With little time left before he goes to the army, JYJ’s Kim Jae Joong shared that JYJ will make a comeback before then. 

On April 30, Kim Jae Joong and the cast and staff of MBC’s Triangle held a press conference at the Imperial Palace Hotel in Gangnam. There, he talked a bit about plans for the near future. 

“I think this project will be my last before going to the army. I want to go to the army after I’ve shown everyone something good.”
However, with the saddening news, Kim Jae Joong added, “It’s hard to give you confirmed details, but I plan on participating in JYJ promotions in the latter half of this year.”
“If it was all on me, I have intentions to adjust it, but because it is a group activity, it’s not something I can just fix on my own. So it’s hard to give you solid details.” 
Triangle, starring Kim Jae Joong, Lee Bum Soo, Im Si Wan, and more will air on May 5.

class="entry-title" style="margin: 0px 0px 20px;"[NEWS] 140430 Kim Jae-joong Plays Tough but Humane Character in ‘Triangle’April 30, 2014 · JYJ3 Team

On April 30th, the press release for MBC’s new drama ‘Triangle’ was held at Imperial Palace Hotel in Nonhyun-dong in Gangnam District, Seoul. Kim Jae-joong wore a black suit and a yellow ribbon to offer his condolences to people affected by the Sewol ferry disaster.

‘Triangle’ is a melodrama about three brothers who got separated at a young age but meet again after not knowing about each other for 20 years. Kim Jae-joong plays a guy who’s called ‘trash at the casino’ living in Gangwon Province.

Kim Jae-joong said, “My character is a gangster, who lives in Sabuk in Gangwon province. He keeps his desires and ambitions. He will start to change after meeting his brothers and Baek Jin-hee”.

Kim Jae-joong also said, “I’ve played cool roles so far like a directing manager or a military officer. But it was hard for me to know about the character as I have never lived like that. I actually feel that I act like ‘Heo Young-dal’ in my daily lives, except the things the character has to do. I like my role as he is more humane than other roles that I played”.

Here are the questions asked to Kim Jae-joong.

- You worked with Lee Beom-soo for ‘Dr. Jin’. What can you learn from Lee Beom-soo?

I’ve watched him acting since I was young. I admire him. I feel grateful to work with him again. I always think that I should become an actor like him.

- You are planning to join the military in the second half of the year. Will this be your last drama before that?

I think so. I’m not sure about the exact date. But I think JYJ will still perform until in the second half. We should wrap it up first.

- Why did you choose ‘Triangle’?

I wanted to join after reading the script. I just loved it. Like Yim Si-wan, I’ve been on many dramas. So I always wanted to try various roles. I like my humane character in the new drama.

- You faced so many hardships in the highlight videos.

He looks cool in some scenes. But he mostly faces so many hardships like being covered with coal. I feel sorry for him. But I’ll do my best to express him as naturally as possible. The more I shoot, the better I understand about the character ‘Young-dal’.

- Don’t you feel pressured comparing to your former drama?

I try to do my best and enjoy working. (Laughter)

- Can you tell me more about the action scenes with Yoshihiro Akiyama (Chu Sung-hoon)?

I’ve never watched ‘The Return of Superman’. But I only knew about him as a friend of mine in Japan knows him. I talked to him in Japanese cause I thought it would be easier for him but he was really good at Korean. I only got hit by him. When we talked, I felt he is against his manly image shown on TV but he is very nice and calm. I was very surprised by that.

- Don’t you want to be a solo artist?

I just feel sorry and sad about it. I don’t think there isn’t any artist who wants to hide himself from the public.

Kim Jae-joong will show a different character this time. The first episode of MBC’s ‘Triangle’ will be aired at 10pm on May 5th.

Correction on last question from PrinceJJ:

The press conference for MBC‘s ‘Triangle’ took place on April 30 at the Imperial Palace Hotel in Seoul.  At the event, Siwan revealed his first impressions of co-star Jaejoong, who plays his older brother in the series.

Siwan said, “I first met Jaejoong during our casino practice.  I was really fascinated at the time.”  Jaejoong added, “I was very fascinated, too.  He was someone I saw on TV, so I was very intrigued.  I was very fascinated with Baek Jin Hee, too.  I thought to myself that they were all very handsome and pretty.”

Siwan continued, “After meeting Jaejoong for the first time, we went out to eat and he ate mackerel for dinner.  I found that very awkward and different.  For some reason, I did not feel like Jaejoong would eat and even if he did, he would enjoy something like hamburgers or pizza.  It was really interesting.  I had an almost mystical fantasy regarding his image.  However, when I saw him eating mackerel, he seemed very much like a normal person and I liked it.”

This 'career' man is working hard for his money...

Welcome to the strip show, I meant Triangle drama. Love that Jae is uninhibited. Going all out for this role.

I think YoungDal may need help to zip (or unzip) them pants...

This scum bag needs all kinds of money so...

Ahhh JJ (I meant YoungDal) partying it up with the ladies throwing money around...

Hope we actually hear "real" rocker Jae (and not pretend bad singing...LOL) belting out!

Scaps by me.

[irilight]

@tealee.. He is full of awesome surprises, isn't he?

Here are a few more screencaps from yesterday..

I resized them, so they should work.. Let me know if it is slow, I'll re-do it.



He looked so exhausted...

[irilight]

@irilight
The more Jaejoong the better...Don't worry...

I believe that this scene will become one of the most iconic scenes in Kdrama...

Already a classic scene and Triangle hasn't aired yet...All kinds of awesome here!

And I simply love these craziness as well...
Just deliriously happy with 'stolen' money...but when you're desperate and just trying to survive...

YoungDal...


and

at the same time.



Love YoungDal's expression. Total unfiltered happiness but with some desperation behind those eyes.
Ah JJ is full of awesome!

^^

scaps by me.

class="content-title"“Empress Ki” and “Triangle” Drama Cast Meet on Set

“Empress Ki” recently aired their final episode on April 29.  The MBC drama series to fill in the Monday and Tuesday evening time slots formerly held by the highly popular drama series will be, “Triangle” featuring JYJ member Jaejoong. On April 28, the cast of both dramas met up since their sets are fairly close to one another.

In the photos, several of the actors from each drama can be seen greeting each other and chatting away. The photos were shared on the official forum for the drama, “Triangle.” 

“Triangle” is about three orphaned brothers who reunite after being separated 20 years ago by an unfortunate event. Jaejoong is set to play the second-oldest brother, Heo Young Dahl who turns to a life of thuggery and is willing to do anything to scrape by while trying to forget the traumatic events of his youth.

class="content-title"Kim Jaejoong Talks About Last Project Before Enlistment, “Triangle,” and JYJ Comeback Plans

Fans of JYJ‘s Kim Jaejoong have another reason to tune in next week for the premiere of “Triangle”.

At the production press conference of the new MBC Monday-Tuesday drama “Triangle” held today, April 30, at the Imperial Palace Hotel in Gangnam, Seoul, the singer turned actor said he will have “Triangle” as his last drama project before he goes to the army.

“Triangle will probably the last (project) before I enlist,” he said. “Because this is my last drama, I think I will have to work even harder. I will try my best to show you a cool side of me,” he added.

The singer-actor mentioned his plans to enlist at his solo concert in Japan last year. Although the exact time and area where he will enlist is yet to be finalized, the singer-actor says fans could anticipate the comeback of JYJ before that time.

“The time has come for me to go to the army. I could adjust my enlistment anytime if I’m doing solo activities but I’m with JYJ, so there are still a lot of things that I have to consider,” said Kim Jaejoong. “For now, I can say that fans can expect a JYJ comeback by the second half of the year. I think I can finish that and then go to the army,” he added.

Reporters followed up with the question, ” Don’t you feel bad that you can’t sing in music programs before you go to the army?” To which Kim Jaejoong replied, “Of course I feel bad about it. I don’t think there’s any artist who wants to have his activities while hiding himself.”

“Triangle” is a story about three brothers who are separated from each other after losing their parents. They meet again by fate 20 years later without knowing what each has gone through. In “Triangle,” Kim Jaejoong plays the role of Heo Young Dal who lives off collecting private loans in Jeongseon, Kangwon-do. A good-for-nothing person who would even take off his clothes and throw them away just to take a collection, he becomes a boss of a gang. 

“Triangle” will start airing on MBC on May 5, 10 p.m. (KST)

class="post-title" style="margin: 0px;"[NEWS] 140502 Kim Jae-joong and Im Si-wan join forcesby Lena

JYJ’s Kim Jae-joong and Z:EA’s Im Si-wan are working together on a drama for the first time, teaming up to play long-lost brothers in MBC’s upcoming “Triangle.”

Separated as children by unfortunate circumstances, Kim’s character Heo Young-dal takes to the streets as a petty thug while his younger sibling Yoon Yang-ha, played by Im, is adopted into a chaebol household to be groomed as the heir to a casino empire.

Their ill-fated paths converge on casino territory where both, unaware of their blood ties, fall for dealer Oh Jeong-hui, played by actress Baek Jin-hee, in what promises to become a high-stakes, soap-operatic love triangle.

At the press conference for the drama in Seoul on Wednesday, both Kim and Im displayed an easy camaraderie at odds with the sibling rivalry that is sure to unfold between their characters when the show starts airing next week.

As the two popular hallyu stars sat down to discuss their new project with the press, both admitted to being a bit starstruck when they first met.

“It was really amazing,” Im, 25, said of how he felt when he finally got to meet Kim.

“I was in awe too,” Kim, 28, said. “When I first saw Im in real life, my initial impression was that he was really good-looking and pretty.”

The two singer-actors bonded over meals and drinks. Im recounted how he was surprised when Kim ordered some mackerel, rice and side dishes.

“I thought he wouldn’t eat at all,” Im said, adding that he had envisioned Kim as someone shrouded in an aura of mystery. “Then I saw him eating that mackerel and rice and he suddenly seemed very human. It was good.”

Now that the ice has been broken, both stars are ready to tackle their latest roles with gusto.

This will be Kim’s fourth and Im’s fifth television drama to date.

For Im, this represents his first full-length series.

“Up until now I have primarily played the younger version of the leads,” Im said, referring to past child roles in hit series like MBC’s “Moon Embracing the Sun” and KBS’ “Man From the Equator.”

Im admitted to being concerned about the toll all those long hours of filming would take on him, but displayed determination to do his utmost by immersing himself completely in his role as a jaded and lonely heir.

Im described his dark hero, Yoon Yang-ha, as someone that people would envy, not pity. “My character is blessed with everything,” he said.

Im said he reached deep to find the empathetic core of his character, the source of all that emotional emptiness. “He lost his brothers when he was young. His father isn’t really his father and doesn’t really treat him like his son. He treats him like an heir, someone he needs to groom to take over his business.”

Im added that this is fairly new, dark territory for him, a contrast to previous roles, where he often played warm-hearted, kind and sweet supporting leads.

“Im is like a clean slate. That is one of his charms,” “Triangle” director Yoo Cheol-yong said. “I think he displays strengths and merits that make him well suited for the role of the younger brother.”

Meanwhile, director Yoo said he cast Kim because despite the singer-actor’s “soft and sweet” demeanor, there was a certain “sharpness” in his eyes.

“It’s a completely different role from those he has played before,” Yoo said. “He is doing a great job.”

Costar Lee Bum-soo, who will be playing the older brother to both Kim’s and Im’s leads, praised Kim, having worked with him on MBC’s “Dr. Jin.”

“While filming ‘Dr. Jin,’ Kim was always humble, responsible and reliable,” said Lee.

Kim seems to take his acting very seriously ― so seriously, in fact, that when he saw he had a shirtless scene coming up, he deliberately lost weight and did not bulk up to stay true to his character.

“Then a week before filming the scene they told me they would like to see a bit more weight on me,” Kim said, explaining how he had to put on muscle within a very short amount of time.

As for the long hours, Kim is embracing the whole process.

“When you are not sleeping a lot, you get sort of hazy and out of focus. Yet that state of mind seems to be in sync with my character, Yong-dal, who is a brash, lazy, not-quite-all-together sort of guy.”

“Triangle” starts airing May 5 on Monday and Tuesday nights at 10 p.m. on MBC.

@tealee, for sure an iconic scene... both his run and his expression when he saw her... !

Did you notice her knees by the way, look totally bruised in the photo of  her with Jejoong from the press conference...

Coming Soon: JYJ’s Comeback, Jaejoong’s Enlistment

The time has come for us to bid farewell to another of our idol oppas heading off to the military. Fans of our March Madness winner, JYJ‘s Jaejoong,  would have seen this coming for a while, since he mentioned his plans at his Japan solo concert last year. The exact date is still unconfirmed, but it’s estimated to be somewhere around the end of this year. The idol-actor made this statement at the production press conference for his upcoming drama Triangle, delivering both the good news and the bad.




Triangle will probably be my last work before my enlistment. I don’t have an exact time frame on my enlistment but JYJ will be releasing an album in the second half of the year. I’ll be leaving after I conclude productions for that.


So the good news, JYJ will finally be releasing their long-awaited album, after focusing on their solo activities for the last three years. It’s astonishing to realize that their last comeback was with“In Heaven” in 2011, although they technically haven’t been away from the scene since Junsuand Jaejoong have remained active with their respective solo albums which met with critical acclaim. Considering that their own individual styles have diverged quite a bit from the group’s, it’ll be interesting to see both of them return to their JYJ roots, together with successful idol-turned-actor Yoochun. With the constantly evolving K-pop landscape, it’ll be interesting to see how the ever-so-fickle K-pop audience responds to JYJ’s comeback after three whole years.

After which, the entertainment industry will suffer a significant loss of talent as Jaejoong bids farewell to his fans and heads to the military. He will be the first of the original TVXQgroup to start doing his time, and Junsu is also rumoured to enter shortly after Jaejoong.

When asked about his desire to perform on music programmes, Jaejoong replied that it frustrates him to have to hide himself although he wants to meet his fans and perform for them. Fans have expressed their anger with SM Entertainment, that they continue to richard simmons-block JYJ from promoting on broadcasting stations through music and variety shows, although the lawsuit has already come to an end.

Will we get to see JYJ appear on broadcasting stations at least once before Jaejoong heads off to shave his glorious head of hair? Only time will tell; meanwhile, let’s enjoy the only ever broadcast performance of JYJ, to swim around in nostalgia-land for a bit.
