JYJ returned home late last week to perform two concerts on November 27 and 28 at the Main Olympic Stadium in Jamsil in Seoul.
The November 27 concert was said to have suffered from some setbacks, most notably the hail and fierce winds that took off the tent that had been installed over the roof of the stadium to protect the 35,000 fans from the below-freezing weather. The removal of the roof caused the concert to be delayed an hour. In reference to this, and also the many difficulties that have plagued JYJ from the start, Junsu said, "Getting struck by wind is said to happen only to those who are flying. I believe that the many winds that we are being struck with are blessings in disguise, meaning that we will fly high up."
Even in terms of the two-day concert, this could be said to be true, as the difficulties faced during the first concert were absent during the second. JYJ's team quickly took advantage of some of the mediocre details observed during the first concert, such as an awkward arrangement of floor seating and an under-used side stage, and corrected them in time for the second concert. In addition, the initial minor awkwardness felt by the fans who could not understand the emotional depth of many of the songs in the English-language album "The Beginning", had disappeared by the second as fans had a chance to grow accustomed to the songs. But during both concerts, the fans were rewarded by JYJ with strong performances from their album, "The Beginning", as well as solo performances and covers. The slick dance moves, designed by celebrity choreographer Jeri Slaughter, as well as the impressive light show, helped ensure a top-notch concert.
