[TRANS] Xiah Junsu’s contract for ‘Tears of Heaven’ musical revealed

A confirmation photo of Xiah Junsu’s musical contract for ‘Tears of Heaven‘ has been revealed in order to clarify speculations on his performance wage for the musical.

According to the contract, Xiah Junsu was contracted to receive $7,000 USD for each of his 10-20 performances.

Xiah Junsu expressed,

“Vague rumors regarding the performance fees are ungrounded. I feel it is just a great honor for me to work alongside world-renown maestro Frank Wildhorn and other respected stars. I like how the music has both classic and pop elements.

“These days, the musical market is greatly diminishing, and I have great interest in original Korean musicals with global aims. Even though a lot of Korean movies and music have already advanced into the global market, there aren’t a lot of cases for Korean musicals. I felt that ‘Tears of Heaven’ was such a great musical that it could succeed internationally, which is why I decided to help in its investments.”

Not only is ‘Jekyll & Hyde‘ director Frank Wildhorn a part of the production staff, but the director of ‘Sweeney Todd‘, Gabriel Barre, has signed on as well. Worldwide famous musical star Brad Little will also be acting alongside Korean actors for ‘Tears of Heaven’>

[NEWS] 101210 JYJ's Junsu Cast in Leading Role for Musical "Tears of Heaven"

JYJ’s Junsu will be heading overseas next for the Great White Way, as he’s been casted for a leading role in the Broadway musical, “Tears of Heaven“.

Considered to be the ambitious work of Seol Company’s CEO, Seol Do Yoon, and Core Content Media’s Kim Gwang Su, the production revolves around a love triangle set during the Vietnam War between a Korean soldier, a female Vietnamese singer, and an American officer. Junsu has been casted for the role of ‘Jun Hyung’, the Korean soldier that falls in love with the Vietnamese singer, ‘Lin’. ‘Jun Hyung’ later becomes a famous composer and the father to his daughter that he had with Lin.

Seol Company reportedly set aside $10 million USD for production costs alone. The musical is scheduled to open for December 27th in Korea, and will run for a month there before being taken overseas to Japan and Europe. A performance in the States by 2012 has been pinned as their ultimate goal.

Representatives of Seol Company revealed on December 10th, “We cannot give a confirmation statement right now regarding the cast line-up. All final casting decisions will be made public at the production conference to be held on the 13th. By February, this musical will be performed all over Asia, including Japan and Hong Kong. The ultimate goal is Broadway.”

Composer Frank Wildhorn of “Dracula” and “Jekyll & Hyde” will be producing the songs, while Junsu will be working alongside Broadway star Brad Little.

[TRANS] 100917 Fans' Support to Junsu's Musical

This is the second fans support planned by PicnicXiah (Junsu's Korean fansite) for Junsu's musical, the day after Avex released the official statement to suspend JYJ's activities in Japan.

This time there were more people gathered for rehearsal.

We brought different types of simple food there during the rest time.

There are delicious rice balls which are suitable to eat whether in a warm sunny day or during the freezing cold weather and beautiful cupcakes . ^^

The beverage includes soft drinks, mate tea, lemon juice and so on.

When the staff opened the door to bring the food in, we heard Junsu's singing voice!

It sounded like a song in Elizabeth, it is really high pitched~~~ Such a coincidence that the part we heard was before the end of the song.

After the ending, all the actors bestowed him with thunderous applause.

TT TT TT TT Even the actors were all clapping their hands, not to mention us who brought the food there, we were applausing while standing TT TT TT TT

The staff and actors told Junsu, 'Please enjoy it~'

Junsu answered 'Okay~!!!', his mood seemed quite good, the atmopshere in the practise room was great too~

After they finished the food, the person who came out to greet us included the actors and director, as well as our main character Junsu!!! He suddenly showed up to greet us~

(Recently Junsu seems to exercise a lot, his muscles are attractive!!! TT.T)

We initially worried that Junsu might feel depressed due to the incident happened yesterday, but we were relieved when we saw his bright smile and the way he talked~

We only believe Junsu and we will support him with all our efforts. It is enough by doing so! ^.^

Musical Concert FIGHTING! XIAH JUNSU FIGHTING!

The following is Junsu's reply to the supportive postcard gave by PicnicXiah.

Junsu worried the fans will feel more fatigue than them so he wrote such message to us.

What we can do now, is to believe Junsu and continue to support him.

Message from PicnicXiah to Junsu

To: Genius Junsu who born like a star

Junsu ah, FIGHTING!

Everything will be alright. ^.^

The person with true ability is able to smile constantly, isn't it?

If we can't avoid it, then just enjoy it!

Junsu's reply

Seems to be too envious of us...

Even so, we will become stronger ^.^

Will always be thankful to you.

[Trans] 100903 Musical Composer Lee Gihieh Defends Kim Junsu In Tweet

I feel as though there are a lot of musical fans who are disappointed by the …
I can understand why they feel that way, but as someone who didn’t know a single TVXQ song before and had tears streaming down my face during his Mozart performance, I support him.
I was really moved by his sincerity and charisma.

Replies to tweets sent by others
Setting aside Kim Junsu’s talent, maybe it’s because they put his name on the title of the concert like it’s his solo concert even though he’s not the only one participating?
“That… is EMK’s marketing strategies… I’m just saying that I support Kim Junsu.. hehe”

I think the biggest reason why musical fans are disappointed is because of EMK’s marketing. hehe”
“Yes, that’s why I can understand why they feel that way. Honestly, wouldn’t I even feel a little annoyed? ^^ But I still like Kim Junsu. hehehe”

I can’t understand why they’re so sensitive about it.. They make it sound like the other musical actors are going to be pushed to the back. I feel as though people wouldn’t be saying such things if Junsu wasn’t playing the lead role;;;
“I probably won’t be going… but I still like Junsu and I want to support him. hehe And no matter how much money you give to musical actors, they wouldn’t participate if they didn’t want to. It’s not like anyone is forcing them to perform. I think if people are fans of musicals, then they should respect an actor’s decision…”

Thank you T_T Who’s disappointed in the concert~ Watch him perform and then try complaining… huh??
“Ah ^^; You must be a fan of Kim Junsu. There are a lot of top musical actors who praise Junsu… After watching Mozart, I started searching for TVXQ songs hehe I didn’t know much about them before because I don’t watch that much TV. I think that he’s someone who is very talented at delivering emotions in his songs!

[TRANS] 100901 Junsu's Musical Concert Sells Out In 20 Minutes

The first performance of the 'Kim Junsu Musical Concert -Levay With Friends' was completely sold out in 20 minutes and once again showed off the ticket of power of Kim Junsu (Xiah Junsu).

According to EMK Musical, "When the tickets were released on reservation site Interpark at 9pm on the 1st, all the floor seats were sold out in 90 seconds and then all the rest of the seats were sold out in 20 minutes." It was said later that the large influx of fans also caused the server to crash, which caused great confusion.

This concert, which began when Mozart!'s composer Sylvester Levay gave Kim Junsu a love call, is said to be a high quality performance with the composer himself participating actively by conducting the orchestra and playing the piano.

EMK Musical said, "As there aren't many opportunities to hold a musical concert at the Sports Stadium, the biggest concert arena in Korea, we will create a performance that will appeal to the masses and introduce those who are unfamiliar with musicals to the genre."

Many have their attention focused on Kim Junsu, who has been praised for his possibilities as a musical actor, and he will be joined by top musical actors such as Shin Young Suk, Bae Hae Sun, Park Eun Tae and Jung Seon Ah.

[TRANS] 100709 Xiah Junsu on KBS Joy TV News – Musical "Mozart!"

Brief translation - please note that this video has many cuts

Title: How skilled idols have to be to start in a musical?

Question: Are the last musicals with idols receiving the highest rating?
Won JungWon – Suncheon National Univ. Professor, Journalism Dep. – Musical Critic
The most succesfull example is Mozart with Xiah Junsu whose singing is very good but he also gives a great feeling looking at him on stage. If you received a lot of love, then on stage, you create/produce really mature/perfect things (performance).

Yu HuiSeong – Musicals “Mozart – Passing Rain – Midnight Sun” producers.
At least to some extent, (In the case of idols) all the acting, the dancing, the singing they do and what friends think, actually auditions are still a way to verify (the skills level).

Title: Idols didn’t not receive good praising for the acting. (cut?)

Casting an idol.
YHS: Casting idols group is the main reason of the great popularity and also due to this popularity among friends, I’m availabe to work much more (with them). It has a good effect/influence. I think we will pay (the idols) higher to take a role if it’s necessary. I think it’s no a big problem once they provide a such ticket selling power.

Question: How is the actual salary of idols?
YHS: SeungRi (Big Bang), TaeYeon (SNSD), JaeJin (FT Island) musical actors got almost the same. But I believe that only Xiah Junsu got a little higher than I thought.

[TRANS] 100625 'Musicaldols' How Far Have They Come? with Lee Gyung Mi

You appeared in Mozart! with Xiah Junsu. How was he?
He did really well. Out of the four people who played the lead role in, he was the first to memorize all of his lines, blocking and lyrics. He would work hard during rehearsals and he had a strong foundation of determination to work off of. A couple of days ago, I heard that he won the Best Male Newcomer Award for 'The Musical Awards', and I worried that people who hadn't seen his shows properly would devalue his achievement and call it 'an award that caters to popularity'. My role (Mrs. Weber) was a villain who torments Mozart, but his acting was so good that I felt bad for tormenting him. I told him that I wanted him to keep acting. He himself said that he wants to keep doing musicals.

Are all idol stars like that?
Not at all. Aside from Xiah Junsu, I heard that Yesung from NamHanSanSung worked very hard as well. I also heard that Daesung and Seungri did well in Cats and Rain Shower respectively. I heard that although Jessica was lacking in preparation time, she had a desire to perform in the musical. These are the most unfortunate cases; they have plenty of drive, but lack the necessary circumstances to succeed.

It seems that not many idol stars appear in licensed musicals. Cats, Mozart, and Legally Blonde seem to be it? Why is that?
With big productions, foreign staff from overseas come for the audition process. People are never cast just because they are idol stars in these situations. Therefore, there is a chance that idol stars may not get the part. So entertainment agencies usually don't let the idol stars audition in the first place because of this.
