Junho, you are a grown man with the right to make your own decisions just as your brother is. As long as the two of you understand each other and your relationship continues in love–there is nothing to be said. Your family is loved. Do not fret. Momma Cha
Translation: 110428 Kim Junho Tweets About His Decision To Work With Avex Despite Its Relationship With His Brother
An article regarding the Japanese company I’ll be working with has finally been published. I think there will be lot of people who worry and have unkind things to say about the decision. I had been talking to this agency even before the guys’ problem arose, and I finally made the decision to pursue the venture, seven months since the happening began, after thinking about it and discussing it with my family and those around me.
We’ve settled it so that there is a minimum chance of the situation becoming a problem, so please don’t worry about it too much. I, too, thought long and hard before laying down this decision. Though you may say that it was the wrong decision to make, it has been made and I must take full responsibility of what is to come. I just hope you do not hurt my family. I will just work hard. I’m sorry and I thank you all.

Translation: 110415 JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong Says, “I Learned Of Taking Things Slow And The Power Of Time”
It is sometimes cruel to be placed at crossroads and told to choose. For we will gain things but also lose things. It is not an easy task to state and differentiate between the pros and cons of choices because there is no standard to compare your choice with and because the tables may turn in an instant.
JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong, who recently stood at one of the most important crossroads in his life, didn’t say much at first and gave a relaxed smile for a while. He finally opened his mouth to speak when we asked him, ‘Are you content with your life right now?’. His answer was short and precise. “I’ve finally realized just how good it feels to be free.” But it took him over a year to find his balance once more; now, he remains unshaken even when his surroundings suddenly shift. It is because he has learned to accept reality and feel joy in the smallest things.
“I don’t feel uncomfortable talking about my past. That’s why I’m able to write ‘JYJ from 東方神起’ in my Twitter profile and it’s also why my phone’s start-up screen is a picture of TVXQ.”
Kim Jaejoong was confident about one thing, that “We will all be together one day.” Regarding the uncertain future, he believes that, “Time will heal all.” A year ago, he was so confused about his life that he had to take it one day at a time. He couldn’t make himself believe that he would be able to enjoy every day of his life or that he would be able to try anything he wanted to. He was able to feel a great sense of accomplishment from being the director of JYJ’s World Tour, which began in Thailand on the 2nd and 3rd of this month. He has now begun to dream a new dream.
“I want to try acting in a drama or a musical.” Kim Jaejoong’s new dream is to act and that is one thing that his fans are dying to hear news about. The project that C-JeS Entertainment has been preparing for a long time is Kim Jaejoong’s debut into the Korean drama industry. His name has been mentioned many times during the casting of dramas such as Goddess of War, Athena, and HanBanDo.
“Our management company suggested several big projects to me. They would place the documents in front of me and say ‘Kim Jaejoong, we’ve prepared this just for you.’ Some were really good and some were too much for me to handle. My eagerness is growing as I approach my dream, step by step. I believe there will come a day when all the things I’ve been preparing will come to life.”
Kim Jaejoong’s dream has already almost come true. He appeared in the drama
“I was planning on appearing in a Korean drama pretty soon, but I felt like I needed more time. But I’m not going to rush into it. I’m waiting for the right time to make my entrance.”
He is trying to not rush into things these days. Though all the dramas that were suggested to him were large-scale productions, he just wants to act in a drama that fits him well, regardless of its scale. He knows so well that appearing in a large-scale drama or taking on an extravagant role isn’t what it takes to repay his fans for waiting so long without disappointing them. He believes that even if he receives a small role, he must become immersed in his character and give an amazing performance. He said, “I’m undecided because I’ve received so many offers.”
Exactly one week after the interview was held, Kim Jaejoong uploaded a photo onto his personal Twitter account. It was a picture of his fellow members Kim Junsu and Park Yoochun joking around and grabbing each other by the collar, as if they were fighting. He uploaded the photo with a couple of captions, “How happy I am!” and “They get along so well that it’s becoming a problem!” The words he had said during his interview popped into my head as I saw his tweets.
“I wonder if there was ever a time when I laughed as much and as comfortably as I do now. Everytime I see Junsu and Yoochun and think that it’s only the three of us, my heart jolts. I often feel happy that we are together and that we are making things happen with what we’ve got. I’m glad that fans are beginning to realize this though they were worried at first. Though we know what their worries are, I just want them to watch over us. We’ve held on so far. I always have and always will believe in the power of time.“

NEWS: Kim Junsu is (once again) filling in the leading role of the musical ‘Mozart!’ Encore Performances!
There are a total of four actors who will play Mozart, and they are Lim Tae Kyung, Park Eun Tae, Kim Junsu and Jeon Dong Seok.
Kim Junsu’s appearance in the production became a hot topic of debate amongst fans and representatives of the musical industry when it was announced that the musical would be having encore performances in 2011.
Kim Junsu debuted as a musical actor through the musical ‘Mozart!’ last January and was able to make a successful debut by sweeping up all Best Newcomer awards and Ticket Power awards in various musical awards ceremonies such as The Musical Awards, the Korean Musical Awards and the Interpark Golden Ticket Awards.
Afterwards, he stood on stage with world-renowned musical actor Brad Little in a new musical, working with Frank Wildhorn, the composer of ‘Monte Christo’ and ‘Jekyll and Hyde’.
Kim Junsu stated, “Because ‘Mozart!’ was the first production since my debut that I participated in as Kim Junsu, I have a lot of affection for it and there is a feeling of longing that I have because it was my first musical. But then I heard that most of the original cast of ‘Mozart!’ were getting together for an encore performance, and I knew that I had to stand on stage with them as Mozart again.”
Kim Junsu, who is currently participating in a variety of activities with his fellow band-mates Park Yoochun and Kim Jaejoong, recently finished the first leg of JYJ’s World Tour in Thailand with success. Though many were initially skeptical of his appearance in the musical due to his busy schedule as a singer, Kim Junsu’s agency and the production company were able to come to a compromise and set an appropriate schedule as Kim Junsu himself had a strong desire to return to the musical.
CEO Eom Hong Hyun of EMK Musical Company stated, “We are extremely happy to be able to work with Kim Junsu again. Because he is an actor who was able to incorporate his own style into Mozart’s rebellious and free-spirited character, we are excited to see how much he has grown in the past year, and because he’s an artiste who is still young and full of potential, we hope he continues to try out various genres of music so that he can continue to be a leading example to other singers.“
Yoo Hui Sung, who has returned as the director for the musical, stated, “I’m highly anticipating working with Kim Junsu again and we will work hard to show the audience a great performance.”
The musical ‘Mozart!’ reinterprets the dynamic life of the musical genius Mozart with a variety of musical genres such as rock and jazz. With over 500 extravagant costumes and wigs, it is considered to be Europe’s greatest musical, enrapturing tens of millions of audience members with its content and visual intricacy.
It was first performed in Korea in 2010 at the Sejong Arts Center and broke records by bringing in over 100,000 audience members in just one month. The musical then proceeded to collect a total of 11 trophies in various musical awards ceremonies in 2010.
The encore performances of the musical ‘Mozart!’ will be held from May 24th to July 3rd at the Seongnam Arts Center and the cast will include actors from the original cast such as Lim Tae Kyung, Park Eun Tae, Seo Bum Seok, Min Young Gi, Lee Kyung Mi, Shin Youn Suk and Jung Seon Ah as well as some new faces such as Jeon Dong Seok, Lim Gang Hee, Jung Young Joo, Yoon Seung Wook and Enok.

Junsu, If I thought that I could get them to you–barbeque sandwiches, coconut, and let’s not forget fried chicken. Your food tastes are like Southern America. Any Chunnie influence there?
Jaejoong. Fine job as Mr. Kim the Director, and Yoochun, you are the benevolent instigator. As a Virginia-born woman, I’d send you crab. I hope you all get your house in Thailand. Love to you all. Momma Cha

Translation: 110414 JYJ’s Junsu, The Arrival Of The New Prince Of Musicals
“The only place that took me in when no one else would was the musical industry. It gave me the opportunity to perform for the first time in a musical during troubled times.”
JYJ’s Kim Junsu(24) is the symbol of ‘musicaldols’ (musical+idols). He stands in the midst of the musical industry breaking through its slump by bringing out the idol card.
Last January, when he and fellow JYJ members Kim Jaejoong(25) and Park Yoochun(25) were a hot topic in the media and the public for their exclusive contract dispute against TVXQ’s agency SM Entertainment, Junsu transformed into a musical actor through ‘Mozart!’(EMK Musical Company), the musical that reinterpreted the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756~1791). And in an instant, he became a blue chip in the musical industry.
“Musicals gave me a great amount of courage. hahaha.” Last year, Junsu shied away from the media, even when he was appearing in the musical. In Q&A sessions, he did not allow any ‘personal’ questions and only answered questions that dealt with his musical.
But Junsu has gotten much brighter since the end of his second musical ‘Tears of Heaven’(Seol&Company) last month. TVXQ’s Xiah Junsu became JYJ’s Junsu, who in turn became a stronger and more confident Kim Junsu, the musical actor. On the 2nd and 3rd of this month, Junsu even boasted his power as a singer when JYJ’s World Tour leg in Bangkok, Thailand was sold out.
Junsu looked back on the past year and said, “Musicals were the only things that allowed me to perform during troubled times,” and “When I first started out, I told myself that I could be lacking, but I couldn’t make a fool out of the musical or myself.”
Last year, Junsu was able to sell out all fifteen of his ‘Mozart!’ performances in a mere three hours. Through this musical, he received the Best Male Newcomer Award at ‘The 4th Musical Awards’ and ‘The 16th Korean Musical Awards’.
“I heard that Mozart is the only musician who was given the title of ‘genius’ in the history of music,” and “He was a person who was lacking in no way possible, but he himself saw himself as a unfortunate soul.” He also added, “Though I’m not a genius, Mozart’s situation seemed to match so well with mine that I could relate to him.“
Receiving two Best Newcomer Awards, Kim Junsu said, “The gratitude and joy I felt when I received those awards is indescribable in words,” and “They gave me strength and urged me to appear in another production.”
In ‘Tears of Heaven’, Junsu was able to work alongside world renowned musical actor Brad Little(47), who is famous for his roles in ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ and ‘The Phantom of the Opera’. For this musical, Kim Junsu set yet another record by selling out 17 performances of 27,500 seats in 10 minutes.
“There was a lot of pressure on my shoulder because I was set to appear in a brand new musical, although I was just a rookie,” and “There was a lot of pressure on me and my fellow actors because we were creating the basis and foundation of the musical.” However, his eyes shone as he said, “I was really thankful to ‘Tears of Heaven’ because I was able to learn so much from it,” and “It was a great honor to have been given the opportunity to perform with an actor like Brad Little.”
The recently released ‘Kim Junsu Musical Concert – Levay With Friends’ DVD sold over 40,000 copies in its first two weeks. Though he is a newcomer to the musical industry with just two productions under his belt, he is already being compared to the musical industry’s top star Jo Seung Woo(31). According to a survey done by Interpark last year, Kim Junsu came out on top as the star with the greatest ticket power in the musical industry, even beating Jo Seung Woo and his return to the industry with the musical ‘Jekyll and Hyde’.
Regarding the comparisons drawn between him and Jo Seung Woo, Junsu scratched his head and said, “It’s a great honor but also a great amount of pressure.” He took a humble approach and said, “It doesn’t make sense for Senior Jo Seung Woo to be compared to a rookie like me,” and “I see Senior Jo Seung Woo as my role model but we keep getting compared, so I sometimes wonder what his fans think about me… I feel the need to be careful when talking about the situation.”
Junsu’s vocal talents were recognized since his ‘TVXQ’ days. Recently, ten vocal trainers were asked to rank idol groups and members based on their vocal skills and Junsu came out on top. Regarding this, Junsu said, “I need to work harder to become a person who is deserving of that number one spot.” He also said, “I feel like I am stil lacking in so many ways,” and “I try to sing with as much sincerity as possible.”
‘Mozart!’ was composed by Grammy Award winning Sylvester Levay(66) while ‘Tears of Heaven’ was composed by Frank Wildhorn(52). Junsu smiled as he said, “It was a great honor to be able to work with two of the best composers in the world,” and “I tend to be drawn towards musicals with great songs.”
However, Junsu was also swept up in controversies surrounding idols and their high paychecks when it was found that he was being paid 35 million Won for each ‘Mozart!’ performance. He said, “I am thankful that people think of me so highly regardless of the fact that I’ve only been in two productions,” and “I believe it is my job to showcase a performance that is worthy of the production without being a burden on it.”
Junsu is currently a senior at Myeongji University with a musical major and his passion for musicals seems unbeatable. He has watched all the recent musicals such as ‘Jekyll and Hyde’, ‘GwangHwaMun Sonata’ and ‘AIDA’. He even said, ” I want to give back to the musical industry as much as I’ve been loved by people for my roles in musicals,” and “If I was asked to be a spokesperson for musicals, I would accept the position without hesitation.”
He was also able to fully experience the troubles the people in the musical industry currently face. “Mr. Levay said that Korean musical actors are so talented that they would be able to succeed wherever they went. But he also said that in Korea, they weren’t getting the treatment that they deserved.”
“As Kim Junsu the musical actor, nothing would make me happier than to see the musical industry grow and evolve due to an increased interest in musicals because of me.”
Other than ‘Mozart!’, a countless number of musical production companies are dying to have Junsu appear in their shows.

[News] Kim Junsu, Thunderbolt Shot… Made the Winning Goal!
Two-Top with Kim Hyunjoong, Made Crucial Plays All Over the Field
(Gave) FC MEN Its First Win… Seized the MVP Award
Male group JYJ’s Kim Junsu showed off abilities in soccer that does not fall behind his abilities in singing. He exploded the winning shot (into the net) in the first game of Peace Star Cup.
In the 2011 Peace Star Cup Entertainers Soccer Tournament that was held in the Suwon World Cup Secondary Stadium of Kyungkido, the idol soccer team FC MEN collected its first win against Super Stars through Captain Kim Junsu’s winning goal, 1-0. FC Men, which has newly formed this year, has especially gathered attention because a host of idol stars are participating as members. The stadium of that day was packed with about 1500 Korean Wave fans which included those who came from abroad such as Japan and Taiwan and made one feel through his skin the popularity of the stars.
In the game, FC MEN put up Kim Junsu and Kim Hyunjoong as two-top. In particular, Kim Junsu used his great speed to aggressively weave (through the other players) and created many crucial chances. The male group B2ST’s Lee Kikwang, who was in charge of distributing the ball as a mid fielder, and Yoon Doojoon, also stood out in their soccer skills. In particular, Yoon Doojoon pulled off very high-level techniques freely such as “placing the wrong leg” and “cruip turn,” no worse than a professional player. (T/N: The original words for these soccer tricks are 헛다리짚기 and 크루이프턴—the are jargons, I apologize.)
