TVXQ, top earnings in Korea for 2009 [311209]

December 31, 2009

Despite the turmoil that TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki is going through, the boys are still bringing in the big bucks. On December 30th, tvN ENEWS ‘블랙박스 / Blackbox’ ranked the top 10 entertainers in terms of revenue earned and the boys of TVXQ came out on top. The top 10 ranked as the following:

1) TVXQ
2) Rain / Bi
3) Big Bang
4) Super Junior
5) Kim Hyun Joong
6) Ko Hyun Jung
7) SNSD / Girls’ Generation
8 ) Lee Byung Hun
9) Yoo Jae Suk
10) Kang Ho Dong

TVXQ’s revenue for 2009 was estimated at ₩ 127,340,000,000 (around $109.1 million US dollars). ₩ 91,200,000,000 came from album sales, ₩ 35,940,000,000 came from concerts, and around ₩ 2,000,000,000 came from advertisements to come up with the total revenue. This coinciding with the news that TVXQ was the #3 earner in Japan is great news for the boys.

Looking at all the money they generated it seems there should be plenty of money to go around, unfortunately there’s big turmoil with SM Entertainment. Hopefully, it can all resolved soon.

TVXQ performs at Kohaku [311209]

December 31, 2009

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! XD [But the date its still 311209 o_o whats wrong?]

Last year at this time, the boys of TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki were bestowed the honor of performing on NHK’s prestigious Kohaku. For those that don’t know what Kohaku is and how it’s such a big deal, here’s an excerpt from wikipedia which explains it pretty well:

“Kohaku Uta Gassen more commonly known as simply Kohaku, is an annual music show on the New Year’s Eve produced by Japanese public broadcaster NHK and broadcast on both television and radio, nationally and internationally by NHK’s networks and some overseas (mainly cable) broadcasters which bought the program… Literally “Red and White Song Battle,” the program divides the most popular music artists of the year into competing teams of red and white. The “red” team or akagumi is composed of all female artists (or groups with female vocals), while the “white” team or shirogumi is all male (or groups with male vocals). The honor of performing on Kohaku is strictly by invitation, so only the most successful J-POP artists and enka singers can perform. Even today, a performance on Kohaku is said to be a big highlight in a singer’s career because of the show’s large reach.”

Last month DBSK / TVXQ / Tohoshinki were invited once again and earlier today they sang their hit single Stand By U. Despite what they’re going through they put on an excellent performance

Send your messages to Yunho and Yunho’s Father

Merry Christmas!

I am looking forward to Mr. Children’s live concert today.

There are only a few days left for this year.
This year was a new start for me, and I am happy that I was able to make many new friends through my blog.

And, I would like to pray for your and my health, so that we could greet the coming new year as a good one.

Well, this is just a personal acitivity, but I am the author of the book “The Secrets of Tohoshinki”.
And I am a Tohoshinki fan, especially of Yunho. (Yunho, from the man’s point of view, is a very cool guy.)

Currently, considering the lawsuit, we cannot see much of their smiles, and I think that it is a trying time for Tohoshinki fans.
This is just my personal point of view, but I would like the 3 members to firmly claim their opinions to SM, and want them to solve the problem without leaving unpleasant feelings afterwards.
And, I would like to see the active and cheerful Tohoshinki as soon as possible.

However, concerning this problem, there seems to be a baseless bashing to the two remaining (Yunho and Changmin).

Especially, I think that the leader Yunho should be full of hardships, but he is doing his best and enduring such conditions.

So, with my new year’s message to Yunho’s father, I would like to send all of your messages, too.

I myself received assistance from Yunho’s father when I was writing “The Secrets of Tohoshinki Part 2”, and I am truly grateful.
If it is possible, I would like to meet him in an early stage next year, and would like to directly convey my gratitude to him.

Since this is just a personal activity, I cannot do a big thing. But I would like to convey Yunho’s (and of course, all of the other members’) fans’ messages. I would like to convey the messages of the people who loves Tohoshinki.
I am sorry that I could only inform the people who are checking my blog, so please introduce this to any persons who are willing to send out their messages.

Everyone who strongly wants to write a message, please leave your comments.
(Please remember to follow to rules.)

Rules:
1. Please write your comments in Korean or English.
(Since this is my personal activity, I have no time to translate your Japanese comments.)
(few sentences omitted)
2. Please send them by January 3, 12:00 noontime. (T/N: Japan time)
3. Please do not abuse or slander them, the target is to send out warm messages.
4. Please keep your messages under 100 characters.
5. Please write your name (your nickname should be OK)
6. Since everyone could check on your comments, please do not write telephone numbers and mail addresses in your comments.
7. (omitted)

To all of you who have read my book, this sould be the only thing I can do for you.
Please give us your messages to Yunho and Yunho’s father, who should be worried so much.
(Many sentences omitted.)

Eriko Kitagawa’s Blog Update [301209]

December 29, 2009

2009-12-29 14:20:33

ToJaeTen

To all the ToJaeTen {T/N: Tohoshinki + Jaejoong + Tengoku (Heaven)} members,
I am really sorry to inform you,
but I will not update information about Tohoshinki’s private life here in this blog for the time being.
For the “Heaven’s Postman”, that is one of my works,
so I will continue to write here.

The reason why I have reached these conclusions are,
there are some fans that dislike me in writing articles about Jaejoong and me here.
I do not want to inform you in details, it is such a sad story.
Please sense what I want to say.

Since I have my real job as a scriptwriter,
I do not want to be upset by the things which are not related to my works.
As the athletes control their bodies, I have to control my spirits in order to write scripts.

And please, if persons related to Jaejoong and Tohoshinki read this article, keep the situation a secret to them. Please, please.
It is not my purpose to make them feel sad.

My feelings to Jaejoong, the respect to Tohoshinki’s talents, and the evaluation to Jaejoong as a actor will not change by this incident.
And, of course, my love to them, too.

My works for “Heaven’s Postman” is proceeding.
I think that the date when I can meet the vigorous Jaejoong is nearby.

This is the last message that I will convey to you.

Oh, I would like to emphasize this point. I do not hold any distrust to all of you “ToJaeTen” members.
I thought that it was a very good thing that people come to know me through Tohoshinki,
and on the contrary, people come to know Tohoshinki through myself.
So I have been writing articles about them here.

And most of you were really very nice persons.
So I tried my best (that is, the ToJaeTen project).

How should I put in words…since I am doing such works,
my naïve part gets me into troubles,
and thus, I had to come up to this point.

But I think that I am connected to all of the “ToJaeTen” members,
and the project was a really delightful one.
Let’s meet in the movie’s preview, once it is completed!

Maybe, in the future, when the excitement over this affair blows over, I will be able to write about them again.
I would be delighted if such a day will come.

T/N: 10 hours have passed since this article was posted, and there are now over 470 comments for this one article. All of them are thanking Kitagawa for her efforts she put into the “ToJaeTen” project, and also apologizing for the words of some fans which made Kitagawa unhappy. I sincerely hope for the date when Kitagawa resumes writing articles about Jaejoong and Tohoshinki will come soon, her strong support has been a ray of sunshine to Tohoshinki fans during these hard days.

[Video] Jaejoong & Junsu’s Messages/Support to TaeGoon

December 29, 2009

JJ: Hi. This is THSK’s Jaejoong. Congratulations to Taegoon’s first concert in Japan. Since I’m on my own, I’m seriously embarrassed… Taegoon and I were friends since we were really young. Really close friends, even now. Finally, Taegoon is able to do a debut concert in Japan, I’m really happy for him. Although I’d love to give him support, honestly, I’m in Korea right now. I’m disappointed that I can’t be there, but please give Taegoon a lot of support.

To taegoon, also, take care of yourself and don’t get hurt. I’m really sorry I can’t be there but I’m waiting for the day Taegoon and I can be there standing together in front of you all. I am working hard for that day to come. Please support me! Taegoon, work hard! :)

JS: To the audience members watching, Hi! This is THSK’s Junsu! I heard Taegoon was hosting his first concert in Japan and was very touched. Taegoon and us (THSK) are very close friends. I’m sure Taegoon will show an impressive performance in dance and singing to all of you. Please look forward to and enjoy it! I also am looking forward to meeting all of you! :) Taegoon, work hard! Bye bye!
