JYJ's Jaejoong prepared a very special gift for fans ahead of his military service. By
Talk about being prepared, it appears that ahead of his conscription, Jaejoong has prepared an album for his fans ahead of being conscripted. The album is Jaejoong’s 2nd solo album and it will be released in February 2016. The reason for the unusual timing is simply that Jaejoong wants to send a gift to the fans that have stuck by him through thick and thin. According to CJeS Entertainment, the new album will contain tracks
written by composers from abroad as well as songs Jaejoong penned
himself. Compared to his solo album “WWW,” the new album is set to contain a more pop vibe.
We all know already that "Breathing" and "Good Morning Night" will be in this new Jaejoong album... He performed the songs during "The Beginning of The End" concerts.
The reason behind JYJ Kim Junsu’s excessive money spending is awe-inspiring
Posted on
Despite not being able to promote his music on broadcasts and music shows like any other artists in South Korea, JYJ member Kim Junsu
still quite well for himself as a successful musical actor and solo
artist when he’s not following activities with his groupmates.
Though having gone through hardships himself after breaking off from the group TVXQ (SM Entertainment),
Junsu’s big heart has revealed itself through various charitable
donations as uncovered by netizens who lists his achievements, gaining
praise from those coming across this published post on Instiz.
Below is a translation of the post.
Is there a reason you started giving?
When I left my previous agency. I’m thankful for everything right now although some
may say that my situation of not being able to appear on TV is unfortunate, I am happy that I am
able to release albums still and do concerts and perform on musicals. As I realized this me and
the other JYJ members all thought we should give more.
When he realized fans had donated to Cambodia under his name, he built them a school.
And he sponsored one year worth of the teachers’ payments.
A house he built for a handicapped elderly couple after they lost their house in a fire
For a single father who was raising two kids in a 30 year old mud house.
A house for an elderly women with no family
A house for a large house hold of 11 children in poverty
A house for a family who lost their house in a fire
When Junsu’s soccer team FC MEN play with any other team their only request is that the profits of the match all go to donation
Wears a badge which raises awareness about the issue on comfort women and where all profits go towards helping these women.
The fans joining
His hotel, Toscana donates parts of their profit to those in need.
He sponsors scholarships for those talented musically.

Kim Jun Su successfully finishes the last show of his Asia tour in Taipei
XIA Kim Jun Su successfully finished the last show of his Asia tour in Taipei.
On December 5th, a representative of C-JeS Entertainment said, "JYJ's
Kim Jun Su held the last show of '2015 Kim Jun Su 4th ASIA TOUR CONCERT
IN TAIPEI' in Taipei, Taiwan. Approximately three thousand fans attended
the concert even thought the show was held on a weekday, and Kim Jun Su
made another unforgettable memory with his Taiwanese fans."
During the concert, Kim Jun Su tried to communicate with the fans with
Chinese that he studied as much as possible. After finishing the opening
performance, Kim Jun Su said in Chinese, "Hello, everyone. This is XIA.
Welcome, all of you, to my concert (大家好。 我是XIA。欢迎你们。)" Kim Jun Su also
continuously asked “Are you all having fun (你们开心吗)?"
Kim Jun Su also talked about many different foods that he had in Taiwan and special tourist attractions that he visited before.
Even though Kim Jun Su's Chinese was not perfect, all of the fans showed
hot reactions to everything that Kim Jun Su said, and Kim Jun Su
responded with high-energy performances. Afterwards, Kim Jun Su randomly
picked wishes that his fans sent, and sang a song titled 'Dream,' which
was not in his setlist.
As Kim Jun Su commenced his encore performance, Taiwanese fans presented
a special birthday cake, and sang him birthday song. Kim Jun Su
expressed sincere gratitude to all of the fans, and the fans held up a
placard that said, "We want to keep growing old with you."
Kim Jun Su said, "Thank you so much for your welcome. I enjoyed Taipei's
beautiful night view last year when I came for JYJ concert. I also
enjoyed a lot of Taiwanese foods. It has been twelve years since I made
my first debut, and I would like to say thank you, again, for your
tremendous love and supports. I promise to keep doing my best to become
an improving artist. See you very soon, Taiwan."
Meanwhile, Kim Jun Su is going to hold '2015 Kim Jun Su
Ballad&Musical Concert with Orchestra vol.4' in Seoul from December
29th until 31st.

Yang Hyun Suk of YG Entertainment has had a very great year. He established the group BIGBANG on top and successfully launched the new group iKON. International superstar PSY once again sweeps the music charts as CL’s
debut in the the US market is moving along smoothly. Also, YG
Entertainment’s representative stars PSY and BIGBANG both renewed their
contracts with the company.
His ability to pursue calculated risks and musical sensibility have
been essential ingredients to the company’s success. He sat down for an
interview as 2015 comes to a close and as he looks into the future. The
interview took place on December 1 right after PSY’s press conference.
After discussing PSY’s success
and his latest hit songs, Yang Hyun Suk gets asked which other songs he
is currently enjoying. He answers, “I like the song “Dream” which is
dedicated to singer Shin Hae Chul. People of my generation have memories
of him and can identify with the song. I actually fell for JYJ’s Junsu’s
voice after hearing the song. I felt bad that I didn’t recognize his
talent all this time. I can see why he’s so popular. I’m going to
recommend that he gets on stage with PSY during his concert. I’d like to
see him on stage myself.”
He then continues to discuss how BIGBANG and PSY are especially like
family to him. Yang Hyun Suk comments, “The only people who call me
“hyung” in my company are BIGBANG and PSY. Other artists call me
“Chairman” because of our vast age difference. What I’m saying is, I’ll
be seeing them around even if they retire or move onto other agencies.
That’s how much we trust each other. We’re like family. Perhaps it’s
because our relationship didn’t start doing business together. BIGBANG
used to talk to me all the time from the time he was a trainee. As for
PSY, he went through a lot before he signed on with us. We work well
together because he knows tough aspects of the music industry. PSY and I
always say, “Even if we quit music, we’ll still be friends.” We’re
friendly like that.”
Later he discusses Park Bom’s surprise appearance at the 2015 MAMA before concluding the interview.

Kim Jae-joong to release new album in February
JYJ member Kim Jae-joong, who enlisted previously in March, is set to
drop his much-awaited second regular EP as a soloist in February next
year, his agency C-jes Entertainment announced Friday.
The new album consisting of more than 10 tracks prerecorded ahead of his
enlistment will be an awesome treat for his fans, according to the
company.
The star has previously made a chart-sweeping soloist debut in January
2013 with a rock mini album titled “I,” selling 200,000 albums. His
first regular EP “WWW” dominated iTunes charts in 12 countries, proving
his status as an international hallyu star.
“Kim’s new album features self-written songs and those composed by
renowned overseas artists,” said an agency official, adding the new
album would be somewhat different from previous albums, as he added a
little bit of pop tastes to the rock tracks.
1215 fashion items will be designed by Junsu (collaborated with the designer) for sale and profits will be donated. This time the donation will be for establishing a vocational school in Cambodia, to help young people. #JYJ
안녕하세요, 씨제스 엔터테인먼트입니다. JYJ의 멤버 김재중과 박유천은 군 복무 기간 동안 개인 SNS 계정을 운영하지 않음을 알려드리며, 최근 각종 SNS를 통해 JYJ 멤버를 사칭하는 계정에 관해 주의 말씀드립니다.
단순 팬 계정이 아닌 아티스트를 사칭하며 악용하는 것은 아티스트에 대한 명백한 범죄 행위이므로, 이후 사칭 계정 적발 시 강력한
법적 조치로 대응할 것입니다. 아울러 사칭 계정으로 인한 팬 여러분들의 피해가 없길 바라며, 각별한 주의를 부탁드립니다.
감사합니다. ** Notice from C-JeS Entertainment.
Lately there has been impersonations pretending that they are the JYJ
members on the social network services. Please note that Jaejoong and
Yuchun, the members of JYJ, are not using their personal SNS accounts
while the military service. Using an account not as a fan but
under the feigned name of the artist is clearly committing a crime and
we are writing this to notify that we will take all strong legal actions
against these impersonations from now on. Also, we sincerely ask all
fans to be aware of these matters and we hope there are no
inconveniences being caused. Thank you.
Fan Account by xiahjunjjyu. Previously i wrote a detailed account on the Nagoya concert on the 28th November (here)
however, that was me, objectively translating and recounting on what
Junsu said during his talk ments. Through this post I wanted to share
about a few things I observed while attending first hand and will try my
best to describe adequately how the atmosphere was like and how it felt
to be there. Every single second, I feel blessed to be able to attend a concert
and to be able to understand what JYJ are talking about without having
the need for a translator. Been that road before.. wasn’t fun.. Having a
translator at the venue only complicates things and sometimes a few
things are missed out during the transition of languages. Junsu dances so well, but this is something I realised even more
after seeing the IDMYO dance crew dancing live. Their level of dance and
technique is definitely pro (but of course) however, our Junsu even
huddled between them dances so well that you’d actually downplay the pro
dancers ability (I know i did). When Junsu appeared for the first time
on stage and performed Out of Control and Turn it up back to back, he
was panting very heavily and had to wait for a minute or two so he could
speak (this was the start of Ment 1). I previously attended the 2015 XIA 3rd Asia Tour Concert in Japan,
and compared to that time I felt a bit of a difference in Junsu.
However, it might just be because of the different city venue and the
difference in the progression of the tour, previous concert was in the
first leg of the tour. Junsu was more chatty this time around and he
interacted more with the fans. Usually he interacts and talks to fan
most during genie time however, in Nagoya (day 1) he pretty much
interacted with once during each ment. Talk recount recap:
1. During the age group check, Junsu said the people in the front are
making faces during the teens fan chant. And when he moved to the 30s,
he said those same people’s facial expression has become better.
2. Junsu said sorry to the woman who said ‘I’m healthy!’ when Junsu said
people in their fifties and above don’t need to overexert themselves. Even though Junsu did not interact personally, these two occasions
clearly shows that he is looking at everyone properly, he is listening.
But during the Japan concerts you get to see Junsu struggling with
Japanese and he honestly asks everyone to help him, and is literally
learning on stage. This adds to his interaction with the Japanese fans. Story from the moving tram on the corridors between 2F and 3F Everyone was super excited when Junsu went around the hall on this
tram, during incredible, making him near to the people in the 3F seats.
However, to get to the tram, Junsu himself walked up the stairs from the
stage to the 2F corridors, and those stairs were just beside the fans
sitting in that 2 F block seats (basically he went by super close from
me :p). There was a staff (or security) standing on each step and they
had their arms up, basically blocking any physical contact between the
fans and Junsu (and you could say a bit of vision as well). However!
Junsu’s facial expression at that time was priceless. He had such a
bright smile on his face while he quickly climbed up and into the tram.
And the funny thing is, when Junsu was approaching toward us he had this
oddest expression while smiling, I thought he’d be moving back towards
the centre of the stage anytime soon, like he previously did during turn
it up (if i’m not mistaken), when he flashed a big smile and headed
even further towards us and up the stairs. Totally caught me off guard.
He came, conquered and left XD. Junsu singing live Here, i didn’t wanted to point out how Junsu singing live is tens of
thousand times better than studio version, but I wanted to highlight
Junsu singing live during genie time with no background music. When he
started singing Jinaganda (It Will Pass) during genie time, the whole
crowd went pin drop silent and the only thing reverberating in the hall
was Junsu’s beautiful voice. It was beyond perfect. On that note, attending a concert in Japan is highly advantages, as
during ballads the whole crowd sits down and remains quiet. You can
appreciate the beauty of the voice even more. The VCR I mentioned this in my previous post that all the concert VCR had Lee
Re, fellow CJes child actress, in them. But to be more descriptive, the
first VCR was played before Junsu made his entrance. At first there was
a woman who was working overtime at her office and seemed tired. Then
in the next scene Lee Re was seen in her room, when she finds a snow
globe and touches it. After touching the globe she is transferred to a
different dimension where Junsu appears standing on some kind of a
podium steps and extends his hand to her. That is the same setting with
which Junsu makes his appearance, he was standing on a similar podium
steps as shown in the VCR. In the second VCR they showed Lee Re going through a scrapbook with
pictures and captions of all the things Junsu did and achieved from the
time of his first album till the third. In the third and last, the adult
woman joins with Lee Re and Lee Re brings the globe to her. Basically i
don’t know exactly what was going on but it seemed Lee Re and the woman
were happy (laugh). How different was Junsu in his solo concert as compared to JYJ concert? Basically not really different at all. But he interacted a tad bit
less in JYJ concert as he was interacting with his members as well. In
his solo concert if he spots a fanboy, he immediately stops to talk to
him and ask him how he came here, how did he become a fan etc. But in
the JYJ concert, I saw him being curious about a male fan, and he did
mention about him but then moved past it. I think Junsu couldn’t contain
his curiosity anymore as he stopped yoochun and jaejoong from talking
mid way and said ‘sorry but i really want to ask him’, and went through
with his questions. The Special Stage: Genie Time Everyone knows how special Genie Time is, but experiencing it is
beyond amazing. Junsu’s solo concert lacks the special touch of JYJ
talks but I feel Genie Time makes up for it equally. You can literally
feel Junsu sweating during Genie Time, and after he finishes one request
successfully, he’s always in a hurry to get done with it quickly. He
went like ‘okay okay next one, quickly lets finish this’. Watching Junsu drop to his knees with embarrassment, watching him go
eukyangkyang, seeing and hearing him practice on stage, it’s an
unforgettable moment. In the Nagoya concert, after genie time was done, Junsu let our a
sigh of relief and was super excited as he survived through it. And he
very relaxed and cockily went “okay, I feel like the whole concert is
done now with this segment done with, rest is all easy now.” Genie time
must weigh the same burden as a whole concert for Junsu then..? Genie time first wish The person who was selected for the first wish was Korean and her
Japanese seemed to be pretty weak. Junsu couldn’t properly read what her
request was so he went to ask her and she replied in Korean and Junsu
said in Korean, ‘oh are you Korean?’. He could have simply continued to
ask her what her request was in Korean, but he asked her in Japanese and
she tried her best to say it in Japanese however, the end result was
that Junsu still didn’t understand the request and told her that she
should learn Japanese together with him (laugh). In the end with the
help of the Japanese fans, Junsu figured out what her request was. ->
wake up in a sexy and romantic voice. The Korean fan wrote a wrong work
for the verb ‘wake up’, leading to the confusion. It’s all in the ‘Eukyangkyang’ for me I have an absolute time just hearing Junsu laugh. Those three hours
in Nagoya, he entertained us so much and I laughed so hard with him. He
was super happy, energetic the whole time. Easily joking around, the
atmosphere was really hyped up. The crowd was super passionate and Junsu
said he ate hitsumabushi to not loose his strength but he has lost to
everyone’s passion and power. Tourist Guide Junsu Approaching the end of the concert, Junsu mentioned about all the
places in Japan and the food they are famous for. While he himself
started the topic listing Nagoya, Tokyo and Osaka, after the fans in the
crowd started screaming other places in Japan (basically i am assuming,
their hometown). Someone mentioned Niigata, which he heard. When he
heard someone say fukuoka and talk about it, two girls sitting behind me
screamed saying that they are happy that Junsu mentioned their
hometown. This I feel was a way for Junsu to interact with the fans and
the fans were very happy. Though Junsu loves to eat, for him each
different place in Japan is associated with the food. Junsu in Korea and Junsu in Japan Looking at Seoul fancams I’ve always felt how different Junsu is in
concerts held in Japan and in Korea. However, this time around Junsu has
opened up a bit more and gotten comfortable with his Japanese as well.
He was shouting back at the fans, reacting to the fans screams and being
playful as well. So, I enjoyed that a lot since I was pretty envious of
the Korean fans as Junsu interacted with them like they were his
friends. Back Seat Jazz version I love these kinds of performances by Junsu. He always tries to show
something new. He introduced Back Seat while introducing his group JYJ. I
feel maybe on of the reasons why he decided to perform it was for JYJ.
He mentioned Jaejoong and Yoochun and was even replying back when fans
asked him questions like ‘when will you meet them next?’. I hope I wrote this account well for everyone to enjoy. This post
contains my personal opinion and the things i feel were important,
others may have a different view. Forgive me for any grammatical errors.
Thanks for reading. ^^ https://xiaoverflower.wordpress.com/
[TRANS]Musical Werther~after a long time, I always
suddenly take time and come out to give support always in the middle of
searching to enjoy a cultured life with a musical that I love. Today
there was an installment of Werther that [Super Junior’s]
Kyuhyunnie is in, as it happened, and I went as an audience member for
the first time in Yedang, where I’ve always only stood on stage, with
the mindset of wanting to even do support.
*
[TRANS]Ah! When Lotte had the cast doing Dracula
together in Yedang, it was really great that my friend [Lee] Ji-hye
undertook the role of Lucyㅎㅎ Flowers kept coming up in the middle of
halfway onstage from the seats of the orche[stra]..It was a beautiful
musical where it looked like a fragrance oozes out richly, at time,
while even delicate like a flower. Sunflower-like Lotte.
*
[TRANS]Although it is not for certain, those lyrics of the number sang by Werther just somehow remained.
‘How are you so bright..’
Falling with a whoosh in Yedang, I wonder if a sunflower is, for that reason, sad.

[FANCAM][TRANS] 151129 2015 XIA 4th Asia Tour in Japan, Nagoya (Day 2)
Translator’s note: Junsu is not fluent
in Japanese, but he still tries his best to try to convey his feelings
to the Japanese fans. I am going to translate word for word what he
said. If i feel it is too vague to understand, below that i’ll write, in
my own words, what his disjointed words are aiming at.
I really have a lot of various memories. and amongst those memories, everyone is always
well, like a-nation, all of them
At anywhere, everyone was there together (with me), right.
That is, even till now.
At that time, or right now. (You) were together with me.
I am really grateful (for that) and.
I was able to come so far, because everyone was there at that time and.
That was, all along, as usual
Don’t I say this every single time,
Till when will everyone’s heart go on?(T/N: this is what he literally said, he meant to say till when will everyone’s love and support for him continue)
(Fans: giggle)
so much,
and I honestly don’t believe it will go on for so much, (go on) forever
(Fans: ehhhhhhhh)
Of Course
Of course, it would be good if it became such a relationship.
But right now with those feelings (T/N: feelings that it won’t continue forever),
I’ve overtook, an year, an year, an year and that has now (been) 6 years.
That is why I don’t want to believe in that even more so.
That is reversely, the feelings of wanting it to continue on forever,
because it gradually becomes bigger.
Therefore, If I believe in that.
(pause)
Some day, If that disappears
that is, that is,
I thought that regarding the feelings, (I would) become lonely
so reversely, I didn’t believe in it.
and all along did a mind control so as not to believe in that.
Well, even if that disappears, it is not lonely
To tell you the reason why,
till now, even right now the people who have come here,
if, in the past, ah later,
ah the next time, (even if they) are not able to come,
That is without a question, how do I say,
I am thinking that to me it is a miracle that they even came till now.
Though i keep saying this every time
For 6 years. Though I am releasing albums in Korea for 6 years, probably
I am the only artist who hasn’t even once shown his songs or
performance on a show.
Despite this, in Korea, in Japan as well, in China as well, like this, people always come, I think is a miracle.
(audience applause)
That’s why, it’s not that I don’t have the confidence.
If everyone do not appear the next time,
more than having bad feelings regarding that, reversely to those who came till now, I want to say I am thankful (to them).
Do you understand such feelings?
It is a bit difficult to express it in Japanese.
(audience applause)
Therefore, without giving up, continuously
if everyone comes, that is even if the numbers decline, even in a hall or amongst 100 people,
I will always seriously sing from my heart.
(audience applause)
What kind of artist I will become, I as well (have thought of it) many times, even now.
Recently, that is, reversely
In the past, I aimed at how am I going to be at the top.
Right now, I am thinking how will I come down.
(fans: eeeeh, Junsu laughs)
No, but really really
It’s not that I mean that i want to come down right now.
But it is that, regarding popularity and what do i say,
ah, even if I am not able to do this kind of stage,
in a small hall, even if it becomes smaller
if there are people who (want to) come to listen to my voice, my music and if they come,
really, I will always stand on the stage
At that time, I think maybe I can return (the favour), of my feelings of gratitude right now.
Right now, probably no matter how many times i say thank you, I will not
be able to reciprocate. I think i will definitely loose to the feelings
everyone has given to me.
At that time, for sure I will return (this favour) (T/N: the fans love and support)
even if i become old and am not able to do such intense dances.
The thing that is most important, what i think is important, is the form of seriously singing from my heart.
I have confidence that I will perfectly, always, show (T/N: referring to the form mentioned above) till the time I am standing on stage,
I will become such an artist.
(audience applause)
T/N: such deep thoughts, Junsu did his
absolute best to sincerely express his thoughts in Japanese. I hope my
translation did proper justice to what he wanted to express ><

S. Korea passes ‘JYJ bill’ preventing banning of stars on TV without fair reasoning
November 30, 2015
Fans are one step closer to seeing K-pop favorites JYJ on television. The
so-called “JYJ Bill” — which prevents Korean broadcasters from banning
celebrities from airwaves without fair reasoning, and introduced by
Assemblywoman Choi Min-hee – was passed by the National Assembly,
according to Yonhap. According
to the bill, broadcasters in violation of banning celebrities from
their programs without legal reasoning will be fined for up to 2 percent
of revenue or forced to issue a correction by the Korea Communications
Commission. JYJ, comprised of former members of TVXQ, one of SM
Entertainment’s biggest acts, was used as an example in the proposal of
the bill. Its three members, who left SM in 2010 following a
contract dispute, have not been able to star on a majority of broadcasts
as a group — including music shows or variety programming — despite
several album releases. In October 2009, Seoul Central Court
ordered an injunction against SM Entertainment to halt its involvement
in preventing JYJ’s television activities. In February 2011, it gave a
court order to the agency to pay 20 million won, or about $17,250, for
each violation. In 2013, SM received an order to cease meddling with JYJ’s broadcast appearances by the Korea Fair Trade Commission. Last year, JYJ was not invited to perform at the 2014 Incheon Asian Games despite being the event’s official ambassadors. In
April this year, the appearance of JYJ member Kim Junsu on EBS music
program “Space Sympathy” made headlines. It was the singer’s first TV
music show appearance in six years. “Through the passing of this
bill, we’ve secured the rights of both celebrities, including JYJ, who
have faced unfair broadcast bans, and of viwers,” said Choi, who is of
the New Politics Alliance Democracy party. “We have fought unfair
practices for seven years and are thankful that the masses agreed with
our efforts,” JYJ agency C-Jes Entertainment said. “Through this bill,
we hope unfairness subsides in the entertainment industry.” The
effectiveness of the bill remains to be seen — the court has no
jurisdiction over the rights of production directors’ decision-making in
casting stars. “It’s hard to be optimistic about seeing this bill
as a direct road to seeing JYJ on music programs,” one director at a
K-pop idol agency told Yonhap. “But producers will now try their hardest
to operate fairly under the new law.” Korea Times US
“JYJ Law” Prohibiting Blacklisting of Celebrities Passed
The “JYJ Law,” a proposed amendment to
Korea’s broadcasting act preventing third parties from blacklisting
certain individuals or groups from appearing on television — which failed to pass earlier in June of this year — has been passed by the National Assembly.
Specifically, the amendment prohibits broadcasting
companies from preventing appearances of an individual or group on a
show due to a third party’s request that is unrelated to the production
of a show, or due to a request that comes from a third
party even after a certain individual or group has been legally cleared
to appear on a show.
If a broadcasting company violates this policy, the Korea Communications Commission can issue a corrective order or charge a fine of up to two percent of the company’s sales.
Assemblywoman Choi Min Hee, who was at the head of this proposal, said, “With this law, the rights of artists like JYJ
whose television appearances have been interfered with as well as the
rights of the fans who want to see these artists on television are
guaranteed.”
JYJ’s agency C-JeS said, “We’ve fought
with the unfair conditions for seven years, and we’re thankful that we
weren’t alone in opposing it. We hope that with this amendment, these
unjust actions will no longer occur in the entertainment industry.”
However, doubt remains, as the decision of who appears on
shows has always been and remains the show producer’s right, making
application of the law potentially difficult. Even when JYJ’s fans had
protested the prevention of the group appearing on shows, producers had
denied such accusations, saying that they’re the ones that have the
final say in show casting.
One entertainment agency director said, “I don’t expect
this amendment to immediately pave the way for JYJ to appear on music
programs. However, because it is a law put forth to protect the rights
of celebrities, I believe the producers will remain within the
boundaries of the law and try to maintain equity to avoid controversy.”
I was just reading through the tweet reports to find out Junsu’s last words, ended up compiling a few and translating. @AtsuJunsu 気
持ちを言葉にして伝えるって、私は日本語でさえすごく難しいと思う時がある。ジュンスはごまかしたりしない。辛かっただろうこと嬉しかったこと色んな経験
をしてきて〈今〉思ってることを、外国語である日本語で言葉を探して誠実に伝えてくれる。そんなジュンスの言葉を直接聞くことができて幸せです Trans: To express (your) feelings with words, there are times when i
think it’s even difficult to express it in Japanese. Junsu does not
deceive. Things that were painful, things that (made you) happy, he
experienced many things. what he is thinking <Now> , he finds
words in Japanese, which is a foreign language (to him), and sincerely
expresses. I am happy that I am able to hear such a person, Junsu’s
words directly. (xiahjunjjyu san’s feelings as well T.T) @08JYYJ02 ファーストアンコールFLP直後の甘ぁ〜いジュンチュ 「今…家ぇ〜…おー…ホテルを行ってましたけど(韓国語直訳日本語w)みなさんの声が聞こえて…おー…韓国の飛行機から…韓国の向かってる飛行機からぁ、あー…降りてきました(照れ笑い)」 Trans: Immediately following the first encore FLP’s swe~eet Junchu
“Right now.. to home~… oh-… I went to my hotel but (Korean to Japanese
literal translation w) I heard everyone’s voices… Oh-… From Korea’s
plane… from the plane heading to Korea, Ah-… I came down (shy laughter)” 明日しにましょうと言っていたのに ファーストアンコールFLP直後負けを認めたジュンチュ 「チカラ、まだ、もう…ありますね！すごいなぁー…ハァハァ…あーもう今日は、マケタッカモ」 Trans: Though he said let’s die tomorrow (T/N: this is what is written but i’m skeptical if Junsu said that, excuse me if that is the case) immediately
after the first encore FLP, admitting defeat Junchu “Energy/power,
still, have… more right! Amazing-… yes yes.. ah- Today well, I might
have lost” @clearwater118
ナムジャペンが好きという話。ジュンス自身が子供の時から男性アーティストが好きで女性アーティストにはそこまでじゃなかったから気持ちが分かるのと、でもなんでっていうのと、95%以上女性の中で目立つしよくしてあげたいって気持ちになる、そこは許してくださいって。 Trans: Talk about liking male fans. Junsu himself liked male artists
during his childhood times, and he didn’t like female artists to that
point so he understands the feeling. but to tell you the reason why,
(male fans) standout in the middle of more than 95% female (audience),
feelings wanting them to do well comes (to me), so please allow that, he
said. 18才だと僕が警察に捕まるし48才(49だった？)は法律的には問題ない…その時はジュンスうまいこと言うわ頭いいわと思ったけど結局はやんわ～り断られた感じだよね(*ノ▽ノ) (Note: I did not understand this at all, but i gave it great
thought and I believe he is referring to the age of the person he would
marry, since on day 1, fans asked him which age he liked when he was
doing the fan chant split into the age groups)
Trans: If it is 18 year old, i will be caught by the police and at 48
years (or was it 49?) there is no legal problem… At that time what Junsu
said, I thought he said such a good thing, he’s smart but in the end it
felt like him gentl~e decline right (*ノ▽ノ) ジュンスの語るメンバーの話。ユチョンはおでこ広い、ちょっと広すぎるけど(笑)だからか？頭がいい。そしてハンサム、みんなが好きになるハンサ
ム。ジェジュンはハンサム過ぎる、それで近より難いイメージがあるけど心は一番温かい、そのギャップがいい。結局はJYJ。そしてJYJコール。 Trans: Talk about members, said by Junsu. Yoochun’s forehead is
broad, it’s a bit too broad though (laugh), is it because of that? he is
smart. And Handsome, handsome that everyone would come to like.
Jaejoong is too handsome, and he has a hard to approach image but his
heart is the warmest, it is a good gap. After all is JYJ. And JYJ call. @kpkxiayu ユチョンは、皆が好きな感じ。ジェジュンは、ビジュアル⁇がすごいから…でも、すっごく優しい。三人の中で1番情熱的で…僕
は…普通。芸能人の中では。まぁ、友達のなかでは良い方ですが…w
結局はJYJ。と言ったらJYJコール起きたのにジュンス、気づかずwまぁ、そんなトコも好きなんですがw Trans: Yoochun is like what everyone likes. Jaejoong’s visual?? is
great… but he is really kind. Amongst the three, he is the most
passionate… I am… normal. Amongst the celebrities that is. Well, amongst
my friends I am on the side of good (looking) though… w In the end is
JYJ. While saying that, JYJ call started but Junsu didn’t realise w.
Well, I like that part about him as well w

don’t appear on the television, in Korea, Japan, China……. and other
countries, there are fans who are waiting (for me), It is a miracle that
this many gather at the concert. 151129ジュンスのお言葉② 今はドームとか、アリーナ規模でコンサートできてるけど、いつかはホールとか100人だけの前だけで歌う日が来ると思います…でもジュンスの歌を、声を、聴きたいと思う人が１人でもいるのなら僕は歌う Trans: 151129 Junsu’s words ② I am able to have a concert on a dome
or arena scale now but, I believe some day, such a day will come when I
will sing in a hall or infront of just 100 people… But even if there is
only one person who wants to hear Junsu’s song, his voice, I will sing. 151129ジュンスのお言葉③
今のままではファンから受ける愛が大きくて…多すぎて、どんなに頑張っても、「ありがとう」と言っても返しきれません。本当の意味で感謝を返しきれるの
は、そのとき(どれだけ人数は少なくても聴きたいというファンが集まったとき)だと思う。 Trans: 151129 Junsu’s words ③ As I am now the love received from the
fans is so big… so much that I can not return it no matter how much i
work hard or say ‘Thank you’. I believe it would be that time (no matter
how less the number is, the time when fans who want to hear gather)
when i will be able to return the real meaning of gratitude. 151129ジュンスのお言葉④ 今まで来てくれてた人が、次から来なくなったとしても残念とは思わない。その人が今までステージを観に来てくれていたから、ここまでステージに立って来れた。だから残念と思うより「今までありがとう」と、感謝すべきことです Trans: 151129 Junsu’s words ④ I wont think it’s regretful if the
person who have come till now, did not come from the next. Because that
person came to see the stage till now, I was able to stand on this stage
up till here. That’s why, more than thinking of regret, ‘thank you till
now’ and it is to be thankful for.
