[NEWS] 120818 JYJ Fans Donate For Flood Victims In The Philippines

MANILA, Philippines – Being a fangirl is not just about supporting your idol; it’s also about helping people in times of need. This is what fans from different countries of Korean boy band JYJ aimed to show when they responded to a call to help victims of severe flooding in the Philippines, which left 109 people dead and affected 4.1 million people.
JYJ Philippines, the local fan club of boy band, launched and organized the “JYJ Reach: JYJ Philippines Flood Relief Charity Project” to help Filipinos.
“The project’s purpose is to help our brothers and sisters who were affected by the flood in the Philippines,” said JYJ Philippines.
The heavy rains in the Philippines started last August 6 brought about by the southwest monsoon or “habagat.”
As of August 16, the Philippines’ National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said 924,948 families in 36 cities in 17 provinces including the National Capital Region were affected by the flooding.
JYJ, composed of Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu, is one of the most popular Korean groups.
When JYJ Philippines called out for people to donate to the worthy project, fans from different countries responded.
As of August 17, the “JYJ Reach: JYJ Philippines Flood Relief Charity Project” has collected P55,198.58.
“The response of the fans to project is overwhelming. We didn’t expect that even the International fans would give their support. But then it’s not surprising anymore because JYJ Families around the world are always supportive of each other’s fan projects,” JYJ Philippines told Bulletin Entertainment.
The donations came from fans in the US, Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Canada, Turkey, Hong Kong and the Philippines.
“Honestly, we didn’t set any target as far as the total amount of donations is concerned. When we launched the project, we thought, any amount would do just as long as we’re able to help our brothers and sisters in need. The turnout really surprised us because in three days time we were able to collect more or less P27,000. And the tentative total we have now is PhP 55,000. So, it was beyond our expectation,” JYJ Philippines added.
In the first phase of JYJ Reach, JYJ Philippines brought ready-to-eat food and medicine. Last August 12, the admins of JYJ Philippines went to the Philippine Red Cross to donate the goods.
Next week, JYJ Philippines will donate to ABS-CBN Sagip Kapamilya and World Vision for the second phase of JYJ Reach.
“We are inspired by our idols Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu and we will continue to do charity projects in the future,” JYJ Philippines said.

News] 120820 JYJ’s Kim Jun Su’s Music Video Ranks First in China
JYJ’s Kim Jun Su recently ranked first in China with his first English solo video.
Kim released his English single “Uncommitted” on August 17 and ranked first on Yin Yue Tai, the biggest Chinese music video chart.
The music video for the song received over 3.28 million hits and ranked first as soon as it was released. The agency, C-JeS Entertainment, said, “It’s hard to access YouTube site in China so the Yin Yue Tai chart proves Kim’s popularity. He received such a result without promoting himself in China.”
It has been three months since he released his solo EP Tarantallegra in May. The EP, however, ranked seventh and proved its high popularity.
Kim’s first EP set a new record in sales as a solo on the Gaon chart and he proved his global popularity by ranking high in China, the United States, Germany, and Chile. The English single “Uncommitted” also ranked first on the Japanese iTunes chart.
Kim will start touring the world with a concert in New York on August 30. Then he will meet his nationwide fans in Asia, North and South Americas, and Europe.

JYJ‘s Yoochun commented on his relationship with ‘Rooftop Prince‘ costar Han Ji Min.
On the August 18th episode of KBS 2TV‘s ‘Entertainment Relay‘, the crew interviewed Han Ji Min on the set of an endorsement shoot. During the ‘Star on Air’ corner of the show, the 10-year-veteran actress was shown a video of responses from the actors who’ve played opposite her.

Or that I’m like a neighborhood nuna he’s known for 10 years?” The reporter then revealed, “Yoochun said, ‘[She’s the best in her field]. [She’s the best to get to know].

Nothing like a “few” DBSK/TVXQ/JYJ songs to help the mood. 🙂

Honestly speaking, I haven’t really heard any JYJ songs. I also had that preconceived idea that “they are just like the other idol singers.” However, from the moment that I watched JYJ in concert, I suddenly felt that “It’s such a pity that I’m the only one watching this concert.”
They wrote their own songs, and the concert was not particularly biased towards performing or singing. While balancing between the two elements, they delivered a well-finished performance with high standards, and this was a truly impressive fact that I saw on site. This is why I felt that it was a pity. I felt, disregarding the issue of influential connections, the inability of JYJ to meet with the audiences via broadcast programs is not a loss to JYJ, but a loss to the viewers.
And it’s precisely because of this that I couldn’t help but ask Kim Jaejoong during the interview, “It’s been a long time that you’ve been unable to appear on music shows. How do you feel as you watch other singers appearing (on programs)?”
Kim Jaejoong paused for a moment, then simply said, “Why would I not want to appear (on programs)?”
I asked him again, “Don’t you wish to appear on broadcasts?”
This time, Kim Jaejoong said, “I do” then started to explain in detail about how he felt.
“After speaking with other juniors, I realise that JYJ is a group with a very special sort of existence. To the juniors, we have become very unique seniors. It’s hard to see us on broadcast programs, so juniors find it fascinating when they happen to see us. When JYJ releases a new album or new songs, our juniors will download the music themselves, and make a special effort to listen to our songs.”
Kim Jaejoong expressed, although he himself is unable to appear on music programs, he has always paid attention to music from his juniors. “My manager is a big fan of Sistar, so I often hear their songs. Their music is good, and Sistar sings very well. In terms of male idols, I think the recent B2st song is pretty good. I watched their “Inkigayo” performance.”
In terms of songwriting, Kim Jaejoong has been hard at work. Although busy with drama filming, he still puts in a lot of effort to write songs, especially when playing the role of Kim Kyung Tak in the MBC weekend drama “Dr Jin.”
When asked if he was inspired by his drama role, he replied, “I wrote many sad songs, but I deleted them all. My role in the drama was too tragic, so I only managed to write very sad songs.”
Kim Jaejoong mentioned, “We are in the midst of preparation, aiming to release a new album in the early part of next year.”
I’ve thought about whether things would have changed for JYJ by then, and even after much thinking, I still feel that it is too much of a pity for me to enjoy a JYJ stage by myself.

This interview is split into 3 parts : the first portion will be about Kim Jaejoong’s acting, then the story of JYJ and Kim Jaejoong, and finally a honest confession of what it is like to be Kim Jaejoong.
The day which we met Kim Jaejoong was really warm, and we would start sweating after walking a few steps. Kim Jaejoong, who has completed the filming of Dr Jin has given up his topknot, and put on a sleeveless top, once again becoming a 26 year old youth. Firstly, he greeted me, saying “Hello, I am Kim Jaejoong.” Looking at how white his complexion is, I doubt he’s the type who could get a tan.
Dr Jin is Kim Jaejoong’s first period drama. He spoke about the fear, unfamiliarity and difficulties he faced in his first challenge. “Because this is the first time (I’m filming a period drama), so I was really nervous, and really scared. I was really, really scared. Before filming started, no one could be sure about how it would turn out, and I did not have the confidence to do it well, so it was very frightening. Thinking back about the things that I did not do well previously made it even worse.”
“It wasn’t an easy role. Kim Kyung Tak had been abandoned by his parents, his friends as well as his love.” Kim Jaejoong spoke, on his opinion about Kim Kyung Tak. “Most of the other characters were fiercely ambitious. Prince Heungseon had great desires, and the ambition of Kim Byung Hee were not little as well. However, to Kyung Tak, he was only focused on one thing – protecting every single person he cared about. He had absolutely no greed. People around him wanted a lot, but all Kyung Tak does is to keep protecting. Everyone else is focused on the empire, but Kyung Tak only looks at those he loves.”
Also, there was quite a bit of crying. “Initially, he gives off a very cold impression, but there are quite a few crying scenes as the story progresses, so filming was difficult. Crying scenes took a lot of effort, and they were really tiring. Although its acting, but being in a continuous state of heartbreak is makes it physically straining.”
There has been some criticism about Kim Kyung Tak’s voice being too loud and powerful, but perhaps it is the fear that he felt towards period dramas that made his voice sound unnatural.
“How am I supposed to handle a period drama role?” “How should I enunciate, how do I act, how do I speak? At the start I felt that since he is a general, he needed to give off an aura of power and leadership, and this was all I was thinking about. As an actor, and someone with absolutely no experience with period dramas, I felt that having a powerful voice would show leadership, but after watching myself act, I started understanding a lot more, and felt that there was more that I could do.”
As a singer-turned-actor, Kim Jaejoong has thrown away those “fixed opinions,” and he has started to realise the differences between the singing and acting stage. “I need to put myself aside, but I couldn’t put away those “fixed opinions”. Maybe it’s because I didn’t start off as an actor, so there are some parts of me that I am unwilling to let go of, and initially I felt that even while acting, there is a need to keep a handsome image. I did not realise that it is only when you manage to put yourself aside, do you become truly handsome. “
While acting in Protect the Boss, “I regretted not being able to put my own personality aside more, and this is probably a problem that all singer-turned-actors including myself, face. While on stage, we try our best to show of a cool side of our own personalities to satisfy the audience. But acting is not the same, and it is the thought process that really counts. But it is really difficult to put these old habits aside. It is easy to hide your flaws, but to give up on your strengths is really hard. However, the more you manage to put your image aside, the more you are able to get into character. In the future, I must put my own image aside more.
There are some that compliment Kim Jaejoong on his acting, and there have been seniors that said, “He cannot be praised.” Kim Jaejoong agrees with this. “To be, it’s better to get scolded. I have a strong desire to prove myself to those who have a lot to say about me because of my looks.”
To be able to take an objective point of view, and admit to your shortcomings is something that takes a lot of courage. Therefore, Kim Jaejoong’s courage has left a deep impression on me. Kim Jaejoong said, “How do I rate my own acting?” “I will be thankful as long as viewers feel that I have improved.”
Also, he talks about his small ambitions with regards to being an actor. “I don’t have to play the main role, but I would like to act in a broader range of roles. It doesn’t matter even if it isn’t the main role. And I also want to try acting in plays. I’ve only done singing and dancing in front of an audience, so I would like to attempt acting as well. “
