[Trans] 110904 Unable To Appear On Music Programs, JYJ Turn To Popular Dramas

Park Yoochun, Kim Junsu, Kim Jaejoong. The trio of JYJ, who split from TVXQ to form a new popular group, have all starred in domestic dramas.

After Park Yoochun wrapped up filming for ‘Miss Ripley’ (MBC) that began in May and ended in July, Kim Junsu made a short but strong appearance in the popular drama ‘Scent of a Woman’ (SBS). And now, Kim Jaejoong is playing the role of Department Head Cha Mu Won in ‘Protect the Boss’ (SBS) and stealing the hearts of drama viewers.

Though it’s normal to see idols taking on a side job as actors, JYJ’s situation is quite different. While other singers appear on music and variety programs while taking on roles in dramas, JYJ can only be seen in dramas.

The forerunner out of the trio who found a way to relieve his stress of being unable to appear on music programs through drama appearance is Park Yoochun, as many already know. Last August till November, he appeared in the fusion historical drama ‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’ (KBS) and made his mark as an actor who is sought after by drama producers.

Kim Junsu appeared in ‘Scent of a Woman’ as Asia’s top Hallyu singer ‘Junsu’, who Lee Yeon Jae (Kim Seon Ah) wanted to see before she died. ‘You are so Beautiful’, the OST that Kim Junsu performed live during the drama, drives into the viewers’ ears whenever an emotional scene takes place between the two leading roles (Kim Seon Ah, Lee Dong Wook).

Kim Jaejoong is currently being loved as the creator of the love triangle between him, No Eun Seol (Choi Kang Hee) and Cha Ji Hun (Ji Sung) in the drama ‘Protect the Boss’. Critics have stated that though his acting was a little awkward at the beginning, he is improving as the episodes progress.

CEO Baek Chang Joo of C-JeS Entertainment stated, “As Junsu has already made his mark in the musical industry, he doesn’t want to take on dramas just yet. But Jaejoong and Yoochun will continue to appear in dramas.“

The trio have had restrictions placed on their broadcasted appearances since creating JYJ after leaving TVXQ and SM Entertainment in July, 2009. It has been known that SM has been calling for such restrictions as they believe that JYJ entered a dual contract with C-JeS, the focal point of SM’s lawsuit against JYJ. Though the Courts dismissed SM’s exclusive contract suspension injunction against JYJ and C-JeS in February and laid down the verdict that SM must not interfere with JYJ’s independent activities, JYJ have bene unable to appear on the music programs of Korea’s three major broadcasting companies.

Board of directors member Park Jin Hyung of AStory, the production company of ‘Protect the Boss’ and ‘Scent of a Woman’, stated, “Kim Jaejoong was chosen as the first person to approach for the role of Cha Mu Won, and we deemed that Kim Junsu was the appropriate person to take on the role of a Hallyu star in the drama, as well as to sing the OST,” and “SM’s influence doesn’t reach the drama industry, unlike in the entertainment industry, so we were able to cast JYJ in their respective roles without any problems.” SBS PD Nam Tae Jin of ‘Scent of a Woman’ stated, “No interferences took place in the casting of JYJ.”

[Trans] 110713 Kim Jaejoong Appears In His First Drama.. How Did He Start It Off?

JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong(25) went hiking for his first domestic drama.

He traveled to nearby suburbs for a two-day-long bonding trip with the cast of SBS’ new Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Protect the Boss’.

Kim Jaejoong said, “The first time that I arrived on location, it felt so awkward that I couldn’t approach my fellow cast members,” and “At that time, Ji Sung brightened up the atmosphere. Ji Sung hyung is someone who believes that actors have to be close to work well together, so he planned a bonding trip for all of us.”

He also added, “Five of us(Ji Sung, Choi Kang Hee, Wang Ji Hae, Lee Hui Won) went hiking together and shared lots of stories,” and “After we were done with our hiking expedition, I sang for a talent contest we had, and I was so embarrassed.” He continued to reminisce as he laughed and said, “It might be okay for other people to mess up their singing to make it funny or interesting, but I felt like I couldn’t mess up, so I remember doing my best as I sang.”

But he said that he had it better than others. “Wang Ji Hae had to show off her singing skills twice because she sang during the bonding trip and then she had to sing in front of her acting seniors.”

Kim Jaejoong says he is slowly getting used to filming for his drama and said, “I feel relaxed around everyone now,” and “Nowadays, I sometimes exchange texts or phone calls with Choi Kang Hee noona.”

He thanked Ji Sung as he added, “Ji Sung hyun calls me over to rehearse together when we don’t have any filming to do,” and “He’s been giving me a lot of help on my acting.”

Kim Jaejoong will be playing Cha Mu Won, the ‘prince of the financial world’. Though he is cousins with Cha Ji Hun(Ji Sung), he is in an antagonistic relationship with his cousin because of the feud between their parents over running the family business. The drama will begin airing on the 3rd of August.

I’m jealous of this freedom and wonder when I will experience it too.”

On the day of the interview, Jaejoong met Yoochun at a hair salon, who was preparing for a shooting of “Miss Ripley”. He said that, “Even while he was getting his hair shampooed, he still had his script in his hand and was memorizing his lines. “It seems that because of his tight schedule sleep is about an hour, his eyebags seems to reaching down to his lips.”

Unknowingly, JYJ has debuted for 7 years and probably of the reason that they have went through many obstacles together with the fans, they are even getting similar to each other with their compassionate hearts.

Sharing the love that they have gotten from the fans to others who needed help, a part of JYJ’s concert income from every performances was donated to charity organization. Compassionate JYJ is the model to the fans and fans extended their kindness through activities such as rice and blood donation and organising a charity drive for heart patients.

Upon hearing the praises for JYJ fans from the reporter, Kim Jaejoong said with a contented look, “I’m very proud. And I do know of some good deeds that was not publicized. Looking at them makes us determined to do more good deeds and this is really very fulfilling.”

During Asia showcases, world tour performances and fanmeetings, it is a common sight to see fans crying due to their unchanging love for the trio JYJ and everyone’s cause for tearing is usually due to Kim Jaejoong. Members have ever said in a programme about crybaby Kim Jaejoong, revealing “Kim Jaejoong really loves to cry and once he starts crying, it won’t stop. It is just like a tap being left open.” To this, Kim Jaejoong explained, “Actually I used to be a crybaby. There was a period of time where I kept crying. Recently the tears lessened, it feels as though the tears have been used up,” emphasizing that he is no longer a boy who loves to cry.

Kim Jaejoong was known to be the member who loves to observe fans’ reactions. When being asked by the reporter about the reason, he blinked and said, “I am very curious what everyone is talking about. There were fans who liked us since we debuted, many fans who later on likes JYJ and 30 or 40 years old fans who appeared after Yoochun acted in ‘Sungkyunkwan Scandal’. There are even teens who chose us amongst the many idol groups. The age range of the fans were enlarged and it is very novelty. Although there are people who find it a hassle to observe fans’ reactions while busy at work, but to me, it wasn’t like that. I really wished to know what are fans thinking about, talking about.”
