[NEWS] 110126 JYJ’s Yoochun gives Jaejoong a unique birthday present

JYJ’s Jaejoong celebrated his 26th birthday on January 26th, and his groupmate Park Yoochun gave him a rather unique birthday present.

Since Jaejoong is a fan of long hairstyles, Yoochun promised him that he would grow his hair until his own birthday. Considering how Yoochun’s birthday is on June 4th, it would mean that his hair would grow unchecked for at least 4 months.

Junsu, who was there for the whole scene, expressed that Yoochun’s present was something he couldn’t bear to see happen. Fortunately, Jaejoong was stated to be very touched and satisfied with his gift.

It’ll definitely be an interesting couple of months, as Yoochun tries to fulfill his promise to Jaejoong. What do you guys think? Would Yoochun look better with longer or shorter hair?

[NEWS] KBS confirms JYJ’s performance for the ‘2010 Drama Awards’

Last week, JYJ’s first broadcast appearance in Korea via KBS’s “2010 Drama Awards” was reported to be under discussion.

Recently, a representative from KBS’s drama team confirmed on December 14th that JYJ will be performing “Found You” – a track from the “Sungkyunkwan Scandal” OST – for December 31st.

Representatives of JYJ and KBS were said to have argued over the number of songs to be performed in the beginning, but both sides ended up agreeing to KBS’s initial request for a one-song congratulatory performance.

JYJ met with various obstacles in October after the release of their debut album, “The Beginning“, due to legal issues with SM Entertainment. Yet KBS came forward and requested their appearance, reasoning that Yoochun was one of the leading stars for its drama “Sungkyunkwan Scandal”, and that JYJ sang the OST for it.

This performance may allow future opportunities for the boys to perform in additional public venues.

[NEWS] 100517 "Avatar" producers to film BoA, TVXQ concerts in 3D

Korean idol group TVXQ performing at concert [SM Entertainment]

Director James Cameron and his team of producers behind Hollywood blockbuster pic "Avatar" have agreed to produce the music videos and concert videos for BoA, TVXQ and other artists under agency SM Entertainment (SM) in 3D format.

Cameron -- currently in town for the annual Seoul Digital Forum -- met with Korean conglomerate Samsung Electronics' executives and SM founder Lee Soo-man at the "3D Content-Related Cooperation Plan" event, held today at Samsung offices in Seocho District, where they announced news of the collaboration.

According to the plan, "Avatar" producers will be filming SM artists' music videos and concerts in 3D and electronics giant Samsung will use the 3D content in the company's worldwide marketing plan for its 3D television products.

The filming for the 3D concert is expected to begin "around June" in Korea, presumably at live music concerts featuring BoA, TVXQ and Girls' Generation.

Producer and entertainment mogul Lee Soo-man expressed his anticipation, saying "I am proud to be able to work with a global company like Samsung Electronics and the best team of producers in the world. I think we will come up with the best 3D content."

Female pop singer BoA, who also attended the event with TVXQ members Max Changmin and U-Know Yunho, commented, "I am glad and excited to take part in such a fantastic event. I will try my best to become an artist who approaches fans with great content."

The TVXQ singers said they will "work hardest to create a new kind of cultural content."

SM Entertainment, considered one of the top talent agencies in Korea, just yesterday disclosed information on its earnings for the first quarter of the year, indicating its most successful first quarter to date.

The firm recorded operating profits of 10.4 billion won, or over nine million dollars, during the three month period, which is an increase by an astounding 471 percent from the same period last year.

BoA has been one of the most successful K-pop artists since first making her debut ten years ago and is one of the first Korean artists to make a major breakthrough into the Japanese music industry. She also made her U.S. debut in March 2009.

Five member boy-band TVXQ is also one of Asia's top artists with reportedly the largest fanbase in the world but they have ceased working as an entirety since July last year after three of its members, namely Hero Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun and Xiah Junsu, became embroiled in a legal battle with SM.

[NEWS] BoA – 2 TVXQ Members “We Will Work Hard for Activities to Produce a Good 3D content”

Singer BoA together with 2 members of TVXQ U-Know Yunho and Choikang Changmin finally appeared in front of Korean public after a long time.

The three on May 14th at 11:00 am attended SM Entertainment and Samsung Electronics’ collaboration press conference in regards to expansion of 3D-related content, meanwhile the producer of the agency, Lee Soo Man attended along with them.

At the event day, SM and Samsung through the press conference described thoroughly the business direction they’re going to conduct with the director of 3D movie ‘Avatar’, James Cameron.

After opening remarks by BoA on stage, producer Lee Soo Man said, “It’s nice to meet all of you in this place, and that we’re able to attend this event together. I have a high expectation for an upcoming movie that will be produced for SMTOWN.”

TVXQ U-Know Yunho also said, “It’s a good opportunity to have a 3D production, frankly 3D content is new to the culture, so I’ll work hard for that. We ask many love and support in the future as well.” Changmin added, “3D content is leading and has been in top position of delivering communications. Therefore to attend this event in this good place, is an honor to me. Indeed it’s a good project, thus I will try to give my best in creating a good content.”

The main issue of this collaboration with Director James Cameron of Avatar is to produce music and concert videos of SM Entertainment artists in 3D and Samsung will take the advantage for the 3D content in marketing their 3D TV.

Samsung Electronics with production team of Avatar from Director James Cameron has already held a Full HD 3D LED TV Global Launch event at New York Time Square in last March, and at the event, the 3D video of Black Eyed Peas live live performance was captured, ever since the 3D TV has been actively marketed.

[News] TVXQ suspending activities: the financial consequences

orean boy band TVXQ’s recent announcement that they will be ceasing their musical activities as a group in Japan is expected to take a hefty financial toll on their local management agency, according to Japanese entertainment site Zakzak (www.zakzak.co.jp).

Zakzak quoted noted Japanese music critic Tomisawa Issei, who said “TVXQ’s break from their musical activities will result in sales losses for Japanese management agency AVEX worth from as little as 3 billion yen (31.9 million dollars) to as much as 5 billion yen (53.2 million dollars).”

The Japanese talent agency, known for discovering new talents and venturing into the movie business, is said to have been taking various measures to overcome their recent business difficulties which included downsizing their board of directors from thirteen to seven earlier this month.

AVEX announced on their official website last Saturday that the boy band, currently involved in a legal dispute with their Korean talent agency SM Entertainment, will be halting their activities as a group but the members will continue to pursue their individual activities.

Matsuura Katsuhito, president of the agency’s mother company AVEX Group Holdings Inc., had revealed his shock at the news on social networking service Twitter, saying “You have no idea how big a hit AVEX has taken. It is hard for me to talk about this because I have to consider the standpoint of Korean agency SM Entertainment, but I will try to make [TVXQ] remain for [the group's] Japanese fan club ‘bigeast’”.

The five-man band had officially stopped working as a group in Korea since last July when three of its members — Xiah Junsu, Hero Jaejoong and Micky Yoochun — asked a court to nullify their exclusive contract with SM, claiming their 13-year contract period is too long.

TVXQ, who debuted in 2004 with album “Hug”, is one of the most successful K-pop acts in Asia. They reportedly have the largest fanbase in the world, and have enjoyed great success in the Japanese music industry in particular.

Last week, the group made music chart history in Japan, becoming the first foreign artists in 15 years to place their single and album simultaneously within the top three slots of Oricon’s singles and albums chart.

[NEWS] 100406 Can ZUNO Live Up to Younger Twin Xiah Junsu's Success?

ZUNO, the older twin of TVXQ member Xiah Junsu [BIAS]


ZUNO - Can the older brother live up to the younger sibling's success?

On April 18, Tohoshinki fans in Japan will likely be seeing the brothers Xiah Junsu and ZUNO together on the same stage for Xiah Junsu's twin Kim Junho will be making his singing debut in Japan under the stage name ZUNO. Like the event's title "ZUNO JAPAN 1st SHOWCASE 2010 in TOKYO - Special Guest Junsu," Xiah Junsu will be appearing at the showcase to support his older brother. ZUNO, well-known among Japanese fans as "the older twin of Xiah Junsu who used to be a baseball player," already made his debut at the "Beijing Showcase" held in China on March 28. This was the official debut performance in China for the singer even though he had already been making himself known in the region by appearing on Chinese variety programs since quite a while ago. Of course, Xiah Junsu also made a guest appearance at this event and received cheers from many fans.
Twin brothers ZUNO (right in left picture) and Xiah Junsu appear on Korea's celebrity dating show "Introducing the Friend of a Famous Star" in November 2008 [MBC]

ZUNO's debut is a big issue among [Tohoshinki's] Japanese fans as well. The promotional teaser video of his debut single "Nothing to Lose," released prior to the China showcase, recorded over 10,000 hits within several hours of its release on Youtube. And entertainment magazine "Hallyupia," which featured an exclusive interview with ZUNO in its recent issue, is also showing a lot of interest in the singer. The tickets for the showcase, which went on sale on March 14, have completely sold out. Rumor has it that the number of applicants for the showcase were several times the amount of people that can be held at Tokyo's JCB Hall, the venue for the showcase. Concert organizers ended up deciding to hold additional concerts by request of fans who were unable to get tickets. However, Xiah Junsu will not be appearing in this additional gig, which takes place at 1 p.m. prior to the main showcase performance.

It is hard to deny that ZUNO is getting more attention just because he is the twin brother of Xiah Junsu, the member of Korean idol group Tohoshinki. It is very possible that tickets for the showcase sold out in such a short time thanks to the promotional strategy to visibly add the subtitle "Special Guest Xiah Junsu" for the event. However, if he -- who has revealed his aspiration to "become a star throughout Asia including China and Japan" -- wants to grow into Hallyu star ZUNO, he might need to listen attentively to the careful advice by Japanese netizens who have said on Yahoo! Japan, "Every article about you includes the modifier 'Xiah Junsu's twin brother'. Publicity is necessary but how about getting a little more evaluation on your own talent and presence?"

[News] 2000 Fans Showed Excitement Over U-Know Yunho’s Michael Jackson Memorial Concert

TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho had his appearance in Michael Jackson tribute concert ‘A Tribute’ band from Michael Jackson’s THIS IS IT movie and U-Know Live’ held at Yongsan War Memorial Square today on the 27th.

The venue was filled with approximately 2000 people. Japanese, Chinese, and Korean fans were all anticipating the concert which was supposed to start at 6pm.

At 7:10 U-Know Yunho climbed up the stage with the track ‘Beat It’ and welcomed the whole 2000 fans.

The performance was highly influenced by one in Michael Jackson’s last movie ‘This Is It’, however U-Know Yunho showed up his own dance style while was dancing to Michael Jackson’s routines.

After finishing the first song, Yunho said, “To be the lead singer in Michael Jackson’s tribute concert, I feel delight to stand here.” also, “I hope the performance will chase away the coldness.”

Yunho got his stage again in the middle of the show, for ‘Smooth Criminal’. U-Know Yunho dazzled the audiences with his dance and definitely blew the cold away. He reached the peak of his singing during the song ‘Thriller’. The amusing ‘drill’ dance put on fire at the audiences, and they began to shout “U-KNOW YUNHO!”

U-Know Yunho then said, “Please keep showing a great interest in the future, thank you!”

However, due to the lack of preparation, there were some significant inconvenience missing in the whole concert. From the scheduled performance that was supposedly started at 6pm for approximately 2 hours, the actual concert was delayed for 1 hour and 10 minutes and only started at 7:10 pm.

An official said, “The concert had been delayed due to mechanical inspection.” he asked for audiences’ patience. With most of the audiences were standing, they needed to wait for the stage to be prepared.

Above all, the R area that costs 110,000 won and S area that costs 99,000 won are considered expensive tickets. Whether this concert could be seen worth for all those costs, we should reconsider again.

The vocalists, including U-Know Yunho were Van Johnson, and Toni Terry. With their involvement, this concert had been expected to be a concert with 100 points of vocals. The production team of Ken Stacey was directly chosen by Michael Jackson and was introduced as ‘This Is It’ band, he was an active backing vocal in United States, however seems that this Michael Jackson’s tribute concert had been overvalued.

Ken Stacey as well as Richard Marx worked as Michael Jackson’s backing vocals. But seems that they just received the high praise only because they participated in Michael Jackson’s concerts. The power of the performance was disappointing. It was Michael Jackson’s song, but we could feel that the singing power was limited.

Ken Stacey’s skill doesn’t reach U-Know Yunho well. In the end this memorial concert was said to be just U-Know Yunho 100,000 won concert.

U-Know Yunho is expected to attend Michael Jackson’s tribute concert at London’s Wembley Arena at June 8th (local time), and be the only Asian artist on the show.

When Terry sang a song that belongs to the brother group Jackson Five, ‘Never Can Say Goodbye’, during the call he said, “Michael I love you. I never can say goodbye.” turning the fans in screams.
