XIA: Hello, This is XIA (spoken in Thai)
Q: How do feel about your second album?

The difference is that this album contains a more diverse genre of songs and it is also a more colorful and in-touch with style album. The title track of this album, for example, would fill everyone’s summer with liveliness. They are songs that will make you feel better.

XIA: Last year, I also kicked off my Asia tour in Thailand and I’m glad to be doing the same thing this year as well. The reason I chose to start my Asia tour in Thailand is because it makes me feel lucky. It’s almost if I begin my work in Thailand, all good things will follow. I could start off my performances with a great feeling.

Q: Give us the gist about tomorrow’s performance
XIA: The concert list will mostly be songs from my new album. Since there’s a wide variety of genres, the concert will be packed with many different atmospheres and diverse styles of performances. Moreover, there will also be some of the fans’ favorite songs from last year that I’ve prepared to show them.

Q: Tell us a bit about the title track, Incredible
XIA: The title track of this album is a composition of Sony Music’s ‘Automatic’ who worked with me in the previous album. When I first received this song from him, I felt that it truly suits the summer atmosphere. It has a lively beat to it. The song also gives off a different hip-hop vibe from my old style. I’m also honored to have Quincy featured in the song and the music video. The MV will deliver you a festive party that I hope every audience would be able to enjoy this summer.

Q: Tell us about your feelings while performing in ‘Elisabeth’
XIA: Performing in Elisabeth really had an influence on my music. Tarantallegra, for example, is one of the songs that sprouted from such influence. I have a strong bond with Elisabeth and it also gave me a chance to receive the Best Musical Actor award. Being able to reprise my role this year, I’m under a lot of pressure. I’m going to try to work even harder for a new image in the role of Death.

Q: What is the charm of musical performance? How does it differ from JYJ’s activities and how does it affect your solo album?
XIA: While I was performing musical, I had to memorize lines and lyrics within a limited few hours time. During Mozart, I had to study the various dimensions of that particular character. Performing in musical wasn’t just about me. There are also staff members and 80-100 performing members of the orchestra – everyone had to work together. Being involved in that kind of working atmosphere was an exceptional experience.

XIA: I’m not too sure whether it did or not. There are also the songs and concept which I supposed they did receive some influences.

Q: Last year, you held a world tour. Do you feel any kind of pressure this time around?
XIA: The dates for concert in other countries haven’t been set yet, but the most important thing I’m thinking about right now is how to create the most impressive performance for Thai fans. That and that alone would make me feel happy and proud.

Q: What is your impression of Thai fans?
XIA: I’ve actually recognized quite a number of fans. I love coconut juice. Yesterday, fans were giving me support by showing a banner with coconut tree. I like that fact the Thai fans are consistently showing their love for me. I’m energized from seeing their faces in the concert – it makes me feel blessed.

Junsu made his career debut in 2003 as a member of South Korean boy band TVXQ, with whom he released four albums, including the 2004 debut Tri-Angle and 2005's follow-up Rising Sun.

Regarding his acting debut in ‘Monstar’, Yong Jun Hyung said, “I’ve dreamt of becoming a stage actor since high school, but I think I have to do a good job in acting in ‘Monstar’,” and “director-nim also gave me compliment, saying I resemble Park Yoochun.”
‘Monstar’ is the latest work by Kim Won Suk PD; his last production was KBS2 ‘Sunkyunkwan Scandal’ in 2010, in which Kim PD witnessed Park Yoochun’s debut as an actor. However, concerning whether or not he feels burdened by having some resemblance with Park Yoochun, Yong Jun Hyung said, “he didn’t say it was a similarity in appearance, but rather similarities in the aspect of drama filming.”

130506, Code Name: Jackal actress Song Jihyo’s official interview
Source: 日本公開「コードネーム：ジャッカル」女優ソン・ジヒョのオフィシャルインタビュー
[T/N: Translated parts related to Jaejoong only]
JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong first starring movie ‘Code Name: Jackal’ (Distributor: clockworks/shougeto) has been released nationwide on May 3rd and has attracted hot attention from the public.
The movie, Code Name: Jackal, and its thrilling and unpredictable storyline, begins with legendary killer (Song Jihyo) kidnapping top star Choi Hyun (Jejung), then continues with a variety of suspense and comedy.
This is the official interview of actress Song Jihyo.
- Who would you choose - Jejung san or Han Sangjin?
A: Oh Dalsu-san… (laughs) I’m a huge fan of Oh Dalsu-san. He was really good at our first rehearsal reading.
- What do you think of your co-star Jejung san?
A: Jejung was shooting this movie while also filming a drama. I think it was exhausting for him physically and mentally. He was tired but he pretends he’s not while filming. He had to film without showing how tired he was. I think Jejung is very talented, and we should emulate him and do our best since he tries to finish 1 scene with 1 cut only. We have so much fun filming the movie, and I think he’s a great actor while watching him film his scenes.
- Memorable scene while filming?
It’s the scene where Jejung and I were most photographed, he is tied up with a tape and rope in a chair, like in the poster, and I was standing. I feel as though the same scene was shot over a period of 2 months. The situation was that he was used to sitting down that when he was standing, it feels unnatural. He is standing awkwardly but still says ‘I feel great’ and it touched me deeply. But it is funny. It still remains the most memorable. The scene was also included in the making. It was expected that the scene is funny. Because he was tied up a lot and for long periods of time, he goes to the bathroom still tied up, he takes a nap still tied up, talk with the director, have break or relax over a cup of tea and he is still tied up.
- About co-starring with Jejung
He is the perfect image for Choi Hyun and is better than I thought, we are very grateful that he did his best. He is just beginning his career as an actor but he copes up with us. He is our mood maker in the shooting location, he lives up the place even though he is the youngest in the cast. I think it is very cute, but I think his real charm is when he is seriously acting.
