JYJ starts touring Korea for autograph sessions

JYJ [Prain Inc.]

Singing trio JYJ started touring Korea yesterday to hold autograph sessions promoting the release of their worldwide album "The Beginning."

A press release by the boys' promoter Prain Inc. said Friday that purchasers of the limited edition of "The Beginning" will be able to take part in autograph sessions set to be held in five cites across the nation including Seoul, Daegu, Busan, Incheon and Gwangju."We're hoping the nationwide autograph session will be a Christmas gift to fans who have lavished JYJ with support since their album's release," JYJ's Korea management agency C-jes was quoted as saying.

JYJ, formed of Jaejung, Yuchun and Junsu, made their debut in 2004 as part of the popular boy band TVXQ, but despite their phenomenal success in Asia, they ceased their activities as a group after being involved in a legal dispute with the Korean agency SM Entertainment.

They made a comeback to the music scene in October as a trio under the name JYJ and released their record in mid-October after which they held a global showcase and held their first concert as JYJ.
