Hot off the pages of CJeS’s website comes an announcement that JYJ will perform another concert in Gwangju on June 26 2011. This comes after the massively successful concert in Busan (Pusan) that sparked a citywide boom where thousands of people flocked to the city booking up hotels, spending money in local restaurants, arranging for transportation, etc.
Here’s the translated report from CJeS (by way of JYJ3):
For those with DISH service, KBS WORLD will show the Asian Dream Cup Wednesday June 15 2011 at 7AM ET/ 6AM CT.
If a translated reports out of Korea are any indication, the situation with JYJ has sparked a debate on who can legally call to ask for artists to be banned from television. A member of the government in Korea has openly asked for the Korean Fair Trade Commission to investigate the “unfair trade practices of the entertainment industry” and specifically names SM in his criticism.
Member Park Sunsook wants to know whether a violation of the Fair Trade Act occurred when an obscure organization, calling themselves the Korean Federation of Pop Culture and Art Industry (KFPCAI), sent out letters to networks and entertainment agencies demanding that they ban the group JYJ from appearing on various shows and programs.
Oh yeah. Busan (Pusan) turned in JYJTown as thousands and thousands of fans converged on the city for the JYJ concert held June 11 2011.
The fans obviously had a great time, but he guys also seemed to have had a great time too. Check out a clip of Yoochun’s great time:

Tee hee! Now, now, don’t get jealous. These are gorgeous young men. Let them have fun too!
Sajik Indoors Gymnasium made a daebak (T/N: a Korean word for great success) with the JYJ Concert.
On the 10th, the City of Pusan’s Gymnasium Facilities Management Industry Office revealed that when combining the 10% of entrance fees which it receives as the rental fee and also the exclusive usage fee, the total profits are over 200,000,000 KRW (approximately 200,000 USD). For the 2-day concert, about 20,000 tickets that average 100,000 KRW (approximately 100 USD) each have become completely sold out. Such profits are about 6 times of Seo Taeji’s Pusan concert that was held in June of 2009 (audience if 5000, rental fee 33,000,000 KRW i.e., approximately 33,000 USD). Sajik has raised its largest profits in ten years for a single event.
