JYJ World Tour, Executive Director Kim Jaejoong: “Will Gift an Exhilarating Experience”
Group JYJ (Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu) have decided the directing concept of their ‘JYJ World Tour Concert in 2011’ which kicks off in coming April 2nd in Bangok to be “Creative Challenge” and will begin the preparations for the tour in full gear.
Diretor Paek Chang Ju of JYJ’s management company C-JeS Entertainment revealed: “JYJ members are proceeding with the final steps that heighten the degree of completion such as putting on the finishing touches of their new songs and practicing the choreography, in preparation of their worldwide 9-city World Tour that us now only 10 days away. It is going to be a colossal project, comprised of 23 songs in total.”
In ‘JYJ World Tour Concert in 2011,’ as is known (already), Kim Jaejoong himsekf took on the role of executive director and therefore is becoming a topic of conversation.
Kim Jaejoong, since last month, is himself supervising (everything) from directorial meetings with the staffs on lighting, sound, stage, video/image, to meetings with choreographers, stylists, and props managers and is himself discussing the minutiae of the components of the performance.
He is absorbing himself to the task of making a performance which allows (JYJ) to get even closer to the fans and communicate to them under the concept of “Creative Challenge.”
Kim Jaejoong sent his message of determination: “To those fans who love the music of JYJ, I want to gift them an exhilarating experience lasting for 120 minutes. To express that our World Tour’s run is ever-changing and advancing, we chose this concept. We will put to maximum use the cross-shaped and circular stage which gets even closer to the audience, and give life to the directorial elements for every song, and will so create a performance which one cannot tear one’s eyes away from.”
JYJ will show off 4 new songs as additions to this Word Tour, in addition to every single song contained in the ‘JYJ Music Essay.’ In doing so, the large majority of the tour is to be filled with songs that the members themselves wrote and composed. They plan to show that JYJ is the Asia’s representative performance-oriented artists with the talents of singer-song writers.
Meanwhile, the ‘JYJ World Tour Concert in 2011’ will take place with the Asia Tour that kicks off in Bangkok, Thailand on April 2, and will continue on with (the stops in) the United States and Canada, and will adorn its magnificent finale in Korea.
Oh God…. So many things to absorb in this article!!!
Wow.. Executive Director-Singer-Composer-Song Writer-Chef-Dancer-Actor-Model-Investor Kim Jaejoong..
He should marry an princess so that he could add an prince to his ever so long title.. I pray that everything goes well and that the hardwork really pays off.. All the three of them are expanding their craft and learning new skills.. Other young idols should look up to them being multi talented and multi dimensional.. JJ’s true leadership is being shown.. If you are born a leader.. you would not be able to hide it for long.. (sorry if I have to come across the leadership topic again but JJ will always be the best KPOP group leader for me.. cause he practice it not only in front of the camera but also offcam)
Agree 100% When leadership is natural, once can’t help but take over and be in charge.
Ikr? The Kim Jaejoong is just great in many ways! Honestly, since he’s so fresh on the job as a director, I don’t expect everything to turn out perfectly. But I have faith in him and his abilities, so I hope things will go well and JYJ will lead an impressive World Tour this time. We’ll cheer for them all the way. 🙂
agree 100% with u….
jj really show his ability as a leader….
‘Kim Jaejoong, since last month, is himself supervising (everything) from directorial meetings with the staffs on lighting, sound, stage, video/image, to meetings with choreographers, stylists, and props managers and is himself discussing the minutiae of the components of the performance.’
i can’t imagine how busy he is for preepare everything by himself…..he is really multitalent person who always tried many things
Love your comment. Couldn’t agree more. A leader shouldn’t be just a title. It’s personal characteristic of a person.
Don’t think he needs to marry a princess to be a prince. He already is one.
Can someone tell me how large the Bangkok venue is and how large the audience will be?
I really hope the concert will be a great success.
The impact arena has a capacity of 12,000. Not sure whether the tickets they made available for sale was the same or less than that ~
i’m soooo jealous of Thai’s fans, they are going to see something that is beyond awesome, and manificent and unbelievable and unforgetable. Please be generous with your fancams, fan accounts hehhehe. I admire Jae’s hard working to put up something like this for his fans. JYJ forever ^___^
Yes, please be generous with the fancams and fan accounts. I have to live vicariously off every fan who would attend the concert. ^__^
“JYJ is the Asia’s representative performance-oriented artists with the talents of singer-song writers.” THIS!!!!
AHHH I want to know the USA tour dates and the ticket prices waaaa!!!
I’m going to see them in Washington DC ^^
me tooo, i’m already predict the ticket will be around 50-100, lol, or maybe more, but most concert in the USa don’t cost more than $50 per ticket.
prices will really depend if they get sponsors or not. Hopefully it won’t be too expensive.
I won’t pay more than $300 per ticket UU but if you say that the tickets might be around 50 -100 that would be so nice for my savings ^^
lol, maybe my estimate is a bit to low, lol, but ya, even if I really love JYJ, I can’t afford anything more than $300 either. US showcase can be more expensive than others because of the currency exchange but man, I hope JYJ will get a good sponsor too.
I’m looking forward to details about the U.S tour as well. I’m so going to see them. If I remember correctly, the supposed ticket price of their U.S showcase last time was almost $200 for VIP section. I do hope they can find good sponsors this time. T__T
omg, me too. from Va
dont mind breaking the bank acct for this. it once in a lifetime opportunity to see them live. Just save more than a $100 just in case
It’ll be amazing~
I really want to go! I need to go! Ah!!!
Their showcase was up to $250-300. I got sitting seats that cost me around $190….Since that was only a showcase, I doubt that their concert would be anything less than $150. Especially since I think they have little to no sponsor’s for their US stops so everything’s gotta come out of their own pockets. So to make up for differences+profits they gotta up the price for tickets. =\ I’ll take it for what it is because they gave me a free showcase last time ^_^ <33
wow, it is really expensive. *____* wow, damm, so in order to see JYJ, I need to save at least $500
That is my budget $500 including the train ticket because i’m taking the train to go to Washington DC UU the air tickets are expensive UU
OMG everything for JYJ ^^ but I know it will be worthy ^^
ya, I know, good thing I have enough milage so I can save on the tickets but hotel, food,tickets lol, it is going to be sooo exciting heheheh
same for me. I’ll have to book flight ticket, hotel, and other fees since I don’t live at any of the states where the concerts will be held. So yeah, better start saving from now, lol! ^___^
‘in addition to every single song contained in the ‘JYJ Music Essay’ So I take it they’re going to include song w/o a name too then? That’d be interesting to watch live considering how long that song is, and well the fact that chun has to rap for a full 6 mins =/ I wonder how his stamina will fare since he has the drama shooting in between…I don’t want a skks situation repeat =(
Anyhootsss, kim jaejoong continue chasing perfection why don’t you? His wings just keeps on spreading, hopefully after the concert we can see him act on the tv screen for real this time (o hai hanbando pd please confirm the boy kthx). I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE CONCERT! I’m so excited, the boys never do disappoint and I don’t think they will if they can help it.
With a show this big, are C-Jes/JYJ going to tape it & put it out on DVD? Please, I’m on my knee’s & begging? Pretty please?!! I SOOOOOO want to see this concert!
PS: LOL at Jae saying they want to create a performance that people can’t tear their eyes away from. Newsflash sweetie, no-one can tear their eyes away from you guys period! 🙂
Yes, a dvd of the concert will sell like hotcakes! This cannot be a missed opportunity. By the way, you beg well. 🙂
I hope the 23 song are also for the USA stops and no just for the Asians stops T:T
Yes, I am really wondering if they are going to do Korean songs in USA. I actually like the Korean songs better even though I don’t speak Korean, but I’m so used to it now.
I’m so so excited for the fancams! It is going to be amazing! Hopefully nothing goes wrong! (Is it really only 10 days away?)
10 days and counting. 🙂
this is why I’m proud of JYJ.
they are moving forward, rather than talking about the past better learning from it.
hope the other party will do the same. :p
Why, he is so perfect, now he is not just leader for his member, but leader for all of staff, I’m so proud of you jaejoong
NYC or D.C., I just need a train ticket. I’m going to keep my fingers crossed it won’t be a hassle getting concert tickets. Family in NYC or D.C. here I come.
Yes, going back over the descriptions of the planning details, it’s very apparent, this entire project is being taken seriously. You guys really rock! Jaejoong, it is indeed heartwarming to see your progress in stepping up to the plate. The sky is the limit. Don’t ever stop reaching for those stars! Show the world what JYJ is made of! 😉 We your fans salute you!
Oh lucky, lucky, lucky! I’m so excited for this concert & they’re not even coming to my country! I’ll pray for you to get tickets too 🙂 Did I mention – I’M SO EXCITED!!!!
EXCITED? No, I missed that part! 🙂
they sure picks lots of things from Japan. Seriously, they not fighting anyone but constantly challenging themselves to grow more and achieve more. Simply astounding!
23 songs? I wonder how many new songs will they perform..
they’ve said it, they will singing 4 new songs (I assumed those are their own composed again). *excited*
sooo excited!
praying that everything is a great success.
We believe in Jaejoong’s truly , honesty & he do everything with all his love !!!!!!!!! We looking forward to his successful in both musical & all his other developement !
cross-shaped and circular stage ? wow ! is the stage is going to be the same in every concert in every country ? oh, God, i can’t wait for the concert in indonesia !!!
Very proud……Jejuuuuuuung, you are the best…..
I really hope this whole tour will be a great succes (eventhough they don’t come to my country T.T). And yes, a Live DVD would be awesome !
JYJ, and more particularly Jaejoong, never fail to amaze me. They are constantly challenging themselves, experimentating, trying new things, taking risks and improving.
They write their own lyrics, compose, arrange and produce their own music, and now JJ is directing their tour. It just shows how much freedom they gained by leaving SM. Now they have full control of their careers, just like true artists, and not idols anymore.
I don’t expect the tour to be perfect either because it’s Jaejoong’s first time at directing a whole tour but I’m sure he will do well. The guy has potential and he is serious and hardworking.
JYJ Fighting !!
After perusing all the articles and looking at all the photos, even knowing that TVXQ appeared in most of these other Asian countries…
SME, do you really want us to believe the reason for the 13 year contract was to allow enough time to go ‘International’? Let me get this straight, JYJ did ‘showcases’ in 3 American cities, totaling roughly 20-25 thousand people. Now, they are going to tour about 7 cities in NA, full fledge concerts, not ‘showcases’. They are doing ALL this in 2 years, w/o major sponsors, but you NEEDED 13 years to come close to this? Oh Yes, that’s right SMTown in LA is going ‘International’.
Who the hell were you trying to kid? Ahh…gullible, trusting parents, and children. Now, the smoke and mirrors are beginning to clear up and the picture is getting better.
Well, take a look, a long hard look. Lessons have been learned, and dreams are no longer going to be deferred. Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu are going to prove it doesn’t take 13 years to reach the goal of going ‘International’. Next stop – Europe, Australia, South America, and the list goes on! See Yah!
