[News] JYJ’s Jaejoong attends a state dinner with Turkish and South Korean presidents

Pada tanggal 6, JYJ Jaejoong diundang untuk makan malam di Istana Presiden di Turki bersama dengan presiden Korea Selatan Lee Myung Bak dan istri presiden.

Jaejoong mengelilingi Turki dengan Presiden Lee dengan mengadakan fanmeeting budaya, dan menghadiri jamuan negara.

Dewan Turki- Korea mengatakan, "artis favorit Korea- Turki, JYJ Jaejoong, diundang dan menggelar fanmeeting. Kami berharap bahwa event telah memberikan kontribusi terhadap penyebaran Hallyu dan akan membantu obligasi yang lebih baik antara Turki dan Korea Selatan".

Presiden Lee Myung Bak mengadakan kuliah pengajaran di Ankara University, di mana dia memperkenalkan Jaejoong. Jaejoong kemudian berbagi refleksinya tentang budaya Korea, dan sebagai imbalannya, belajar beberapa frase Turki dari para siswa.

Jaejoong mengungkapkan pemikirannya, "Ketika saya memasuki pesta itu, saya disambut oleh presiden Turki dan Presiden Lee Myung Bak, yang menyapa saya mengatakan, 'Anda datang'. Saya sangat gugup berada di posisi tersebut, tapi saya akhirnya santai karena semua orang begitu ramah dan memanggil saya 'JJ', jadi saya punya waktu yang baik. Selama tiga hari, banyak orang mengatakan kepada saya bagaimana JYJ adalah benar-benar populer [di sini] - Saya berharap untuk segera kembali dengan seluruh anggota saya untuk menggelar konser".

Agen Jaejoong C-Jes menyatakan, "Kami telah mendengar bahwa JYJ dan Jaejoong memainkan peran besar dalam mempopulerkan musik Korea dan drama di Turki. Juga, Jaejoong telah bertemu orang-orang penting di pesta dan mereka mengambil foto bersama mengingat ini acara khusus. Jaejoong telah menyelesaikan misi budaya".

Jaejoong sekarang akan fokus pada persiapan untuk konser JYJ di Chili dan Peru pada bulan Maret.

On February 6th, JYJ’s Jaejoong was invited to dinner at the Presidential Palace in Turkey along with South Korea’s president Lee Myung Bak and the president’s wife.

Jaejoong toured Turkey with President Lee, held a cultural fan meeting, and attended a state banquet.

Turkey’s Korean Council said, “Turkey’s favorite Korean artist, JYJ’s Jaejoong, was invited and a fan meeting was held. We hope that the fan meeting has contributed to the spread of Hallyu and will help better bonds between Turkey and South Korea.”

President Lee Myung Bak held a special lecture at Ankara University, where he introduced Jaejoong himself. Jaejoong then shared his reflections on Korean culture, and in return, learned some Turkish phrases from the students.

After the lecture, Jaejoong attended a state dinner with Lee Myung Bak and Turkey’s president, along with other Turkish officials.

Jaejoong revealed his thoughts on his stay saying, “When I entered the banquet, I was greeted by the Turkish president and President Lee Myung Bak, who greeted me saying, ‘You came’. I was really nervous to be in such a position, but I eventually relaxed because everyone was so friendly and called me ‘JJ’, so I had a good time. Over these three days, many people told me how JYJ is really popular [here] — I hope to come back soon with the rest of my members to hold a concert.”

Jaejoong’s agency C-JeS Entertainment stated, “We have heard that JYJ and Jaejoong played a big role in popularizing Korean music and dramas in Turkey. Also, Jaejoong has met many important people at the banquet and they took a photo together to remember this special occasion. Jaejoong has completed his cultural mission.”
