Jaejoong said this event was Junsu’s idea. Junsu said that he thought only admission was going to be free, but every since he realized that EVERYTHING is free, it has been a bit hard. He was joking, by the way. JYJ spends 3.7 billion KRW (USD$3.2 million) for this expo...just for their Korean & Japanese fans.
JYJ managed to draw 22,000 fans and a record-breaking number of foreign fans to its four-day fan event.
The Membership Week event was Korea’s first fan exhibition, and, according to C-JeS Entertainment, drew 7,024 Japanese fans to Korea.
An agency rep stated, “An official from the airport said that it ‘drew the largest number of foreigners to the country for just one event,’ and the tourism industry agrees that ‘the economic effects from the foreigners that entered the country for Membership Week amount to more than 10 billion won.’”[Note: 10 billion South Korean Won equals to roughly ~8.7 million USD] |
