Kim Jaejoong said, “Since the Busan concert, I didn’t have a single phone conversation with the other members,” and “But I bumped into Park Yoochun by chance three times.”

To this, Park Yoochun burst out laughing and said, “I was tired from filming my drama but I didn’t want to waste the spare time that I had, so I went out for a glass of beer with my friends. But there was Kim Jaejoong, sitting in the bar we had just entered. I was really surprised.”

He continued to add, “The owner of the bar thought that I had come with Kim Jaejoong, who had been sitting alone, so he took us all to his room without even asking.”

JYJ’s Park Yoochun is currently acting in MBC’s Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Miss Ripley’ while Kim Jaejoong will be taking his first steps into the domestic drama industry with the SBS drama ‘Protect The Boss’. Kim Junsu will be greeting his audience at the Seongnam Arts Center’s Opera House through the encore performance of the musical ‘Mozart!’ till early July.

[Trans] 110622 Xiah Junsu Lives In The Same Neighborhood As Lee Sora.. 288m² For 1.8 Billion Won

It has been confirmed that JYJ’s Xiah Junsu lives in the same neighborhood as singer Lee Sora.

Lee Sora’s Winsle County town house in Paju, Gyeonggi-do has become a hot topic online and it has been found that Xiah Junsu’s parents live in the same area.

Xiah Junsu’s house is a 87 pyeong(approximately 288m²) Winsle County house and was sold to him at a market price of around 1.7 to 1.8 billion Won. Lee Sora is living in a 75 pyeong(248m²) house that costs approximately 1.5 billion Won. The two houses are at a very close distance though each is built as a detached villa, and they’ve been called the ‘Star Town Houses’ amongst those living in the neighborhood.

Xiah Junsu has garnered great attention in the past when he released photos of his house’s interior on his Twitter account. In May, he uploaded photos of his garden of flowers with the captions, “I fed my fish. The baby fish have grown up so much,” and “This is the scenery of the garden from the second floor. The azaleas have bloomed and the running water sounds pretty good.”

Winsle County is made up of 98 large-scale town houses across 43,281m² of land and each villa has three floors, of which one is underground. Each villa has an average of 100m² of private gardens, has parking space for at least two cars and can each have its mailing address registered individually. Each room has great lighting and scenery as the houses are surrounded by an array of beautiful landscapes.

A representative of Dongmoon Construction stated, “As it is impossible to see the inside of the house when you pass by, it would be close to impossible to invade the families’ privacies,” and “Most of the people who live in the houses are executives of firms, professionals, and delegates.”

NEWS] ‘Mozart!’ Who Has Made a Come Back, 4 Person 4 Colours of Different Appeal
May 25, 2011 by withjyj

Last year, the musical ‘Mozart!’ which created a new record has once again found its way to the ancore stage. This time round, extraordinarily, 4 male actors have at the same time been casted for the role and they will be performing with 4 different colours of their very own appeal.

▶4 person 4 colours Mozart! =”Im TaeKyung is gentle and Seom SeHan has good acting skills. They were able to express the lyrics of the songs very well.” (‘Mozart’ Director Yoo HeeSung)

Im TaeKyung, a musical actor of 7 years and a cross over tenor , is a star in the musical world who has then attracted lots of female fans. He’s just like a genius arts performer. He acted the troubled Mozart role in between that of his 2 characters. Carry forward from the pervious year, he is standing on the stage for the second time as Mozart and he said Mozart is like “a messanger who is here to speak of the voices of the heaven” and “Although he’s a genius who has created many masterpiece but actually he’s also one who has issues with communication with otheres. That’s why though the music, he expresses his feelings and stories to others.”

Im TaeKyung, who seems to have a face that reflects of a certain circumstance and a pair of eyes of that of a tender deer that captures the hearts of woman, oddly has of much resemblance to Mozart. Perhaps that’s why the feelings of Mozart he expresses is very much unique. Im TaeKyung who has over this period of time gained many experiences from those roles he was given, aggresively went to audition for Mozart. For the first time, he has a certain greed for this work piece ‘Mozart’ and gained a starting point though not a cross over tenor but as a musical actor.

JYJ Kim Junsu’s Mozart has come back too. Director Yoo HeeSung gave a favourable comment saying, “At first we name him as the ’musical whiz kid’ but, now it isn’t exaggerated to call him as ‘musical genius’. His speed of picking up the acting is amazingly fast and he adapts quickly to environment.”

We should remember clearly that it was musical that lit up the darken days when Junsu came out of TVXQ and formed JYJ as a new starting point. To him, ‘Mozart’ held the meaning of a brand new start. Actually the performances this time round was tight with JYJ’s packed schedules and it was difficult for him to act but because Junsu insisted that he wants to act, he thus took part in the musical. He explained that, “Because it is ‘Mozart’, I want to do it again. It was Mozart which came along under the circumstances when I need to make a comeback. (Mozart) This work is the medium of this society.”

Junsu’s unique husky voice searched around looking for the colour for Mozart. His husky voice as his organ has, instead, made the musical sounds ​​vocalist more fruitfully featured. Including the distinctive voice of the deep emotions, the strong point was Junsu who truly wanted to act his way of Mozart.

[Translation] 110619 Jung Sun Ah Praises Kim Junsu In Her Interview

It looks like each member of the ‘Mozart quartet’ has his own unique character?

“They’re different. Each of them are different.”

#2 Kim Junsu(Xiahzart): “Wow~ That kid is really a prodigy. That word explains him well. I think he’s really intelligent. Compared to last year’s performances, he wasn’t able to rehearse much for the encore performance because he was also holding a world tour in between. He came to about two rehearsals and did a run-through and he was so good at it. There were a lot of changes in the lyrics from last year’s performances, but he was perfect.“

“He talks to me on the phone and we chat on Kakao Talk often. I really like him. But it’s not only me; other ‘aunties’… like Young Suk and Lee Gyeong Mi, really like him too. This is confidential.. but when we’re in the make up room, there’s a monitor that let’s us watch what Junsu’s doing on stage. Whenever Junsu comes on, we all say, “How is he so good?”, “Awwww~” and “Look at him, look at him!” Gyeong Mi’s love for Junsu is amazing.”

(omitted)

Two of your husbands are older than you and two are younger than you.

“I don’t know about Junsu, but I can feel the age difference with Dong Seok, though they’re both younger than me. He’s quite handsome on stage. Hahaha!”

(omitted)

“Could there be anyone (who came from being a celebrity to a musical actor) who loves musicals more than I do? For people who have come from the TV screen to the musical stage, some may see musicals as just a job that brings home the paycheck. But how much do those people really love musicals? Of course, Junsu is an exception. From when I was little, I’ve always dreamed of becoming a musical actress. Now, I’m living it and wanting to make it my entire life.”

(omitted)

Who is the actor who has had the best chemistry with you till now? Just so you know, a fan of Kim Junsu asked this question.

“Hahaha! First of all, I’d just like to say that I have horrible memory. When a concert has an encore performance, people usually remember how other actors were in the initial performance, but I can’t. My mom says, ‘How do you memorize your lines with that awful memory of yours?’ I’m better at momentary concentration.”

“At first, I worked really well with Gun Myeong. At that time, I didn’t know much so it must have been hard on him. I work really well with Junsu too. I thought we wouldn’t have great chemistry together but we surprisingly do. It’s because Junsu’s so witty.“

[Translation] 110530 ‘World Tour’ JYJ, “We Are Getting Stronger As More Time Passes”

JYJ, who started their two-month long worldwide tour in Bangkok, Thailand, revealed their thoughts on their remaining two performances.

Kim Jaejoong, who acted as the Director for the Asia leg of the tour, stated, “I worked hard to make it a stage where the singers’ abilities are better showcased,” and “I worked especially hard on understanding each city’s incorporated culture and tried to find a way to communicate with each location’s fans in the most effective way possible. Because the ideas in my head came true at each performance, I was happy to share moving and electrifying moments with our fans and I’m thankful to all the people who came to watch our performances.”

Kim Junsu stated, “In our US performances, we’re working with the best teams in the world, people who have choreographed for Beyoncé and Christina Aguilera,” and “The best moments are when our dance team gives us thumbs-ups at the end of our performances and when the staff compliment our live skills and tell us we harmonize perfectly. As these staff members have worked with global pop stars, I feel as though their praises have more weight and meaning to them and it makes me happy because I can feel our potential through their words.“

News 110512 Can Kim Junsu Draw K-Pop Crowds Again?

Odd. No one mentions Levay With Friends, which was Junsu’s second time performing this role. It also sold out.
This is his third committment to the role, and I believe that he will do even better than before. All five of the original DBSK members are hard-working perfectionists, and they put every effort into their work.
I do not believe that this is a phenomena. Junsu’s appeal will be there for some time to come. Watching your back, mancub. Momma Cha.

News 110512

Can Kim Jun-su draw K-pop crowds again?All eyes on Kim during rehearsal for ‘Mozart!’ musical starting its second round

Namsan Creative Center in Yejang-dong, central Seoul, was jammed with about 200 people on Wednesday when musical “Mozart!” opened its practice room to press and fans.

Though there were no ardent fans screaming or waving placards, it was obvious by the direction the cameras were flashing in that most were there to see one particular actor, Kim Jun-su.

The JYJ K-pop group member would have easily garnered the press anyway, but his popularity has further skyrocketed since he stepped into the musical scene. He is one of the few idol star-turned-musical actors who are successful.
The musical “Mozart!” which tells the life of the legendary musician through musical genres including rock and jazz, set an impressive record by attracting more than 100,000 audience members during its first short run of about a month in Seoul last year.

All tickets were sold out and the musical took home 11 local musical awards at the end of the year. At the heart of the fever was Kim, a former member of boy band TVXQ, who drew thousands of his fans to the theater.

The 15 shows that he starred in were the ones that were completely sold out within three hours of ticket sales. Scalped tickets were sold online for as much as three million won. Tickets to his second musical, “Tears of Heaven,” in which he starred as a Korean soldier earlier this year, were all sold out as well.
Because his “ticket-power” is currently unbeatable, his guarantee fee is known to have been around 35 million won per show for the first round of “Mozart!” topping that of most veteran musical actors.

“I actually just wanted to do one musical per year. Now is a busy time for me, but I badgered my agency to let me do this because it is ‘Mozart!’ This is something much more than just a musical,” said Kim, who is also currently on a world tour with JYJ.

Kim is taking the role of Mozart again for the second round of the musical which will take place from May 24 to July 3 at Seongnam Art Center Opera House in Yatab-dong, Gyeonggi Province. Three more actors ― veteran musical actor Im Tae-gyung and up-and-coming stars Park Eun-tae and Jeon Dong-seok ― will be sharing the role.

Decked in a fancy red Mozart’s coat, Kim sang one of the musical numbers, “Why Don’t You Love Me,” in front of the press and fans on Wednesday.

His voice was rather soft without a microphone, but there was something that seemed to draw in the listeners ― perhaps the boyish coarseness in his voice and his unadorned, surprisingly quick immersion into the character.

Musical insiders and critics say that Kim’s vocal and dance skills honed during his long training period to debut as TVXQ and his experiences of performing in front of hundreds and thousands of people is paying off.

“I called him a musical prodigy during the last ‘Mozart!’ This time, I think he has reached the stage of a genius. Although he only recently started musicals, he could not be any quicker in learning it,” said Yu Hee-seong, director of the musical.

Kim said that “Mozart!” helped him make a comeback after the TVXQ scandal. Kim and two other members of TVXQ ― Park Yoo-chun, Kim Jae-joong ― filed a lawsuit against S.M. Entertainment over their 13-year contract in July 2009 and formed a new group, JYJ, together.

“It helped me come out to the world, and had me welcomed by the audience again. Looking at videos of the last show, I spotted some unsatisfying parts that I did not realize at the time. I will work hard to present a more mature and perfect performance this time,” said Kim.

EMK Musicals, the producer of the musical, expects tickets to sell out immediately, like last time. The company is opening ticket sales for shows starring Kim at 10 a.m. on May 24, an hour earlier than for other shows.

Although some point out that the Kim Jun-su craze is only temporary, as it relies on his fans, musical insiders say that it could bring positive results for the musical industry by expanding its audience base to the younger generation.

Written by Michael Kunze and music by Sylvester Levay, the musical “Mozart!” premiered at Theater An Der Wien in Vienna, Austria in 1999. Some lyrics have been changed and songs rearranged from last year’s show for the upcoming production.

The musical will run from May 24 to July 3 at Seongnam Art Center Opera House in Yatab-dong in Gyeonggi Province. Tickets range from 30,000 won to 13,000 won. For more information, call (02) 6391-6333 or visit www.musicalmozart.co.kr.

Translation 110425 From Seaweed Monster To Thomas… Hilarious Nicknames For Stars

When looking at nicknames that fans have made for their favorite stars, we can gauge the fans interest in them. For idols especially, being called by their nickname is much more common than being called by their real name and the stories that lead up to the birth of these nicknames are different for each star. Some nicknames are derived from the stars’ names while others come from the stars’ character or talent. We’ve put together the most intriguing nicknames that are filled with the love and mischief of fans.

[omitted]

◆Emphasizing a talent or characteristic…
JYJ’s Kim Junsu (25) is called ‘Dolphin’ by his fans. The nickname was made based on a comparison between Kim Junsu’s vocal talent and that of the dolphin, with the mammal’s ability to produce sound waves too high in frequency for humans to hear. The nickname was created due to the singer’s vocal range that easily encompasses high notes. Recently, Kim Junsu was deemed the most vocally talented idol member in a survey and fans responded to this with the compliment, “Our dolphin boy Kim Junsu has done it again.”

[omitted]

◆Coming from their looks… ‘It’s possible’
JYJ’s Park Yoochun(25) was the target of many fans’ complaints when he decided to grow his hair out to a length that made it seem somewhat shaggy and bushy. Many fans commented on his wavy, long hairstyle and said, “It reminds me of seaweed,” thus giving birth to the nickname ‘Seaweed monster’. When he returned to a more neat and short hairstyle, it became such a hot topic that the words ‘Park Yoochun’s haircut’ became one of the most searched phrases on a popular portal site.
