It’s beyond “Sports Idol.” One member is personally doing hat tricks as a soccer player running across the field, and another member is working as the director of a rhythmic gymnastic gala show. It’s an enthusiastic action beyond the level of hobby or appearance as a friend. Idol group JYJ from DBSK’s active crossover into sports is catching people’s attention.
JYJ’s Cross-over into Sports
JYJ is participating as a member of Park Jisung’s charity soccer Asian Dream Cup, which will be held on June 15th at Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. After participating as a coaching staff in boyhood clinic on the 14th, they are scheduled to perform on 15th, the day of the game, at half-time. Being passionate soccer-lovers and fans of Park Jisung, JYJ themselves volunteered for participation despite their busy world tour schedule.
Furthermore, JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong recently transformed into the director for Sohn Yeonjae’s rhythmic gymnastics gala show. Kim Jaejoong, who showed off his touch as the overall director for JYJ’s Asia Tour, is participating as the director of ‘LG Whisen Rhythmic All Stars 2011’ which will be held on June 11~12th at the special stage in Hwajung Gymnastics of Korea University. It’s become known that he is involved in directing all parts [of the performance], including music selection and arrangement, stage effects, choreography, and costume styling. He is showing great passion for his new job as a director, personally watching various rhythmic gymnastics videos to separately learn about the sport and thinking about ways to combine popular appeal with artistic expression. Because Son Yeonjae returned on the 17th after completing her appearance in the World Cup series for three years straight and JYJ is currently in Canada for the North American Tour which begins on the 20th, the director and the athlete have not yet met. Kim Jaejoong and Son Yeonjae is exchanging opinions for the best performance through JYJ’s choreography team leader’s e-mail. (more…)
