"We are just thrilled in getting to see our fans in China for the first time since our last showcase tour six months ago," the members of JYJ were quoted as saying. "The performance in China is even more meaningful since it is the last stop of our shows in Asia. So we will give it our all."

The boys have performed in front of over ten thousand fans during their previous concerts in Thailand and Taiwan, while they will head off to North America with shows in Vancouver, Canada on May 20 followed by concerts in New Jersey on May 22, Los Angeles on May 27 and San Jose on June 3.

Jaejoong, Yuchun and Junsu made their debut in 2004 as part of popular boy band TVXQ, but later broke off from it despite their phenomenal success in Asia, after becoming involved in a legal dispute with the their agency SM Entertainment.

The three made their comeback to the music scene in October of last year as a trio under the name JYJ and released their record in mid-October after which they held a global showcase and held their first concert as JYJ.

Outside of their group activities, Jaejoong is currently looking over various scripts for local dramas, Junsu will reprise his role in the musical "Mozart!" in June and Yuchun is busy shooting MBC's upcoming TV series "Ripley (translated title)."
