Group JYJ will put on a ‘big caliber’ concert stage.
Gathering attention for holding a large, free fan exhibition every year, JYJ will hold a large, free concert this time. They are expected to grace ‘2014 Gangnam Hallyu Festival’ stage –to be conducted on a special stage on Yeongdongdae-ro [/street] in front of Korea Electric Power Corporation(KEPCO)– on their own for over 2 and a half hours in Samseong-dong, Seoul at 7 pm KST on October 5th.
This concert is the Seoul encore concert of JYJ’s ‘THE RETURN OF THE KING’, that is underway in parts of Asia by JYJ currently. In particular to be held for free-of-charge, it is raising expectations of fans already very much so.
In regards to the artists who are representing K-pop, JYJ; Seoul’s Gangnam-gu Office –who is sponsoring the event– is expecting 3,300 people to be arriving on that day. The number of people is 10% more than last year.
On September 14, an official of the event said, “It was not an easy decision for JYJ, who boasts ticket power, to conduct a free concert,” yet, “Their stage on that day can even be viewed as the definitive stop of their Asia tour to be held in the meantime”.
Meanwhile, continuing on with their Asia tour in Seoul, Hong Kong, Beijing, Taipei, etc.; JYJ will proceed with a concert also in Shanghai, China on September 20.

The festival includes a Hallyu Festival (K-Pop Concert – JYJ!), Gangnam Grand Sale (up to 60% discounts at participating department stores, accommodations and concert halls), International Peace Marathon and Fashion Festival.
About 2014 Gangnam Hallyu Festival usually there’s a number of artists who perform each year, but for this year (2014), it will be only JYJ! ^__^ Since this is a free concert and open to the public. Let’s support JYJ!

The amount of truth in your comment makes me cry endlessly. I feel you. T___T

OMG I hate seeing JJ’s tears even if it’s just acting >< !!
encore???? encore already??? but…but what about japan??? and…and mine, what about indonesia? *criesinthecorner*
Indonesiaa
Joongie you promise will be back…
Huwaaaaa..
That’s a lot of bravery being demonstrated in Gangnam. What a gift to the people there! Even from a distance, I have begun to enjoy watching the show.
So those who got cheated from seeing JYJ perform at the Asian games will get to see JYJ live and for free right after the Asian games end. Ah, I wish I am in SK to see this awesome gathering. FIGHTING JYJ! I am tempted to go on Incheon website and advertise this free concert… hehehe!
que envidia que envidia no es justo y yo tan lejos si tuviera dinero y visa vigente volaria a korea parA ver a mis chicos, y gritar como loca, en cambio las asiaticas la tienen mas facil y ellas si van a verlos en vivito y sobre todo gratis, eso es un grandisimo detalle de JYJ, un regalo para todas sus fans por apoyarlos, asi que SK, JAPON, CHINA y todos los paises asiaticos aprovechen y brindenles mucho amor como siempre y nosotras desde lejos los estaremos viendo y apoyando gracias a las fancams y demuestren el poder de JYJ.
I sooo hope there won’t be a sudden change of plan in the last minutes like what happened too many times before. I hope the organiser will not succumb to any bully.
I sure hope that won’t happened. Since JYJ sponsors all and money has been paid and contract has been signed, any last minute cancellation will call for legal action. Even though they will go mute and numb during the fiesco. I think we won’t as what we did with IAG recently. Yup, another boring action from us all over again but at least they know we are watching and monitoring JYJ…always and hello, we are foreigners > their main attraction for the event.
How i really3 wish i could go there? Pray for a miracle fly me to gangnam on de day!
I think all the i-fans need a miracle…. that all of us can fly there on that day to attend. *sob sob*
Let’s all pray for a miracle 😦
*praying hard* for miracle
please let me join…. wahh i almost cry how i wish i can go there but…..i’m living with a simple life..ah Jaejoong Why, When, Where can i see YOU.you…….”””PRAYING TOO FOR A MIRACLE………..
