[TRANS] 100623 JUNSU/JEJUNG/YUCHUN Create More Records with Tokyo Dome Video



With over 1 million applications that led to a tough competition for tickets, "JUNSU/JEJUNG /YUCHUN THANKSGIVING LIVE IN DOME" attracted 200,000 people in 4 days in Tokyo Dome and Kyocera Dome. BARKS also published a live report of the last day of Tokyo Dome right after it ended; but for the sake of the many fans who couldn't go to their performances, a special showing of their digest video was served on streaming sites from 6/16 to 6/20. On each of the streaming sites, the showing has created new records for the number of viewers.

On Nico Nico streaming site, usually only viewers who have registered for free with the site can watch videos; but this time, they have made an exception for non-members to watch the video as well. As a result, this video has created the record of attracting the most visitors for a single artist (group) in Nico Nico's history.

MySpace also reported that viewers from 40 countries have accessed the video, including the US, UK, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, France, Russia, Portugal, Finland, Sweden, Greece, Belgium, Romania, Israel, Macedonia, Estonia, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Venezuela, Paraguay, Mexico, Chile, Honduras, Uruguay, Australia, Turkey, China (Hong Kong), Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Japan. This has created the record of attracting the most visitors on MySpace Japan. More than 13,000 tweets with the hashtag "#jjy" generated from MySpace were also promoted on Twitter. This also marked a new record for the most number of tweets in the history of MySpace Japan.

Moreover, on the mu-mo's new music site (mu-mo TV), the sample viewing on 6/15 also generated a number of 1,300,000 playbacks, creating a new record.

From the records above, it can be said that many Tohoshinki's fans as well as JUNSU/JEJUNG/YUCHUN's fans are overly excited over the digest video of Dome.

JUNSU/JEJUNG/YUCHUN will release their private DVD "3HREE VOICES" on 7/28. This DVD includes 4 discs - JunSu in Sydney, JeJung in Canada, YuChun in Korea, and offshoots & digests.

[NEWS] 100513 SM Entertainment Records Biggest Q1 Profit


Korean entertainment entrepeneur Lee Soo-Man of SM Entertainment [SM Entertainment]

SM Entertainment (SM) -- considered one of the top three talent agencies in Korea alongside YG and JYP Entertainment -- saw its most successful first quarter this year, recording the biggest profit the company has ever seen.

According to a press release issued by SM on Thursday, the agency recorded operating profits of 10.4 billion won from January to March this year, up an astounding 471 percent from the same period last year when the total operating profit for the entire year had been 9.3 billion won.

SM's total sales during Q1 was also reported at 22.7 billion won, indicating a growth of about 58 percent for the company.

The increase can be attributable to the success of many of its artists including idol groups Super Junior, SHINee, f(x) and Girls' Generation. With SM-trained pop groups gaining more popularity throughout Asia, the agency is raking in more profits from the their album sales, overseas activities and royalty fees.

SM said that it is expecting the second quarter to be equally successful business-wise since its singers are scheduled to release new records and hold concerts in Asia. In addition, the company is preparing to put out various digital content products such as a digital album for smart phones.

Founded in 1995 by former singer Lee Soo-man, SM quickly became one of the most influential talent agencies in Korea. Lee, who stepped down from SM's board of directors in February, has created and masterminded the successful careers of numerous K-pop artists including BoA, Fly To The Sky, H.O.T. and TVXQ.

SM also manages many songwriters, music producers, comedians and actors including Ara, Choi Jung-yoon and Lee Yeon-hee.
