[News] 111101 Suju Eunhyuk “Promise With Childhood Friend Kim Junsu To Never Smoke And Drink”

[News] 111101 Suju Eunhyuk “Promise With Childhood Friend Kim Junsu To Never Smoke And Drink”

A fact about Super Junior Eunhyuk and JYJ Junsu’s friendship since primary school has been revealed.

On the special episode of the MBC variety programme “Come to Play” that aired on 31 October, Eunhyuk began his talk by stating “I don’t drink even a glass of alcohol.”

On that day, in reply to Yoo Jaesuk’s questions of “What is Eunhyuk’s capacity for alcohol? What are your drinking habits?”, Eunhyuk replied that he doesn’t even “drink a single glass of alcohol”. He also continued to say that he has been “friends with Kim Junsu since primary school” and their “dream of being singers was formed together since childhood”.

At that time, both of them made a promise. He explained his reasons for not drinking or smoking and said he was keeping the promise they willingly made then when they said “Let’s never drink or smoke.” Even though both of them are stars now, they are still keeping that promise that they made.

Translation 111027 JYJ Fan’s Voting Encouragement Project Becomes A Hot Topic As They ‘Prove They’ve Voted With CD’s

[TRANS] 111027 JYJ Fans’ Voting Encouragement Project Becomes A Hot Topic As They ‘Prove They’ve Voted With CDs’

Posted on November 1, 2011

With people uploading pictures they took of themselves to prove that they had voted for the next mayor of Seoul on the 26th, the voting encouragement project by JYJ’s fans instantly became a hot topic.

A photo that a fan took at a polling station was recently uploaded on an online community. The collection of photos that was posted alongside it was full of blue arrows with the word ‘polling station’ written upon them. But the faces of the fans who took the photos could not be seen.

The fans used JYJ’s CDs to prove they had voted instead of taking a photo with them in it like most celebrities do. The CDs that were used for the were different versions of JYJ’s first Korean album, as well as photos of JYJ and a stand-up cutout of JYJ.

Netizens who saw this left comments such as, “A great event, this is awesome”, “Like singer, like fan. How did they come up with such an idea?”, “Some of the photos made me laugh. This is unique”, and “The cutout of Jaejoong is the funniest.”

[TRANS] 111031 JYJ “Challenges Japan Using J-Pop, Battles It Out In Europe With K-Pop” (Interview)

[TRANS] 111031 JYJ “Challenges Japan Using J-Pop, Battles It Out In Europe With K-Pop” (Interview)  Posted on November 1, 2011

JYJ has successfully taken their first step into Europe with a successful concert, partying it up with 3,000 fans on 29 October at Poble Espanyol, ending the Spain leg of their European tour in triumph. This day, JYJ and the 3,000 fans became one, enjoying this historical moment of JYJ’s first European concert together.

On 28 October, at the same location, a Korean-Spanish press conference was held, and JYJ spoke honestly about their feelings, worries as well as the gratitude in their hearts. Following their concerts in Asia and America, this is their first concert in Europe, and is also the first time a Korean artist has ever held a solo concert in Spain.

“Hoping To Go To More Places, And Show More Of Ourselves To Everyone”

When talking about his feelings on this concert in Spain, Park Yoochun said “It’s the same feeling as when(we were) going to America for concerts, a greed of wanting to go to more places, and show more of ourselves to everyone. When we were in America, I felt a sense of hope as my eyes were opened to new possibilities, and we feel the same way about Europe.

Following which, he said “Honestly speaking, it’s been hard to gauge how much influence JYJ will have in Europe. However, starting in Spain and Germany feels like we’ve created a stepping stone to slowly but steadily getting JYJ’s name out there. This may not be a large-scale concert like those held in Asia, but this concert is our motivation and in our hearts, we feel that we could possibly hold concerts on the big stages of Europe and America in the future.

After the concert in Spain is concluded, JYJ will be holding their second European concert in Berlin, Germany on 6 November.

With regards to the selection of Spain and Germany as the European concert locations, Junsu said, “Although it would be great to be able to hold concerts in all parts of Europe, this is still not possible (as of now.) We still do not know the degree of our influence here, and instead of just challenging it in an unreasonable manner, we felt that it would be better to do this in a geographical manner,  gathering the fans in Western Europe to Spain, and those in Eastern Europe to Berlin. We want to say that in the future, when we do concerts in Europe for a second time, it could be possible to include more countries, and hold more concerts for everyone to see,” his words brimming with anticipation for the future.

When the reporters asked, “Was anything special prepared for the Spanish Stage?” Kim Jaejoong replied “We are working together with local dance group Rafa Mendez’s dancers, and we’re working on the choreography together to do a simple performance. Even though JYJ already has the basic dances, we’ve prepared a concert that includes the passionate performance methods unique to the Spanish as well as a skillful stage with acrobatics.”

“More People Than Expected Knew About Us, Gave Us A Shock”

During the time of the press conference, fans could already be seen a day before the concert, setting up tents outside the gates of Poble Espanyol. These fans carried the flags of Italy, France and other countries and cheered for JYJ. A concert management personnel said that these fans were willing to stay out overnight so that they could get better seats for the concert.

On the topic of whether they could feel their popularity in Europe, Kim Junsu said, “There were more fans than expected, which was a shock. Actually, we all knew that Spain was a country that was famous for its football, but we didn’t know very much beyond that, so when we found out that the (concert) tickets were sold out, we were shocked. “

Yesterday I went out and walked around for the first time, and quite a few people recognised me which was another shock. There were two (people) at Starbucks, and when I was walking on the streets I was recognised two or three times, once by an Italian fan who was holding our CD and was hoping for my signature, it was truly amazing. Because of this, I’m even more determined to do well during the Barcelona and Berlin concerts.

– How do you feel about standing on a stage that is smaller than your previous ones?

(Kim Jaejoong) Although this stage is smaller than previous ones, it bears a totally different meaning. In Korea and Japan, we started from small stages, and slowly gained the love of our fans. Therefore, although this European concert stage is small, it still feels like a very good starting point. Instead of creating an overly exaggerated large-scale concert in Europe, beginning with a small-scale stage with the mindset of starting afresh seems like a better idea.

– K-Pop has been relatively popular in America, as well as Paris, but the popularity of K-Pop in Spain doesn’t seem as visible, so is this a fear or burden to you?

(Kim Jaejoong) I wouldn’t call it a K-POP boom, but a K-POP craze that was created from the Korean groups’ fanbases that rose up. The majority of the 3,000 or so fans that have come for the Barcelona concert are probably JYJ fans. Therefore, I hope that they can sing along to our Korean songs, and are looking forward to a Korean style performance. Because of this, there isn’t any real burden or pressure.

– As the first Korean group to hold a concert in Europe, surely some mental preparation was required.

(Kim Junsu) I think this is an adequate opportunity for us to show that small-scale performances are feasible and it doesn’t always have to be a concert by a big agency. During the Asian concerts, we would work with local dancers, and stacked up some experience on overseas performances. As these are fans who have come for K-pop, we have to consider carefully what kind of European elements to include, what kind of effect it will have and we hope to show a multi-faceted side to everyone.

“Although Japan Was Challenged Using J-Pop, The Battle In Europe Is With K-Pop”

– You are starting with small steps in Europe, but the small starting steps you took in Japan resulted in immense popularity. Although these are just small steps, what is your broad aim for the future?

(Kim Junsu) In Europe, it’s K-pop, and we are hallyu (representatives) here. In Japan we always hoped to work hard as J-pop artists, and the starting steps we took are different to that of the steps taken currently by Korean artists entering Japan. When we were rookies in Japan, we stood on a staircase, or on makeshift stages, holding corded microphones while singing and dancing, and these were the ways that we performed. Because of this, I think that our starting steps in Europe differ from that of Japan. Although the process is important, the results produced are important as well. Therefore, we hope that someday, we will have the chance to hold a concert in a venue with 10,000 seats or more. With this kind of thinking, I believe that to do this, we should focus on what our European fans want from us.

 

– We heard that you took the No. 1 spot on a Peruvian radio (Recently, JYJ took the no. 1 spot on the Peruvian program “Teen Top”)

(Kim Jaejoong) We heard about that, and for people to be able to listen to our music, and like our music, is something that makes us feel really good, and we are really thankful. For those countries that we have not yet been to, we hope that one day, we will be able to go to there and sing. Before this concert in Spain, we attended a global manga event, and I think it was a good opportunity for us to perform on a celebratory stage and sing our songs for a larger audience.

– The worldwide album was released in Spain as well, do you have plans for a second worldwide album?

(Kim Jaejoong) We’re in the middle of discussions about this. The worldwide album that was released last year received a great response, so we’re currently planning for a second album. There are still many countries that K-pop artists have yet to reach, and we want them to be able to listen to our music. However, due to time constraints, this has not been easy. We’ve been on a world tour and each of us has participated in individual activities. I often feel that there really isn’t enough time, and I often think, “How good would it be if there were 24 months in a year.”

– Compared to the concerts in America, will this Spanish concert be any different?

(Kim Junsu) There isn’t much change in the set list, but the dance and various elements have been tweaked with acrobatics.  The reason why we didn’t make any special changes to the concert set list was due to the fact that the Spanish and European fans are seeing us for the first time, so there is no need for too much of a change. It’s going to be a concert that shows the unique colors of JYJ.

“Intensive Choreography And Live Singing Performances, These Are The Key Elements Of K-Pop.”

– What do you think are the key reasons why K-Pop has been able to enter Europe and become popular?

(Kim Jaejoong) I heard that it was in 2006 that K-pop made its way into Europe, and that was around the time that we were active as TVXQ, and synchronized group dances were all the rage in Korea. The charm of Korean artists being able to do intensive dance performances while singing live probably attracted fans from then on, and this has slowly become its popularity today.

 

– When producing the Worldwide album, you worked with Kanye West and Rodney Jerkins and others. Have you considered working with music producers from Europe?

(Kim  Jaejoong) I’ve heard and studied a lot of European music, and I really like it. When doing activities in Japan, about 50% or more of our songs were European style music. We would buy European music and sing it at times so it’s quite familiar to us. If we’re lucky enough to get to know some European producers, we would definitely want to try it out. Although there isn’t much time for this during our concerts in Europe, we would definitely want to try it out in the future.

– You’ve done activities in Asia, America and Europe, and your music is known in counties that even Korean singers don’t know much about. And yet, it’s so hard to see you perform in Korea.

(Park Yoochun) Honestly speaking, being able to appear on programs is not something we think about anymore. I just wish for the system to be more fair. We know that we can’t do anything about the fact that we are excluded from ranking charts, but I would like for the objective value of album sales and the love we receive from the public to be recognized, to repay our fans for their love.

– After the concerts in Spain and Germany, what are your plans for the future?

(Kim Jaejoong) We hope to go more places, in Europe, aside from Spain and Germany. If we have other plans, we hope that we can go to other European countries, other cities and if we have time in the future, we hope to come back to Spain and Germany to hold (events) and thank the fans. In December, we’ll be having a rest period, but it would be a waste of time to just relax and take a break, so I think we’ll be working on some music and preparing for January, 2012.

Translation 111030 Camping Overnight To See JYJ’s Concert In Spain! Evidence Of Korean Wave Popularity, Even In Europe

[TRANS] 111030 Camping Overnight To See JYJ’s Concert In Spain! Evidence Of Korean Wave Popularity, Even In Europe

For the sake of watching JYJ’s concert in Spain, local fans showed their indomitable spirit as they camped overnight, gaining much attention. On 29 October, JYJ held their first concert in Barcelona. It was surprising to see that it wasn’t just Spanish fans, but fans from all over Europe that flew in and started queuing overnight from 28 October in front of the ticketing center.

The European fans said that it was because “we don’t know when we will next be able to see JYJ in concert,”  and therefore waited on the streets for 28 hours. Some of the fans who were not able to withstand the cold brought tents along. Other fans who wanted to give Junsu a present for his upcoming birthday prepared a special football jersey, and took a photograph of it as proof. This passionate atmosphere was communicated to the rest of the world via JYJ fan pages as well as twitter.

Fans said, “It’s great. We didn’t know that the Korean wave was this popular,” “We’re really proud,” and other supportive messages.

Translation 111029 Kim Junsu Has Firm Grip On Role of ‘Death’ in “Elisabeth

[TRANS] 111029 Kim Junsu Has Firm Grip On Role Of “Death” In “Elisabeth,” Exuding The Charm Of His Twenties

Kim Junsu has been cast in the musical “Elisabeth,” and is set to once again create a sell-out legend.

Starting February next year, Kim Junsu will be appearing in the musical “Elisabeth,” playing the role of death,  bewitching the audience with his irresistible, mysterious charm.

This character “Death,” will fatefully fall in love with Elisabeth, who desires freedom. “Death” tells Elisabeth, who is restrained and confined by the monarchy that he is the only one who can give her freedom, and stays by her side throughout her entire life, tempting her with death. For this performance, Kim Junsu will be playing the role of “Death” together with Ryu Jung Han and Song Chang Eui.

In October 2010 during the “Kim Junsu Musical Concert – Levay and Friends,” Kim Junsu had already performed part of “Death’s” song from “Elisabeth” and received great praise.

Because of this, from the start of production process for “Elisabeth,” the opinion of “Shouldn’t Kim Junsu should play this role (of “Death”)” had been a dominant one. After his performances in “Mozart!” and “Tears of Heaven,” and standing tall in the musical world as a musical actor, there is much anticipation over what kind of storm Kim Junsu will once again create.

A point to note is that this character (of “Death”) transcends gender and time, a fantasy role, and it’s previous overseas performances have seen past actors from their twenties to their fifties, a huge age range. Therefore, one of the key points to enjoy in this musical is how Kim Junsu, who is in his twenties, Song Chang Eui who is in his thirties, and Ryu Jung Han, who is in his forties, three actors in three different age groups each exude a different kind of charm.

Images of these actors displaying varying styles have been also been revealed. We are looking forward to how “Death”, who transcends life and death and disregards the existence of gender, incites subtle feelings in an eclipse-like fantasy setting in a charismatic and lively stage.

Celebrating its 20th year since its first performance in Vienna, the musical “Elisabeth” will be playing from 9 February to 13 May next year at the Blue Square Samsung Electronics Theater.
