[TRANSLATION]
Its not too much to say that the group that Kim Jae Joong belongs to – JYJ, can sing, do variety and act.
In < Dr Jin >’s press conference, Kim Jae Joong said modestly that “In JYJ, I consider my acting skills to be the worst.” When the reporter asked him to give his own acting a score, he replied ” The score is not given by me, I couldn’t give myself a score. *smiles* The gentle sentimental Yoo Chun and the emotions that I convey are very different and can’t be compared. “
Those who are feel that he only drew upon his super idol star popularity to become an actor, is actually kind of prejudiced. More so as he comes from an idol background, Jae Joong is actually under more pressure to bear harsher scrutiny on his acting and face more challenges. That day, Kim Jae Joong expressed hopes for himself to become a better actor, to be able to grow from various challenges to become an actor who can connect well with audiences.
“It doesn’t help me to only do the things I am good at doing. I hope I can do a better job at acting similar roles, and even if I get hated by the audience I hope to try new roles.”
Jae Joong does not wish to only act characters close to his own personality nor depend on his idol popularity for his projects, even though he will not face derision for such choices. As for his following projects, Jae Joong displayed a fierce determination, he said ” Even though I would like to try romantic comedies again, I would very much like to challenge horror genre with psycho-like roles. “
Even though he is very busy with his singing and acting activities, the 27 yr old Jae Joong is at the right age for love and romance. But being a worldwide beloved idol, it is not easy to openly date someone.
“I’m worried that fans will be hurt. My fans who are for and against this seems to be 50-50. Some fans post on forums saying ‘ Hope that Jae Joong will date this type of woman’, I feel that such fans are so cool. But there are also fans who will be hurt if I go open with a relationship. In my 20s I probably will not openly date, but perhaps I will reconsider in my 30s. *smiles* “
Jae Joong’s deep love for his niece
“My beautiful niece, please grow up beautifully!” Jae Joong’s wonderful photo with his niece, brings a warm smile to our faces.
Jae Joong kisses little baby’s cheek, and chubby little baby’s cute look back at Jae Joong, like she is looking at her father.
“Grow up as cute as your uncle.. ” “Her uncle is JYJ?” “She’s too cute. No wonder Jae Joong loves her so much! “
US LA Trip – Why?
Kim Jae Joong, Park Yoo Chun, Kim Jun Su travelled to LA, USA.
This trip is for JYJ’s next album’s preparations and to meet the collaborators over there.
Other than meetings, the rest of the time – because of dramas and musicals etc individual solo activities that has exhausted the busy JYJ members – they will finally be able to take a rare vacation together.
After Jae Joong’s part in MBC’s weekend drama “Dr Jin” concludes, Park Yoo Chun will be considering his next project and before Jun su’s Asia Tour’s last stop in Hong Kong [ ** extra note 26 Aug 12 ** ] , there will be a small window of around 10 days where the members will be free.
“JYJ and Kanye West’s collaborates with the worldwide album starting World Tour as the goal”. Production of the worldwide album will center around US, therefore there will be constant meetings with local music artists, at the same time, JYJ’s World Tour will also invite directly these music collaborators. [ Translator´s note: to be honest I don't understand the phrase describing who they are meeting with, its sounds like administrators, but in the context I can't be certain. ]

I said it so many times that Jae is a very special guy with a distinguish personality…and despite he is more tallented than others, he is hardworking and passionate in every project he’s involved in…but…he amazes us every day…and not only him but all three jyj members…keep it going guys….the fans all over the world love and support you all the way…fighting jyj!!!:)
Tx for the translation….Our boys is really great….they have capture the heart of chinese fans as well as china market…..
“ It doesn’t help me to only do the things I am good at doing. I hope I can do a better job at acting similar roles, and even if I get hated by the audience I hope to try new roles.”
and who said that this man has some insecurities or lack self-confidence?
and take note ladies : In my 20s I probably will not openly date …
Okay just hide it Jae because I think you have the most craziest followers/haters in this world ( I can’t call those stupid shippers harassing you and your friends as fans), just announce it when you’ll be exchanging wedding rings already.
Production of the worldwide album will center around US …
Just hope you only seek some assistance and still retain the JYJ signature. Some international fans listen to JYJ music because they are sick and bored with what are considered as US mainstream nowadays. Jaejoong’s compositions are far better from some newly released US songs, if only they are in English language, like In Heaven and No Gain.
And as what Jaejoong said about Psy in : http://www.kpopstarz.com/articles/15035/20121002/jyj-psy-jaejoong-k-pop-gangnam-style.htm
” He’s never copied someone else’s music. He doesn’t believe in making music just for the sake of making music. I think it was music that was created from his own thoughts and style that made an explosion in the US . His popularity is not just limited in the US, but it’s all over the world. I think his own style and personality appealed to people around the world. His sincere music really appealed to people.”
Just something that sort of hurts me a tiny bit and I just wanted to clarify ^^ I hope you do not think that all YJ shippers are crazy/harassing him. There are also tons of non-shippers who do the same and will go batshit if he’s seen with a girl…

There are tons of non-shippers who do the same and will go batshit if JJ is seen with a girl…. I’m sorry, and please don’t take it the wrong way, it’s just that I’m a shipper, and it quite hurts when people generalise and call all shippers crazy and shouldn’t be considered fans….. T^T
I said “( I can’t call those stupid shippers harassing you and your friends as fans)” , it’s not a generalization, I’m only referring to those who are harassing Jae. I have nothing against shippers as long as they don’t go beyond the limit of humiliating the persons they shipped. How can you call those people as fans, whether they are shippers or not, spreading made-up malicious stories, photos and any other materials that ridicule Jaejoong, humiliate him as a person…. if you don’t belong to this group, then you have no reason to be hurt.
Well, thanks for not generalising, since that’s what most JYJ stans tend to do. I was just making sure.
And Gah! Double post. Sorry
Thx Jean for the translation…very insightful !!!!!
@kris,… ‘who said that this man has some insecurities or lack self-confidence?’..Only haters and fools think so!!!!!
To want to do something beyond his comfort zones and vocalise it, speaks volume about his courage, confidence and commitment to grow as an artist and haters be damned!!!!
Spot on Jae!!!!!!I agree that JYJ as well loved artists in their 20s should not date openly, not only to avoid those unpleasant shippers and fans but most importantly to safeguard the integrity of the relationship and
like you Kris, I think they should only announce it when the’re just about to tie the knot!!!!
From all his previous interviews, Jae emphasised that he’s happy making music he loves together with his members and I’m sure they will be adamant about keeping their music true to their identities. Also, having Psy as a successful reference would strengthened their arguments and hope the American production team will have the intelligence to know that JYJ music is what we fans all over have been subscribing to!!!
Looking forward to their new album very impatiently…..
Wait.. they are going to work with Kenye West..again?
