TVXQ members Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu, who formed a male trio JYJ, finally stood in front of their Korean fans for the first time.

At 9PM on the 12th, JYJ held their 「JYJ Worldwide Showcase」 in Hwajeong Gymnasium, Korea University, Anam-dong, Seoul, and showed off their bright and confident images.

On that day, it was the first public exhibit of JYJ’s first worldwide album 「The Beginning」, which the trio had worked together with famous American producers Kanye West and Rodney Jerkins. During the LIVE, 4 songs from that album, as well as the OST song 「Chajatta」 from KBS2’s drama 「Sungkyunkwan Scandal」, were introduced. This album has attracted a lot of attention because it includes songs by each of the trio, composed from when they were teens. Through their powerful voices and refined choreography, one could catch a glimpse of the sincerity and effort the trio have put into this album.

Next, is a question and answer with JYJ:

SM Tries to Stop Sale of New JYJ Album

The Korean management company accused of unfair practices with regards to 3 members of the supergroup TVXQ  are trying to stop the sale of the trio’s first album.  SME (SM) reportedly filed an injunction with the court against the sale of JYJ’s new album “The Beginning”. 

Some observers are openly speculating that the move is because it became clear the trio’s debut album will definitely be a huge success.  After all, why would anyone stop the sale of an album they thought was going to fail?

Since this news was first reported by a translated report from AKP, we’ll await further details from an alternate source.  However, this is sure to further sever any good will left lingering between any TVXQ fan and SM since some fans were cutting SM slack because the company did not seem to be actively working against the success of the trio.
