[Interview] 130124 JYJ′s Kim Jae Joong is Sad About JYJ′s Inability to Appear on TV

Although its legal proceedings with SM Entertainment have come to a conclusion, JYJ is still unable to appear on TV as singers.

As such, JYJ member Kim Jae Joong recently came to voice his sorrow at being unable to perform on TV.

In a recent interview with enews, Kim Jae Joong said, “It′s not just our problem, but we′re really sorry.”

Kim Jae Joong, Park Yoo Chun and Kim Junsu, who were members of TVXQ (DBSK) at the time, demanded their contract with SM Entertainment be cancelled, filing a lawsuit against the agency in 2009. Their opinion was that their 13-year contract with SM was too long, and that the division of profits were set at the agency′s advantage.

As the court acknowledged that it “approves individual promotions,” the members have continued to promote through dramas, albums and concert tours inside and outside Korea. The group, however, hasn′t been able to appear on music or variety shows. The three main channels defended their avoidance of the group with the assertion that its appearance could have an affect on the court decisions.

The long battle came to an end in December with an agreement between SM and JYJ, but the main channels are still treading carefully around the issue of the group′s televised appearances.

Kim Jae Joong said about the lack of televised promotions, “People around me tell me ′you′re doing great even without television′ or ask ′aren′t you doing okay without it?′ but that′s how it looks when you see things from JYJ′s point of view. Celebrities need to approach their fans through the media, but for us, it′s the fans who have been seeking us and our music.”

He added, “Elementary school students these days don′t know us. Though they do know us, they know us as actors, so that′s saddening. We′ve spent almost four years this way, and we want to repay our fans who have been coming in to visit us.”

In the meantime, Kim Jae Joong released his first solo mini album Mine on January 17. The title song has been received as a revival of traditional rock.

[TRANS] 120516 JYJ’s Kim Junsu, “Difficulties With Broadcast Activities? Times Have Changed”

JYJ’s Junsu, who released his solo album, spoke honestly about his feelings towards being unable to appear on broadcast activities.

On the early afternoon of 16 May, Kim Junsu held his first solo album “Xia Tarantallegra” release press conference at the Seoul Lotte Hotel, and said, “‘Being unable to do broadcasting activities could be a minus point, but nowadays the situation is different from before,” he said honestly.

JYJ are in a situation where, aside from appearing in concerts, dramas and musicals, they are unable to do broadcast activities such as music shows and variety shows.

To this, Junsu sais , “If you release an album, you have to attend the basic broadcasting activities, but these activities cannot be done at all. Even while creating this album it was already assumed that “broadcasting activities cannot be done” but as the album still had to be released, it was a helpless situation.” “Therefore, we had to prove ourselves even more with the quality of the album, and the music video. Although it is just one album and music video, we had to show something even better” he emphasized.

Also, “It is not a good thing to not be doing broadcast activities. If you talk about negative factors, it is a minus point. But times have changed recently. Via youtube and various internet sites, everything you are interested in can be seen. If you have watched my music video, I think that to a certain extent, it is more expensive that most Korean music videos. If you look at Korea, in the situation where you cannot attend broadcast programs, it would be impossible to create such a music video.”

Following that, he said, “Although I cannot attend broadcast programs, I think that I hold on to my freedom of expression. I can show more variety of color,” emphasizing on the positive aspects.

[TRANS] 120210 Park Yoochun’s Representative: “(He Is) Not The Idol Who Was Blackmailed”

JYJ’s Park Yoochun, who was identified by netizens as being the one involved in the humiliating scandal on idol singer A who was blackmailed by his ex-girlfriend, has released a statement.

JYJ’s representatives expressed on 10 February, that “We have confirmed with (Yoochun) personally, and Park Yoochun is not involved in this incident in any way. The speculations being spread by some people are unfounded and have no grounds.”

The representative also added, “To be honest, we are also at a loss. It seems rather ridiculous for us, who are not involved in this incident in any way, to be releasing an official statement, so it is a difficult situation. But even watching from the sidelines, we feel it is a worrisome situation.”

Prior to this, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office, Criminal Investigations Unit 1 (Senior Prosecutor Baek Bang Jun) charged B, who blackmailed A by threatening to release nude photographs of him. B, who is A’s ex-girlfriend, blackmailed him for 1 billion Korean won last October, threatening to release the nude photographs if A did not do so.

The problem is that there are speculations spreading quickly online, such as the belief that B has other videos other than the said nude photographs. However, the prosecutor’s office only seized the photographs from B, and have never released any statements indicating the existence of such videos.

Even so, after the news spread, Park Yoochun’s name rose to the top in the real-time search rankings on major portal sites and social networking sites, attracting widespread attention. Some even took it as an established fact that Park Yoochun was the one involved in this incident. It is worrying how much harm is being caused time and again.
