Entertainment agency C-JeS Entertainment’s CEO Baek Chang Joo stated that his goal is “To make JYJ a long-running group.”

CEO Baek Chang Joo, who is in charge of running JYJ’s agency C-JeS Entertainment, drew the attention of many when he stated that this was his goal in the first edition of the ‘THE JYJ’ magazine, which contains the current whereabouts of the members and honest interviews from them.
In the interview, CEO Baek stated, “JYJ will continue to consistently hold world tours,” and “I want to make JYJ a long-running group.”

He stated, “When I’m asked what my goal is, I always say, ‘To survive’. I don’t know exactly till when, but I believe that ‘surviving till the end’ is very important. It’s not that the strong are the ones who survive, but that those who survive are strong,” and “Just because one is doing well now, doesn’t mean they are guaranteed to keep doing well in the future.”

The first edition of ‘THE JYJ’ contains honest interviews from the members that took place over 25 hours, as well as their memories of the past 1000 days as members of JYJ. A DVD containing 40 minutes of unreleased footage is also included in the magazine. ‘THE JYJ’ will be released every six months and will be catered to JYJ’s fans.

Meanwhile, JYJ have been active as ‘Korea’s representative group’ through various state events and honorary ambassador jobs, including performing at the 18th Presidential Inauguration ceremony.

They ended their lawsuit with SM Entertainment last November in three years and four months, and won their lawsuit against Japan’s AVEX on the 18th of January. As JYJ are now free to pursue activities in Japan, they are planning to greet fans in Japan for the first time in four years in Tokyo Dome in April.

JYJ‘s Junsu discussed his thoughts on the ending of the legal battle with SM Entertainment.

Junsu took part in a press conference at the Sheraton Hotel in Essen, Germany to mark the ending of his 1st World Tour. He said, “The legal battle lasted for 3 years and 4 months. To be honest, it should have ended earlier… But at the same time I also feel that the results came out suddenly. Having had a hard time for 3 years and 4 months, I felt like that time was not spent in vain… I heard the news when I was leaving for Germany, so I actually don’t know all the details of the settlement.”

JYJ‘s Junsu discussed his thoughts on the ending of the legal battle with SM Entertainment.

Junsu took part in a press conference at the Sheraton Hotel in Essen, Germany to mark the ending of his 1st World Tour. He said, “The legal battle lasted for 3 years and 4 months. To be honest, it should have ended earlier… But at the same time I also feel that the results came out suddenly. Having had a hard time for 3 years and 4 months, I felt like that time was not spent in vain… I heard the news when I was leaving for Germany, so I actually don’t know all the details of the settlement.”

He continued, “Because of that, it’s hard to say too much on this. The important thing is that we were able to obtain good results. I haven’t talked to the members yet, but I want to when I get back to Korea.”

When asked about what JYJ has been able to gain from the settlement, he responded, “I’m happy not because we achieved what JYJ or we wanted to achieve, but because we might have helped our hoobaes. I think we helped in making the environment better for our hoobaes. Contracts of 13, 10 years have been changed to basic contracts, and even that alone was consolation during our lonely legal battle. It’s what kept us going.”

On the issue of appearing on variety shows, he said carefully, “If this type of result allows for us to appear on broadcast, then it should have been possible three years ago when we first filed (to become independent).” He added, “I don’t know if it will be possible for us to appear on variety shows through this result. We always dream about it, but I want to ask all you reporters, do you think we can?“

One unfortunate result of the lawsuit was that there will probably never be a 5-membered TVXQ. On that subject, he said, “A lot of time passed, but one unfortunate fact is that we can no longer have activities under the TVXQ name. We wanted to fight against the company’s unfairness, it wasn’t that we wanted to leave TVXQ. It just had to happen. It’s regretful and saddening. I feel sorry to the fans, but the title of TVXQ will remain forever. But realistically, it’s going to be difficult to promote as TVXQ again.”

Pictorials from JYJ member Park Yoochun‘s Bali photo shoot have been revealed.
Yoochun who successfully wrapped up SBS drama series ‘Rooftop Prince‘ posed for the July publication of ‘Elle Korea‘ magazine.

The singer/actor was asked how he felt about building his acting career, starting with KBS2‘s ‘Sung Kyun Kwan Scandal‘, and moving on to MBC‘s ‘Miss Ripley‘ and most recently to ‘Rooftop Prince‘.
He responded that he went into ‘Rooftop Prince’ without any expectations, and decided that he would just enjoy the shoot. In turn, he said, that allowed for a better outcome in the end.

Whenever he had some free time during the photo shoot, Yoochun would place his earphones back in his ears. When asked which album he listened to the most these days, he answered, “These days, I listen a lot to JYJ member Junsu‘s album. I’m so proud to say I am a fellow member.”

Yoochun also continued to praise his fellow members, talking about how exceptional it was of Junsu to release a solo album and make his musical debut, while also sending a message of encouragement to Jaejoong who is once again trying his hand at acting.

The photo shoot also happened to fall on his birthday, but the singer very casually remarked that it was no big deal, and that he had never celebrated his birthday in Korea since his debut. That night, the Elle staff members prepared a small and comfortable BBQ party to celebrate, and the staff members reported that Yoochun came across as extremely down to earth and easy-going as he enjoyed his day.

On June 15th, JYJ‘s Junsu held a press conference at the JITEC (Mangga Dua Square) in Indonesia for his Asia tour.

Over 100 reporters bustled at the scene, and Junsu made an effort to genuinely respond to each question asked. On being in Indonesia, he revealed, “I wanted to come here with all of the members of JYJ so I’m a bit disappointed that I couldn’t. I’m glad that I can come to such an amazing country as a solo artist so I will promise you that I’ll put on a show just as amazing.”

When asked why he dyed his hair blue, he replied, “Since this is my first time visiting Indonesia, I wanted to create a fresh start with myself. I also wanted to just change it up a bit.”

Reporters then asked what kind of advice he’d give to Indonesian youth on their futures. “As you live on, you’ll realize that where there is good, there is also bad. Don’t waste your energy on the bad and try to be satisfied with the good. Gaining positive energy will bring about great accomplishments.”

A representative of his Indonesian concert organizer expressed, “There aren’t a lot of Hallyu stars that visit Indonesia yet, so Junsu’s visit has been earning a lot of interest. Many have already heard that he is known for high quality concerts so there is a lot of anticipation going for him.”
