JYJ3’s Note: The Yomiuri Shimbun It is one of the five national newspapers in Japan (Read more here)
*
Kim Jaejoong is a triple threat – unique appearance, exciting performer, and good singing voice.
Despite being on a short trip to Japan, he accepted this interview. The atmosphere during the photo shoot and interview is light.
You can see that he cares about the people around him – whether it’s a staff, make up artist, photographer. He talks to everyone.
His face gives a variety of expressions – mysterious, cool, handsome – whether he is acting or singing.
JJ is strict when it comes to evaluating himself. He gives 100% in everything he do – be it singing or acting.
His eyes are very expressive. “During Triangle filming, I can express a lot of emotions with my eyes.”
“I can convey change of my feelings with eye movements, however subtle it is.” JJ on his ‘eye acting’
“Rather than body or hand gestures, I use my eyes to convey my emotions in acting.” – JJ
“I sometimes see people using the same hand or body gestures for diff emotions. I think eye acting can do a variety of things”
“I was watching a lot of JDramas when I was studying Japanese so thanks to them, I was able to study acting as well” – JJ
“I usually watch the entire series. I watched a lot of hit dramas and most of them are Kimutaku-san’s dramas.” JJ on Jdramas
[Note: Kimutaku = Kimura Takuya]
“I was heavily influenced by Japanese rock style of music.” – JJ
“I really appreciate everyone who supports me and to convey my thanks even if I’m in Korea, I am still studying Japanese now” JJ on Jfans
“I recently sold a lot of my personal belongings like my refrigerator and cars.” JJ did not put any special premium in the resale value.
We were shocked so we asked why he did that. His answer surprised us. – popstyle
“I want to stop being attached to material things. People became obsessed with things that will be unusable in time.Need to let go of those”
“Happiness to me is not defined by money or material things.People make me happy.So I wanted to continue to cherish my fans more than ever.”

may I know what is in the news, tqvm
Kim Jaejoong is a triple threat – I love that!
I have always loved the fact that JJ is world famous artist, actor and other important positions but he is still a little dork. He is still kind and caring specially towards people who work for him. He is high class artist but he is not arrogant about it, he only seeks to improve and same time he respects others…
from: @Angel33Wing “oh… the news paper at yomiuri shop is already sold out. It`s all becoz of Jaejoong ^^
Jaejoongnomics, Jaejoongeffect 🙂
If I remember it right, he said in his interview that he wants to be like Takuya Kimura, one of the most well-known and successful actors/singers/entertainers in Japan and Asia, you will JJ!
oh my…..Sometimes i want to live in Korea or in Japan….ahhhh Jaejoong ……how can i see you…..miss you.
i don’t think we will completely have to live without him cause there are many plans of his i think to release things and keep news of him and of course his friends and family help a lot too. so happy every time we see something about him!
And we will continue to cherish Jaejoong more than ever. ❤
“Happiness to me is not defined by money or material things.People make me happy.So I wanted to continue to cherish my fans more than ever.”
May be this is the reason Jaejoong brings us so much happiness. In him contrasts not only co-exist but blend together and create his unique personality. He is dignified but simple, wealthy but down-to-earth, talented but natural, handsome but humble.
In this egotistical world of arrogant self-seekers, Jaejoong is like a breath of fresh air. That’s why it is a privelege to know him and to feel part of his world, even if only remotely.
love the way you said that! so true. thanks for expressing this so well ❤
You said it so well , that’s what I was thinking too . 😀 He is such an amazing person . I dont have much time that I know him but everytime that I read or learn smth about him I’m always impressed. I’m really happy that I’m his fan and I’m always proud to introduce him to my friends and they said me too that he is a person from whom we should learn 😀 And when they watch his performances they are even more amazed. I think I’m converting them into K-Pop fans and JJ’s fan to be more correct 😀
Oh – there is one word for him – wonderful!♥
“Happiness to me is not defined by money or material things.People make me happy.So I wanted to continue to cherish my fans more than ever.”
This translate to how he does business. I read an article about young entrepreneurship. While in business conception, one should set a goal.
Which bracket would you want to cater ?
a. tens of millionaires
b. hundreds of rich people
c. thousands of commoners (which include average to below average income people, unemployed including students)
If you think of it, how many fangirls fall on a certain bracket? I think Jholic reaches c to b , while Moldir is b to c since it still produces small items affordable to students. And from manufacturing to distribution, how many people he’s giving employment. Yes, though he’s doing business to make money of course but the bottom line is he’s reaching to more people, to more fans. And for fans, money alone won’t make them happy but what that money can buy especially if it has a connection to their idol. I can imagine fangirls visiting Jholic so often so they can at least have a JJ feel 🙂 . Revenue_wise from each customer, just coins not bills but still every million starts with a coin 🙂
nice comment, thanks!
Yes Jaejoong, you certainly have beautiful eyes that can talk and act. that was the very first thing I attract by when I watched ‘Protect the Boss “. From that moment I glued to you haha.
when will they release JJ’s album 😔
I’m wondering about it too. Hopefully soon 🙂
