Kung Chalermchai is Thailand 411Ent CEO
Interview with Rafa Mendez, choreographer and prestigious dancer internationally and in Spain. In October 2011, he was responsible for the staging of JYJ in their European Tour. Now with the comeback of Xiah Junsu with “Tarantallegra” a weeks ago, we wanted to ask him his opinion about the song, the KPOP wave in our country and its global expansion, and his experience on the tour of JYJ.
First of all, thank you so much for accepting our request, Rafa!!
1st question:
How did you become the responsible of JYJ’s European Tour? Did you know about KPOP when you accepted this job?
The sponsor who brought JYJ to Spain was the one who called me, due to my work in “Fama” and with others artists, and I thought I was perfect for the job. And that’s how it was, we did a great job and the dancers team I provided is WONDERFUL.
2nd question:
Any anecdote during your experience with JYJ that deserves to be heard?
Several, but what I won’t never forget is detail: before every concert, JYJ came to the dressing rooms to connect with the dancers, hug them and transmit them all their energy and good feeling. And the same for the end (of the concerts). I just can say they’re professionals and from exquisite care.

[TRANS] I’m ready to watch it. I’d say it’ll have a great aesthetic, it’ll be risky and with very good taste and above all,
chameleon-like as he is.

“Rafa Mendez, the famous choreographer popular for his participation in the various versions of “Fama, a bailar”, will be responsible for directing the choreography and stage set-up of the upcoming tour of the South Korean band JYJ.
Rafa Mendez has a long history behind him in which he has collaborated with major people in the industry such as Luca Tomassini, the choreographer of Madonna and Kylie Minogue, or Kim Gaven, who was responsible for the performances of the group Take That. As a dancer, he has assisted artists as well known as Atomic Kitten, Geri Halliwel or Tiziano Ferro. He also recorded Paris Hilton’s latest MV.
Next Thursday on October 6, auditions will be held to pick the backup dancers that will accompany the group in the concerts in Barcelona and Berlin.
JYJ, who have sold more than half a million records in Asia, will land (come to) our country to present their latest album “In Heaven”. The group has chosen the city of Barcelona to hold their first concert in Spain, initiating their tour through the continent. This act will take place in the symbolic surroundings of Poble Espanyol, on Saturday, October 29.
