[TRANS] 110928 Tohoshinki, First Album Since Restarting Activities Takes Top Spot On First Day

Popular Korean group Tohoshinki’s new album “TONE” has recorded sales of 105,00 on the first day, debuting at the top position in the Oricon daily rankings. This album exceeded the first day sales of their previous album “The Secret Code” (Total sales : 330,000 copies) which sold 83,000 copies (on first day) by 22,000 copies, and this is the first original album that has exceeded 100,000 copies in first day sales.

Their first album since restarting activities, “TONE” has 13 tracks, including their single “Why (Keep Your Head Down) and “Superstar.” The format of sale include two CD + DVD versions, and a CD only version, a total of three types. The CD only version includes “Somebody To Love -2011 Version-“ and has a total of 15 tracks.

So far, Tohoshinki has released 4 original albums, and 3 “best of” albums, with the “BEST SELECTION 2010”(Total Sales: 590,000 copies) which was released in February 2010 recorded at the number 1 spot of the weekly album rankings. With a good start, attention has been placed on whether this can be their second album, and first original album that takes the top spot (of the Oricon weekly rankings.)

(T/N: Although the reported release date for “TONE” is 28 September, it was already on sale by 27 September – which is why they took top spot on the day before their album was supposed to be released. )

[TRANS] 110929 Park Yoochun, The No. 1 Considerate Man Who All Fans Want To Marry

(T/N: This is an article from the Taiwanese press)

In the Korean drama “Miss Ripley” which is being aired on cable tv, Park Yoochun stands by female lead Lee Dae Hae’s side, an emotional character which has won the hearts of the female viewers. After watching his performance, females fans cannot help but cry “Such a perfect character, he’s too charming, I want to marry him!” In and outside of the drama, he shows a very considerate side, and in a recent poll on a Korean website, he was also voted as the “Male Celebrity Who Would Be The Best Agony Aunt” and he won by a large margin, followed by Lee Seung Gi and other artists.

Park Yoochun challenged acting for the first time last year, and produced good results. After “SungKyunKwan Scandal,” he received several awards, and in the Seoul Drama Awards this year, he beat Hyun Bin, winning the title of “Best Hallyu Actor,” receiving validation for his acting skills. With his English speaking skills, in “Miss Ripley” he plays the role of a young boss in a conglomerate, and in one scene, spoke English in a speech which lasted three minutes, showcasing his speaking abilities and leaving everyone both shocked and impressed.

As a member of JYJ, Park Yoochun is passionate about music. With fans all over the world, he flew to Thailand last week and attracted a crowd of over 3,000 fans at the airport. He said happily, “I came to Thailand during our concert tour, and during then, the fans’ enthusiasm. I’m really thankful that they are still showing me the same kind of support now.”

Another member of JYJ, Kim Jaejoong, has also embarked on his acting career. Currently, he is tirelessly shooting for the Korean drama “Protect the Boss,” and he previously mentioned that he had asked the busy Yoochun for advice on “how to endure not sleeping.”

[TRANS] 110928 JYJ Are Unable To Sell More Albums Because They’ve Sold Them All

50,000 copies are sold in two days since its release… More CDs to be produced as there aren’t enough in stock

JYJ’s first Korean album ‘In heaven’ has sold 50,000 copies in one day.

‘In heaven’ topped Hanteo Charts’ daily and live charts on the 28th and by 5p.m., it was recorded that JYJ sold over 50,000 copies of their new album.

These record-breaking sales were expected from the start. Orders flooded in from the 10th and they recorded pre-orders of 300,000 copies. Though the album’s distribution company is working at a fast pace to fill the orders that have been placed, it’s actually running low on albums to distribute.

This explosive reaction is also occurring online. All of the songs of the album, including ‘In heaven’, the title song by Kim Jaejoong, and the pre-released ‘Get Out’, ranked high on various music charts.

C-JeS Entertainment stated, “We are currently pushing the distribution company to fill the pre-orders,” and “We will soon begin printing an additional set of albums.”

[TRANS] 110928 In ‘Protect The Boss’, Kim Jaejoong Wears Sneakers That He Got As A Gift From Fans

JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong has become a hot topic for wearing sneakers that he received from fans in his drama.

Kim Jaejoong’s fanclub heroJJbar recently presented Kim Jaejoong, the cast and staff of SBS TV’s ‘Protect the Boss’ with gifts. One of the gifts was a pair of sneakers for the singer.

Kim Jaejoong wore these sneakers during an episode of ‘Protect the Boss’. Instead of wearing sponsored clothes like most actors do, Kim Jaejoong matched the sneakers with a pair of jeans and in his own way, thanked his fans for the gift.

Netizens who saw the photo of him wearing the sneakers said, “I’m touched to see him wearing the gift in the drama”, “He has such a warm heart”, “To see him making an effort to show his gratitude for the gift is great. He’s a caring person”, “Kim Jaejoong, you’re the best!”

[TRANS] 110928 A Counter Solely For JYJ’s ‘In Heaven’ Appears Yet Again, “And You Still Say They’re Unpopular?”

A ‘JYJ only’ counter has appeared yet again.

JYJ’s first Korean album ‘In heaven’ was released online on the 15th and was recently released offline on the 27th.

Hitting over 300,000 pre-orders, the album was met with an explosive response even before its release. Synnara Records further proved this immense popularity as they stated, ‘Due to the sudden influx of people entering our site, we have prepared a temporary page for buying JYJ’s new album’.

This isn’t the only thing that has happened though. A photo of a counter solely reserved for JYJ at an offline music store garnered much attention as soon as it was posted on an online community. At Kyobobook’s Hottracks, there is a counter with the words ‘JYJ Counter’ on it and the CDs can be seen stacked in boxes, ready to be bought.

The fact that there was a counter, as well as a CD display shelf, reserved for JYJ when the group released their first worldwide album ‘The Beginning’ last year is also becoming a hot topic.

Netizens who saw the photos said, “They’ve been deemed unpopular, but they have their own counter”, “Only those with that much power can have those things!”, “This is only the beginning, JYJ hwaiting!“, “I feel so proud. Let’s go buy our CDs”, and “Of course, it’s JYJ! JYJ are the kings these days!”

T/N: For those of you who don’t get the ‘unpopular’ reference, KBS stated that they had replaced JYJ with Girls’ Generation and f(x) during the Jeju debacle because JYJ were ‘not well known by the public’ and ‘unpopular’.
