Not only Justin Bieber fans flocked to buy tickets. These days the same thing was done by fans of JYJ, who will offer the first Korean concert in Chile, On March 9th.
SANTIAGO.- There are several types of phenomenon: For one side are those who invade radios, crowds and sold out tickets in a couple of days, as happened in Chile with Marc Anthony in 2008 or Bieber Justin in 2011, to cite just two examples.
But there are others that are grown outside the visible scope, and whose bursting allowed to discover the existence of a sustained movement, massive and, above all, very faithful.
This is what happens these days with the Korean band JYJ, who announced its debut in Chile for March 9th at the Teatro Caupolican. This news allowed to reveal the impact that has in Chile the Pop manufactured in Korea, known as K-Pop.
With a range that goes from dance to R&B, the sound of many of these groups did not differ significantly from many other boy bands, but no doubt the Eastern factory delivers unique and distinctive factor.
The effect then is stronger in K-Pop fans, who also tend to be consumers of anime and other elements of pop culture in Asia, with a fascination and loyalty so marked, allowing them to identify all the factors that is associated with an urban tribe
Therefore, the same scenes that were on the first day of ticket sales for the last show of Justin Bieber were found this Friday on the Outside of “Eurocentro”, where hundreds of fans flocked to ensure obtaining a JYJ’s concert ticket.
In total there are more than 1,500 tickets being shipped within two days, with values ranging from 20,000 to 70,000 Chilean pesos.
JYJ is a trio of singers comprised by Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu, who began their activities in the most representative group of KPOP, TVXQ. They left their management suing them and started working with figures like Kanye West and Rodney Jerkins. With them recorded their debut album “The Beginning”, which extracted the single “Ayy Girl”.

It’s not me complaining JYJ appears in the news, but why always compare to Bieber?
I don’t think it has anything to do with music or talent. But even I have to admit, the Bieber following is strong, I think they are just comparing their popularity and loyalty of their respective followings.
Bieber is the biggest Pop phenomenon in Latin America. So they being compared to him has nothing to do with the type of music or talent, more about the craze and popularity. Is a compliment.
why always compare JYJ with bieber? *sigh*
btw i spot fanboys XD
take easy girls !!Justin Bieber is that popular
I dont like Bieber or his music but everyone know he is popular and a phenomenon and his tickets always are in great demand.( we can not deny it)
this is not an offense in this context.
well ~ u’re right . as long they don’t compare JYJ and him in term of music, im okay with it. i don’t hate bieber nor like him, i just hate comparing lol
I spy with my little eye…three fanboys!! ❤
Imagine,
U can giggle ling with those fan boys about JYJ’s cuteness, their songs & dances…
and even their fight with SM.
Haha sound like a fun meeting^^
Oh believe me, there’s a lot us out there!!!
@JYJfanboy
is there many fan boys. most of my male friends are oblivious to k pop and the rest are jealous over the boys.
LOL… basing from the videos I saw during the Japan concerts and fan videos from Europe and Latin America seems like there’s a lot us, not as plenty as we wish but still a hand full.
I love boys who love our boys!!
three? i only can spot two! where’s the other one? LOL / waldohuntmode
hehe, the third was hard to find, girls are crowding him out.
i can see 4 guys eheh XP
me too. me too
There were so many more that day *–*!!
jyj must have more bigger arena with more ticket sale。how cen so less?
Justin Beiber has a good vocal, and jyj is the same. And though jyj is just starting their long way to shine as jyj themselves, both are worldwide artists.
Couldnt agree more
i wonder how he’s gonna sound like after 3-4 years… i don’t mean to offend, but i seriously think his voice is still like pure young boys whose voice hadn’t broken…
JYJ started from that too. 😉
Bieber’s music is not that obnoxiously bad.. he has a following who likes his music the same with JYJ who has a following who loves their music while others will say that it’s not their cup of tea..
but bieber being so popular and a household name.. am happy that the phenomenon JYJ is bringing to South America is comparable to that.. I pray one day JYJ gets to bring home a Grammy!
@jenknight18 A Grammy would be super duper awesome! JYJ will be the 1st Korean artist to get that!
*nodding*
No complaints here…..trust me it could have worst.
1500? Come-on Chile fans! Take your whole family to the concert if you have to. 1500 for that venue is too small.
agree, i am surprised i really though that chili had lotsf of k pop jyj fans
worried worried but lets be positief
But they annunced the concert on wensday and they started to sell tickets on friday…i think for a two
days selling for a concert that was annunced so recently is awesome
This is only the beginning!! VIP tichets are all sold, and there are still 2 months to the show … a lot of fans caught by surprise this news, and thank goodness i work and I have my VIP ❤
JYJ I see you soon, Jaejoong I see you soon!! @.@
WHY TO COMPARE JYJ WITH BIEBER?!
JYJ IS BETTER! 😦
YAY! That’s good. I bet everyone’s so excited to see JYJ.
So did JYJ sell out the venue like Marc Anthony and Beiber or what? I’m confused.
the fanboy in white cap, i like you LOLOL
/JYJ you’re a good job
1500??? too little….
in Japan 80.000 the ticketc is gone………….
1.500 in 2 days it´s not a bad thing… and japan it´s like their house! You can´t compare that LOL!
I am Sorry Guys…. heheheh….:)
You can’t compare… they were promoting for years in Japan. Here in Chile normal people doesn’t even know there are singers in Asia… and if you tell them you like that music, they look at you like you are weird… lol So believe me, JYJ selling this much of tickets and getting this kind of attention even make the promoter to be surprised!!
If I tell you “A Chilean band is going to perform in Japan”, you and japaneses would say “and who are they? I have never heard of them before”. Well, that’s the kind of reaction I get everday.
And is not only 1.500 tickets. Is more, cause they are only talkin about one place of sale.
@stella.. well,u can’t compare japan and the latin america. jyj as db5k spent almost of their times to promote like crazy in japan and asia for the last 7 years. while KPOP was a small niche in the west. i think they’re doing well right now (they’re just one artist but have that much audience, compare it with SM TOWN who have sooo many artist but the number of total audience was like, 3times of JYJ’s? ?? LOL )
besides it’s just two days, give the latin america fans times ^^
Yeahh.. I am Sorry… Just imagine.. JYJ in ASia… heheh…
Maybe its not same…
I am Sorry Guys…
I open Youtube, peruvian fans Make same video to SM Town to make they come on their Country….
@XIAHTOD25: Baby, don’t make fan war between boys. You like our jyj, so you see jyj is the best in your eyes. But you shouldn’t say jyj is better any group/singer, because taste is not something to be said ‘better’. Is going fishing better than playing chess?, something like that… Beiber’s fans can see beiber is the best too.
@jenknight18: jyj and a grammy? You think too far! But I like that ^^! *start to dream* The man who has clear objective is a strong man ^~
Jyj ah, have a good time in chile and peru! Fighting!
calm down girl!no war fans! i said just my opinion!
is no need to blame! here we are all free to expressing our opinion!
@lovelyjaetop
To be honest it’s really doesn’t matter for me how many ticket that has sold till now, is it gonna be sold out or not… Because for me the important things is our boys and jyjers can create more new memories together,like jaejoong said that everything need a process so let’s take step by step first
Before i felt iritated every time our boys get compare to bieber but after i thinking again for a while i think it’s okay because it’s meant that our boys has been recognize now
Yes, jyj is just starting to sing as jyj for about 1 year until now, they have a very hard long way ahead to go… So I don’t want to think they are famous already, I like to think that they are hard-working and make good music and good drama/musical… We go with them not because they are famous… To be honest, our jyj is not as famous as lady gaga, briney spears or justin beiber. For example, mv ‘Mistletoe’ of beiber has over 50 million views on youtube, mv ‘Get out’ of jyj just has about 3 million views. But in my heart, jyj’s songs (like empty, found you, in heaven, get out, boy’s letter, too love, for you it’s seperation..) are always the most wonderful songs in life. Things with jyj is just starting. It may take some time…
Yes, I agree with you.
the tickets were put out for selling really fast, i really think more will sell till the concert… maybe there are lots of fans who come from other distant places and they have to consider a lot of things… money etc.
I love latin american fans. You are so far but still give much love to our jyj always. Thank you so much. The weather in your place is 3 months sooner than in asia, right? When jyj comes to you in March, it may be in late summer… An exciting summer…
The Bieber comparison doesn’t bother me because I don’t think this article is comparing the two saying they are same style. What bothers me is the way the title attributes JYJ’s success to Kpop. Without Kpop it would be harder for JYJ to have a following, but JYJ are responsible for many of those fans finding Kpop. They found JYJ or DBSK, then looked around to other artists.
I just don’t like the way everybody takes the credit away from JYJ, maybe without even realizing it.
And how Kpop excludes them but then everybody wants to include them in Kpop whenever they do anything great.
Great news!
🙂
