class="content-title"Male Idols Sporting Makeup-Free Faces

If you’re familiar with the world of K-Pop, you probably know and are already adjusted to male celebrities wearing makeup. Some stick with natural makeup like bb cream and lip gloss while others experiment with more makeup like eyeliner and eyeshadow whether it’s because they’re on television or they want to look good for their fans/

Even so, there are probably days when they don’t want to wear makeup and let their skin breathe. Many male idols, female celebrities included, don’t have makeup on during dress rehearsals and sometimes when they leave for the airport.

[TRANS] One of the Most Credible Music Review Sites: IZM’s Review on One Kiss

Kim Bada of ‘Art of Parties’ lent his weight [to the song] as a composer. The solid drum line and rendition of synthesizer on guitar backing gives the sound of a rock ballad a lively vibe through the incorporation of pop’s softness. With this, the protagonist of the song, who has a clear yet husky voice, combined with a strong foundation in singing ability, performs what one can call an excellent piece of vocal acting while walking a fine line between the sweetness of ballad and the wildness of rock.

The single One Kiss, is from his first solo album. If you think about his career as a singer, you can’t say it is not late. But if you consider his solo concert slated at the end of this month, the timing couldn’t get more appropriate. With this, he has presented JYJ fans a single that is full of rock sounds and serves as a fun comparison point to Kim Junsu’s album that puts emphasis on contemporary R&B sound. It is a high-riding piece of music that enlarges his career as an artist and brings a diversity of colors to the group JYJ.

Translation Note:
1. Art of Parties is a newly launched rock band by Kim Bada
2. Just in case you complain about the score 3.5, I ask you to compare it to the scores that other artists’ songs have received from IZM. (Link) This is a very high score they have given! And for your information, IZM is one of the most credible music review sites in South Korea.

class="entry-title"10 Bold Predictions in K-pop for 2013

2012 was full of scandals and twists and turns in music that no one could have predicted. And that’s part of what makes K-pop so fun: it seems so predictable sometimes, but then it’ll come up behind you and drop a bomb that you had no idea was coming. Authors jennywill and contagion recently came together to give some predictions on what unexpected things could happen in 2013. So, without further ado, here are 10 Bold Predictions for 2013:

(skipped unrelated...)

5. Which celebrities will enlist this year?

Nearly every Korean male has got to go the military at some point, but who’s up for enlistment this year? Normally, Korean males go right after high school or 1 or 2 years into college. That would mean any idols born before 1994 are already older than the normal age for enlistment.

JYJ’s Jaejoong has already been drafted, and has delayed his enlistment at least twice, making him the most likely to go in 2013. Junsu may go as well, though it’s doubtful the two will go at the same time. As far as we know right now, Yoochun is exempt from service due to severe asthma, but he seems to have mysteriously shaved his head for some reason. Although he’s told fans that it wasn’t for military service, what could it be for?

***I’m sure he feels happy knowing this great news. I’m happy for him as well. He deserves this. That's impressive for a single artist & so fast! It's only been 6 days since the official release! I wonder if that includes pre-orders. Maybe no. Jaejoong is doing really great with his solo album! And JJ has not promoted (in person) in China. Go Jaejoong! Congratulations to you! As expected from Jaejoong……. I also heard that the Chinese viewers also rate the videos themselves & like it. But it is still a shame that he cannot perform in his own country……….sigh.

class="entry-title" align="center"[TRANS] 130124 Kim Jaejoong: ‘Sunye, Who is Getting Married, is Very Lucky’ + Talks About His Recent Love

JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong expressed his envy for Wonder Girls’ Sunye, who will be getting married soon.

Kim Jaejoong said during his interview on the 21st at Seoul Plaza Hotel, “When I did interviews before, saying ‘I want to get married soon’ was like a habit. However, it was absurd. Marriage is really tough,” as cutely complained.

Born in 1986, Kim Jaejoong turns 28 this year. Having debuted in 2004, this year will be his 10th year as a singer. During the time Kim Jaejoong was involved in the entertainment industry, his 20s also went by. Bringing up the topic of ‘love’, Kim Jaejoong’s rather firm expression returned to that of a normal man in his late 20s.

He muttered, “Sunye is 24 years old, but she’s getting married this week. Dating is hard.” He continued, “As a person, Sunye is very fortunate. Meeting the person she loves and having a family at that age is not easy to accomplish.”

Kim Jaejoong, who introduced his ‘lonely state’, revealed his recent love that came and went. He said, “If you look at my new album, there’s a song called ‘My Only Comfort’. That song is a recount of my experiences. I prepared a ring for that person but she left me without being able to see the ring. Does she know? That I prepared a ring?”

Immersed in his thoughts for a moment, he said “I got a refund for the ring. If you bring it in the next day, they’ll give you a refund. It was a couple ring and I was wearing mine already. Because I was wearing mine already, I couldn’t get a refund for that one” and laughed. He continued, “Ah, Sunye’s wedding is the same day as my concert. Many people should come (to my concert) but would it be buried by Sunye’s wedding? I don’t know.”

@willinette, that's awesome! So proud of JYJ boys
JJ mentions YC in his interview. PS: Yoochun is my bias~ Hehehe

24Jan2013[Article] Jaejoong praises Yoochun’s acting skills and also wants to go on “Law of the Jungle

Sina Entertainment News: Kim Jaejoong praises Park Yoochun’s acting skills and wants to appear in “The Law of the Jungle”

Kim Jaejoong, Park Yuchun and Kim Junsu, 3 members of JYJ were being blacklisted for all TV and music activities because of a contract dispute with their previous employer, SM Entertainment.  After 3 years and 4 months of lawsuit, last year in November 2011 , both parties ended the lawsuit with mutual agreement. Fans are looking forward to the 3 of them appearing on TV programs.

During an interview with Jaejoong in a coffee house at Apgujeong, he disclosed, “If there is a possibility, I would like to participate in variety shows.” Later Jaejoong  chose SBS TV <The Law of the Jungle> as the show he’ll like to appear in. “Recently, I heard that a friend Joe Cheung will be appearing in <The Law of the Jungle> and I really envy him.” Jaejoong’s answer surprised the interviewer as his princely image does not seem to match any “wild” qualities.  He then added, ” Actually I’m a forest guy and is one that can sleep no matter how cold the place is”, he said jokingly.

Another JYJ member Park Yuchun also mentioned during the “Missing You” drama press conference, ” When <The Law of the Jungle> was just broadcast, I thought I must participate once. It has been some time that I have been in a variety show and if there is a chance to join, it will be very interesting. “

Park Yuchun recently completed the shooting of popular MBC TV drama <Missing You>. Due to his remarkable performance, he is seen as one of the most talented among male actors in their 20s.  Regarding this, Jaejoong said ” I have watched <Missing You>,  Yuchun is an actor that can leave a lasting memory on people, and no matter what role, he can interpret it very well. ” He praised Yuchun’s excellent acting skills.

And then he also added, ” Watching my members’ projects, I always feel– “too handsome”, “acting too good”, expressing the deep friendship with his members.

Lastly, Kim Jaejoong revealed, “When we meet up, we don’t really evaluate each other’s acting skills. Because most of the time we are fooling around, so we’ll say, ‘Really too handsome, someone like you only appears once in a few centuries’ etc to praise each other highly. “

Releasing his first mini solo album <I> since debut, Kim Jaejoong will be having a special concert “Your, My and Mine”, which is a mini concert combined with a fan meet, on 26 and 27 at IIsan KINTEX.

class="entry-title"[iNTERVIEW] 130124 JYJ′s Kim Jae Joong is Sad About JYJ′s Inability to Appear on TV

Although its legal proceedings with SM Entertainment have come to a conclusion, JYJ is still unable to appear on TV as singers.

As such, JYJ member Kim Jae Joong recently came to voice his sorrow at being unable to perform on TV.

In a recent interview with enews, Kim Jae Joong said, “It′s not just our problem, but we′re really sorry.”

Kim Jae Joong, Park Yoo Chun and Kim Junsu, who were members of TVXQ (DBSK) at the time, demanded their contract with SM Entertainment be cancelled, filing a lawsuit against the agency in 2009. Their opinion was that their 13-year contract with SM was too long, and that the division of profits were set at the agency′s advantage.

As the court acknowledged that it “approves individual promotions,” the members have continued to promote through dramas, albums and concert tours inside and outside Korea. The group, however, hasn′t been able to appear on music or variety shows. The three main channels defended their avoidance of the group with the assertion that its appearance could have an affect on the court decisions.

The long battle came to an end in December with an agreement between SM and JYJ, but the main channels are still treading carefully around the issue of the group′s televised appearances.

Kim Jae Joong said about the lack of televised promotions, “People around me tell me ′you′re doing great even without television′ or ask ′aren′t you doing okay without it?′ but that′s how it looks when you see things from JYJ′s point of view. Celebrities need to approach their fans through the media, but for us, it′s the fans who have been seeking us and our music.”

He added, “Elementary school students these days don′t know us. Though they do know us, they know us as actors, so that′s saddening. We′ve spent almost four years this way, and we want to repay our fans who have been coming in to visit us.”

In the meantime, Kim Jae Joong released his first solo mini album Mine on January 17. The title song has been received as a revival of traditional rock.

[NEWS] Kim Jae-Joong, “It’s Sad that We Cannot Appear on Programs… It’s Not Just a Problem of Ours”

Kim Jae-Joong talked of hardships of restricted broadcast activities.

Kim Jae-Joong, who released first solo album ‘Mine’ recently, had an interview at Seoul Sang-Am Stanford Hotel on January 22 and revealed his thought toward appearing on broadcast programs. He has been not able to appear on music and entertainment program even though the dispute between JYJ and SM Entertainment finished. He is appearing on drama because of acting activities, but he has not been able to appear on music and entertainment program for 4 years.

Kim Jae-Joong said, “It’s sad. It’s not just a problem of ours. Some say ‘Why do you have to appear on other broadcast programs while you are acting in dramas and movies’. But we have fans love us and our music. We entertainers need service of showing them what they want.

We had 4 years of restriction, but now we want to repay our fans. I think we need to give bigger service through broadcast or concert. Also, there are elementary student and middle school student fans. I think people around them may not know us. It’s sad.”

Meanwhile, Kim Jae-Joong released first solo album ‘Mine’ on January 17, and is going to hold a concert ‘You’re, My and Mine’ at Ilsan Kintex on January 26 and 27 to meet fans.
