Junho – JYJ Junsu’s Twin Brother To Debut In Japan In August

It was revealed that Junho, the older twin brother of JYJ’s Junsu will be making his Japan debut in August 2011. Also, a photobook will be released in July, before his debut, and it was announced that he will be performing at “Girl’s Award” on 29 April.

Although you can feel the image of his younger brother Junsu from his looks, standing at a height of 188cm, with body proportions that were honed from his days as a baseball player, Junho shows a distinctly different charm as compared to his younger brother. In 2008, Junho appeared in a Korean variety show, and attracted attention for his activities as a CF model.


After being forced to retire from baseball due to an injury, he made his official debut in China in 2010. With the announcement, he held debut showcases all over Asia, including Japan. In the Chinese music industry, he won the Best Newcomer Award for the “2009 Music King – World Chinese Music Awards Ceremony” In March 2010, he released his first album “Nothing to lose” in China, and sold approximately 50,000 copies, going Platinum. In the same year, he also held fan-meetings all over China, and recorded a total audience of 20,000 people, with his fanclub in China boasting over 100,000 people. Also, in a popular Chinese mini-blog service, his follower numbers are currently at around 200,000 people.

In the meanwhile, with the intent to expand the locations of his activities, he signed a contract with Avex, which led to his Japan debut.

His Japanese debut single, which is scheduled to be released on 3 August, will be an original song, and the first time he has ever sung in Japanese. It will be a dance number that shows his well trained figure. The recording of this single will be done in Tokyo. Junho said, “I want to make a great piece of work together with the many staff,” and, although he had a lot of difficulty singing his first Japanese song, he had the right attitude and worked hard throughout the night for his recording.

“I’m really thankful for the continued support that everyone has been giving me. This time, through avex, I am really happy to have more chances to meet with everyone in Japan. I can feel the warmth of everyone’s heart, from the plentiful music that they have kindly provided me with. I want to use my own determination, and work towards the first step of making it into the Oricon top 10.” – Junho

Also, before the single is released, a photobook in the form of a road movie, detailing Junho’s time in Tokyo is scheduled for release in the later part of July. Also, he will be performing in the “Girls Award by CROOZ blog 2011 SPRING/SUMMER” which will be held on 29 April in the Yoyogi National Gymnasium together with ICONIQ、SDN48、JAMOSA、ZE:A、AAA、NERDHEAD feat Mai.K、Be-ppin and others.

“Because this is the first photobook in Japan, I have put my heart into it. Although I’m still not used to photoshoots, I worked hard, and put a lot of feeling into it, because I want to make a good product. The “Girl’s Award” is my first major performance in Japan, so I’m a little worried but, because I want to show a good performance, I am practicing very hard every day. I’m also enjoying myself as I do this, but please enjoy yourselves as well. i want to showcase an enthusastic performance and make it as enjoyable as possible. Because I am trying my best, please lend me your support.” – Junho
