161207: JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong to jumpstart promotions after military discharge with a fanmeeting
JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong will hit the ground running as soon as he returns to civilian life!
According to an official notice on C-JeS Entertainment’s website, the singer will be holding a fanmeeting on December 31st, the day after he is discharged from the military.
They wrote that it will be an outdoor event, and 200 randomly selected people will be able to participate in the fan sign that will occur during the meeting. As it is a way for fans and Kim Jaejoong to celebrate his discharge together, it appears it will be more talk-based rather than performance-based.
The singer will also immediately begin preparing for his upcoming January concerts, and may expand the tour worldwide.
Kim Jaejoong began his military service back on March 31, 2015, and is currently serving as a military band member of the 55th Infantry Division of the Army. He will be officially discharged on December 30th.

The title track “Love You More” was nominated in KBS2’s Music Bank confirming his continued popularity in Korea and overseas.

CJeS announced Kim Jaejoong’s comeback with a concert tour after he finished his military service. They also added a caution, “It’s too early to discuss details of his future activities.”
“Plans of his future activities will be officially announced in synchro with time of his discharge…”
“It’s too early to talk about his activities after his discharge.”
“We can confirm that agency’s employees in charge are in process of concert tour planning. But the artist is still in his military service, so the official schedule can be only announced after considering more future developments.”
