It’s been 4 years since JYJ’s Thanksgiving Live in Tokyo Dome last June 2010. The thought of meeting their fans after a long time is really exciting for them. For the fans who have waited for four years, JYJ is going to show them the best stage.
Kim Jaejoong started his Asia Tour in Bitec Hall, Bangkok, Thailand last February 17 and will continue to Shanghai, Hong Kong, Nanjing, etc. Through Naver star column, let’s reveal Kim Jaejoong’s many thoughts.

I can still remember the morning when I woke up, looked at twitter on my phone and saw a few @-mentions from friends with the news that Jaejoong was going to release a solo-album! “really? A solo album? REALLY??!!”. I did some quick research on fansites to find out that it was true! JAEJOONG WAS RELEASING A SOLO ALBUM, A SOLO ROCK ALBUM!!! GODDDD, a few months before I tweeted Jaejoong begging him to release a solo rock album along with an URL of his MAZE performance, I said that if he would ever release one that I’d buy 10,000 copies, LMAO.
Along with the release of the album came the news that Jaejoong would hold a fanmeeting + mini concert in Seoul. Wooaaaahhhhhh, I’ve always told myself that if Jaejoong would ever have a solo concert that I would be there, no matter what. After talking about it at work and getting free days I could start looking how to get tickets. Luckily I have amazing friends in the fandom that were willing to help me! My precious Japanese nuna [BEE-nuna, who I met at the JYJ Berlin concert] managed to get me a ticket for the Saturday concert, and for the Sunday concert I asked an eBay seller, he got me a VIP seat!!!
So after I was sure of my concert tickets I could book my flight tickets and a hostel. It was quite hard to find a good hostel :/ Maybe because it was on such short notice, everything seemed to be fully booked. But after hours of searching I managed to find a hostel that had a free room for the time I stayed in Seoul. Now the only thing left was waiting.. And preparing of course. I printed a ton of maps of how to go to; Coffee Cojjee, BUM’s Story, Crebeau Jeff, Nuna Photo Studio, concert venue, hostel. I’ve been to Seoul before but it’s still quite stressy to go so far all alone.. kkk
[Flashforward to January 23rd] The trip to Seoul was pretty tiring, Brussels -> London -> Seoul. I woke up at 5AM to catch my flight at 10AM in Brussels, then had to wait 3 hours in London for my transfer-flight to Seoul which was over 12 hours. The total time spent at airports/in planes was about 18 hours. I can’t really sleep on planes because I’m so tall and can never get comfortable, I cursed a few times and told myself I’m pretty crazy to fly over for a concert, DAMN YOU JAEJOONG♥♥♥♥. So I was quite tired arriving in Seoul, but luckily I was welcomed by JYJ at the Tony Moly store in the airport.
