Kim Jae-joong’s 2nd studio album named favorite K-pop album in China for 2016
SEOUL, March 15 (Yonhap) — South Korean singer Kim Jae-joong’s second full-length album has been chosen as the most popular K-pop album in China for 2016, his management said Wednesday.
Kim’s “NO. X” topped the ranking recently announced by the major Chinese video streaming platform Youku, C-JeS Entertainment said. The ranking was based on album reviews and grades posted on the popular media review sites in China.
Released in February last year, “NO. X” topped iTunes charts of 39 countries around the world upon its release.
“Kim is the only solo artist among the singers ranked in the top 10 posts, which proves his unchanging popularity in China,” the agency said.
He is scheduled to perform in Thailand on March 18 and Macao on March 25 as part of his solo Asian concert tour that began in Hong Kong on Saturday.
The JYJ member was discharged from the Army in January after two years of mandatory military service as a South Korean citizen.

JYJ’s Jaejoong’s ‘No.X’ Named Favorite K-Pop Album Of 2016 In China
JAEJOONG’S SLAYING HARD!
Merely three months since his discharge from the army, JYJ‘s Jaejoong is proving his unwavering popularity, especially in China. The singer’s second studio album ‘No.X’ was named the most popular K-Pop album in the country for 2016.
According to C-JeS Entertainment, the singer’s agency, ‘No.X’ topped the ranking based on album reviews and grades posted on popular media review sites in China. The announcement was made by China’s major video streaming platform Youku.
“Kim is the only solo artist among the singers ranked in the top 10 posts, which proves his unchanging popularity in China,” his agency remarked.
The singer released his second studio album in February 2016 while serving in the military. ‘No.X’ featured various genres such as Brit pop, pop funk, blues, ballad and rock. The album also contained Jaejoong’s compositions such as Good Morning Night, Good Luck, Breathing, Run Away, among others.
‘No.X’ topped iTunes charts of 39 countries around the world upon its release. The album sold over 85,000 copies in 2016, and ranked 27th in Gaon Chart of that year.
Prior to the album’s release, a music video for the track Love No More was uploaded on YouTube.
Aside from the singer’s album achievement, Jaejoong successfully kicked off his solo Asian concerts last March 11 in Hong Kong. Despite the on-going Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) dispute between Seoul and Beijing, the singer performed in a sold-out show of 5,000 fans.
The event further proved the singer’s popularity in the region as fans swarmed the airport to greet him upon his arrival. Fans sang I Will Protect You in harmony while waiting for Jaejoong.

Help me understand how the “2016 favorite album in China” only sells 85,000 copies worldwide?
And how could this powerfull album didn’t win any award?this album deserve it! Congrats JJ \(^___^)/
NO.X was a nominee for Golden Disk Award for Best Album Category even without promotion (for me it’s already a WIN), GDA is presented annually by the Music Industry Association of Korea for outstanding achievements in the music industry, It was a great surprise that being blacklisted and the album was released while he was in MS but still performed remarkably. If the album flopped, we can always give an excuse of no promotion but it didn’t, it was fighting against the great walls of younger Kpop groups heavily promoting. He was able to win the Asian Artist Popularity Award because NO.X was nominated. Yes it deserves a Daesang Award, but let’s look at the other way, how many active singers released an album last 2016 with NO.X? It’s already 2017 but news about how great is NO.X are still coming, for me it’s a well deserved award more than a trophy, the non-stop recognition and appreciation. 😍👍✌️💚
‘No.X’ topped the ranking based on album reviews and grades posted on popular media review sites in China. The announcement was made by China’s major video streaming platform Youku. – so this recognition is not about “how many albums sold”
“The album sold over 85,000 copies in 2016.” Fans know that 85,000 doesn’t include the albums sold in Japan, I wonder why Cjes can’t release the actual figure sold.
“Kim Jaejoong is the only solo artist among the singers ranked in the top 10 posts ,
which proves his unchanging popularity in China,”
Fly high JJ, your fans all over the world will make sure you’ll reach the height you truly deserve.
