'Superstar K' to hold auditions overseas

The popular cable show modeled after “American Idol” will hold sessions in Tokyo, Sendai and Osaka, as well as Beijing and New York in June. Auditions for local talent are currently being held in eight locations around Korea.

“Superstar K” will hold auditions in Japan, China and the United States this summer to select contestants for the third season of the talent show, Mnet said Tuesday.

“We launched ‘Superstar K’ in order to give a chance to aspiring singers, mostly comprising of people who have wanted to sing but didn’t have the opportunity to do so. We decided to provide these services so that people can participate more easily,” said Kim Ki-woong, director of “Superstar K.”

Last season’s “Superstar K” created a sensation as John Park, a Korean-American who appeared in “American Idol,” took part in the competition. The eventual winner, Huh Gak, a ventilator repairman, also became a household name. 

“Considering how travel remains difficult in eastern Japan after the earthquakes, we decided to go there ourselves,” said organizers of the program through a press release.

Participants in each city will take part in a two-part screening process. Contenders from Korea and Japan will compete against one another in a third round, while those that make the cut will vie in a fourth and final screening against participants from New York and Beijing. 

The latter, called “Super Week,” will be held in Seoul in August, and organizers will provide transportation and accommodation for those traveling from overseas as well as those from Jeju Island.

The program’s popularity spread overseas, particularly in Japan. Some 90 percent of applicants from the neighboring coutnry this year are Japanese, unlike the strong ethnic Korean demographics of hopefuls in Beijing and New York, said Mnet.

The winner will be entitled to a cash prize of $500,000, concert opportunities and a recording contract.

Updates on GDragon's injured leg from YGE

It has been revealed that although Big Bang’s G-Dragon has a cast on his leg, it’s not a major injury.

On May 16th, a YG Entertainment representative said,

“G-Dragon slightly sprained his leg during the concert. It is not a big injury. He is only wearing the half-cast during performances in case the injury might worsen while moving around. It is okay now. There is no need to worry.“

G-Dragon’s injury was made known by a tweet from MBC’s “Infinity Challenge” producer Kim Tae Ho. He tweeted about Big Bang’s Japanese concert, saying, “GD had a light cast on his right foot.”

While that tweet was made in response to a Big Bang fan, his response quickly informed netizens of G-Dragon’s injury.

Big Bang is currently on their “Love & Hope Tour” in Japan, hitting up Osaka, Nagoya, and Chiba.

a-nation Tokyo Part 3

This is by a Chinese fan who went to a-nation.


I went to a-nation yesterday. Since I live pretty far away and I had to go to a meeting at my University beforehand, I left home at around 8 in the morning. After I attended my meeting, I took a bus to Shinjuku from Shibuya and then took the Keio line to the venue. The stadium was around 10 minutes walk away and it was 1:30 by the time I finally arrived. This was my first time there and it felt a lot like Tokyo dome. Since my friend and I arrived pretty late, we were worried that all the merchandise might have sold out so we quickly hurried over to the stand. There was a really long line and up ahead we saw a sign that said "JYJ T-SHIRT SOLD OUT'. Apparently only the JYJ shirts had sold out, tshirts for other artists were still in stock. As we were waiting to get to the front of the line, I scanned the rest of the crowd. I was in such a hurry on my way in that I didn't really take a good look around, when I did, I realized that almost everyone around me had an orange towel around their necks with 'JUNSU JEJUNG YUCHUN' in big bold print. I felt really happy then because no matter where I went, I'd bump into people with orange towels, even fan boys. Because I was so late, the t-shirts, bows and totes had all sold out and I only managed to buy a towel and a fan. The fan had a cartoon version of JYJ, kawaii.


When I was done buying merchandise, it was 2. My friend and I hurried into the stadium, found seats and sat down. A sudden loud noise shocked us both and we saw that Koda Kumi was first up on stage. People started to get excited as she walked on. Koda Kumi's singing is absolutely amazing, the studio and live versions are exactly the same. The Bigeasts/Cassiopeia that were there cheered really loudly for her, probably because she takes good care of our Dong Bang boys. She sat on a vehicle and went around the stadium once, waving to people along the way. A few singers that I didn't know the name of followed after that. Since it was right in the afternoon, the heat really was quite unbearable so my friend and I decided to go out and wander around for a bit because we were both only here for JYJ anyway, it didn't really matter whether or not we saw the other performances. We bought shaved ice but were still really hot afterwards. We agreed to go back in after the sun set and so we went back in at about 4. More artists we didn't know the names of performed… We waited… and waited… During the break, the cameraman panned the camera on the audience. We saw a few cute kids but then the camera suddenly focused on a few JYJ light boards, they wrote 'JYJ We Love You'. At that moment, a thunderous round of applause sounded throughout the stadium and everyone enthusiastically cheered for the girl holding the board. Then the cameraman zoomed in on even more fans with JYJ signs and merchandise, and everytime he did, the audience would applaud. Looking around, the entire venue seemed to be covered in orange. My friend is a new fan and didn't really know how legit us Cassiopeia/Bigeasts are so she was completely awestruck. DBSK has so many fans it's kind of scary.


People started to get restless at 6:30 and many started taking out their red glowsticks. There even seemed to be more members of staff all of a sudden. One held up a sign which said 'No video/audio recording or photography, even mobile phone photography'. There were lots of staff around us watching our every move so we couldn't take any photos or film anything even if we wanted to. In front of me, a girl took a photo, but then got her camera confiscated and was told that it'd be returned after the concert. Despite this, I still managed to sneak in a few shots.


After a while, JYJ appeared on the big screen. All the red glow sticks came on around the stadium and the screams hit peak. Cassiopeia/Bigeast completely took over the concert. Even though you weren't the focal point of the concert and even though your performance wasn't particularly long, we gave you your red ocean. I wanted to take a photo of the red ocean, but couldn't because the security was so tight.


Then Jaejoong appeared followed by Yoochun and Junsu. My immediate thought was that Junsu had lost some weight and then I noted how cute he looked with his new blonde hair. I'd thought that Yoochun would've cut his hair short by now since filming for his drama was already over. In the end, he still brandished the same long hair and his wide forehead. Jaejoong ah, he was still as handsome as ever.


After the first song was over, it was time for Junsu's solo. His amazing singing and sexy dancing had the audience screaming incessantly throughout his performance. Then it was time for soulmate's 'Colors'. Jaejoong and Yoochun stood on opposite sides of the stage and then swapped positions. In the middle when they were singing "lalala', the sound was completely phenomenal. On the last line, Jaejoong playfully stopped singing and just as Yoochun got ready to sing, he said 'hold on a moment' and then started laughing….


They then performed some songs from their new album. When they were singing 'Get Ready', the fans sang along with them at the 'OK'. When they got to 'W', I really couldn't hold my tears in anymore, the lyrics really brought tears to my eyes, but since I had a friend beside me, I tried to contain myself. Shockingly, my friend started to cry before I did and I burst into tears with her. When their performance was finally over, nearly all of Cassiopeia/Bigeast was in tears. The stadium was completely covered in red. I'm grateful to the Japanese fans, thank you for your unconditional love for them.


As Junsu walked off stage, he turned back longingly to look at the red ocean. His eyes seemed to brim with tears….


My friend and I left after JYJ's performance was over. Even though we felt slightly apologetic to the artists who performed afterwards, I had to leave because I live so far away and I was afraid I wouldnt be able to catch the bus.
Being able to see JYJ had me completely content.


Even though I'm really tired, seeing JYJ made me really happy. My only regret is that I went in heels and now I'm so tired that I'm afraid to walk.


A-nation really moved me. Those of you who haven't seem them live really should go and take a look for yourselves. Seeing fan videos is nothing compared to seeing them live.

Kyaa ... Cassi must be so jealous right?

a-nation Tokyo Part 2

A lot of details were omitted when this was translated from Japanese to Chinese so this is only a rough summary.


Lots of the fan glow sticks had already been switched on by the time Jaejoong started singing 'いつだって君'


At the beginning he looked like he was going to cry.
Actually, he didn't look too well. Jaejoong are you okay? I'm a little worried.


Yoochun asked 'Ready OK?' twice when he was MCing.
The first time he said it, he said 'Compared to when we were in Osaka, I'm not feeling too well.' And then he said it again.
Jaejoong said that he realy wanted to try doing Yoochun's 'Ready OK?' 'How are those of you sitting above?' 'How about the people on the left, good?' things like that.


Junsu had to prepare for Intoxication, so he didn't say much.


'Colors'
Jaejoong is so cute
Everyone sang together lalala~~~

if HOMIN are there... it must be really fun! right Bigeast?



♡

a-nation Tokyo Part 1

Around 50% of those in the stadium were in orange at the beginning, by the end, there was 70-80%.


The time JYJ came out was around the same as when they were in Osaka, as we approached the moment of their appearance, the guards became more strict.
Even as I took out my phone to check the time, I'd feel scared.
The songs they sang were pretty much the same as those in Osaka.
At around 18:40, when the sky was slowly darkening, the three of them finally walked out.
All the red lights suddenly came on.


They sang six songs in total, and this pretty much sums up how I felt:
Jaejoong is really cute
Jaejoong is absolutely stunning
I felt electrified by Jaejoong's voice
I could hear Jaejoong's voice echoing in my head
Jaejoong was hilarious during the MC section
I was kind of entranced by his dancing


Yoochun looked really happy and he was especially talkative during the MC secton. 'Junsu's introduction was so boring, don't you guys think? It was seriously boring (^W^), I'm Yoochun~ (He said this with a cute voice).' He yelled 'OK' more than once and said that 'That wasn't as powerful as when we were in Osaka' and did it again. Yoochun was smiling and laughing from the beginning to the end, it was absolutely adorable. He was also the only person who threw a towel. (Jaejoong threw a towel at the end)


When Jaejoong was MCing he said 'I want to yell OK like Yoochun too' And then he walked to centre stage and yelled 'Are you all awake~~??' twice.


I don't remember much about Junsu, but he was very charismatic.


Yoochun's rap in 'Colors' was cut and towards the end, Jaejoong stopped the song. Yoochun asked 'What are you doing?' and then the two of them started bickering like an old couple.


Then they ended with 'W'


When they were singing the official a-nation song, Yuki got on stage and started calling her friends on stage to sing together. 'AMI SUZUKI, KODA KUMI, AAA~~' etc. lots of her friends came up. Just as I thought she was done, I heard 'JUNSU~~!' Of course, Junsu was going to be singing as well, I was shocked for a moment but didn't think much of it until I heard' JAEJOONG, YOOCHUN~!' She shouted all three of their names! The three of them walked on in orange t-shirts~! Even though they only had one line each, I was glad I didn't leave half way through the concert.

Osaka A-nation Fanboy Account

8/22 Japanese Fanboy Fan Account


I went to watch A-nation with my family, and when we arrived at the station, there were about 1-2 fans already there. I was surprised by the number of fans.


JYJ’s fans got off the tram, and beside me they were all wearing orange t-shirts or orange towels; I was really surprised.


Also, when I arrived at the venue, about seven sections were all full of Tohoshinki fans!


They’re truly amazing~ These five people!


JUNSU JEJUNG YUCHUN


When they came on stage, the entire venue turned red! Why was it red? Because at Tohoshinki’s concerts, the lightsticks are always red~


Every year when Tohoshinki’s opening begins to play, the entire audience would yell “START! 5, 4 , 3, 2, 1~ *Scream* “ Like that. (lol)


When JYJ came on stage the cheering in venue was like an earthquake!


Like the Thanksgiving Live in Dome, the beginning song was “Itsudatte Kimi ni”


Why must they sing the type of song that makes people want to cry first~ (lol)


1. Itsudatte Kimi ni
2. Intoxication
3. Colors~ Melody and Harmony
4. Get Ready
5. Long Way
6. W


Overall, they sang six songs!


The outfits they wore were very similar to last years.


Jaejoong’s light blonde hair has become a slightly darker shade of blonde, and it is also a bit longer.


Junsu cut off his side fringe, and he also dyed his hair blonde, it’s very handsome!


Yoochun’s hair is also longer, and a bit curly.


After the first song ended, they greeted everyone and Yoochun shouted “Everyone~ Get ready OK?”


During the second song Junsu’s charisma exploded (lol)


For the third song, Jaejoong and Yoochun’s harmonization was perfect! And both of them were very cute (lol)


They sang the fourth and fifth songs together!


The sixth song, W, was so sad (tears) When I heard the song, it made me think of Changmin and Yunho. I cried during this song too, it really was heartbreaking.


However, when I was loudly shouting “Jaejoong! ~Yoochun~” the people around me stared at me, probably because they don’t see fanboys often (lol)


Next time I see them live, I hope that I can see all five of them together, I hope that I can see the smiles on all their faces…

Tohoshinki Trio’s First “Summer Stage” – 6 Songs Performed Passionately

From Tohoshinki, the 3 member group JUNSU/JEJUNG/YUCHUN (Junsu = 23, Jejung=24, Yuchun=24) with their great dance performance, captured the hearts of the audience.

From the darkened sky, Junsu’s, Yuchun’s then Jejung’s voices rang out. From last year’s Osaka performance, it’s been a year, and the 3 were welcomed to their first a-nation. While preparing, “We are really happy to be doing this” they said on stage, and the fans who have been waiting for the 3, were charmed in that moment.

This April, the trio formed a new unit. In June, they had concerts in Tokyo and Osaka Domes, and attracted a total crowd of 200,000, a huge success. On 8 September, the album “The...” will be on sale. This is the first step towards the earnest start of their activities.

The three, as if to show their determination for the future, gave it their all on stage. There were exciting dance numbers like“Get Ready,” and also touching ballads like “Itsudatte kimi ni”. A total of 6 songs were passionately performed, and furthermore, they showed that they had evolved to a higher level of performance.

“Everyone in Osaka, for the passionate support given, we too cannot lose out, and will fight to the end!”they said, in a venue that was half-filled with fans of the trio. To fans wearing the orange towel, Jejung said “Thank you!* This is Jejung!” in Kansai dialect and got a great response, Junsu’s sexy solo dance caused screams, and at Yuchun’s soulful shout, the fans kept waved their hands wildly.

*T/N: He said “Maido Ookini,” which is Kansai Dialect for “Thank You”
