The last music post was wonderfully witchy. My Halloween fun continues with KIM Jae-joong and his dark and dramatic music video for “Mine.”
It’s a track that demonstrates his vocal repertoire extends beyond K-pop and J-pop and into harder-hitting sounds.
Jaejoong is a compelling rock vocalist. “Mine” easily fits alongside the J-rock releases of Gackt and Hyde (of VAMPS and L’Arc~en~Ciel).
The music video’s imagery also adds to the song’s sense of menace mixed with desperation – from its sets, special effects, and wild animals to the vampire/fallen angel/devil portrayed by Jaejoong, himself.

- “Mine” is available digitally on the mini-album I (also known as Mine) and its repackage, Y.
- You can watch more relatively recent music videos featuring Jaejoong – as a solo artist and as a member of JYJ – on the CJES/JYJ YouTube channel. (He’s also a former member of TVXQ, so he can also be seen and heard in that group’s pre-2010 releases.)
