JJ Lin's "Westside" Exceeds 400,000 Sold

Thursday July 12, 2007 Taiwan

Taiwan is JJ's second haven, plans to settle down

July 7 was JJ Lin's first autograph session for his new album, "Westside". Nicknamed as "the sun" by his colleagues, JJ showed his great power. It was rain and thunder at Taipei a few days ago, but it turned sunny for JJ's day. The fans were unable to restrain from screaming when JJ, overloaded with charisma, arrived in a Ferrari.

JJ said, "Other than searching for houses lately, I also had thoughts of getting a new car. I really love cars and had thoughts of buying a race car. Having this opportunity to drive this car today slightly satisfies my wish." Since JJ has been searching for houses and cars in Taiwan, will JJ consider a Taiwanese girlfriend? JJ said, "Taiwan is a really good place, whether it be living conditions or people. I had given myself a goal which is to settle down and find myself a partner when I'm 30 years old. Right now I am 26 years old. There is still a couple more years so I have to work hard!"

JJ's "Westside" exceeds 400,000 copies sold in Asia

Due to the fans' passionate support, JJ's "Westside" sold more than 400,000 copes in Asia. His company especially ordered an ice sculpture to match his "killer" identity. The number 400,000 is blood-red colored and the sculpture is supported by legs and arms. They hope JJ will use his "killer" aura to achieve the champion of album sales.

The host immediately reminded JJ that other than his fans, he shouldn't forget his colleagues from his company. JJ said, "Of course! I not only have to thank the fans for this wonderful result of this album, but also have to thank all of my colleagues's hard work. I promised earlier that if the sales is good, I will bring all the staff to vacation." The company unexpectedly prepared a world dartboard for JJ to shoot darts at.

When the host saw the board, he laughed, "OBM is really selfish. They put the easiest ones on Sicily, Italy and Alcatraz Island, Qingdao, and Taiwan's Green Island." Within JJ's four shots, he shot Green Island twice. JJ said, "This is actually for the fans. I wish for them to be able to get together and not have to travel too far. As with Italy and America, we can also go there. It would be great if I can go to those places for a tour!" If the album sales doubled to 800,000, how will JJ celebrate this achievement? JJ said, "I want to travel with the fans. We can go to the beach and barbeque during the summer. I hope there is a chance to gather with all of Asia's fans."

During the autograph session, JJ indeed has a "killer" aura. There were are disabled fans that arrived early and JJ especially signed their CDs first. Other fans carried 6 CDs for him to sign, leaving JJ feeling touched.
