[TRANS] 100707 'Musical Goong' Begins Rehearsals.. Yunho "I Will Focus Completely On Goong"

The cast and crew of 'Musical-Goong' got together for their first rehearsal and made vows for the future of the show.

At the first rehearsal of 'Musical-Goong', which occurred on the 6th in a rehearsal room in Seoul, the cast and crew officially greeted each other for the first time followed by a four hour walk session and script run-through.

The cast who received the official script for the run-through had serious expressions on their faces like students holding tests in their hands. In the confrontational scene between Prince Lee Shin (U-Know Yunho) and Lee Yul (Lee Chang Hee), the two actors played their roles so realistically that the air crackled with tension.

On this day, fans who came to cheer for the musical's first rehearsal arrived with food and utilities for the cast and crew. They sent their warm support as they said, "The anticipation for 'Musical-Goong' is higher than ever. We are visiting to try to help the cast and crew in any way that we can."

U-Know Yunho and Run made sure that each cast and crew member received their food by handing out the boxes of food themselves, an act that was met by cheers from their fellow cast and staff members.

U-Know Yunho made a vow and said, "Since I'm a rookie in the musical industry, I will act and think like a rookie. I'm also the youngest of the male cast members. (laughter) This is the first time that the staff and cast of 'Musical-Goong' have all gotten together and I will concentrate and do my best for the musical."

When rehearsals were done, the cast and crew moved to Daehakro to hold a party to pray for the success of the musical.

[TRANS] 100511 ARENA37℃ June Issue – [Beautiful Love～君がいれば (Kimiga Ireba)～] Broadcast will Begin on 4th of June!

Q: What were your thoughts when you received the offer to star in this Japanese TV drama?
- I have never acted before, plus having to speak in Japanese… Frankly speaking, I was really uneasy.

Q: What left the deepest impression on you during the shooting of this drama?
- I didn’t have enough time to practice as the shooting for the drama took place immediately. Every day after the shooting was done, I would spend countless hours in my room with my manager, going through the script and preparing myself for the next day. There was almost no time to sleep and I often asked myself if I could do this well. Because I felt anxiety and the pressure of doing well, I couldn’t sleep well too. Even though I was forced to eat, I had no appetite, so it was really hard! However, the moment the shooting took place, I enjoyed it. It feels really good to be able to experience a life that’s not my own. Even though the shooting has only taken place for a week, I’ve had a lot of inspirational and moving moments.

Q: You’re playing the character of Youngsu a young man who comes from an extremely wealthy background and displays a strong attitude towards anyone. This is not a very good character trait. Is it very different from your own character?
- Even though Youngsu may seem to be a person who is fulfilled or satisfied in every way, he is actually rather lonely. From a moral point of view, he does not seem to know what is important. Though I am different from Youngsu, I understand how he feels. Just like what Hinata told Youngsu, now that I have a crew who treats me like family and supporters who like me, I feel blessed.

Q: Youngsu changed after meeting Hinata in Japan. What is Yoochun’s one encounter that changed his life?
- There’s a lot; in this drama, I understand now the joys of acting because I was given the chance to know many outstanding actors, actresses, director and crew members. After having been an artiste, I now have the dream to become an actor. This was really a life-changing encounter!

Q: This is your debut in Japan’s acting scene. Would you want to continue acting in the future?
- Definitely! However, my greater wish is to be able to sing as soon as possible.

Q: Finally, please tell us something about this drama that we can look forward to.
- If you are able to understand both Youngsu’s and Hinata’s thoughts and emotions, it will definitely be very interesting! Also, the theme song that is sung by Xiah Junsu is also something to look out for so keep an eye out for it.


Artiste: Xiah Junsu

Regarding the theme song of the drama that stars Yoochun as the lead

I heard that Yoochun is starring in this drama, and because the story plot and content is very good, I will do my best to make the drama more appealing with my song. I have been to the scene of the shoot once, and after seeing how Yoochun and everyone else worked hard in order to produce a perfect piece of work, I also immersed myself in that atmosphere.
[君がいれば～Beautiful Love] is a new composition written especially for this drama, so please listen and feel the emotions captured within this song. In order to reciprocate the producer’s expectations towards me, and to match the song composition written for this new drama, I will use my unique way of singing this song.

[TRANS] 100506 SM Vs TVXQ 3 Members' Lawsuit Begins, First Hearing On The 7th

The lawsuit between TVXQ members, YoungWoong Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun and Xiah Junsu, and SM Entertainment will begin on May 7th.

SM Entertainment took action against the three members of TVXQ and filed for an objection to the verdict on the contract suspension injunction as well as a verification of the continued existence of the exclusive contract. The first hearing for this lawsuit will be held at the Seoul District Courts on May 7th in the afternoon.

On this day, only the legal representatives of the two side will be attending the hearing. As this is a civil suit, the three members will not be participating in the trial.

The three members of TVXQ filed for a contract suspension injunction against SM Entertainment on July 31st, 2009 to the Seoul District Courts and were rewarded with a partial acceptance verdict on October 27th.

At the time, the Courts stated, "SM can no longer sign contracts regarding any TVXQ activities without notifying the members beforehand. SM must also not interfere with any individual activities the members of TVXQ wish to pursue."

Then, SM filed a lawsuit against the three members on April 12th, 2010 objecting the verdict to the contract suspension injunction and asking for a verification of the continued existence of the exclusive contract. SM also called for the three members to pay 2.2 billion Won in compensation.

SM's representative stated, "After the injunction, we have tried hard to continue TVXQ's existence so we have kept this lawsuit aside. However, as the three members did not give an official statement regarding future TVXQ activities and as TVXQ's Japanese activities were suspended, we have decided to go ahead with the lawsuit."
