Episode 1
At that time, I intended to do this interview from various angles but
You can say that I’ve missed the timing
When thinking that this is already the year 2014……
Things that you have already heard about or
Things that you probably have no interest in, but I’ve not edited them out
And so, these may no longer be new but
I will disclose them as the finale episodes from my perspective
Anything that I can disclose about them, these will be the last
I interviewed them based on the sequence they came out from the recording studio
Let me show them in this sequence
First of all, about Junsu
While I was preparing for the interview, Jaejoong came and sat next to me overseeing this
He uploaded the photo taken at that time in his twitter right
I also have photos but because of copyrights, I can’t upload them
Sorry about that (⌒∇⌒)
Interview with Yuchun was recorded the following day
<Junsu Interview>
Recorded: 11 Aug 2012
Venue: Music Studio, staircase next to B Studio
HYT: What was the trigger that started off your love for music?
JS: The trigger for me about music
Was when HOT, the Korean group, debut during my elementary school days
After watching their debut stage, I thought I also want to sing and dance on stage like that. That was how I felt, since then, and began to harbor the dream of becoming an artist.
JJ: It was after seeing the kid Junsu that I wanted so much to become an artist (laugh)
*Jaejoong was teasing Junsu : )
HYT: What was the first CD you bought with your pocket money?
JS: The group HOT’s CD.
HYT: So that was the CD which triggered what you have become now right
JS: That is true.
HYT: Which artist do you have most interest in now?
JS: I do like many artists but
Recently Chris Brown or Lady Gaga,
I like Beyonce too.
Recently I like Nicki Minaj.
(T/N: Hayato-san wrote Nicki Mirage but I think the correct artist should be Nicki Minaj)
HYT: What are the common points between the 3 of you on music?
JS: Common points? Common points? Jaejoong hyeong!
(Junsu was asking Jaejoong the meaning of the Japanese words [common points])
*Jaejoong explained in Korean.
JS: The common points to the 3 of us?
HYT: I want to hear what Junsu thinks.
JS: Always, that music is, personally also to me, is what brings JYJ back to our origin.
Something that we can go back to, like the constant base for us, that’s what I think.
(he turned to Jaejoong to confirm the words [beginning intentions] and Jaejoong interpreted it. Seems like Junsu actually wanted to say [origin])
JS: OK, let’s do it one more time.
That music is, personally to me and to also to JYJ
Is something like that is constant and an origin for us to return to.
A base where we can go back to, you can say it like that.
HYT: On the other hand, is there any difference between you?
JS: Within the similarities, the music genre we like,
More like such things that we think about,
When you see how we compose music, you can tell the type of genre we like is totally different right.
That is, as JYJ, some difference if you want to put it that way,
But that is why, when you gather the genre from all 3 of us,
The extent of that genre becomes good
And becomes what JYJ is good at, I think.
HYT: Then how about solo activities, how did you differentiate with JYJ activities?
JS: JYJ is a group,
So my own parts within this group is something that I have to do,
As long as I can perform my own role well right
But, when you talk about solo, it means alone
And that is precisely when we do genre that we want to do although it is lonely,
But then it is also ability to do music that only you can do alone,
Like those dance numbers and genre which I wanted to try doing previously,
I can do them together now, and I will go find more of this music,
That is the kind of album that only I alone can do I thought.
HYT: Did you originally have some music directions which you wanted to do separately from those of JYJ? Did you find these only during this time?
JS: (replied in Korean so I didn’t understand) Please watch 3V3 ok
HYT: Fans do not seem to have any immunity to Junsu’s TARANTALLEGRA this time but are you moving forward with the same route of music for a while from now?
JS: Well, this doesn’t mean that I will absolutely do the same but
If the music is so, I will use similar way to express them, this “whatever route”,
I don’t set a limit and would want to express freely.
Expressing myself freely like this even from now on.
HYT: What were you like when you were a kid”?
JS: Mostly, how do you put it, a normal boy.
HYT: What was your dream etc. then?
JS: I didn’t have any dream when I was a kid.
There was mostly no childhood dream but
First time I had a dream was…….
Ah! I had my first dream, to become a soccer player was my first dream,
I wanted to be one.
I put in effort to become a soccer player then.
HYT: Do the 3 of you meet each other in your private time?
JS: Once in a while.
But because we have almost no similar off-days among the 3 of us,
So it is tough to meet but when the 3 of us have no work we will meet,
And talk about a lot of things.
Yesterday 3 of us gathered together right, after a long time,
And so, we stayed in the hotel and talked and talked for 6 hours.
We discussed, and we talked about many things.
On music too, on our memories too, and also on our future from now,
We talked a lot about different things.
We had a good time.
HYT: What will JYJ become next year in 2013?
JS: Next year will be, well this year we had our individual activities right
Next year, we will work towards putting JYJ activities even more as the center.
HYT: How do you guys imagine your own future, your aim?
JS: Well, the 3 of us did talk a lot about this,
Somehow things like what we want as a result of what we do, how far do we want to achieve,
All these no longer exist.
There is not much need for these any more,
Maybe it is not right to say we don’t need these,
But well, it is not necessary, as human beings, even as we grow older
You can say that we view many things with similar way like this,
Hmm musically, living our lives, we want to hold some allowance continuously towards many things, we want to live like that. That’s the kind of feeling.
Well we can say that about our attitude towards many things,
We want to live amidst some allowance from now.
(T/N: trying to translate this as accurately as possible and the main message from Junsu is that JYJ no longer wants to live-on with all the burdens on their shoulders. Maybe not ALL the burdens can be lightened, but they want to be able to relax a little and live somewhat with more light-heartedness from now)
HYT: These 3 years, what do you want to do freely?
JS: Next, many things
Firstly on dramas or movies which I have not done,
There are many different things I have not done right
But if I feel that I cannot do it my way, I won’t feel the need to do it quickly.
But some day, I will want to try and put my effort into those.
Although I don’t know when that will be
When I feel that I can do it well
I do want to challenge them.
HYT: You’ve been to many places during your world tour, where do you want to go yet have never been to?
JS: For concert?
I haven’t been to many countries for concert yet right
Argentina or Bali, and even Japan
Japan is rather near but it’s also not easy for us to go
It’s too bad
And Japan, for that part, we’ve been told continuously that there are fans who are waiting for us right?
When we hear this, it is always something tough and difficult for us
We will never forget that we have support anytime and from everywhere
Some day we will definitely be enjoying the same stage with all of you
We’ll work towards being able to realize this someday.
HYT: Let’s realize this next year!! Let’s do it definitely!
JS: We’ll work hard on it. Please support us.
<After Interview>
HYT: 3 of you have lost weight, are you guys on diet?
JS: Recently we haven’t been dieting but no time to get fatter you see.
Episode 2
<Jaejoong Interview>
Recorded: 11 Aug 2012
Venue: Music Studio, Staircase next to B Studio
HYT: What was the trigger that started off your love for music?
JJ: Nothing special that triggered my love for music but
Around sixth grade or first year in high school, I suddenly got addicted to Korean folk songs.
And I started doing imitations of those artists I got addicted to.
From there onwards, although I wasn’t good at singing,
I got better and better.
Once I started doing imitations, naturally the songs too
For example although there was no need to sing, when resting at home, strolling outside, or even during my free time,
I listened to songs to imitate so it’s like I will practice singing
And since I kept singing, my throat gets used to it
And I got better which resulted in my interest.
HYT: Any particular singer that you imitated because you like him?
JJ: There was none.
HYT: What triggered you to want to sing in front of people?
JJ: Naaah, I just wanted to become a singer.
Putting my voice inside something called a CD
That CD got released, and then I get to listen to that CD you see.
I wanted to feel what it is like.
Everyone, probably all artists
Started off with their triggers at the same position I believe.
Want to be popular, or want their CDs to sell more,
Those are secondary right
HYT: What was the first CD you bought with your pocket money? You remember?
JJ: I do remember. Same as what Junsu said just now.
Korean group HOT’s CD
That was the first one I bought myself.
They were very popular then, that….
HYT: What are the common points between the 3 of you on music?
JJ: Probably the pure love we have for music is the same
We were aligned from those purest time right
From then the music which we started together was the same
Maybe the type of music we like has come to become similar.
But I think everyone knows that
Each of us has our own little distinctness.
HYT: You mean it’s like your aims are similar?
JJ: The thing we aim for is probably a little different in style
But similarity is probably our wish to try new music
With new style and genre.
HYT: Junsu did solo and if there is a chance, does Jaejoong wish to challenge solo too?
(T/N: please bear in mind that this interview was done in 2012)
JJ: Well, yes. I want to try
And I think because Junsu sang alone
The music was soaked deep with Junsu’s personality.
HYT: Is there a type of music which JYJ should do, and one that is better for solo?
JJ: Ballad has stronger individuality than dance numbers, and Junsu’s ballad
Is perfect for Junsu.
There were many ballads which I was glad it was Junsu who sang them
In Junsu’s album.
HYT: You wrote the song [NO GAIN] for Junsu,
Is there any message behind that?
JJ: Probably anyone who heard that song agrees about the Jaejoong mood inside.
Top it off with Junsu’s vocal
I thought the song felt really new and fresh.
HYT: Are you satisfied listening to Junsu singing it?
JJ: Yes satisfied.
The guide with my vocal inside sounded totally different.
So there was an even more fresh feeling to it, am satisfied.
HYT: Have you never thought about singing yourself too?
JJ: No, I’ve already sang it.
Not inside the CD but when I provided my vocal guide and I have that.
HYT: You sang it during fan meeting right.
JJ: Well, just a short one.
HYT: What will JYJ become next year in 2013?
JJ: In 2013, we need to level-up even more than this year
And to show everyone this, we need to put in more effort,
Will be good if we can do activities in Japan next year.
We have been saying this every year but definitely want to try next year.
HYT: Where in Japan do you want to do a tour?
JJ: Really anywhere. Well, other than Tokyo….
Hmmm instead of specific place, I think it’s great anywhere in Japan.
Well it’s under the same sky and I want those fans a little far away
To think that we did come to Japan.
HYT: What kind of kid were you?
JJ: When I was a kid (laugh) Hmm I disliked being normal I think.
I liked to do things different from my friends.
I wanted to do different things.
For example, although it is not something good, pierce (ear) or clothes I wore.
HYT: What was your dream as a kid?
JJ: My dream, like what everyone knows, was to become a supermarket’s owner.
Reason was really simple
I thought I can eat whatever candies I want…. laugh
HYT: What do you do when you are alone?
JJ: Now?
When I’m alone I make music, listen to music, drink etc.
HYT: Not lonely?
JJ: Lonely but I like this loneliness.
I like to space-out alone.
HYT: Which country do you want to go to for World Tour?
JJ: Junsu went this time, but I want to go Indonesia.
I haven’t been there yet.
You went? How was it?
*Jaejoong in a chatty mode. Laugh.
HYT: I went to watch Junsu.
I happened to have some work in Jakarta so I thought I definitely wanted to go.
JJ: `How was it?
HYT: Was really good. Fans are the same. They react to the same thing at the same moment.
JJ: I want to go.
HYT: By the way your drama was really fabulous. Final episode tomorrow right.
When you were Gyeon Tak and acted with so many actors
What do you learn from them?
JJ: A lot of things. Not something words can express.
I learned how to feel with my eyes and use those emotions when acting with them.
HYT: Is that like how you express what you feel when looking at your counterpart act?
JJ: Yes that’s right. There is no special formula for this.
How shall I put it~~ You won’t know unless you directly act it out
But it was something that I couldn’t learn even during my acting lessons.
HYT: You had time for acting lessons?
JJ: Well we get our drama roles right
When I receive my character, I want to become that person
When I get to the filming location and act it out with the other actors
It became my instinct, like I can do it naturally.
Hmm, how much I improve or not, I can’t really tell
That I really don’t know
But I do it thinking I will try my best. Laugh.
HYT: The suicide scene of your father (in the drama) was a masterpiece right
I thought that was not even acting already.
JJ: Thank you.
HYT: That was not acting but penetration into the role right
JJ: Yes.
Well seriously, at that moment~, he wasn’t my real father
And this wasn’t about me but I was really sad, at that time.
So naturally my tears came and I was into my role.
HYT: That is immersing into acting
No link with your own father right?
JJ: Right, no link.
But Gyeon Tak and his father’s relationship
When I think about that situation
I was so sad it is like there is no way I can don’t shed tears here.
HYT: On the topic of acting, what do you think of Yuchun as an actor?
JJ: Wonderful isn’t he. Laugh
It may seems strange for me to say this but
I think he is a very charismatic actor.
He acts with a charisma which I don’t have.
HYT: You’ve lost weight right.
JJ: The only way is to lose weight isn’t it~
HYT: Were you dieting?
JJ: Not on purpose.
Couldn’t sleep much and didn’t eat well, very hot too.
Also I did drama and movie at the same time so I can only go slimmer.
HYT: Fans said “Eat, Get Fat” in their messages you know.
JJ: But they won’t like it if I am fat right. Laugh.
HYT: How much weight did you lose?
JJ: Around 4-5kg.
And here we reached time-up.
*After this, I told him about Saori-san who passed away.
Many people supported her
And that ring of bond has gradually expanded, and for the sake of her
I also told him that everyone wants to support Jaejoong together.
Then he said this year a number of fans have passed away. So sad….
And so I said this to him
Everyone is cheering for Jaejoong you know, good luck.
Episode 3
< Yuchun Interview >
Recorded: 12 Aug 2012
Venue: Sitting on the staircase that connects the 2F of the house which 3 of them stayed in
HYT: What was the trigger that started off your love for music?
YC: Originally, well, not as a singer but a song-writer or something
I had a dream of becoming a person who makes music but
When I joined the company and met the members, together with members, well, I became a singer you see.
…….. Hmmm, while practising….. I went through a year of under-studying…..
Practised and debut after 1 year of training……. originally that was…..
When I think about it now, I think I was lucky to become a singer but
In the beginning, well, a song-writer or
A music-maker was my first and initial dream you see.
HYT: What was your dream as a kid?
Something to do with music as expected?
YC: I lived in the America between 6th grade and high school…..
Of course I had dreams at that that time
But more than that….. it was…. how do I put it…
I was a little busy with doing part-time jobs
And couldn’t really go to school…..
But in-between this and that, I did hold some dreams….
You want to oooo? (couldn’t hear) and such things did happen
But then, that kind of dream…… The allowance (extra time for myself) to even live on holding on to some dream was
Something that I didn’t have at that time you see
That is why, well, prior to anything else, was the reality of, that money hurdle
That was utmost important then.
HYT: What kind of kid were you?
Were you the type of kid who worked part-time jobs till dawn?
YC: Those times….. As a kid…..
The wish to be a normal kid….. I had that
Just attend school normally, play with friends normally and chat…..
That was…. well, normal…
It’s a little…… to compare whether it is normal or abnormal…..
It was because I was small at that time that I didn’t know I supposed…..
Well, just not working part-time jobs but
Like a normal kid and friend……
Something like that….. was my wish then
HYT: When I asked you previously, you were saying that the sound of dish-washing was somehow comforting to you….
This is link to that right? (that what you wish most is to be normal)
YC: Yes….. Something like that…… When I think about it now…. Well…..
Hmmmm, probably they’re connected I think
HYT” Do you remember the first CD you bought with your pocket money?
YC: I bought the tape in elementary school but……. I can’t remember.
Coz I bought many
CD was…… It was in my high school days…..
I was working part-time jobs when oooo (? couldn’t hear)… The money…
Ah, I think it was the 2nd album
Among the groups in America….
98 Degrees…. there was this group
Now there is no (? couldn’t hear) structure any more I think…..
I bought that group’s CD
HYT: You said you wanted to be a song-writer just now….
This means you’ve been studying music at a young age?
YC: Naaah I’ve never study that before
Yet at the same time I wanted to be a song-writer, I want to make music
By having these dreams I can be away from my life now….. It was to escape
I probably have these feelings I think, when I think back now.
At that time…. Now…. I was thinking about those times
What was it? I don’t know….. That….
All I can say is….. That I don’t know…
But now when I think back, there was a mixture of many feelings then…..
As a route of escape… A chance?……
Probably so right? I thought so.
HYT: What are your thoughts about the connection between JYJ 3 of you and music?
YC: 3 of us is like one ooo (? couldn’t hear)…..
It’s similar but the music part of it……
Especially like that….. I don’t think we want to do it definitely like that.
For example, well, when members write songs (together),
It’s a feeling of freedom and freely we, well, give our opinions, and our greediness in that…
I show them the melody I made, but I don’t have the will to definitely do it that way.
In other words….. as expected….. the other members…
Tthe heart to trust each other as members…. we probably had.
HYT: For example, Junsu did a solo concert this year
That and JYJ’s music….. maybe it’s different from the music in solos right…..
YC: A little different yes
HYT: How about Yuchun on that point?
As part of JYJ you want to express it this way etc
For example, to hold solo concert like that…..
YC: Me? Yes!
HYT: Yes? You feel that way?
YC: Naaah… Hmmm… It is possible but…..
Release an album, release a CD and do solo activities…
Yes I do think of that but looking at Junsu’s solo activities and tour…..
Looking at his live…. Junsu is better at this than me.
I thought it was great that Junsu was the first to do solo activities
Yes I thought so.
But well, as you know, the genre I like is different so what I want to do,
The genre I like
I do want to write songs for such music
But I am not confident to do such activities now you see.
In addition to dance and sing solo on top of the stage……
It’s a bit impossible for me to do 12 or 20 songs like that…
HYT: In contrast, how about the 3 of you creating something together on what you yourself want to do, and what you want to make?
YC: That is possible.
HYT: 2013….. What will JYJ become next year?
What kind of activities will you do?
YC: The 3 of us into the military?….. Because we don’t know when
Until then I want to do what we couldn’t so far, activities in Japan etc….
Doesn’t have to be in the Dome you know
Arena or Hall, a tour like that…. We want to do…..
I really want to do so, and drama or acting is good too…
But finally 3 of us doing live….. That’s what I want to do.
HYT: That, I will definitely support so let’s definitely do it
YC: yes
HYT: How do you spend time alone?
YC: I just do nothing
When I am alone, I play game or just space-out
If I am home…. When I’m home I eat a lot you see
Mom will……
Why do you eat 5 times, 5 – 6 times so much a day it’s too…..
Er, are you stressed out? ………..She’ll ask
No it’s not that, it’s just that no matter how much I eat and eat…..
I don’t feel full….. You see
So I keep eating, and keep spacing out, and keep going to the toilet
Er, when I’m in Korea it is always hot
So although I want to go strolling with my dogs, it’s not possible since it is too hot
HYT: Don’t you go fishing or something?
YC: I did go fishing about 2 times when I went Busan recently
But the tides were so high I couldn’t really fish
HYT: You rested in Bali right…… How do you relax and enjoy your off days there?
YC: Right, Bali…..
Bali was…. I really did nothing….. Just to-and-fro between the sea and the apartment only
So, I know that there is nothing much there
I didn’t have anything I wanted to do there.
When I was there in Bali, it was really just the photo shoot…. filming only
Then having beers with staff and just chatting
Until then….. I was rather busy so didn’t have time to chat like that
HYT: I heard that you read a lot so did you read any book then?
YC: I tried to but…… Couldn’t
HYT: In your world tour,
What country do you want to go?
YC: Where are the fans?
Those will be the countries I want to go
Turkey, India etc.
HYT: I want to ask about Yuchun the actor
This time you got rave reviews too and again another award
What is the lure of acting so different from your music activities?
YC: I’m not sure but I just enjoy it
Together with actors and the staff, about 50 – 80 of us
Filming and working together without much sleep for 3 – 4 months, that kind…..
It is not friendship but more like the birth of some kind of bond
ooo (? couldn’t hear)…. Was a first-time experience for me
HYT: This time you came back when your dad passed away
You had to immediately go back to filming right…..
Yet you did so well…..
Was there some kind of power that you used to enable you to do so?
YC: I wanted to run away at first
I really thought to run away
I didn’t want to do any filming or anything at all
Those who looked only at me, my manager and staff and stylist
My mom and younger brother and members and agency and fans
Everyone was really supportive…..
Aaaah I need to be well again, that was what I thought.
A little bit more, with my heart now, at this moment
If I put a little bit more effort, the drama would have been completed and I will be able to have some allowance
I wanted to think that way
At that time, my staff and manager
My family who only looked at me……
I actually got strength from them……… So I went filming after pulling out such strength
HYT: I personally call that the RTP-walk, but has that become a habit?
YC: (misunderstood and thought that I meant the RTP-speech)
I don’t know about now, and it has ended already
After completing the drama (Rooftop Prince) and when I have to comment about it in Korea in Korean language
That, how shall I say, the way I do my speech?…..
It just came out….. naturally
In other words, I didn’t have to do anything and it just came out like that
That could be from pressure…… I don’t want that kind of pressure to be normal
I wanted to speak like Yuchun….. But yet my comment was recorded in that style
It’s just like the drama….. And that, again and again I did so
(? couldn’t hear that part)
Now it’s probably an issue (? couldn’t hear) I think
*I’m sorry, I did understand him at that time….. Perspiration
HYT: As a fellow actor, how do you see Jaejoong’s acting?
YC: I watched Jaejoong’s drama and I was surprised….
Frankly, that Jaejoong in a period drama was really addictive….
Actually, hmmmm…… that acting was done with so much heart….
Normall you can tell if that is acting or not, right…..
Yet I can’t tell, well, that acting was done with so much heart put into it
I was so touched by it
At first I was surprised, and later I was touched
HYT: The last part, he was totally immersed into it, his role
YC: Yes (agree)
That.. Well… Somehow… I want to upgrade my level….
Even if you think so it is impossible to act with heart bearing such thoughts
I think…..
That… Various…. Nothing to do with such pressure
And just believing in yourself….. Like that….
That was how it is done, that is why Jaejoong is…..
Like that….. he achieved level-up right
HYT: As an actor, a role you want to do or
Is there something like that you want to try out
YC: At this moment there is nothing in particular I want to do or try
Or shall I say there are many (?)
Whatever is fine, as long as that character is something that I can do
I want to challenge anything
The end.
When recording the interviews, I used iPhone to keep these for my own records
There are many parts difficult to hear or I couldn’t hear.
Of course, I can hear these using actual recording equipments
Don’t worry
Well well
What do you think of the finale episodes?
Those I have written about them so far
Are less than 10% of what I do know
But doesn’t mean that I have to spread what I know
And again there are people who take these good and deep contents with malice
It is difficult to convey in words
Please do understand
And with this
The End (⌒∇⌒)
(note by T/N: These 3 updates by Hayato-san were tough to translate. What with the time-lag and the things which actually happened these 2 years.
Especially difficult was Yuchun’s. While Junsu and Jaejoong are usually clear and precise, using simple words to express themselves, Yuchun as usual use the round-about way to say something.
He is never clear nor precise. Coupled with his Japanese, I doubt Hayato-san knows exactly what Yuchun wanted to convey 100%, judging by what he updated. But even so, I hope you have at least some idea of what Yuchun wanted to convey through this)

JS said that they would be putting JYJ activities more as the center. However, aren’t two of them going to join the army?
>_>
This interview was in 2012. The putting JYJ activities more at the center is what they’ve been doing since publishing the album ‘Just Us’ and doing the concert tour.
This interview was in 2012.
Things changed.
JJ’s humility has always amazed me. He is alwys quick to praize his members, while toning down his own qualities About himself:”although I wasn’t good at singing” ; About Junsu “There were many ballads which I was glad it was Junsu who sang them …HYT: You wrote the song [NO GAIN] for Junsu JJ: Probably anyone who heard that song agrees about the Jaejoong mood inside. Top it off with Junsu’s vocal. HYT: Are you satisfied listening to Junsu singing it? JJ: Yes satisfied. The guide with my vocal inside sounded totally different. So there was an even more fresh feeling to it, am satisfied. HYT: Have you never thought about singing yourself too? JJ: No, I’ve already sang it. Not inside the CD but when I provided my vocal guide and I have that.” Of course, JJ will not sing it, he doesn’t want fans to start comparing and fighting about who sings it better” Finally about Yoo Chun: “HYT: On the topic of acting, what do you think of Yuchun as an actor?JJ: Wonderful isn’t he. It may seems strange for me to say this but I think he is a very charismatic actor. He acts with a charisma which I don’t have.”
JJ, Junsu’s voice may be different from yours and Yoo Chun’s acting style may be different, too, but you are no lesser singer or actor than either of them. And that is where the strength of JYJ stands – you are all unique in your own ways, all passionate about your work, blending your talents together so that you become as one, singing in the rain or in the sunshine. May your friendship and success continue for many more years.
Well said 😀
I agree , I think that these 3 members are really good to each other , you don’t feel they are members of a band , but real friends and brothers . and yeah Jaejoong is really a great hyung for them they are just amazing and inspiring !! I wish them All the best in their entire life.
I’m so excited that JYJ is back together. I just bought the latest album(ep) and I’m thrilled that I did. I just hope they can make it to the States soon.
The boys have come a long way, aren’t they?
I cant wait to read Yoochun’s interview!
The trigger and start of Junsu’s music career with SRD ❤
i understand nothing about the language, but i cried nonetheless! thanks for sharing this! :’)
I think that JYJ priorities are really different than usual ( or shall I say current ) Kpop groups , you feel that they are so mature , they don’t match the image of the korean idols ( the commercial image ) but really really they are true ARTISTS , their self esteem , the way they see music , the way they interact with fans… you feel it so much deep, classy and different .TRUE ARTISTS
Yoochun should have more confidence. I actually really love his style and vocal. I can imagine him singing his type of songs in his own solo concert, so i hope he will take up that opportunity one day. Of course it will be different than the others. Junsu is Junsu. Jaejoong is Jaejoong. Yoochun is Yoochun. Each so great in what they do. That is why we love that combination, JYJ so much.
YC: “I do want to write songs for such music But I am not confident to do such activities now you see. In addition to dance and sing solo on top of the stage…… It’s a bit impossible for me to do 12 or 20 songs like that”
I think I understand and empathize with YC when he says it’s impossible for him to do that and I think we shouldn’t push him too much on doing a solo concert, may be a solo CD would be great. Let’s enjoy his skills as a composer and lyricist and an important member of JYJ.
This is my personal opinion and you will probably disagree with me, but being alone on the stage, facing those thousands of screaming fans is quite stressful and YC may be cautious that with his asthma condition, this stress, in addition to the physical stress of performance may trigger an asthma attack. If they are three of them on the stage, the rest will cover up for him as it happened once that i noticed. But if he is alone on the stage, it may cause even more stress. Even JJ, before he did a solo, tested himself with a mini-concert/fanmeeting. And YC recently had a fan meeting where he performed several songs, so let us give him the time, may be this fan meeting was his testing ground for something bigger to come. Whatever the case, we love YC, respect him for living with and fighting his health condition and achieving so much despite of it. I wish him success and happines in his life.
^^ you might be right. he will take on it when he’s ready.
and we owe it to him to be patient and just love the things he does cause he is very confident in the directions he wants to take and secure in himself and JYJ soi will just love him and wait for that solo cd we all need! no pressure YC really.
so i wait oh the mistypes 🙂
since i’m at the same age with yc, i know that boyband 98 degress. that time when MTV was actually broadcasting great music! that and maybe 1990’s up to early 2000’s were the best western music era. oh the memory…
even way back in 2012 ALL THREE mentioned Indonesia (Bali is in), so jyj don’t you long to see us fans???
please just come here for 1st exclusive live JYJ concert in Indonesia. T^T
yeahh ~ three of them mentioned Indonesia ^^
hopely JYJ in the future can held live concert in Indonesia (Jakarta or Bali) ..
we are JYJ fans Indonesia will wait untill the day come 😀
asasaldalsjflkjlkj!!!! BALI????? that would be so near within my reach, since it is where i live now!!!! amen, dear!!!!
but Jakarta is honestly more logic option. however i would definitely tried to attend, even now that i think about this possibility, i would gladly look for the VIP seat. i guess i am desperate, lol. #JYJeffect
