Kim Junsu’s profile.
The story is not about Junsu appearing in the workroom who had underwent transformation beyond imagination with his hair style. Not only in front of the camera, throughout the entire interview process Kim Junsu clearly and specifically told us what he wanted. He debuted 8 years ago, even though from the beginning until now, he was a celebrity every moment, but now he has changed to where he is no longer hesitant or scared about his choices, so the more mature him, his story now is more candid and more interesting than any other time. He successfully completed the Asia tour with his first solo [[TARANTALLEGRA]] , and before the world tour begins, we met with Kim Junsu.
In the February interview, you predicted the winning team of the European cup 2012, after considering for 3 minutes, you shouted “Spain!” Will it really be like your prediction? Will you watch the competition this week?
If it happens during the time of a concert abroad, then I would not watch it. If I have schedule from early in the morning, I wouldn’t be able to watch it. I would record it to watch. In actuality before the final round, I would go with the crowd. In my heart I will support Italy, but I had originally looked out for Spain. (laugh)
So you would record the midnight matches and watch later, what about when you are free?
We don’t usually have free time, I wouldn’t put aside the schedule from the company and not think about it, because I would get the information beforehand, and then follow it through. Therefore I can take care of my mood, and schedule some time for breaks, so in this way makes it more relaxed for me to live my life.
Your 1st SOLO album [[TARANTALLEGRA]] went on sale in May, and started your Asia tour with Seoul, Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan and China, how does it feel now that you are entering the final phase?
When my first SOLO album was released, I was a little afraid, but when I started doing concerts, that concern was gone, and I have gotten more confidence, so in the future release of my albums, the direction can be clearly planned out with expectations.
You should be able to feel the expected album. Even though the album contains songs of all genre, but is there a consistency of Junsu’s style?
It was initially a target to collect a diversity of genres. R&B with the slow rhythm is for the people who likes to hear me sing ballad songs so I recorded ballads. But the title song I want to use a song I can perform. A lot of people believed that my suitable title song should be ballads, so I want to go above expectations and that’s when I can make the clearest judgment. Ballads appeared a lot in the SOLO songs and they have been sung from TVXQ to JYJ activities, so this time for my title song’s style I want to use ‘performance’.
So the result is “TARANTALLEGRA”, after hearing this I felt curious, did this song have a melody or an image first?
Image, there’s no question that it’s the image. In the past when I composed “Xiahtic” and “Intoxication”, it was the dance first. Until now if you hear the name you would want to dance, you wouldn’t even need the melody, but “TARANTALLEGRA” had the image first, then the dance, then the melody. Actually at that time, there were a lot of dance songs that I composed, whether it’s American styled rap or R&B, or TVXQ era’s “rising sun” kind of military songs. But this time I want to try moving away from all those kind of styles. At that time I was influenced by [[Elisabeth]]. The meaning of “death” adds more facets to the impression of Tod, fitting well with this album, and music of that region, the path, the style, the dance… Everything is restarting.
So not talking about the music, the new album’s visual aspect is a very intense style, when you said you want to have this kind of album, what were the reactions of people around you?
In the beginning they were worried, honestly the intense style can’t be seen by the naked eyes, even though “oh, so intense” this kind of shocked reaction is there, but to connect that part with very a favorable impression of the stage, to grasp it in the degree is hard. But, compared to other Korean singers to be able to go this intense style is because right now I can’t appear on any TV activities. Um…… I should say I’m not participating. Right now (laugh) because it’s already such a situation, I would like to try some diverse shocking image. One would need to be assessed if it were to be broadcasted, and if it was just a little overboard then it would be banned, because anyway right now it’s only uploaded on YouTube or in blogs, so I want to present something I want to do. Because of this, right now the range of music I can make, compared to getting a favorable reaction, I want to have more fear and horror. Even if it gets bad comments, I think telling everyone what I want to do is more important. Compared to horror, poison is more meaningless. Fortunately the company incorporated my opinions, and gave me support and cooperation to the maximum.
In place of the market focusing on TV you are turning towards the market focusing on CDs, how do you feel about the change?
So from now on I will always challenge new things. Until I’m lost in all of it or receive criticisms from the crowd. Of course, even though it is our responsibility to find our answers in the appropriate place, but we will continue to work hard and bring to everyone a different side of us.
This time’s album is not only from the identity of a solo singer, but to some degree it’s more like a solo performer.
When I was little I was often asked “do you like to dance more or do you like to sing more?”. Actually I would not put singing in the first place, I also like dancing at the same time. Of course, during group activities we have different responsibilities, so compared to performing my focus is on singing. Even though I also like singing, but this is afterall my solo stage, so I want to use this time to express with music and adding performing that’s consistent with it. In reality, in the early production stage of Tarantallegra, everyone were surprised. Because the recording is live mix, without the instruments, so the reaction was very bland. (laugh) But I begged my manager to believe me this once, “If we add the MV then it’ll be alright, this song is not just for listening” I convinced him like that. Even though it is for special promotion, but releasing MV before the audio has this reason included.
This MV has strong beat and it also has a fantasy concept to complete the image.
For the MV there was a lot of pressure. The dance as long as I dance well it’s alright, but to make the visual image is not as easy as me just wanting it. From the beginning there were some filming angle problems. For an example, when I dance I really dislike the camera moving. Honestly, that’s the tricks for people who can’t dance, so it distracts the focus. The scene and angle change is okay, but when the camera shakes, that moment you would not see the dance and overlook it. But director Lay really did good capturing the footage. The company trusted in me and invested 5 million (2.8 RMB or about $438460.4) with no concern of the outcome even if it’s going to be unsatisfied.
About the song “Tarantallegra”, someone commented that “hearing this song would make you unconsciously start dancing”, as a magical song, in the MV what kind of existence did you want to convey?
I don’t want people to feel like I’m God. But to portray neither male nor female, a more gender neutral existence. So the makeup was more feminine, the hairstyle also challenges femininity. Certainly, this has to thank . Not only this time, my music in the future will also be influenced by the musical. Tarantallegra came from the inspiration from the “Death” in to have the fantasy and mysterious image.
From debuting as an artist that didn’t put much thought into the visual aspect, to now maturing to challenge such an elegant style, I’m curious as to how your thoughts change.
Honestly as an idol I’m not one who cared about self management. (laugh) I’m that way not because I want to deliberately ruin my image, but it’s more because as a singer should express through his or her singing, dancing, and ability. What if the camera was a little closer, I wouldn’t know. During the past 3 years with the relaxed activities that are almost all professional that even my hair is usually the same. But taking on the role of “Death”, so I thought I should loose some weight. I want to express beyond gender and neutral-gender feeling, but I looked rather round. (laugh) So to be consistent with the role I started losing weight, even the fans that liked me before also like how I became after the change. So judging from that, even though as a singer singing is most important, but I can’t overlook the reality that the fashion and visual aspect that may be preferential to the public.
Thinking carefully, even though you released your solo album after debuting for 8 years, it feels a little late, but at the same time it seems like it’s also because only until now you can produce such an album.
No matter what this is music I want to produce, everything is as I understood it, it was produced according to my ideas, and for that I am very grateful.
When you first decided on the title song, and started practicing after receiving the notification.
The title song is sang according to how the director wanted it, but of course the mv and everything is different from how it was decided before, I think this is good. Ah, there is one thing we were able to decide on, hairstyle. (laugh)
So many times you have said “I want to do something that’s me”, in the end because it was not decided based on “what was like me” but doing what you want to do and express it, so now you have your own style.
Yes. Of course if I just did what I want to do, following one path, is not okay, later I want to try styles that people will accept.
Have you ever thought of trying something completely different kind of performance?
One day I want to be in a musical theater to hold a month long concert. Need to be well prepared, not only my music, but popular music, and the musical songs I didn’t sing in my concerts needs to be sang, not dancing but perform with a live band. No fancy gimmicks, just songs filling 2 hours. If i can have this kind of concert it would be great.
What you want becomes more and more clear, and to this point, you won’t be hesitant during a discussion. Doing what you choose to do and taking the responsibility, is this the difference between an idol and artist?
So, actually it started with this album, my personality slowly changed. Originally I’m someone that would never say “dislike”. It’s better to just not talk. But right now I know I can’t hide like that, or else I can’t produce good works and have good appearance. Of course with not talking, it would give a nice good image that would not be scolded, but if I did that I would never get the 100% I want for this album. For example, even though is not good, but editing it a little would become better, because of that moment, someone needs to stay up overnight a few nights. Like this kind of situation, the me before would never open my mouth to ask for it, but to do well for that person too. I want perfect professional ideals, even though it would make us tired, even if I get scolded, I cannot not say it. The important part is saying it clearly, properly convince that person so the person responsible will not be angry. As an artist would feel that is the right direction. No matter if it will succeed or not, I understood that making a decision after I understood everything and when when I make the decision without understanding anything would result in very different outcomes.
I heard that you find it troublesome to match clothings in the past, so you would buy the entire outfit from the mannequin on display (laugh)
Even so, I don’t really like to buy clothes, but when everyone say I have to buy clothes, I would sometimes buy some. But starting from last fall, I started shopping a lot, before at the airport I wouldn’t go to any of the stores, but now I would go often. Because first of all I believe that as a singer working hard for the fans is a good feedback. Even though there is a sense of obligation, but I never thought of this as “work”, but as an attitude I should have as an artist, no matter what is a charismatic performance. Actually this is something I would never do with my original personality, look at this, I did my nails…… (laugh)
But, if you have your nails done once it’s like you are poisoned, isn’t that right? (laugh)
Yes. It’s like eating habits changed, because if I don’t do it it feels really weird. Actually, because this kind of style, some of the overseas fans would think the main character in “TARANTALLEGRA” is not me. Some would say “so handsome, is he ‘GAY’?” (laugh) Even though I’m not “GAY” but I like hearing this kind of comment. As long as I can show everyone a different side, no matter if am “GAY” or not, as an artist, I feel like this definitely the main reason that will add more points to me.
On one hand, on the stage you can be someone completely different from your usual self, and on the other hand, how does it feel to stand on the solo stage as XIA?
When filming the MV, I kept thinking being part of the musical was a very good choice. Compare to before when I only wanted everyone to see my handsome image in front of the camera and lip-sync, I am different now. My interpretation and expressions are better. I participate in musicals is not only because I like musicals, but because being part of the musical helps me in improving myself.
Singer, especially a male singer with charm coexisting with success, finally decided on expression and mastery of the stage. I saw your performance in Seoul, I felt that you as an individual singer has full presence. Very different from group activities, it seems as you gained experience as the a god character on stage in a musical helped you mature.
Of course, musical is not just one person, but everyone working together, but I learned a lot in the courage aspect. On stage as long as you are confident, no matter how not good you are you would still be good, but if you are very good but not confident you would look awkward. Of course I’m not saying how good I am, but when I stand on stage it will not look empty, so I gained this level of confidence. (laugh) Even like this I still feel nervous. When it was group activities, during a concert, when we have solo activities, the members could take turn to rest. But this 2 hours I had to complete on my own, from distributing physical strength to TALKSHOW it’s really not a joke. Adding that this is an album with artistic appeal at the center, so there is a lot of dance music, and cloth needs to be changed with the music, plus need to digest singing the songs live and etc., there’s a lot of responsibility……. but no matter what, I worked hard to get it down. (laugh)
Watching “TARANTALLEGRA” live dance stage, the distinguishing part is different from the activities of recent idol groups or singers, coupled with a high degree of completion of the stage presence, thinking about so many people that didn’t get to see this there is some pity.
Every time I dance to “Tarantallegra” I would think if I could dance to this once on TV it would be so good, every time I think of this I would fee pity. It’s not that I want to be number one, it’s just that I feel that about what I want to perform something can maybe done through the stage. Actually, because of this I want to make a MV that could be replace TV broadcast.
At the concert, the “INTOXICATION” stage was what left the deepest impression for me. Using 2 dancers and a big mirror for the interpretation of the stage, maximizing the charisma of the stage. How did this idea come about?
Actually that mirror was hurriedly placed in 2 days before the concert. “Intoxication” stage is using the previous group dance and made better. Just then the dance director Zeiri said we should have 2 dancers on stage, so we thought doing it this way would be better. Also, need to reflect from the tower, so the practice room only had one light on, at that time I had this idea. So I suddenly had the suggestion “what if we put a mirror on stage?” when I sad this I felt the expression change of the performers. They say there isn’t a lot of time, no, so I begged saying “we can, please do it for me, please.” Actually i knew doing this would be hard, but as an artist I can’t easily give up things to express myself. I even know that if this thing is spread I could be condemned as “unreasonable artist”. (laugh) In the end what was touching was when they actually did it for me, using the mirror to let the audience see the front, back and all different angles of the dance, my mood was really good.
Actually the dance in “Tarantallegra”, adding the intense dances of “set me free” “mission” and others and live performance you can digest it all, so you are that kind of person through practice hard dances, to make it your own, and finding fun in it?
Oh~ that’s interesting. In the beginning, if there’s something I can’t think of then the dance wouldn’t come out, I don’t know from what moment I was beginning to be not have to think and my body would be able to respond with dance moves. Actually doing the “Tarantallegra” tour, it gradually becomes easier. The musical too, my body could perfectly digest it and still could continuously update, new facial expressions, new body language, and other areas that are very interesting.
Do you dance when you are not in the practice room or the stage?
A lot of times I would start dancing when I’m writing music. After writing 8 lines (or 8 counts) i would begin dancing, and it’s not being forced to dance, also I don’t even know how I would start dancing to they rhythm. At this time I would feel “ah~ looks like this song is about done’, and then I would add modifications. in situations like this I already made about 100 songs.
Giving audience 3 wishes during “genie time”, every time they would ask for the “Angel Xia” expression, but every time you would be shy, what makes you shy?
Ah~If you ask me suddenly to do it, it’s not that I don’t like it, it’s very interesting, very good. As long as it’s at concert I can continue doing it from now on. Because the people that will see are all my fans, so it doesn’t matter. But at a “public area” or “external event”, or “congress meeting” to perform “angel Xia” I would feel like I’m going to be crazy soon. (laugh) Doing this (“angel Xia”) in front of dads holding their kids on their necks, as a man to man I would feel embarrassed. I’m already 25 years old (sigh).
This time Indonesia is in your Asia Tour, I heard it’s your first time going, I felt very surprised~
I’m surprised too. I never been there so I felt that was weird. Actually before there were many times we talked about going to Indonesia, but every time because of certain reasons I couldn’t go, I felt really regretful. This time for my solo concert I took the opportunity to feel the new emotions. So I came to this foreign country by myself, but having so many people come to support me I am very grateful. On the other hand I’m sorry I only came now, but I still have a lot of beautiful memories.
If you could go to Indonesia again, do you you have anything you want to do?
This time I was at the hotel, thus didn’t have time to taste the delicious food in Indonesia, next time I want to taste the delicious food there. I also heard the country has a lot of resorts, so next time I want to find some beautiful resorts. I have a lot of fantasies about the ocean, blue sky and coconut trees, so I want to go somewhere like that.

hehe.. junsu begging staff to get mirror in his performance. aigoo.. who can say no when see jun-chan begging-whining about what he want. hehe.
yoochun was defeated at adidas store last south america tour. hahahaha ^^
WHAT YOU WANT SAY?
That was my exact imagine of JS whining. Even Jerry would fall for it.
JS’s whining always works on his hyung. I never thought, Jerry would fall for it too. You amuses me, Junsu.
JS’s face of wanting the adidas shoes.
YC: okay.
JS; hyung don’t go.Don’t leave me! (Shouting to JJ as he was walking out of the room and JS was lying on the couch)
JJ walked back into the room and hugged JS.
This info was from Hayato.
Hayato also said YC piggybacked JS in Japan, how I’d love to see it.
What a baby…he’s the JYJ maknae after all.
Ah.. whining? lol. I’m imagining him being professional and standing up and not backing down for what he want…politely and responsibly.
Junsu’s a professional singer that has become even more mature by experience. And i love that about him.
I love your comment! I think fans have to stop thinking of him as the baby of the group because obviously he has grown up from the cutie-pie to the mature and confident young man that he now is. I love how he tries to balance pleasing fans and giving them what they like, with going ahead and following his heart. No longer the people-pleaser, but confident and assertive while retaining a humble spirit. This is what separates the true artist from the idol.
awww I’d really love to watch their daily lives as JYJ again… those three are the cutest guys on earth!!
he mentions Indonesia…!~ ^^ *proud*
mention and talking about Indonesia .. Junsu .. we never ever forget your promise to back in Indonesia …
Come to Indonesia again please :’( I miss you baby :-*:-*:-*
yessss junsu!! you should totally come back to indonesia. we miss you baby
OMG! 2 questions abt Indonesia. Thank you,Junsu!
Thank you admin.
But where is the part of Steve Jobs? Hmmm…
At the concert, the “INTOXICATION” stage was what left the deepest impression for me. Using 2 dancers and a big mirror for the interpretation of the stage, maximizing the charisma of the stage. >>>>THIS
junsu i totally approved this concept!!♡＾▽＾♡ this mirror concept makes the “intoxication” dance become million times sexier than the original performance. i got major noose bleed watching thisXD

Junsu is definitely more than an idol he is a true and very talented artist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is so above the idol title. I am so impressed with Junsu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m proud of Junsu. And this interview made me love him even more. I love how he now have grown to be a fully mature and responsible artist. This interview showcase that side of him. Fans should really stop babying him. I feel so much repect for him to see that.
Parts that i love and love and love:

ah so proud…our junsu is all grown up. he is no longer a mere idol.
he knows what he wants n not afraid to express his artistic side.
sexy/mature/multi-talented/genuine/passionate artist. that’s Xia Junsu.
admins, the trans for this has lots of errors and they omitted some questions.
After reading this interview, Junsu, you prove to me that you are now an ultra powerful self driven F22 Raptor.
R&B with the slow rhythm is for the people who likes to hear me sing ballad songs so I recorded ballads. But the title song I want to use a song I can perform. A lot of people believed that my suitable title song should be ballads, so I want to go above expectations and that’s when I can make the clearest judgment. Ballads appeared a lot in the SOLO songs and they have been sung from TVXQ to JYJ activities, so this time for my title song’s style I want to use ‘performance’.
—
THIS! he has stated this over and over again. even from his japan solo before and even more from his musical activities, it’s crystal clear that he loves flashy theatrical performances. i still don’t get when some people “surprised” when he didn’t stick with ballads. this guy loves stage, loves dance, loves performance. imo, dance songs showcased his performing talent the best. sure i love him singing ballad, but i’m glad that he’s not just sticking to mild and simple ballad.
i love this insightful interview about his music. thanks syc for translating and jyj3 for sharing.
¡Junsu my love!! ¡I knew it!! I knew you had turned to be the most self confident, the most mature and gorgeous cutie pie ever. You know what you like and what you want; you know you look gorgeous; your self esteem has grown beyond the stars…… ¡OH YREAHHHH! You master yourself in the most incredible way…… ¡I’m happy!! My sweet man is beautiful in every possible way
Hello my fellow citizens of JYJ republic
. Sorry for being silent lurker for a long time since the last time I commented here. Peace 
Long time no see, glad to post a comment
I’m very happy and proud to read Junsu’s interview. According to me, this is the best interview Junsu has ever had.
Junsu asked questions about Indonesia too (So proud to be Indonesian
This is the most detailed interview of revealing the real feelings of Junsu as a solo artist. What makes me happier is that most of his statements are the things that I’ve thought before, especially after seeing the Tarantallegra MV. Many people were shocked during the earlier moment of the MV airing on Youtube. I’ve read sarcastic comments about Junsu, stating that he is like gay and such similar one.
Just as Junsu sees and thinks of his brand new image through Tarantallegra album, I consider of him as a visionary Junsu. He has broad range of perception. He is truly open minded. As Junsu grows older, he is indeed more mature. He knows what he wants and he is able to make his wish come true. What a great vision Junsu has for his career. I’m very proud to live and witness him as he is, and also as the member of JYJ.
Way to go Xia Junsu. Let us see the most of your talent. Just do what you want, I believe it’ll be totally rocking
Hope to see your new MV. May God bless all JYJ members. Amen.
Good night my friends at JYJ3. Thanks a lot dear admins for your hard work
this is the voice of freedom to pursue his ideas and creativity and maturity to assess and evaluate himself and his works. and the cute will always be in there too, anytime he wants to share it!
Giving audience 3 wishes during “genie time”, every time they would ask for the “Angel Xia” expression, but every time you would be shy, what makes you shy?
Ah~If you ask me suddenly to do it, it’s not that I don’t like it, it’s very interesting, very good. As long as it’s at concert I can continue doing it from now on. Because the people that will see are all my fans, so it doesn’t matter. But at a “public area” or “external event”, or “congress meeting” to perform “angel Xia” I would feel like I’m going to be crazy soon. (laugh) Doing this (“angel Xia”) in front of dads holding their kids on their necks, as a man to man I would feel embarrassed. I’m already 25 years old (sigh).
That’s question and the answer ^^~~~ so cute. I will always like “Angel Xiah” he seems shy and I will still love it !! don’t worry Junsu we only will ask you to do it in fan meeting and concerts!!
Reblogged this on heygirl2 and commented:
I just love it ^^~~~ Junsu “angel Xiah”
But, if you have your nails done once it’s like you are poisoned, isn’t that right? (laugh)
Yes. It’s like eating habits changed, because if I don’t do it it feels really weird. Actually, because this kind of style, some of the overseas fans would think the main character in “TARANTALLEGRA” is not me. Some would say “so handsome, is he ‘GAY’?” (laugh) Even though I’m not “GAY” but I like hearing this kind of comment. As long as I can show everyone a different side, no matter if am “GAY” or not, as an artist, I feel like this definitely the main reason that will add more points to me.
Junsu oppa is not gay!! ^^~~ I know it but He still likes that kind of comments ~~hhahaha
Junsu my young brother, thank you for growing up into the fascinating, talented, charming, savvy young man you are. Like JJ, and YC, I hope your star shines forever!
Get ‘em Xia!
BRAVO Kim Junsu! This is one of the most insightful interviews I have ever read from any artist in the SK K-pop industry.
What I love most.. is that this is about THE MUSIC..this is why we are here, why we follow.. it’s about the MUSIC and at last we get to hear Junsu talk about his music and his creative process.
Junsu’s comments are really very revealing. He gives us a intimate look into his thought process, his psyche and his creative process. Reading this carefully… No one can doubt that this is a man with deep thoughts… this is man who has a deeply creative core… this is a man of great intelligence yet he is genuine and humble. And he even gives us a few delightful tidbits about aspects of his personal life as he talks about his weight loss, getting his nails done, shopping for clothing. One of Junsu’s greatest attractions is how open and honest he is.
But, what I love most about this article is the clear picture of Junsu as a truly incredible MUSICIAN totally emersed and completely, completely, dedicated, committed to achieving perfection in his craft. It reveals what we already knew… unequivocally for Kim Junsu IT IS ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC. Music is not a hobby for Junsu, not a spare time activity.. MUSIC DEFINES WHO HE IS AT HIS CORE. (Seriously did anyone catch this>>”… I already made about 100 songs.”)
We also get one of the clearest pictures of an aspect of Junsu that many continue to dismiss, distort or negate through the constant “Baby Su” reference. That picture is this>> Kim Junsu is a MAN that is completely in CONTROL OF HIS CAREER. JUNSU IS CALLING THE SHOTS. After reading this article anyone who had any doubts about this can certainly let go of that fallacy that Junsu is a whiny baby sucking a bottle, waiting to be “fed” and told what to do. In reality Junsu was never “that” person… that “persona” was fabricated by SME and the Fandom and perpetuated for the amusement of the fandom.
Well it is Time to let it go…
And finally the article reveals one other thing and it is that Junsu has something many never achieve in a lifetime… and that is SELF KNOWLEDGE & FOCUS. Junsu’s success has been his capacity for SELF MASTERY…he knows himself, knows what he does well, knows what he wants, has the confidence to pursue it even at the risk of failure.
Every month this man gives me a NEW reason to be proud of him. Thanks Junsu…
Junsu, you rock. Can tell you have surprises in store for your fandom. But what music do YOU listen to? (I want a list, smile).
In this picture, he looks like Gaara, one character in Naruto. Cool.
Hopefully he will comeback to Indonesia and have vacation here together with Jaejoong and Yoochun.
This is the best interview Junsu has done, so far. I think some of us have underestimated the control he has over his music and his performances; he’s taking us on a musical journey, light-years beyond any other ‘idol’ and all we have to do is buckle up and enjoy the ride
Junsu yah! You really like it when someone calls you gay even though you are not? You peculiar dork! Tehee! Junsu fighting! I enjoy all your interviews even though I have to read them through trans
Time to take up korean classes!
