JYJ's Junsu Gets Emotional During 1st TV Performance In 6 Years

Fans of JYJ's Kim Junsu witnessed a tender spectacle on April 30 as the singer performed in a South Korean TV broadcast, the first for the singer in six years.

Junsu sang several of his hits like "Love is Like Snow" and "Flower" in an episode of Space Sympathy aired in EBS, a South Korean radio and TV network.

"This is Xia performing on a music show for the first time in six years," Junsu said during the episode. "I really hoped to perform in a compact space where the sound could echo like this... the program also helped my dream come true. I am so happy. I will make this time an exchange of mutual feelings."

The singer spoke from the heart as he recounted the struggle he felt being pushed out of television appearances, calling upon resilience as his coping method.

"As many of you here today would know already, honestly, during the six years that I didn't perform... I will quote it 'I didn't' because it's too sad to say 'I couldn't'... it is true that it was very difficult, not being able to appear in music and variety shows as a Korean singer. Previously, I prioritized or even cancelled some shows because I had to star in so many. But now, I can't receive those contacts anymore. With times of resilience, I was able to stand here today. It's truly very tiring. It's difficult to even perform on stage. I don't know why it has to be this difficult... that is why I cannot forget today and this time."

Junsu fans rejoiced at the breakthrough milestone for their favorite singer.

"I cried with him when I saw him last night. How badly he must've wanted to be on screen," said an online commenter, a sentiment that garnered nearly 1,500 likes, translated and compiled by Netizenbuzz.

"Broke my heart yesterday... and his singing is as good as ever," said another online commenter.
