[TRANS] 101220 JYJ's First Interview "We Consider Ourselves As TVXQ Before JYJ"

[TRANS] 101220
JYJ's First Interview
"We Consider Ourselves
As TVXQ Before JYJ"

JYJ, comprising of Yoochun, Jaejoong and Junsu from the original Hallyu idol group TVXQ, have taken their first step once more. Through their first heart-to-heart interview, they conveyed their honest opinions on the current situation, plans for the future, and their lawsuit with SM Entertainment.

They, who have been born again as JYJ from TVXQ, stated that they have never forgotten their 'TVXQ' roots. Though they are walking down a tunnel that wears them out physically and emotionally with many ordeals such as their continued lawsuit with SM, and the TV appearance restrictions that face them due to this problem, this is something they had been anticipating from the start. JYJ, who sing of hope amidst the chaos and adversities that surround them, are thankful of and treasure even the smallest things, as if they've embraced once more the feelings they had during their times as rookies.

What should be especially noted is that fans are an absolute presence to them. If talk of fans came up even when we were conversing pleasantly, their voices would drop deeper, and their eyes would tear up. We listened to JYJ's story of spreading their presence out into the world with the fans' support on their backs.

-What's different about having activities as JYJ than before? What are the good and bad points?

▲ A good point would be that we've definitely fixed what needed to be fixed contract-wise, and the agency and the artiste are now on equal levels. We control what we do and how we do it from the beginning to the end. Those would be the advantages and we've formed an attachment to them.

A disadvantage could be that our current agency is weaker system-wise than our past one as it is quite new, which may be causing some of the ordeals we are still facing. But we don't see it as a disadvantage because we see this as the process of becoming stronger. We are slowly but surely strengthening our system.

-The two members of TVXQ under SM will begin their activities in January? What do you think about this?

▲ We hope everything goes well for them. Our two friends' comeback is something to welcome and we wish to support it. But honestly, we do feel sad that they're using the name TVXQ. It's not that they are TVXQ and we are JYJ. We consider ourselves as TVXQ before JYJ. It isn't that the name TVXQ and the members are separate, it is that the name is meaningful only when the five of us are together. That is why we decided, after much thought and consideration, to use our initials to create JYJ instead of using the name of our group TVXQ so their decision makes us feel all the more sad with mixed emotions."

-The Beginning album is in English. Why is it in English? Why did you choose to make a worldwide album?

▲ It's not that we insisted that it had to be in English, we just decided to create a worldwide album because we have fanbases, not only in Korea, but in other places such as Asia and the US. We are so happy to have been able to meet with such top producers.

-Participation by representative artistes such as Kanye West and Rodney Darkchild Jerkins made your album a hot issue. What was it like?

▲ Before we met them, we felt a little pressured and wanted to keep our distance because they are such famous individuals. But once we met them, we found them to be great people who made us feel comfortable. Though we were distant at first, in the end, we felt that, 'They're people, just like us."

-Your concert ended recently. There were many ups and downs, but how does it feel to have ended your concert well?

▲ The story of the concert is like a movie. We prepared so much, our anticipation was so high and we did our best to get ready, but we were met with hail and snow on the first day, which meant that we had to take down the roof cover that we had devoted the most time and energy on; it was so distressing. Because of this, there were 3~4 programs that we didn't get to show our fans and we were upset because it felt as though we had failed to keep our promise to our fans.

But we were satisfied with the new type of choreography that we tried out with America's best choreographers, the performances and the new songs. We were happy to have fans there with their warm support though it was such a cold day and we believe that the concert was a satisfactory one overall. After it was over, the members got together and cried our eyes out. We suffered by sleeping two, three hours in a week and there were many up and downs, but we feel happy to know that we showed our fans everything we wanted to show them.

-The lyrics for the song 'Pierrot' became a hot topic because of their profound meaning. What meaning do your compositions have for you? Do you write songs in your spare time? Does that mean we can presume that these compositions will be included in a new album soon?

▲ We do not feel that you have to write songs in order to be a musician. We write songs in our spare time for fans because we like music and we enjoy composing music and find it fun. Another reason is because we wanted to sing songs in Korean for our Korean fans at our concert. Because the songs were well-received, we want to release a commemoration album and we're preparing one right now.

(Jaejoong) For the songs I composed, I wrote them thinking back to the times when I first began writing songs. Nine, which was written with the most basic chords in music, is meaningful as it reminisces of past memories, and I wrote Pierrot because I've always wanted to write a song criticizing society, much like many of the songs that came out during our rookie days, and I wanted to write about the stories of students trapped in school.


-Haven't there been interferences in your activities, such as problems with appearing on TV and distributing your OST? How do you feel about these?

▲ We think it would be more adequate to call them hindrances, rather than interferences. Those were difficult times. But this was something we had anticipated from the start. It's hard to decide to leave your agency if you aren't prepared to accept that you may never be able to sing on stage again. We had mixed feelings and would think 'How could they do such a thing' at times, but we never gave up and thanks to our fans and our management family, we were able to reap good results. We believe we are now making great progress.

-We can't not talk about the lawsuit. Recently, there has been much talk about your relationship with C-JeS, your current agency, what kind of contract do you have with them?

▲ C-JeS isn't our 'entertainment agency', they are our 'management agency'. We are trying to integrate a system that has never been tried before in Korea but is used in Japan and the US. It is where you sign a contract for each specialized job, such as management, distribution and advertisement. Not only are we using this system because we can't sign on with another entertainment agency, but also because we want to work hard with a sense of duty as many people are watching to see what we'll do next. C-JeS respects artistes and have been taking the role of an assistant till now, helping us to achieve good results.

-Your Japanese agency decided to suspend your activities indefinitely due to your relationship with C-JeS, what will happen to your future activities in Japan?

▲ It's a frustrating problem. We're trying as hard as we can to resolve the issue.

-Please say a couple of words to greet 2011 for your fans, who have been waiting to meet JYJ.

▲ (Yoochun) Because 2011, full of hope, is approaching, I don't want to talk about this and that of my past anymore though it may be hard to keep it in. JYJ is prepared to show you the 'epitome of working hard' by working as hard as we can. I want to meet with fans in a casual environment. Next year, I will have fun while participating in our activities.

(Jaejoong) Me too. I don't know what I should say because I have so many things to say, but honestly, these days I feel a bit confused. Please take this in a good way. I was confused as to who I should put as my priority in my life, is it me, is it our fans who helped me overcome the many waves that crashed down on my life, or is it best to prioritize both myself and our fans. People probably saw the fluctuations in my emotions through the tweets on my Twitter account. If I think of myself before others, I feel cold-hearted but if I think of our fans before others including myself, tears spring to my eyes. It's been hard trying to find a balance, but I don't think there will be any days in the future that were harder than those early this year. I will work hard for myself and for others.

(Junsu) What I can honestly say is that it's a miracle that we've been able to come so far though we've gone through so many ridiculous ups and downs and it's all thanks to our fans that we've been able to attain such an opportunity. I sincerely thank our fans. And our members, who held on much better than I did. I've been able to stay strong thanks to those two. We'll keep knocking as hard as we can to open up more doors and possibilities.

[TRANS] 101219
Changmin RAY Magazine
Interview - Part 2


Part 1 Here

27) Where would you go on your first date?
I want to go to the amusement park
I’ve never had much of a chance to go, so it would be ideal. I want to take the roller coaster, but if she doesn’t want to then we won’t. Because we should be enjoying the amusement park together.

28) What would a girl do or say, that would make you feel happy?
I hope that she will call me.
When she has nightmares, she will call me. Although I may be sleeping by then, but if she calls me, it means that she trusts and relies on me a lot.

29) If you broke up, how would you deal with it?
This is rather difficult, I will need a long time to get over it.
Until time heals the problem, I will be very disillusioned. I will also not want to fall in love again. During that time, it’ll just get better, bit by bit.

30) What are you most interested in at the moment?
Fishing.
I want to go to the sea and try fishing properly. Taking a boat out to sea, casting my line…no one can bother me, and I can enjoy my own personal time, I really want to do that.

31) In relationships, you do dump (your partner), or do you get dumped?
I’ve been dumped once before.
That was my first relationship. During that time it was really….terrible!! (Laughs)

32) What is your ideal male image?
A man who walks the path of his own beliefs.
I want to be a man who will not be shaken by the people around me. Although the success or failure of the future may be uncertain, but I really want to become a man who can follow his own beliefs and move forward.

33) Actors that you look up to?
Won Bin, Kimura Takuya, Takeshi Kaneshiro

34) Which director do you want to work with?
Isao Yukisada.
I usually watch the romantic types of movies. I really like “Love Story.” In the middle of the world, calling for love, these kinds of romantic drama genres leave the greatest impressions.

35) Among the movies you’ve watched recently, which is your favourite?
Inception.
Also, Won Bin’s Korean movie “Ahjusshi.” Like “Léon”, it’s a show which even men will find extremely impressive.

36) What is the movie left the greatest impression in your mind?
Brokeback Mountain
It is a great love story, and the expressions of the main characters were intriguing. It is a excellent show that can shake and alter a person’s emotions.

37) What show moved you the most?
Gran Torino
It is a piece directed by Clint Eastwood, and it made me cry so hard I got a headache. And there is an Indian movie called BLACK. That was also a movie that can make you cry very hard.

38) What did you want to become when you were young?
Scientist or Radio Deejay

39) What profession would you like to try?
Radio Deejay and Sports Journalist
I’ve always wanted to be a deejay since my 3rd year in Elementary school. To be able to take a lot of shots of various sports representatives, being a sports journalist also interests me.

40) What is your dream now?
To build a loving family.
Although I think it might be very boring. (Laughs) Compared to earning a lot of money and becoming a rich person, the desire to have a loving family is stronger.

41) Do you like Tokyo?
I do.
It has a totally different feeling from Seoul. I’m used to living in Tokyo.

42) Why do you like Tokyo?
It feels like my own home.
It’s not just a country that is near to Korea anymore, but like my own home. The people around me have created a very comfortable atmosphere, which can be felt at Lives and the workplace.

43) Out of all the places that you have gone to so far, which left the deepest impression?
Paris.
You can virtually see no Korean streets, or Koreans, the feeling is very fulfilling. It was also the first time going to the country, so that’s probably why I felt like that. (Laughs)

44) Where do you want to go?
I want to go to New York.
Because I have never been there before, so I really want to go there. It is a key location for entertainment, so there is much to experience, and it seems like I can learn a lot of things.

45) If you could be reborn, who would you be?
Even if I were reborn, I still want to be me!

46) Do you have any stories of failure?
It may be a bit surprising, but no.

47) What is the happiest thing that has happened to you so far?
About 2 years after debut, moving to a new house with my family.

48) When do you feel the happiest now?
When I am eating!

49) What do you want most now?
Clothes, cars, family, love & friends. I want to take everything I have so far and make it bigger and better.

50) Finally, say something to everyone in Japan.
Through various activities, I want to make everyone smile! 2010 is a year that taught me a lot. In 2011, I hope that it will become an even better year. Through my songs and dances, I want to let the Japanese fans enjoy and feel happiness.
