The SM TOWN Live ’10 World Tour in L.A. performance is set to show in cinemas as a 3D movie.

The concert, held on September 9th at the L.A. Staples Center, was filmed by PACE which was founded by ‘Avatar’ director James Cameron and specializes in 3D movie production. Not only will the footage be used in promotions for sponsor Samsung Electronics’ 3D display products, it will also be created into a movie and shown in theaters.

A representative of SM stated, “The movie will probably be released in theaters between the end of this year and the beginning of next year. We believe it will be popular, not only in Korea, but also in China and Southeast Asia.”

Girls’ Generation and BoA have already filmed music videos with PACE, but this will be the first time that a Korean concert has been filmed in 3D. The PACE team and Samsung have already worked with hip-hop group Black Eyed Peas in their Manhattan, New York performance in March.

So what happened to CSJH The Grace?

Looking at some of the comments about T-ara’s lack of originality and the overall lack of solid talent in the Korean music industry, some people hold fond memories of this little group called CSJH the Grace. Most of you will probably not know who they are since SM Entertainment has failed to promote them.

CSJH The Grace in 2005 as an acappella version of Dong-bang-shin-ki. However, SM rightly ditched the acappella concept. With armed with their vocal ability and supposed natural beauty, (although a few “natural” adjustments would not be out of the question), they were left to languish in Korea.

In the past 3 years, they’ve been somewhat back and forth between Korea and Japan. So with a lack of a strong market target, they have yet to build up a crazy fan base. For now though, Rhythm Zone, their management in Japan, has amped up their promotional schedule. The girls have finished their first live tour in late March 2008.

There’s been some speculation about CSJH The Grace making a comeback in Korea sometime soon either this year or the following year. According to CSJH The Grace’s Staff Diary, they’ve been visiting Korea as of late. For what? Possibly just to rest, but fans are holding hope that they are being productive during their time in Korea and working on their comeback.

We could really use a comeback from these ladies, especially in the current landscape of groups that can’t stand to sing without a back-up track and rely on their image too much.
