JYJ, has received much attention recently for continuously doing donation events, allowing children around the world to receive much aid.

Students from Thailand who were affected by the floods had received medical aid and educational materials and their joyful expressions were captured on video, which was released via JYJ’s official youtube channel( http://www.youtube.com/CJESJYJ) recently.

Last year in autumn, Thailand met with the most severe floods in the last 50 years, affecting 1 million children and over 9 million people. JYJ not only donated 200 million won worth of relief aid items, they also helped to restructure many businesses and appealed to the public to join them in a video message, eventually receiving many appreciation letters from their Thai fans.

From July to October last year, JYJ also supported “WASH”, a project by Canada’s elementary school, situated at the Fungurume region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Through building clean washrooms, and educating the teachers and students about hygiene-related illnesses, the residents were more united as they interacted more often with residents from other regions. “WASH” project allowed much improvements of the hygiene conditions of 847 students and 6 teachers, and 300 residents were educated on hygiene, while over 40,000 people had access to the radio broadcast about epidemic diseases.

JYJ members not only donated scholarships individually, they also aided many less fortunate families in Korea and worldwide as a group, and continued sharing about child hunger overseas. JYJ said, “Whenever we see the happy smiles on childrens’ faces as they receive their educational items, we’d feel that it’s a pity we can’t hand these to them personally. We hope to donate more to the needy in future.”

On the other hand, JYJ has been busy with their solo activities. Kim Jaejoong’s “Jackal is coming” will hit the cinemas in November, while Park Yoochun’s TV drama “Miss you” will be broadcasted soon. Kim Junsu has successfully ended his solo concert tours in Asia and America, and is currently preparing for his Europe tour.

Kim Jaejoong, a member of Korean boyband JYJ, made a promise with his fans. On 6 Aug, he accepted an interview after he ended his shoot in MBC TV Drama “Dr Jin”, where he stars as a descendent of a descendant to a long line of master swordsmen. He revealed his thoughts about participating in a historical drama for the first time.

Although Kim Jaejoong has debuted 9 years ago, he is still considered a green horn when it comes to acting, as “Dr Jin”is only his second drama filmed in Korea. Although it is his first time acting in a historical drama, it was not difficult for him to portray complicated feelings, displaying his remarkable acting skills as he immerses into his character, attaining praises from the audience.

In reply to the question about whether he would be receiving the newcomer acting award at the end of the year, Kim Jaejoong said, “I’d be really happy if I could have that honour. Even if I don’t get the award, I’ll still focus on acting seriously. I still hope I’ll receive that award though, since it's the only once in a lifetime chance for an actor to receive the newcomer award.”

Looking at his remarkable acting skills as well as the drama’s viewership, there should be a high chance of Kim Jaejoong winning the award. He said, “If I really get the award, I’ll fork out money to build a subway station outside fans’ houses. Haha, I’m kidding. But if I really am that lucky to receive that award, I’ll definitely do a V pose (Victory pose) in front of my fans, and shout ‘Thank you!’”.

After the reporter also suggested Kim jaejoong to shout “Thank You!” as he did in an ad (JYJ had endorsed a medicine brand, and this line that was mentioned in the ad had become a popular lingo among fans), Jaejoong laughed and said, “I will definitely do a V pose with both hands!”

It seems like it should not be difficult for Kim Jaejoong to fulfil his promise with his fans, as he had achieved surprisingly good results through his first appearance in a historical drama. He is no longer that singer that only stands on stage with thick make-up, but has swiftly evolved into an actor with good substance. We hope to be able to see him raise both hands, shouting “Thank you!” at the awards ceremony at the end of the year.

Korean boyband JYJ’s member Kim Jaejoong held a fanmeet in Taiwan in his own name for the first time on 23 May, attracting a total of 2600 fans. He sang two songs at the fanmeet, earning one million TWD within a day in Taiwan.

There were four interactive game segments in the fanmeet—Charades, Pictionary, Q&A session as well as “attacking” Jaejoong’s bag to see what was inside. These games allowed fans to be able to interact with Jaejoong upclose, and he even lifted up his top to show off his muscles willingly, causing his manager to break into cold sweat as the fans screamed loudly.

Kim Jaejoong also created a romantic atmosphere, displaying his vocals as he performed “I’ll Protect You”, the OST of Korean drama “Protect The Boss”. He also performed a Korean ballad “For you”. As he loves drawing, he even brought the popular app game “Draw Something” on stage, showing off his talent in drawing. As expected, fans could easily guess his drawings, giving Jaejoong much pleasure.

Surprisingly, Kim Jaejoong actually has much knowledge about health supplements at such a young age! He brings medicine for liver protection, and even vitamins for knee and joints protection everywhere he goes. He explained that he had to ensure that he is constantly in tip top condition as he has filming, and have no other choice but to take care of himself through taking these health supplements, causing fans to feel much heart pain.

Kim Jaejoong missed Taiwan delicacies so much that he chose spicy hotpot for his celebration party after the fanmeet ended. After eating, he immediately posted a picture on twitter of himself holding soup dumplings in one hand, while using chopsticks to hold a piece of meat dumpling in another hand, allowing international fans to feel his happiness being in Taiwan.

Constant yawning during his rushed schedule

Kim Jaejoong held his personal fanmeet at ATT Showbox last night in Taiwan, and even though the most expensive ticket costs 4500 TWD, the tickets were sold out within an hour.

Kim Jaejoong has recently started filming Korean drama “Dr. Jin”, he tweeted yesterday morning showing a series of photos of him yawning, and wrote, “I’m so sleep till I have double eyelids, I’m so tired, ah!”. He arrived in Taiwan in mid-afternoon, and there were 300 fans welcoming him at Taoyuan international airport, and he immediately proceeded to Jinghua Hotel.

At night, fans screamed the minute he appeared at the fanmeet, and after singing “I’ll Protect you” and “For You”, he did his usual greetings to the fans in Chinese, saying, “Hi everyone, I’m Kim Jaejoong.”

Attacking his bag, revealing medicine bottles

It has been a year since Kim Jaejoong last visited Taiwan, and he expressed that he has always been eating soup dumplings and would like to try other Taiwanese delicacies. He laughed, “I want to eat something that’s good for men’s health!”. At which, the host immediately introduced him to snake soup at Huaxi Road, to which Jaejoong asked, “Is it delicious?”. Fans immediately replied, “Ne! (‘Yes!’ in Korean)”. Jaejoong said he would try it the next time.

The contents of his bag was searched and shown during the fanmeet, revealing his wallet, handphone and cologne, as well as knee and liver health supplements and cod oil. He said, “I don’t have time to eat during filming, so I can only eat health supplements to take care of myself.”, leaving fans feeling the heartache for him. He left Taiwan today at 1:30pm via flight KE692.
