The group JYJ – from Asia to the USA to Europe… A Spain-Germain tour.
The group JYJ, composed of Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu, gave their first concert in Europe.
On October, 29th, JYJ lauched the first concert of their European tour in Spain. After Spain, the second performance was held in Berlin, in the Tempodrom, where the winner of “Britain’s got talent” recently held a concert.
CJ Entertainment (C-JeS), who is responsible for JYJ’s management, said that after the release of JYJ’s worldwide album, there’s been so many love calls from Eastern and Northern Europe that it was impossible for them to not perform there.
C-JeS admits that “the choice of the cities for the European tour was a strategy to reach Northern, Western and Eastern Europe”. And we can understand them!
The promoter of the Spain concert explains that the reason for JYJ’s popularity in Europe is their particular music that fits their European fans’ taste, but also because they produced and album in english, and most of all because of their great abilities as live performers.
JYJ added that they were “very impressed and happy to prepare for a performance in a new city with fans that they had never met before” and also showed their determination to “produce the best performance with the best team because of the global expectations”, and hence successfully completed their concert.
This wasn’t JYJ’s first performance outside of Korea. After the production of their worldwide album “The Beginning” in 2010 with the best american producers such as Kanye West, they’ve kept trying to meet their fans across the world through a worldwide tour that included ten cities, and through fanmeetings abroad.
“In addition to their foreign activitied and the production of a korean album after a long time, they’ll make all the Korean and international fans happy.”
JYJ members successfully had individual activities in addition to their group activities. Kim Jaejoong played a director in a drama that received good reviews from the critics, “Protect the Boss”, where we could notice is flawless acting for this role. Park Yoochun received non-stop love calls from dramas since he played in “Seongkyunkwan Scandal” and “Miss Ripley”. As for Kim Junsu, he acted in “Mozart” and “Tears of Heaven” in which he displayed his talent while selling the tickets out.
In September, JYJ started the national promotion of their first official Korean album, “In Heaven”, about one year after the release of their worldwide album, “The Beginning”.
C-JeS described this new album as made of songs previously presented during the group’s latest tour, and that were made by the members themselves. The members are eagerly waiting for the moment when they’ll be able to perform in front of their domestic fans after such a long wait. The title-track of the new album, “In Heaven”, is a sad R’n’B ballad which was published by Kim Jaejoong. The album includes “Get Out” and “You’re” among a total of ten songs.

I’m just so happy that they were able to meet the fans in other parts of the world. ^^
Even the i-fans are eagerly waiting for their domestic appearances but didn’t happen. D:
I hope they break the one tv appearance per year.
which reminds me… the drama awards from the stations are coming right? I wonder if they can make an appearance since they participated in OSTs. I hope Jaejoong and Yoochun gets nominated… /totally went out of topic lol
“totally went out of topic lol” – this is another one reason why I’m addicted to GAPP – LOL.

Ditto to all the above. These boys really are a miracle. Here’s why: to know anything much about them at all is to LOVE them. That’s how they are. It’s quite extraordinary and I must say, I’ve never seen anything quite like it.

Me neither my dear. These men are incredibly wonderful human beings and excellent artists. I never met someone like them before. They’re truly unique and lovely to the bone. 🙂
Even though a lot of fans didn’t like JYJ’s World Album compared to their In Heaven one, you gotta admit it was a smart move on our JYJ’s part!
Because of their english songs, we fans can at least understand them. The main goal was to please and connect with us more. And right so, they did! They also have an upperhand, because they are the only korean group I know thus far (other than 2ne1 whose album is in the making, big bang and some of taeyangs singles) that made a complete English album and promoting it through a world tour!
And they get to learn more english too. What’s better than that?
PS. Im admitting that ayyy girl is wayy better live! Esp with that added harmonization in the begging, su’s sexy moves, chun’s smooth rap, and jj’s adlibs
I love almost the entire album of “The Beginning.” Like, 6 out of 8, though I’m not sure the “Intro” track even counts. I almost never like Intro’s.
I agree though, being able to easily sing along with the songs has greatly increased my enjoyment of their music. I love their Korean songs too, but it’s definitely not as fun to sing, “Huh nun nun nun nun nun chana, huh nun nun nun nun nun nun nalkaji! Oh!” lolol I love that song! (That’s what I sound like singing “I’ll Protect You.”) ^_^
A nice introduction to JYJ ^__^
“love calls”..hehehehe..cuutee~~
tis’ true though..an idol does bank on the fans’ love to survive..
it sounds kinda desperate actually..but jyj are ARTISTES..this ‘love’ is on a much higher level..with respect and their own freedom to pursue their dreams. ^^
