Ripley drama, costarring Yoocheon, opens to high ratings

According to translated reports, the drama “Ripley” (Miss Ripley) in which Yoocheon costars, opened in first place for all Monday and Tuesday dramas.  The figures show a rating of 13.2% for the start of the highly anticipated drama.

The rating is also outstanding considering the unspoken, often criticized rule of the big networks in Korea blocking Yoocheon (or any JYJ member for that matter) from appearing on any other show to promote any of their work directly to Korean audiences.

JYJ wowed the fans in Los Angeles Friday UPDATE 2

Update #2

JYJ was in Los Angeles Friday night (May 27 2011) to perform for thousands of excited and mesmerized fans.  The Korean trio (Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu) has also performed in New Jersey and Vancouver, Canada before hitting Los Angeles.

I’m not sure the size of the crowd just yet, but one fan’s ingenuity made it possible so that thousands more fans could actually see parts of the concert online.

Despite the low quality audio and video, by the end of the concert over 6,100+ people were watching that one feed.  The live video feed acted as a lifeline for the thousands of fans who did not have a chance to go to either of the concerts JYJ performed in North America, and who were lucky enough to be checking their twitter accounts at the time where the link was being spread.
