To place the term ‘Actor’ in front of Kim Jaejoong’s name was a bit unbelieving at first. The handsome features and the almost perfect performances on stage, his overwhelming charisma is able to capture the audiences within minutes. Perhaps you might have mistaken ‘Hero Jaejoong’ is all what Kim Jaejoong can offer. Thinking of the look of the real-life Kim Jaejoong with his poised standing, it gave a indescribable extraordinary feeling. Collaborating with other actors is also a problem. Will he able to put down his strong presence while standing among them and will he be able to digest the character naturally? The most curious of all is, ‘how far does Kim Jaejoong intend to walk on this acting route?’
Acting, is something one had to leave his shame away and to meet abruptly with a side of oneself that one has not realised before. It is a thing that needs a lot of determination. Drama ‘Protect The Boss’ is the immediate answer to these doubts. (As his first drama ‘Sunao Ni Narenakute’ is a Japanese drama , thus it will not be discussed here.) Acting as the chaebol successor Cha Mu Won, he was somehow stiff though it was unsure where went wrong. But as he started to indulge in Cha Mu Won’s charm, Kim Jaejoong’s expression starts to become even more gentle. As an actor, Kim Jaejoong is still filled with charisma as the ‘Hero Jaejoong’ on stage. The uncertain accent and enunciation during the first half of the drama gradually stabilised and gained its own piece of success. Most importantly, he as a new actor, showed that he really did his best effort. In the recently ended saeguk drama ‘Dr Jin’, Kim Jaejoong perfectly completed his own share of work.
Junsu Xia caused furor when he came with his band JYJ, but now he debuts solitary on September 10th at the Teatro Caupolican. “Fans around the world love powerful, sexy performances with an unique style”, thinks the young man of 25 years old about k-pop, that took over the West.
Besides cellphones and TVs, everyday Korea exports a little more their culture: singers, soap operas and food conquer the West.
In Chile, korean restourants -mainly in the Patronato area- are huge. But the asian presence is what made urban tribes irrupt, adictted to K-pop or Korean pop.
In fact, “Santiago se paraliza por el Kpop” (Santiago paralizes because of K-pop) is the motto of the flashmob (urban intervention) with which fans of this genre have taken Santiago by surprise with a dance with the new CD of Junsu Xia (key artist of this moment) to give their message.
-parts not related to Junsu were omitted-
With an androgen look, part of a milimetrically calculated esthethic, and catchy music, the pop singer with an unpronounceable name of 25 years old, debuts in the country as a solo artist.
The also actor and ex-member of the legendary TVXQ, comes back after he visited as a part of JYJ in March last year, when fervent fans were awake for 2 days waiting for them.
Here, in his first interview, via e-mail, before he comes to Chile.
Junsu: “Korea has become a leader of global culture”
Junsu, the absolute king of pop in his country. And he remembers very well his last visit to Chile: “Chilean fans are very passionate and energetic”.
—How would you describe your new album “Tarantallegra”? Your videos are very effective, How important is your look?
—The title motive was “Elisabeth” musical. When I interpreted the character of the “Death”, that is neither a human nor a God, but something in between, I imagined a character with a dreaming-like image. When I heard the word Tarantallegra, a spell that makes people dance, I picture the image of a wizard.
—The music has two aspects: listen and see. That’s why the video was released a day before the song. The concept of this album is “unequalled” and I tried to distinguish between music and fashion. I did the best I could to create a perfect performance by adding modernity to the choreography and using extreme hairstyle, make-up and clothes.
—The music is a mix of pop and big orchestra. In this English album, I tried to add an asian taste to it by adding the kkwaenggwari (traditional korean gong) in the orchestra. Read More →
