[News] JYJ sells 290,863 albums WITHOUT promoting on National TV or Radio!

2010 Gaon Chart (Korean Music Chart)

[How to read the chart :)]

1st column = ranking

2nd column = Album

3rd column = Artist

4th column = Record Label

5th column = Number of records sold

So, here’s the number of albums JYJ sold in Korea in 2010:

The Beginning (99,903) + The Beginning, Limited Edition (98,311) + The Beginning, Luxury Edition(92,649)

= 290,863 total sold for “The Beginning” Album

76,951 albums for” SGK Scandal”!

(It is really rare for a drama soundtrack album to sell that much! >.<)

So the boys are actually third in rank for their “The Beginning” album, right behind SNSD’s Oh!/Run Devil Run (197,934 + 136,851 = 334,785) and SJ’s “Bonamana” (200,193 + 99,355 = 299,548)

This is quite incredible since 1) the album is entirely in English and 2) the boys had ABSOLUTELY NO promotional appearances on TV OR Radio! In fact, their songs from “the Beginning” were NEVER played on national TV or radio. (urgh. curse you SM)

All I can say is, GO JYJ!!!

We’re still strong and no obstacle from any corrupt individuals is going to stop us!

Transcript of what was said during the interview :)

[Announcer]

Fanclubs of celebrities are also participating in making donations to charities.

What are some of the ways that fanclubs are giving back to our neighbors?

Suh Haeyeon reporter has the story.

[VCR]

This is Group JYJ’s concert.

Amongst the many fans filling the seats, you can notice fans in their thiries and forties who are known as “aunt fans.”

Today, instead of attending another concert, Park Yuchun’s “Aunt Fanclub” members are visiting the pediatric ward in the National Cancer Center.

Here, teenage girls faces are brightened as they meet Park Yuchun.

After raising ten million KRW through their fan club members’ donations, the aunt fans have visited the children at the cancer center with their celebrity in order to help them.

[interview] Hong Ineh, President of Park Yuchun Aunt fanclub

“Most of our members are mothers and raise children. As people who are raising chidren, it really hurts are hearts [seeing children suffer with cancer]…”

The aunt fans have already raised 25 million KRW and donated in the name of their star.

[Interview] Park Yuchun

“I’m very thankful of the fact that they would use my name to donate and support [the cancer center] just because they love me.”

(omit)

Fanclubs are donating their endless love.

Their love for their stars is extending to their love for their neighbors.

Reporting from MBC News, this is Suh Haeyeon.

[News] JYJ’s Music Essay was ranked #1 in the Best Sellers List immediately following its release

Posted in News, tagged 3 : JYJ, Bestsellers, JaeJung, JunSu, kpop, Kyobo, Music Essay, our story, THEIR ROOMS, YuChun on February 8, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

Popular music group JYJ’s Music Essay,『THEIR ROOMS our story』, was ranked #1 in the Comprehensive Bestseller List immediately following its release. JYJ’s Music Essay had gathered great attention since its online pre-sales and, thanks to the popularity of the boy idol group, jumped ahead of Professor Kim Nando’s “It’s Youth Because it Hurts” to become the #1 bestseller. According to the sale charts, 95% of the readers were women, and was popular amongst (from most popular to least) women in their twenties, thirties, and forties. The Essay contains not only songs written by members of JYJ, but also essays that were personally written by the three members and a photo diary which holds their everyday lives. It seems like the Essay will become a treasured New Years gift for JYJ fans.
