[INTERVIEW] 121202 Junsu : "The Album of JYJ will be realeased next year"

By his own estamination, Junsu who had the World tour as a solo artist told about his first world tour like this....

" I did this world tour in return to my fans, not to cling to number or it's scale. I think I could grow further.."

And he added " We have the plan to realease of JYJ album next year"

He succsessfully finished his first world tour as a solo artist since May. He had 13 concerts in 12 cities. He was welcomed enthusiastically by about 53.000 his fans in Asia, US, Mexico, Chili, Brazil, Germany ...

of course it was not big scale, but it's an exeptional thing that a member of idol grup have the world tour as a solo artist..

However his fans gave a welcome to him as sold out of his concert and ardently demanded the encore. And they made the green light for the potential power of the brand "Kim Junsu".

Gathering momentum for it, he'll have the ballad concert at D Hall of COEX on Dec 29, 30, 31...

There are Questions and answers...

- Finally, your first solo World Tour was over. How do you fell ?

 " Actually  I was afraid of standing alone on the stage when the world tour was confirmed. I doubted to stand and lead alone on the stage in Asia, US,  South America even Europr..and I thought I doubted that I have ability to do it. I think my stage might not  be perfect but it was my opportunity to grow much more. Making my solo album, I could express something that I really want and I learned many things from it including the stage directing. In the end it was the study to me. My solo album and concerts suggest the way that "Kim Junsu in 2013" will go, because I have the solo World Tour. This year is unforgettable to me.  

I think it will be the last concerts of my first World Tour..I fell great but Sorry "

- At this time scale of the concert in Germany is not big...

"About 3 years ago I letted go of my greed about number and scale. If I focused on things like those, I only might have the concerts in Asia including in Japan. Having concerts with many staffs is not a model to make a profit for the company. But I think it was in return to my fans, and I think it is my duty and something that I must do. Frankly speaking, I have no chance to meet the fans in South America and Europe if I don't have concerts in that place. FurtheRmore, now I can't appear on TV so it's hard to meet  trough the media. for this reason, I want to go there and give back the love that I received from them "

- Where was the hardest place that you played ?

" The reaction of the fans are the same, but if I have to choose only one .... Mexico. it was the hardest place that I've ever performed. I fell hard and breathless although I did only one chapter of my stage...so I thought about why I was hard like that ? Then I found out that it's altitude is Higher than Mt. Hanra and lower than Mt. Baekdu. As I was breathless too much, I wanted to drop down many times at the concert. But I could hold out because many ardent fans gave shouts to me "

* Mt. Hanra is located in Cheju-Island and it's altitude is 1.950m

* Mt. Baekdu is located in boarder between North Korea and China and it's 2.450m

* Mt. Baekdu not located in South Korea but it's so special mountain to Korean people 

- Your looking is more handsome than before

" Actually I heard it many time at this year. Honestly, since I was working as TVXQ I thought lke this...'as a singer the most important thing is singging well not looking'. For this reason I had never bought clothes ... even my managers told me to buy them. I didn't know about the fashion and even I didn't look into a mirror. But I couldn't concentrate for myselfs when I looked at myself in the glass after taking the role of Tod. Then I thought ...trying to change myself...so I took a diet at this time"

- How do you think about the individual working of JYJ members ?

" We had to do well because we had just a few rights to choose. But I think did well within the limits of our choice. There are many idols who is playing in the drama. Because I am a member of JYJ, I think JJ and YC are without equal ....*     laugh    *    

- How your future plan ?

" The album of JYJ will be realeased next year ... perhaps it will be in the middle of the year. Of course it can be changed. ....I think we'll do individual working until the first half of the year. Anyway we're still talking about the specifics" 

- You will have the concert at the end of the year....

" I think this concert would be different from something that I had. I begun to work as an idol, and now I'm an Idol....As an idol it can be risky to held the ballad concert...but from the past ...watching Shin Seunghoon, I have dreamed to held this kind of concert.. I have always thought ... I could have the concert to compete for just songs excluding the dances and performances...I don't know about the detail yet ... but I so much care about the accoustic sound. I will perform with orchestra..I am also very excited and looking forward for it..."
