JYJ’s Seoul concert had a
Mammoth economic impact
Through JYJ’s ‘Worldwide Concert in Seoul’, held recently on November 27th and 28th, the trio once again showcased their popularity among international fans, and proved why they are considered the central axis of the Hallyu Wave.
A total of 3000 international fans flew into Korea to watch the show, including fans from Japan, China, Taiwan, and Malaysia, as well as those in America and Europe. Due to this, flight agencies were able to see a visible bump up in sales for November 2010.
One magazine company in the tourism industry stated before JYJ’s concert, “2143 of JYJ’s Japanese tourists will fly into Korea in November, with JYJ’s Korean concerts on the 27th and 28th having a huge influence on this.” Another representative of a tourist agency expressed, “Of the 4,113 tourists our company is serving, 2,500 are tourists who came to watch JYJ’s concert.”
A horde of fans gathered at the Jamsil Olympic Stadium five hours before the concert even began. The concert venue transformed into a global festival, where fans from Japan, China, Thailand, the Philippines, America, England, and Germany were able to meet.
“The number of tourists entering Korea made a great jump upwards because of this concert. Through this, JYJ have proved their power and devotion as Hallyu stars,” explained a tourist agency representative at the concert venue.
They continued, “It got to the point where it became difficult for travelers to book rooms at hotels in Seoul. This concert would probably have raked in an economic value between $800,000 to $8 million USD.”
Meanwhile, just under two months ago, representatives of the Korean Entertainment Producers Association stated that, “JYJ’s activities will have a negative influence on the Hallyu Wave”, and sent out letters of request to various public and cable TV shows, asking them to avoid broadcasting JYJ on TV.
Despite this, JYJ have been traveling for the past month to six cities in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and China, as well as three of the biggest cities in America, in order to hold the concerts for their worldwide showcase, which attracted an enormous international fan base and thus proved wrong the flimsy allegations against their negative influence on the Hallyu effect.

Sungkyunkwan Scandal Interview Yoochun Cut
img credit as tagged
Q1. Yoochun-kun also acted in Japan, therefore, is there any difference between acting in Korea or Japan? Also, in the future, do you want to continue the performing arts life or a keen singer's activities?
A: How to say... I have never ventured the acting field before, so it's hard for me to tell the difference between the two. Regarding acting, I have a lot of trouble and so as well as a singer's activities. But since this kind of work was given to me, I will try to do my best to do well. This kind of mindset during this period of time acting in "Sungkyunkwan Scandal," allows me to do my best filming holding on to the thought of giving a good performance for everyone.
Q2. To Yoochun-kun, what is exercise? Is is the same as the relationship between water and oil?
A: I don't hate exercising. Now I want to do my best to try maintaining my face and my physique. Hahaha...
Q3. Yoochun-hyung/oppa, in challenging acting for a drama for the first time in Korea, is there any secret method of acting training?
A: I accepted acting coaching such as pronunciation and voice training and they can also be considered as secret methods. But between practice and actual performance in front of the camera, there is still a large gap. I asked the director a lot, as well as the sunbae actors (seniors) and the other actors I acted alongside with, and they pointed out to me the parts where I didn't act too well and as much as possible putting in much effort to correct them. As I watched my scenes, I questioned how it could be like... Orderly learning how to do shoots.
Q4. Micky Yoochun! While you're acting as a "perfect guy," when are the moments that you think that "Ah! This perfect guy is so cool!"? And where do you think that you are similar to "perfect guy"?
A. No matter what others say, one must always follow his own principles! As Seonjun is a person who lives uprightly, I think a character with that kind of charisma is hard to find nowadays. In the drama, Seonjun is forced to be a person who upholds his own principles and one of the reasons is due to his father. The kind of pressure that Seonjun feels due to his living condition is what I felt the common thing about us. I felt much pressure during this period of time at work too. Unlike what I thought it would be, the pressure does not come from me being a star but a feeling of losing myself. However, this feeling gradually disappears as the pressure from acting disappears.
Q5. Yoochun-hyung/oppa, in Japan you also said the line "Strip down," and in Korea you said "Take it off" (old formal way of speech), how do you feel about these kinds of lines?
A: Ahaha. So depressing. In the drama, it's normal to say that as everyone thinks that Yoonhee is a male. Embarrased for no reason...
