[NEWS] 120613 Thousands of JYJ fans from Japan to visit Korea
Over 7,000 Japanese K-pop fans will visit South Korea late June to attend an event held by boy-band JYJ, its agency said Wednesday.
Cjes Entertainment said the 2012 JYJ Membership Week will host 15,000 Korean fans along with 7,024 Japanese fans that will visit Korea to attend the large-scale fan event.
“No other Hallyu star has been able to gather such a huge flock of fans in a single event,” claimed the agency. It alleged the influx of Japanese fans were “the largest in scale since the foundation of the country” although this claim was not officially validated.
Hallyu, which means the Korean wave, refers to the current popularity boom for Korean pop culture among Japan, China, and Southeast Asian countries.
JYJ Membership Week, to be held from June 28 through July 1 in Seoul, will feature exhibitions that will showcase various images of the boy-band. It will also present a chance for fans to meet JYJ in person.

[NEWS] 7,000 Japanese Flying Over for JYJ’s Fan Meeting in Seoul
Some 7,000 Japanese fans of JYJ will visit Korea to attend a special “membership” event held by the three-member boy band in Seoul for four days from June 28. This is just short of the daily average of 8,000 tourists from the island country who arrive here, indicating the huge level of interest the fan meeting has attracted.
In a press release on Wednesday, JYJ’s agency C-Jes Entertainment said, “Some 15,000 Korean fans and 7,024 Japanese fans will attend the event, dubbed the ’2012 JYJ Membership Week,’ which will take place at Seoul Trade Exhibition and Convention Center in southern Seoul.”
They will depart from 14 airports, including Tokyo’s Narita and Haneda and Osaka’s Kansai, on 116 flights on June 28, and will arrive in Seoul via Incheon and Gimpo.
The event will take place in a 6,600 sq. m. hall featuring photographic and video-based exhibitions of the band. Fans will also be able to shake hands with virtual 3D images of the JYJ members. On the third and fourth days, the band will personally meet fans in the exhibition hall.
The agency said this is a private event for paying members of the band’s Korean and Japanese fan clubs. Koreans pay an annual fee of W15,000 (US$1=W1,168) and Japanese W50,000. All participants were chosen by a random draw, the agency added.
The agency has booked 3,500 hotel rooms in Seoul, Incheon and Suwon and arranged 250 buses to accommodate the Japanese fans, it said.
“The news that 7,000 foreign fans are visiting Korea at once to meet a single group adds more momentum to the tourist boom resulting from the Korean Wave,” said Kim Kyung-sook, vice president of the Tourism Sciences Society of Korea.
