[NEWS] 300+ Fans Sleep on the Streets for JYJ
Because of JYJ, 300 Fans Sleep on the Streets
(omitted)
– In the JYJ Concert, Thailand’s celebrities revealed themselves. Singer / VJ ‘JA,’ who is the most popular (such person) in Thailand, enjoyed the concert. Also, the daughter of current prime minister Abhisi, Maprang, also participated, saying that she is a die-hard fan.
– When JYJ drew more than 20,000 people for the concert, the affiliates of the concert in Thailand also expressed their surprise. The Thailand concert affiliate evaluated: “Because last month a Korean TV station had held a Korean Wave concert by bringing in all at once many singers, we worried that perhaps that would affect the JYJ concert. But because both days sold out, we were very shocked. The JYJ Concert was the best in terms of drawing the audience among all the concerts held by Korean artists in Thailand this year.”
– …The fans’ passion for seeing JYJ as near to them as possible was enough to induce tears (to the obsever). The die-hard fans who watched the two days of performances did not refuse even sleeping on the streets in order to acquire good seats for the performance on the 3rd. After the performance on the 2nd was over, many hundreds of fans spread mats around the concert hall and passed the night awake.

[JYJ3 NOTE] This article, along with the other two that we just translated (i.e., in total, 3 articles– http://wp.me/p1gQsC-2ut, http://wp.me/p1gQsC-2ul, http://wp.me/p1gQsC-2uA) were posted a few minutes ago on the respective websites of the Korean newspapers. HOWEVER, now all 3 have disappeared from the web. According to a fan who has called the newspaper to ask why this is so, there seems to be an innocuous explanation– it is to hold off until the articles go off to the “print” media tomorrow morning. The newspaper said that tomorrow there will be many articles about the JYJ Concert.
[NEWS] JYJ, First Performance of the World Tour Shows Their Musical Growth
JYJ, First Performance of the World Tour Shows Their Musical Growth
Group JYJ (Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun, Ki Junsu) turned it loose their first World Tour in the midst of the enthusiasms of their fans of Asia.
They showed off their “ticket power” by drawing 22,000 Asian fans (total 2 times) in the ‘JYJ World Tour Concert 2011’ which was held in Impact Arena of Bangkok, Thailand, on the 2nd and 3rd. The fans who gathered from all over Asia including not merely Thailand but also Korea, Hong Kong and Japan, sang, danced, and cried together with JYJ and enthusiastically responded to (JYJ) as if they had become one with JYJ.
On the 3rd which was the second day of the Tour, the concert hall which was packed/squeezed without remaining seats from the 1st floor “standing” seats to the 3rd floor seats, rippled with the wave of red lightsticks. When the venue’s lights went off and JYJ appeared, the seats became swept up in the roar of the Asian female fans—“Kyaa!” The three members, who bounded onto the stage with a lift, opened their first stage with ‘Empty.’ After that, they continued with ‘I.D.S.’ and “Pierrot’ and others. When Kim Junsu said hello in Thai, “Sawadi-Kab~” the audience burst into cheering. Yoochun relayed his gladness (at seeing the fans) with the words “you’ve waited so long~.” Kim Jaejoong reduced the distance between himself and the fans by singing for them the Elephant Song which he composed in Thai (T/N: The reporter is wrong here; Jaejoong did not compose the Elephant Song^^). This is Jaejoong’s keeping the promise he made in the Thailand Showcase which was held last year after the release of the World Wide Album, that he “would make a song in Thai.” (T/N: The promise was to sing the Elephant Song in Thai, not to create a song in Thai.)
When the members sang upbeat dance song ‘Be My Girl,’ the atmosphere shot up towards its peak. The audience all stood up and danced together with JYJ and the stage and the audience became one.
After this, the stages of ‘Ayyy Girl’ and ‘Mission’ in which one could enjoy the powerful dance and music followed, and the atmosphere of the concert reached its peak. When ‘Found You,’ the theme song of ‘Sungkyunkwan Scandal’ which is a drama in which Park Yoochun starred as the lead, the audience all stood up and waved their arms and merged with the music. With the heart-tugging ballad(s) composed by Junsu “Fallen Leaves” and ‘Boy’s Letter’, the planned concert finished. (T/N: The sentence is structured so that it is ambiguous whether ‘Boy’s Letter is also composed by Junsu). When the audience did not leave their seats but instead chanted the name ‘JYJ,’ the members again rose to the stage and sang ‘Get Out’ and ‘In Heaven,’ which were new songs, and decorated the great finale of the concert which ran about 2 hours and 30 minutes.
This concert which was held in Thailand for two days is significant, not only because it is the beginning of JYJ’s first World Tour, but also because it showed their musical abilities which had much grown. Kim Jaejoong took charge the entirety of the directing of the concert and most satisfactorily displayed his side as an artist. He not only (took care of) the stage directing, video, and sound, but also costumes and sensitively fine-tuned the entirety of the concert to show off a stage in which the individuality unique to JYJ was alive. He even showed that he was passionate enough to stay in Thailand from two weeks prior to the concert in order to spread open a perfect stage. Furthermore, by filling more than 80% of the repertoire with self-made songs, he without a doubt carved into the minds of the audience the fact that JYJ is a ‘singer-songwriter group.’
Fans paid attention to the fact that it was a stage in which JYJ’s musical abilities could be seen. The Korean fan Ms. Jin XX, who watched both days’ performances, said: “Junsu’s self-composed song was very good. I liked that I could feel the musical growth of the members from the stage.” Ms. Su Pumnya, who resides in Bangkok, Thailand, evaluated: “I was even more drawn by the fact that JYJ is a singer-songwriter group. It was especially meaningful because I could hear many of their self-made songs.”
For this concert, about 300 reporters from Thailand and about 400 reporters from all over Asia such as Japan, Singapore, Philippines, China, and Hong Kong, and competed vigorously to cover the event.
JYJ World Tour Concert, after its stop in Taiwan on the 23rd and in Beijing, China on the 7th of May, will tour the North American e.g., the U.S. and Canada and will decorate its finale in Pusan on June 11-12.

[NEWS] Interview with JYJ on the Thailand Concert and Jaejoong’s Directing
JYJ who Finished First World Tour: “We are Proud of Ourselves Solidifying Musically”
JYJ, who finished their first world tour, revealed their satisfaction: We are proud at ourselves solidifying musically”.
In a meeting with the press after the performance on the 3rd, they relayed their impressions as follows: “There are some parts which we wish had been better, but we are more satisfied (with this concert) than with any other concert. We think that we decorated a stage that was the most true to “JYJ.” Above all, we are so proud of the fact that we were able to create a full/complete concert with only our own songs.”
Q: Member Kim Jaejoong, interestingly (T/N: literally, “unusually”), participated as executive director. What prompted this?
Jaejoong: There is an advantage in that because I myself stand on the stage and sing, I can look after even detailed aspects which the staff (who do not themselves stand on the stage and perform) do not know. Because I thought that I could make the stage that is maximally the best since I understand both sides, I volunteered to direct. I feel fortunate that it seems that the members, too, are satisfied.

[TRANS] Full Lyrics of “Boy’s Letter” and “In Heaven”
“Boy’s Letter”
If you’re there (with me)
Perhaps you’ll be helping me stand up from up there…
To a selfish fool like me, you said “thank you” and “I love you”, making me feel like crying…
I have tears flowing that you say thank you and I love you to a selfish fool like me
Now I’ll be your sky so you can shine brightly.
Will you love me forever.
I can’t hear anything as if I’m left alone
I can’t live without you
You’re the only light to me
Here I am who only knows nothing but you
I was a coward, couldn’t say I love you
I don’t know when you laugh or cry
I have tears flowing because you said I’m waiting for you I love you.
I’ll be your sky now.
I won’t shed tears anymore.
Will you love me forever.
I can’t hear anything as if I’m left alone
I can’t live without you
You’re the only light to me
When the sound of the sky and light faces each other
I’ll send you this letter
Will you stay here with me
Trusting each other’s warmth in a coldness like sky
Being a hot sun, you being a song of a sky
So you don’t get tired when you call back your memories with your eyes closed
I thank you so much for loving and protecting me
I’ll be your sky now
(Junsu’s adlib) Now~~ (adlib again)
So I can make your heart beat~
Will you love me forever
I’m alone on a lonely road
Trusting each other’s warmth, being a hot sun
So you don’t get tired when you call back your memories with your eyes closed
I thank you so much for loving and protecting me
I’ll be your sky now
T/N: The official lyrics are not out. So these translations are by ear. There might be discrepancies. So keep that in mind. ^^

“In Heaven”
Wiping away the miracle of seeing you
i won’t be able to live on
even when i’ve escaped from every dream
the first time i saw your image
it felt like i was drowning in the raindrops of this world
from where am i watching you?
forever
even if there’s regret, there’s really no way of seeing you
memory of a shadow
moistness of a name
it’s there in that little memory
i can’t do it, really can’t do it
it’s like you’re by my side
not waiting, i’m not waiting anymore
i’ll try again to say something
i’ll try again to leave some memory
walking in the dreamscape
in my footsteps
afraid to close my eyes
don’t go, don’t leave
can’t you remain by my side
lies, all are lies
i can’t hear anything
love you, i love you
can’t you see that from one single line
love you, i love you
will you love me again
so fast, you have already clean forgotten
the tracks of finding you have also disappeared
this last path, adheres closely to my tears
again i inch a little closer (again it’s about the same)
….(i’ve also changed)
you’re not here by my side
i’m going to go now
i’m going to go
now i’m going to follow your path
follow an endless path
going everywhere to find you
i’m afraid that losing her will bring sadness
don’t go, don’t leave
can’t you remain by my side
lies, all are lies
i can’t hear anything
love you, i love you
can’t you see that from one single line
love you, i love you
will you love me again
don’t go, don’t go, can you remain here
lies, lies, i can’t hear
i love you, i love you, can you see that
i love you, i love you, will you love me
don’t go, don’t go, can you remain here
lies, lies, i can’t hear
i love you, i love you, can you see that
i love you, i love you, will you love me
don’t go, don’t go, can you remain here
lies, lies, i can’t hear
i love you, i love you, can you see that
i love you, i love you, will you love me
I beg you, come back to me
don’t go, don’t leave
can’t you remain by my side
lies, all are lies
i can’t hear anything
love you, i love you
can’t you see that from one single line
love you, i love you
will you love me again

[Fanaccount] JYJ World Wide Tour 2011 in Bangkok
Caution: It’s Super LONG!
Concert Stage
The concert stage was designed in such a way that there’s a main stage, one main extended stage and 2 side extended stages as well as a another extended portion in the middle and right at the end of it. In short, it is a huge square boxing with a cross stage in the middle. On each side of the 2nd portion of the extended stage, there’s an inflated platform which acts like a sub stage for the main stage. I saw that there were stairs that leads down to the mosh pit and for a second I thought they were going to go down to “greet” the fans. How dangerous!
