Jakarta – JYJ member Junsu held a successful concert in JITEC, Mangga Dua Square, Jakarta on Saturday (06/16/2012). He performed in Jakarta for the round schedule of ‘XIA The 1st Asia Tour Concert Tarantallegra’. Scheduled to start the concert at 19.00 (West Indonesia Time), but until 20.00 Junsu had not yet appeared on the stage. Fans kept chanting the name “Kim Junsu” many times.
The long awaited artist finally showed up on stage at 20.40. Suddenly the stage was filled with fireworks and green laser highlights. Junsu was standing on stage with a dark blue suit and immediately sang the song ‘Breath’ following with ‘No Gain’.
Both songs were greeted by the hysterical shouts of the audiences. Especially in the second song when he was dancing with two female dancers in sexy outfits.
“Apa kabar? Saya Xia. Saya senang bertemu dengan kalian (T/N How are you? I’m Xia. I’m glad to meet you all),” said Junsu with fluent Indonesian without any cheating sheet. He also kept spreading warm smiles from the stage. “The next song will make you falling asleep,” he continued (in Korean) with the help of an interpreter. Then ‘Lullaby’ and ‘Intoxication’ were sung.
Junsu sang all his 17 tracks live throughout the concert. Although soaked in sweat due to the nonstop dancing, he still looked very excited.
‘Set Me Free’ became the next playlist. Laser and blue lights were shot everywhere. The audiences sang along too during the performance. After changing clothes into all-white suit, he then proceed to sing soundtrack drama ‘Scent of Woman’ ‘You are So Beautiful’. Again, the audiences couldn’t help but singing with him. It was such a festive!
The difference between Junsu’s concert and the other K-Pop concerts (held in Indonesia) was majority of the audiences were adults, not school teenagers. Understandably, as Junsu was first debuted in 2003 so that the fans were already more mature.
“Kalian senang nggak? Senang? Terimakasih! (T/N Are you guys happy? Happy? Thank you!)” Junsu said as he continued laughing. “Even though I sing here, I can not believe I am standing in Indonesia. I’m now very pleased to be able to come here for the first time,” he continued.
The audience screamed hysterically when Junsu said that he would grant three wishes. The interpreter then help (by interpreting audiences’ requests). The first request was Junsu had to do aegyo (T/N the angel pose). A moment later he was doing his cute angel pose then looked down embarrassed.
On the second demand, audiences began shouting uncontrollably. They screamed together “Open your clothes! Open your clothes!” Unfortunately the request was ignored by translator. Junsu ended up just shouting his trademark shout “Bambaya!”
Junsu looked so sweet. He could not stop smiling and laughing and enjoying each of his performances. Fans chanted in unison “Saranghae! Saranghae!” (‘I love you’ in Korean).
‘Even Though You Already Know’ and ‘Turn Around and Around’ then sung. The red lightstick ocean began to sway once more.
‘The Last Dance’ from Junsu’s musical ‘Elizabeth’ was then performed with dazzling musical style. The dancers wore masks and black lace cloak. The background stage screen showed Big Ben in the midst of full moon.
This segment seemed to showcase Junsu as a successful musical actor. The next song he sung ‘I am, I am Music’ from the musical he also starred in ‘Tears of Heaven’. Junsu looked mesmerized into his performance.
‘Why Don’t You Love Me’ from musical ‘Mozart’ was next to take over the stage. The background screen which displayed a castle-like scene complete with all chandeliers added even more melancholy atmosphere. Not to mention Junsu’s vocal quality that definitely fits the song and arguably exceptional. It seemed like we actually watched the real musical. Good job, Junsu!
Intro of ‘Tarantallegra’ was heaving, continued with fireworks explosion and actual fire that burst from the side of the stage. Junsu spell was successful, the audience continued to shout fanchant. Tarantallegra!
Tired. Junsu who was all sweating then sit for a few minutes on the red sofa which suddenly appeared in front of the stage. He was just sitting motionless and not saying anything. The impatient audiences chanted his name over and over again “Kim Junsu! Kim Junsu!”.
Junsu stood right in front of the stage. Again, fireworks burst and lasers began to dance. ‘Fever’, ‘Too Love’, and ‘Mission’ were set as the next songs. The concert was almost over. However Junsu’s dance was even more energetic and vibrant.
Junsu changed his clothes about 6 times. At the final stage, he wore a sleveless shirt printed ‘XIA The 1st Asia Tour Concert Tarantallegra’ with gold pants and calf-length boots. He sat in a high stool and sang ‘I Don’t Like Love’ and ‘The Tree Covered The Dew’.
While he was singing, he took a plushie given by audiences in the front row. Confetti were scattered like snow. ‘Fallen Leaves’ performance was ended with a round applause from audiences and Junsu bowed to say goodbye. “Thank you!” he said then formed ‘love’ using both hands.
Nine years of existence in Korean music industry really makes Junsu could attest to his quality. Without any hydraulic stage or excessive special effects, Junsu’s performance was still incredibly stunning. Fans came out the concert venue with much satisfaction. See you again, Junsu!
