Kim Junsu (born December 15, 1986; registered on January 1, 1987[1] in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea) better known by his stage names, Xiah (she-ah), Xiah Junsu (in South Korea) and Junsu (ジュンス) (in Japan), is a South Korean singer-songwriter, composer, occasional actor, and was a member of South Korean boy band TVXQ, known as Dong Bang Shin Ki in South Korea and Tohoshinki in Japan. After TVXQ was placed on hiatus he became a member of JYJ, which made its global debut in October 2010.
Early life
Xiah was born and raised in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. He has an older fraternal twin brother named Junho, known as Zuno. In 2002, Xiah participated in the 6th Annual Starlight Casting System, which led him to be casted by SM Entertainment to take part in TVXQ.[2]
Musical career
TVXQ
He was the first member to join TVXQ. Xiah auditioned for SM Entertainment with friend from grade school, Eunhyuk, who is part of 13 member group, Super Junior. Eunhyuk didn't make the audition that year, but Xiah made it. Xiah joined SM Entertainment at the age of eleven. His first contract with the company began February 12, 2000. In 2002 he appeared on a television show called "2002 Survival Audition" with Eunhyuk, which was judged by two members from H.O.T., Moon Hee Jun and Kangta. Kangta praised him highly, saying that he had potential as a lead vocalist. Xiah debuted with the group TVXQ, during a BoA and Britney Spears showcase.[3] He chose Xiah to be his stage name, explaining that the name was short for "Asia", as Asia is pronounced "ah-shee-ah" in Korean. "Xiah" would be an implication of his desire to become not only a star in Korea, but also a star recognized all throughout the continent.[3]
JYJ
Solo singing career
He also participated in Samsung's Anycall project, Anyband. The group consisted of label-mate BoA, Tablo of Epik High, and jazz pianist Jin Bora. The group has only released one single, "AnyBand".[4][5][6] In 2006, he collaborated with label-mate Zhang Liyin, for her debut single "Timeless".[7] Xiah wrote and composed "Nae Gyeote Sumsuil Su Ittdamyeon (White Lie)" (네 곁에 숨쉴 수 있다면), which was included on TVXQ's third studio album, "O"-Jung.Ban.Hap.. For the Trick project, he composed his solo "Rainy Night".[8] Xiah also wrote "Noeur.. Baraboda (Picture of You)" (노을..바라보다), which was featured in the group's fourth Korean album, Mirotic.[9] For the Tohoshinki 4th Live Tour 2009: The Secret Code in Tokyo Dome, Xiah performed his self-composed song Xiahtic in Japanese. In January 2010, Xiah started his stage musical career as the lead actor in the South Korean run of Mozart!.[10]
After it was revealed that TVXQ would go on an indefinite hiatus in Japan, it was announced that Xiah would make a solo debut.[11] He will release a double A-side single on May 26, 2010.[11] A song that Xiah recorded titled "Kanashimi no Yukue" (悲しみのゆくえ, The Whereabouts of Sadness) will be used as the theme song for the Japanese drama 5nen Atono Love Letter (5年後のラブレター, Go-nen Atono Rabu Retā, A Love Letter, 5 Years From Now).[12] In May 2010, there was also a teaser released, showing Xiah's self-composed song called "Intoxication".Refer Xiah (EP).
In October 2010, on a span of 4 days, Xiah was set to collaborate with Sylvester Levay on a musical concert called 'Kim Junsu Musical Concert, Levay with Friends'. It was held at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena in Seoul.[13] The tickets to the first day of this concert was sold out in 20 minutes.[14]
