Day by day, JYJ’s international activities as Korean representatives are
attracting much attention. On August 26th, ‘The 10th International
Congress on AIDS in Asia and the Pacific‘ was held at Busan’s BEXCO, and
JYJ held a celebration concert for their appointment as goodwill
ambassadors for UN’s affiliated organization, UNAIDS, in the
Asia-Pacific region. A group of 4,000 from more than 70 countries
attended the event, and listened as JYJ delivered the message to
strengthen efforts in AIDS prevention and awareness. Members Jaejoong
and Yoochun stated, “AIDS is becoming a big issue internationally, and
we are trying to do activities for its prevention and awareness.“ Junsu
continued, “Even though AIDS is a fatal disease, you can live longer
through steady treatment. However, since there is no perfect treatment,
we need care and effort.” Meanwhile, on September 4th, JYJ will appear
as Hallyu stars and sing for the closing ceremony of the ‘2011 Daegu
World Athletics Championships‘. The ‘2011 Daegu World Athletics
Championships’ was organized by the International Association of
Athletics Federation (IAFF), which drew over 2,000 of the world’s
athletes to the city of Daegu. JYJ will celebrate the successful
conclusion of the 9-day competition with a charismatic performance
that’s sure to entrance worldwide fans. JYJ’s agency, C-JeS
Entertainment, stated, “JYJ’s potential continues to grow as JYJ
performs at worldwide concerts and showcases. Love calls for JYJ to
attend these global events are never-ending.”
