, so if you guys have KakaoTalk, and live elsewhere besides Philippines/Korea, do try it out and let me know if it works for you? ^^

*sigh* Hopefully they make it available to more countries and users! Right now it’s just wowww too exclusive =/

It would really be wonderful if I could get KakaoTalk alerts telling me that TVXQ’s posted this and that and whatnot : ( Why can’t the boys just get twitter! OTL

Anyways, yea. I got too excited over nothing (for now). I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed and praying PlusFriends option will be available for those in the Philippines! Haha ^^

/EDIT/

Found more stuff —

KakaoTalk – PlusFriends Tutorial (posted by kakaocorp)
Walk-through tutorial on how the new feature works, uploaded by KakaoCorp : D

And a list of some of the available PlusFriends. As you can see everyone can be added by @USERNAME. Normally, you need to know someone’s phone number or KakaoTalk ID to be able to add them. With the new feature, the only thing needed is their username : D But again, only available to Korean users =_=

Honestly just… wow. KakaoTalk’s seriously expanding. Sort of like me2DAY, but phone based *_* Now please to make this available for everyone /cries

There have been updates already… Here are some screencaps:

^Maybe someone can translate? ^^”

Ah.. I wonder… Do they update it themselves? =[ It’s probably the staff doing it right =/ GAH GET ME2DAY OR TWITTER OR SMTH D: (ok how many times have I said that?)

[News] 111017 JYJ Draws 80,000 Fans To ‘JYJ UNFORGETTABLE LIVE CONCERT IN JAPAN 2011′

[News] 111017 JYJ Draws 80,000 Fans to ‘JYJ UNFORGETTABLE LIVE CONCERT IN JAPAN 2011′

JYJ‘s latest solo concert has confirmed their fame in Japan, as they managed to attract more than 80,000 fans over two days!

Concert tickets for ‘JYJ UNFORGETTABLE LIVE CONCERT IN JAPAN 2011‘ sold out as soon as tickets became available, and the server crashed due to a massive influx of visitors. Every seat for the solo concert was sold out, and even standing room sections at the venue was practically brimming over with excited fans.

On October 3rd, thousands of fans flocked to the park to see JYJ perform from cities like Osaka, Sapporo, Tokyo, and more. It’s being reported that all parts of the country got hit with heavy traffic due to the amount of fans driving to the concert. An associate of the concert commented, “We were already surprised because the tickets were sold out, but we were surprised again by JYJ’s fame when the standing sections (which could hold a capacity of thousands) became full.”

JYJ had put on a spectacular show, performing songs from their first Korean album, ‘In Heaven‘, as well other hit songs from their worldwide album, ‘The Beginning‘.

They also had the crowd going wild when they performed OST songs from dramas that JYJ were affiliated with, such as “I Found You” from ‘SungKyunKwan Scandal‘, “Protect You” from ‘Protect the Boss‘, and “You Are So Beautiful” from ‘Scent of a Woman‘.

One 40-year-old fan commented, “I really like JYJ. I’m a housewife so on the day of the ticket site opening, I waited in front of the computer from morning to night, waiting for the site to reboot. I applied through the ticket lottery for front seats; luckily, I was given a good seat. The JYJ members are good-looking and they have a great harmony. They are also funny, which makes them even more popular.”

Another fan, aged 45, admitted, “My daughter and wife love JYJ so inevitably, I ended up liking their music as well. The whole family left the house at 3:00 AM to watch their concert, but we couldn’t get to the front of the standing section. I’m so excited, regardless, because I got to see JYJ’s performance.“.

Touched by the overwhelming show of support, the members expressed, “We are so blessed to see our fans in Japan. We had mixed reviews when it was revealed that our concert would be at a spot that got affected by the earthquake, but we didn’t want to miss the chance of seeing our fans in Japan. On this day, we felt everyone’s love for us and because of that, it gave us courage.”

When the members finished giving their message to their fans, the fans reacted with their tears and started to chant, “It’s okay, JYJ!” JYJ finished the concert with their song, “In Heaven“.

Hello, this is Park Yoochun. It’s nice to see you.

Today, I get to play The Legend of Zelda – Skyward Sword.

I’ve liked this game ever since I was a little kid, from when I was in the 6th or 7th grade.

The Legend of Zelda was the first game I played on the Nintendo 64 console that my father bought for me as a birthday present for the first time.

At that time, I wasn’t very fluent in English so I worked on my English a lot by playing The Legend of Zelda, and I remember having lots of fun playing the game.

Since then, I really got into The Legend of Zelda and I’m sure I’ve played just about every single game of the series.

Even when the previous version of the game came out, I pre-ordered it, bought it and played it in Japan, saying that I’d use it to study Japanese.

I finally get to play this game and I really want to get started as soon as possible.

I’ll try to play the game well.
