Experts project SM Entertainment will post $40.3 million USD in revenue for Q4 2012

[frantastic.livejournal.com]

Asset management and Brokerage firm Korea Investment & Securities (KI&S) has predicted that SM Entertainment will bring in 43.7 billion KRW (approximately $40.3 million USD) in revenue, and 13.7 billion KRW (approximately $12.6 million USD) in profit for the fourth quarter of 2012.

The sales are expected to increase by 11% compared to last year, and a profit increase of 51.3% over Q4 2011. Even though the company’s third quarter results fell short of analyst expectations, they are still growing as a content-producing enterprise and theirgrowth doesn’t seem to be slowing down. The company is actively promoting in Japan and China, and there will also be a synergy effect for SM C&C. SM C&C plans to expand as an Asian video content and drama production center, in addition to becoming a global acting management business.

The projected results are based from Girls’ Generation‘s single and full album release in Japan, as well as their plan for a Japanese arena tour and American album release early next year. The SM TOWN concerts also brought in an incredible number of audience members in Singapore and Thailand. Not only so, but the Super Junior KRY unit had their own concert in Japan in front of an audience of 15,000, and they’ve added more dates due to demand. TVXQ has also started their world tour.

EXO is also said to have a new album slated for release in December, and will enter the Chinese market next year as well. 1-2 new groups will also debut next year, and f(x) along with BoA will be re-entering the Japanese market as well. The company also saw an incredibly successful year in Japan not only from Girls’ Generation, but also SHINee and Super Junior.

A researcher from Korea Investment & Securities said, “Based on their activities, the earnings that they receive from Japan is estimated to be around 20 billion KRW (approximately $18.4 million USD).Their domestic and foreign sales are increasing as well.“

‘I Miss You’ Park Yoochun, Simply an Actor

[ceecile.livejournal.com]

JYJ member and actor Park Yoochun is proving himself to be just an actor.

He is currently starring in MBC drama “I Miss You” as a determined and hurt detective Han Jung Woo. He had been living his life in guilt after losing his first love Soo Yeon (Yoon Eun Hye) and chases criminals with a steady charisma sure to scare anyone.

He seems to undergo very drastic mood changes and this can be dangerous for an actor but Park Yoochun was able to pull it off nicely. When he was down, he was really down but when his emotions were really necessary, he was explosive and expressive.

Many idol actors try to bring their stage mannerisms to dramas and this never works. However, Park Yoochun has definitely practiced his craft with his previous projects and he’s an actor who only focuses on his character, rather than his own self-image.

“I Miss You” continues to air the painful love story between two long-lost lovers and many are praising Park Yoochun’s portrayal.

Kim Jaejoong Part ?

[ceecile.livejournal.com]

(Introductory statements & previously translated parts omitted.)

Upon the news about the interview with Kim Jaejoong, a lot of his fans sent their questions they would like to know to Kim Jaejoong.

- How is living as Kim Jaejoong in South Korea?
It is really a bliss. The tough things I feel are what other celebrities also feel. The degree is similar. For my case, I think it is a bliss that I receive much economically and socially. It is grateful that I am working hard and doing what I love. Moreover, I am loved by so many for this.

- Do fans’ wild affection not give you a hard time?
“If JYJ had activities and opportunities equally as other idol groups or entertainers, they wouldn’t be this wild as now. However, I think, because they don’t have many places to express [their minds], they express themselves passionately when opportunities are given to them.
