JYJ shines brightly on the stage when they perform together, but when they function individually, their distinct color shines ever definitely. The fans also support them as a unit and individual artists.
It’s been 3 years since Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu left TVXQ to form JYJ. They’ve released 2 full albums as JYJ, and even though their TV appearances were limited, their songs never left the top of the charts. They were surrounded by the support of their international fans, including Japan, China, Taiwan, and Thailand. They sold out every international tour that they went on.
Their synergy is amazing on stage. However, they also enjoyed great success as individual artists. Yoochun and Jaejoong were cast in several dramas and movies and became well-liked actors, why Junsu became a sell-out musical star. Jaejoong is now taking flight as a distinguished solo artist.
Jaejoong recently performed a tour in Osaka, Japan titled, “2013 Kim Jae Joong 1st Album Asia Tour in Osaka”. It was a two day event attended by over 20,000 fans.
Even though his roots began with pop and dance music , Jaejoong chose visual rock as his genre of choice for his solo debut. His explosive vocals and sharp, good looks allowed him to succeed in this genre. His first solo album “WWW: Who, When, Why” was a big success thanks in part to the lyrics that he penned himself. Jaejoong wrote the lyrics to 10 songs in the album.
It was a continuation of his success earlier this year with his debut mini album “I”. He immediately went tour to the big cities Asia with astounding success. It was titled, “Your, My and Mine”.
These successes are meaningful to Jaejoong because he was completely accepted as an individual artist. Taking over Asia with JYJ or performing in popular dramas as an actor would be easily done. However, Jaejoong managed to gain popularity and take Asia by storm all by himself.
His Osaka Tour performance on the 17th and 18th was picture proof of his amazing talent as a visual rocker. He paid close attention to details, including his stage clothes, his styling, and even the stage setup so that the final product could be satisfactory to both himself and his fans. His pre-concert interview showed him confident and eager to perform without any awkwardness.
The Osaka tour was the last two dates of his “2013 Kim Jae Joong Album Asia Tour” tour. He sold out seats to 15,000 fans in Seoul, 60,000 fans in Yokohama, and 22,000 fans in Osaka.
Jaejoong will now focus on his 4-city Korea tour that begins in January.
like the title very very much. of course, we know it – whether as JYJ or as individuals Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu shine brightly. and 2013 is the year of JYJ! the hard work paid off! despite being blocked, these three young men still thrived!
Jaejong’s first full-length album is amazing! now that he can do as it pleases him, we can see his true colours! Rocker JJ all the way!
Yup, JJ shines the brightest as a rocker. He’s so so so smart in choosing this path.

This is why I love JYJ (and all the moments and hardworking of Junsu, YooChun and JJ) after TVXQ break up …. This is the reason …. because they shine brightest amoung KPOP star in every field drama, musical, cd selling power, commercial … they are in the TOP … All this with all these nonsense blockage …. They work very hard to rise from the bottom … They use their talent to the core … I am so proud to be JYJ fan … Just feeling proud and loving the title of this news
I’m so thankful that he started strong as a solo singer with One Kiss, the mini-album and WWW or else people, even within the JYJ fandom just brush him off as the pretty face, selca king, there was even a time when he was called “useless” not realizing how much he contributed to the JYJ In Heaven album and it’s world concert tour, taking a step back for a solo project.
Wishing for more and greater success Kim Jaejoong and of course JYJ!

Voting! Thanks. People, let’s get him to win this!
Jyj and their individual performances are always shine as bright as the sun.
i’m glad for his success XD…… but ,, i have a strange feeling that i won’t see them as jyj together again , each one now taking his own path 😦 i want a new jyj album
@ babaalayan
i believe we will see them together again..:-) jae, chunnie and junsu know their strength as JYJ, the effect of JYJ to most of us if not all:-) lets just extend our patience for their group album, if it will not come out soon as we hoped to be, then extend our patience more..:-) i want to copy this comment, i read this somewhere from previous post- jj,yc,js shine brightly individually but they shine even more when they are together. the effect is very strong:-) so have faith..:-)
thank u dear 🙂 , i’m always keeping the faith , and thats why i’m here ^_^
I think what each one of them want to do and makes them happy, bring self fulfillment and contentment is more important than what we want. Of course they have dreams as a group but no doubt each one has his own dream and passion. They are great as JYJ but if each one of them is for the moment is happy with their newly found freedom, unrestrained self-expression and they are able to show the best in each of them, no need to worry to hold back to keep a group balance but to show their individual passion to the fullest , well, let them be. They will come back if they feel like it.
@ kris
hi.. ganahan jud ko pag mo comment naka kay mas ma explain nimo ug tarong:-)
@ycforever31
ayaw ana uy, ulaw lang ko kekeke
hapi to meet fellow bisaya 🙂
@ kris
nice to meet you too..:-) bisayaon nalang nako ni ha, isa ka sa akong mga paborito diri and that makes me isa sa imong mga fans diri:-)
yeah sure, i understand ^_^ thanks 🙂
Yes, it is right that all the members are good in their activities both as a group or individual artist. But i dont think this statement of ”
Taking over Asia with JYJ or performing in popular dramas as an actor would be easily done” is suitable. I’m not living in Korea but I think Korean drama artists and pop groups are very competitive. Now they are first rank in their field both as group and individual. And i believe its not easy to achieve this stage
Everything Jaejoong achieved so far is more than enough to prove he is the best in the field he is in.
He alone sells better than other groups as a whole. If that isn’t saying something, I don’t know what will. And to think he achieved all this without depending on tv appearances….
Jaejoong’s annual sales have exceeded TVXQ’s and JYJ’s records in both Hanteo and Gaon chart.

kris thank you for sharing this link.. I am in a bit of a confused state with such newsworthy information being mentioned as a oh and btw……..
perhaps I missed the post with this news, I haven’t been too up to date.. He actually lived up to the painting of him as the one out of hundreds, at the lead, singled out as “THE ONE” ..the artist and his painting .. would be nice to flood websites of this news huh right (he knew.we knew. now all know).. Highest album sales as Male soloist for the year is big news no? (frankly I thought it more important than . ), why this site or cjes not celebrating with proper headline makes me wish for a dedicated site so unfair treatment is never a thought.. sorry I’m baffled to a rage right now..ok. should be only happy.merry.joy with such wonderful news during this season of jj.
WWW at this time of year has put me in a state of “Jaejoong Season” …. to celebrate the awesomeness of his “”””touch”””” …best album … “”feel””love”” and now with this news you share, even more so..
Just Jaejoong … Jaejoong Journey … Jaejoong Joy

Feeling Jaejoong … ah … Paradise … Jaejoong Rhythm …
@IjyjNjoy
This article is floating among Jaejoong fans in twitter in which the original is a Japanese blogger. I don’t think his agency would take as much time to compile such data to boast the publicity of it’s artist, it’s so unlikely for Cjes, lol.

Jaejoong and fans are doing what we can do in terms of promoting his work 🙂 maybe it’s one of his biggest inspiration, his fans are rejoicing the Kim Jaejoong Season and and in so much anticipation for more.
JJ is showing everyone that doubted and ridiculed them when they left, when they were being stifled and suffocated that the ideas they had and what they could do should not be limited. This is what happens when you step outside the given box and become something more this is when you step out on faith and become some thing and someone beyond your wildest dreams taking the world by storm and turning the rainy days into sun shinny moments. Look at his face above and know that is a men that embraces all that he is and shall become and because he shines so bright from with in I will follow..
