TVXQ’s Xiah Junsu (Kim Junsu) has set a new record in musical industry.
The performance days where Kim Junsu is casted as the main role in Musical Mozart, all seat tickets were sold out. In a short amount of time, the total 15 performances of Kim Junsu with approximately 45,000 tickets were already sold.
Even right after it was known that Kim Junsu was going to be casted, a chaos happened. When the 1st ticket sales opened, his fans bought 6000 tickets in an hour. On the 2nd sale, it sold out in 2 hours and had collapsed the site’s server. For the 3rd and 4th round ticket, despite Kim Junsu’s ticket sales that already opened in different time period (than the other Mozart actors), still the site connection slowed down and the tickets were sold old in only 3 hours.
This is something that never happen since Jo Seung-woo’s all ticket sold out which was ever happened in the past.
Other singers who had been casted in musicals as well such as Super Junior (Kangin, Heechul, Yesung, Sungmin) or Girl’s Generation (Jessica), Big Bang (Daesung, Seungri) and FT Island (Hongki, Jaejin)’s ticket sales has not been comparable to the mass result of Kim Junsu’s.
The ticket power made by Kim Junsu, an inexperienced idol singer in musical industry to set a stage which requires ability to sing, dance, and act at the same time has yet created many controversies. Economists have been predicting there will be more celebrities especially idol singers who will participate in this musical industry in the future.
To cast an idol star definitely never fail in supporting tickets sales. With Kim Junsu appearance, there are more audiences in range age of 10th – early 20th that give bigger attention to such musical genre performance as ‘Mozart’. Even it helps the entire show online ticket sales since the teenagers now have developed interest in watching the musical stage and went booking the other actors’ performances as well.
Let’s expecting the best musical stage “Mozart!” in the first half of 2010, from January 20 to February 21 which will take place at Sejong Cultural Center Grand Theater.

Even for the people who is not the fan of DBSK but have ever came across to hear Junsu’s voice in some extense; might wanna go grap the ticket of this Mozart Musical.
My point is that, it’s true that because of Junsu is a member of the most popular and sucessful group called ‘DBSK’ that gain a lot of attention from the fan and makes them want to see the musical. But I think that this is the only reason that cause tickets are sold out, his ability in singing and performing on the stage, which I believe is the ‘core’ point that attract all the fan (and not fan) towards this musical. It’s because of Junsu’s potential, well other artists who are involved in this musical are all important. But I think Junsu is the big part about this.
Thanks for sharing info!

wow junsu
dolphinator rules haha
i went to some blog, the author said junsu’s sold out tickets for the 15 performances is approximately 5 million dollars and he is saying maybe junsu will get the half of that money cuz obviously its his name power that got that musical revenues

i think so too
wohoo junsu got lots of money
By: amelia on January 6, 2010

I think that’s not true. He won’t be getting so much. There are many other actors and actresses, stage rental and many other expenses too.

and not to forget he’s still a newbie…
but OMG, i’m soooooo proud of him xD

not sure about that, this is not hollywood people. This is korea, his status there is a top star. NO matter what he does there, his appearance fee will equal his status as top star.
well i’m just hoping junsu will get a big appearance fee
By: lani_chun on January 6, 2010

i agree with you
fyi the musical is banking on junsu’s name
they know junsu will have a sold out sales
so i’m pretty sure they offered junsu big part of the money
and the fact that sm will not get a single cent from his appearance fee
junsu will enjoy the big paycheck
junsu as a newbie? maybe as a musical singer since this is his first time
but money wise, junsu will have a big appearance fee for this musical
we are talking about korea here lol
the expensive ticket cost 140 USD
thats really expensive for a musical

I just love the fact that SM wont get anything for Junchan’s Mozart activities..
Yeah ..I’ve read somewhere too that Junchan might get a fee approximately 1 million USD for Mozart appearance..I think the sum its quite fair.
Go Go.. XIAHZART..

“an inexperienced idol singer in musical industry ”
BUT he definitely has the talent in singing, dancing and acting in live performances. Audiences are going to be fascinated by his performances.
Look forward to Junsu’s Xiahzart.

GAWD 45,000 ??? O_O
A LOT is an understatement, seriously… i mean, in korea 45k people equals VERY successful concerts as well. even the recent successful solo concerts are probably 20k people…
i won’t be surprised if this is really becoming a new trend in the idol world,,,

I seriously doubt he will get as much as half of the proceeds. But even if he gets 10%, that will be more than what SM has paid him in the last couple years.

woohhoo go junsu! so proud of him! damn all 15 of his concerts sold out! i knew all his performances sold out but 15 performances! 0.o
this obviously show how very popular junsu is in korea. many many other idols have tried to go into musicals but arent even met with any response. n some of them werent even the lead! but this is a first time for susu n he is the main character.
im really excited that money is goin straight into susu pocket! like some of the others said none goin into sm! yay. n 45k is really alot of people tokyo dome is about 50k. n even most popular korean idol concert is about 1o-20k ish.
musicals are very expensive cuz its live. its liek a concert mix with a drama even more pressure. stage work is no games. n with su extending the audience age range to a new level is a great accomplishment. i bet su will be offered alot of stage work in the future! susu hwaiting

jun chan go go go!!!
I wish to see this musical also, just for the fact of hearing his beautiful voice. Too bad i dont live in korea and even if i did, trying to get even one those tickets is is harder then anything.
I think jun chan will do great in his musical, he has a great memory when it comes to music and dance, he is great live and has CHARISMA. i envy those who get to see xiahzart T_T
