[NEWS] 091211 Fellow HTTG Actress Yoon Yeo-jung Talks About Yunho

- omitted -

10: When you're acting with younger actors, it seems that you manage to create more of a romantic tension than make the relationship into one between a mother and son. You did it with Daniel Choi in TV series "The World that they Live In" and with TVXQ member U-Know Yunho in drama "No Limit".
Yoon: The producer had intended on it from the beginning in the case of "No Limit". He kept making Yun-ho call me "Aeja-ssi" [similar to Miss. Aeja] but there is no way it could've been easy for him since it was his first try at acting. The producer had to end up telling Yun-ho to think that he was dating a grandmother. Yun-ho is the type that will work very hard just as he's told so he would call me whenever he has time, saying 'Aeja-ssi, it's Yun-ho' or 'Aeja-ssi, did you eat?'. Of course, he doesn't call me that anymore but he calls me time to time. I asked him if he wanted to come to our screening and he really did. I thank him for that.

[NEWS] 091208 Too Many People On At Once Causes Three Members’ Charity Fanmeeting Ticket Reservation Site To Crash

The fanmeet of TVXQ’s Xiah Junsu, YoungWoong Jaejoong and Micky Yoochun is garnering explosive popularity.

The server of Yes24 crashed when the site opened ticket reservations for the charity fanmeet that is to be held on the 12th at 8 pm.

The three members will be greeting their fans at the Love Sharing Meeting ‘Smile Again’ at Koryeo University’s Hwajung Gymnasium. This event that will last around an hour will be a large fan meeting capable of holding more than 5000 people.

Yes24 officially stated the three members’ attendance and said, “‘Smile Again’, which works with a children’s organization, was created to gift the fans with happy times from creating memories with Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu through a charitable event.”

This event is free of charge and all the money that is collected from donations will be given to a children’s organization. ‘Smile Again’ will be an event held by only the three members, there will be no guest appearances. Donation boxes will be set up around the gymnasium and all the money will be donated.

As the three members submitted a provisional disposition against SM Entertainment, and the dispute is yet to be solved, it will be hard for all five members to attend the fan meeting.

Many are wondering when TVXQ will return to all stand on one stage together in Korea as U-Know Yunho and Choikang Changmin returned to Korea from Japan separately from the other three members after finishing their Japanese schedule.

Korea University, Hwajeong Gymnasium, Free Charity Fanmeeting

The 3 TVXQ members in legal dispute is having their solo activities in Korea by holding a surprise charity fanmeeting.

This is the first fanmeeting held by the 3 members who in last July submitted provisional disposition application against the exclusive contract effect to their label, SM Entertainment therefore the event is gathering a lot of attention. Junsu, Yoochun, and Jaejoong on the coming 12th at 5:00 p.m at Hwajeong Gymnasium in Korea University, Seoul will have this individual activity and about 6,000 TVXQ fans are able to attend the fanmeeting.

At Yes24, the subject of the event is entitled as “Smile Again” under the name of three members and the fanmeeting also carries the nature as charity event. At the venue entrance, there will be a fundraising to collect voluntary donations from visitors to help the needy children. The three members in participation is planning to deliver the full amount gathered from this fanmeeting to the UNICEF.

It’s been confirmed that TVXQ songs as a group will not be used in this event. The representativeness of the three members in last November ‘2009 MAMA’ had raised a sensitive conflict and a rule about partial representative is being interpreted. The name of TVXQ can only be used when the 5 members are together, and if only three members being active in representing TVXQ, then the remaining two members are able to make complain.

(Hwajeong Gymnasium)

Therefore, there’s a specific information being announced that during the event, TVXQ’s song won’t be sung, and the charity event title will not mention the name of TVXQ. The event is planned to have 1 hour talk show with the fans, and is going to be filled with Christmas Carol.

The official from the event said, “The date and location are already confirmed, but the time and information is still tentative. After the three members finish their schedule in Japan and arrive back to Korea, then we’ll start to coordinate the specific details.”

The advance ticket sales of ‘Smile Again’ will start via the official website Yes24 starting December 8th at 8 pm, the ticket is free, and one person can only get one ticket.

[TRANS] 091204 Xiah Junsu Village In Cambodia Is Created

A village that has adopted TVXQ's Xiah Junsu's name in Cambodia has been created titled 'Xiah Junsu Village'.

International organization AdraKore began building houses and improving living conditions for the poor in a village just an hour away from Phnom Penh.

This aid for the poor received a lot of help from TVXQ's Xiah Junsu and his fanclub who donated money to the organization last year. The fanclub members decided to give a thoughtful present by collecting donations and giving a fraction of it to AdraKorea.

AdraKorea began building houses for the poor who lived in unstable conditions and improved living environments to protect children from unexpected natural or man-made disasters and the organization was able to do this thanks to Xiah Junsu and his fanclub.

30 houses were reconstructed. Most of these houses were worn down and were made of banana or palm leaves. The ceilings and walls had been slowly disintegrating so whenever it rained, families were sure to get wet. However, these houses have been changed into warm, safe havens.

Jin Hana, who is currently helping out with the project in Cambodia, said, "When it rained at night, families had to move around to find a place where the rain or the wind couldn't get to, or they had to sleep leaning against the wall on an unstable bamboo floor. The children are now able to sleep safely and soundly."

Volunteer Shin Sung Eun said, "The people here don't know who TVXQ is, but they are very thankful that people far away in Korea have sent them donations of love," and "People here call this village the 'Xiah Junsu village.'"

Shin Won Seok, the secretary-general of Adra, stated, "We would like to thank Xiah Junsu and his fanclub for teaching us once more that giving helps people in need and makes the world a brighter place," and "Their love helped those in need in the global community."

[NEWS] 091125 Mozart to be Portrayed as Modern Rock Star

By Chung Ah-young
Staff Reporter

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a fascinating figure whose life has been covered in various films and theater arts. Now the beloved musician will be recreated in the Korean rendition of the Austrian musical “Mozart!” which will be presented by EMK Musical Company in Seoul early next year.

This time, the genius musician will once again be the center of the work, but, besides classical music, he’ll also be accompanied by rock ‘n’ roll. The muscial’s Grammy Award-winning composer, Sylvester Levay, said that he decided to write a musical about Mozart’s life rather than his music with his writing partner Michael Kunze.


Grammy Award-winning composer Sylvester Levay,
who wrote the musical “Mozart!,” talks to The Korea Times
about recreating the musician into a modernday rock star.

Musical Company

“We decided to use his music only at some certain points but most of the time, the rest of the music is our works. We also put rock ‘n’ roll parts in it. So we can represent a nowadays Mozart. I think maybe when he was alive he could have been one of the rock ‘n’ roll stars in the world,” Levay said in an e-mail interview with The Korea Times.

In the musical, Mozart will dress like a rock star, a distinct contrast from the other characters, who are clad in 18th-century costumes.

The Hungarian composer collaborated with Kunze on other musicals, including “Elizabeth” and “Rebecca,” which were well received in Europe and Japan.

From there, they sat down and mulled over how to dissect a famous person’s life. They wanted to create a similar musical to “Elizabeth,” which focused on the main character’s life rather than her successful career. “That touched the audience and was a success. Like this, ‘Mozart!’ was also made about his life. He is very well known as a genius composer but he was also a human. The scene where he has a conflict with his father shows that Michael Kunze and I focused on the life of the person, and a human Mozart,” he said.

To better immerse himself in Mozart’s world, Levay tried to get a sense of how the Austrian composer felt by looking at his body of work. Levay visited where Mozart used to live and read many books on him.

“Also, I tried not to work continuously but also rest for several weeks and come back to the studio and listen to the work I had done. Once I felt this was the right music, then I used it, but if not, I just said ‘no’ to the music,” the composer said.

Levay said that Mozart also had a good sense of humor and was open-minded.
“I looked at more than a thousand of his works and read thousands of books about him. This actually made me connect with him a little bit closer. Also, I tried to feel the emotion he had while he wrote his songs,” he said.

The 64-year-old composer said that telling about his life through his music was the most pleasurable thing. “But the most difficult aspect was thinking, ‘What if I tell his musical life in the wrong way?’ It was a very challenging work to do,” said Levay.

Localizing foreign musicals is another difficult task due to the language difference, the composer said. Levay said that he constantly tells cast members from certain countries to feel the lyrics rather than reading them.

“I have felt that the quality of the Korean artists is very high. They are the best cast members I have seen so far. Also, the EMK production is well organized so I think the Korean version of ‘Mozart!’ will be of high quality, too,” he said.

Levay lived in Hollywood and concentrated on composing music for films from 1980 to 2000. His most famous and popular work was written for the mid-1980s U.S. TV action series “Airwolf” (1984-1986). Since the 1990s, Levay has dedicated himself to musicals.


Poster for musical “Mozart!,” which will go on stage from

Jan. 20 to Feb. 21 at Sejong Center for the Performing

Arts in downtown Seoul.

For the Korean rendition, musical heartthrobs Im Tae-kyung, Park Gun-hyung and Jo Sung-mo will alternate playing Mozart.

The musical will be staged from Jan. 20 to Feb. 21 at Sejong Center for the Performing Arts. Tickets cost from 30,000 to 130,000 won. For more information, call (02) 6391-6333 or visit www.musicalmozart.co.kr.
