The making of JYJ Kim Jaejoong’s first movie ‘Jackal is Coming’ which was sold before the Japanese release is getting a good response from the public.
According to Oricon charts, which is Japan’s most prestigious chart, the making DVD starring Kim Jaejoong and Song Jihyo ranked no 4 (aggregate sales from April 22 to 28) in the weekly DVD movies chart.

“Kim Jae Joong, the most popular Korean artist in Japan …” this put a big SMILE on my face .. 🙂
same here!!! 🙂
me too 🙂
(but unfortunately we can’t see a trace of Jaejoong from that 2-min MBC documentary of Tokyo Dome con, lol)
I have a feeling, between Jae, Chun and Su, SM fears Jaejoong the most.
(It was just a very short clip but I was struck how it was done at the ending part, but anyway, I think Jaejoong has some place for him. Reading that Jang Geun Suk article, how he was hated in SK for three years and how he strives to build a career in China and Japan, I think Jaejoong has to take note on that, why stay on a place where he can’t promote and people have already some prejudice on him.)
i do think so… that’s why when tvxq broke up..im very thankful because jaejoong decide to leave with yoosu
Me too…hahha
The Jaejoong Effect.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
It’s crazy to think how it can occupy a spot in the Oricon chart when it was released way back Nov. 2012 and can be watched
at the internet, but yes Japanese Fans just love their Prince Kim Jaejoong 🙂
was there even any doubt about this?? just have the name Kim Jaejoong is enough to have sales skyrocket in anything…be it movies, drama, apparel, cosmetics or…well the list goes on!
Japan has JYJ – JJ fever! *along with the rest of the world*
Congratulation Jaejoong! He’s the prince of Japan after all.
I tried ordering but it did not ship to the United States every where but here… I might have to look like the cat from shrek with the eyes and use one of my sisters addresses to send it to then you can send to me. I will keep trying to order if if anyone knows of a site that would ship to the USA.
So Happy, to read this info 🙂
i’m so happy… i already saw the movie…twice it was awesome, jaejoonie was so funny. i see great success with this movie
