Korean boy band JYJ [Prain Inc.]
Korean boy band JYJ, composed of former TVXQ members Hero Jaejung (or Jaejoong), Micky Yoochun and Junsu, will likely take the stage at the 2010 KBS Drama Awards, making it the first time they will perform on television since debuting as a trio.
"It's not 100% confirmed as of yet but we in currently in talks with JYJ for a congratulatory performance during the 2010 KBS Drama Awards", a high-ranking official from KBS said. "It would be great if they performed the song 'Calling You' from the drama 'Sungkyunkwan Scandal' since Micky Yoochun gave such a memorable performance in the drama".
He went onto explain that they are fine-tuning on several details including how many songs JYJ will sing at the awards ceremony.
Jaejung (Hero), Micky Yoochun and Junsu made their debut in 2004 as part of the popular boy band TVXQ, but despite their phenomenal success in Asia, they ceased their activities as a group after being involved in a legal dispute with the Korean agency SM Entertainment.
They made a comeback to the music scene in October as a trio under the name JYJ and released their worldwide studio album "The Beginning" on October 14, kicking off their global showcase to promote their album and themselves in Seoul and the United States.
JYJ recently held two series of show titled the "JYJ Worldwide Concert in Seoul" at the Main Olympic Stadium in Jamsil last month.
For two months from late August, Micky Yoochun had starred in KBS' 20-episode series "Sungkyunkwan Scandal" alongside cast members Park Min-yeong, Song Joong-ki and Yoo Ah-in. The show fared moderately well, posting ratings in the mid-ten percent range toward the end of its run.
Yoo Ah-in and Song Joong-ki from Sungkyunkwan Scandals choosen by viewer for "The Best Couple Award" in 2010 KBS Drama Awards.
A representative of KBS’s variety team revealed, “Due to the aggressive recommendations and support the press corps have shown, we were able to confidently put the ‘Song Joong Ki and Yoo Ah In’ couple as nominations for the ‘Best Couple Award’. We predict that they will receive just as many user votes as the other hetero couples in the viewers votes.”
Even though the couple is said to be ‘just friends’, if the two should win the award, it would prove to be a great step towards a positive reception of the queer community in Korea!
"2010 KBS Drama Awards" is scheduled to be broadcasted on December 31st.
