[TRANS] 100620 Composer Ahn Young Min Wants To Work With TVXQ
T/N: These are excerpts from a conversational interview with composers Jo Young Soo and Ahn Young Min.
We met with the ‘Power People’ of Kpop. Composers Jo Young Soo (34) and Ahn Young Min (31) were ranked first and third respectively on the Korean Music Copyright Association’s Copyright Fees rankings.
(omitted)
(Ahn) Then there must be singers you want to work with?
(Jo) I want to work with Kim Gun Mo, who I’ve liked since high school. I’ve never worked with him before and I haven’t even met him before. And Naul, the best singer of soul music. And of course, Girls Generation, any man’s dream coworker. Hahaha.
(Ahn) For me, it’s TVXQ. I’ve never seen people who can dance so well, and on top of that, sing so well. That’s what makes this situation more unfortunate. And Toy. I’ve been a big fan of them since I was young.

[TRANS] 100621 TVXQ Trio Gets Back Up Once More In Tears
The trio from TVXQ, who recently formed a new unit, held a performance in Japan. This tour, with performances on the 5th and 6th at Kyocera Dome and on the 12th and 13th at Tokyo Dome, brought in a total of 200,000 audience members. The members could not contain their emotions and ended up shedding tears on stage. Sankei Sports stated, "During the performance, member YoungWoong Jaejoong said he wanted to keep singing in front of the fans and wailed. The other members would stop singing constantly to wipe away tears."
And there was someone else amongst the cheering Japanese fans who cried with them. It was none other than Manager Baek, who is busy getting the trio and their return up and running. Mr. Baek, who was the former manager of Kwon Sang Woo, was involved in an exclusive contract problem between the celebrity and his agency which led to stress and a temporary leave from his work. He met the trio through someone he knew and has been working hard ever since to create the groundwork for the trio to stand upon and receive love from their fans once more.
But a rumor circulated that Manager Baek had ties with gangs that greatly hurt the trio's image. However, it has been confirmed that Mr. Baek had a normal school and military service life with no relations to gangs whatsoever, and began working diligently in the entertainment industry after he was discharged from the military. The many celebrities and others around him remember him as a quiet and hard working youth and stressed that he had no connections to any gangs.
The Tokyo Dome concert proved that the fans still had faith in TVXQ regardless of all the controversies and rumors. Their challenge, which seemed impossible at first, moved the Japanese fans' hearts and gave them hope for new possibilities.
The three members of TVXQ are currently working on more projects with their manager, Mr. Baek. They are planning to release a documentary DVD in July and will participate in the A-nation performances on August 7th with the other singers from AVEX.

T/N: Fun fact of the Day: This reporters the one who actually blew the whole 'gang' thing out of proportion because he was the first reporter to write an article on said rumors. Is this a poor attempt at an apology, Mister?
[TRANS] 100621 The Truths And Fallacies Of Idols In Musicals
The idol wind is blowing on the musical industry. Idols are knocking on the musical industry's door with stars like SES' Bada (Choi Sung Hee) and Ok Joo Hyun, both already recognized as talented musical actresses, Big Bang's Daesung, TVXQ's Xiah Junsu and U-Know Yunho, Girls Generation's Taeyeon, Super Junior's Sungmin and Yesung, and After School's Jung Ah being cast as lead roles in productions. One should consider carefully, however, of whether or not the entrance of idols in musicals is necessarily a positive change.
□The Power of Idols, a String of Sold Out Performances
The biggest strength that idol stars bring to the musical industry is their ticket power. Most of the time, the mere fact that an idol star is appearing in a musical will bring a string of sold out performances.
'Mozart!', which cast Xiah Junsu as its lead, experienced this when they grabbed everyone's attention with their online ticket reservation site crashing the first day ticket sales began due to a sudden influx of people; this continued on to every single show being sold out. Recently, 'The Sun's Song' experienced the same effect from Taeyeon.
A production representative of 'Mozart!' stated that the casting of an idol star is one that cannot be denied because it breathes life into the industry and presents a great opportunity to promote the musical.
But the charm of casting an idol with ticket power goes both ways in such a situation as for a star, a musical is a brilliant opportunity. As musicals require multiple talents such as singing, dancing, and acting, they can become stepping stones for stars who wish to broaden their horizons.
□The 'Hallyu Wave' has reached the Musical Industry
Just because a musical is done in Korean, doesn't mean that the audience will be Korean too. With the appearance of idols on the musical stage came Japanese and Chinese fans flocking to Korea to watch. Production teams began to turn their attention to 'Hallyu marketing' in the Asian market by creating leaflets in different languages or showing promotional clips overseas.
'Hong Gil Dong', which featured Yesung and Sungmin from 'Star of Asia' Super Junior, was held at the Woori Finance Art Hall between February and April and attracted over 800 people from Asia.
Following this, the production team Seoul Symphony Orchestra uploaded promotional videos in Japanese on Japanese websites and went knocking on the doors of overseas markets.
'The Brothers were Brave', SHINee's Onew's debut musical, created leaflets specially for Japanese fans in their native language. An average of fifteen Japanese tourists watched every performance since the show began in April. Promotional information, such as a description of the performance and photos, have been distributed to them.
□An audience who wants a High Quality Performance
Even fans don't want their idol singers to appear on stage if they haven't prepared enough or lack the necessary skills. The reason that production companies cannot go over the top when casting idol stars is because if idols forcefully appear frequently in musicals, the quality of the performance may drop. There is also the stereotype embedded within the minds of the public that a performance with a celebrity cast can't be a high quality show.
However, it is a reality that idol stars cannot completely focus on musical rehearsals as they have their own busy schedules to complete.
There are quite a few examples of musicals that failed to attract a large crowds because an idol star could not practice or participate in rehearsals due to their busy schedule which resulted in a drop in quality of the overall show along with criticism of the idol star for their unstable singing and lacking acting skills.
One musical representative stated, "It is true that there are many cases where the stars practice so little that they constantly worry whether or not they will make a mistake on stage," and "It's frustrating at times because we cannot demand that they focus completely on the musical because we know how packed their schedules are."
