[NEWS] JYJ Holds Successful Concert in Chile

On March 9, approximately 3,000 fans gathered at Teatro Caupolican in Santiago, Chile to watch JYJperform. “JYJ South America Tour 2012” started in the hype of K-pop fever and anticipations. The three members Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu appeared on stage in bright red outfits. Thousands of fans screamed as loudly as they could, welcoming the Korean artists with open arms. Some fans even teared up when spot lights hit each members, revealing their excited faces.

JYJ introduced themselves in Spanish, which they have been practicing diligently for a while preparing for their first visit to the fans halfway around the globe. Following the short introduction, they added, “We are really happy to meet our Chilean fans. We will do our best to show you the best performance.” Even though their Spanish introduction was clumsy and short, it was enough to express their love and gratitude.

Excited fans rattled JYJ with the request of performing the dance of “La Colita,” which is a very popular dance in Chile that requires one to shake his or her butt in different directions. Although JYJ members were somewhat hesitant to do it at first, they complied with the request of excited and screaming fans. Junsu even added some flair to this dance, incorporating a sexy hip wave into “La Colita.” Junsu’s sexy moves led some fans to the brink of fainting.

JYJ performed total of 23 songs at this concert. Fans sang along all throughout the concert, showing off that they have memorized all Korean and English lyrics of the songs. They even mastered the rap and choreographies, proving that even though this is JYJ’s first time in Chile, their fans have been supporting and loving this group from half way around the world via Internet communities and YouTube.

To reciprocate the love and support from their fans, JYJ members performed on stage with all the energy they have. They opened the stage with “Empty,” followed by “Mission,” and “I.D.S.-Be the One,” showcasing their powerful and masculine dance moves. They continued to rock the house with “Ayyy Girl” and “Found You.” They also prepared mellifluous ballad stages singing “Fallen Leaves” and “In Heaven” for the female fans. While JYJ was performing “Fallen Leaves,” an overwhelmingly touched female fan nearly fainted and was escorted out of the theater by staff members.

Solo stages of each JYJ members also stood out. Yoochun performed “I Love You” with a female dancer. Their seductive and sexy performance left many fans speechless. Jaejoong sang “I’ll Protect You” and owned the stage with his sweet voice, while Junsu showcased explosive onstage charisma by performing “Intoxication.”

JYJ members were pleasantly surprised throughout the concert. They seemed as if they couldn’t believe that they were in an unfamiliar country, as fans continuously showed love and support. Junsu commented, “Since I was very young, one of my hobbies have been to look at the world map and I always thought Chile was special for being so long in its shape. And now I’m in that country, performing. This is incredible. I am so happy and thankful to have such energetic fans.”

Yoochun also said, “The fact that JYJ is in Chile, you guys knowing about us JYJ, and cheering for us is all really new and amazing. Thank you so much for coming out and supporting us despite the fact that this is our first time being here. I don’t think we can ever leave out Chile in the future world tour concerts. I know you guys check out all the YouTube video messages from Korea here in Chile, so please keep supporting and loving us.” Jaejoong added, “Our Spanish isn’t good, so we have an interpreter with us. We would love to communicate with all the fans here. I’m really surprised to see so many male fans here. Thank you everyone for coming all the way here, and waiting for us to come here.”

All three members closed the show by promising that they will return to Chile sometime in the future and thousands of fans seem to be disappointed at the fact that the concert was already over. However, it didn’t stop them from chanting “JYJ” and passionately enjoying the show until the curtains were down.

Some experts say that the overall quality of the concert could not measure up to the scale in other better-kept arenas, as the distance restricted JYJ and the crew to have all the high-end facilities and no wire performance, surprise guests, and other extravagant special effects were there to garnish the stage. However, the passion, love, and support of South American fans for JYJ was greater than ever and more than enough to fill the arena. Although JYJ and Chilean fans are from different countries and speak different languages, the unified voice, movements and affection were more than enough to feel the stage and concert hall, presenting the perfect concert both for the artists and fans.

That night in Chile was hotter than the blazing South American sun for JYJ.

[NEWS] 120311 What JYJ Has Done In The Last One Year

After 3 members from TVXQ, Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu, left to form the group JYJ,they have been met with extraordinary success. The latest stop on their whirlwind adventure brought JYJ to Chile, where they are covering uncharted territory. On March 9^th(local time) JYJ performed a concert in Santiago, Chile as part of their ’2011-2012 JYJ World Tour’, marking the first time any Korean act has performed an exclusive concert in South America. The World Tour started on April 2^nd of last year  in Bangkok Thailand and comes to a close with their concert in Lima, Peru on March 11^th.

At the end of this year long journey, JYJ is now standing on the other side of the world. As the Peru concert, and thus the end of the ’2011-2012′ World Tour, draws near we will share record numbers that JYJ has accomplished.

#4- JYJ has written new history in terms of world tours for Korean idols. This world tour included 4 new countries which Korean singers have never held concerts in before: Barcelona, Spain (October 29^th of last year); Berlin, Germany (November 6^th, 2011); Santiago, Chile (March 9^th, 2012); and Lima, Peru (March 11^th, 2012)

#18- JYJ’s concert, which spanned Asia, North America, Europe included 13 different cities (not included Santiago, Chile and Lima, Peru) for a total of 18 shows. For the South American leg of their tour, JYJ opened in Chile where they sang remixed versions of many of their songs.

#20- JYJ’s management agency, C-JeS Entertainment, said that well over 200,000 fans came out for the 13 city ‘JYJ 2011-2012 World Tour’. The 4 city North American leg of the tour was organized by AEG, which is America’s biggest promoter, and was the largest scale exclusive contract that an Asian performer has ever had with them.

#9000- The new concerts that are taking place in Chile and Peru also recorded a sell out of 9000 tickets total. In Chile, JYJ performed to a completely full crowd of 3000 people in Teatro Caupolican and the concert in Peru’s Explanada Sur del Estadio Monumental sold out all of the 6000 tickets they had put for sale. Originally promoters in Peru released 5,000 tickets and had to hastily add 1,000 additional seats once those sold out at an amazing rate. On the continually sold out shows, one of Peru’s most influential newspapers, El Comercio, reported “It was Korean Artist JYJ…not Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus…that made new records of ticket sales in the country”. The South American promoter who organized the concert stated “Even famous American pop acts cannot sell out tickets so quickly after the ticket sales are open. JYJ’s level of popularity is incredible.”

#230,000-  For the performance in Lima, Peru the super VIP seats cost 230,000 won. C-JeS Entertainment stated “these tickets are standing tickets for on the floor. Because they will be standing right in front of the 3 members, they can have a close experience with them during the concert”. The last artists that performed in the same venue and sold tickets at similar prices were the popular Japanese band X Japan and American pop artist Britney Spears, which shows the level of popularity that JYJ is also on.  Peru’s concert tickets tend to be more expensive because a 40% tax is placed on tickets from foreign performers. In Chile, VIP tickets were priced at 70,000 pesos (approximately 160,000 won).

[TRANS] 120121 Announcement from Noizu Productions (JYJ Peru Concert Promoter) About Non-JYJ related Materials and Projects

Translation:

It’s a shame to hear and read comments that those going to the concert will scream and carry banners of other bands that have nothing to do with the concert the commenters are going to see. I believe that we’ve come a long way and this is the only thing that could make us leave a bad impression on them [T/N: By “them” Noizu could be referring to JYJ and/or international fandom as a whole]. As of today, we’ve received great comments from all parts of the world, talking about how this concert is a success without having given the show. Peru is [being talked about] everywhere, we’re a place for all KPOP artists and what we’re doing is overturning all the advances we’ve made when we make these types of comments. I believe that no artist would like it when they hear the screaming of names of bands that have nothing to do with the concert you will attend.

Is this how you’ll request for autographs?? Fanmeeting?? What you’re accomplishing with this act, it’s better if they just perform, without even telling when they’ll arrive at the airport, because we don’t know how they will react with they’re met with other’s banners and the screaming of names of another group?…

We should begin to behave better, if there’s no peace, we will get nowhere.

We hope this [behavior] will stay here, you must remember that this event will be recorded and filmed for them.

Not only Justin Bieber fans flocked to buy tickets. These days the same thing was done by fans of JYJ, who will offer the first Korean concert in Chile, On March 9th.

SANTIAGO.- There are several types of phenomenon: For one side are those who invade radios, crowds and sold out tickets in a couple of days, as happened in Chile with Marc Anthony in 2008 or Bieber Justin in 2011, to cite just two examples.

But there are others that are grown outside the visible scope, and whose bursting allowed to discover the existence of a sustained movement, massive and, above all, very faithful.

With a range that goes from dance to R&B, the sound of many of these groups did not differ significantly from many other boy bands, but no doubt the Eastern factory delivers unique and distinctive factor.

The effect then is stronger in K-Pop fans, who also tend to be consumers of anime and other elements of pop culture in Asia, with a fascination and loyalty so marked, allowing them to identify all the factors that is associated with an urban tribe

JYJ is a trio of singers comprised by Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu, who began their activities in the most representative group of KPOP, TVXQ. They left their management suing them and started working with figures like Kanye West and Rodney Jerkins. With them recorded their debut album “The Beginning”, which extracted the single “Ayy Girl”.
