A repost from:

Fans of the stars who work in various fields appeared.
There was a Yongsama’ fan among them.
I extracted some of the contents.


It has been 5 years since I started loving Yonsama.


I spent so much money on Yongsama.


Eight passionate fans of the celebrities.


We heard the story about how they became fans.


Who filed a bankruptcy?




Money spent to support Yongsama

Trip to Korea (21times) ... 3.15 mil Yen
Goods ... 3.00 mil Yen
Telephone bills. ... 3.00 mil Yen
Tuition to learn Korean cuisine. ... 0.44 mil Yen
Tuition to learn Korean ... 0.25mil Yen
etc. ... 1.16 mil Yen
Total ... 11.00 mil Yen

Leny: Perhaps I'll spent the same or more if only I have lots of money too, because of my love for "Honey Baeb" Yong Joon, he he he...


Telephone bills; because there are fans in Korea and Japan.


Telephone bill was 3 million Yen for the exchange information.

as if BYJ were in front of you.

For ‘Anime WLS’ BYJ co-starred with an actress CJW as voice actors
for the first time in seven years, and this became a hot topic
since those two appeared together on the stage for the first time in Japan.

In the event of ‘Travel to discover the beauty of Korea’

Release in May, Bae Yong Joon 3D at Tokyo Dome’
It will be released all over Japan including Tokyo and Osaka.

Actor, Bae Yong Joon produced 3D movie and it’ll be released all over Japan.

In May, Bae Yong Joon will release a movie, ‘Bae Yong Joon 3D at Tokyo Dome’ in Tokyo, Osaka, etc in Japan. This movie is a work which reformatted the lives of two events, animation ‘Winter Sonata’ and travel essay ‘Journey to discover the beauty of Korea’ which were held at Tokyo Dome in Japan last year. A person related to Bae Yong Joon said, “We will meet audiences at all of the movie theaters which are equipped to show 3D movies. It’ll be released in a bigger scale than moderate Korean commercial movies that were imported to Japan.”

Recently, Bae Yong Joon was inspired by the 3D fever which came with the success of Hollywood blockbuster movie ‘Avatar’. He plans to build his management company as a culture contents company in the future, he produced ‘Bae Yong Joon 3D at Tokyo Dome’ for the 3D movie as warming-up. The person above added, “About one hundred thousand fans gathered at Tokyo Dome at that time. But there were more fans that couldn’t come. Fans will see him closely through the 3D movie.”

Keyeast became a profitable company last year and Bae Yong Joon wants his ambition of developing a specialized culture contents company to seriously come true. The drama ‘Dream High’ project which connected JYP Entertainment to BYJ’s company in the early part of last year will be under way. Another person of Keyeast explained, “The challenge to produce 3D movies is one of their plans they want to create various products in the future.”

Yonsama' Tokyo Dome event to show in Japan's theaters

Three-dimensional footage of Hallyu star Bae Yong-joon's Tokyo Dome event from last year will be shown in theaters throughout Japan, according to his agency on Thursday.

The "Bae Yong-joon 3D in Tokyo Dome 2009", a 90 minute-long live video from the event, will open in some 100 3D theaters on May 22, KEYEAST announced in a press release.

"Viewers will be able to relive the event by seeing it on the large screens of 3D theaters with high-quality sound," an official at KEYEAST was quoted as saying. "We expect it to be a special experience for viewers and move their hearts at the same time."

The presentation, filmed by six 3D cameras at the site, will feature live shots from the two-day event; the premiere party for the animated version of his hit TV series "Winter Sonata" on September 29 and the promotional event for his photo essay “Discovering the Beauty of Korea” the following day.

The much-hyped event attracted some 90,000 fans to Tokyo Dome, who showed up to see Bae and his "Sonata" co-star Choi Ji-woo, and was broadcast live via satellite in theaters around the country.

The 37-year-old actor shot to mega-stardom in Asia with the success of 2002 KBS TV series "Sonata" and gained a huge following in Japan in particular, where he earned the nickname "Yonsama".

His photo essay "Discovering" contains self-taken photographs of various cultural artisans the actor met during his year-long travel around Korea. He authored the book in order to introduce Korean culture such as food, tradition and travel locations.

Bae is currently doing voice-over work for the animation version of "Sonata", which currently airs on Japan's DATV.
