JYJ’s Junsu on @Star1: “I Didn’t Want to Release an Album at First”

Oct 09, 2012

JYJ’s Junsu was featured in an exclusive photo shoot and interview with fashion/beauty magazine @Star1 this month. In the interview Junsu talked about his career as a musical star, solo artist, and a member of JYJ.

“In Korea, we spend a lot of time recording but in the U.S. it’s more about talking and opening up with each other during the recording. If we recorded for 4 hours, we would spend over 2 hours just talking and planning. Also, they would treat me overly well, telling me to take a rest whenever my voice was gone. I learned how the best staff members operate,” Junsu said.

He went on to discuss his solo album and music career. “It depends on how you see it, but I think it’s a huge success considering the concerns I had prior to releasing the album. Honestly, I told my agency that I didn’t want to release an album when I was first asked to it. It just felt like it was impossible to run album promotions without any TV appearances,” he said.
