Psy takes off his shirt at free concert



On October 4th, Psy held his free concert at Seoul Plaza titled the ‘Seoul Style Concert’, in order to thank all his fans for supporting him so far. Performing his hit songs, around 80,000 people cheered him on through almost two hours of performances.

The free concert, which cost the city a reported 400 million won, was aired live on Live Seoul, YouTube, and UStream to share the festivities with international fans.

The concert started with the Korean national anthem and continued onto Psy’s hits such as “Celebrity,” “Shake It,” “Father” and “We Are the One”. To further heat up the stage, he performed “Gangnam Style,” which has brought him international fame, and the crowd all danced and shouted with excitement.

And as the night came to an end, Psy once again went up the stage and took off his shirt for an encore performance of “Gangnam Style”. The Korean pop star had previously promised that he would perform shirtless if he reached #1 on Billboard‘s “Hot 100”. However, he announced earlier this week that he’d perform topless regardless of whether he reached number 1, to express his gratitude for fans.

Jaejoong talks about JYJ






Its not too much to say that the group that Kim Jae Joong belongs to – JYJ, can sing, do variety and act.



In < Dr Jin >’s press conference, Kim Jae Joong said modestly that “In JYJ, I consider my acting skills to be the worst.” When the reporter asked him to give his own acting a score, he replied ” The score is not given by me, I couldn’t give myself a score. *smiles* The gentle sentimental Yoo Chun and the emotions that I convey are very different and can’t be compared. “



Those who are feel that he only drew upon his super idol star popularity to become an actor, is actually kind of prejudiced. More so as he comes from an idol background, Jae Joong is actually under more pressure to bear harsher scrutiny on his acting and face more challenges. That day, Kim Jae Joong expressed hopes for himself to become a better actor, to be able to grow from various challenges to become an actor who can connect well with audiences.



“It doesn’t help me to only do the things I am good at doing. I hope I can do a better job at acting similar roles, and even if I get hated by the audience I hope to try new roles.”



Jae Joong does not wish to only act characters close to his own personality nor depend on his idol popularity for his projects, even though he will not face derision for such choices. As for his following projects, Jae Joong displayed a fierce determination, he said ” Even though I would like to try romantic comedies again, I would very much like to challenge horror genre with psycho-like roles. “



Even though he is very busy with his singing and acting activities, the 27 yr old Jae Joong is at the right age for love and romance. But being a worldwide beloved idol, it is not easy to openly date someone.



“I’m worried that fans will be hurt. My fans who are for and against this seems to be 50-50. Some fans post on forums saying ‘ Hope that Jae Joong will date this type of woman’, I feel that such fans are so cool. But there are also fans who will be hurt if I go open with a relationship. In my 20s I probably will not openly date, but perhaps I will reconsider in my 30s. *smiles* “



Jae Joong’s deep love for his niece

“My beautiful niece, please grow up beautifully!” Jae Joong’s wonderful photo with his niece, brings a warm smile to our faces.



Jae Joong kisses little baby’s cheek, and chubby little baby’s cute look back at Jae Joong, like she is looking at her father.



“Grow up as cute as your uncle.. ” “Her uncle is JYJ?” “She’s too cute. No wonder Jae Joong loves her so much! “



US LA Trip – Why?

Kim Jae Joong, Park Yoo Chun, Kim Jun Su travelled to LA, USA.

This trip is for JYJ’s next album’s preparations and to meet the collaborators over there.

Other than meetings, the rest of the time – because of dramas and musicals etc individual solo activities that has exhausted the busy JYJ members – they will finally be able to take a rare vacation together.



After Jae Joong’s part in MBC’s weekend drama “Dr Jin” concludes, Park Yoo Chun will be considering his next project and before Jun su’s Asia Tour’s last stop in Hong Kong [ ** extra note 26 Aug 12 ** ] , there will be a small window of around 10 days where the members will be free.



“JYJ and Kanye West’s collaborates with the worldwide album starting World Tour as the goal”. Production of the worldwide album will center around US, therefore there will be constant meetings with local music artists, at the same time, JYJ’s World Tour will also invite directly these music collaborators. [ Translator´s note: to be honest I don't understand the phrase describing who they are meeting with, its sounds like administrators, but in the context I can't be certain. ]

Ronald in the film played a doctorate candidate who specializes in mobile phone apps. In one scene he had to play the parent of a girl. In the past he often had to wear a female disguise, but this one was a first for him. This time as Auntie Beyonce he had to spend three hours in make up. During the shoot, the girl was very scared when she saw this Auntie Beyonce. Luckily as a father Ronald knew how to talk to children. Finally he affected the girl, who even joked, "Where do you come from? You look darker than me!"

Ronald and Ng Chin Yu also had romantic scenes while having watermelons. In this scene he almost kissed Chin Yu, she sneezed and had to run into his face. Unexpectedly during rehearsal Chin Yu truly gave him a head butt. Chin Yu said that she was very happy that Ronald cheered up the entire set and made everyone very happy. For her future boyfriend he must be humorous and funny.
