Japanese TVXQ fans swarm Changmin’s movie set & delay filming

After the recent announcement regarding TVXQ‘s Changmin making his Japanese film debut with the upcoming movie, ‘Run with the Gold‘, fans recently swarmed the movie set, temporarily halting filming activities for the day.

As earlier reported, ‘Run with the Gold’ is inspired by Takamura Kaoru’s debut novel about a group of men from the streets of Osaka that race to steal bars of gold. In addition to Changmin’s lead role, this film is gaining widespread attention for starring Tsumabuki Satoshi, Asano Tadanobu, and Nishida Toshiyuki.

On February 2nd, Tsumabuki Satoshi posted a message on Twitter from the movie set, updating everyone on the current status of the production.

"In the middle of filming. The schedule is quite difficult, the budget is tight, and the staff members and actors must run on very little sleep in order to film this movie. We’re all sacrificing a lot for the production of this film, so please give us support so that we can complete this film."

Later on, the popular actor continued,

"The filming was delayed 2-3 hours due to my mediocre acting."

However, on-site fans who were present at that day’s filming revealed that the delay was also caused by the influx of TVXQ fans that attended the filming.

Apparently, a Cassiopeia who was present at the film set that day shared on her Twitter that Changmin was working that day, causing a wild influx of fans to make their way to the film set. The crowd of Changmin fans that arrived and pushed into the small store where the event was taking place forced staff to put that day’s filming schedule on hold.

After the chaotic event took place, the Changmin fans apologized for disturbing the set on Twitter and other social networking sites. “Tsumabuki, staff members and director, I’m so sorry that we fans caused a problem,” one said, while another wrote, “Tsumabuki, I was one of the fans who attended the filming today. Please excuse what occurred.”

JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong to hold an independent fan meeting in Turkey

JYJ member Kim Jaejoong (26) will be holding an independent fan meeting in Turkey on February 5th (local time).

On February 3rd, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism revealed that Jaejoong would be holding his fan meeting at Ankara University in Turkey.

This fan meet will be a good way to help spread Hallyu awareness and enhance cultural exchanges between the two countries. Tickets for the fan meeting were sold as a first come, first served basis and tickets for all 600 seats sold out on the Korean Embassy in Ankara website within half an hour.

“We could see the effect of Hallyu in Turkey, as more than 2,000 people applied to attend the fan meeting within a few hours,” the Embassy said. “We received incessant phone calls from people who did not get selected.”

Leading Turkish newspaper Milliyet also reported about the fan meeting on February 1st, and introduced not only Jaejoong but JYJ as a whole in much detail.

A Korean drama aired in Turkey for the very first time in 2005, and there has been significant interest in K-pop and Korean culture ever since.

Turkey also is home to a fan club entitled ‘Korea Fans’, which currently has over 40,000 active members

JYJ’s Kim Junsu Says, “What Scares Me Most About Our First South American Concert Is…”

JYJ’s Kim Junsu recently expressed his anticipation for the group’s upcoming concerts in Peru and Chile in March.

Kim Junsu met with reporters and stated, “This is the first time in five years that I’m going to South America since visiting Rio de Janeiro in 2007 for a commercial. At that time, I only stayed for four or five days so I wasn’t able to see much while I was there,” and “My anticipation for our upcoming concerts there is as high as it could possibly be as we’ll work with passionate people in a new environment.“

His increased anticipation is partially due to the fact that he recently experienced the passion of fans from a similar culture through JYJ’s concert in Spain. He was deeply moved by the fact that fans were not merely spectators, but participants who were enjoying themselves.

Kim Junsu let out a long sigh as he said, “If there’s one thing that scares me, it’s the duration of the flight,” and “Last time, I think it took me more than 15 hours to get to Brazil with a stopover in Paris. I was told that it would take even longer this time around.”

The singer ended the interview with the statement, “As these South American concerts are the last leg of JYJ’s world tour, I think we’ll be able to provide the most complete performance we’ve ever given of everything we’ve done till now. We promise to visit our fans in other countries of the Central and South American region, such as Brazil and Mexico, someday.“

Meanwhile, JYJ will be holding solo concerts in Chile and Peru on the 9th and 11th of March respectively and Kim Junsu will begin performing in the musical ‘Elisabeth’ on the 9th of February.
