The third and final stop of the JYJ concert was held in Los Angeles. While an unofficial line stretching nearly an entire block began as early as 9am, the actual event started around 8:30PM. The concert was held at USC’s Galen Center, where Shane Yoon and Arden Cho were MCs. Fans came from as far as China for the last US showcase by JYJ and chanted “JYJ” waving their glow sticks while waiting for the show to begin.
After being introduced by both MCs and a short video, JYJ slowly arose from the stage and began performing “Empty”. As with the other two showcases, they then moved onto “Be The One” and “Be My Girl”. Their singing and dancing easily moved the crowd, causing both excited screaming and awed reverence. After the two songs, there were also short videos of JYJ played on the large screens. The first featured them writing messages to the fans on glass, the second showed the members during rehearsals and preparations for their album.
Following the opening three songs, the MCs returned to begin the Q&A session with the JYJ members.
The interview below is merely a summary and not a complete transcription.
Shane: They hooked me up with this outfit and showed me some dance moves. Next year, are you guys ready for JYJ and SPAM?
Arden: I think Shane’s got a shot. That was pretty good, right? You guys having fun? Let’s give it up for JYJ one more time!
Shane: Man, these clothes are tight! Literally, it’s really tight. I can’t breathe.
Arden: I think Shane needs a diet. Maybe.
Shane: I thought Jaejoong and I were the same size but he’s like-(interrupted by fans). Are you guys calling me fat? (crowd chuckles)
Arden: Alright¸ who’s the biggest JYJ fan here? (crowd screams)
Arden: Well, who’s your favorite JYJ member? (crowd screams)
The MCs call out each name: Yoochun (screams), Jaejoong (screams), Junsu (screams).
