Hello, everyone. I'm Jennifer with the latest K-pop news updates.
First up, we have JYJ who are now in full swing after returning home from their successful Latin American tour.
The trio's youngest, Kim Jun-su's first self-produced solo album is slated for release very soon, which has created an exciting buzz among his fans worldwide.
The much-anticipated album is expected to contain some songs written by the other two members, Kim Kim Jae-joong and Park Yoo-chun.
While Park Yoo-chun currently stars in the popular TV series "The Rooftop Prince", Kim Kim Jae-joong just has been cast as the male lead in an upcoming drama alongside Song Seung-heon. I wish the very best of luck to all JYJ members.
