[News] 121124 JYJ’s Jaejoong Speaks Of His Experience Filming ‘Code Name Jackal’

Through his roles in dramas such as ‘Protect the Boss‘ and ‘Time Slip Dr. Jin‘, JYJ‘s Jaejoong has proven his competence as a formidable actor. However, he recently revealed in an interview that he wanted to try something different after his more serious roles.

This urge led him to consider ‘Code Name Jackal’ (directed by Bae Hyung Joon), where he would be able to play a more comedic character. “I always want to show something new about myself,” he confessed. “With ‘Code Name Jackal’, I wanted to do that. I’ve always played serious, heavy roles, so I wanted to spread the word that there are other sides of me, too.”

“Through my character [in ‘Code Name Jackal’], I wanted to play a more trickster, sarcastic role,” he revealed. “A lot of my personal self is melted into my ‘Jackal’ character.”

Although the film itself is not doing as well as he had hoped – against big names such as ‘Wolf Boy‘ and overseas releases – Jaejoong considered the experience to be worth it. “Personally, the mere fact that I did a film was a great chance and opportunity. Of course we must consider the success of the film, but I feel that the movie was a way for me to show myself. It was a wonderful chance and I gained many things as well. I think that acting for this film gave me strength in life, as well as giving me motivation for music.”

While filming, Jaejoong experienced the true craziness and rush of a film set. “We really filmed like crazy,” he said. “I often dozed in the middle of shooting. If I ate, I would’ve given up on sleep; if I slept, I would’ve given up on eating. In order to combine the two, I ate vitamin supplements.”

Despite his grueling and hectic schedule as an actor and artist, Jaejoong sometimes thinks about a normal life. When asked what he would like to do if he had the chance to be an ordinary citizen, he answered, “Firstly, I want to go to a bustling roadside stand. I’d eat tasty food and have a drink, then get over my hangover the day after. Then I’d go shopping and sightseeing. It’s been 8 years since I’ve visited Dongdaemun [a landmark in Seoul]. I also want to go to the amusement park and go on all the rides I want. I’ve visited a few times due to filming, but I’ve never been on anything.”

However, Jaejoong also recognized the benefits of his celebrity status, especially pointing out his fans that had supported him since his debut. “I’ve had many incidents and fallen on hard times, and every time I’m grateful to my fans,” he said. “Because I was with you, I was able to get over my suffering and pain.”

One particular encounter with a fan is emblazoned into his memory, Jaejoong recounted. “I once told a fan to study hard prior to the exam, and she ended up placing first. There’s also a fan who got into Waseda University in Japan. It was a moment where I realized the importance of my relationship with my fans.”

“For those of you who have yet to watch ‘Code Name Jackal’, I hope you’ll go into it with an easy mindset and ready to laugh. There are a lot of positive traits hidden in our movie. The more you see it, the more film-like it becomes. Thanks for your interest.” he finished.

[News] 121115 JYJ Jaejoong and Super Junior Siwon Are True Actors

JYJ member Kim Jaejoong and Super Junior member Choi Siwon have both left their ‘K-Pop idol’ titles behind and transformed into true actors.

 

JYJ Jaejoong and Super Junior Siwon Are True Actors

 

JYJ member Kim Jaejoong and Super Junior member Choi Siwon have both left their ‘K-Pop idol’ titles behind and transformed into true actors.

 

Kim Jaejoong makes his film debut with “Jackal is Coming” also known as “Code Name: Jackal” where he appears as a top star next to a female killer. He exceeded expectations by acting in a comedy and breaking through his charismatic and mysterious image.

 

In order to live, he will tell the killer played by Song Ji Hyo that he’s not the real star and will show off incredible amounts of slapstick comedy for an idol star. He will try to make himself look fatter and style his hair in the strangest ways in order to make her and the viewer’s laugh.

 

Choi Siwon is going much the same route. He plays a complete moron of a star in SBS’ Mon/Tues drama “The King of Dramas.”

 

His first appearance was impressive from the start. He’s loved by the public for his amazing good looks and his dramatic eyes but in real life, he’s all about the money and completely self-absorbed. He is addicted to video games and in truth he’s much more human than people thought.

 

Choi Siwon has previously been in more serious dramas so people are really enjoying this new transformation and is getting positive reviews from the public.

[NEWS] 120914 “Not Possible” In Domestic, “Welcome” Abroad – JYJ’s Paradox

[NEWS] 120914 “Not Possible” In Domestic, “Welcome” Abroad – JYJ’s Paradox

The trio group JYJ (Jaejoong Kim, Yuchun Park, Junsu Kim) is unique. It is difficult to see the group in the country, but the group is doing remarkable activities abroad. The team toured in Spain, Germany, Chile and Peru and the member Junsu Kim had his solo concert in Mexico – all as the first Korean singers who ever had concerts in each country. Why is the atmosphere from inside and outside is so different? You may see an equation of Korean Pop industry’s power structure.

? Aftermath of TVXQ Controversy?

 

[Junsu Kim who had solo concert in Mexico on Sep 6]

The three members of JYJ had their debut in the year of 2004 as the quintet TVXQ under SM Entertainment. TVXQ shortly stood at the top in Korean pop industry and had 100,000 members in its fan-club. In 2009, the three members moved to the present agency and formed JYJ after ‘application for injunction to terminate the validity of exclusive contract’ against SM, claiming that 13-year of exclusive contract was too long. The lawsuit with SM is still ongoing.

After this, they have had difficulties in album distribution, venue rental, TV appearances and other things. With tremendous number of album sales and popularity, the public has not seen them in any of music/entertainment programmes for the last 3 years at all.

For example, Yuchun Park appeared in ‘SKK Scandal(KBS)’ and ‘Rooftop Prince(SBS)’ as a leading role, but no one could see his face in entertainment programmes of the both broadcasters despite the fact that actors appearing in the same broadcaster’s entertainment programmes during their drama is an unwritten rule in order to promote dramas. Even in some cases, his appearances were flip-flopped after scheduling.

First, broadcasting companies’ stance is that ‘we cannot cast the singer under legal dispute’. However, JYJ insists that ‘Independent activities are guaranteed until the ruling of the lawsuit on the merits’. Some say that this situation is because of external pressure.

“I was concerned a lot about the present situation that I can be on TV only through dramas. But I decided that it would be better to do something I can do the best, (knowing promotion would be difficult) released a solo album in May”, said Junsu Kim at the press conference in Mexico. His music video of the title song ‘Tarantallegra’ which cost him half a billion Won to make, has never once been aired.

JYJ looked overseas instead. The group betted on overseas stages with the fandom they established since TVXQ.

? Idol’s new market

The Group JYJ has done..

 

The atmosphere at Junsu Kim’s Solo Concert at Blackberry Auditorio in Mexico City, Mexico on Sep 6 was just boiling. The concert was the part of his North/South American tour followed from New York and Los Angeles. 3,000 fans were shouting his name and ‘I Love You, Junsu!’ in Korean and sung ‘Besame Mucho(Kiss me much)’ together. Fans were all sung along his latest Korean lyrics such as ‘Set Me Free’. Junsu Kim is due to continue European Tour in the second-half of this year. JYJ also toured in 15 cities from the last year to the first-half of this year and met 210,000 fans around the world.

Paradoxically speaking, the restriction in Korea domestic has become the other way into the new steps. The agency says South American tours are deficit as they are too far from Korea, but it explains that “In the manner of investment, we are trying to go anywhere as long as fans are there”.

“JYJ’s case is a condensable example of the fact that the practical power belongs to management companies, the capital itself under this idol producing system, although the popularity is earned by an idol member”, Jakga Kim, the pop-music critic commented. He continued, “JYJ showed the possibility that an idol group CAN survive by themselves, not depend on the cartel which acts on collusion with management companies and broadcasting companies”.

[NEWS] 120616 JYJ’s Junsu Visits Indonesia For The First Time

[NEWS] 120616 JYJ’s Junsu Visits Indonesia For The First Time

On June 15th, JYJ‘s Junsu held a press conference at the JITEC (Mangga Dua Square) in Indonesia for his Asia tour.

Over 100 reporters bustled at the scene, and Junsu made an effort to genuinely respond to each question asked. On being in Indonesia, he revealed, “I wanted to come here with all of the members of JYJ so I’m a bit disappointed that I couldn’t. I’m glad that I can come to such an amazing country as a solo artist so I will promise you that I’ll put on a show just as amazing.”

When asked why he dyed his hair blue, he replied, “Since this is my first time visiting Indonesia, I wanted to create a fresh start with myself. I also wanted to just change it up a bit.”

Reporters then asked what kind of advice he’d give to Indonesian youth on their futures. “As you live on, you’ll realize that where there is good, there is also bad. Don’t waste your energy on the bad and try to be satisfied with the good. Gaining positive energy will bring about great accomplishments.”

A representative of his Indonesian concert organizer expressed, “There aren’t a lot of Hallyu stars that visit Indonesia yet, so Junsu’s visit has been earning a lot of interest. Many have already heard that he is known for high quality concerts so there is a lot of anticipation going for him.”

Junsu’s concert will be held on June 16th.

Kim Junsu held a fansign for 250 fans who had purchased his first official album at Nonhyun-dong, Seoul, on the afternoon of 1 June. Although the event was a closed-door one, and only those picked in a random draw were allowed in, the venue was still crowded with fans who wanted to catch a glimpse of him from afar. In order to repay everyone for their passionate support, Kim Junsu responded to the fans’ requests and sung “Lullaby” and “Reason” at the venue without accompaniment, earning the cheers of the fans.

C-Jes Entertainment also expressed, “The fansign event this time was organised to repay everyone’s love for the solo album, and it has been awhile since (Junsu) has been able to spend such meaningful time with the fans. It is also planned for him to go and meet the fans this weekend. The sales for the album has ranked highly in the 20 or so days since its release, and was ranked 10th on the Billboard World Album Charts (2 June) as well as 1st in the Japan Itunes charts.”
