SM Entertainment files injunction against sale of JYJ’s “The Beginning” album

SM Entertainment files injunction against sale of JYJ’s “The Beginning” album

With JYJ’s Jaejoong, Yuchun, and Junsu preparing to release their first official album, “The Beginning,” a law firm representative has just revealed that SM Entertainment filed an injunction against the trio, prohibiting the sale of the album.

The sale of JYJ’s first album is now left entirely in the hands of the court. However, since it will take a considerable amount of time before a decision is made, it’s highly likely that the album will be released onto the market first.

The reason behind SM Entertainment’s restraining order is said to be found in the problems still remaining in their contracts. It has already been over a year since the three filed a lawsuit against SME and began walking a separate path on their own.

“The Beginning” is to be distributed by Warner Music Korea. Stay tuned for updates on this breaking story.

When it comes to IMMATURITY, no one can beat SM Entertainment. I swear they’d do and risk anything just to ruin JaeJoong, Yoochun and Junsu but of course, we won’t let that happen. Cassies, let’s support our beloved TVXQ members and let’s not allow SM Entertainment to ruin their careers.

Always Keep The Faith!

JYJ’s First Showcase: “We finally stood on stage with mics in hand” + Q&A

101013 JYJ’s First Showcase: “We Finally Stood On Stage With Mics In Hand” + Q&A

TVXQ members Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu, who formed a male trio JYJ, finally stood in front of their Korean fans for the first time.

At 9PM on the 12th, JYJ held their 「JYJ Worldwide Showcase」 in Hwajeong Gymnasium, Korea University, Anam-dong, Seoul, and showed off their bright and confident images.

On that day, it was the first public exhibit of JYJ’s first worldwide album 「The Beginning」, which the trio had worked together with famous American producers Kanye West and Rodney Jerkins. During the LIVE, 4 songs from that album, as well as the OST song 「Chajatta」 from KBS2’s drama 「Sungkyunkwan Scandal」, were introduced. This album has attracted a lot of attention because it includes songs by each of the trio, composed from when they were teens. Through their powerful voices and refined choreography, one could catch a glimpse of the sincerity and effort the trio have put into this album.

Next, is a question and answer with JYJ:

— How do you feel, standing on the stage after such a long time?

JJ: Completely grateful. This is the first time we recorded an album in which the songs are all in English, so it might be unfamiliar, but as the fans are familiar with our voices, I hope they’ll listen to it well. As we spent a lot of time preparing for this album, I hope that the fans will enjoy it with all their hearts.

— This is JYJ’s first album. Are there any new feelings?

JS: The album and our music are our means of communication with the fans, so I worried a lot. Through our fans’ support, we were able to release the album without any problems, so I’m really happy.

— The producers involved in this album are very famous people.

YC: I’m really happy to have been able to work with such famous people that I’ve only heard about when I was living in the United States during my childhood. The recording also has special sentimental value because the recording studio that we used also had connections to Michael Jackson.

— In June, after the LIVE in Japan’s Tokyo Dome, Jaejoong cried as he came down the stage.

JJ: Before we did the performances at the Tokyo Dome, we also had a round of LIVES at Osaka. In Osaka, I started crying from the very first song. All the things that we couldn’t express in words were expressed through our expressions. After we sang the last song at the Tokyo Dome, the fans started shouting “Don’t cry”, and that was when the tears came. It wasn’t for the past nor the future; those tears were to express the sadness (I felt) for the present situation.

— Are there any idols among the Korean idols that have caught your eye?

YC: I’ve been really busy lately so I haven’t really been watching TV. Although I’ve only heard their song and not seen them on TV, it seems like Miss A surpasses (the rest) in terms of ability.

— Your resolution henceforth.

YC: We were able to hold mics and stand on stage, as well as meet our fans again. From now on when we release a second album, or when we release albums in future, I hope that people will have the thought of always wanting to listen to our songs. I’m really happy that I’ve been so busy during this period of time. I would be happy if it’s the same in future.

Making a comeback as JYJ, TVXQ members Hero Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun, and Xiah Junsu had their debut showcase ‘JYJ Worldwide Showcase in Seoul’ for their new album ‘The Beginning’ on the night of October 12 at Korea University Hwajung Gymnasium.

With Kim Tae Hyun initiating the interactions between the fans as the MC, the members of JYJ revealed their honest feelings about returning the Korea’s music scene.

With regards to the reason for their tears at their Tokyo Dome Live, they replied, “Tears already came out at the start of the performance. When we were unable to express ourselves with words, our expressions were more frank and open, but in the future, we will try our best to smile during sad times.”

JYJ reminisced saying, “At that time, the members promised not to cry until the very end, but we couldn’t hold it in any longer. It wasn’t because of the past, nor the future, but because of the current situation. This is for sure a feeling that cannot be expressed with words.”

Through this time’s showcase, JYJ revealed for the first time to their Korean fans, their worldwide album, ‘The Beginning’, which was produced by Kanye West and other top American producers. The live songs they say included ‘Ayyy Girl’, ‘Empty’, ‘Be My Girl’, among others. Especially, with a sales volume of over 100 000 copies, the main OST that received popularity through TV drama ‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’, ‘Chajatta’ received a massive response from fans at the showcase.

The 3 members of DBSK who formed the group ‘JYJ’ held their showcase in Korea, starting their official activities.

The 3 members of JYJ held their ‘JYJ Worldwide Showcase in Seoul’ titled showcase at 9pm at Korea University’s Hwajeong Tiger Dome. It has been about a year since they last met their fans in Korea.

This day’s showcase was held to commemorate the first world album ‘The Beginning’ by the 3 members of DBSK who formed JYJ. The 3 members attended last year’s MNet’s Music Awards ‘MAMA’ as prize winners and it has been around a year since then and they have now appeared in front of their fans in Korea again.

This day, the 3 members dressed up in tight black suits and appeared on stage, starting the showcase with their new song ‘Empty’. ‘EMPTY’ is a song produced by world famous Rodney Jerkins who has worked with stars like Michael Jackson and Beyonce and is a R&B pop dance song; a genre which is recently in fashion.

The next song performed was “Be The One”. The tempo of the songs was increased, making the fans increasingly excited. The fans from all over the venue screamed loudly and waved red lightsticks, rejoicing at the 3 members’ comeback. Xiah Junsu, as usual, used his deep and rich vocals to perform the songs. Hero JaeJoong and Micky Yuchun, as expected, used their unique tender and mellow vocal tones to draw in the crowd.

Ending the showcase, Xiah Junsu, delivering his first message, said, “It seems like a very long time since we last performed on stage, but I am grateful that we are now able to perform together with everyone like that. Please keep anticipating (our activities).”

He then added, conveying his feelings at that time, “Until the album was released, I worried a lot, and wanted to achieve the best in being able to communicate with all of you through the music and achieved success.”

The members, during then, due to the contract issue with SM Entertainment, faced many complications. This round, they plan to present a special meaning in their JYJ activities.

Micky Yuchun said, delivering his resolution for their new journey, “I really wanted to hold the mike and stand on the stage. For this album, I really had many deep thoughts and worries all at once. I will work hard so that in the future, whenever we release a new album, everyone will have the thought of wanting to continuously listen to our songs.”

Hero JaeJoong said, “I really want to receive love from everyone. It seems like this resolution has started for this album.” Xiah Junsu said, “To repay everyone for you great love, my thought is that I want to present good music. I will really work hard.” The members delivered to the fans their aspirations of wanting to succeed in their new activities.

This day, the 3 members of JYJ presented to their fans, live, a total of 5 songs, including songs from their new album: “Ayyy Girl”, “Empty”, “Be My Girl” etc.

World famous pop producers like Rodney Jerkins and Kanye West took part in the production of the album. This day, the new songs which have been released to the public displayed a varied ambiance through the activities held in Korea. Though the newest R&B dance songs have been achieved, the members did not forget their characteristic sweet harmonies.

Meanwhile, from this day’s showcase, JYJ will be going to Bangkok, Hong Kong etc. and even to the Americas, holding their worldwide performance in 6 countries; a total of 9 cities, and will meet with their fans from all over the world. Part of the proceeds from the ticket sales will be passed to World Vision to help the impoverished children and to try to diminish such world issues.

In JYJ’s first formal album, America’s famous Kanye West and Darkchild contributed too. This album includes “Empty”, “Be My Girl”, as well as 3 songs composed by JYJ (a total of 7 new songs) and also includes remixes of 3 of the songs.
