Over 7,000 Japanese fans attend ’2012 JYJ Membership Week’ in Korea

Starting June 29th, the members of JYJ opened up their ‘2012 JYJ Membership Week‘ at the SETEC as their first fan service project sponsored by C-JeS Entertainment.
The project took four months of preparation and is chock full of JYJ related content that is accessible by fans who hold JYJ membership, for completely free.
The agency had announced previously that they had invited 7,024 Japanese fans to Korea just for this event. They kept their word and sure enough, the 7,024 fans left Japan on the 28th and 29th through 14 airports to make it to the event on the morning of the 29th. Fans were greeted by pictures, 3D videos, and other various booths upon arrival at the event.
One Japanese fan Utaka Kimie (49) expressed, “It’s an event that can’t be found in Japan. I was really touched by the amount of work that was put into it. I was disappointed because I couldn’t see JYJ as often in Japan so I’m thankful that such an event was created.”
Miyakawa Eri (28) stated, “I was so surprised to hear that everything was free. I feel like I’ve received an extravagant gift. I think I’ll be a fan of JYJ for life.”
CEO Baek Chang Joo also stated, “This exposition is an opportunity not only to put on display the works of JYJ but for fans to experience these things with them. I believe that we were greeted by twice the number of Japanese fans compared to other Hallyu events because the event was free and allowed participation to anyone that had the absolute minimum means.”
He continued, “I feel that there needs to be more variety in Hallyu content now that concerts have already built a foundation for itself. Events such as these create memories for fans, and artists can share their own stories with them.”
JYJ will be holding a fan meet event with the fans at the exposition on the 30th.

T-ara responds to the camera mishap during their ‘Music Bank’ performance

On the June 29th broadcast of ‘Music Bank’s half-year wrap up special, T-ara temporarily halted their preparations for their comeback with “Day by Day” to perform their hit song “Lovey Dovey“.
However, their broadcast of their performance did not go off without a hitch as the cameras suddenly cut to a scene of the empty corner stage, leaving the members out of the scene for a split second.
This is not ‘Music Bank’s first camera accident. Earlier this year, Brave Girls also met with a similar accident in which the camera captured the cameramen in floor below the stage. Furthermore, during Wonder Girl‘s comeback stage on June 8th, the camera also suddenly cut away from the members as they were giving their performance.
Fans commented, “I can’t see T-ara“, “”Music Bank’ continues to repeat the same mistakes“, “It’s been a while since I’ve seen T-ara so I am disappointed at ‘Music Bank’“, and “They need to be more cautious from now on“.
However, rather than being disappointed, T-ara and their management responded optimistically. “Before leaving for Japan again, the girls relayed a message of gratitude for the camera directors who worked hard for 12 hours in the midst of tension, and captured the beautiful moments of the girls, and asked them to continue capturing T-ara beautifully for their “Day by Day” stage as well,” said their agency.
