K-pop boy band JYJ members will focus on solo careers after wrapping up their group activities at the end of this year.
The boys — Yoochun, Jaejoong and Junsu — pursued musical career as a group since they released the second studio album “Just Us” on July 29.
The trio are gearing up to return to the drama, film and musical scene after ending their Japanese concert tour series in December.
The award-winning actor Yoochun is mulling over what drama or film to star in next. He is now reviewing several scenarios, sourced said.
The rookie actor instantly became one of the most sought-after actors after earning high acclaim from critics for sophisticated acting in his debut film “Sea Fog,” released in August.
The idol-turned-actor already seized two prizes for his realistic acting at the 51st Grand Bell Awards and 34th Korean Association of Film Critics Awards.
Jaejoong is also to continue his acting career. He was greatly praised for his acting in the dramas “Protect the Boss,” “Dr. Jin” and, most recently, “Triangle.”
Jaejoong will play a South Korean intelligent agent in the upcoming drama “Spy.” The political action thriller will portray a story about the South-North Korean conflicts following the execution of Jang Song-thaek, the former No.2 man in North Korea.
The 16-episode drama is scheduled to air on KBS every Friday starting from January.
Junsu is being offered parts in several musicals after he successfully played his role in the musical “Dracula” in September.
In addition, the vocalist plans to hold a set of solo concerts at the end of December.
The concerts, titled “2014 XIA Ballad & Musical Concert with Orchestra vol. 3,” will take place at Jamsil Indoor Stadium on Dec. 30-31.
As a group, the boys will release the first EP in Japan. They are currently on the “JYJ Japan Dome Tour,” with the upcoming shows to be held in Osaka on Dec. 13 and 14 and Fukuoka on Dec. 23 and 24.

NB: Jaejoong was not only highly praised for his acting in the dramas “Protect the Boss,” “Dr. Jin” and, most recently, “Triangle.” he also received a number of prizes for his acting. That’s why he is getting offers for leading actor. No?
yess !!
Yoochun, please choose romance, or rom com or melodrama in Saeguk.
I want more activities in Japan now that they can … I like his solo activities but expected more Japanese promotion
Happy Thanksgiving, yall! Happy Turkey day!
🙂 Thank you! It’s been a good day. I hope yours has been enjoyable as well.
Hé lovers, plein de bonnes choses a vous. Que l’année de la chèvre de bois soit encore meilleure que cette année. Qui fini en apothéose faut bien le dire 😉
Hey lovers , all the best to you. The year of the goat wood is even better than this year. Which ended in triumph to be said 😉
Yes yoochun, please do romcom or saeguk!

I really wish more Japanese promotions …

And i really hope they release jp full album

JYJ COME TOUR AMERICA AGAIN PLEASE!
* warning – getting ready to over share how my bubble was burst twice *
So I’m landlocked in the US and was resigned to spending Thanksgiving alone. I figured, between Hulu, Netflix, and DramaFever, I’d rewatch and marathon myself into Yoochun-ssi, Jaejoong-ssi zombie coma over the holiday weekend. But my Mum, surprised me – yay – and drove 8 hours to spend the holiday with me – my Dad went to the UoF vs FSU college football game (epic rivalry). But boy does it feel good to see her; especially since she’s equal distance from my brother and he has warmer weather. And – yay – no cooking – going out for dinner yo’.
But as I’m watching her nap, I decided to get some JYJ updates. And what do I learn from this post? （；_・）A single tear…
JYJ will go back to solo activities after the Ichigo Ichie Tour? So that means I have to accept the fact that I will not see these men before they leave for the military. * fanning my eyes * I know I should be so content that JYJ is freely working in Japan again. I should be thankful for them and thankful that my Mum is spending the holiday with me.
But my huge fan heart is bummed. No marathon zombie coma and now no US Tour?! (ﾉ_ _)ﾉ * sshhh, my fanheart * Be strong and continue to watch the awesome Ichigo fancams, Jaejoong-ssi on tv in January – and rewatch them for the next few years.
But oh yeah, ㅎㅎ ㅎㅎ congratulations JYJ on your strong character and spirit that has allowed you to persevere, achieving so much in so few years. Amazing. You’re not even 30. May success continue to be in your steps. Thank you for being true to yourselves. * pfft, gotta go, Mum’s awake…yum-yum beef *
They are just so multi-talented that they have so many options. I hope there would be one mind-blowing song that will showcase how great singers they are in their Japanese EP . I think they can do much more than Wake Me Tonight .
After new drama.. I want jaejoong to release new solo album 🙏🙏
Amen. I’m praying with you.
Kneeling in prayers next to the two of you.
Oh I wanna see Yuchun in a romcom..
Any activity of JYJ as a group or individually I am always happy for either!!!!! I just want to continue seeing them!!!!!
I want Chun’s solo album…pleeeeeeeease
me too!!! 🙂
We JYJ fans really want more of them, don’t we? but I guess they have to rule the entertainment industry one project at a time, as they would need to rest (and of course go to military).
Whatever project they take on, we’ll always be there to support them! So proud to be a fan! 😀
