The Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) announced that TVXQ′s (DBSK) July 11-released single, Android and its Japan concert tour DVD, Tonehad both been certified ‘Gold’, meaning they had both been recognized as selling over a million copies.
In addition to DBSK, Kim Hyun Joong’s July 4-released single album, Heat, was also certified gold.
Android placed first for the week on the Oricon when it was released, marking a record 11th time that DSBK placed first on the Oricon singles weekly chart.
Kim Hyun Joong is currently filming his new drama, City Conquest.
After a series of action stills, City Conquest has released stills of Kim Hyun Joong in what seems to be more of his element - near a pretty girl.
The new preview still, which was released on August 3, shows Baek Mir (Kim Hyun Joong) giving Lee Dan Bi (Jung Yu Mi) a romantic back hug. Standing in the midst of a throng of people in Japan, Lee Dan Bi clearly returns the affection, indicating the two will be a lovey-dovey couple in the drama - at least in the beginning.
City Conquest kicked off filming in early July and recently wrapped up its Japan shoot. The production is now filming in Korea.
