NO.X ranks 1st in weekly album chart and big hit on online as well!
His absence due to military service didn’t act as a hinderance.
His 2nd full lenght album NO.X is enjoying great success with amazing sales records. The total reached more than 90,000 as of 2/19 including pre-order and additional order amounts. it would reach 100,000 in no time at this rate.
According to Hanteo NO.X climbed to No 1 spot in weekly album chart for 2/8 ∼14, this was achieved in only 3 days.
…Some expected the album wouldn’t draw much attention since Kim Jaejoong is in the army, but NO.X is receiving rave response almost equal to when he was active.
CJeS reported: “We are trying to get a hold of more supply due to pouring orders. The album is so popular and is receiving the most explosive response ever. The international order requests are continuing as well.”

Oh! I LIKE THAT !!! (as in capslock) 😀
That’s awesome this man is a legend ❤ Jaejoong in paradise says "I'm miracle" and me is like yes you are 😀
So Jaejoong was ranked at number 30 of the 100 most handsome men in the world. I remember voting like crazy in this poll sometime last year. but I still think he should have been way up above those bristly wrinkled men. Looking objectively, he should have been at least in the top 3.
Congratulations, Jajoong! and Congratulations on No. X
Agree
me too
I assumed the 90k is for gaon..wooo~go jj
Maze (Labyrinth). Yes, I know what that is – just like what Jaejoong’s life has been.
But I have been in a real maze, the one that’s made of evergreen hedges surrounding so many paths, branching into so many directions. There is only one entry and the only goal is to find out the exit at the other end and get out. There were times I would find myself on a straight path and think I am near my goal – only to face a dead end. I have to go back and take another branch, only to meet with another dead end. I would become confused, feel lost, lose hope, scared to death thinking l would never find the way out. And there was no turning back – because by then I had lost all sense of direction.
Baby Jae started his journey at the entrance of the maze of life on a broad and straight road, then the road narrowed as he remained only with his mum. Suddenly the path branched into ten different directions. He had to navigate among eight siblings and once again two parents,There was plenty of love but little of cash. When other boys had bleepers to call, he had to use public phones. He realized he had to find his own path out of there. He sold newspapers before school, got himself a ticket to Seoul and thought he had found the exit. But, alas, it was another blind end with so many branches. However, after long struggles he was on the right path again and finally was on the stage. He was doing what his heart most desired, he was famous, girls chanted his name. He was out of the maze, for sure?
But then – another turn in the road and he met a wall that was higher and indestructible, will he ever find a way out? Once again he was on a straight road, singing, acting, composing, investing; his albums sold out, concerts – sold out and he is on top of the world again. This time he must surely be out of the maze – but then the song ends hanging in mid-air: military service another high wall to climb. What lies beyond it? He couldn’t tell, so Runaway ends without a full stop, hanging suspended in mid-air till he can see who is waiting for him on the other side.
Runaway has grown on me and bothered my mind. What was that pretty head thinking when he wrote those lyrics? I’m trying to recall little things I didn’t pay attention to at the time, tie loose ends together and come up with my own interpretation of the song. Whether that’s what Joongie had in mind or whether you will find it credible is of course, just another matter.
can I upvote your comment 1000 times ? I like it what you said is so true.
about Run away I also thought the song ends strangely, you feel he’s still going to sing there’s still a chorus coming but no that was the end of the song.
@jaechnsu Thanks. glad to find someone else feels same as me. 🙂
well duh! some of us are not surprised with this news, rather expected it!!!
This album continues to blow me away! I love each and every song. Jaejoong is a true artist and this album is a masterpiece! I am so glad he is getting all this attention & support! ❤️❤️❤️
