P1簽證是為藝術家, 演藝家和體育家臨時前往美國參加特定的比賽或活動.

南韓團體「JYJ」因美國演唱會簽證遭拒，為允諾和歌迷的約定，他們只好將紐約、拉斯維加斯、洛杉磯3場演唱會改為免費的Showcase（搶聽會），此舉一度被懷疑因票房不佳才出此下策，遭經紀公司否認。

簽證遭拒 原因不明

JYJ所屬「C-Jes娛樂」前天在官網表示，當地粉絲即日起可辦理退票手續，雖然詢問簽證遭拒絕的原因，但遲遲沒有答覆，不過成員們對於改為免費的Showcase則表示開心，俊秀更在推特上發表心情，寫下「不管怎麼阻止我們…我們都會努力走到底。」

他們10日的夏威夷場因簽證及成員有天身體狀況不佳等問題取消，讓當地歌迷大失所望，這次美國當地時間12日、14日和19日分別在紐約、拉斯維加斯、洛杉磯的3場演唱會改以免費方式如期舉行，令歌迷既感動又開心。而他們的新專輯「全新啟點THE BEGINNING」下月將在美國發行。

Recently we reported about some trouble brewing for JYJ’s US Concert Tour. The boys allegedly can’t get working visas, so they’re unable to claim an income from the sales.

ENTITLED ENTERTAINMENT recently updated their website confirming what we first reported and they’ve also shed light that the members will pay for the showcase themselves to honor their commitment to their fans in the US. In other words, they will perform free concerts for the fans.

JYJ’s P1 Visas Denied for US Performance

Members decides to pay for showcase themselves to honor their commitment to their fans in the US

11 November 2010 – JYJ has decided to go ahead and perform for their fans in the US despite being denied of their P1 visas. Cjes Management, the management company for JYJ has stated that it is of utmost importance that JYJ keeps their promise to their fans and they have been in New York since the 9th to await the decision only to be given the disappointing news.

According to US lawyers advising the team on the situation, JYJ will still be able to take stage on the condition that the performance is free and they receive no monetary benefit for the performance. Due to the fact that substantial costs has already been incurred by the promoters for production, flights, accommodations, there will still be a financial responsibility to be fulfilled which JYJ has decided to undertake this upon themselves to make the events happen.

Says Cjes Entertainment CEO, Mr Baek Chang Ju, “We are still awaiting the official reason to why their P1 visas have been denied since the band has followed every procedure required and also did their interviews accordingly. We are extremely puzzled by this matter and will continue investigations into it. For now, JYJ’s primary objective is to make sure that fans are still able to catch the showcase. Hence we have decided to step in on all costs associated with putting on the show to make sure that the events go on as planned.”

All venues have been informed on setting up FAQs on how fans can receive a refund on the tickets they bought. In addition, fans who have paid for a ticket will also receive a ticket to the free showcase. The rest of the tickets will be allocated on a first come first serve basis from Ticketmaster.

The refund process will start at 12pm on the 11th November 2010.

It’s good to see JYJ’s commitment to their fans despite the issues that they’re having.


BREAKING: JYJ’s tour in shambles(踉蹌, 蹣跚), possible cancellation?

by allkpop on November 11, 2010

JYJ has been surrounded by a lot of controversy lately due to the sudden cancellations of their Seattle, San Francisco, and Hawaii stops on their ‘JYJ World Tour‘. Now, multiple sources close to the tour have recently come forward to allkpop and have disclosed that preparations for the remaining three stops (New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles) have been nothing short of a free-flowing disaster.

According to these sources, JYJ’s PR team was scheduled to go to the Korean press this morning to announce the cancellation of the entire U.S. leg of their world tour.

The tour was already on the verge of a breakdown, as the shows were already privately called off at two or three different times. Yet somehow, they decided that the show had to limp on, despite the fact that the boys now no longer had venues to perform in.

Apparently, the respective venues for each stop were contacted this morning and informed that the shows were off. Now though, after their most recent change of heart, the production team is scrambling to re-book or find alternative stages for JYJ to perform on, as a way of avoiding cancelling the shows altogether.

With the New York show less than 24 hours away, their team is already racing against the clock. However, the team has been served a shorter deadline from the higher echelons of the agency – if venues cannot be secured in 12 hours, JYJ’s management will pull the plug on the entire U.S. operation.

Even if JYJ’s team did manage to find venues, the sources declared that they’re forced at this point to make at least one of them a free concert. The boys allegedly can’t get working visas, and so they’re unable to claim an income from the sales. Fans who have already purchased the expensive tickets can feel a little relief in knowing that they will be reimbursed fully, regardless of whether the show will go on or not.

An announcement made over JYJ’s official ‘US Tour’ Facebook page (“HUGE NEWS BREWING. STAY TUNED…“) indicated to our sources that it could only be one of the two aforementioned outcomes: a free show (which is what they are shooting for), or the cancellation of the entire U.S. tour.

Just to be clear, there is no official confirmation from JYJ’s people that they have indeed cancelled all three remaining shows. However, sources within JYJ’s camp have regrettably acknowledged that our information surrounding the tour is accurate. So unless a minor miracle happens, fans may be in for crushing news, but either way, the bottom line is that things are a mess.

Stay tuned to allkpop for further updates on this breaking news.

Update: If we didn’t make it clear enough, please realize that this is not the direct fault of JYJ themselves. We have not said anything, nor have we inferred anything of the sort.

Rather, we believe that this mess revolves around patchy planning and faulty management, along with schemes made by public relations individuals to try and twist the reality of the situation into something that would make it appear more attractive to the fans.

Furthermore, while you should rightfully feel sympathetic for JYJ, please also remember the staff, venues, vendors, and all the other innocent bystanders who were caught up in the crossfire of poor decision-making. JYJ will always have your support to lean on, but the lives of others who were adversely affected do not have anything nearly as strong to support them.

For now, JYJ fans should simply hope that their management can pull everything together at the last minute and put on a great show for all their loyal supporters, even if it is a free concert.

Hope that helps clarify things.
