Born January 26, 1986. singer. In February last year, he resumed his activities in Japan in earnest. He released his first solo album in Japan “Flawless Love” on April 10 and started “JAEJOONG ARENA TOUR 2019-Flawless Love” on the same day. Starting from Aichi Prefecture, it will be held in 6 cities across the country.
The meaning of the album title is “Perfect Love“.

J: “Love is being polished and perfected from the gemstones, just like diamonds. At first we meet in a state of nothing, know each other, and gradually change shape while gaining experience.“He put that feeling in the album title.

J: I want to put my best effort on ”what I can do” now rather than ”what I want to do”.

“The activities in Japan are what I have longed for. The wish came true and I was able to do my best in Japan for the past year. I have no time off so I feel too fulfill. Lol. But I appreciate this situation.”

It has already been a year since he resumed his activities in Japan. Also on this day, “After the interview of anan, there is shooting on location of TV program until morning (Lol)” In this way, he’s in great demand from various fields. Even though he is busy, he has a lively look because he feels “reborn” through a change in thinking.

J: “I’ve talked at the concert, in fact, I had a selfish time in my late twenties. I had a strong desire that I wanted to do what I wanted to do or I wanted to express my own characteristics. I was full of ego. Lol
However, I became in my thirties, the way of thinking changed. Now, I became to want that please let me do everything what I can do, at my age now, or with my physical strength now. Owing to that thought, I became to receive a wide variety of offers. I am living a fulfilling life definitely compared to before.”

In addition to the changes in his thinking, he is also attractive with fluent Japanese, which he was trying not to forget, and with the naturalness that cannot be imagined from his cool appearance.

J: "I have been able to appear on many Japanese variety shows over the past year, but at first I was very nervous. It’s been a long time, so when I entered a TV station, I was moved to say “Ah, it was like this.” So at that time, I thought I had not to be too eager for success, and I tried to throw away myself. My Japanese is not perfect and there are many things I do not know. However, I thought that’s uncool if I pretend to know everything or I show off. As a result of showing me honestly, many people were interested in me. But (suddenly he was discouraged) I seem to be considered a little stupid by everyone … I definitely want you to write this, but I also have a serious side and an adult side! Please believe in me! “

Q: Have you changed about love compared to your twenties?

J: I lost interest in love. Lol I used to have a desire for marriage, but now 0%! Now I live only for my work. Even if I think that I might like a woman, I immediately become calm. When we are in love, we care about the lover and as a result we become troubled. That’s a bit of a burden for me. Huh? are you worried?… But for fans, it is good, isn’t it?

Q: Tell me how to relieve your stress or how to solve your trouble.

J: Composing music. In my case, being free is stress. In the past, the drama I was scheduled to appear in was canceled, and I suddenly became free for four months. I was beaten mentally, but I changed my mind by composing. At that time, it was good that I could find a way out.

JAEJOONG STEP TOWARDS “PERFECTION”

PAGE 115

Kind and delicate, with an enveloping strength.
Leaves a dark color in our mind while having a sense of transparency.
Jaejoong is brushing up on his singing voices of “gift”, and he’s in action now.
The pure figure not to be decorated like “rough stone” and the figure aiming at “perfect” as an artist. Between the amplitudes, what is the driving force that moves him constantly upgrading? I asked him about the secret in detail on “anan” which he appeared for the first time in nine years.

In the song programs, he showed his colorful and deep expressiveness from his new songs to Japanese cover songs. In the meantime,

He said that he received new “awareness” from the co-starring Japanese artists.
“I thought that “a singer’s career” was short. But many Japanese singers have been working for a very long time. Moreover, they remain the same as when they were young. So I became to think that I could be a singer for my lifetime. To be honest, I do not know the future, but as long as I am healthy, I want to cherish this job of a singer.”

What do you value as a singer? I asked.

J: “Image training is very important. It is completely different in the studio and the stage.
When I was a rookie, it was important to do as I practiced, but now I would like to add my individuality to it. I have learned from experience that how to sing the song is more cool on the stage, so I devise myself to be able to express the song in the best possible way. Then I am careful to maintain my voice quality. My voice seems to be thin and delicate, but my original voice is thick and husky. When I was young, I was told by a producer that “Your voice would not be popular in Japan. I want you to make a more beautiful voice,” then I began to practice and could become to sing like this. Now, Jaejoong reproduces the singing voice of young Jaejoong. Lol. I think that the effort of that time is connected to me now, so I want to keep this voice from now on.”

While changing his mind flexibly, he always remembers to thank the fans who support him.
Such feelings are reflected in Japan’s first solo album “Flawless Love” to be released on April 10.

J: “As a solo singer, I often sing my favorite rock and ballads, but I heard fan’s opinion as “I want to see dancing Jaejoong.”…In response to the request, I added a dance number to this album. It is a work that fulfills the wishes of my fans who have been waiting for a long time in Japan, not just what I want to do. Concert tour around the whole country starts from April 10th. Definitely will be fun concerts. Isn’t it unusual for ”a” singer to sing dance, rock and ballads in a concert? I want to be loved by a wide audience. Lol. I also try to dance that I am not good at, so please go easy on me.
