Korean idols JYJ, composed of members Jaejoong, Yuchun and Junsu, performed in front of 10,000 fans in China over the weekend.

On Monday, the group's promoter Prain Inc. announced in a press release that the boys took the stage at the Capital Indoor Stadium in Beijing of China on May 7 for the final leg of their world tour in Asia.

The trio performed a number of their popular songs from their world album "The Beginning" as well as showing the concert's concept of 'creative challenge' which was planned and directed by JYJ member Jaejoong.

"This world tour was the beginning of something new for us and we were able to express and say what we wanted to on stage," the members of JYJ were quoted as saying. "It was great being able to meet our fans in Asia and we want to thank them for always showing their support and love for us."

The boys previously held shows in Thailand, Taiwan and China for a total of four shows which attracted over 43,000 fans in total and are now set to head off to North America for concerts 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 2.

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 trio 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 their first concert as JYJ.
