(Takahara Yoko is curently an active Korean-Japanese performance coordinator.)
Reporter: Which actor has set the beginning of the Korean musicals trend?
Yoko: It can be seen as ‘Before Kim Junsu, After Kim Junsu’. Since ‘Mozart’ created a big impact in 2010, there was a big change in the industry.
[…some parts omitted]
Reporter: Then which musical do Japanese audience want to see the most at the moment?
Yoko: The most anticipating musicals are musicals produced by EMK. ‘Mozart’ and ‘Elisabeth’ were already performed in Japan so the audience knew what these musicals are about. Above all, they are interested in whether Kim Junsu would participate in the performance or not. I think starting of like that, they gradually take interest in Korean musicals more and more. Now they even planned to go to Dae-hak street just to watch the musical ‘Washing’.

Before Kim Junsu, After Kim Junsu. It´s sooooooo impressive.
of course^^^whatever they do it will be a milestone
Reblogged this on luminarytriad.
making an impact wherever they go. That is the talent and gift of JYJ.
LOOOL So now we are in the year 2 AKJ (after Kim Junsu) and JYJ became a group in 3 BKJ. 😀 I like this new counting system. 😀
He is our Kim Junsu member of JYJ btw …
I love it that Junsu is seriously recognized in musical field. He’s setting a benchmark there. I’m so proud to know that whenever JYJ members venture out to different fields, they change people’s perspectives about their idol status. They’re not merely pretty-faced idols who bounce on stage. My boys are professional and know their capabilities. 🙂
The typical idol singer is not going to make it onto the Musical stage; Junsu is not your typical idol singer, his talents go far beyond that 😀
Reblogged this on dreamalexia.
1) At Shanghai solo 6/7 press conference, mass media asked Junsu if consider playing a role regarding actor breaks through time span ( eg Jaejoong’s Dr. Jin & Yoochun’s Rooftop Prince) , which role he wants to play?
Junsu replied he wanted to become Mozart, and experienced this legend man’s lonely & sorrow mind.
Producers, please prepare a movie or TV drama for Mozart or Elizabeth, this surely a blockbuster!!
2) Broadcast across the nations, sell to website portals, this is far more cost effective. ( *** sorry to say, musical performance is restricted by locations , timing & audience volume, many interested viewers unable to watch in person. Also. the investment return is relatively lower for the organizer) 😛
Junsu & musical teams are capable to target 600million people, just fine tune, similar effort, reward is million times MULTIPLIED.
3) If want to perform live, Grand Orchestra Halls available in Beijing & Shanghai, millions of quality audience, both local or foreigners ( these two cities foreigners are global top elites work & live in PRC now) 🙂
Japan, Korea , Shanghai, so frequent planes, 1 to 2 hrs traveling, so convenient! Today RMB & Japan dollars can directly spending in each countries, no need change into US dollars before spending, this boosts many business already. ( so pls cjes, bring Japan viewers to PRC, even Junsu is not able to perform in Japan )
4) Korea organizers can earn bigger profit due to RMB’s stronger exchange rate, while the production cost is lower. (profit almost 25%~30% more than other regions just by currency alone ; Japan production cost is too high, despite of the exchange rate.
( only profit making musical can survive well nowadays)
5) Must keep on rapport perform with quality artists / musical teams, this ensure Junsu fighting spirit, DO NOT try doing things alone in these days. It is ” dangerous”,
whatever a man have succeeded, he was helped by someone.
Especially Jaejoong & Yoochun will focus on their individual activities. Even other Asian superstars, they need other stars to show up and cheer along at their tour promotion.
***Shanghai solo after impact is spreading like wave tides, keep focus on this BIGGER, realized and nearer market, hope Junsu’s career more stable & rewarding than before. His effort to struggle, and all the production cost really really moved global fans, fans are reasonable,
wish his revenue equivalent to his popularity & talents this time.
