On May 11th, stars performed at the congratulatory music concert for KBS’s “INPUT 2011 Seoul“.
The conference is a four-day long event that brings together representatives from around the world for discussions ranging from public television and the 21st century, to 3D-TV and the future of broadcast television.
The concert was broadcasted live on the same day, and boasted a line-up of Insooni, TVXQ, SNSD, 4minute, CNBLUE, Kim Tae Woo, Lim Tae Kyung, Song Sohee and many others.
JYJ appeared personally on the studio of KBS News Time’s live broadcast in the morning of the 30th of December. They talked about their recent situation and plans for the future, finishing their first broadcast with deep emotions.
With today’s broadcast as a start, JYJ will be appearing in tomorrow’s KBS Drama awards and will be singing the OST of SungKyunKwan Scandal, a KBS 2 Drama in which member Yoochun is the lead actor.
JYJ delighted fans by appearing on a public broadcast for the first time.
On the morning of December 30th, the trio joined KBS’s “News Time“, and shared their gratitude on being able to make the appearance, as well as discussing their future goals.
Juggling their individual schedules and preparations for another world tour, the members were asked if they had time to celebrate Christmas. They answered, “We really just only drank!”
When questioned on issues due to an ongoing dispute, the members replied: “We’re not going to say that we’ll be able to solve the many problems that lie between a celebrity and its agency. We’re still trying to direct everything towards a positive path, and although we’re not sure what the outcome will be, we’d like for all celebrities to be able to work in a good environment and system.”
JYJ will be appearing on KBS’s “Live News Time” on December 30th.
Prain representatives spoke with Star News and revealed on the 28th, “The trio of JYJ will be appearing on KBS’s news program for the 30th at 8 AM in order to talk about their U.S. activities and show their determination for the new year.”
Continued news of the trio’s broadcast appearances have been delighting fans, especially with their upcoming Korean album release, which contains songs written entirely by them.
A world tour is currently in discussion for their international promotions.
Last week, JYJ’s first broadcast appearance in Korea via KBS’s “2010 Drama Awards” was reported to be under discussion.
Recently, a representative from KBS’s drama team confirmed on December 14th that JYJ will be performing “Found You” – a track from the “Sungkyunkwan Scandal” OST – for December 31st.
Representatives of JYJ and KBS were said to have argued over the number of songs to be performed in the beginning, but both sides ended up agreeing to KBS’s initial request for a one-song congratulatory performance.
JYJ met with various obstacles in October after the release of their debut album, “The Beginning“, due to legal issues with SM Entertainment. Yet KBS came forward and requested their appearance, reasoning that Yoochun was one of the leading stars for its drama “Sungkyunkwan Scandal”, and that JYJ sang the OST for it.
This performance may allow future opportunities for the boys to perform in additional public venues.
JYJ, whose three members are formerly from the group TVXQ, have been nominated to perform at the ’2010 KBS Drama Acting Awards’.
Lee Kang Hyun, the KBS Drama EP, met with our reporter at a restaurant in Seoul on the 7th and stated, “It is true that JYJ have been written down for consideration as singers invited to perform at the 2010 KBS Drama Acting Awards,” but kept cautious as he said, “However, it has not been confirmed or finalized yet.”
Following this, he explained that, “If JYJ do appear on stage, they will sing one song just like all the other singers,” and “JYJ’s side asked if JYJ could sing two songs, the ‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’ O.S.T ‘Found You’ and another group piece, but they cannot sing more than one song as we must keep it fair for all singers.”
KBS Drama Acting Awards Representative States, “JYJ’s Appearance Is Virtually Set..
We’re Currently Deciding On The Number Of Songs”
It has been found that the appearance of group JYJ, comprised of Park Yoochun, Kim Jaejoong and Kim Junsu, in the 2010 KBS Drama Acting Awards is virtually set.
A high-position representative in the KBS drama sector basically set off the countdown to JYJ’s first TV appearance when he said, “Though it has not been confirmed 100% that JYJ will perform a celebratory number at the awards ceremony, we are currently deciding upon the number of songs JYJ will sing with their side.”
This representative continued to explain that, “We pushed forward with this celebratory performance by JYJ as Yoochun left quite an impression on everyone with his acting in the KBS2 drama ‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’ and as the drama’s theme song ‘Found You’, sung by JYJ, had a positive reception from viewers.”
It has been said that the two sides are deciding whether JYJ should be allowed to sing one song or two or more songs.
If JYJ are able to stand on stage at the KBS Drama Acting Awards, this will be their first domestic TV appearance since the formation of their group.
Though the trio, from the group TVXQ, released their first album ‘The Beginning’ in October, they have not been able to actively perform due to their problems with SM Entertainment.
JYJ’s troubles escalated when the Korean Federation of Pop Culture and Art Industry sent an official document to broadcasting and cable companies, as well as online and offline album distribution companies, urging them to restrict JYJ’s activities. This was the reason why JYJ’s celebratory performance at the Blue Dragon Film Awards on the 26th fell through at the last minute.
Fans are highly anticipating this appearance at the KBS Drama Acting Awards as this may be the catalyst that allows JYJ to appear on TV broadcasting companies’ shows in Korea.
On the other hand, JYJ are currently on a break after their ‘Worldwide Concert in Seoul’ that was held at the Jamshi Olympic Stadium on the 27th and 28th.
Korean boy band JYJ, composed of former TVXQ members Jaejung, Yuchun and Junsu, will likely take the stage at the 2010 KBS Drama Awards, making it the first time they will perform on television since debuting as a trio.
"It's not 100% confirmed as of yet but we in currently in talks with JYJ for a congratulatory performance during the 2010 KBS Drama Awards," a high-ranking official from KBS said. "It would be great if they performed the song 'Calling You' from the drama 'SungKyunKwan Scandal' since Yuchun gave such a memorable performance in the drama."
He went onto explain that they are fine-tuning on several details including how many songs JYJ will sing at the awards ceremony.
Jaejung, Yuchun and Junsu made their debut in 2004 as part of the popular boy band TVXQ, but despite their phenomenal success in Asia, they ceased their activities as a group after being involved in a legal dispute with the Korean agency SM Entertainment.
They made a comeback to the music scene in October as a trio under the name JYJ and released their worldwide studio album "The Beginning" on October 14, kicking off their global showcase to promote their album and themselves in Seoul and the United States.
JYJ recently held two series of show titled the "JYJ Worldwide Concert in Seoul" at the Main Olympic Stadium in Jamsil last month.
For two months from late August, Yuchun had starred in KBS' 20-episode series "SungKyunKwan Scandal" alongside cast members Park Min-young, Song Joong-ki and Yoo A-in. The show fared moderately well, posting ratings in the mid-ten percent range toward the end of its run.

In contrast to earlier reports, new information has stated that JYJ’s scheduled performance in this year’s KBS ‘Drama Awards‘ has not yet been confirmed.
“It is true that we are sharing discussions in a positive manner, however, at the moment, the final decision for their performance has not been confirmed. We have not yet received a final word from KBS,” explained a JYJ representative.
An associate of the KBS ‘Drama Awards’ also came forth to state, “It is true that we are negotiating their performance for Park Yoochun’s ‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’. However, it is currently not a confirmed situation.”
The new KBS drama with F4 from Joseon Dynasty that already gathered a lot of attention: Sungkyunkwan scandal. I met the gang of 4 boys over flower. Let’s start now.
Kimbum, Kim HyunJoong, Lee Minho and Lee Joon. Did Jeoson Dynasty got the F4 syndrome from last year and create it again? At the end of this month, the new boys over flower will be aired.
Yesterday, new KBS drama “Sungkyunkwan scandal” started the briefing of this amazing production. The 4 made their entrance wearing hangbok. What a heartwarming sight~ (talks about the drama story)
Question: Were you a friendly “Flower gang of 4″? Yoochun: I think that because we have similar age, we get closer really fast, more than with the others from the cast. As a member of Asian group TVXQ, Yoochun is already loved a lot. This time, he’s in the acting path and will perform Lee SeonJun in Joseon Dynasty.
Question: Did you have any problem by taking this challenge? (acting) Yoochun: There was no pressure but I think I had a lot of fun when there where changes. Question: Do you have acting experience? Yoochun: Yeah.. sure I do..
Pretty confused at his words? So I prepared. This is a scene from Yoochun Japanese drama “Beautiful Love”. What to do? Doesn’t he naturally look like a Japanese ambassador?
Question: What about reactions around you? Yoochun: My close friends (who saw it) are really few. Those who did, most of them told me they liked it a lot.
Park MinYoung, from sitcom “High Kick” (…)
Question: What is it acting with handsome men? MinYoung: I think they are really nice people whom I liked acting with… now we are just friends.. Question: Who’s the nicest one? JoongGi: Last time I bought to eat. MinYoung: He bought dinner once. Him (Yoochun) also once.. But I don’t think AhIn ever did
Yoo AhIn, please buy to eat! In 2008, Song JoongKi debuted in a movie (…)
Question: Did you have hard time while filming? JoongKi: Wearing a hangbok with this hot weather was so hard. But I think that viewers will enjoy seeing those pretty costumes.
Omona, let’s see how beautiful! JoongKi dressed in traditional costumes and shows beauty, he’s really more beautiful than flower. 4 people with same age, the acting competition will be great.
Question: Is there any rivalry? Yoochun: Since we are partners, it was easy to tell hard feelings and also to accept it (???). I don’t think there was rivalry. Question: Honestly, there was no sign of rivalry? (look at JoongKi who was about to answer LOL) MinYoung: No they didn’t. This is my point of view as the woman among them .. JoonKi: Ok now, I got heels (to kick her ass? ^^). Really, I’ve been trying to talk!
JoonKi: Dear Entertainment Notebook viewers, until now, you were watching the gang of 4 from SKKS. Everyone: Please, give a lot of love to Sungkyunkwan Scandal!
KBS2 drama Sungkyunkwan Scandal through their website is holding a “Sungkyunkwan Scandal Nickname” competition, until the 16th.
