Her goal was to get to Heaven. Of course, not literally. Pearl Ipanaqué camped on January 11th at the entrance to Plaza Vea of San Miguel to get a ticket IN HEAVEN (Super VIP). All to see the Korean band JYJ. That will make a performance on March 11 in our country. Some followers, more cautious, camped two days to secure their entrance.

“It was quite crazy! At 4 am more fans were arriving, all night they chanted and danced. They also send tweets to the boys of JYJ to know that Peruvian fans were going to buy tickets to see them.  Recalls Pearl who study management and international business.

[NEWS] 120207 JYJ’s Junsu opens up about being a musical star

JYJ member Kim Junsu who has built a strong fan base in Korea as well as overseas is now being featured in his third musical.

He took a different route from his fellow member Park Yoochun and Kim Jaejoong who opted to star in drama series.

‘Mozart’ was a project that I took on during the most difficult period in my life, and because of that, it is one that I will never be able to forget as long as I live,” he said.

He didn’t need to think twice about being in his current musical. It was a new project by Sylvester Levay, the composer behind the ingenious music of ‘Mozart’, the musical that Junsu feels so attached to.

This third musical is none other than ‘Elisabeth‘, a musical equally emotional and shocking as ‘Mozart’.
