Jakarta – JYJ’s Junsu successfully held a concert at JITEC, Mangga Dua Square, Jakarta, Saturday (6/16/2012). He was in Jakarta for the ‘XIA The 1st Asia Tour Concert Tarantallegra’.
The concert was supposed to begin at 7:00PM Western Indonesian Time. But until 8:00PM Western Indonesian Time, Junsu has not yet appeared on stage. The fans then repeatedly chanted his name “Kim Junsu”.
The awaited concert finally started out around 8:40PM Western Indonesia Time. The stage was suddenly filled with lights from fireworks, plus green laser highlights. Junsu was standing on stage with a dark blue suit and immediately sang the song ‘Breath’ and continued with ‘No Gain’.
Both songs were welcomed by the audience with hysterical screams. Especially in the second song, Junsu was dancing with two female dancers who was dressed sexily.
“How are you? I’m Xia. I’m pleased to meet you,” Junsu said in fluent Indonesian language without any ‘cheat sheet’. He also continued to bestow his warm smile. “The next song will make you fall asleep,” Junsu continued, translated by an interpreter. Then ‘Lullaby’ and ‘Intoxication’ were sung.
Junsu sang 17 songs live. Although he was sweating due to non-stop dancing, he looked so exhilarated.
‘Set Me Free’ was next on the playlist. Laser and blue lights were everywhere. The audiences were singing along. After changing his clothes into an all-white suit, he then sang a drama soundtrack from ‘Scent of Woman’ called ‘You are So Beautiful’. Again, the audiences were singing along as well. Festive!
The difference between Junsu’s concert with other Kpop concert is, the audiences were dominated by mature audiences, not teenage schoolgirls. Understandably, Junsu first debuted in 2003 thus his fans were more mature already.
“Are you happy? Happy? Thank you!” Junsu said as he continued laughing (t/n: he also said the sentence in Indonesian language). “Even though I sing here, I can’t believe that I’m standing in Indonesia. I’m so happy to be able to come here for the first time,” he continued.
The audiences hysterically screamed when Junsu said that he would grant 3 wishes. The interpreter then was helping him. Junsu had to do an ‘aegyo’ (t/n: he gave us his angel smile ^^). For a moment he acted cutely then shyly nodded.
The audiences went uncontrollably with the second request. They shouted together “Open your clothes! Open your clothes!” Unfortunately the request was ignored by the interpreter. Junsu ended up just shouting his trademark shout “Bambaya!”
Junsu looked so sweet. He couldn’t stop smiling and laughing, enjoying his performances. The fans firmly united chanting “Saranghae! Saranghae!” (I love you in Korean language).
‘Even Though You Already Know’ and ‘Turn Around and Around’ was then sung. Ocean of red light sticks were swaying back.
‘The Last Dance’ from Junsu’s musical ‘Elizabeth’ was next performed. Of course with a dazzling musical style. The dancers wore masks and black lace robe. The screen behind the stage displaying Big Ben in the middle of full moon.
This segment seemed to show Junsu as a successful musical actor. Next he sang the song ‘I am, I am Music’ from the musical that he was also staring ‘Tears of Heaven’. Junsu looked so engrossed in his performance.
‘Why Don’t You Love Me’ from musical ‘Mozart’ took over the stage. The screen behind displaying image of a castle complete with its chandeliers that adding a melancholy atmosphere. Not to mention Junsu’s vocal quality which is fit and extraordinary. It felt like watching a real musical. Good job, Junsu!
Intro of Tarantallegra! was finally heaved, welcoming with fireworks explosion and fire that burst from the edge of stage. Junsu’s spell was successful, the audiences continued to shout fan-chants. Tarantallegra!
Tired. Junsu who was sweating sat for a few minutes in red sofa that suddenly appeared in front of the stage. He just sat motionless without saying anything. Impatient audiences chanted his name repeatedly “Kim Junsu! Kim Junsu!”.
Junsu stood right in front of the stage. Again fireworks were bursting and lasers were dancing. ‘Fever’, ‘Too Love’, and ‘Mission’ became the next songs. The concert was almost over. Junsu’s dancing was even more energetic and vibrant.
Junsu changed his clothes for about 6 times. At the end, he wore a shirt written ‘XIA The 1st Asia Tour Concert Tarantallegra’ combined with gold pants and calf-length boots. He sat in a high chair and sang ‘I Don’t Like Love’ and ‘The Tree Covered The Dew’.
While he sang, Junsu was taking a plushie given by an audience in the front row. Confetti was scattered like snow. ‘Fallen Leaves’ was closed with clapping from the audiences and Junsu bowed to bid goodbye. “Thank you!” he ended, forming a heart shape with his both hands.
9 years of existence in Korean music world really made Junsu able to prove his quality. Without hydraulic stage or excessive special effects, Junsu’s performances were still incredibly stunning. Fans went out with satisfaction. See you again, Junsu!

Just thrilling to imagine it. THANK YOU, Indonesian fans for giving Junsu such a warm and passionate welcome!!
I mean, look at the variety in the songs. What an impressive set list. I am amazed about his stamina, I heard people trying to do a dance cover for Tarantallegra, can’t even keep up and need to do several shots. Yet, Junsu not only does the entire song without stopping, he performs back to back dance heavy numbers, while singing live and on key. He is the real deal. He is in excellent shape and incredibly fit. Wow.
Wow! What an amazing range of songs he sang! Lucky audience were treated to his musical numbers too. And haven’t heard him sing live “Too Love” in a long time! What incredible stamina and showmanship he has! A real treat for fans who could make it, that’s for sure. I Don’t Like Love and Tree Covered With Dew are my favorites in his new album apart from the title track. Must’ve been so moving to hear them live.
this article has a few mistake
like I am, I am Music is also from Mozart, not Tears of Heaven.. and he didn’t sing Too Love ^^ it’s just a background song of a video. I was there <3
I can only imagine the immense pleasure Junsu experienced being so royally received. What you put out, you get back. The love you put out Junsu, you got back.
Really awesome, even I got annoyed cause 1 hour late, this is really worthed, you will regret if you never see him sing in live,
OMG in his camus he never know about lipsync, my friends now become his new fans, his performance really awesome!!!
It’s feel like a dream
(Note: sorry for my grammer)
Good job oppa
Last night you look so cool..
I’ll wait you come here again ˆ⌣ˆb
I love you
he should totally come to indonesia again next year with his hyungs v(￣∇￣)
Congrats!!! really wish he come again next time, either as soloist or group ^
There was additional VTR that I didn’t see in Seoul/Bangkok fancams or they didn’t record it. The VTR was about Junsu in JYJ tour to his own Asia tour. The background song was I Can Soar.
got goosebumps by reading this, his concert was amazingly amazing! oh and he promised that he would be back to jakarta! i really hope that he will bring jaejoong & yoochun along next time ;D
His greetings in Bahasa (Indonesian) was flawless. We almost didn’t hear his Korean accent. And he learned to say coconut tree in Bahasa : Pohon Kelapa. Such a cutie…
OMG …… that Concert WAS the BEST concert i ever seen .. OMG Junsu in real is just OMG .. so damn handsome …… his voice was just heaven ,,, OMG ,, i still cant believe that last night i could hear and see JUNsu live ,,, OMG ……OMG ,,, finally one of my dream come true .. seriously ,, 17 songs without any lipsync ,,,,,, JUNSU …………. you make me proud more and more become Xiahpwas and JYJ stan ,, please keep your promise to comeback soon ,, Please come soon as JYJ here in jakarta ,, Jakarta really Loves u ,,,,,,,LOve you ………
Well done Junsu! It looks beautiful~
I am still in denial, i dont want last night miracle to end :’( Junsu was so close, so real, so beautiful, so REAL, i was in daze the whole time.
No ammount of DVDs and Fancams can do justice to his performances, because his mere presence is simply magical :””( dont ever think watching Junsu live will make u satisfied, it just makes u craving for more!
Junsu, i LOVE u so much, i cant fathom it myself >< Thank You, last nite really feels like miracle! Thank you for the major highlight when u caught me mouthing lyrics WCYLM and ur smile grew wider at it *CRIES*
Fans here seem not really interested in Musical, i hardly heard audience sang along to those songs, and the article got it wrong about I am Music -___-
Feeling sorry towards Junsu for so many things :'(
i am one the fans who was totally aware of his musical numbers becuz i saw them on youtube back then… i just dunno know the lyrics
but i really enjoyed it becuz personally i think these are one of the best moments in his concert….it shows how mature n passionate he is as an artist…. he should totally do more musicals in the future^^
I am glad u enjoy it
i listen to those more than i listen to tarantallegra album.
It was just after half way of “The Last Dance”, i heard a fan behind me exclaimed that she just realised it was a song of Eli musical -____- , and i was like “HOW CAN DONT KNOW MAJIMAK CHUM?!” inwardly.
And… i am personally really into Junsu’s musical stuffs
i love musicals since i was a kid. when i heard that the 1st Asia Tour setlist including the musical numbers , it’s instantly become my strongest motivation to come to this concert. n i regret nothing
Ahhh Juliang~~ and many more Indonesian fans~~~ Please share you fanaccounts here in JYJ3 <33 pretty please? and and surely? fancams? soo lucky u guys…
“9 years of existence in Korean music world really made Junsu able to prove his quality. Without hydraulic stage or excessive special effects, Junsu’s performances were still incredibly stunning.”
We,fans, have seen enough evidences of that statement. However, reading positive Comments about it Always makes me feel warm. He must also be feeling happy knowing that ppl recognize his abilities, rather than admiring only his look. Our Junsu is loved =))
He simply awesome! No fancam can justice him!
it was one of the best concert i’ve ever been in my entire lifeヽ(＝￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣∇￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣＝)ﾉにゃ♪ n i am truly touched seeing his genuine smiles. it tells us how he really enjoyed n had so much fun doing this concert for us.
he was totally fit n has great stamina. i feel so proud of junsu. with all the obstacles he has been trough with JYJ all these years, he manage to deliver fantastic performances.
how i feel about Junsu’s 1st Asia Tour concert is beyond words….i am still having the euphoria from last nite…ah the long await has become dreams come true girlzzzz….
“Next he sang the song ‘I am, I am Music’ from the musical that he was also staring ‘Tears of Heaven’. Junsu looked so engrossed in his performance.” => This song “I am Music” is one of the songs in “Mozart” muscial not “Tears of Heaven” Please edit the article rightly
Thanks. ^^

Oh great job Junsu!!!!
He’s so FREAKIN DAMN INCREDIBLE HOT CUTENESS OVERLOAD..!!!!
OH MY GOD SUN!!!! and I couldn’t believe that I attended the greatest concert ever!!
I told you who haven’t seen his concert, It’s totally worth it!! You must see it by yourself live at least once in your life!!!
How did the ticket selling go?
Were there many emty seats?
Have you attented other kpopstar concerts?
I wonder are they as good as junsu i woder,because till now i hv only been to jyj concert in Berlin
Actually i am not planning to go to others concert kekeke
I don’t know the amount of the ticket selling exactly.. Some said that it was only 2500 fans attended it.. but I could tell that the JITEC was full with fans roaring and screaming.. eventhough the concert was delayed until 2 hours, we really really didn’t regret it!!
Don’t compare him with the other singer, because he had no chance to promote his album or songs freely like them..
But, eventhough he never promoting or having any activity in Indonesia before, he managed to attracted 2500 fans in his first show here.. I have watched 2PM concert before (it was also held in JITEC), but still I love Junsu’s performances 1000 more. *sorry, no offense to 2PM’ fans*
I watched him from the Festival section.. and I’m telling you YOU WON’T REGRET WATCHED KIM JUNSU’s FERFORMANCES.
even some Indonesian’s boyband attended it.. They said that they are his fans.. Seems like Junsu had many fanboy here, in Indonesia.. ^^
Kekekekeke..
you must go to his concert, Nina.. I’m telling you.. you won’t regret it.. Trust me.. ^^
yes, indeed, i was so happy that many fanboys there…
and i still believe its more than 2,500. i was sitting in the back area (3 lines in the front), so i can see whole area, there are many many empty seats, but i believe its 85%-90% full, so its around 4,000 attendees. and yes, the promotion for this concert arent as many as for, lets say SuJu. i havent even seen any tv promotions. even after the presscon. not even from TopKPop tv show, they seems more often mentioned Mblaq concert than Junsu’s. . and the billboard just put 2 weeks before the concerts. i was worried it would only 70% full. but after i saw the venue n saw so many people, i know its gonna be more than only 70% =)
Junsu’s concert is my first! JYJ please hold one soon!! I am retiring from kpop soon, but I won’t til I see them three together!! PLEASE!! I am getting too old for all this!!!
Though I can die without regrets now… after seeing Junsu live. He is SO damn… inhuman. Not human.
Nooooo.. don’t retire yet.. there are many JYJ concerts that we’ll attend.. either Junsu as a solo or as a group..
Hehehehe,, anyway.. are you an indonesian fans too? where do you watch him last night? festival? silver? gold? or platinum?
Empty
“The next song will make you fall asleep,” Junsu continued, translated by an interpreter. Then ‘Lullaby’
Don’t say that Junchan. With those overloaded sexy dance, this song isn’t suitable to be a “lullaby”.
I knew junsu would totally be spectacular; he always gives his best, and he’s just warming up~^^
damn the interpreter!!! i bet junsu’ll consider takin off his clothes ^^ especially if he realise most of us are mature adults now. kuikuikui
Wait, were u there too last nite?!
But, we have to have some mercy to ahjummas there, if Junsu took off his clothes they probably reluctant to come back home to their husband XD
haha no i wasnt ^^ but i can hope for some fancams if he really do so xD
(*sorry no offence) but i tink the interpreter did a wise decision of not translating “Take of the clothes” to Junsu~
Considering abt the Indonesian’s sensitivity~ (*U wldnt want Junsu to be banned & blacklisted from performing in Indonesia in future, ryte?
oh..yeah. like the ban on lady gaga, rite? anyway, i’m just saying that jokingly ^^
he said that audiences make him happy and promise will comeback in jakarta .. then all of the audiences said JYJ … JYJ .. JYJ .. JYJ … JYJ …. ,, i will never ever ever forget that moment ,,,
O_O
sigh~
how i wish i could watched his concert
and i missed his concert report in TransTV (T________T)
any way this review is so great even thefenomenal 3 days concert don’t get reviewed in detik
(sorry, my grammar is bad)
Are u sure? it’s just very unlikely any media would miss to report on u-know-that-boyband’s concert and all its tidbits, they are HUGE here :/
i’ve checked it and there was none in detik . com
they report everything about the tickets sale but not about their performance
apparently i was wrong, sorry(guess i used the wrong keywords)*bow*
there was a lot reports about them, but still this report is great because the reporter acknowledge junsu’s ability and quality as a performer
just by reading this article…again i feel the emotion take over me once again and make my eyes glassy with tears… really 9 years of waiting to see all of them by looking at Junsu only, can’t hold my tears from falling (and yes when fallen leaves sang at the last performance i was crying like a baby n_n”). what a GREAT performance he gave makes me proud to become family of JYJ…. hope Junsu loves music more and won’t stop in doing so (not to forget with other his brother Jaejong and Yuchuuunn!!!) and i do hope that other fans will get the same chance of seeing him like me. me and most of the audience took around 30 minutes (and yes still many fans just standing in front of the stage or sit down in groups) after the show ended to walk from festival area went back home (cause it feels like we’re dreaming of this). BIG hug to you all…and sorry for the long reply hehe
cant believe i was there last night. i wasnt a crazily fanatic fan ever since i was young, so i rarely thought of watching any concerts from my fave singers before, even when i watched his, its because my nieces wanted to go, and i promised their parents i’ll go with them. but i will never never never regretted it.
he really is a true performer. he sang n dance all songs live. even we fans felt tired n a sore throat after yelling so much, but he sang and dance so powerfully over all the songs. the concert indeed felt so fast. i was enjoying every sec in it. and when he sang Last Dance, I am Music (the writer made mistake, its from Mozart, not TOH) and Why Cant You Love Me. i especially waited for hi Mozart performances, since 2 of the songs are my fave songs from his musical. and i was almost in tears when he sang Why Cant You Love Me (cant really cried since i was with my nieces n they will tease me forever if i did, lol).
the concert was way out of this world. and i have to say i am suprised to see that a new Indonesia Promotour who just have this concert as their 1st project able to do such a great job. aside from almost 2 hours delay, their hardwork was amazing. the lighting, lasers effects, the LCD background, the sound system were so AMAZING!! its so cool!! esp the sound system. its so smooth with no disturbance at all, the volume is just right and didnt make our ears hurt.
Gosh, last time was amazing. seeing him singing dancing after all the fancams n Taran MV werent do any justice, this man trully a great performer. his voice never faltered, out of range, or even lost its quality. it was so smooth from the very beginning. if i wasnt in the concert of didnt know him, i would think it was a recording played in the background while he was just danced. but i know better n this just make me respect n amazed of him. i cant even counted how many times me n people around me (even a not really fan like one of my niece) keep saying that ‘crazy!!! his voice is just amazing’. she even keep saying that he inded sang live since we can hear his breath sound after he finished a dance song (but continue to dance powerfully in the next songs). i cant count how many times i almost closed my eyes to emerged in his beautiful voice, before i cacthed myself n stopmyself, since i didnt want to miss anything. and he indeed look really happy dancing n singing there. his gaze, happy smiles, teased n sexy smiles… gosh this man really born to sing n dance, he made it looked so easy, just like breathing..
i was feeling a bit regretful since i didnt take any pics of fancams. but from the very beginning i decided to just enjoy myself watching the entire concert. fancams will soon appear in youtube, lol..
wow, this almost like a fanacc, lol.. over all i agree with the writer, Junsu Indonesian Concert is simply AMAZING!!!
Reblogged this on dreamalexia.
There were some “masters” and fans with good seats and skill to hiding huge cam last night, i believe fancams will be flooding shortly for the whole concert
but, yeah, no topless!su 
but i was serious about the ahjummas,
their presence really noticeable last night XD
I just read a very nice fanacc around, while my own fanacc is reserved for myself because i kept went on and on mentioning beautiful, magical, and surreal. lol. I still cant believe it
;____;
He did do the ‘sexy test’ that the host and interpreter requested… like shaking and rocking his hips. O.O
oh my hw i wsh i hd bin der…wat a lst for me..
but im hapi after readng dis artcle..
junsu is trully a master of prfction…
congraaaaats..n rest wel.:-)
p.s.. frm wat i red.it was not ful..does any one knw d capacity of d venue..hw i wsh it was ful house…

Indeed, another concert that lives up to its expectation of a XIA JUNSU concert!! Congratulations, JunSu.. very proud of you!
