[TRANS] 120424 TVXQ, Preparing For Korean Activities With The Completion Of Their Japanese Tour
It has been revealed that TVXQ will be making a “return of the kings” when they make their comeback in the later half of this year.
TVXQ, whom we met just before the finale of the “Tohoshinki Live Tour 2012 ～TONE～” concert in the Kyocera Dome Osaka, said, “We are preparing for our comeback, which is targeted for the later part of this year.” TVXQ said, “It seems like we have kept the Korean fans waiting as our activities were centered in Japan for the first half of this year. We will work hard to get closer to the fans in Korea with brand new images. The exact promotional period has not been decided upon, but we want to produce good results at an appropriate time. We would also like to have concerts if possible.” TVXQ, who has completed 26 concerts over the course of 3 months, at a pace of about one concert every 4 days, will be taking a break before pushing forward with the preparations for their activities in Korea.
Yunho smiled while saying, “We would like to rest. The tour has continued throughout these 3 months, so the fatigue which has accumulated cannot be ignored. Although it is true that our stamina is a little weaker since it is the finale, we get burts of energy just with the word ‘finale’.” Changmin explained, “First, I would like to relieve the stress which has built up thus far by doing things such as having a drink with friends. Preparations are underway for an album to be released this year, along with other activities through which we will showcase the best sides of ourselves. In order to prepare well for the album, we will be taking a break after the concerts to recharge.”
The hair and makeup directors, stylist, choreographer, music video director, photographer that contributed to Kim Junsu’s new record reveal its concept and strategy.
The title “UNEQUALLED” represents Junsu’s unique creativity and identity, penetrating into the overall concept of the album.
“Kim Junsu is a world-class artist. He is a leader among numerous idols and what he picks turn to a trend. The ideas for this album distinctive in that the hairstyle shows various colors that represent a series of feelings covered by one song. It also features Orient’s emotional base and a hint of the West” said the hair and makeup director.
Moon Ju-yeong, the makeup director, was handed the baton: “the overall concept is very intense, dense, deep and differentiated from any other idol singers, in a word, ‘strong’. The makeup features intense, mysterious eyes.”
The costume stylist gives an account of Junsu’s stage clothes: “Attention to details added to the foundation of on-trend see-through look and slim suit design. Geometric patterns and modern materials realize a ‘modern heritage’ concept that mixes and matches the modern trends and heritages.”
“At a word, Kim Junsu is a triple threat, which refers to an individual proficient in the disciplines of acting, singing, and dancing represented by Justin Timberlake, Beyonce and Christina Aguilera. His world-class talents are limitless. I used many hard-edge movements corresponding to his music, and as always, Junsu did wonders” said Jeri Slaughter, choreographer of JYJ’s worldwide album.
Kim Yeong-jun who took photos of Junsu for the record jacket reports: “It was a satisfactory shooting as he showed various emotions through his eyes. Junsu is an intriguing subject that has both a masculine, strong appeal and feminine beauty in the face.”
The music video director also remarked: “this video has been designed to incorporate his tremendous energy and dreamlike, abstract feelings. The perfect harmony between sets and choreography created a fervent and exquisite visual.”
Regarding my solo concert that will happen on this 27th May, the concert venue is at Paragon Hall, and to which I think all of the details have already been announced.
And this is my 1st solo concert so there would be some parts of me that you have never seen before but I’ll try my best to present other abilities of mine to you. I’d be happy and glad if everyone comes to watch my performance at Paragon Hall on this 27th May. If we get a chance to create memories together, it’d be awesome. I really look forward to meet everyone on 27th May.
See you all, bye bye
