[NEWS] JYJ Gearing Up for Japan Dome Tour Beginning in November, Preparing Japanese Single Album Release

It has been announced that JYJ is currently making preparations to kick off their comeback in Japan with a brand new concert tour.

On October 17, C-JeS Entertainment shared, “This coming November and December, JYJ will be greeting their fans in Japan with the 2014 ‘JYJ Japan Dome Tour – Ichigo Ichie,’ which will open in Tokyo, Osaka, and other major cities. They are also preparing the release of a new Japanese single album.”

Through this ‘Ichigo Ichie’—or “once-in-a-lifetime meeting”—tour, the members are planning to carry out live stages with impressive performances, as well as show off their more mature and improved abilities and individual charms as artists.

This announcement is gaining even more interest especially because of the news that JYJ is gearing up to release their very first Japanese single album.

Following the 2010 ‘Thanksgiving Live in Dome’ and the 2013 ‘The Return of The JYJ’ dome concerts, this upcoming tour will be the group’s third time. This particular tour is meaningful to the members, as it will mark their official comeback in Japan, making it known that they will begin active promotions in the country.

The C-JeS Entertainment rep also revealed that fans in Japan continuously requested a dome tour as soon as the news of JYJ’s Asia tour was announced.

Meanwhile, JYJ is earning much attention from Japanese fans and local media ever since the reports of the tour and single album, and the members are busy getting ready to kick off another dome tour.

[INFO] FINECUT to introduce ‘Sea Fog’ at European Film Market (EFM) 2014 in Berlin

Note: FINECUT is a film company based in Seoul, Korea, specializing in international sales, marketing, production, financing and acquisition.
‘Sea Fog’ will be introduced at EFM 2014 (6~14 February) in Berlin as an upcoming release.

seafogfinecut

Synopsis
Based on true events, the story is about a large 69-ton fishing boat’s crew as they attempt to smuggle in illegal migrants in order to keep their fishing jobs. But their plan goes wrong when they meet a tragic accident while transporting the thirty or so illegal migrants on the ship amid a heavy sea fog. And amid the chaos, the youngest crew Dong-sik tries to protect a young female migrant who he falls in love with against the crazed Captain Kang and other crew members.

Director’s Comment
Based on a true event that took place in Yeosu, 2001, HAEMOO is a combination genre film that fuses crime thriller and melodrama. Ordinary fishermen face moments of hell as they take on the role of smuggling illegal Korean-Chinese migrants. Stuck in thick sea fog, I wanted to portray the innocence and personal sacrificial love that rise from clashing of this generation’s pain, human desire, human desire and morality in a moment of grave adversity.

[News] 140725 TV Commercial for JYJ Goes On Air

JYJ became the first K-pop band to advertise themselves through a TV commercial.

The commercial to promote JYJ was first broadcast on July 21 right after the closing of MBC’s 23-episode action drama “Triangle,” starring group member Jaejoong.

The TV commercial brings JYJ’s three members — Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu — into the spotlight, with the catch phrases “One for all” and “All for one.”

“We invested 1 billion won into this three-week TV commercial campaign to raise JYJ’s brand power,” their agency C-Jes Entertainment said Wednesday.

The ad air on major TV networks and cable channels until Aug. 8.

The group’s long-awaited comeback is imminent, with their second studio album “Just Us” and the music video for the title track “Back Seat” to be released on July 29.

Following the album’s release, JYJ will hold the third “JYJ Membership Week” expo in Seoul from July 31 through Aug. 3 for their fan clubs. The event has been held annually in the capital for free since 2012, drawing more than 20,000 fans each year from home and abroad.

The band has also scheduled its Asia concert tour “The Return of the King,” with the first concert to kick off on Aug. 9 in Seoul. The idols are set to visit eight cities across Asia including Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai.

[TRANS] 140701 “External Influence Suspected” vs “It’s Not A Political Issue” … The IAG-JYJ Controversy

jyjiag

JYJ, who have been active as the honorary ambassadors of the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, may not be able to appear in the opening and closing ceremonies of the event. Although they have actively promoted the games for the past year and a half, it seems as though their names have been scratched off the invitation list.

From this arose the ‘external influence controversy’ that JYJ (Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu)’s status as former members of TVXQ has blocked them from attending the opening and closing ceremonies. TVXQ went to court in 2009 because of a contract problem with SM Entertainment.

With news that SM Entertainment’s EXO will perform at the opening ceremony of the Incheon Asian Games in September, the controversy is gaining speed as being highly plausible.

Director Jang Jin, who is in charge of both the event and the ceremonies, spoke up about this during the press conference that was held on the 1st and said, “We have not made any announcements on JYJ’s participation in the opening and closing ceremonies because their appearance has not been confirmed yet. If Kim Junsu participates in the performance in the second act that involves musical stars, his act could overlap with JYJ’s, so we’re in the final stages of arbitration. It would be great to see them at the ceremony.” He continued to state, “JYJ have done so much for the events, acting as the honorary ambassadors for the past two years. There are a few details that need to be ironed out but it is definitely not a political issue.”

A representative of the IAG’s committee also revealed in a phone conversation with xportsnews that, “We’re currently signing contracts with the celebrities who will be appearing in the ceremony. JYJ’s appearance has not been confirmed yet. It will probably be confirmed in two or three weeks.”

jyjiag1

However, JYJ’s agency C-JeS Entertainment released an official statement on this day and pressured the committee by saying, “The IAG must follow through with the promise they made with us.”

C-JeS revealed parts of their contract as they stated, “In the process of discussing JYJ’s role as honorary ambassadors, the IAG’s committee promised, ‘In the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as press conferences with foreign press, JYJ will be given priority over others when Korean singers are needed.’ At the time, the head of the committee and those in charge of promotional activities promised that JYJ would be able to appear in the opening and closing ceremonies as the finale act.”

C-JeS ended with, “We hope that the Incheon Asian Games’ breach of contract is not a result of the illogical and unfair external influences that JYJ have faced in the past.”

JYJ’s Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu left TVXQ and SM Entertainment in 2009. When they began holding promotional activities as JYJ, their broadcasted activities were severely restricted. In July of 2013, the Fair Trade Commission ruled an issue correction order against SM Entertainment and the Korean Federation of Pop Culture and Art Industries for interfering with JYJ’s broadcasted activities. SM Entertainment is currently in charge of EXO and TVXQ.

Because of this, questions are being raised on whether external influences are in play for an event that is supposed to be an Asian celebration that brings 45 countries together.

While working as the honorary ambassadors of the Incheon Asian Games, JYJ have released the games’ official theme song ‘ONLY ONE’ and shot a music video. They also filmed a no-guarantee commercial and participated in promotional events, which included showcase events in Hanoi, Vietnam and Guangzhou, China last year.

News] 140430 Siwan reveals his first impressions of ‘Triangle’ co-star Jaejoong

jaejoongsiwanimpression

The press conference for MBC‘s ‘Triangle‘ took place on April 30 at the Imperial Palace Hotel in Seoul.  At the event, Siwan revealed his first impressions of co-star Jaejoong, who plays his older brother in the series.

Siwan said, “I first met Jaejoong during our casino practice.  I was really fascinated at the time.”  Jaejoong added, “I was very fascinated, too.  He was someone I saw on TV, so I was very intrigued.  I was very fascinated with Baek Jin Hee, too.  I thought to myself that they were all very handsome and pretty.

Siwan continued, “After meeting Jaejoong for the first time, we went out to eat and he ate mackerel for dinner.  I found that very awkward and different.  For some reason, I did not feel like Jaejoong would eat and even if he did, he would enjoy something like hamburgers or pizza.  It was really interesting.  I had an almost mystical fantasy regarding his image.  However, when I saw him eating mackerel, he seemed very much like a normal person and I liked it.”

Watch over their chemistry as their brotherly relations unfold starting on May 5!
