JYJ's vocalist Kim Junsu has proved his belting strength as a K-pop artist by selling out the tickets to his first solo concert.

Having sold out all 4,500 tickets of his musical this summer, "Mozart," in just five minutes, Kim has marked another surprising record by selling out 17,000 tickets to his first solo concerts to be held at the Olympics Stadium, Seoul, on May 19 and 20, according to his agency C-JeS Entertainment.

A C-JeS official said in the statement that, "As soon as we put the tickets on sale, the tickets ran out and the website's server went down which was practically less than five minutes; maybe between three and four."

Though the artist and other members of JYJ have been making controversies due to their reactions to 'sasaeng fans'-- fans who even stalk their favorite stars to an extreme point--the three members have successfully wrapped up their concerts in South America last month.

The team's other members are currently active with their small screen activities, with Park Yuchun appearing in SBS' "Rooftop Prince" and Kim Jaejoong being cast in MBC's upcoming drama, "Timeslip Dr. Jin," (tentative title) set to air in May.
