JYJ's brand new start
Omitted: Editor's note.
This issue's featured star is JYJ who released their first album this month. JYJ is formed from the first letter of each of the member's names, and despite it not being as elegant as TVXQ, it still shows the determination of Kim JaeJoong, Park YooChun and Kim JunSu to create a new beginning. TVXQ was a part of their life, where they gained maturity and figured out their future goals. The trio, who are now excelling in different aspects of their careers, will definitely not give up easily on their group, JYJ.

Tremendous Promotional Activites
JYJ's dispute with SM Entertainment has been going on for a long time but has yet to be settled, and it is hard for TVXQ to stay as five, but the artistes’ activities cannot stop because of this.

On October 12th, JYJ’s World Showcase in Seoul was held which generated a massive response, of which 30 million won was donated to a charity fund for children.

On October 23rd, JYJ performed at the 2010 Shanghai East Asia Flying Up Concert, which was a concert for charity, and showed a charitable act.
JYJ Worldwide Concert in Seoul which will be held on November 27th and 28th is their first massive concert in Korea after the new unit was formed, to which there was an overwhelming fans’ response whereby tickets were sold out really fast. Although the concert is a little costly as compared to others, tens of thousands of tickets were still snapped up within a few minutes. Other than that, JYJ is also planning to hold their concert in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Shanghai and America.
