Kim Jaejoong has proved himself to be one of the best of the original Hallyu Stars.

On July 27th, SBS’s Soul Mokdong Drama Center held a press conference for their new drama “Protect the Boss”, which was heavily attended by Korean and Japanese press.

The hot news of JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong’s acting debut brought in a great number of television stations and reporters from Japan.

An SBS PR agent stated “there were more reporters applying to attend than we had places for,” and, “we received dozens of letters asking us why we couldn’t accept more of the Japanese media to take part in the conference”.


He followed by saying “Even though we could not accept all the news sites that wanted to cover [the event], we could feel Kim Jaejoong’s popularity among the Japanese fans”.

Meanwhile, as the followup to the drama “City Hunter”, Protect the Boss’s first broadcast is scheduled for August 3rd. In it Kim Jaejoong plays the Director of C group’s Business Strategy Team, Cha Muwon, who is noted to be a Prince in the financial world.
