[TRANS] 101020 Changmin in Elle Girl editor blog update~This is Changmin’s 3rd time

trans as promised: here

At the next issue, once again this person will appear

Hello, its been a while, this is MIYACCO.

I’m actually on a “maternity leave”. I get rest for about half a year, but during the leave Elle Girl has gotten even more exciting-!!

The last work before leaving. Editor SUMIMIN has already tweeted about the report, it was our Changmin’s photo shoot-!!
Last week he came for 2 days and 1 night and went to the Louis Vuitton event, which was shown on the news but he actually did an ElleGirl photo shoot too.

This is Changmin’s 3rd time. So, we did it in a little bit special version. Of course, what Elle Girl is good at, magazine–> online –> touch (free paper) needs to be given some attention too. Also a video project we couldn’t do last time!! We did the post card picking too, and it is full with excitement. This time we had to do it in a tight schedule more than ever and we were doing the photo shoot until 2 hours before his flight had to leave *sweat*

This time we went out of the studio and did the photo shoot at a billiard/pool bar. During the breaks we were able to catch Changmin’s “real” face while he was playing billiard and darts-!!

It has been 4 months from the last interview, and it seems like he has gotten a little softer [as in chubbier] (especially his face?) and it seems like he is living a very satisfying life. He is like this every time but he is always polite, and the first thing he said was “It’s been a while! Please take care of me today (too)!” and it made me notice he actually remembers the staffs face~.

It’s before the magazine release date still, so just a bit of behind the scene story.

Last time was during the World Cup we got exciting talking about soccer. This time too, 2 days before the photo shoot, there was a soccer game of Japan and Korea so we asked “Did you watch the game at your house with Yunho?” and he said he couldn’t watch it real time due to work. Maybe he wait for the stadium!? That’s what I was imagining but….!

“Did you hear about the results right away? Or did you record it and watch it after?” he then said “I had a staff tell me right away! I’m the type that want to hear sports results right away~”. These things reveal your personality~. There are people who want to know the summary before watching a movie or drama too.

So, the exciting project of Changmin is on the next issue Elle Girl December Issue (released 11/12) so please check it out!
After the magazine is released, we will update the online project-!

Also around the release date is when MIYACCO’s due date is supposed to be. I hope I can update the blog before that.

[NEWS] 101021 Billboard featrues JYJ “The Beginning” Release of the week”

As former members of the South Korean boy band TVXQ, the trio of Kim JaeJoong, Park YuChun and Kim JunSu are no strangers to pop stardom. Formed in 2003, TVXQ became hitmakers at home and in K-pop-crazy Japan (where it was known as Tohoshinki) and elsewhere in Southeast Asia. Following a contractual dispute with its former management company, the threesome formed a new group earlier this year that it christened JYJ after the first initials of their first names. The band’s debut album, aptly titled “The Beginning,” is out now.

JYJ is thinking big with its debut album, “The Beginning,” which features collaborations with Kanye West and songwriter/producer Rodney Jerkins. Show Shop Entertainment released the album Oct. 14 through Warner Music Korea. In the United States, Warner Music is releasing the album digitally through iTunes and Amazon with a CD release planned for late 2010 or early 2011.

ON THE PAGE

“The Beginning” comprises seven tracks and three remixes. Each of the members of JYJ has songwriting credits on the album. Show Shop Entertainment and C-JeS Entertainemnt handles JYJ’s publishing, with administration by Warner/Chappell Music Korea.

IN THE STUDIO

JYJ had a wish list of producers and artists it wanted to work with, according to Park: West, Jerkins, Neo and Timbaland. With the help of its manager, Baek Chang Ju, CEO of C-JeS Entertainment, and Show Shop Entertainment CEO Hwang Jong Wook, the group was able to connect with West and Jerkins, who agreed to work with JYJ on “The Beginning.”

The sessions for the first single, “Ayyy Girl,” produced by West, were held at Westlake Recording Studios in Hollywood, while “Empty” and “Be My Girl,” produced by Jerkins, were recorded at his 2nd Floor Studios, also in Hollywood. The rest of the tracks were recorded in South Korea.

West wowed JYJ with some a cappella freestyle rapping before the trio began recording its vocals. “We could see why he’s so hugely popular,” Park says. “It was really a great honor to work with him.”

Jerkins also made a big impression on the Korean trio. “When we were making songs together, he treated us like equals,” Park says. “We appreciated that so much. Because he worked so hard on the record, he inspired us to work hard.”

Jerkins says he was impressed by JYJ’s professionalism and “their poise, the way they took their work seriously. I told their team that I’d work with them again.”

IN THE STORES

“The Beginning” arrived Oct. 14 in South Korea, followed by the release of a “luxury edition” with extra content on Oct. 18. The expanded version is limited to a run of fewer than 100,000 units, but Warner Music Korea says it received more than 300,000 pre-sale orders for the set. “The overwhelming response to the [limited-edition] CD is a very encouraging start for JYJ and we hope that this album release will also be met with equal enthusiasm,” Warner Music Korea managing director P.R. Wang said in a statement.

Warner Asia’s Wong adds: “Warner U.S. will release the product digitally through iTunes first this month. It will also be made available through Amazon digitally. There will also be finished product under the Amazon import section. We are in discussion with Warner U.S. to release a U.S. version in the next few months that will include new tracks and mixes exclusive to the market in both physical and digital formats.”

ON THE ROAD

JYJ is playing shows in Bangkok, Thailand; Singapore; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; Hong Kong, China; and Taipei, Taiwan; in October. The group “also will be touring four major cities in the U.S. in November to support the release in a series of meet-the-fan sessions, plus a few media appearances,” Wong says. “Once the U.S. release [plans for the physical album] has been decided, we hope to reach a much bigger market for JYJ, as the market for Asian acts who sing in English is growing rapidly.”
