SungKyunKwan Scandal Soundtrack (OST) has sold over 100,000 copies based largely on the inclusion of music from JYJ (Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu). The song, Chajatta (Chajada) hasn’t received any official promotion in Korea because of the current conflict the members are having with their former Korean management company.
Still, the song has generated a groundswell of support from fans. So much support that the song was nominated for the top spot on the Oct 1st broadcast of ‘Music Bank’.

I heard at the GwangHwaMun conference today that YoungWoong Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun and Xiah Junsu always thank and warmly hug our company representative every time they meet. We’ve never had clients like them before.
Fools with a thirst for money? They are the complete opposite: genuine guys who are too uninterested in money. People don’t even know them well and say things about them. (We will correct these misconceptions) On top of that, SSK OST CDs are flying off the shelves as if they have wings…
