[NEWS] 111205 JYJ’s Donations and Volunteer Activities: Proving themselves as True Hallyu Stars

Group JYJ (Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun, Kim Junsu) are showing themselves as true Hallyu stars. JYJ, rather than just simply singing on stage, show a new face of Hallyu star by sharing their hardships and pains with their fans through the songs they sing. As well as JYJ’s successful world tour which began last April and took place in Asia, North America, and even Spain and Germany; the JYJ members have also received a lot of love from fans for being heavily involved in charity and donating. They have been appointed as United Nations UNAIDS ambassadors as well sent donations to the Japanese earthquakes, the Thailand floods, and other organizations. Also, JYJ have released albums and taken part in dramas and musicals, which keeps fans happy despite limited domestic broadcasting activities.

During the Thailand, Taiwan, Beijing, and other Asian shows over 43,000 people mobilized and similar success was announced for the Canadian and American shows as well. After that they preformed a charity concert in Japan before moving on to Busan, and Gwangju. The second round of Japanese concerts, which was held in the Ibaraki prefecture, had over 80,000 fans present over a two day period. From there they finished their tour holding solo concerts in Barcelona, Spain and Berlin, Germany, both of which were great successes.

On the world tour JYJ sang songs that were created by the famous American musicians Kanye West and Rodney Jerkins for their World Wide album “The Beginning” , as well as self composed songs found on JYJ’s first Korean album “In Heaven”. The World Tour took place in 13 cities and brought in audiences of over 200,000 in total. The Asian leg of the tour was directed by JYJ member Kim Jaejoong himself.

[TRANS] 111203 JYJ sent congratulatory message to Sejong law firm for its 30th anniversary

On Nov 30^th, Sejong has celebrated the 30^th anniversary of it founding at Westin Chosun Hotel in Sogong-dong, Seoul. Before this event, famous singers JYJ’s members’ congratulatory video was showed. They said, “During our very difficult time, thanks to Sejong, we were able to start our activities again. Next time, we hope that we can meet as younger brothers and brothers/sisters, not in case of incident/accident.”

“Incident/accident” refers to the fact that they have withdrawn from SM Entertainment’s affiliated group DBSK in 2009 and involved in a legal dispute. On their behalf, Sejong applied for injunction against SM Entertainment, demanded SM to do not interfere in breakaway members’ independent entertainment activities. The Court accepted this application in October 2009. SM Entertainment filed an objection against it but it was dismissed last February. With this winning (T/N: in original article, the journalist used “승소”, a legal term which means “win a case/lawsuit”), JYJ traveled with their concerts around Europe and Asia and have become one of the leaders of “Hallyu Fever”.

In 2009, Sejong formed a team wholly charged for events in entertainment industry, with lawyer Im Sang-hyuk and 5 other lawyers as main axis. On the behalf of JYP Entertainment, this team was responsible of various negotiations with Sony Japan, in order to sign a contract establishing local affiliated company. Early this year, they gave legal advice to DSP Media that was dealing with the declaration of leaving of KARA’s members. They also took charge of contract issue between actor Song Sae-byuk and JY Entertainment.

As entertainment industry has grown with “Hallyu Fever”, it became a trend that many law firms formed a team exclusively responsible for entertainment cases. Yulchon also has Cultural Industry team that engages in advisory activities for entertainment companies including SM Entertainment.
