i dont wanna tell you what to do or what not to do...but you really shouldnt download Brian's album cos Brian really needs all the cd sales he can get to prove himself as a solo artist...the album isn't that expensive anyway...it's around $11.95 (it costs more than that to buy a decent lunch these days so why not skip lunch for one day to buy Brian's album and show him some love???). you can preorder the album now at annyoung.com by going to this link:
http://www.annyoung.com/cdstore/merchant.m...y_Code=MovieostHere's the link to purchase it at eclickkorea (comes with free poster):
http://www.eclickkorea.com/shop3/skin/shop...ew&uid=7360for the person asking if eclickkorea and annyoung is reliable, yes it is, i've known people who've ordered from there and they swear by it. However, if you're a US citizen it's better for you to buy it from annyoung...if you live outside the US it's better to get it from eclick.
if you go to Fly High, the board where Brian posts messages to his fans you can tell that he's really worried about his album sales and he asks the fans to buy the album instead of downloading it. Think about it, it's his first time going solo...if his album doesnt do well then people are gonna criticise Brian and think that he's no good on his own (which is FAR from the truth! this man has so much talent it's unbelievable) and he wont have the confidence to continue with his solo activities!
Here's the link to view Brian's posts at Fly High Board (his nickname is "MastaJOO"):
http://board5.cgiworld.dreamwiz.com/list.cgi?id=MasterBIBand for those who dont have a credit card to purchase Brian's album or have problems purchasing it online, Maria, the owner/admin of Heavenly Sent, a Fly To The Sky fansite, is running a project where she will buy the cd for you and ship it to your home and trust me it's 100% reliable. Here's the link to ask Maria to buy the album for you (but you have to be a member of Heavenly Sent):
http://www.heavenly-sent.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=1574Fly High, the board Brian posts at is also doing a similar project and you can view it through this link (you don't need to be a member for this):
http://board5.cgiworld.dreamwiz.com/view.c...mp;tmp_no=15927Brian's album will be out on December 18th so PLEASE PURCHASE IT!!!
Here are some of the recent messages Brian left for fans at Fly High:

Hey everyone...
Well, just wanted to let you all know that my solo album is at it's last stages to being finished. Hopefully by the end of next wee, you can go out and purchase it... Please do so... Overall album sales have drop by almost 75% because everyone's DLing songs off the internet, especially KOREAN MUSIC... Please help all the artists that you enjoy listening to by buying the albums... Trust me, it takes a lot more money to prepare and album then to buy a copy for yourselves...
Anyhow, just wanted to update you all for those who were curious. Thanks for your support, I'm sooo nervous....
God Bless ya'll
Brian G. Joo

Hey you guys!!
As you all know, I did my first solo debut performance today on M.Net's M.Countdown. And, As for any artist who's been in a group for a long time and comes out with a solo album, I was pretty darn nervous up on stage by myself. I do have to admit, I did get a few lyrics wrong, but for my first time on stage ALONE please be easy on me... Phew, it ain't easy going solo so I give props to Tae Woo, Son Ho Young, Park Jung Ah, Jun Jin, and Minwoo... I'll do my best in future performances. Please, if you can, help support my album... and for you non-Korean speakers, there is an all English track on this album so hope you enjoy... thank you and God bless!!
In Him,
Brian G. Joo

Hey ya'll,
I just finished my second SOLO performance today on MBC. I'm not sure how you guys thought of the performance, but I was still kinda nervous... Not as nervous as the 1st show but, just a little because I thought that I might mess up again...HEHEHE...
I would just like to say thank you all for the cool comments that you guys wrote in this forum about the first performance... and I would like to ask you all to continue to support the new song and if you guys are able to, watch as many shows as you can...hehehe....
Also, my album will be out on the 18th so if you are able to get a copy in Korea or if you live elsewhere, there are a lot of sites now a days that sell Kpop CD's... Don't wanna sound intruding, but please, if you do purchase a CD, purchase them from sites that count as sales in Korea... if not, it hurts us in a big way... I'm speaking on behalf of all the singers in Korea...
Anyways, I'll work hard for you all and I hope you all continue to enjoy my music... God Bless you and hope you all stay healthy and safe during this cold winter...
In Him,
Brian G. Joo

Hey Ya'll,
Just wanted to stop by and say Merry Christmas~! I've been very busy with shows, interviews, and performances so I hope you all get a chance to watch whatever you can of me... Keep on bringing the support and I'll keep trying harder and harder...
God Bless,
Brian G. Joo
for more of his messages, visit Fly High and type in "MastaJOO" in the search space at the bottom of the page.
You guys should really head on over to the soompi Brian thread and support Brian by posting on the thread your comments, encouragement, etc to bump up the number of pages of the thread! cos as superficial as it sounds...the number of pages a thread has is an indication of the artist's popularity!
also i read somewhere that people were having problems joining soompi...i think maybe you guys are doing things wrong cos im not korean (im australian) and i had no troubles registering for soompi, it's sooo easy! if you guys need help, just ask me.
Brian G Joo thread at soompi:
http://www.soompi.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=100431For those who havent seen the recent YSMM with Brian on it, i've posted a "report" on what happened over at the Soompi thread. I'll copy and paste it here for those who want spoilers, though seeing the real things is heaps better (eventhough i had to skip non-brian parts). here goes:
QUOTE
anyways...JUST finished watching YSMM with Brian and Hyun Joong (very disappointed it was only a one part episode)...i skipped all the non Brian bits so my recount might be abit off but here goes...
1) it was HILARIOUS when there was this silence and then you hear this massive snort that sounded like a truck honking and everyone turns around to see that it was coming from Brian.
2) Brian and Hyun Joong are such cute buddies, it was so adorable when Hyun Joong was lost and didnt understand what they were talking about and Brian was trying to fill HJ in on what's going on, then HJ said something which i assume is funny cos Brian laughed so hard he slipped off his chair (if i wasnt mistaken).
3) omg....Brian's effect over women is undeniable...there's this part where one of the MCs who was sitting next to Bae Doo Na (i think that's her name, or at least that's what it sounded like they were calling her) said that she told him she though Brian was cute/attractive or something along those lines and Brian was like "is that true?" and so beign the flirt he is he said he would get blown for her.
4) there was also this part where Brian was describing to Bae Doo Na how powerful the wind is (because she was about to be blown) and his expresion was just so funny.
5) my FAV bit was whenever Brian got blown...omgosh...i nearly fell off my chair laguhing...the first time he got blown they told him to do an "uljang" pose and he did this really cool side pose thingy and then the wind came and just blew his hair to massive heights and he ended up looking like Dragon Ball...and the funniest thing is he actually did this sexy expression when the wind was blowing his hair but when he realised how ridiculous he looked (Hyun Joong was trying to cover his hair up for him to save him embarassment! lol) he quickly covered his head with the palm cards.
6) i think Brian also spoke about his complex but im not too sure.
well that's what ive managed to gather from quickly looking through the episode...hopefully there will be subs to this soon so i can watch the whole episode without skipping most of it.
