This tour aims to promote their 2nd album called “Just us”. This would be their last concert series in a while because two out of the three members of the band are set to begin their mandatory military service.

JYJ is the abbreviation of the three members’ names Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu. In 2010, the three left their previous group TVXQ (or DBSK) after a legal battle with their former management company SM Entertainment.

Since then, JYJ has published albums such as “Beginning” (collaborated with Kanye West in the single “Ayyy Girl”), “Their room, Our Story”, which is a type of “music essay” album with six songs written by the three members and they also participated and helped produce various sold out concerts around the world. Each member of the band has their own talents besides singing such as acting.

The first 20,000 tickets for the opening concert in Seoul were sold out in 20 minutes. Furthermore, the number of fans choosing to buy their tickets online greatly surpassed the website’s capability, leading to site lag.

Similarly, the website of the JYJ concert in Vietnam – The Return of The King 2014 crashed on the evening of July 28 after the official sale was opened for only three minutes.

Tickets for the concert can now be purchased at http://ticketbox. vn/jyj2014 with prices ranging from VND1.2 million to VND3.5 million.
