Customer Reviews

Is this album legit?
I want to buy this album, but does anyone know if this album is legit?
DDC Entertainment seems fishy and shouldn't there be 6 tracks, what happened to Micky's Untitled Song Part 1??.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
JYJ is LOVE
EXCUSE ME WHILE I GO ALL FANGIRLY RIGHT HERE.
OMG OMG OMG I LOVE JYJ SOOOOO MUCH!!!! ASDFGHJKL; THIS ALBUM IS PERFECT :D:D:D:D:D
Ok, back to the review. This album displays their exquisite vocals and amazing range.
-Mission is really fun to listen to. Yoochun's rap is a bit funny
-Nine has got to be my favorite.
-Pierrot has a sick beat
-Fallen Leaves is beautifullll
-I.D.S "I want you in my pants---I mean...plans."
-Where's the Unnamed Song by Yoochun?!?!?!
The boys have been through so much. They deserve so much love. JYJ FIGHTING!!

Last thing: Thank you, iTunes!! Keep the Kpop coming (;
JYJ Flavor is Good!
When it comes to R&B flavored pop JYJ is seriously all that. While in my heart of hearts I am one of the many who long to see TVXQ5 find their way back together I can't help but celebrate the experience of JYJ. I am even a little more into 'Music Essay' than I was into 'the Beginning' and boy is that saying a lot (lol). With 'the Beginning' my ear definitely had favorite songs with this ('Music Essay') I just punch repeat all and let it flow.

As an aside though I can't help but think that JYJ and TVXQ are each bringing the other so much attention --and perhaps even creating a little healthy competition-- that they will elevate each other until one day they naturally re-merge. Stay positive everyone! and AKTF.
 

Keita Tachibana (w-inds) Twitter Updates ..





If I do say so myself, Changmin's high notes are really light but deep, his vocal is very nice. He should have earnestly practised this one year in order to vocalize that voice. I get stimulated by those whose performances have clearly become better. On the other hand, I do not feel anything for those who have been good performers from before, but have not changed ever since.

[Trans] 110219 SM’s Court Verdict Refutation Unleashes A Flood Of Criticism From The Public


On the 17th, the Seoul District Courts dismissed both the formal objection and exclusive contract suspension injunction filed by SM Entertainment against JYJ (Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu).

Regarding this, SM Entertainment immediately released a refutation document stating, “SM and JYJ’s legal battle is still not over,” and “The decision laid down by the Courts on the 17th was made only with regards to the injunction; it does not mean that the exclusive contract between SM and JYJ is invalid.” They continued to add, “We are currently involved in the trial on this issue and a witness examination date has been set for mid-March. We will use only the objective truth and facts to prove the validity of the exclusive contract.”

Park Yoohwan “Park Yoochun Is A Fatherly Brother, I’m Proud Of Him”


 

Park Yoohwan said that his brother Park Yoochun is “A fatherly brother.

Though he has made his debut as an actor, Park Yoohwan is more well known as Park Yoochun’s younger brother. News articles and interviews being released about him all include references to Park Yoochun. Though it wouldn’t have been surprising if Park Yoohwan felt a little disappointed by this, he smiled brightly and said, “I am proud of the fact that Park Yoochun is my older brother.“

Park Yoochun is five years older than his younger brother. Park Yoohwan said, “During my childhood, I lived in Virginia with my family. We were the only Asian people in our area. People were so racist against us that I walked around with a dark expression on my face. But when I was at home, I could smile brightly. My older brother took care of me like a father.“

Park Yoohwan confessed that he was momentarily happy when his brother left to Korea to become a celebrity. As they had been sharing a room together till then, Park Yoohwan first thought, “Everything is mine now.” But that young heart soon turned into a deep longing for his brother.

Afterwards, Park Yoochun succeeded as a singer. A few years ago, their family all returned to Korea, Park Yoohwan included. He said, “I was scared at first because I had left Korea at such a young age. I would sometimes speak impolitely to those much older than me. My brother retaught me of the proprieties of Korea with a firm hand.“

Park Yoochun is Under Consideration to Cast in ‘Goodbye Miss Ripley’



Singer and actor Park Yoochun has been under review to star in MBC TV Drama ‘Goodbye Miss Ripley’

Park Yoochun’s representative from his agency CJeS Entertainment Baek Chang Ju said on a phone call with TV Daily, “We have only met for casts review. Nothing is yet confirmed by now. The result will be determined after a careful examination.”

According to representative Baek, currently there are two dramas that are lining up asking for Park Yoochun’s appearance. Park Yoochun has been enjoying an immense popularity ever since his acting debut in KBS 2TV drama ‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’ last year.

Other than ‘Goodbye Miss Ripley’ Park Yoochun has also rose as potential cast for KBS 2TV new drama ‘Maid’

TVXQ to appear on MBC’s “Knee-Drop Guru”

 
 
On February 23rd, representatives of MBC’s “Knee-Drop Guru” revealed that TVXQ completed their recording for the show in strict secrecy.

Aside from program representatives, the recording was completely closed off and sealed in order to prevent content leakage. Although their appearance was previously dismissed as rumors, TVXQ completed their appearance with only the necessary staff members present.

Because Yunho already has a close friendship with MC Kang Ho Dong, the recording was said to have taken in a comfortable atmosphere. Topics discussed ranged from the crises their group faced for the past two years, the leave of the other members, as well as the appearance of discord between them and the other members while preparing for their comeback.

Stay tuned for the broadcast date.

Yunho & Changmin At Makuhari Event ....



What do you think is the color of each other?

MC: Yunho-san and Changmin-san, what do you think is the color of each other?
Changmin: Ummmm, I think Yunho is red.
MC: Red? What is the reason?
CM: I think…ummm, his passionate character perfectly fits with the image of red. I personally think that red stands for a honest character… today it’s very, very…
MC: There are laughs…
CM: What I mean by “red is honest” is; he is very sincere, passionate, I think that his character perfectly fits the color red.
MC: I see. So Yunho-san, what do you think is the color of Changmin-san?
Yunho: Blue.
MC: Blue. Please tell us the reason.
YH: I think blue fits the best with him.
CM: We are asking of the reason! Please tell us of the reason.
MC: Changmin-san…
YH: He likes the color. The reason is, Changmin is calm from the past, and his heart is like the sea, a big heart.
MC: His heart is like the sea, a big heart.
YH: And with this blue, I think that the red matches the best. So when I went to the pool a little while ago, I splashed water to him “Pyon” (T/N: Pyon is a cute phrase meaning hop or jig)
MC: Here it comes!
YH: I’m not a cute character!
Audience: (Lol) Cute, cute!
MC: Yes
YH: OK
MC: So, when thinking of the color of each other, red and blue was their answer.

Jaejoong was extremely high-tensioned today at his gathering with friends ....

A lot of people came~ to the shop LOL. It was very amazing. He also laughed a lot.

He = the prince (T/N: Iwama-san always calls JJ 'the prince' XD)

Me: "Did you tell anyone that you came here?"
Prince: "Aha! I didn't~"

The prince's tension was very high~

The hug question comes out again! There were even more hugs than usual LOL

In order not to crush more hearts, I'll stop here.

Since there are a lot of you who told me not to stop, I'll continue.

Why does everyone have fetish for smell? He doesn't smell anything.

It was the first time I've ever seen the prince's tension got that high & looked that happy.

Right, this is the 2nd time I've seen the prince in working mode. The first time was at Tokyo Dome, the second time was yesterday. When he's in working mode, he's very professional, and also provides a lot of fanservices.

The prince's normal face is very lenient LOL! When he's at work, as in PVs and magazines, he looks very gallant, doesn't he? I see, you guys the princesses only saw the gallant side of the prince before right? I see.

A lot of you are saying that I'm teasing you guys LOL!

He really enjoyed his time working in Japan~ Well then, princesses, please go to sleep LOL! Eh, you can't sleep anymore? LOL

"U-Know Yunho's girlfriend? No. We're just good friends." ....

"U-Know Yunho's girlfriend? No. We're just good friends."

Actress Lee Seon Ah laughed loudly and waved off the remark. At the slighly awkward question 'You seem to be close with U-Know Yunho?', she smiled and began talking.

"Yunho and I are hometown friends. I knew him until I was in college but we stopped contacting each other once Yunho got busy."

The question about the two came from the 'Star shot' they took together. (T/N: 'Star shot' is the sticker photo which you can decorate and write on, like the ones Yunho and Yoochun took together in 2004.) The 'Star shot' U-Know Yunho and Lee Seon Ah took together 7 years ago is spreading amongst TVXQ fans and has become a hot topic.

"It's a photo we took at COEX while Yunho was still a trainee. 'Star shot' was all the rage back then, and it was something everyone did; it was like a rite of passage."

The last time Lee Seon Ah saw U-Know Yunho was when she was attending an acting academy before enterting college as a theater and film studies major. There, she met another one of U-Know Yunho's hometown friends by chance.

"Once, Yunho visited our acting academy to cheer us on not long after his debut. Back then, I used to like Micky Yoochun so I teased him and said, 'Why didn't you bring Micky Yoochun with you?' We still used to speak in a Jeolla province dialect back then. hahaha."

(omitted)

"Whenever Yunho or I felt like life was getting too hard, we'd say, 'Let's work hard and meet again as members of society.' Since I'm working hard right now, I'm sure he'll say, 'You've gone through a lot, great job,' if I run in to him one day, right?"

Part Yoohwan 'Park Yoochun Even Spoke in The SungKyunKwan Scholar Dialect at Home"

 

Park Yoohwan began taking acting lessons at the same time as his brother, JYJ's Park Yoochun.

Last year, Park Yoochun began taking acting lessons for his role in the drama 'SungKyunKwan Scandal' and Park Yoohwan decided to tag along and learn with him. Park Yoohwan said, "My brother was overflowing with confidence because he's experienced when it comes to tv appearances. But I didn't even know what Cameras 1, 2, and 3 were. I couldn't do anything because I was so nervous."

Though they had the same start, Park Yoochun almost immediately became Lee Seon Joon of 'SungKyunKwan Scandal'. The drama received great reviews and captured the hearts of many women. Park Yoochun seemed to have taken a liking to his character as he even spoke in a historical dialect at home. Park Yoohwan explained that, "My brother would even speak in a historical dialect at home as if he was Lee Seon Joon. He even acted like he was the real Lee Seon Joon of the Joseon Dynasty. At home, I don't get the feeling that my brother is a celebrity."

JYJ is gearing up to embark on a large-scale world tour.
The trio is planning to resume their overseas promotions in April by hosting the ‘JYJ World Tour Concert in 2011‘, which will visit five Asian countries and five North American cities. Resuming promotions for their album, “The Beginning“, the boys will hold concerts in Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, New York, L.A., Washington D.C., San Francisco, and Canada.

Jaejoong specifically will be in charge of directing the concerts in Asia. He has previously directed certain stage productions, even partaking in the visual effects component with the other staff members for their last concerts in Korea, U.S., and Japan.

A representative from C-JeS Entertainment stated, “Jaejoong’s interest in directing concerts has been growing. After proving his credibility by directing some performances in previous concerts, we named him as one of the directors of our world tour“.

Before embarking on the epic tour, JYJ is planning to hold a fan meeting in March, in celebration of ‘White Day’.

Jaejoong and Yamapi working together in the future?

Yamashita Tomohisa (a.k.a. Yamapi) revealed through a recent interview that he’d like to work with JYJ’s Jaejoong in the future. ”Jaejoong and I promised to work together someday. I really want to do it if there is any chance,” he said. The two became close while TVXQ was promoting in Japan, even attending a Lady Gaga benefit concert together. Additionally, Yamapi’s sister, Yamashita Rina, and his mother are huge TVXQ fans.

Yamapi is a member of NEWS, one of Japan’s biggest pop groups, and he’s contracted under Johnny’s Entertainment, Japan’s largest agency. He’s currently visiting Korea to promote his solo album, “SUPERGOOD, SUPERBAD“, and recently performed “Party Don’t Stop” on Mnet’s ”M! Countdown“.

He first gained recognition in Korea through his role in “Code Blue“, a Japanese medical drama that enjoyed a great deal of popularity both at home and abroad. Gauging his growing popularity in Korea, Mnet Media and Johnny’s were in talks about potentially debuting Yamapi. Indeed, both parties were gratified to learn that he was greeted by over 200 fans at the airport when he flew in a few days ago.

When asked about his popularity, Yamapi gave a shy laugh and said, “It’s awkward for me to talk about my popularity with my own mouth. My goal is just to work hard and receive the fans’ love.”

Yamapi also promised fans that he’d “study Korean hard” so that he could create a full Korean album soon.

Lawyer Park Chan Jong Defends Against KBS President For JYJ



KBS president, JYJ (TVXQ) and artist management company SM Entertainment's contract has been ruled by the Courts as an 'unfair slave contract,' confirming it as invalid. But because of the company's immense influence, it has caused JYJ to receive rejections from television stations allowing them to perform. With citizens of this country paying for the public broadcasting stations to maintain operations, how could it result to this? Please comply with the just laws!

"ELLE" to Release Additional Copies of JYJ's Jaejoong's Photo Spread

Fashion magazine ELLE has announced that they will be producing additional copies of their March issue, thanks to Jaejoong’s sexy photo spread.

Fans felt their hearts flutter at the unique concept Jaejoong donned for the new photo spread, for which he portrays a beautiful assassin. But that’s not all – ‘ELLE’ also included an in-depth interview with the star, who discussed his personal insecurity issues and his hopes for the future.

An excerpt from the interview reads: “During the beginning of our overseas advancement, I didn’t have much confidence in myself and couldn’t shake hands with people at the airport properly. Moreover, I even hid behind the other members.”

Jaejoong also expressed his gratitude for the unchanging love from the fans, “I think the Asian fans received good impressions of our image, singing and performances, which is why they think nicely of us.”

He continued, “When we were younger, we were always daring to show a stronger and more masculine side to us, but now, we think we need to show a more composed image.”

‘ELLE’ will be releasing additional copies of Jaejoong’s photo spread from February 24th onwards.

Jay Park will get help from the KPCI to feature on future broadcasts ....


Following singer Jay Park’s recent statement of apology towards JYP Entertainment and his former 2PM bandmates, the Korean Popular Culture Industry came forth to reveal that the two parties have finally solved past troubles and disputes between each other, and associates of the industry agreed to help Jay feature on future broadcasts.

On February 23rd, the industry’s associates released an official document regarding this matter, which stated:

“Even though former 2PM member Park Jaebum disappointed those who cared for him with his past mistakes, he is now with a new family and is beginning his celebrity activities as a solo artist. Seeing that he has confidently acknowledged, and is asking forgiveness, for the mistakes that would’ve been difficult for him to say, we can confirm that Park Jaebum has developed into a more mature person. We also feel that he is ready to show a better and more awesome image of himself to those fans who have given him infinite love.”

“This is not only a judgement by the Korean Popular Culture Industry, but also by JYP Entertainment. We hope Park Jaebum will be able to showcase his complete form once again.”

Fashion magazine “ELLE” will host a glamorous photo spread of actress Ha Ji Won for their upcoming March issue.

The photoshoot took place at the scene of Prada’s fashion show, for which Ha Ji Won was the only Korean celebrity to receive an invite.

Prada visited Beijing on January 21st to unveil their 2011 S/S collection; the show marked the first time that the Prada label travelled outside of Milan to exhibit their new collection. In commemoration of their Asian fashion show, Prada gathered various top Chinese actresses to participate in the catwalk, including Maggie Cheung, Gong Li, and Tang Wei.

Ha Ji Won was personally invited to show by director Miuccia Prada herself, and proudly represented the nation as the only Korean actress to stand on the catwalk.

The full photo spread can be viewed in the March edition of “ELLE”.

Sungkyunkwan Scandal mentioned on The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines - A few years ago, after joining a Mexican cruise with my family and learning that a sleepy Mexican town (Puerto Vallarta) became an instant blazing tourism destination when a Hollywood movie starring Richard Burton, then married to Elizabeth Taylor, was shot there, I wrote an article strongly urging our government to look into how we could attract foreign filmmakers to shoot their movies in the Philippines. In South Korea, the Korean Tourism Organization (KTO) offers fantastic special deals for filmmakers who want to shoot in Korea, especially showcasing tourist attractions. For this reason, South Korea has become a favorite for international filmmakers like Vishesh Films of India (this country has the largest film industry in the world in terms of number of films produced and released each year) and consequently saw the upsurge of visitors to Korea.

But in addition to foreign movies filmed there, the meteoric rise in the number of international tourists in Korea has also been strongly attributed to Korean telenovelas. In an international convention of lawyers I attended late last year in this Asian nation, I was astonished to learn that Korean telenovelas are a hit not only among us Filipinos but people of all races. (I had always thought that it was the strong presence of Koreans in the Philippines that brought about this extraordinary phenomenon among Filipino viewers; how wrong I was!)

A Japanese delegate shared that wives of top government officials spend most of their vacations in South Korea because they are so enamoured of the tourist spots featured in Korean dramas. This same delegate expounded that even ordinary housewives would bring their teenage children (as young as 16!) to South Korea for plastic surgery as birthday gifts, inspired by the beauty of Korean actors (male and female!) who reportedly have been surgically enhanced. My Malaysian friend Sarah Huang says she and her mother never miss any show of their favorite Korean drama series. I heard the same from our Taiwanese, Chinese, Indonesian, African, Sri Lankan and even Russian friends!

Xiah JUNSU's CONCERT DVD


“This concert DVD was produced by a representative Korean production team, with Sylvester Levay and musical director Kim Mun Jeong participating in the production. We also had the original Viennese composers’ and Korean production teams’ taking turns correcting it, so that we can produce a concert DVD that includes more effort and is higher in quality than your average concert DVD.” - DVD Producer Kim Ji Won

Disc 1:
• Songs from “Mozart!” the musical which had the best local musical performers participating in it, such as “I Am Music, “Why Can’t You Love Me,” “Golden Stars,” “I Want To Escape My Fate” – 18 songs in total.
• “Elizabeth” Korean Version – 6 Songs in total
• Levay’s present to Kim Junsu, “ Miss you so” (Levay performs on stage, accompanying Kim Junsu on the piano)

Disc 2:
• The encore performance of “Intoxication,” which became a huge topic during the concert. This song was from Kim Junsu’s Japanese single, and was rearranged by Levay into an orchestra version.
• Making film of the preparation process outside of the actual performance – Approximately 1 hour long
• Introduction of the practice room that moved the hearts of the fans, as well as the make-up room and behind the scenes footage.

Aside from the 2 DVDs, there will be a 80 page photobook from Kim Junsu’s concert performance.
