#ジェジュン is awesome! I was totally attracted to the extent that this will cancel the flamed IG post of him. Singing together in 玉置浩二ショー is something. ( omission) I was healed under the Corona disaster.

I don’t know much about #ジェジュン -san but I was impressed that he sang a song so beautifully in Japanese in the country which is not his home. Melody was good

(Trans) Dear Tamaki Koji-san, thank you so much for inviting #ジェジュン as a guest to such a significant show... We’re most grateful...

#ジェジュン ‘s song was awesome as always. I was even more touched that Tamaki Koji-san was singing in a key for JJ. ⭐︎ Thank you for the wonderful duet!!

#ジェジュン-san’s singing was 500M times as great as I had imagined

I want him to sing all different songs.

I rarely watch TV but I happened to see Tamaki Koji sing. He’s a great singer of course but a singer who was singing next to him, #ジェジュン ? was also so great. He seems to be Korean but to my surprise he was singing a Japanese song so beautifully.

Tweet of a producer,director (Trans) The most powerful collaboration! Two great singers!

Non fan (Trans) Watching #玉置浩二ショー I was stunned to find a singer named #ジェジュン -san was singing so well. Never imagined a singer who can sing a Tamaki’s song like that. Not bad at all.

#TvLife 5/15 Issue #ジェジュン also reveled an unexpected friendship JJ: Talking abt Netflix I watched ‘Naked Director’ bcs it’s a drama starring #山田孝之 Yamada Takayuki. It was really interesting, not from erotic point of view.

It was a work of art.

I happened to meet Yamada -san at a restaurant. Since then we got along & often drink together. He’s such a nice person. Recently he contacted me to tell that he’s working for the season 2.

#TvLife 5/15 Issue #ジェジュン #RayofLight Asked abt his interest in anime JJ: I belong to the generation of ‘Dragon Ball’, ‘Slam Dunk’, & ‘Sailor Moon’

So I don’t know much about recent animes. But I watched all the episodes of ‘鬼滅の刃:Demon Slayer’ which was on a recommendation list of Netflix. So I started to watch then I found it very interesting. Being busy I only watched the first 3 episodes but I was determined to watch it till the end. So I did . As for ‘One Piece’ I watched halfway so I made a record this time!

TV LIFE 5/15 Issue #ジェジュン Brava Brava Brava I wanted a dance for ppl in all ages, from kids to elderly, so choreographer & I were thinking till the previous day of MV filming. It took time to come up with a good idea. While sitting down I just stretched my arms & moved.

‘Isn’t this nice? ‘ This is how a Bike Dance was born. Would be a lot of fun if I could dance together with fans at live. As for Metronome Dance just imagining fans to collaborate each other in the same line is also a lot of fun. When I see it from the stage I’m sure to laugh

#TVLife 5/15 Issue #ジェジュン Asked abt the recent state of his privacy JJ: I’m into Japanese history. I’m studying something like why fish culture has developed greatly here. I sometimes watch YouTube videos abt Japanese history made by a Korean living in Japan.

It’s really a fun to learn abt history & cultures of the country I’m interested in.

#TVLIFE Premium #ジェジュン JJ: Along with the release of Brava3/Ray of Light ad. truck run around the city & PV was shown on the big visions in Shibuya & Dotombori. So I went to Shibuya to see it myself from the car. It was really touching. I was also glad that fans took pictures of such scenes and posted them on their social media. As I hardly had a chance to meet my fans I felt great love of my fans through SNS.

#TVLIFE Premium #ジェジュン About #Matt JJ: As he says he’s like an alien. He seems to have strong preference abt anything but actually he can get along with everyone, pure like a little boy. On my birthday I was given a hand mirror with his face! When I got it I was like

“What is THIS ?!! “

I hear it’s a limited item of a few in the world. I always keep it in my bag to use.

#TVLIFE #ジェジュン If we could ask your pet cats abt JJ what would they say? JJ: Ha-ha, I wonder what they would say...

I guess they would say bad things a lot. When leaving I remove my cats’ hairs from my clothing using a sticky roller(koro koro), Coco comes to me & leaves her hairs on purpose. Nene, when I close the door to leave, always knocks something over & Coco hides herself to prevent me from going out. They don’t want me to go. I guess they’ll miss me. As I love to tease them they’re maybe saying “Cut it out !“

I hear there’s a translation machine for animal languages. I would like to buy one.

#TVLIFE Premium #ジェジュン When he appeared in FNS music program he didn’t have his right hand in a cast. Fans were worried abt his swollen hand. JJ: Not swollen but my hand’s bone seems to become misshapen. I think I’ll have to have an operation someday. It still hurts but I felt free when I removed the cast

As expected it was quite inconvenient when I used the toilet, washed my hands, & took a shower. Being an absolutely right-handed person I had a trouble eating. But now I can use my left hand for chopsticks. I was surprised when I removed the cast. The injured part of the back of my hand had some hairs. They say hair grows in a weak part of one’s body. So I guess my body tried hard to protect my hand.

#TVLIFE Premium #ジェジュン often checks Japanese TV programs. JJ: I watch all kinds including news programs, even the live broadcast of parliamentary proceedings. Then I understand what’s actually discussed whereas news tells only a part of the matter.

I like to watch sumo (wrestling) tournament.Seeing my friend in a TV program I think “Wow he’s a celeb! “ or “He shows off today or shows his true colors.” Talking about true colors my friend said “You acted just the way you are when you appeared in a program of bar hopping.

I cannot show off when I get drunk

K-pop stars open new chapter in careers with musicals

The Korea Herald/Asia News Network / 02:20 PM April 21, 2020

Read more: https://entertainment.inquirer.net/372288/k-pop-stars-open-new-chapter-in-careers-with-musicals#ixzz6KHhSU3mP
SEOUL — K-pop stars often make the most of their fame by venturing into a diverse range of second careers, such as acting or business. In recent years, more and more K-pop stars’ names are appearing on the cast lists of major musical productions as idols establish themselves in the highly popular musical scene.
Initially, K-pop stars who landed major roles in musicals were met with hostility, as it was feared that musical actors — actors trained specifically in the genre — could lose out to big-name K-pop stars who enjoyed a huge following.

Indeed, some K-pop stars were awarded roles due to their popularity, not necessarily their talent. There were stars who could not adapt to the musical stage. Some were less than dedicated, skipping script readings and rehearsals, citing busy schedules.
Even stars like Ock Ju-hyun and Kim Jun-su had rough beginnings. But over the years they have become the best-known names in the musical scene and have proven their dedication.
Ock, a member of disbanded girl group Fin.K.L, turned to musicals in 2005, soon after the band broke up. After debuting in “Aida,” she went on to star in numerous musical productions, ranging from “Chicago,” “Cats” “Elisabeth,” “Monte Cristo” and “Mata Hari” to “Marie Antoinette” and “Rebecca.”

Kim Jun-su, formerly of boy band TVXQ, made his musical debut in 2010. Upon leaving TVXQ in 2009 following a legal dispute, he took the lead role in “Mozart!” and began a new chapter in his life — eventually starring in “Elisabeth,” “Death Note,” “Dorian Gray,” “Xcalibur” and more. Currently he stars in “Dracula,” which is set to resume its run Tuesday after a 20-day suspension as a precaution against COVID-19.

More K-pop singers have followed in the footsteps of Ock and Kim, taking on big and small roles in musical shows. Kyuhyun of Super Junior and Suho of Exo recently starred in “The Man Who Laughs.” Seohyun of Girls’ Generaton, Ken and Leo of Vixx, Lee Chang-sub of BtoB and Kei of Lovelyz are among the other K-pop stars who have ventured into the world of musicals.

“K-pop stars have a relatively short career lifespan — the maximum is usually eight years or so. After that, they have to find new careers, such as acting. Musicals, which involve singing and dancing, are certainly one of the choices for them,” culture critic Jung Deok-hyeon said.
“Of course, it’s not just about the guaranteed (paycheck). There has to be a passion for musicals,” he added. “But it is true that the musical genre is huge here.”
As Jung pointed out, musicals account for a large share of ticket sales in the performing arts scene here. According to the Korea Performing Arts Box Office Information System, musicals generated about 72.4 percent of ticket sales for performing arts productions in 2019, or 166.4 billion won ($136 million).
Even during the COVID-19 crisis, which is pushing the performing arts scene to the brink, musicals accounted for up to 80 percent of total ticket sales, bringing in 8.08 billion won in March.

Jung said the casting of K-pop stars could diversify musical audiences.
“Musical tickets are expensive, and middle-aged fans who play a central role in fan culture can afford them. They can spend the money to see their favorite stars perform onstage,” Jung said. Musical tickets normally cost from 80,000 won to 180,000 won.
By featuring K-pop stars, musicals are attracting younger patrons as well, who eventually become regular musicalgoers.
“It was Kim Jun-su who introduced me to musicals,” said Kim Ju-hyun, an office worker in her early 30s. “I was a huge fan of TVXQ and especially Kim Jun-su in my teens. As he moved on to musicals, I started to attend musicals just because of him.”
Kim has since become an avowed musical enthusiast, attending even those not starring Kim Jun-su.
“Now I appreciate the genre itself. The art of singing and dancing onstage is magical,” she said. “Without Kim Jun-su, I do not think I would have become interested in the genre.”
K-pop stars also bring international fans to South Korea and to the theaters.
At the theaters, foreign audience members anxiously awaiting shows can often be spotted.
“Some K-pop stars who are not that popular in Korea have enthusiastic fans overseas. For the international fans, to see their stars in musicals is a must-do when they visit Korea,” an industry insider said.

Backed by K-pop star cast members, musical merchandise has taken off — with items featuring the celebrities including everything from posters to cups.

At the Korean premiere of “Dracula” in 2014, merchandise sales — mainly led by fans of Kim Jun-su — marked a total of 400 million won in 50 days. In the second season, in 2016, purchasing limits were imposed because the demand was so strong.
