“We are nervous, but extremely excited. Everything feels brand new, as if we just debuted” – Yunho

TVXQ! — aka 27-year-old Yunho and 25-year-old Changmin, undoubtedly two of the biggest names in K-pop history — proved their supremacy as a pair of “K-pop Kings,” by amassing a total of 700,000 fans to their five-stop, Japan Dome tour, “TVXQ! Live Tour 2013 Time.” Continuing the success, the duo embarked on their first world tour titled, “TVXQ! LIVE WORLD TOUR ‘CATCH ME,’” on Nov. 17, 2012, in Seoul, Korea. They dazzled thousands in Hong Kong (Jan. 19), China (March 30) and Malaysia (May 18), and they finally brought the much-anticipated leg of the tour to America for a Los Angeles date on July 5.

The excitement caused by TVXQ’s first L.A. concert was felt at Nokia Theatre on Friday night. TVXQ’s fans, known as Cassiopeia, arrived hours before the show was to begin. Most fans, dressed in red t-shirts (a signature color for TVXQ!) showed support by holding flash mob events as well as handmade signs.

PHOTOS: BACKSTAGE & ONSTAGE WITH TVXQ!

Backstage, TVXQ appeared energized and high-spirited, despite jet lag and exhaustion from hours of rehearsal. The duo spent the last hour before the show relaxing their vocals (Changmin singing Kim Gun Mo’s “Moon Of Seoul”), taking pictures with lucky fans, joking around with staff members and talking to Billboard for an exclusive video interview.

“We are happy that we get to finally meet with our fans in the States,” says leader Yunho. “The show here [compared to ones in other countries] is more intimate. We are nervous, but extremely excited. Everything feels brand new, as if we just debuted. We want to share our good vibes with our fans that have waited so long.”

At 8:30 p.m. the extravaganza began slightly delayed (due to concertgoers’ unwillingness to leave merchandise booths). Ear-splitting screams erupted, red glow sticks illuminated, and some fans even cried as the packed venue watched the duo appear via hanging on wires.

TVXQ!’s electrifying show kicked off with hardcore, back-to-back performances of “Rising Sun,” “Getaway” and “Why (Keep Your Head Down).”

Taking a moment, Changmin expressed his gratitude to the thousands of fans by saying, in English, “We are so thankful to each and every one of you that came to see us tonight.” With an interpreter, he continued in Korean, “I know our U.S. fans have waited ten, long years for this concert to happen and we will promise to make up for it.”

Throughout the two-hour and a half event, the K-pop kings delivered a pitch-perfect live show with masterfully choreographed dance moves, assisted by six male backup dancers, plus special solo performances. For the solo stages, Changmin mesmerized with a cover of Maxwell’s “Whenever, Wherever, Whatever,” in a casual, striped shirt in front of a backdrop of a cityscape visual. Then, Yunho spiced it up by crooning and hip-swerving his way through his solo track, “Honey Funny Bunny,” in a sequined jacket.

‘You Guys Are So Amazing!’

The duo went through their extensive catalog of Korean and Japanese hits, including “Wrong Number” (showcasing perfectly in-sync dance moves down to their feet) “Purple Line,” “Humanoids” (their most-recent K-pop single) “Destiny,” “Dream,” “Catch Me” (wearing LED light jeweled jackets, highlighting the technical “Hulk dance”) “Before You Go” and “Mirotic.” In between performances, various TVXQ! videos were shown on the screen to preview each song.

Before bringing the show to a close, the crowd united as one for a touching moment. At one point, fans held up a placard that read, “We will always be here.” Yunho responded to the crowd in English, “You guys are so amazing! I am touched.”

The highlight of the night came when TVXQ! daringly stormed into the crowd — the first they’ve ever done so in their 10-year career, they told Billboard afterwards. The boys went off in separate directions, running through the aisles, leaving fans (and presumably security guards and ushers) in awe.

After successfully wrapping the concert Yunho reflects, “I was really taken aback to see such diversity in ages. We even saw a lady [who seemed to be in her 60s] singing along to our lyrics. This was a special night for all of us. The amount of response we got was tremendous. We won’t forget this night and we hope that our U.S. fans. will remember this night as well.”

Looking forward, TVXQ! will become the first foreign artist to perform at Japan’s Nissan Stadium on August 17 and 18. The two-day event is projected to bring in a total of 150,000 fans.

hominnoperu

TVXQ have cancelled their concert in Peru.

TVXQ were initially scheduled to hold their ‘TVXQ LIVE WORLD TOUR – Catch Me’ concert in Lima, Peru on the 14th of July. However, the concert was cancelled due to technical problems.

The Peruvian production agency that was in charge of the concert stated, “TVXQ’s concert has been cancelled. The decision to cancel the concert came from an agreement with SM Entertainment’s representatives due to technical issues pertaining to the concert such as problems with the band and equipment.” They also added, “Unfortunately, we will not be able to complete the concert given the current situation.”

Meanwhile, TVXQ successfully held the US leg of their world tour at the Nokia Theater in LA recently, and are set to be the first non-Japanese singers to hold a concert at the Nissan Stadium, which can hold up to 75,000 people.

[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] 130627 JYJ, Large-scale Fan Event “Membership Week” Finally Opens! Art Pieces Made By Members On Display

[TRANS] 130627 JYJ, Large-scale Fan Event “Membership Week” Finally Opens! Art Pieces Made By Members On Display

jyjmembershipweek2013JYJ has opened their large-scale fan meeting event, the “2013 JYJ Membership Week”, which has the purpose of allowing the fans to have fun (along with the members), and costs over 3 billion won to produce.

JYJ will be holding the “2013 JYJ Membership Week” from 27 to 30 June at SETEC in the Gangnam district of Seoul, and over 15,000 people are expected to participate. The special point about the membership week this time, is that the members have taken on a much larger participative role. Last year, JYJ created the concepts for the various corners with the aid of state-of-the-art technology, but this year, the exhibition space will be filled with art pieces done by the members, as well as photographs.

The exhibition venue of the membership week this time is approximately 3000 square metres, and comprises 3 different halls. The first hall will be used for the fan meeting, the second hall will be a “Media Facade Square”, and the third hall has been planned as JYJ’s art gallery and concert hall. In particular, the third hall houses art pieces with sensitivity, created by the members of JYJ themselves. After the exhibition ends, these pieces will be sold through an auction, and the proceeds donated.

There are also many areas where fans can participate. On one side of the exhibition hall is a large mural formed by puzzle pieces. Postcards are also prepared for fans to write letters to the JYJ members. At the exit of the exhibition hall, there is also an interesting corner where fans can stick stickers to vote for the member whose art piece they like the most.

The 2nd Membership week this time has been talked about as it takes on a new concept of fanservice from the heart, by removing the commercial aspect of the event. JYJ’s representatives see this as an investment, rather than focusing on revenue generation, and have planned a budget of 3 billion won this year, following the 3.7 billion won from last year.

JYJ’s representatives said, “SETEC is a top-notch exhibition hall. It is expected that 3 billion won will be required to cover the costs of the fanmeeting, including the fees to assist Japanese members who are visiting Korea.”

CEO Baek Chang Joo said, “The commercial aspect has been excluded from the JYJ Membership Week, and it is a plan focused solely on creating a platform for the artistes and their fans to interact. With this being the second time we are holding the Membership Week, we worked on the basis of this being a regular event rather than a one-off event right from the planning stage. The main goal is for JYJ and their fans to interact. We hope that it will be an event where many fans can create memories with JYJ, and where JYJ is able to express their gratitude and love to their fans.”

The JYJ members will be holding fanmeetings over two days, 29 and 30 June, and spending time with fans from Korea and Japan. It is planned for them to meet the Japanese fans on 29 June, and the Korean fans on 30 June. Registration was open to Korean and Japanese fans holding JYJ Membership from C-Jes Entertainment.

On 27 June, JYJ’s Junsu, who met with the media before the opening of the Membership Week, said, “I think that we would be able to have a special time with our fans, as much as our members have drawn and produced our own pieces.”

Yoochun expressed his hopes (for the event), “After looking around the exhibition hall, I am personally very satisfied. I am certain that the fans will be able to share this little happiness. I hope this event can continue in future.”

Jaejoong was unable to attend the opening ceremony due to his performances in Yokohama for the grand finale of his solo Asia Tour, but he is scheduled to attend the fanmeetings on 29 and 30 June.

Jaejoong ended his 5-month long Asia Tour together with over 45,000 Japanese fans.

From 24 to 26 June, Jaejoong held his “Kim Jaejoong Grand Finale Live Concert and Fanmeeting” at the Yokohama Arena, meeting with over 45,000 fans.

For Jaejoong’s concert this time, as soon as the ticket sales begun, the number of ticket applications received exceeded (the number of tickets available) by 4 times, and tickets were completely sold out. In response to requests from fans, standing seats and restricted view seats were added, and sold out completely as well, demonstrating Jaejoong’s high popularity.

During the first part, the fan meeting segment, Jaejoong spent an enjoyable time with the audience that filled the venue over the 3 days. During the second part, the concert segment, aside from singing songs from his first album, Jaejoong also touched the fans by singing popular Japanese songs such as “Precious”, “Crescent Moon” and “Glamorous Sky”.

During the second segment, when Jaejoong transformed into a rocker and appeared together with the live bands, the fans cheered loudly.

Jaejoong opened the mini-concert with “Mine”, the title track from his first solo mini-album, and sang all-live covers of popular Japanese songs including “Moonlight” and “The Last Rain” aside from the songs previously revealed through the setlist.

When Jaejoong began singing Ayaka’s “Crescent Moon”, the fans did a little event for Jaejoong by taking out their respective green lightsticks. And during B’z’s “Ultra Soul”, Jaejoong heated up the atmosphere of the concert as he and his fans took turns singing verses.

In response to the endless calls from fans for an encore, Jaejoong sang Nakashima Mika’s “Glamorous Sky”, presenting an explosive live stage right up to the last song, to which fans also gave their passionate support right up till the end.

Even after Jaejoong left the stage following the encore stage the fans continued calling out “Kim Jaejoong” for some time. Jaejoong then went back out on stage without a mike, shouting his thanks to the fans. Many fans were seen tearing up and not leaving the venue.

During the last performance yesterday (Wednesday), Jaejoong expressed his feelings about the conclusion of the Asia Tour, “I really wanted to meet everyone. Thank you for coming all this way. I would be great if we could meet again. I love you.”

On another note, following the release of his first solo album in January, Jaejoong began his Asia Tour through Korea, Thailand, China (Shanghai, Nanjing), Hong Kong, Taiwan, and finally Japan, and met with over 83,000 fans in a total of 7 cities.
