Inside the Music: NIDDY on Valentine, JYJ, and Kpop’s viability.
Tyrone “NIDDY” Buckner, Co-producer, A&R, and President of Billboard Entertainment Group LLC, first made K-pop headlines in 2012 with his crossover co-collaboration between the US producer Bruce “Automatic” Vanderveer and JYJ‘s own Kim Junsu. The lyrically English track, Uncommitted,
was the first official solo English song ever released by the artist
and upon its release, it earned the number one spots on both Gaon weekly
albums chart and Amazon Japan’s album charts, and peaked at number
twenty on US iTunes. In July 2013 NIDDY, along with Automatic,
co-collaborated with Junsu once again for the title track of the
artist’s second solo album, Incredible.
The summer party track hit album charts in a big way, charting well on
Gaon, Amazon, and US iTunes, and snagged a coveted fifth place spot on
the US Billboard charts.
With JYJ’s release of its third studio album, Just US, in August 2014, fans saw another side of JYJ’s ever evolving career and responded in kind by solidifying over 120,000 copies sold in pre-sales and helping sky rocket the album up to number one on the Gaon monthly album and Hanteo weekly charts, number three on Japan’s Oricon weekly album charts, and hitting number four on Billboard’s World Album charts.With the success of Just US fresh in our minds, we sat down with NIDDY once again to get more insight on the track Valentine, more on the enigmatic group that is K-pop’s JYJ, and his thoughts on K-pop’s true viability in the western market.
What was your experience like working with the C-Jes executives and staff during the process of producing Valentine?
ND: “My experience while working with C-JeS staff was actually very pleasant, during the pre-production and production of Valentine. C-JeS staff are very energetic, fun, vibrant, professional people and they were phenomenal. To be the only African American among them, when business was taking place, was a lot to take in but the C-JeS staff and managers made me feel really comfortable and part of the family. Ray Yeom, Director of C-JeS America, did a really good job of bringing a team together and managing the relationships between the C-JeS USA and C-JeS Korea. It was a wonderful experience.
What were your experiences like, meeting and spending time, with the three members of JYJ? Are there any unique differences between the members, that you had a chance to notice, that you would like to share?
ND: “The first time we had a chance to hang out and get know each other was when they were on tour in 2012. When we started to work together on all the previous projects, along with Valentine, it was more of an intimate setting. They were a lot more comfortable around me so I got to know each member individually.”
ND: “The first person that really opened up around me was definitely Yoochun. Producer J-TRX and I actually gave Yoochun a new nickname after getting to know him better. We dubbed him “hip-hop” because he’s just got this swag. Maybe it was because he spent a lengthy amount of time in the US in his younger years, or maybe because he felt more at home with us, I don’t know. But he was always comfortable around us and always cracking jokes.”
ND: “In the studio, one of greatest times I had with JYJ was when Junsu and Jaejoong were sitting on the couch (Yoochun was standing off to the side) and we were going over lyrics. I started singing the lyrics, really getting into it, and Junsu gets up and starts moving and singing along. Junsu just goes crazy and you see Jaejoong just sitting there all cool, calm and collected like it was completely normal.”
Do you believe Valentine can be a top Billboard charting record in USA?
ND: “Absolutely. I do believe that Valentine can top the Billboard charts. If the fans want to see JYJ reach other territories in the global music industry and want to see JYJ become this huge mega group beyond Korea and Asia, then it’s up to the fans to take this track to the next level. Because, this is the record that can actually cross over into the global mainstream market and make radio worldwide. And KILL. All the fans have to do is show their power. This track can give the fans the voice they’ve always wanted, the voice to be able to bring Valentine, and tracks like it, to mainstream radio.”
What are your thoughts about K-pop collaborations with American award winning talent in the future?
ND: “I think it’s coming in a big way. It just comes back to the point of having someone understanding the value of it all and push the agenda. That’s what I want to do. I want to prove that K-pop collaborations are the next step in the music industry’s evolution. Collaborative tracks and co-performances on stage, between K-pop artists and US artists, are the future. If the fans challenge both industries to do more, you will see many MANY more collaborations like Valentine in the future, for sure.”
We know that you were the driving force behind the hit records Uncommitted and Incredible for JYJ’s own Kim Junsu. How does it feel to have now released a track with the entire group?
ND: “It feels absolutely amazing because its been so many years that C-JeS has been talking about this group coming back together. The fans were getting just completely impatient. Nobody even knew if these guys were going to have a comeback or not because their careers were just going in so many directions for the longest time. From acting and musicals, to solo projects, modelling, and sports, you just didn’t know if JYJ was ever going to come back. I never knew if this record would ever make an album because they were so busy with everything else. I was extremely excited and just overjoyed that the album finally came out. Its a complete blessing.”
Are there any other records you worked or are working on with JYJ?
ND: “We do have some phenomenal tracks that are still in the cans, waiting to be released, and I can’t wait till the world can experience them.”
Were you able to introduce JYJ to any other major American talent?
ND: “Yes. I introduced them to YMCMB, Timbaland, Swizz Beatz, Nicki Minaj, Drake, Tank, Dr. Dre., P. Diddy, Duane Darock, Will.I.AM, Nelly, NO I.D, Bryan Michael Cox, JUKEBOX, Jimmy Ivine, Twista, and FLO RIDA.”
Is anyone you would like to thank?

One of the world's biggest -- if not THE biggest -- events for actors, the Academy Awards will take place next March.
The anticipation is already mounting and potentially competing in the Best Foreign-language category will be Korea's "Haemoo."
For more, we have our film critic Jason Bechervaise live in the studio.
So, Jason, how does this work exactly? Korea submits a film, and then it has a chance to be short-listed?
Essentially yes. Each year the Korean Film Council otherwise known as KOFIC decide on a film they feel has a chance to be nominated for the Best Foreign-Language award, and this year they have chosen HAEMOO. We’ll get on to why they chose HAEMOO shortly, but as to how it works from here, is that it joins a number of submissions (76 entered last year) so it’s a tough race, and it will be competing with some very strong films and in January several hundred academy voters will select six films from a shortlist, and then a committee will add three that have been overlooked, and then two sets of voters (one from the East and West coast) will pick 5 films.
So what aspects -- in terms of quality -- are these voters looking for?
The academy tends to have a particular taste, and there are things they tend to prefer. Films based on history, or films that explore social issues that are not too dark tend to be looked at favorable with the academy. Last year THE GREAT BEAUTY by Paulo Sorrentino won the Oscar, and the year before ARMOR by Michael Haneke won it, both of which did well at festivals.
Would you say the Oscars are somewhat Eurocentric when it comes to the Foreign Language Award?
For sure, and you have to remember who the voters are, and many of them have European heritage, and so they can relate and understand the films better. Japanese films though have fared better then Korean films (won four times; nominated 19 times).
No Korean film has ever been nominated?
Yes, and this comes up every year, and people do wonder what it takes for a Korean film to be nominated especially since Korean films are so popular on the global market.
So why HAEMOO ?
The Korean Film Council said that the reception the film (directed by Shim Sung-bo and starring Kim Yoon-suk, Han Ye-ri, Park Yoo-chun) received at the Toronto International Film Festival was a big factor, and I was there, and it certainly generated much praise for its strong visual style and compelling narrative (it’s about fisherman who smuggle Chinese-Koreans on board a boat that goes horribly wrong). Also, SNOWPIERCER, which is directed by Bong Joon Ho is also being considered for some of the main categories (Best Directing, adapted screenplay, best supporting actress (Tilda Swinton) and given Bong’s connection to HAEMOO (he produced and co-wrote) that could also be a factor ? the power of Bong Joon-ho’s name.
So as an expert, what's your outlook? Do either film have a chance of getting nominated?
My only worry with HAEMOO and SNOWPIERCER too, actually, is that they are very dark. The academy don’t tend to pick such films, and so I think, if I am honest, it’s a long shot (in terms of HAEMOO), but at the same time, I think it’s the best decision. A GIRL AT MY DOOR was also a potential possibility, which is produced by Lee Chang-dong, but with Bong Joon Ho as popular as he is, I think HAEMOO was the right choice. As for SNOWPIERCER, I think it could get nominated for best supporting actress and Best Adapted Screenplay ? it has a realistic chance, especially given how well the film was received in the States, but again, lots of competition, and it was released before the awards season begins.
Apart from Director Bong, which Korean director do you think has a fair chance of having a movie nominated for the Best Foreign Language at the Oscars?
I think if there was a director that can do it, it’s Lee Chang-dong, which I know may sound ironic given what I said. His appetite to make films with a social critique and his visual style suits the academy taste, and he’s consistent. I think if he’s given a decent budget to make a masterpiece that can pick up some awards in Cannes and other festivals, I think he could do it. Both Bong Joon Ho and Park Chan-wook could also make films that go on to get that all important nomination, but their styles are not typical of the academy’s taste, but SNOWPIERCER could change that
Alright, thank you Jason for dropping by.

태국 방콕에서 열린 JYJ 아시아 투어 피날레 무대!
정규 2집 컴백 후 가진 이번 아시아투어를 통해 팬 여러분들의 사랑을 다시 한번 느낄 수 있었습니다^^
Final concert of JYJ Asia Tour that were held in Bangkok Thailand!
They say after their comeback with the 2nd album, they could feel the love of their fans again through this tour^^
By |
With JYJ’s release of its third studio album, Just US, in August 2014, fans saw another side of JYJ’s ever evolving career and responded in kind by solidifying over 120,000 copies sold in pre-sales and helping sky rocket the album up to number one on the Gaon monthly album and Hanteo weekly charts, number three on Japan’s Oricon weekly album charts, and hitting number four on Billboard’s World Album charts.With the success of Just US fresh in our minds, we sat down with NIDDY once again to get more insight on the track Valentine, more on the enigmatic group that is K-pop’s JYJ, and his thoughts on K-pop’s true viability in the western market.
With your previous experience working with members of JYJ, how did you come to be a part of their latest album?
ND: “When CJeS first approached me it was to
help JYJ break into the US market. So, that was the first initiation
into everything. Initially, there was never supposed to be a solo
project. I was brought in just to work with the entire group and through
the success and hard work of me bringing so much music to the table,
and the fact that JYJ was sort of split between acting and music at the
time, it put me in a position to work on Junsu’s solo projects while
they started to amp up for the group comeback. When we initially
recorded Uncommitted, and we were working on Incredible, we also worked
on other tracks that hadn’t been released. Valentine being one of them.”
The
song, Valentine, became a hit with the fans rather quickly. How did you
go about choosing the song and what made it, in your mind, a perfect fit
for JYJ’s new album?
ND: “When we were originally choosing tracks
for the entire group, I went through a ton of records and traveled all
around the country trying to find songs that I felt were going to be
able to destroy the US Charts. For me, it wasn’t just about making the
records and making it hit big in the US, Asia, or even South America. It
was really about finding the track that would allow us to break JYJ
here in the US in a big way. I went around and worked with well known
artists such as Timbaland, YMCMB, Swizz Beatz, Pharrell Williams, Drake,
Nicki Minaj, Dr. Dre, Chris Brown, and so many huge producers that were
just hit makers in search of the perfect songs for the group. I came
back to the table with a lot of different options but it was Valentine
(originally cut by Chris Brown) that really spoke to me. I knew, the
second I heard the track, that this was the one; the one the boys could
totally kill.”
With
the song originally being recorded and written by Chris Brown, did you
believe that JYJ would be able to do the track justice? And if so, do
you feel that they did indeed live up to your expectations?
ND: “Absolutely. The great thing about
working with both JYJ and C-JeS, at that time, was that C-JeS made a
really smart move, which was bring in someone that has their ear to the
ground outside of what they think is happening or is trending, and I
hope to see more K-pop labels do the same. What C-JeS did before we even
got started working, was to give me an on opportunity to get to know
the group (and their stuff) on a personal level. How they formed. How
they worked. And how their fans responded to their music. They gave me
the opportunity to listen to their previous works, music they had
created before and that gave me an understanding of where they wanted to
go. So when we decided on Valentine being the record, I knew how to put
all the people in place and execute the record so they would be able to
achieve the sound and the feel of the track perfectly. This record is
so special because its a collaboration between some of the biggest names
in the business. When JYJ came in, they did a phenomenal job – even far
better than my already high expectations. I knew that they were going
to be great, that they were going to pull it off, and they did.”
It
has been several years, and several albums ago, since JYJ (as a whole)
have release an English track, what made you decide that they could not
only sing a track in full English but also do it well?
ND: “The initial English collaboration with
Kanye West was good, even though that particular record didn’t pan out
as well as it should have. With it, I really got to see that these guys
could really execute an English record well, if done right. So, we
really took our time on the track, and JYJ really took the time to
understand the lyrics, emotions, and delivery of the track. They were
very patient when we were in the studio. They worked hard and made sure
to do it right.”
What was your experience like working with the C-Jes executives and staff during the process of producing Valentine?
ND: “My experience while working with C-JeS staff was actually very pleasant, during the pre-production and production of Valentine. C-JeS staff are very energetic, fun, vibrant, professional people and they were phenomenal. To be the only African American among them, when business was taking place, was a lot to take in but the C-JeS staff and managers made me feel really comfortable and part of the family. Ray Yeom, Director of C-JeS America, did a really good job of bringing a team together and managing the relationships between the C-JeS USA and C-JeS Korea. It was a wonderful experience.
How
where you able to bring so many award winning producers, songwriters,
vocal producers and engineers to work with a K-pop group like JYJ?
ND: “I SOLD K-pop. Everybody on that
particular record already knew about K-pop but it just wasn’t viable for
them at the time. What I was able to do in the process was to show them
what JYJ has done. I said “Look at who they are, what they’ve done in
the past, and more importantly, look at their fan base.” With that
information in hand, I was able to explain who JYJ is, who their fans
really are, and explain the difference between their fans and the
particular person’s fans. The K-pop fans’ drive, determination, and
unwavering support, really struck a cord in them.”
What were some of the challenges you had in working with JYJ and their label on this project?
ND: “Some of the challenges, when working
with the groups, were really getting the label to understand the process
when working with major US artists and producers. You take a group who
are superstars in Asia, and have earned a massive amount of respect
overseas, and then bring them here to work with US artists who are
superstars in their own right, sometimes there can be economical
differences and misunderstandings of artistic arrangement. So, that was a
very difficult part of the process, getting a meeting of the minds
so-to-speak.”
What were your experiences like, meeting and spending time, with the three members of JYJ? Are there any unique differences between the members, that you had a chance to notice, that you would like to share?
ND: “The first time we had a chance to hang out and get know each other was when they were on tour in 2012. When we started to work together on all the previous projects, along with Valentine, it was more of an intimate setting. They were a lot more comfortable around me so I got to know each member individually.”
ND: “The first person that really opened up around me was definitely Yoochun. Producer J-TRX and I actually gave Yoochun a new nickname after getting to know him better. We dubbed him “hip-hop” because he’s just got this swag. Maybe it was because he spent a lengthy amount of time in the US in his younger years, or maybe because he felt more at home with us, I don’t know. But he was always comfortable around us and always cracking jokes.”
ND: “In the studio, one of greatest times I had with JYJ was when Junsu and Jaejoong were sitting on the couch (Yoochun was standing off to the side) and we were going over lyrics. I started singing the lyrics, really getting into it, and Junsu gets up and starts moving and singing along. Junsu just goes crazy and you see Jaejoong just sitting there all cool, calm and collected like it was completely normal.”
ND: “One of the funnest experiences I shared
with Jaejoong was right before we headed out to Supper Club Hollywood.
In the photo, from that night that’s been floating around (pictured
above), you see Jaejoong sitting in the in the driver’s seat of a
convertible Rolls Royce, me in the passenger seat, and Junsu and Francis
Kim sitting in the back, but we were really just sitting there posing.
The truth is that Jaejoong didn’t want to drive because he didn’t know
where he was going at the time. Junsu’s just chilling in the back,
laughing away because of something Jaejoong said in Korean. I didn’t
know what he said but I sure got how adamant he was about not driving.
So the management comes to me and says “Hey NIDDY, Why don’t you
drive?”. I’m like “I really don’t want to do it.” because I didn’t want
to be responsible for the car or be responsible for JYJ getting into an
accident or something while they were in the US. And they respond with
“But you’re family. You worked hard so you should get to enjoy the
benefits too.” So I get in the driver’s and while I am driving, we’re
all laughing at the fact that neither Jaejoong or I could figure out how
to work the car’s high-tech stereo system. Jaejoong’s looking at it, I
am looking at it, he’s fiddling with it, I’m fiddling with, and we just
had absolutely had no clue how to get it to work. It was hilarious.”
After
spending so much time with JYJ on a one-on-one personal basis, how
would you best describe their uninhibited personalities? What are they
like behind the scenes, away from the cameras?
ND: “The first thought that comes to mind is
that they are TRUE brothers. When they are really comfortable around
you, you really get to see how they are real brothers to one another.
They play around and tease each other all the time while having not only
a deep love for one another but also an even deeper respect.”
ND: “If I were to describe Yoochun’s
personality, I would say that he’s the risk taker, the bad boy, who’s
fun, versatile, and confident. Junsu, is just downright silly, chipper,
and playful. Maybe it’s because he’s the youngest of the group, or maybe
it’s because he is just that way by nature, I don’t know but he really
gives off an air of being very extra-special. Jaejoong, however, is
really unlike the other two. He is more the reserved, chill,
contemplative, and driven big brother. You can just tell that he cares
about his brothers and really wants to do what’s best for them, to look
out for them like the big brother he is.”
Do you believe Valentine can be a top Billboard charting record in USA?
ND: “Absolutely. I do believe that Valentine can top the Billboard charts. If the fans want to see JYJ reach other territories in the global music industry and want to see JYJ become this huge mega group beyond Korea and Asia, then it’s up to the fans to take this track to the next level. Because, this is the record that can actually cross over into the global mainstream market and make radio worldwide. And KILL. All the fans have to do is show their power. This track can give the fans the voice they’ve always wanted, the voice to be able to bring Valentine, and tracks like it, to mainstream radio.”
What are your thoughts about K-pop collaborations with American award winning talent in the future?
ND: “I think it’s coming in a big way. It just comes back to the point of having someone understanding the value of it all and push the agenda. That’s what I want to do. I want to prove that K-pop collaborations are the next step in the music industry’s evolution. Collaborative tracks and co-performances on stage, between K-pop artists and US artists, are the future. If the fans challenge both industries to do more, you will see many MANY more collaborations like Valentine in the future, for sure.”
We know that you were the driving force behind the hit records Uncommitted and Incredible for JYJ’s own Kim Junsu. How does it feel to have now released a track with the entire group?
ND: “It feels absolutely amazing because its been so many years that C-JeS has been talking about this group coming back together. The fans were getting just completely impatient. Nobody even knew if these guys were going to have a comeback or not because their careers were just going in so many directions for the longest time. From acting and musicals, to solo projects, modelling, and sports, you just didn’t know if JYJ was ever going to come back. I never knew if this record would ever make an album because they were so busy with everything else. I was extremely excited and just overjoyed that the album finally came out. Its a complete blessing.”
Are there any other records you worked or are working on with JYJ?
ND: “We do have some phenomenal tracks that are still in the cans, waiting to be released, and I can’t wait till the world can experience them.”
Were you able to introduce JYJ to any other major American talent?
ND: “Yes. I introduced them to YMCMB, Timbaland, Swizz Beatz, Nicki Minaj, Drake, Tank, Dr. Dre., P. Diddy, Duane Darock, Will.I.AM, Nelly, NO I.D, Bryan Michael Cox, JUKEBOX, Jimmy Ivine, Twista, and FLO RIDA.”
What’s next for NIDDY?
ND: “I’m in the process of rolling out
additional projects with other K-pop artists, that I can’t divulge any
detail about at this time. In the spring/summer of 2015 I will be
launching a new urban/K-pop inspired female clothing line, called “HELLO NIDDY“,
that I have been working on for two years with my lead designer Monica
Zaharia that I met because of K-pop. More information about that
particular project will be released early next year.”
Is anyone you would like to thank?
ND: “First of all, I would like to thank
hellokpop for always being so supportive. I also want to thank C-JeS for
giving me the opportunity to work with the fellas. I obviously want to
thank JYJ. Its been an absolute pleasure working with them and I’m
looking forward to many more opportunities with them in the years to
come. I want to thank the entire team that worked on this project:
Lonny Bereal, Charlie Bereal, Chris Brown, Charmelle Colfield, Beau
Vallis, Jaycen Joshua, and DJ Mark Da Spot; Ray Yeom, Francis Kim,
Jerrold Thompson, and most definitely the fans because they are the
reason why I do what I do. So thank you fans for always being supportive
of JYJ and for continually supporting what I’m doing.”
Last but not least, what do want the world to know about you and your affiliation with the success of K-pop in the USA?
ND: “I want the world to know that I’m
passionate about the collaborative possibilities with K-pop and American
artists, and its the future. I am one of those people out there, if the
given the opportunity, I can make it happen for these major K-pop
labels and bring more awareness to the US market. So we can really take
this thing to the next level.”

REEL Talk: HAEMOO chosen as Korea’s entry for Best Film in Foreign Language
Updated: 2014-09-26 12:02:17 (KST)One of the world's biggest -- if not THE biggest -- events for actors, the Academy Awards will take place next March.
The anticipation is already mounting and potentially competing in the Best Foreign-language category will be Korea's "Haemoo."
For more, we have our film critic Jason Bechervaise live in the studio.
So, Jason, how does this work exactly? Korea submits a film, and then it has a chance to be short-listed?
Essentially yes. Each year the Korean Film Council otherwise known as KOFIC decide on a film they feel has a chance to be nominated for the Best Foreign-Language award, and this year they have chosen HAEMOO. We’ll get on to why they chose HAEMOO shortly, but as to how it works from here, is that it joins a number of submissions (76 entered last year) so it’s a tough race, and it will be competing with some very strong films and in January several hundred academy voters will select six films from a shortlist, and then a committee will add three that have been overlooked, and then two sets of voters (one from the East and West coast) will pick 5 films.
So what aspects -- in terms of quality -- are these voters looking for?
The academy tends to have a particular taste, and there are things they tend to prefer. Films based on history, or films that explore social issues that are not too dark tend to be looked at favorable with the academy. Last year THE GREAT BEAUTY by Paulo Sorrentino won the Oscar, and the year before ARMOR by Michael Haneke won it, both of which did well at festivals.
Would you say the Oscars are somewhat Eurocentric when it comes to the Foreign Language Award?
For sure, and you have to remember who the voters are, and many of them have European heritage, and so they can relate and understand the films better. Japanese films though have fared better then Korean films (won four times; nominated 19 times).
No Korean film has ever been nominated?
Yes, and this comes up every year, and people do wonder what it takes for a Korean film to be nominated especially since Korean films are so popular on the global market.
So why HAEMOO ?
The Korean Film Council said that the reception the film (directed by Shim Sung-bo and starring Kim Yoon-suk, Han Ye-ri, Park Yoo-chun) received at the Toronto International Film Festival was a big factor, and I was there, and it certainly generated much praise for its strong visual style and compelling narrative (it’s about fisherman who smuggle Chinese-Koreans on board a boat that goes horribly wrong). Also, SNOWPIERCER, which is directed by Bong Joon Ho is also being considered for some of the main categories (Best Directing, adapted screenplay, best supporting actress (Tilda Swinton) and given Bong’s connection to HAEMOO (he produced and co-wrote) that could also be a factor ? the power of Bong Joon-ho’s name.
So as an expert, what's your outlook? Do either film have a chance of getting nominated?
My only worry with HAEMOO and SNOWPIERCER too, actually, is that they are very dark. The academy don’t tend to pick such films, and so I think, if I am honest, it’s a long shot (in terms of HAEMOO), but at the same time, I think it’s the best decision. A GIRL AT MY DOOR was also a potential possibility, which is produced by Lee Chang-dong, but with Bong Joon Ho as popular as he is, I think HAEMOO was the right choice. As for SNOWPIERCER, I think it could get nominated for best supporting actress and Best Adapted Screenplay ? it has a realistic chance, especially given how well the film was received in the States, but again, lots of competition, and it was released before the awards season begins.
Apart from Director Bong, which Korean director do you think has a fair chance of having a movie nominated for the Best Foreign Language at the Oscars?
I think if there was a director that can do it, it’s Lee Chang-dong, which I know may sound ironic given what I said. His appetite to make films with a social critique and his visual style suits the academy taste, and he’s consistent. I think if he’s given a decent budget to make a masterpiece that can pick up some awards in Cannes and other festivals, I think he could do it. Both Bong Joon Ho and Park Chan-wook could also make films that go on to get that all important nomination, but their styles are not typical of the academy’s taste, but SNOWPIERCER could change that
Alright, thank you Jason for dropping by.

[NEWS] 140925 JYJ’s Kim Junsu, “Because of Age? For the fans, I won’t give up dance songs”
JYJ member Kim Junsu (27) revealed that he would not give up on dance songs even though he is approaching the age of 30.
On the 20th, a press conference for the

at Shanghai’s Mercedes-Benz Arena at 6:50pm KST. There, Kim Junsu was

and to that, he replied ‘So far, there’s nothing that’s tough because of
age.”
Kim Junsu continued, “Actually, I have
something to say. The two members wanted to remove dance songs (from
concerts and albums), bringing laughter to the room. He said, “JYJ are
idols and even though it could be embarrassing (because of age), I
cannot give up dance because I feel the need to make it enjoyable for
the fans who watched our dance (performance) and liked us.
He livened up the atmosphere by saying,
“My solo songs for this concert are all dance songs. To be honest, I
want to sing ballad songs but the other members are doing that.”

JYJ’s Junsu Is A ‘Musical Actor,’ Not A ‘Celebrity’
By Lily James | September 23, 2014
The singer attended the press conference before JYJ's "The Return of the King"
concert at Shanghai's Mercedes Benz Arena where he gave his fans a
snippet of his life as an actor, according to the Korean publication
Osen Entertainment.
"There's
a different way of singing for musicals, which was difficult to adjust
to in the beginning. Because of my background as an idol member, I used
to sing like one for the musicals, but I've adjusted now," explained
Junsu when asked about the difficulties transitioning from singing to
acting.Junsu has flourished in the musical theater industry, recently being cast as Count Dracula for the musical "Dracula."
Aside
from his acting career, Junsu has gone on to progress in his music
career as a solo artist. Junsu held his "2014 XIA The Best Ballad Spring
Tour Concert in Japan" in Tokyo earlier this summer, according to the
website Yahoo Entertainment Malaysia.
Tickets
for all of his six shows were completely sold out as the concert was
reportedly prepared for the many Japanese fans who traveled to Korea
just to attend the 27-year-old's musicals.
Junsu debuted back in 2003 as a member of the boy band TVXQ. The actor decided to leave the group along with JYJ members Jaejoong and Yoochun after filing a lawsuit against their former management agency, SM Entertainment.
The
artist officially began his solo career in 2010 with the release of his
Japanese single "Xiah," according to the Japanese media outlet Oricon
Style.
Despite
his success, Junsu revealed at the recent press conference that he
still finds it difficult to see himself as a "celebrity."
"It's
weird calling myself a celebrity because I feel like I haven't done
enough on screen. I love being in musicals. I'm more comfortable being
called a musical actor because I'm accustomed to people telling me how
much they enjoyed me in 'Elizabeth' and 'Dracula," explained Junsu.

By Lily James | September 22, 2014
The artists, who currently make up the idol group JYJ, showed K-pop fans that they've only gotten better and stronger as they performed for a total of 11,000 fans at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai over the weekend, according to the Korean news outlet Osen Entertainment.
As the group made their return to Shanghai in four years, the trio has vowed to work harder in releasing material as a group and solo entertainers.
"In the past, I always thought about limitations. 'What am I supposed to do after this?' was always a thought that I had, even during a project. I don't think about things like that anymore. I used to hate thinking that we had limitations, but as my fellow members and I delved into our acting careers, I think we grew a lot. I'm thankful that I always have my members with me and for my solo career," stated JYJ vocalist Jaejoong.
After they decided to terminate their contract as members of TVXQ, the singers of JYJ have gone through their ups and downs together due to their legal battle with former management agency,SM Entertainment, according to the publication Popdust.
Since leaving TVXQ, JYJ has been known for "developing separately together," as they've ventured into the acting industry while working on their music careers together. All three members have been cast in Korean dramas, movies and musicals since they debuted.
Yoochun is continuously being recognized as one of the more prominent actors to come out the K-pop industry. Despite his success, the artist revealed that he's still accustomed to making music than acting.
"When I go from an acting role to another acting role, I do feel a little overwhelmed. However, when I transition from an acting role back to my music, it's not difficult at all. I feel like there's nothing holding me back when I return to my role as a singer," explained Yoochun.
The singer added, "It's been a long time since I've thought about what will or will not work. I'm happy with what I'm doing and I'm thankful that I'm able to progress with my fellow members."

Because Sol Kyung Gu, Choi Min Sik, and Kwak Do Won are all impressionist actors, (I was scared) but when I got to know them, they’re all warm and good people. Everyone in the company really feels like family (to me),” added Junsu.
