J.RICH was Touched by Yunho’s FriendshipStarring
a high school friend in their MV “Goodbye My Love”, new vocal group J.
Rich has finally broken into the music scene.
A newly formed
R&B group, J.RICH, comprising of members Woojoo, Im Hyun and Ha Joon
has recently started their activities promoting their new single
‘Goodbye My Love’. They have attracted a lot of attention even before
their debut due to the fact that they had invited UKnow Yunho to star
in their music video. Before this, UKnow Yunho had never appeared in
other artiste’s music video. “Goodbye My Love’ is his first, and this
underlies a special relationship between the members and Yunho.
“I
was friends with Yunho since high school, and being a guy with huge
popularity in school since then, he is a friend whom I have always
admired. As compared to our schooling days, we have become much closer
in Seoul. Having both left our hometown, we now provide support for each
other. Though I have asked him for help, I did not expect him to really
agree to appear in the music video.” (WooJoo)
This friendship
with Yunho was built through a gathering formed by 14 people all born in
the year 1985. The fourteen of them would chip in a certain amount
every month to help fund their voluntary works. Last year, during a
birthday celebration, WooJoo brought up the suggestion of having Yunho
star in his own MV. Yunho has since promised and fulfilled it.
“At
the beginning I thought that he will reject this, and I have not heard
any news regarding that. But after that I got to know what happened; I
heard that Yunho had promised to appear in the music video and he had
personally persuaded his company to let him do so. I was really touched;
I always thought that he was a loyal friend, and I got to see him from a
brand new perspective through this incident.”
Thanks to Yunho,
J.RICH have made themselves well-known in a short period of time. Not
only did they manage to appear on the online search engine charts, and
they have also managed to top charts, which really show their
popularity. But the responses from Dong Bang Shin Ki fans are different
as they perceived this act of making use of Yunho as a marketing tool to
boost their popularity. But there are also a few who support the
friendship between both Yunho and WooJoo. However, one should
acknowledge that this is the decision made by Yunho, who understands all
the hard work his friend had been putting in for the past 10 years..

non-related part omitted –“I was all alone during those
difficult times and it was really lonely then. Now I’m happy because all
of us are together. This album consists of all our hardwork combined.
We hope that everyone can sincerely listen to every single song in It.”
(WooJoo)
J.RICH’s ‘Goodbye My Love’ is a smooth ballad, which
leaves a deep impression in everyone. Future promotional activities are
currently in the planning process. A new song will be be released in
July and their summer activities in Japan are also in the process of
being planned out.
