[TRANS] 100625 'Musicaldols' How Far Have They Come? with Lee Gyung Mi

You appeared in Mozart! with Xiah Junsu. How was he?
He did really well. Out of the four people who played the lead role in, he was the first to memorize all of his lines, blocking and lyrics. He would work hard during rehearsals and he had a strong foundation of determination to work off of. A couple of days ago, I heard that he won the Best Male Newcomer Award for 'The Musical Awards', and I worried that people who hadn't seen his shows properly would devalue his achievement and call it 'an award that caters to popularity'. My role (Mrs. Weber) was a villain who torments Mozart, but his acting was so good that I felt bad for tormenting him. I told him that I wanted him to keep acting. He himself said that he wants to keep doing musicals.

Are all idol stars like that?
Not at all. Aside from Xiah Junsu, I heard that Yesung from NamHanSanSung worked very hard as well. I also heard that Daesung and Seungri did well in Cats and Rain Shower respectively. I heard that although Jessica was lacking in preparation time, she had a desire to perform in the musical. These are the most unfortunate cases; they have plenty of drive, but lack the necessary circumstances to succeed.

It seems that not many idol stars appear in licensed musicals. Cats, Mozart, and Legally Blonde seem to be it? Why is that?
With big productions, foreign staff from overseas come for the audition process. People are never cast just because they are idol stars in these situations. Therefore, there is a chance that idol stars may not get the part. So entertainment agencies usually don't let the idol stars audition in the first place because of this.

[TRANS] 100519 Idol Group’s Survival Skills Evolve “We Even Compose And Write Lyrics”

Idol groups seem to be evolving every day. Some of them are honing their talents in the composition and lyrics fields. They are showing off their ‘musician’ sides by including their compositions in their albums.

The representative of these new composing idols is the group TVXQ. All the members of the group are capable of composing and writing lyrics.
They have released around 20 self-composed songs in Korea and Japan. It is said that they have around 100 unreleased songs that they composed and wrote lyrics for.

Xiah Junsu’s solo single , which is going to be released on the 26th, is also his own composition.

(omitted)

A celebrity representative stated, “The idol group members’ active participation when it comes to composing and writing lyrics is connected to their futures. Their actions can be interpreted as an acceptance of the fact that their group activities will not last forever and a fight for survival and self-sufficiency in the future.”

[TRANS] 100228 A-Star Extra Magazine Vol.4/2010 – Most Impression Idol

It’s how the Korean star impressed the A-star magazine staff (from meeting, press conference , interviewing or working experience with Korea stars)

*T/N There’s no ranking among the TOP 5

#1 Jaejong – Clumsy with good manners

We have no idea why we’re impressed of Jaejoong this much because every time we got a chance to meet him it’s always from distance. But His cutie aura keep flashing on us. He doesn’t talk much in order to continue his mysterious image but out of the blue he just did something cute and clumsy on his own.

When he gets to talk,he can impress us with his touching speech for example we were talking about the pink wristband (Thai people wear it to show loyalty to the king) Jaejoong said he was wearing it because he wanted to be like Thai people. That’s why he always wears 2 wristbands every time he visited Thailand.

Moreover the way he looks at the fans slowly from left to right and right to left as if he wants to keep every moment in his memories. Then he gives us a little smile or sticking his touch out or laughing with no reasons.

He’s so focusing on loving one thing every time he visited Thailand, which is to ride the elephants.Also the way he gracefully paid respect in Thai way.All of these simple little things impress us more and more.

#2 Siwon (SJ)
#3 Nichkhun (2 PM)
#4 Taemin (SHINee)
#5 Minho (SHINee)
