It looks like one of my K-Pop wishes for 2012 is coming true! The month of love is starting up pretty rosy for JYJ fans because it is confirmed that JYJ's notable album "In Heaven" will be released within the month.

JYJ is composed of former-TVXQ members Jaejoong, Yuchun and Junsu. About their album, they expressed that: "We are very delighted to make our music heard by fans after the long break. The songs are already released during our world tour and most of the songs are telling our own stories. It is meaningful to show JYJ itself with this music."

"In Heaven" contains a total of ten tracks including the title track "In Heaven" written by Jaejoong himself. The music video of "In Heaven" also featured the acting talents of fellow member Junsu and is one of the most tear-jerking music videos of 2011.

"In Heaven" is indeed an achievement for JYJ, who were unable to publicly promote the album due to certain hurdles. Regardless of the lack of promotions, the power of JYJ revealed itself in sales figures.

Pre-orders and sales for "In Heaven" registered at 300,000 copies within a few weeks of its release. In addition, tracks from the album such as "In Heaven", "Get Out" and "Fallen Leaves" caused a stir in Korean online music stores including Melon, M-net, Bugs, Dosirak, and Cyworld BGM. This impressive sales performance only goes to show that K-Pop lovers are waiting for their music.

JYJ's "In Heaven" is exclusively distributed by PolyEast Records and will beavailable on February 25 during the CassPH "9G: The Red Exhibit" fan gathering at the Top Shelf, 5th Level, Fully Booked, Fort Bonifacio Taguig.

[NEWS] 120129 JYJ’s Plans To Release Second Worldwide Album

(T/N: only JYJ’s part from the article was translated)

The boy group that released their worldwide album ‘The Beginning’ in 2010 has announced plans to release their second worldwide album this summer.
JYJ officials stated, “During the second half of this year, there are plans to have a worldwide tour and to release the second album before this. Similar to the year before, the members will advance their album work in America. Furthermore, JYJ has successfully completed their tour in North America, so rather than it being like they are trying to enter a new market (America), it is more of a continuation of their previous activities.

America’s famous artist Kanye West and Rodney Jerkins collaborate with JYJ’s first album, and attracted enough attention to be introduced as hot topic on America’s billboard charts. In regards to this, JYJ’s second album will also be produced in America, and there is also a high chance of more collaborations with other American artists. “However as of now, who will be collaborating and how has not been decided”, officials added.
