[News] 111104 JYJ Targeting Europe – Why it is Praiseworthy?

“We’re hungry to show you what a real World Tour is!”

Group JYJ is the first singer of Republic of Korea who succeeded a solo concert in Spain. On the 29th Oct (local time) JYJ had a brilliant concert at Poble Espanyol, Barcelona, in front of 3000 people which didn’t include only Spanish fans but also other European fans from France, Netherlands, Switzerland, etc.

This concert was indeed a challenge. Although among domestic netizens, there were different opinions regarding the number of audience, the meaning and value of JYJ’s challenge are not going to fade. It was hard to find a reputable promoter for a concert of Korean artist. This is reality. For this concert, JYJ’s agency C-Jes Entertainment has directly worked on it from A to Z and has had to overcome several obstacles.

Europe is like a wasteland. For a Korean artist to hold a solo concert in Spain, it was full of burdens and problems that general public couldn’t imagine of. Moreover, it wasn’t a concert planned with participation of various artists from a large company but a fruit achieved by just one team. Therefore, the challenge is praiseworthy enough itself and we can’t help praising its meaning.

If we must compare numerically, the number of attendees was of course humble. They are JYJ who could mobilize tens of thousands of audience if the concert was held in Korea or Japan. Just look at the concert in Japan which was held before European tour, they sang in front of 40,000 spectators per day, so 80,000 in total. But in the strange land of Spain, they stood in front of thousands of spectators. Even so, JYJ has brought off a more elated stage than ever. The press that has directly attended the concert and the officials agreed that “Although they have stood in front of tens of thousands of fans just a few days ago… they really tried their best, without low-spiritedness or fear.”

The more praiseworthy thing is their ultimate goal to break through into Europe.

Representative of C-Jes Entertainment, Mr. Baek Changjoo had a meet up with Osen in Spain. He described JYJ’s ultimate goal to become World Star, “Our final goal is to achieve a real world tour. Even in Europe, large companies have brought large-scale concerts to Paris (France), London (UK), etc. But JYJ is facing a new challenge by starting a solo concert in Spain and Germany, countries where the embers of K-pop were just about to fire. Our dream is to eventually hold a real meaningful world tour encompassing all Asia, America and Europe. Through this European tour, we want to verify our potential and to make this an opportunity to introduce K-pop more to Europeans. I think a real world tour is clearly possible if we can make it in South America too after this.”

He also added with firm determination, “If a foreign artist can mobilize 10,000 spectators for a solo concert, it could be called great success. We aim to hold a world tour including Europe once a year, every time we release an album and to do a showcase in Europe in the future.”

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.”

Translation 111103 JYJ Hitachinaka Concert was Introduced in A Japanese CS TV Program

[Trans] 111103 JYJ Hitachinaka Concert was Introduced in a Japanese CS TV Program Eng subbed

T/N: This program (Kan-tame! POP) was broadcasted in Fuji TV CS network (Skyperfect TV & Cable TV) on Nov 1.

“In Heaven”, the new album of JYJ, which was released in Korea in Sept, is causing repercussions.

Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu, who left Tohoshinki because of their problems with the management company, made a new unit JYJ. Though they turned their back to the company and made a new start, the lawsuit with their previous company is still going on, so they were not able to hold live concerts.

In the new album, the members themselves composed and wrote the lyrics for most of the songs, they were participating positively to the production of the album. However, one of the songs in the album “Pierrot” was judged ineligible to broadcast by KBS, and had restrictions in their promotions.

(T/N: the lyrics of Pierrot)

The “p.s.m” phrase in the lyrics is said to be the initials of the President of their previous company, and it was interpreted that the lyrics was slandering an individual person. Thus, KBS judged the song ineligible to broadcast.

They were restricted from appearing in music programs not only in Korea but in Japan, too, and it was doubtful that events would be held. Their difficult situations were continuing for months. Under such difficult circumstances, JYJ’s event in Japan was held for two days without any special publicities. In the venue in Ibaraki, many fans gathered from all over Japan. According to the official announcement, the number was 80 thousand in 2 days!

Fan 1: (T/N: introducing her own name)
Fan 2: (T/N: introducing her own name) I hope that someone can make an environment so that they could promote freely in Japan.
Fan 3: I can feel that they are doing their best even under the current severe conditions, so I would like to support them as long as I can.
Fan 4: I feel that the connection between JYJ and the fans are very strong.
Fan 5: I hope that we can move forward with their love, and also with our love.

For the Japanese fans, the live concert and the new album were received with a flood of emotions. That may speak for the fact that the pre-order for “In Heaven” exceeded over 300 thousand. The album increased its sales, so that the shops had to make a special counter on the day of the release.

Yamamoto: We received a message from a JYJ fan. May I introduce it here?
Furuya: Yes, please.
Y: Sesami-san, 50 years old, a lady. Thank you very much. “I am always enjoying the broadcast. At last, JYJ released their Korean album! Though they haven’t done any promotions, the pre-order exceeded 300 thousand. That means, they are not only popular, but also have the real ability.”
F: It was the hot topics before release that the pre-order exceeded 300 thousand. If the 300 thousand sales is the actual number, the album will be the highest selling album in Korea this year. Of course there are gaps between the shipment and the actual sales number, so we do not know what the final results will be, but it means that the album is in high demand.
Y: Sesami-san also says that she would like to support JYJ’s activities in Japan, but their music videos are not broadcasted, and maybe the fans should feel impatient… I thought so, looking at her message.
F: Basically, their problem is not solved. In this stage, the promotions in both countries may be difficult in many cases.

[News] Junsu and Ok Juhyun Both Cast in Elisabeth, Draw Anticipation

Ok Juhyun and Kim Junsu who are being recognized as musical actors from idol stars have become cast in the musical Elisabeth. The two are heightening the anticipation for the large-theater musical Elisabeth that will draw its curtains in the coming February by being cast as Elisabeth and Death.

The musical Elisabeth is a re-interpretation of the story of the real-life empress of Austria Elisabeth and her death. This musical begins with the counterargument from Lucheni who is undergoing a trial of 100 years with the charge that he has murdered the empress. He argues that “the Empress loved death” and the story of the life and death of Elisabeth unfold.

Ok Juhyun takes the role of the lead Elisabeth and transforms into the tragic empress who is trapped within the royal halls and dreams of a free life and love. The musical actress Kin Sunyoung has been double-cast in the same role. Kim Junsu appears as the character that personifies death. He falls in fateful love with Elisabeth and endlessly tempts her. Ryu Junghan and Song Changwee have been triple-cast in the same role.

The production company EMK Musical Company said: “It has not been confirmed as to whether Ok Juhyun and Kim Junsu will stand on the same stage together. We plan to decide as to which actors appear together for all actors after mediating their schedules.”

Elisabeth first played in Vienna in 1992 and has since been performed in nations all around the world, and in Korea this is the first performance. The playwrights Sylvester Levay and Michael Kunze who showed Mozart! to Korea have this as one of their other representative works. The directing will be taken by Robert Johansson of the performance Hamlet.

For the role of Franz Joseph who loved Elisabeth only for all of his life, Yun Youngsuk and Min Youngki have been cast. For the narrator Lucheni, Kim Suyong, Choi Minchul and Park Euntae have taken the role and plan to act with enthusiasm.

The performance will take place from February 9 to May 13 in the Blue Square of Hannandong, Seoul.

[TRANS] 111101 Influential Spanish Paper Praises JYJ, “3-Man Justin Bieber Appears”

On 29 October, the famous Spanish daily paper “El Mundo” published a report about the JYJ Concert in Barcelona, Spain and has become a hot topic. The article, which was published on 29 October (the day of the concert) not only introduced JYJ, but also expressed their anticipation for this Spanish concert.

This article from 29 October introduced them as “JYJ, the boyband that shook Korea” and used “A 3-man Justin Bieber” as the headline to talk about JYJ’s album and details about their Europe concerts.

Also, the article mentioned that “The album used to break into the American market, which Kanye West participated in the production of, sold over 500,000 copies”, “with the release of their new album “In Heaven,” they are touring Europe” and others. In the article, their description about each of the members’ individial charms gained much attention as they wrote “Junsu, Yoochun and Jaejoong are like Justin Bieber, very handsome, very manly, very stylish and very fashionable,” “Their intense gazes drive the fans wild.”

Representatives of JYJ said, “There has never been a mention of Kpop in the large Spanish papers, yet they introduced JYJ, who are foreign artists holding a solo concert in Spain, so we’re really happy.” “During the press conference, the number of interested parties were larger than expected, and this passionate atmosphere was a surprise to us, but also proved to us that coming to the Europe market was the right decision.”

Also, to learn more about the JYJ concerts in Europe, the pre-concert press conference that was held  on the morning of 29 October gathered over 50 media outlets showing their interest in JYJ. Famous television and radio stations as well as press media attended this press conference,  displaying their high level of interest over Asia’s strongest group JYJ, who have already successfully held their concert tours in Japan and America. A special point to note was that Catalunya radio station’s Tatiana Alvarez said, “What really surprised me was that despite being in Spain, a country without much understanding, they managed to sell out their concert tickets really quickly . Coming to this press conference today, I finally understood why the tickets were sold out so quickly. They are really charming, and the concert is definitely worth watching.”

JYJ will be holding another European concert in Berlin on 6 November at 7pm, and like this concert, we hope that it will be antother sell-out show.
