[Dispatch=Kim Ji-ho] Kim Junsu is gifting fans something truly special—a hard-cover photobook filled with his most personal moments.
Last fall, Junsu collaborated with photographer Kim Shin-ae for the Dispatch Photobook Special Edition: The Xia. From early morning to late evening, the photobook captures the many faces of Junsu, showcasing his versatility and charm.
The day begins with Junsu enjoying a quiet morning with his dog Chu, lounging on the bed, reading books, and listening to music. His radiant, sunlit smile is a pure dose of healing energy.
He plays like a child in the garden, kicking a ball around and singing while strumming his guitar. Later, he pens letters to his fans and exudes sleek charisma in the darkness of the night.
200 Pages of Pure Junsu
Every moment has been beautifully captured in The Xia, a 200-page treasure trove of Junsu's multi-faceted charm. The photobook comes in five different hard-cover editions, each featuring a unique main cover photo, boosting its collector's value.
Fans can also dive into Junsu's 20-year journey through an in-depth history section and heartfelt interviews. Behind-the-scenes stories and candid conversations with his staff offer an exclusive peek into his world.
In his interview, Junsu shares his deep feelings for his fans, lovingly referred to as Coconut. When asked to define what Coconut means to him, Junsu reflected for a long time before saying, "The time we've spent together is so long, it's hard to sum it up in one sentence. But if I had to, I'd say you're the reason I can still sing today."

The photobook also includes various perks: three types of photocards and a fabric pouch for all versions. Each edition offers different photocard visuals and special bonuses.
