Kim Junsu is bringing his music magic to the Americas and Europe.
On July 16, C-Jes Entertainment revealed Kim Junsu would be touring North America, South America and Europe in a world tour with plans to stop at two or three cities per continent.
The agency shared, “From the beginning we targeted not only Korea but also Asia with Kim Junsu’s solo album and aimed for abroad with the music video. We are in the middle of a successful Asia tour but have continued to receive an outpouring of requests from the Americas and other places abroad and we have thus decided to embark on a world tour.”
The agency also added plans for a new album saying, “With the world tour we are currently preparing a repackaged album. This new album will include an English single targeting the world and its music video will be produced in the U.S. We cannot disclose who yet but renowned staff members in America will be taking part [in the album].”
The dates and locations of the upcoming world tour will be revealed in the coming weeks.

Wonderful news!!! So glad for Junsu!
But, please leave time for JYJ joint concerts as well!
yaappp …… we here miss JYJ together rite??
I just found that ” Hong Kong ” is the last stop in his asia tour …. hope cjes will provide some info. about date venue etc.
is it possible that YC is probably working on JYJ’s album? 😛
Of course ^^ i think this is just while jaejoong is still having his drama. while the boys are acting, junsu who didnt hv any musical would be left with nothing but to do this.
ohh i forgot to express my initial reaction:
HOLY MACARONI!!!!!!!!! YAY for the repackaged album!! Yay for English solo songs!!! Yay for WORLD TOUR!!! YAyyyyy!!!! will.definitely.buy.this.
YAYYYY!!! *champagne anyone?* (^o^)/ ****** throw the confetti~ where’s the parteyyyhh
Knew I saved that week of holidays for a reason!
🙂
IKR! For some reason I just couldn’t make myself use those days; I kept thinking… just in case! What if…!
Wahhhhh no way!!!! Ahhhhh :)! Yesss!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY, Junsu! You’ve rocked Asia, now go ahead on and rock the whole world!!
Nice isn’t it? 🙂
@ lilibaiyu
I’m seriously prayiing for a stop in L.A. Are you ready, dear friend?! We’ll go together!!
@Eljay
I think you may just finally persuade me!! :-))))
Woo Hoo, we’d have sooo much fun! Since I’d be driving north from S.D. I sincerely hope not on a Friday night like their past concerts. I dislike L.A. traffic immensely and most especially on that day. Although, I’ll take anything I can get if Junsu comes to L.A.!
OOh, I just remembered that all my vacation time starts over with the new school year starting….sweet! 😀
@lilibaiyu
Ah hah! I knew you weren’t immune forever! Avoidance is not always a plus you know. 😉
@eljay
Whatever you can do to get her to the concert do it! 🙂
@butterfliesarefree2
Mission, make it go! 🙂
If I need be to get her there, I will provide door-to-door service. 😉
You guys are lucky because I know the boys won’t come to Houston ever! >__> Last time I had to fly to L.A. for JYJ concert, no regret whatsoever!
@Angie
I do feel blessed to live on the west coast. I wouldn’t regret it either!! Seeing them perform live is an experience unlike no other concert I’ve ever been to.
YES YES!! I hope he comes to the UK!!
O.M.G. So happy to hear this!!! I\’m in the U.S – this will be the first chance I\’ve had to see JYJ – can\’t wait to see Junsu perform live! This information just made my ….. year! XD
ヽ(*⌒∇⌒*)ノ::・’゚☆。.::・’゚★。.::・’゚☆。ワーイ!! this is superb!! am sure this is gonna be awesummmmm
hohoho……my prediction is really became true……Be ready for all of Junsu/JYJ fans who lives in America and Europe !!!!!

No, I don’t think so. They mean a newly re-packaged Junsu “Tarantallegra” album with a new English language song and accompanying video.
@lili
is that so……then i am gonna be waiting for another superb MV like tarantallegra from our Su-ie ^^
waw.. daebakkk..
really proud to be ur fans
fighting!!!
please let it be close to where I am, I wanna see him live
Mexico!!?? 😀
Still praying that he will come to Singapore.
Omg this is awesome!!! He’s coming to the States?!? Let it be close, please please please!!!
Junsu, anywhere on the East Coast is fine with me. Hint, hint…NYC, Philly, DC…I got you covered dude. 🙂 I’m not picky. Ok, if it’s Philly, that is even better. 😉
East Coast would be GREAT!!! What about Atlanta?! I know it’s a long shot, but they’ve got that huge airport and you can fly there easily from ANYWHERE!!! 😀 (Also a substantial Korean/Korean-American population.)
The only problem with a location like Atlanta, there really is no population pull. The mid-Atlantic/NE region has way more population to pull from – by plane, train (Atlanta’s station is a joke), bus, and car. This region is the most populous in the entire country. Atlanta is just too far away. Trust me, I know the area, my father’s family is from there, I went to school there. There is nothing there but Atlanta, not cost effective.
i hope Junsu come to NYC or New Jersey i would be so happy since i like in NYC
No more JYJ album?
i heard October ..
@JYJhidupGw
october? really looking forward to it 😀
i hope this Junsu worldwide tour doesnt effect JYJ’s album .. Ammiin …
Hi, obviously Junsu worldwide tour shouldn’t be regarded as a factor affecting JYJ’s album.
Instead, he is the ONLY ONE now performs as singer , composer, dancer, musical & spreading JYJ names throughout the Asia tour.
Even after his Asia tour & returned Korea , other members still filming in Korea dear.
JYJ’s trio album long been “under construction” is no choice at all.
Lastly, Junsu needs to earn a living as well. If nearest markets can be realized, who craves to leave home that long?
*** Junsu’s musicals were not aimed at earning big bucks, Xia Tarantallegra Asia tour only 35,000 audience in 5 regions ,
recent kim hyun joong’s Japan concert already over 60, 000 ppl, not yet included those from China.
We feel so sorry for Junsu. He has no drama or movie to promote at Korea or neighboring regions ,
unlike JJ and Yoochun , whose fame so roaring in China now. In 1~2 years, the “income gap” alone will be so big to bear.
We support JYJ core music career, and their individual side development.
so if Junsu is going to tour the world, does that mean there will be no JYJ activities in the near future?
So can just imagine touring North America, South America and Europe ( at least three cities per continent) , so maybe let’s just accept that to see JYJ together on a concert stage is not on the calendar yet.
that means… no new album too? 😦 but I though cjes made a statement that there will be an album coming before the end of the year?
We will just wait and see … 😦
😦 *crossing my fingers and toes here*
however I will make sure I watch Junsu’s performance!! 😀
now its just july … jaejoong is busy with drama n movie .. junsu is also busy with his album and tour, so we can hear some news of yoochun for sure like a drama,movie or some fanmeet (there was a news that Chinese fans wants yoochun fanmeet in china and signed petition )
So in the year end there will be a new album for sure .. i think its worldwide album as cjes stated before and jaejoong said in “The day” movie fantalk.. when a fan asked when will you release new korean album he said next year so after new worldwide album a korean album … now there are single activities but i can see many jyj activities coming in the near future. 😀 sry 4 bad english
well let’s hope you are right! 😀 can’t wait for any JYJ activity.. 🙂
yeah ^^ keep our heads up yo. Junsu moving up is not a bad thing for JYJ. Perhaps this also means that jaechun has receive a good offer ^^ tho i must admid, i also starve for jyj album, but lets just be happy for the boys for their individual achievements.
Junsu’s tour for this is going to be in August…..and Jae’s movie won’t be out until September….and I’m sure Junsu will be done in September if not by September….I think after that JYJ will focus on their album as 3 after that…And from what the boys have been tweeting and etc…They already have some songs prepared, so a JYJ album by the end of this year is not impossible. ^__^
…Especially since Junsu is going to the US this week to record the new English song and MV. (Things are going not so slow.)
I love your optimism! I’m definitely not ruling out the JYJ album by year end. We all know how they love to spring surprises on us fans.
And congrats to my dear Junsu! After the success of the Asia tour, i’m not surprised that there will be one for the US and Europe. In fact it would be foolish not to. Strike while the iron is hot. If not now then when? The world is waiting!
I’m interested in know how you know all this? Also, JYJ is not going to disappoint their fans. Whether they release an album this year or next, they care and are working hard to make everyone happy! I think you’re right… it’s not impossible!
2012 has been a VERY GOOD year for JYJ!! let’s hope it will continue to do so 😀
Daebak!!! this man cannot be stop..he attack us like a virus!! but of coz its a good virus. proud of u Junsu!!!
Awesome news!!!! But…. this mean no JYJ album this year?

[NEWS] 120716 JYJ’s Kim Junsu to Tour Americas, Europe and Release Repackaged Album
OMG … OMG … our JYJ’s Kim Junsu really really going worldwide .. so proud of him .. OMG .. OMG .. read from my TL there will be 8 cities .. OMG .. and new MV ??? OMG .. OMG .. still 9.45 am in my office and i got this heart attack .. next big question is How about our JYJ ?? JYJ comeback?? JYJ new album ?? kapan … kapan .. kapannnnnn ???????
please, please, please, please come to Florida.
I would love to see that! tho i’m saving for a JYJ conceert. I would not be able to stop myself from going. This Chunsa is super happy for JS.
Junsuuu.. I proud to you as always..
Daebakk…
so no jyj album and tour now, only junsu’s?
i’m happy for junsu, but really?they said jyj’s going to have an album and a tour before this year ends and the start of their recording was supposed to be june ryt?wth’s happening?they aren’t saying anything about a jyj album anymore..
Actually, I’m not going to be one bit surprised to read that Chunnie has been cast in a new drama in the next week or so….
Then let’s have Jaejoong’s album after Dr. Jin and Jackal since Junsu’s tour will take months .
as i recall they did say jae’s going to have one and also chun ryt?until when is jae’s taping?
I think Dr. Jin will be done by August, I’m really hoping Jae learns a lot from Junsu, to compose songs for himself and so on.
or Yoochun and Jeajoong will concentrate working on JYJ album and taping will be in September…and finish October.
Whatever they’ll be doing solo or group works…I’ll be waiting…SO PROUD TO DAY WITH JUNSU….AND YESTERDAY NIGHT WITH JEAJOONG….YOOCHUN…WITH RTP. I’M PROUD TO BE JYJ FAN!!!! 😀
@sempoi
It couldn’t be a JYJ album if only Yoochun and Jaejoong will concentrate on JYJ album and taping on September , most probably Junsu’s tour will be still going on that month …
Reblogged this on dreamalexia.
MUST SAVE ALL THE MONEY O_O
dying here!!! I had given up all hopes of ever seeing this tour live….. yay! (^_^)/
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy :’D hahahaha best news hahahahahhahahaha *tearteyes*
If Junsu can come to more than one city here(east coast or west) I will try to go, Yay!!! I feel you @yukkiluv 😀
Mmhmm! I will be at this concert no matter what!
*^* I’m sure he’ll come back to Peru!! I’m sure!! >3<
yeah… thats my prediction tooo…
Reblogged this on luminarytriad.
Does anyone know how long between the announcement of dates and the actual concert?
I’m sure when the information is available, CJeS will post it. Have a little patience. 🙂
OMG! I’m so heppy that more many of i-fans will be able to see Junsu’s awesome live like we did in Asia legs.
Now my target is JYJ live..I hope there will be good news on that too.
yeah me too… JYJ LIVE will be one of the best concerts ever
This is amazing news. I’ve been so fortunate to see JYJ perform twice in L.A. and I fully admit that I’m greedy where they’re concerned. To see Junsu perform his latest album would just be “the cat’s meow!” ♥♥♥
Wow! Junsu’s coming to America! Now I have to practice my dance moves! Maybe if I practice real hard, I can be a back up dancer! Taratallegra all the way, Xiah! World domination! Fighting!
Oops, I forgot–Xiah, please come back to Los Angeles, California! I I missed JYJ when they came to the Galen Center. I was not a JYJ fan yet–JYJ came to L.A. in February or March and I became a JYJ fan in May 2012. Los Angeles has a HUGE Korean American community–I’m not Korean, but there are MANY Koreans in California! Especially young Koreans. I think JYJ SOLD OUT the last time they were here. Come back Xiah–your fans are dying to see you! World domination!
OMG YES PLEASE!!
Go get them Junsu! Awesome News!!!
Please god almighty please have a concert somewhere near to me *gets on knees and begs* T_T
Besides that congrats SuSu ^^ I hope you have success in your world tour and i wait impatiently for the repackaged album :p
Reblogged this on Just a Girl… and commented:
This news made me EXTREMELY HAPPY tonight. Junsuuuuuuu~! ❤ ❤ ❤
Yes! He’s finally coming to the U.S. I’m so excited. He totally blew me away when I saw him in concert last year. Can’t wait.
Please make it to the New York, New Jersey area in the near future…pls, pls, pls.
WOW! HOLY TAMOLY! 🙂 Congratulations Junsu!
And again,.Junsu is taking an incredible leap of faith with this new project in an effort to bring his solo music to us. Again we see Junsu having the courage to step over the abyss, and fearlessly go places he has never gone before. This is not a been there done that for him, even though he has performed in these markets before…this is new territory, because he is facing it as a solo artist. It seems his life “mantra” has truly become… You only live once, this is your only life… ….Junsu is truly SEIZING THE DAY!
Junsu I am so proud of you. I am as always in awe of your boundless energy and amazing zest for life. It’s clear that behind the scenes you are always, prepping and planning your next venture and most of all creating music…….. you are Mozart…I AM MUSIC is branded on your brain for sure. I am glad to be alive to enjoy all you want to share with us in terms of your music.
So no matter where if it’s the US east or west coast, South America>>>> I will be at one of these concerts if it kills me! 🙂
Again… Congratulations! Kim Junsu .. you are one very blessed young man. 🙂
Awesome
ok this is too exciting to be true! please be close to me too! save for it NOW! he sure listens to his fans, does he not?
Junsu, we’re happy for you , at least your 2nd half yearly time table all filled this way.
And your fan meeting on 18-Sept at Jeju Island no change ? 😛
We truly truly truly hope, after traveling across the miles and oceans…the reward will not less than that already offered in Asia markets. (nothing offensive, Euro zone quite unstable, US…. ).
And cjes ,while Junsu is touring worldwide, pls seriously rapport with PRC entertainment leaders, pave the success road for Junsu in PRC 13 million ppl markets!! Repacking should include both West and East markets. Many artists not living in PRC, can enjoy huge income just by focus at this market. ( many Taiwan, HK, SG, Malaysia stars and superstars ).
Junsu is well qualified to cross over with many other Asia superstars in many aspects. Pls don’t make him always look so “detached ” from the market, especially JYJ as trio this year is not possible. Junsu MUST be featured with friendly superstars to bring out ” friendly, legendary, humble images ” in PRC market.
@JYJ global listener I always find your comments to be interesting. What does PRC stand for?
i think it stands for People Republic of China.
Hi shimclover,
Thanks you’re correct.
Hi flower,
Oh just our casual opinion, thanks for your message.
PRC is People’s Republic of China. Yoochun & Jaejoong with dramas & movies impact, they have already taken this giant markets.
If Junsu not penetrated in this realized market, in 1 to 2 years times, the “gaps” will be to large to bear.
We cheers for Junsu, and JYJ members.
Thank you !@Shimclover and JYJ global listener for your reply to my question!!!
Oh, I see it coming… he’s going to tour Europe the time when I’m actually in Asia (Japan) in October #_# Hopefully not, wanna see him (them) too ^^
But anyways, YAY for touring these three continents additionally \(^_^)/
We have the same problem I think 😦 Why can’t he come to Europe right now, then I could see him before I go to Japan T_T
Maybe some miracle will happen and he (they) will tour Japan in October, wouldn’t that be great ^^ ~ a girl can dream, right? ^^
Who knows ^ ^
Wait what, Junsu’s going to tour the U.S too? C-JeS, announce the dates early so that we can make plans!
Just a side note, boys, I love whatever you do, but please prepare for a JYJ album this year as well. I’ve been waiting for it for so long~~!!
I pray so much for him to come to FRANCE ;~; We didn’t get to see JYJ concert last year, so I really really hope he’ll come for his solo concert >.< Jebal Junsu !!!!!
By the way, I'm happy he'll do a solo World Tour, he deserves it so much, and it shows how popular he is thanks to his talent ^^
wonder this repacked album would look like? ^^
definitely will buying this one too. hopely will contain dvd behind the MV making. :p
OMG I am always happy to hear awesome news about anyone of JYJ! I am so freakin happy for Junsu, that I cannot stop smiling so hard!!!!!! I was praying that he would come to America. I hope he comes some where that I can go see him. But even if I do not see him I am so happy that things are going so well for him!!!! I cannot wait to hear the repackaged album!!! So excited!!!!!
I’m so proud ^^
This is absolutly amazing news!! But he’ll probably come to Europe while I’m in Japan, like with JYJ last year, just my luck T_T But kyaa, he’s gonna release an english title track and music video!
yayyyyyyy~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i’m happy for him, Junsu is hard worker person
n hope JYJ also release their new album soon…. i miss their voices together
Go, Junsu!
how come hk is always in the list of asia tour, but never announce any information abt it><
It takes time for thorough preparation..so whichever comes 1st, still be really happy <=-P go go go !!!
OmG, i am curious about which city he will hold his concert in USA. hahahah, no matter which city it is, I definitely will be there showing my support, JS~~~~~~~~~~~~, omg. now i am so excited. I missed their US showcase last time and will never let this happen again~ Hope there will soon be another concert from JYJ.
Congrats Junsu!! Hope you have a successful tour bb!^^ XDD
when rafa mendez tweeting about jyj’s picture i already predict that something will be happen…yeah that is junsu’s eropa concert.that will be the first koreans solo held concert in eropa and america.
OMG I really hope he comes to Toronto, Canada! Gosh, we’re dying for more k-pop concerts here in Canada!! It will be sold out so quickly!! JYJ went to B.C last time..but I couldn’t see them TT C’mon Canadian Cassies!! WE NEED SOME XIAH LOVE HERE! So desperate!!
As much as I am excited by this news , all I can think of is the verdict on 19 th 😦
I have to go!!! I’m going to go!!!!! I don’t care anything. This time I’m going.
Congratulations Junsu! Will there be a JYJ concert as well? I hope that you come close to my city.
my very first ignorant thought: no! junsu! if you’re going to release another repackaged album, you should tell us beforehand (?). T__T argh… xD
congrats anyway! :3
YESSS!!!! Roadtrip anyone?
Which eu city does he come to vist???
i’m really really sure that Chille must be in the list .. last night #ChileDeservesXiaTour no 2 in TrenTop Chile Twitter .. and Kim Junsu no 8 or something( sorry i forget) .. morover Noix (JYJ promotour in SA) also talk about it ..
How do we buy tickets?!!
AND ON A SIDE NOTE>>> Back In K-POPVILLE SOUTH KOREA……
Junsu is #4 in GOAN National Physical Album Rankings for the FIRST HALF of 2012
Junsu achieved this without using any of the STANDARD K-POP MARKETING PROMOTION AVENUES. The other groups spent MILLIONS of dollars on pre-release promotion coupled with the fact that they were allowed to appear on every, talk show, game show, music show one could possibly appear on in SK to talk about their albums. And even with ALL THE HYPE MONEY.. they spent.. the small margin of difference really makes one wander, where Junsu would be if he was allowed to promote on a level playing field with the others.
BRAVO JUNSU! THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE AND ONE DAY IT WILL ALL BE REVEALED!
