[NEWS] JYJ World Tour: Las Vegas Showcase Recap + Photos

The second stop of the JYJ concert in Las Vegas kicked off at around 8:30 p.m. It took place at the Planet Hollywood Theatre of the Arts and was hosted by MCs Arden Cho and Shane Yoon. With a turnout of over 5,000 attendees, many fans, both young and old, came from as far as Europe and Asia just to see the trio perform in Las Vegas. Many of the Cassies awaited eagerly as the sea of red glowsticks waved and chanted to bring the members out.

JYJ first got the crowd going as they arose from the stage and opened with Empty. Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu moved effortlessly with their dancers and to start the show with a stellar stage.

The next song, Be The One, kept the red ocean glowing even brighter as the stage lights moved with every beat of the song. Fans could not stop screaming and chanting each members name throughout. After the second song, a short video intermission displayed on the screen showing the members writing messages of appreciation to the fans on a mirror.

JYJ’s slow ballad, Be My Girl, awed the fangirls as everyone waved their glowstick, hand, or cell phone. Soft purple lights covered the stage, creating a luminous and peaceful effect. Junsu went to the side of the stage, treating fangirls around him to a closer stage.

The fans were then treated to another video of members during rehearsal and production in LA during the summer in preparation for the tour and closed with the quote, “This is a very special project to us.”

After Be My Girl, JYJ was brought back onto the stage for a brief Q&A session with questions collected from Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube:

The interview below is merely a summary and not a complete transcription.

Question: How has the tour been? How has America been treating you?
Junsu: Since so many of the American fans have been cheering us on, we’ve been having a great time here.

Question: Are you guys going to make a music video for Empty?
Yoochun: Of course, yeah. Probably next month we’re going to tape it in the U.S.

Question: Can we get an idea of what the video will be like?
Yoochun: That’s top secret. Actually, that’s a second secret. (His answer drew laughter from the audience as they wondered how many secrets Yoochun has.)

Question: Do you have plans for another tour since so many fans seem to be interested?
Junsu: Hopefully we’ll plan a Europe tour, nothing is set in stone yet. But if there’s enough fan response, we’ll definitely set something up.

Question: What did you do last night in Vegas?
Jaejoong: We, uhhh, actually went to a club with the staff *laughs*
Yoochun: Yeah, we were “practicing” for tonight… (This caused fans to laugh because both members answered the question differently.)

Question: A lot of fans give you guys gifts, what’s the most memorable gift a fan has given you?
Junsu: We get so many gifts, but the ones that stand out the most to me are the drawings.
Jaejoong: Underwear…thongs… (Fans squealed at his response.)
Yoochun: Special gifts like…the fan’s love… (The fans said ‘aww’ in agreement.)

As JYJ wanted to also sing a Korean song, they incorporated Found You from Yoochun’s Sungkyungwan Scandal OST. The fans also waved along as JYJ’s sultry voices filled the auditorium.

The stage suddenly changed with their title track, Ayyy Girl. Afterwards, JYJ thanked the fans with “We appreciate your support and love. We want to meet you guys more!” which caused the fans to explode with joy and excitement.

The last song had the crowd jumping as red and white streamers exploded from the stage and white confetti fired into the air. Their Empty remix definitely was a great note to end the showcase. Fans screamed for an encore as the three members exited the stage. Then the music video for Ayyy Girl played on the big screen as the last part to the show. Finally, the MCs Arden and Shane walked out to close out the concert.

[NEWS] JYJ Performs in Las Vegas For Global Showcase

Korean boy band JYJ, composed of former TVXQ members Jaejoong, Yuchun and Junsu, rocked in Las Vegas last weekend for the second stop of their U.S global showcase tour.

A press release from the group’s publicist Prain Inc. said Tuesday that JYJ performed in front of some 7,000 fans on November 14 (U.S. time) at Las Vegas’ Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino.

“The response we have received from the fans from the New York and Las Vegas’ shows are great and we have received positive remarks from the staff members as well,” an official from the group’s Korean management agency C-JeS Entertainment Co. was quoted as saying.

The official added that there are high expectations for the release of their debut album “The Beginning” which will hit stores in North America next month.

“We sang our songs to express our happiness and to pay back our many fans who have shown their support and cheered us on,” the members of JYJ were quoted as saying.

The boys’ showcase in the U.S., including New York and Las Vegas and the upcoming one in Los Angeles are being held for free.

They were also set to perform in Hawaii but was cancelled due to the delayed issuance of the boys’ U.S. visa and insufficient time for preparations. They were then denied P1 visas which would allow them to make monetary benefits off the remainder of their shows.

The boys embarked on their worldwide tour in mid-October to promote their album “The Beginning,” which went on sale in Korea on October 14, with their first show in Seoul followed by concerts in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Shanghai.

They will be performing at Los Angeles’ The Galen Center in U.S.C. this Friday and return to Korea to prepare for their two-day concert “JYJ WorldWide Concert in Seoul” on November 27 and 28.

[FANACC] 101116 JYJ Album Showcase Tour 2010 in Las Vegas Fan Account

I arrived on the 12th, after seeing the Twitter accounts of the trio saying that they were at the New York showcase, and was curious as whether there would be any others in the US. And in the end, there was Las Vegas. Just when I was preparing to buy tickets, I realised that it was actually free… So I ran to get 2 tickets early in the morning the next day. The seating (position) was not bad.

I went with my friend today, and at first we were anticipating doing fan support together, but the sad thing was that the 2 arrangements which we planned earlier did not fall through… It should be because we were too immersed in the atmosphere of the showcase and forgot about it… The original plan for the first fan support was to shout “Welcome to Las Vegas” together when it was the opening of the showcase; the second was to shout “Thank you, JYJ” at the end of the last song, but in the end, nothing was shouted…

The atmosphere was really intense, and in the one hour everyone seemed to have been standing all the time. The JUMPING part of the last song was the absolute climax. JaeJoong felt very HIGH, YooChun felt a bit sick, occasionally seeming as if he was coughing. In the interview, the MC asked them about the most special gift they had received. JaeJoong said it was underwear…… And everyone laughed like crazy. Then YooChun said that the most special (gift) was the love from the fans. JaeJoong helplessly turned to the side. Hahahaha~
The showcase was mostly like that, and I felt that it was a little short, only about one hour. And also there wasn’t any showing of tattoos like in New York…. Totally didn’t have…

After sending my friend home, I stopped by the hotel in which they were staying in on the way, hoping to take a chance, whether we could ‘coincidently meet.’
Going into the hall, I saw about 10 fans waiting, so I went to chat with them, and soon learned that the three had just went upstairs. I marveled at the speed of which they managed to get back to the hotel…. And after around 15 minutes of waiting, the hotel staff came to chase us out, saying that if you didn’t have a room key, you could not wait here. So, those who didn’t a room key ran outside to wait. Several fans were going to drive back to California that night, so they have already left. Also, another fan went to send her friend home. I arranged to meet her here and wait for her, so I paced back and forth outside. Waited about 10 minutes, it was too cold outside, and at that time the hotel staff also said that you could not wait outside… So I decided to go home. I walked towards the parking lot side of the fly-over while texting that girl that I could not wait for her already. It was then my RP flared for the first time.

I was taking the escalator at the bridge (a bit like those at the airport) and texting at the same time. Then I heard some people speaking Korean behind me, and I thought it was some of the other fans. I then turned my head to look at them chatting. In the end, I saw a man wearing sunglasses, and I felt that he seemed familiar to me, and didn’t look carefully. But when I looked again, I saw YooChun standing behind that man! It turned out that the familiar person was JaeJoong……. I totally failed to recognise…. There was also a manager-hyung.

They took the escalator with me, and also entered the elevator together…… I was really embarrassed and speechless because I totally didn’t know what to say or what to do. So I kept my head down and didn’t dare to speak. Then the manager was discussing something with YooChun, I think it was an issue about food, but I can’t confirm, my Korean is not good. Later, I lifted my head to glance at Park YooChun, and realised he was also looking at me… After he caught me sneaking as peek… He knew I was a fan already, because I was wearing red head-to-toe! Really red, really red… Then he smiled and asked me if I was a fan, and I didn’t dare to speak, I could only nod my head. And then I asked if they wanted me to go out…. This question was very embarrassing, the elevator was already moving, how to go out… Only YooChun replied me “It’s alright, it’s alright”, I guess JaeJoong and the manager didn’t understand…

Because at that time I about to home already, and other than my car keys, only my camera was on me and consequently, had no way to get an autograph. And so I asked if I could take a picture with them, but the manager understood this sentence and said no…. YooChun and JaeJoong apologised to me, and I said it was fine. At that time, I walked out of the elevator. I went in the direction of the parking lot, while they went towards the casino. I also didn’t follow them.

At that time, the girl who I was supposed to meet came back, and I told her what happened just now, and then she wanted me to accompany her a little longer, and so I followed her into the casino. Then, the other fans asked if I had seen them walk past… I said yes, I even took the elevator together with them, and after a long, long time, a US fan came over and told me that JaeJoong was over there playing poker… I walked over with the girl. On the way, I saw YooChun….. He was also playing poker, but at another table. I found someone to borrow a pen and paper and went over. I asked him whether he could sign, and he looked at me, and I guess he recognised me as the one in the elevator just now… And then he said okay, and asked for my name, I was shocked by that, and I thought that just signing his name was already good enough, but in the end the result was gorgeous, a ‘TO: signature….’ After saying my thanks, I went away in flash.

This time, I went to look for JaeJoong, and he was sitting in the corner, I waited a while for when he was free to go over, and also got his signature, but no stating of name. I waited around 10 minutes; the other fans let me help them get autographs…. I then walked over again feeling embarrassed, and at that time, I saw a mop of red hair, and I saw JunSu! So, I went over to look for JunSu to get his signature, JunSu is absolutely the best, the most gentle one, and very straightforwardly asked for my name and then signed ‘TO: xxx’. He also did not refuse all the requests of the other fans, and everyone got one with their name on it.

Later, until they left, the other fans did not manage to get JaeJoong’s and YooChun’s autographs… One of the girls who I was on good terms with, her bias is JaeJoong, and so I gave JaeJoong’s autograph to her. If she hadn’t lent me the paper and pen, I wouldn’t have had been able to get anything signed. In the end, they went out in a limousine, and I guess they went out to play, because I heard them say that tomorrow they would be going to LA early in the morning. It’s been really tough.

[INFO] KPOP in Singapore

Not related to DBSK. Here’s some KPOP news for Singaporeans out there. 2nd,3rd and 4th of December is full of events for sure.

Singapore Kiss Me, are you all ready to meet your idols?

In less than a week’s time, on the 19th Nov, U-Kiss will be coming down to Singapore once again (this being their third time being here). These seven gorgeous boys will be gracing Bedok Reservoir for The Kings of Freedom Concert, a community outreach concert organized by Aljunied GRC and Youth Empire, helping to further promote the Hallyu Wave in Singapore.

The concert is in commemoration of the inaugural anniversary of the Hefner’s collection of four slabs of the Berlin Wall being in Singapore as well as to celebrate Singapore’s social tolerance and cohesiveness. The Kings of Freedom concert will showcase rising local acts like Stellastory, Xinhui as well as local bbboys and Salvador Drums from Temasek Polytechnic. U-Kiss, the headliner for this two hour long youth-oriented programme has been chosen because not only are these boys one of the top acts in Korea, they also embody the spirit of togetherness, love, friendship and respect. They have proved that their varied cultural backgrounds (members Eli and Kevin grew up in the States, Alexander’s from Macau) are not obstacles blocking their path to fame, having successfully worked together and coming up with infectious hits like ‘Bingeul Bingeul’.

The boys will be showing a different side to them this time round, showing off their new Beastly concept – a natural progression from their previous Gangnam Namja image in Man Man Ha Ni. They will be performing six songs such as ‘Shut Up/시끄러’ from their latest mini-album ‘Break Time’, definitely marking it as one of their longest showcases in Asia!

U-Kiss will also hold an intimate fanmeet at IMM Garden Plaza where they will interact and play games with the lucky fans. Fans will stand the chance to win an autographed poster on top of the personally autographed album each Kiss Me will receive that day. Some lucky Kiss Me may even get the chance to bring home a momento specially chosen and brought from Korea by these generous boys.

So mark 19th Nov on your calendars if you haven’t done so!

Take note that ticket sales have ceased for only the IMM fanmeet/fansign, the tickets for the KOF concert are still for sale.
