[NEWS] 110429 JYJ Sues Japanese Agency Over Cancellation Of Concert

JYJ has filed a lawsuit in Japan against their management company AVEX Entertainment for interfering with their attempt to hold a charity concert.

JYJ, a boyband formed by former TVXQ members Kim Jae-joong, Kim Jun-su, and Park Yoo-chun after they filed a lawsuit against SM Entertainment for unjust contract, had planned a charity concert to aid earthquake-affected areas in Japan. However, the concert�s venues have canceled their contracts with JYJ after AVEX allegedly pressured them.

JYJ�s agency C-JeS Entertainment and the concert organizer ZAK Corporation have filed two provisional dispositions against AVEX with the Tokyo District Court.

AVEX released an official statement, in which they do not deny the action. �Our company holds the exclusive rights for JYJ�s activities in Japan, and we have just taken actions against the infringement rightfully and properly,� AVEX said. They also claimed that they have received blackmails and threats due to the matter.

AVEX signed a contract with three members of JYJ in early 2010 after JYJ filed the lawsuit with SM Entertainment. A few months later, AVEX announced the �suspension of activities� of three members, arguing JYJ should refrain from promoting in Japan while legal proceedings against SM Entertainment were under way in Korea.

This �suspension of activities� has kept JYJ from conducting any promotional activities in Japan. Even after the suspension, however, AVEX has continued to make profits with products such as DVDs and JYJ footage.

Due to their ongoing lawsuit with their management company, JYJ has had difficulties in their activities in Korea as well. They have released an album, held concerts globally, and acted in dramas and musicals, but have had trouble getting airtime on television entertainment shows.

Another pop group, KARA, who also had three members embroiled in a dispute with their management company DSP for nearly 3 months, recently announced they have resolved the disagreement and will continue their career with DSP.

JYJ was recently interviewed on the afternoon of the 25th, at a cosmetic brand photo shoot by ENT's Entertainment Station - The Interview.

In the interview, the members unanimously agreed that Jaejoong had the best skin in JYJ. In response to this, Jaejoong said, with an embarrassed expression, "Even though it's kind of weird coming from me, but if my skin was bad - that'd be a big problem. However, it sounds like I'm justifying myself."

[TRANS] 110405 Exclusive Interview - JYJ Bangkok Concert: Part 2 Director Kim Jaejoong



Male idol group JYJ started their world tour at their first stop - Bangkok - with two concerts held on April 2nd and 3rd.

This world tour is a part of the promotion for the album "The Beginning" that was released on October 3rd of last year. JYJ sets Thailand as their first stop, then Taiwan on the 23rd, and they will be at Beijing on May 7th. Ending their overseas tour with four North American cities and returning to Korea to hold their last two concerts at Busan on June 11th and 12th. Thus finishing their 8-month long promotion for their first worldwide album "The Beginning."

The most intriguing thing in this world tour is Kim Jaejoong's role as the stage director. Using this 'creative challenge' to repay the fans, he not only controls the stage, lighting, and audio - he even adds his personal touch on costumes, showing Director Kim's responsible side. In response to this, Jaejoong replies, "To be honest, it is really tiring. During the set up process, there were a lot of problem with timing and other situational issues. These were very mind boggling and required help from other crew members. It was also because it was the first time so it was even more fatiguing."

Lastly, Jaejoong claims, "Even if it will be more tiring in the future due to problems JYJ may face later on - I'm fine with that." Showing a rare mature side of Kim Jaejoong.

[TRANS] 110405 Exclusive Interview - JYJ Bangkok Concert: Kim Junsu Thanks Members' Encouragement



Male idol group JYJ started their world tour at their first stop - Bangkok - with two concerts held on April 2nd and 3rd.

In the press conference held before the concert, Junsu revealed his thoughts on working under the name of 'JYJ.' The three members of JYJ left TVXQ due to the lawsuit with their former agency SM Entertainment, and then subsequently announced their comeback and released their first worldwide album "The Beginning" on October 3rd of last year. With the help of famous rappers Kanye West and Rodney Jerkins, "The Beginning" caused a preorder craze before the album even hit the stores - creating a record of 520,000 preorders and being sold out of both online and actual record stores. Furthermore, JYJ was listed as fifth on the Billboard's 2010 Top 10 Favourite Albums - creating a stir in the music scene.

Regarding this, Junsu said, "Being listed in the Billboard's Reader Polls, even before the album was officially released, was a very memorable achievement. We were proud of that." He then continued calmly, "Mm, the only negative thing about entering the polls was that aside from us, no one else knew about it. There were also fans that only knew that our songs were being composed by famous singers. There were also people that thought we were just doing nothing during our break." This revealed the pain that Junsu felt during that period of time.
"With this album, however, we are confident with its quality. The only thing lacking is that we can't perform it on Korean stage. I feel that this is a major obstacle for us and we are becoming stronger because of it." Junsu reveals. Lastly, Junsu doesn't forget to convey his gratitude towards the other two members during the hard times, "To be able to complete this world tour was also due to the members' support and encouragement. After meeting them, I feel that I am so lucky, because I can rely on them and they can rely on me. It is also due to this that no matter what problems we face, they are meaningful. Thank you very much."

[NEWS] 110407 JYJ Begins World Concert Tour

Kim Jae Joong presented his own song he wrote himself on the stage where he had prepared as a stage director. A daughter of Thailand's prime minister attended as an audience member.

As JYJ (Kim Jae Joong, Park Yoo Chun, and Kim Jun Soo) began singing their song entitled "Be My Girl," around 11,000 audience members stood up from their seats as if they had promised to do so in advance. Fans enthusiastically provided a flash mob performance by dancing along to the song together. This happened during the first performance that was held as a part of the "JYJ World Tour Concert 2011" at Bangkok Impact Arena on April 3.


 


Kim Jae Joong worked as a chief director for stage preparation, and the group sang 80 percent of their songs that had been released from last year under the name of the JYJ including the album �The Beginning,� music essay album �Their Rooms,� and four new songs. During the world concert tour, they will sing their own songs on a stage prepared by themselves, which is very unique to an idol group, and they are expected to make a large impact on their fans overseas.


Their performance was splendid. They made a large square stage where the audience could take seats inside four small squares. When the audience made a wave of red luminous light with cheering tools, a strong green laser beam soared into the air, and members of JYJ suddenly appeared on the stage by jumping from below the stage. The audience gave a thunderous shout and their cheering sound lasted for two hours from the moment when JYJ sang their first song �Empty� to the end of the show. Members sang the songs �Nine� and �Pierrot� consecutively, and made their first introductory remarks in Thai, saying �Hello.� They expressed their resolution during the concert that they would do their best, and they enthusiastically continued their performance. When the audience members responded to their greeting remarks, the stage with the name of �Fallen Leaves� suddenly changed to yellow due to the yellow cheering tools that the audience members were holding. When the group sang their song, the audience members all sang along to the song together. In addition, Kim Jae Joong sang Thailand�s national children�s song entitled �Elephant Song� in Thai as he had already promised to sing in Thai during their last showcase in Thailand, the audience gave a loud ovation for his song sung in Thai. The audience was enraptured when JYJ sang the song �Untitled Song Part.1� that was released for the first time in a live performance.


The lyrics of the song contained their feelings that the group members had when they decided to debut again as JYJ. Park Yoo Chun fired off raps for almost eight minutes while lying on a couch and the audience responded with thunderous applause. Kim Jae Joong presented a sexy dance performance with female dancers when he sang the song �Still in Love� as his solo performance. Kim Jun Soo showed off his manly charms while singing the song entitled �I Can Soar� in sleeveless shirts. The highlight of the concert was when the group members sang their own songs that were released for the first time in front of their fans. Those four songs �Boy�s Letter,� �You�re,� �Get Out,� and �In Heaven� that group members participated in producing as lyric writers and composers were sung at the end of the concert and during encore performances. In particular, when JYJ sang the pop dance song "Get Out" that was composed by Kim Jae Joong, the entire audience stood up and danced along to the cheerful rhythm of the song, which made the concert hall appear as a grand-scale club. JYJ members performed even more enthusiastically than before as if they had felt the importance of the performances during the difficult moment they had to go through. After they finished their performances, the audience members did not stop chanting the name "JYJ."


One of their fans in Thailand named Supumnya (36) said, "I have listened to K-POP for the last ten years, and I think that JYJ is the best among the Korean singing groups because they can produce their own songs." Another fan from Japan named Saito Asako (33) said, "I could see how Kim Jae Joong had directed the stage preparation and I think that today's stage was made based on his thorough understanding of their fans."


Many local companies in Thailand such as Fanta and Siam Paragon participated as sponsors for JYJ's concert tour in Thailand. A staff member from Thailand named Julalak Mahabunpacai (23) said, "As many fans from abroad would attend the concert as audience members, seven Thai companies competitively participated in supporting the concert. There were also around 40 news reporters from Thailand, Japan, Singapore, China, and Hong Kong to cover the news of JYJ's concert, and they were all in a great frenzy to get the story." A total of 22,000 audience members including 20 entertainers in Thailand and a daughter of the prime minister of Thailand participated in the two-days concert in Thailand from April 2 to 3.

JYJ will continue their concert tour by holding performances in a total of eight cities: Taipei, Taiwan on April 23; Beijing, China on May 7; Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and Vancouver in May and June; and Busan in Korea on June 11 and 12.
