Kim Junsu (Korean김준수; Hanja金俊秀; born 15 December 1986[1]), also known under the moniker Xia (stylized as XIA; /siˈɑː/ SEE-ah; Template:Lang-ko), is a South Korean singer-songwriter and stage actor. Formerly known as one-fifth of popular South Korean boy band TVXQ, he's currently active as a solo singer and member of pop group JYJ.

Junsu made his debut as TVXQ, a boy band produced and formed by South Korean record label and talent agency SM Entertainment in 2003. As a member of TVXQ, he has released four Korean albums, four Japanese albums, thirty Japanese singles and several Korean singles. In 2009, Junsu and fellow TVXQ members Kim Jaejoong and Park Yoochun filed a lawsuit against SM Entertainment, arguing that their exclusive contracts were unilaterally disadvantageous towards the artists and should be invalidated. The Seoul Central District Court ruled in favor of the three and granted an injunction suspending their contracts. The trio reunited and subsequently formed JYJ (formerly known as JUNSU/JEJUNG/YUCHUN in Japan).[2] Junsu has released one English language album and one Korean language album, as well as one Japanese language and one Korean language EPs with JYJ.

Junsu launched his solo career in 2010 with the release of his debut Japanese single Xiah, which peaked at number 2 on Japan's Oricon singles chart. The same year, he took the role of Wolfgang in his debut musical Mozart!,[3] to critical acclaim and commercial success. Junsu released his first full-length Korean solo studio album titled Tarantallegra in 2012. Following the release, he embarked on his first headlining world tour.[4]
In July 2013, Junsu returns with his second Korean solo studio album, Incredible.

Biography

Pre-debut

Kim Junsu was born and raised in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. His mother was former Miss Korea contestant and he has an older fraternal twin brother named Kim Junho.[5] In elementary school, he was member of a dance group called 'SRD', stood for song, rap and dance with childhood friend Eunhyuk of South Korean boy band Super Junior.[6] Junsu was signed by SM Entertainment after his participation in the company's 6th Annual Starlight Casting System. He joined SM Entertainment at the age of eleven and his first contract began February 2000.

In 2002 Junsu, Eunhyuk and Sungmin (both went on to debut as Super Junior's members three years later) were placed in a project R&B group. They appeared on a show called "2002 Survival Audition - Heejun vs. Kangta, Battle of the Century", along with three future members of rock band TRAX (Jay Kim, No Minwoo, Kang Jungwoo). They were judged and mentored by Moon Hee Jun and Kangta, two members of H.O.T, SM Entertainment's former group. Kangta praised Junsu highly in the show, saying that he had potential as a lead vocalist. The group disbanded in 2003 when Junsu was selected to be TVXQ's member.[7]

2003-2009: TVXQ

Junsu was the first member to join TVXQ. After six years of training, he officially debuted with the group during BoA and Britney Spears' showcase on 26 December, 2003.[8] He chose Xiah to be his stage name, explaining that the name was short for "Asia" (taking out the "a" in "Asia"). "Xiah" would be an implication of his desire to become not only a star in Korea, but also a star recognized all throughout Asia.[8]

In 2006, Junsu featured in former label-mate Zhang Liyin's debut song, "Timeless".[9] It is a remake of Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini's duet, originally recorded in 2003. Junsu also sang for the Chinese version of the song and appeared in the second part of "Timeless"' music video.

In 2007, he was chosen to be part of Samsung's Anycall project group, Anyband. The band comprises former label-mate female singer BoA, Tablo of South Korean hip-hop group Epik High and jazz pianist Jin Bora. Anyband has only released one single of the same name.[10][11]

Throughout his career as TVXQ's member, Junsu had written and composed several songs that have appeared on the group's Korean and Japanese releases. His first composition was a ballad titled "Nae Gyeote Sumsuil Su Ittdamyeon (White Lie)" (네 곁에 숨쉴 수 있다면), included in TVXQ's third Korean studio album, "O"-Jung.Ban.Hap. At TVXQ's second Asian tour, he performed a solo self-composed dance track called "My Page". He also composed his solo slow-ballad "Rainy Night" of TVXQ's nineteenth Japanese single, If.../Rainy Night, an installment of the group's non-album release "TRICK" project. For TVXQ's Korean comeback in 2008, he wrote "Noeur... Baraboda (Picture of You)" (노을... 바라보다), which was featured in TVXQ's fourth Korean album. During TVXQ's third Asian tour, he performed another self-composed song "Xiahtic", which was then rearranged and performed in Japanese for his solo performance at the Tohoshinki 4th Live Tour 2009: The Secret Code in Tokyo Dome. The rearranged version of "Xiahtic" was also included in TVXQ's twenty-ninth Japanese single.

He has also appeared on two televised shows with TVXQ, Banjun Theater and Vacation.[12][13]

2009: Lawsuit against SM Entertainment

see also S.M. Entertainment - Contractual dispute with JYJ

On July 31, 2009, Kim Junsu and other two TVXQ members—Kim Jaejoong and Park Yoochun submitted an application to the Seoul Central District Court to determine the validity of their contract with SM Entertainment.[14][15] Through their lawyers, the members stated that the 13-year contract was excessively long, schedules were held out without the confirmation or permission of the members, contract terms have been extended and changed without their knowledge or consent and that the group's earnings were not fairly distributed to the members.[16]

The Seoul Central District Court granted the three members a temporary contract injunction in October 2009 and ruled that SM cannot interfere with their individual activities but also that they can only act as members of TVXQ through SM Entertainment.

In November 2012, the three years and four months lawsuit concluded as SM Entertainment and JYJ reached a mutual agreement to terminate all contracts between the two parties and not to interfere with each other's activities in the future. At a voluntary arbitration at the Seoul Central District Court, SM Entertainment finally agreed that its contract ended July 31, 2009, and that it would no longer interfere with JYJ’s endeavors in Korea.[17][18]

2010-2011: Solo projects and JYJ

At the beginning of 2010, Junsu starred in the South Korean production of Austrian musical Mozart!,[3] playing the lead role Wolfgang. His debut as a stage actor was met with great response, as the tickets for each one of his shows were completely sold out.[19] He's also able to sweep up all Best Newcomer awards in various awards ceremonies.

In April, the three-member group JYJ (initially known as JUNSU/JEJUNG/YUCHUN) was created, following an announcement made by Avex Trax, the trio's Japanese label at that time.[2] After Avex revealed that TVXQ would go on an indefinite hiatus, it's decided that Junsu would make his solo singing debut in Japan.[20] A teaser showing his self-composed song "Intoxication" was made public and announced as the lead track of his upcoming single. On May 26, he released the self-produced double A-side single (Refer Xiah (EP)).[20] A song that he recorded titled "Kanashimi no Yukue" (悲しみのゆくえ, The Whereabouts of Sadness) was used as the theme song for Japanese drama 5nen Atono Love Letter (5年後のラブレター, A Love Letter 5 Years From Now). BeeTV's <Beautiful Love ~君がいれば~> also used the other track in the single "君がいれば ~Beautiful Love~" as its theme song.

In September, JYJ released The..., their first Japanese EP, which debuted at number one on Japan's Oricon albums chart.[21] However, Avex had announced the suspension of all the group's activities in Japan the same month that year.[22] JYJ proceeded to release The Beginning, a global album which was sung in English. Junsu promoted the new album with JYJ via a worldwide showcase tour throughout October and November with dates in South Korea, Southeast Asia and the United States.

In October, Junsu was set to collaborate with Hungarian composer Sylvester Levay for a concert titled "Kim Junsu Musical Concert, Levay with Friends". It was held in Seoul at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena from the 7th until the 10th for a total of 4 days.[23] Well-known German musical actor Uwe Kröger who worked with Levay in several musicals visited South Korea to participate in the concert as a special guest.[24] During the show, Junsu introduced "Miss You So", a song that was written especially for him by Levay, to the fans.[24] He also performed "Intoxication" before Korean audience for the first time outside Japan.[24][25]

January 2011 saw the release of JYJ's Korean EP, Their Rooms "Our Story". Junsu contributed in writing and composing two songs in the album, an up-tempo track titled "Mission" and a ballad titled "Fallen Leaves". The next month, he starred in his second musical, "Tears of Heaven".[26][27] Junsu played Jun-Hyung, a Korean soldier who fell in love with a Vietnamese singer during the Vietnam war. It's reported that the tickets for his performance dates were sold out within minutes.[28]

Starting from April, Junsu toured Asia and North America for JYJ's first Worldwide Tour.[29] The tour is extended to Europe and South America, adding another four stops in Spain, Germany, Chile and Peru. In May, Junsu was appointed the honorary ambassador for the 5th Musical Awards, along with musical actress Jo Jung Eun.[30] He's also nominated for "Best Actor" and later won the "Popular Star Award" at the same award ceremony.[31] In August, Junsu released a song for Korean drama Scent of A Woman"s OST, "You Are So Beautiful". The song managed to top real-time music charts shortly after it was released. He also made an appearance in the drama as a popular singer that the main character idolizes and looks up to. In September, JYJ released their first Korean full-length album, In Heaven. Junsu and actress Song Ji-hyo featured in the six minutes long music video for the album's lead track, "In Heaven". A 10-minutes version was released later on, revealing the complete story line.[32] In November, Junsu won the "Popular Star Award" at the 17th Korea Musical Awards alongside "Tears of Heaven" co-star Yoon Gong Joo.[33] In December, he and South Korean actor Jang Geun-Suk received a K-POP Superstar Award at the “2011 Asia Jewelry Awards” held in Seoul.[34]

2012-present: Tarantallegra and Incredible

Junsu released his first Korean full-length solo album, Tarantallegra, in May 2012.[35][36] For the debut album, he directly took part in the production, composing and writing the lyrics for most of the songs. Rapper Flowsik of Asian-American music group Aziatix featured in the album's title track, "Tarantallegra". After unleashing two concept teasers, Junsu released a video teaser for "Tarantallegra", where he showed a drastic transformation into a completely new image. The music video was published in full on May 13, a day before the official album release. Despite limitations in media coverage and broadcasted TV and radio promotions, he has sold over 130,000[37] copies, becoming one of the year's highest selling solo albums on South Korea's record chart Gaon.[38] Through C-JeS Entertainment, his current management agency, Junsu revealed that he will be holding concerts within Asia, as well as North America, South America and Europe to promote the album. His Asian tour began on the 19th and 20 May at Seoul's Jamsil Indoor Stadium and continued on to Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan, China and Hong Kong. Ahead of the North American, South American, and European tour, C-JeS Entertainment revealed that Junsu had finished recording an English song and planned for a new single release. The single, titled Uncommitted is written by Bruce 'Automatic' Vanderveer, and includes a new version of song "Tarantallegra". "Uncommitted"'s music video, shot in the U.S., was directed by Marc Klasfeld and Ray Yeom.[39][40] Junsu also confirmed his remaining tour dates with stops in New York, Los Angeles, Mexico, Brasil, Chile and Germany. The first show was held at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom[41] and the final show held at Turbinenhalle in Oberhausen.

In October 2012, Junsu won his first "Best Actor" award at the 18th Korean Musical Awards for his performance as the transcendental existence Der Tod or The Death, a lead role in the world famous Viennese musical Elisabeth.[42][43] He had also received his third consecutive "Popular Star Award" at the 6th The Annual Musical Awards in June.[44][45] At the end of the year, Junsu held an all-live concert entitled "2012 XIA Ballad & Musical Concert with Orchestra", featuring ballads from his album as well as OST songs and a few pieces from his previous musicals, accompanied by an orchestra during the whole show.[46]

On February 25, 2013, Junsu (as JYJ) was invited to perform at South Korea's current president Park Geun-hye's inauguration ceremony held at the National Assembly Building’s Center Plaza, in front of more than 70,000 people.[47] Two months later, Junsu took the stage for JYJ's three days concert, "The Return of JYJ", held at the Tokyo Dome. The sold-out concert marks the first time JYJ had been able to perform in Japan after the contract with their former Japanese management agency Avex ended in 2010.

Incredible, Junsu's second Korean studio album, was released in July 2013.[48] Its lead track, "Incredible", was made by Bruce 'Automatic' Vanderveer,[49] who he collaborated with on his first English single. Prior to the album release, Junsu unveiled a digital single which will serve as pre-release track, called "11AM". On the 15th, he held a solo showcase at UNIQLO AX Hall in Seoul to commemorate the official release of Incredible.[50] His second headlining concert tour began the following week with its first stop in Bangkok, Thailand.

Philanthropy

Kim Junsu and his fans have been working closely with Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) Korea since 2008. ADRA Korea is a major welfare organization that was established through the UN in 1997. As reported in 2009, ADRA Korea had begun building houses and improving living conditions for their ‘Repair and Improvement’ project in underprivileged regions of Cambodia. The cause received much help from Junsu and his fans who donated money to the organization the previous year. The fan club members decided to give a thoughtful present by collecting donations and giving a fraction of it to ADRA Korea. Although Xiah Junsu is unknown to the people residing there, the village has been named ‘Xiah Junsu Village’ because of the generous donation.[51] As ‘Xiah Junsu Village’ had attracted a lot of attention, this project is expanded to other areas, including Pursat, for the purpose of creating safer living conditions for the impoverished children of Cambodia. Junsu had also worked for ‘Habitat for Humanity’ project, a cause supported by ADRA Korea as well.[52] The project aims to improve the environment of disadvantageous neighborhoods for people living in city of Dangjin. As of June 2013,[53] eight houses had been built for the handicapped and elderly living alone in Dangjin area as well as other people in poor living conditions, including a multicultural family living in Taean County.

Junsu is ranked as the #1 celebrity for Happy Energy, an online donation campaign launched by Naver.[54] He helps the Jirani children's choir from Kenya, Africa, to support the Jirani Arts School where children will continue to learn music. He stated that people can find inspiration and love through music, and wants to help create a music school in Kenya.

In December 2011, it was revealed that with the help of Junsu, a school had been built in the small village of Vealvong in rural region of Pursat Province, Cambodia.[55] The project was made possible through the efforts of Junsu's mother who highlighted the dire need of residents living there after her visit to the village. Junsu who was moved by the local inhabitants' desire for their children to receive education despite having other pressing needs, decided to shoulder the construction costs for a new school building in Pursat. The school building was finished after 5 months of construction, made up of six classrooms, separate rooms for special programs, restrooms and clean water supply facilities.[55] About 200 children start studying there for free, and an additional 100 are expected to enter soon.

As a soccer enthusiast and captain of the South Korean celebrities soccer team FC MEN (includes actors and idols such as Kim Hyun-Joong, B2ST‘s Doo-joon, Kikwang, Yo-seob, 2AM‘s Jin-woon, Seoul-ong, and other entertainers), Junsu and his team have participated in various charity matches.[56][57]
