[NEWS] JYJ to Attend Manga Festival in Spain; #1 in Peru Radio Weekly Charts

JYJ Explosive Response in Europe. #1 in Peru Radio’s Weekly Charts

JYJ’s European Tour is receiving an explosive interest from K-pop fans of the location.

Among the 5000 seats for JYJ’s solo concert to be held in Poble Espanyol of Spain’s Barcelona on the coming 29^th, 80% was sold in 3 days and surprised the affiliates of the location. Further, for the concert to be held in Berlin, Germany in November, the server of the ticket website was downed as soon as it was opened due to the flooding of the web traffic.

An affiliate of the concert revealed his impressions; “This is not a concert planned by a mega entertainment company but rather a solo concert, and so this situation is even more surprising. I again felt the popularity of K-pop in Europe and the high anticipation for JYJ.”

JYJ revealed: “It was our first time doing a European Tour and so there were some aspects about which we felt fearful. We thank you for the high level of interest and we will prepare a great concert. Not long ago, Spain’s ambassador to Korea encouraged us in a meeting, telling us that he is thankful that we have come to do a concert in Spain. On top of this, to hear that the ticket sales are going well like this, we are overwhelmed with the excitement over the concert that will be held with the European fans.”

Further, JYJ was invited to a manga festival in Spain that gathers 60,000 people every year.

On the stage of this festival, JYJ plans to hold an occasion that gifts to the public of western Europe and the press of the location the attractiveness unique to JYJ.

This is not all. JYJ’s Get Out took #1 in the weekly chart for radio in Peru of South America with 3701 votes. At this, JYJ revealed their hopes: “After the release of the world wide album and the world tour, from cities all over the world love calls for JYJ are pouring in. From now on also, we plan to keep push ahead with the world tours which enable us to meet with fans from all over the world.”

JYJ’s domestic popularity is heated as well.

According to Ole Music’s announcement, JYJ conquered the chart for the 4^th week and proved its popularity. This achievement is a record that was created in a situation that was different from other artists in their lack of appearing on TV, and so is even more meaningful. JYJ’s affiliates expressed their disappointment: “There has not once been an occasion in which JYJ was asked to appear. Even if we go visit them with an album there is no news. In particular, it is difficult to accept the fact that we are not even included on the charts of music programs when we are creating a storm on Hanteo Chart. Since the music programs on each of the broadcast stations cannot cite a valid reason for refusing to ask/let JYJ appear, it seems that now they are simply ignoring.”

On the other hand, JYJ will hold a large-scale concert in which 60,000 will attend in Japan’s Hitachi Beach Park in Irabaki Hyun on the 15^th and 16^th.
