A.N.JELL holds its last concert
by javabeans
As previously announced, the cast of SBS’s You’re Beautiful held another mini-concert on November 23, where footage was shot for the drama’s final episode, which airs this Thursday.
The mini-concert was held at Seoul’s Melon AX Hall at 6pm and featured all four of its main cast members — Jang Geun-seok, Park Shin-hye, Lee Hong-ki, Jung Yong-hwa — who make up the fictional idol band A.N.JELL in the show. Even with only a few days’ notice, a crowd of more than 2,500 fans showed up.
A source with the production company explained, “The first concert happened before the drama began airing, and I was shocked by fans who showed up through word of mouth. But this ending concert doesn’t even compare to that in how much the fans cheered, which made me feel the enthusiasm for the drama for real. The actors and production team were spurred by that as they continue filming.”
Naturally, the concert featured the songs that have been prominently featured in the drama, which were sung by the actors themselves. Those included A.N.JELL’s “Promise” and “Still”; Jang Geun-seok also sang a few solos with “Good Bye” and “What Do I Do,” the latter of which is the track Tae-kyung remakes for his mother in the drama. Park Shin-hye sang her character’s theme song, “Lovely Day.”
Jang said, “Now that You’re Beautiful is ending, I feel really sad. SBS is wondering if they should seriously consider making a Season 2. Because we were scheduled against such a huge drama [IRIS], there was a lot of talk about us being doomed to die in the timeslot, but the fact that we stayed alive is the power of you all.”
(Note: Don’t get too carried away — this does NOT mean there will be a Season 2!)
After everything had ended, Jang said, “Thank you for coming to our final episode shoot. Thanks to you, I’m very happy.” Park Shin-hye said, “Thanks to You’re Beautiful, I’ve gained so much.” Lee Hong-ki concluded by saying, “In the future, we won’t be acting just as A.N.JELL anymore but as individuals, so please keep watching for us. Later on, I’ll set up my own agency and produce A.N.JELL myself.”
Meanwhile, the soundtrack continues to be a hit. Last month, it had sold more than 20,000 albums within its first week, which is an unusually high number for a soundtrack. Well, it has continued to perform strongly and has now sold more than 30,000 units total.

*extending both of her hands for world's largest group hugs*
never felt this emotional before about a drama, but I'm really glad i'm part of the fancraze, the fun discussions, the addiction to JB daily cracks, the websites crash, the squeels, the famous TK pouting lips and many more. Even though I watch the episodes alone, it always feels like I'm watching them with friends, even putitng things in my head of what could be the next topic for discussion everytime it aires on my laptop. It's my first kdrama craze ever, and I'm SOOO glad it's YAB!
On season 2, of course I wanted more, but I'm also glad it's done at 16. They should stop while it's still good, and on the rise, so that everyone would leave with good feelings, instead of having 20, or 2 seasons, but not reaching the expectations. Plus, like someone wise said up there, the kids need rest.
p/s: I think we need more than one jeremy's magic bus, and longer rounds. :(

Wow, really that much of fans showed up in the concert? WOW... i am extremely amazed. Hats off to those fans and all the fans all around the world...
Even the ratings weren't that good as Iris, i think YAB is more popular than any other kdrama in 2009. IT'S the Best kdrama. With all the fans all around the world (including me), i seriously hope that they might extend the episode to 20 in DVD, perhaps...like recently Temari ISland (i am sorry i'm confused with name) got extended episodes in Dvd.
AND thanks for sharing...LOVE YAB...

JB, thanks for the spoiler-free news! I've been avoiding the YB thread at soompi for the past 2 weeks so that I don't chance upon spoilers for episodes 13-16 and I'm glad that I've been successful :D
I noticed the skirt in the picture too, but I don't consider it a spoiler.
I'm actually looking forward to the end of YB because I believe it's good to end things on a high note, rather than dragging out the slightly-insubstantial plot for a few more episodes or even having a season 2 *this is just my humble opinion, don't throw stones at me!*

So happy about the turnout for the concert for YB. Excited to watch the episodes this week. At the same time sad..because it is the END. I hope they end with a good rating!
PLus, I want to wish for a Directors CUt of the DVD if ever. That way, we get to see extras that may have ended up in the editing room. And hopefully there will good subs for it. And wish that the extras will have subs too.
Next week will be really hard. YB withdrawals coming!

i can't read properly... i'm tearing up... that last pic is perfect. wish i was part of that audience too.
wish i had something to brag about next year, when you're beautiful starts to dominate asia and the world. to say that i was one of the first 300 people who viewed each episodes on youtube in the middle of the night mere 3 hours after it was aired in korea.
i'm already starting to save money for the dvd. i hope it's subbed...
i don't know what i'm gonna do next week. no more episodes to look forward to. so sad... reserve me a seat in the magic bus, please. one hour may not be enough but it will help lessen the sadness...

First of all, group hug!! I am thankful for the big YB family here that I know will help me through the withdrawal period. Reading this post has made me sad and I'm going to really miss it. I think we'll need to organize a magic bus ride every so often for therapy sessions after the show is over.
TQ JB for the pictures and story about the concert. I've been avoiding all the Korean entertainment sites and the Youtube video of the concert for fear of spoilers. But knowing you posted this meant it was okay. And thank you for those who mentioned there are no spoilers on the youtube concert videos. I'll be heading over to raine's videos after this.
ahh...my heart feels heavy. TK, MN, SW and Jeremy, I'm going to miss y'all much. Will definitely have to buy the DVD.

Below is what I saw comments in You Tube (You're Beautiful Must-see Making clip 2), there someone asked same question like u, so another person answered back like this.
"apparently after he said its not PSH.... he said "its pig-rabbit" ... meaning MN :) "
So JGS has girlfriend who is MN (though this is character, she is still PSH)...LOL
Maybe JGS told that for fan service, anyway I'm so glad because I want JGS and PSH to date for real. :)

Hongki isnt even going to have a rest after this drama. He is going to be bombarded with F.T Island activities. Poor Hongstar.
And....can Etude House please get JGS back instead of Lee Minho so that JGS and PSH can advertise for Etude House again? I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THSOE TWO!!! ETUDE HOUSE!!! HEAR MY PRAYER!!! :P

Just watched the concert videos on Youtube. I had to smile remembering what a wonderful journey this has been thanks to the cast and crew of YB especially the Hong sisters for bringing us this wonderful drama.
A word of caution, try to stay away from the fanvideo that has JGS talking only. My Korean is not that good but I think he was actually reading the script to the audience. And I didn't watch the videos that didn't say fanvideo because I believe they were some of the SBS cuts, which I was afraid may contain spoilers.

If this is going to be goodbye, its gonna be a really sad and nostalgic one...i guess we can't hold on to a drama no matter how much we love it and no matter how much we've come to treasure its characters...this is even worse than my hong gil dong hang over....

i really hope for season 2... i understand that most of 2nd seasons never live up to the viewers' expectations but i think 16 episodes aren't enough to satisfy my relish for this drama...i know that some people know exactly how i feel...
knowing that if it had better ratings it could've had more episodes really frustrates me.....
JB, you've been a wonderful companion... thank you so much! Maraming salamat!
i discovered this site because of YAB but i will never stop reading your posts even when the drama ends... Godbless :)

OH MY LORD!!! watching their last mini concert makes my heart ache. . . i mean I've been a kdrama addict since I was in first year high school (now I'm in the last year of my COLLEGE life). . . . thinking about it, I've been a KDrama follower now for almost 8 years. . . . Obviously , YAB is my latest obsession now, and it saddens me that this show has reached its end. . . Usually I really don't get affected that much with the other show's ending. . . I mean just like last January, during BOF days, I would say that i went crazy for months because of that show, but when it ended, i didn't felt bad at all. . .and I was able to let go and settle my thoughts & feelings ahead of time before it ended. . . . . In YAB, it's different!! To tell you, my state now is doomed, perplexed and tremendously agonized!! I just can't let go. . .My heart and soul is totally not settled with it!! They've been the hardest habit to break!!!. . . Having alcohol withdrawal is never easy!! HOW MUCH MORE IS THIS!!! I bet I'll need to buy loads of chocolate and eat it once for my worsening depression. . . I NEED MORE SEROTONIN!!! T_T this is just too much!!! I can't even think and concentrate with my lessons in school now!!! My school life is really affected. . . and having the thought that there's nothing I can do with the show's near ending is not helping me!!!! Call me SELFISH, CRAZY or anything!! I don't care!!, I just want them sooooooo bad!!!!!! T_T ( everlasting cry)

SEASON 2 SEASON 2 SEASON 2!
i know people don't want a season 2 because they think sequels don't live up to the reputation, but what if, just what if, season 2 is even better than season 1??? hahaha, i'm willing to take that risk.
If it ends up bad, we'd at least have 16 episodes of looking at good-looking people. And we can just rewatch season 1 to relive the pleasure :)

Sigh. As much as I want a season 2, because I don't want this series to end (and clearly neither does the cast!), I would hate to watch everything and everyone get torn apart, just so we could have enough drama for a second season. A movie, on the other hand, would be just perfect. (Too bad nobody's talking about that!)
I did notice the skirt, which I really don't consider a spoiler, because Park Shin-hye could have either have changed for the final curtain call so that the fans could see Mi-nyeo one last time. But I'm not sure if it's a spoiler or the product of my own wishful thinking that Jang Geun-seok & Park Shin-hye seem to be wearing matching outfits!

It is so painful to wait for the new episode every week and to watch each episode raw and then in Chinese/English again. I have never done this in the past. I think I will rewatch the whole series again. I will enjoy the drama even more...and once again. ....

The casting was absolutely marvelous....I believe there will always be a Go Mi Nam and Tae Kung in our hearts because they made the drama come alive!
I will miss it all....but will look forward to seeing more out of the young actors in other dramas.

Thinking that this drama would end, it makes me feel really sad. I was hoping they would extend You're Beautiful to 20+ episodes.
You're Beautiful has a very different mood to it. The story makes one feel light and good. I hope they would make a season 2 but as how the actors talked about it, I don't think they will. Oh well...

If a second season is not possible, then can we at least hope that JGS, PSH, LHK, and JYH will work on new projects soon? I will surely miss these guys. They have all done a wonderful job in You're Beautiful.

I am also sad that the drama is ending this week. A season 2 will be perfect, however, oversea concerts won't be a bad idea. At least for "pans" like us be able to attend their concerts and see them in person. I wish I was at the concert. At this point, I am waiting for DVD to come out and looking forward a good news from SBS. In advance, Happy Thanksgiving one!

Thank you JB for this nice spoilerfree YB fix! (Personally, I love spoilers, but I understand why many people prefer to stay away from them, and I appreciate that you are offering a safe haven to keep talking about YB now that Soompi is spoilerville ;-))
It made me happy to see how many fans gathered to attend the concert and cheer the cast showing them their love and support. I've read that the production team was not even expecting such a crowd, and as they were not prepared there were a few problems and delays. Appearently some fans complained about this, to the point that JGS posted a message on the SBS board to thank the fans and apologize for the problems during the concert. I think that was very nice of him. I really did not know JGS before I started watching YB, but the more I hear and read about him, the more I appreciate and admire this young amazing actor.
And now I'll add my own "Don't want it to end!!!!!!!!" to all yours ;-) As much as I am dying to see the last two episodes, it makes me incredibly sad that this is the end. I don't usually cry over sad scenes in dramas and movies, but I am sure I'll need a box of tissues on Thursday evening just because I'll have to say goodbye to YB and all the characters. It's been an awsome journey: watching the raw episodes on Wed/Thu, rewatching them when the subs came out, anticipating the following episodes, reading JB's recaps, discussing, commenting, sharing the YB addiction with all of you... For all the unexpected, wonderful emotions YB has been giving me, I have no doubt that this drama will always have a special place in my heart. I'll miss it. I'll miss TK, MN, SW, Jeremy and the other charachers (yeah, even HY... probably not MHR though;-)) as if they were real people.
Yet, even though I know that now I am in for some post-YB-depression-and-withdrawal, I am so grateful I've got to watch this little gem! :-)
(thank you so much JB for convincing me to give this drama a try!!!!! :-))

@ 126, PringlesVue
the translation is posted in one of the earlier comments section to one of the YB episode recaps....
i am just re-re-posting (thanks to whoever who posted it first):
English lyrics for “Goodbye” -
Credit to sunandmoon from Soompi:
“What should I do? All I can do is gaze at you
I can’t even extend you a short greeting
My achingly cold hand, don’t hold it
Now I have to let you go
What should I do? You grow further away
My chest fills with tears
Even though I try hard to hide it, I can’t stop
What should I do with this love I can’t end
Please don’t forget that we loved each other
Even if you meet someone else who makes you laugh
The farewell is painful, but I’m glad that it was you that I loved
Gathering my sorrowful tears, goodbye
I’ve done nothing for you
Pitifully I’ve only left you with scars
You who embraced even my changed feelings
Now I have to let you go. What should I do?
Please don’t forget that we loved each other
Even if you meet someone else who makes you laugh
The farewell is painful, but I’m glad that it was you that I loved
Even though the pain stops my breath and my tears fall
Please don’t forget that we were happy
Even if you meet someone else who makes you laugh
The farewell is painful, but I’m glad that it was you that I loved
Now I have to let go of this love that was unable to connect
The only person who will make me smile is you
Even though as my love deepens I feel more pain
Please don’t forget that we were happy
Even if you meet someone else who makes you laugh
The farewell is painful, but I’m glad that it was you that I loved
Gathering my sorrowful tears, the only thing I can do is say…
Goodbye”

I have all these thoughts formulated in my head about how to the story will proceed and wrap up and end. I'll see if I'm right. =)

Agree with bluelights and karened. BOF was a huge hit at first, but look at how many people say that it's crappy now! There were a lot of bad things about it, but the fact that they extended it so much probably didn't help. I'd rather YB stayed in my mind (and everyone else's) as a true gem of a drama. As some above said, I'd much rather get a DVD version with all the cut scenes and stuff. :)
That said, this is the first drama I've been really addicted to. Although the wait between episodes is pure torture, there's a lot of fun to be had in combing the net for recaps and BTS and of course, spazzing over it with the communities here at DB or in Omona or Soompi. Thank you guys for all the comments I had fun reading!! Part of the fun is the wait.
To curb YB withdrawal symptoms. Apart from everything D said, I've also been snapping up anything to do with the cast or the drama. XD For me, that includes magazines (if you live in Malaysia, try Epop or YG) cos right now all the editors are obsessed with the drama.
Well, it's not the end yet! I'm simultaneously dreading and anticipating the next two episodes. <3
