[NEWS+PHOTOS] 101126 Watch JYJ Rock Billboard
When we featured the debut album by JYJ, “The Beginning,” as a Billboard Release of the Week this fall, the response was amazingly huge and positive. So we gladly invited the Korean pop trio to our studio recently to perform two songs and chat about working with Kanye West and Rodney Jerkins and bringing their music to America. Consider it a kind of holiday gift to JYJ and K-pop fans everywhere, from Billboard.com to you.
Video Below: JYJ perform “Ayy Girl” (the single that features Kanye West) and give an interview at Billboard’s studio.
JYJ called it a “great honor” to work with Jerkins (who produced “Empty”) and West. “When we met [them] we realized we had a similar goal,” the guys added. “For them it was to take their music to the east, while for us, we wanted to bring our music to a wider audience in the U.S.”

[FANACC] 101115 New Yorker Staff, “The One in Room 2330 is a Really Nice Person”
This account came from one JYJ’s staff.
She asked us not to reveal her name since it’s actually not appropriate for a staff to reveal such account but she really wanted to share this story.
——————————————-
On the 15th of November when I was checking out of The New Yorker Hotel, I met one of the elderly cleaners who was helping out at the concierge desk. He asked me if I was part of the crew and also if JYJ were really huge stars in Asia to which I answered a positive yes to both questions. He then told me that the star staying in room 2330 is really nice and even though he is a celebrity, he never once acted like one and spent a lot of time talking to this cleaner about everything.
Fan service is smiling for the cameras, being ever friendly in a switched on star mode… but when a cleaner in a hotel, someone who is often bypassed by most tourists who come and go, tell you the story of a star who has taken the time to know about him and asks about his well being behind closed doors on a daily basis, lies truly a kind person with a good heart … and that person is Micky.
That kinda made me swell with Noona pride over this kid I barely knew but who always had an ever ready smile for everyone.
In these really trying times, do say a prayer for them. For the Lord to watch over them and most of all give them the ability to continue to shine in the marketplace despite being slayed by their circumstances.
I too am trying to keep the faith, especially for Yoochun whom I’m personally most fond of.
