The Reasons JYJ's Junsu Named His Solo Album as XIA

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:33:32 +0000

JYJ's Kim Junsu confessed why he named the title of his solo album as XIA .During the press conference for his first album Xia-Tarantallegra at Lotte Hotel, Seoul on 16th, Kim Junsu said I believe we should use any name that we want. Although Jaejoong and Yuchun didn t like old names that much, I liked it. He explained I thought my identity and image is implied in this one word XIAH . I did not try to hide or ostracize the name Xiah but used real name more naturally during the solo activity like musicals. Xiah is the stage name Kim Junsu used since he debuted as TVXQ at SM Entertainment in the past.Kim Junsu added Because it is natural/obvious for me to use the name, I have never thought deeply. Only the situation has changed but I have not changed. He explained the reason why the spelling changed from Xiah to Xia I changed because I thought ending with A looked more complete than ending with H. Meanwhile, Kim Junsu s first full-length album Xia Tarantallegra has 12 songs including Tarantallegra and I dislike love . Best rappers have participated for this album too. He sings soul, R&B with Dynamic Duo s Gaeko, Aziatix's Flowsik and Bizzy have participated. Kim Junsu will hold Asia Tour in 7 cities beginning with the full-length concerts at Jamsil Indoor Stadium on 19th and 20th. translated by : dlwpdldhkdlwp
