Hmm, let's see... I'm not surprised that the 1st batch that were printed got sold out. What I want to know is how many right now are pre-ordered in Japan. Likewise, how many are getting orders from other countries.
Sometimes, I really think Yong Joon's style of not having too much of media exposure does help a lot [but fans want to see him more... but really that's not just his style]. You see whenever there's something about him going public, fans [including antis] and media tend to get excited and is always being a topic of talk. His being on the cover of Cosmopolitan May issh was even on several news including Japan which even my Japanese friend was surprise because he's not even a local artist to be included in the news.
edit : after i finished publishing this entry my friend in Japan just sent an email and said that Yong Joon was all over the Japanese TV. ^^

BYJ effect! Magazines with environment pictorials are sold out
[Nocut News]4/21/09 08:34
As cover model for Asian edition of fashion magazine, Cosmopolitan'Yon-sama' BYJ was proud of majestic air worthy of the Hallyu star.
According to people in the business on 21, first printings of fashion magazine Cosmopolitan, where BYJ is the cover model, were all sold out. It is extremely rare happening for first printings of a magazine to be sold out without any particular supplements, so that even in publication business cannot help being surprised.
The Cosmopolitan carried BYJ's face in covers of April (typo on the article, it should be May) issue not only of Korean edition but also of those sold in entire Asian region. This magazine, being a licensed fashion magazine, has been using overseas stars as cover models all the time. It is an exceptional event for domestic star to set out as its cover model.
BYJ also shot environmental pictorials that stretch no less than 22 pages along with 14 actors from his agency, BOF. A staff at his agency hinted, "Frankly, it was not certain if Mr. BYJ was going to shoot the environmental pictorials along with other actors."
As BYJ responded to unscheduled interview for about one hour on the filming site also, giving impression of 'being professional after all'. In that interview, BYJ exposed his thoughts on environment without addition and subtraction.
By the way, BYJ and actors of BOF donated entire profits from these environmental pictorials to Korean Committee of UNEP (United Nations Environmenal Plan), an environmental organization under United Nations. The profit is planned to be used not only in supporting environmental LED lamps to domestic children's welfare facilities, but also in water purification work to improve water quality & supply drinking water in contaminated water areas in Asia.
