August/26/2026 17:00
This month on Satellite Theater, the live performances of JAEJOONG (Jaejoong) and SS501 will be broadcast. Three notable dramas are also starting! ◆ JAEJOONG’s live performance will be broadcast on TV for the first time! JAEJOONG, an artist active in both Japan and Korea, will have his 2026 tour broadcast on TV for the first time! We will bring you "2026 JAEJOONG ZEPP & HALL LIVE TOUR – 10% –," held on May 23 at Pacifico Yokohama in Kanagawa. From songs familiar from JAEJOONG live performances, such as "Glorious Day" and "Mine," to the digital single "OASIS," released in May, the lineup is full of numbers that tickle fans’ hearts. In the refreshing "Summer J," which begins with a whistle, JAEJOONG’s hype-up led to a huge chorus of "Na-na-na~," and the venue became one with the "J! J!" chant. What especially delighted fans was the cover of Sukima Switch’s "Kataomoi" ("Kataomoi"/"Kataomoi"? actually "Kataomoi" is not in text; the text says "Kataomoi"? No, it says "Sukima Switch’s 'Kata'"? Wait, the text says "奏"). The cover of Sukima Switch’s "Kanade." While saying, "It’s difficult to sing, so I don’t perform it much at live shows," he let them hear a soul-filled singing voice, and some fans were seen unable to hold back tears. The talk was entirely about the upcoming Zepp performance. As JAEJOONG spoke excitedly about his expectations for the "dream place," the venue also warmed up. Light banter with the band members and an improvised "JAEJOONG theater" also appeared, making it a time full of smiles. The intensity put into each song was dense, and it became a fulfilling live performance that tightly condensed JAEJOONG’s singing and charm. "Jeching Season 5 ~Jae friends Village~," in which JAEJOONG serves as host and has lively conversations with a variety of guests, is also being broadcast to great acclaim. Don’t miss that either! ◆ Many promising actors one after another! Three talked-about dramas start The dramas are starting with three works. "A Week Before I Die," starring Gong Myoung and Kim Min-ha, is a youth fantasy romance in which the heroine, told she has one week left to live, works together with her first love, who has become a grim reaper, to fulfill his "10 bucket list" items. It is a work in which, amid sadness, the excitement of first love and the dazzling days of youth are revived. "YOUR HONOR ~ The Unforgivable Judge ~" is a crime suspense based on an Israeli drama, depicting a father who steps into darkness in order to protect his beloved son. The love of fathers thinking of their sons, who became the perpetrator and victim of a traffic accident, is deeply moving. The intense acting showdown between fathers Son Hyun-joo and Kim Myung-min is a must-see. Also a highlight is that Heo Nam-jun, who drew attention in Japan with "Wonderful New World," appears as the victim’s older brother. "Salon de Holmes" is a refreshing comedy suspense in which a group of four skilled housewife detectives, each with diverse careers and special talents, take on various incidents that occur in an apartment building. Not only is the light mystery-solving enjoyable, but the exhilaration of the four unique women working together to brilliantly punish the villains is irresistible. ◆ Fresh Japanese talk too! SS501 live performances broadcast all at once And in September, SS501, a representative group of the second generation of K-pop, appears. Under the title "SS501 Special," rare live archives "SS501 SPECIAL EVENT TOUR Heart to Heart" and "SS501 2008 Japan Tour Grateful Days Thanks for..." will be aired. In "SS501 SPECIAL EVENT TOUR Heart to Heart," they perform their Japanese debut song "Kokoro" and "Be A Star," among others, and it is full of fresh and distinctive Japanese talk. The "how to wave a penlight" lesson is a must-see for K-pop fans!? In "SS501 2008 Japan Tour Grateful Days Thanks for...," they perform hit songs one after another, including "DEJA VU" and "Yowamushi ~ Timid Me." You can fully enjoy the sparkling charm of SS501, called the "original prince group." ■ Broadcast information [Korean dramas] "A Week Before I Die" starts Wednesday, September 9!
