[news]HJL talks about Christmas & MK promotion

Credits: SS501 Forever Fans

Kim Hyunjoong who had officially challenged the acting field will be holding an exciting Christmas after ending filming for his first role-leading drama [Playful Kiss]. Different from others, he has plans to spend a slightly special year end this year, as was told in interview.

“I think I’ll be spending my Christmas this year with males again”, as he said it in as if it was nothing the case. Kim Hyunjoong who wears his personality on such good looks of his lets people find it unbelievable that he will spend Christmas with males.

“Last last year was with Jaejoong hyung, last year was with Youngsaeng. For this year’s Christmas, because I don’t have any special particular schedule, I feel relieved. But on 26th, I’ll be leaving for Taiwan for [Playful Kiss] promotion, so on 25th I guess I’ll need to pack up my luggage right?”, “I’m puzzling over what to do on 25th. My other friends have girlfriends so if we meet up, it’ll look like I’m off with nothing…”, as he expresses his sadness.

“I don’t have any girl whom I fancy now, and I don’t have chances nor time to have any. Until now in my life, I don’t think I’ve spent Christmas with any girl before. This year will be my 3rd consecutive year to spend with males”, as he seemingly expressed his giving in to fate.

Kim Hyunjoong also showed his desire to walk on the streets of Myungdong on Christmas. Is it interesting to observe people on the streets? It may be an ordinary matter for us, but to Kim Hyunjoong, this isn’t acceptable. It seems like it’ll still probably be difficult to see Kim Hyunjoong treading on the streets of Myungdong since he will be seen by so many people.

Last 12th (November), Kim Hyunjoong stood on the stage reaching out to people worldwide as he took his spot as a Korean rep to a greater height. He was a representative as a Korean singer who stood on the stage of the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Game opening ceremony as he sung to the theme song “Sunshine Again”.

So how was the feeling of that, as we asked, “I felt great as I could stand on such a huge stage to sing like that. When I first received the proposal I was like, is this a joke or what. ‘Why would China send invitations to me?’. I couldn’t believe and was shocked”, as he still pours his surprise over it.



At that time in the broadcast, announcers introduced him as ‘the representative singer from Korea stood right before the eyes of people worldwide’, as they praised him like that. To this Kim Hyunjoong said he felt so shy about it because “they announced and expressed it in such a loud manner, I was so shameful (good)”, “I just came to stand on that venue in the split of a moment, at that time, thoughts like holding a concert there and filling it with this amount of audiences came onto mind”, with this it’s evident how he holds passion as a singer.

Kim Hyunjoong is also expected to release his dance album in next May. If he is to release a solo album, definitely there will be so much more talks from people talking about SS501′s disbandment. To this however, Kim Hyunjoong reaffirms that SS501 is not disbanded. "Previously if a group is to be disbanded, they will hold press conference telling everybody that ‘we will be disbanded’, but these days, because it’s a natural splitting apart, it seems like that is the way how people tend to misunderstand and have those thoughts. But SS501 will still be appearing out public; we are not disbanded”, as he gives relief to the worries of fans.

With the remaining 2 months left of 2010, Kim Hyunjoong will be spending his new year in various asian countries. Beginning off with Taiwan, he will proceed on to Malaysia, Singapore, China, Japan, and other South East asian countries etc for promotions of his drama [Playful Kiss].

During those days when they were doing activities as SS501, they always had to give up their year end to sing on stages and perform as they await the countdown bells to a brand new year, and then returning to their homes on the morning of the 1st. However now, it won’t be like that already and it seems like he’s liking it as he pulled a smile.

Indeed, the ’4-dimensional’ charm to Kim Hyunjoong exists all the time. That’s why he even let in talks about the G20 Summit Conference held last 11th. He lets in about his thoughts felt back then, “I felt that it was quite peculiar for our country to hold the summit conference when we weren’t even able to ge into the G7. I was wondering if the consciousness of our citizens wasn’t strong enough for it to be. Vehicles were overseen and cars behind one another just kept honking and drivers were frustrated, I didn’t like it when I saw such a sight”, as he delivers his hoping-for.

On this upcoming 26th December, Kim Hyunjoong will be leaving for Taiwan for promotions of [Playful Kiss]. It seems like Kim Hyunjoong will be in overseas longer than in the country with the status as an actor with the remaining of less than 2 months of 2010.

Hyun Joong talks about Bae Young Joon #2

Credits: Liezle

Here's another set of extracted articles of Hyun Joong talking about Bae Yong Joon. With so many news that came out yesterday, I can't honestly track which has been translated and not translated.

Anyway, much thanks again to Suehan for doing this. In Bae community, we always love hearing someone talk about Yong Joong as we rarely hear/read something about the man himself. Amongst Yong Joon's friends I think Hyun Joong has revealed quite a lot about YJ in his last interviews. ^^

I won't say much about the YJ-HJ friendship as I believe all of you already know how I feel about this. But I just have to say this one, from reading all the interviews yesterday, I think that somehow YJ has already influenced HJ a bit. With that, I hope soon that HJ will influence YJ to be more relaxed and outgoing. ^^

“I’m not a Hallyu star yet. It is a great deal to say it that way. I’m just preparing for it. It’s true that Yong Joon hyeong helps me a lot. People think that we talk about special matters, but we just talk about our average daily lives. It seems that we talked until about 1:00 am yesterday."

Meeting between Bae Yong Joon and Kim Hyun Joong. There will be many excited fans when they hear about the meeting between them. But they have not made any public appearances yet. “It’s really strange. Because we do not go to special places but we go to the café where everybody goes. I thought the pictures would have been posted on the internet, but it never happened. It’s weird. Isn’t it?”

Kim Hyun Joong, who is the closest friend of Bae Yong Joon, said that Bae Yong Joon doesn’t have any plans for marriage yet. He said, “We frankly talk about lots of private matters. Whenever hyong has a chance, he pressures me to introduce him to a girl. But I feel helpless because even I don’t have a girl friend. He only bought the house, but I could feel his great popularity again from the marriage rumors.” He also said that “If Yong Joon hyeong marries; he will release the news to media in advance due to his position. I don’t think you will hear the news regarding his marriage soon, since he doesn’t have a girl friend.”

Kim Hyun Joong called Bae Yong Joon a good adviser and reliable senior. Right after the first episode of “Mischievous Kiss” aired, he received a text message from Bae Yong Joon saying, “Don’t stick to the viewing rates too much.”

“Hyeong advises me a lot. Regarding acting, he said, “Work comfortably to be a seasoned actor because burden produces only burden. He also said, “It is important to show the development process.” And it encouraged me a lot. His advice about the donation from the profits to the society also influenced me a lot. He advised me, “Don’t be shy or embarrassed when you help someone.”

The fans have complimented the picture by saying it looks like a professional photo shoot, leaving comments such as, “The man went to flaunt his superior genetics to the continent.”

Check out his pictures below.

[Article] KHJ "I Wish I Look Half Like Bae YongJun hyung"

I was just about to hit the sack when I saw this tweet of xiaochu and directed me to another interesting translation at Quainte501 of news article about Kim Hyun Joong. Yesterday was a KHJ news day, yah? Though there were also news about Hyung Jun and Jung Min that are fairly interesting.

With all the news that we got yesterday, I was reminded of what Hyun Joong said on his September 12, 2010 message he left on his official Korean website. He said that "... 2 months later I'll tell you the things I wanna say, from the horse's mouth kk."
Well, I guess this is already the 2 months that he was referring to in that message as he had revealed a lot in the interviews that we have been reading since yesterday.

With this I hope things have been cleared. Worry warts will stop worrying. And that we have learned something from what he said specially about enjoying life.

Everyone's Leader [as what he signed on his message during the fan meeting] has spoken. No more doubting. Let's just wait and put our trust in them. Hyun Joong, Young Saeng, Kyu Jong, Jung Min and Hyung Jun will not give empty promises to their fans.

REPOST WITH FULL CREDITS ONLY



"Very happy even though busy."

Put aside the name of SS501 Kim HyunJoong for awhile. Instead, be reborn again as rookie actor Kim HyunJoong. It is not easy. Leaving DSP Media where he was with for past 5 years to join KeyEast, he had gone through a hard time, getting out of the music stage filled with cheers, he had to adapt to the unfamiliar drama production environment. Therefore Kim HyunJoong cannot relax any moment for the past 5 months. After MBC 'Mischievous Kiss' ended on 21-Oct, he immediately had to film the youtube version, he won the best dresser award in Japan Sky Perfect Awards on 10-Nov. Completing the delayed CF filming, he sang the theme song for Guangzhou Asian Games Opening Ceremony on 12-Nov.

Kim HyunJoong said "It is good to be busy. Doing things I can do well, things I enjoy doing, I am satisfied to be living like this." He continued "Even on my rest days, I go to the practice room/studio and dance. I want to live enthusiastically like an ant." However he sulked, "Sometimes I wish that I have the ability of teleportation." "Then I will be able to go overseas in a blink of an eye, or go anywhere easily." He said with a laugh.


I wish I look half like Bae YongJun

There is a huge influence by Bae YongJun hyung on moving agency. People were calling me "Post Bae YongJun". I also think positively of it. Must become like that, then I can be someone who can go beyond hyung. I wish I could go half as far as Bae YongJun hyung. Now I am about 1/8? But I guess I resemble Bae YongJun hyung. Not long ago when I went to China, I was being asked if I am Bae YongJun and was requested for autograph. I said I am not but he insisted that I am and told me not to lie. I took off my sunglasses but can't show him so it was frustrating. It is weird if I say, "I am not Bae YongJun, I am Kim HyunJoong" isn't it? In the end, I didn't sign for him so seems like I made Bae YongJun hyung lose 1 fan and I felt uncomfortable about that. I haven't told Bae YongJun hyung about this yet. (laughs)

SS501 Album Will Not Be Released Next Year?

Kim HyunJoong solo album will be released around May next year. In the beginning of next year, he will go to USA and practice choreography/dance, and also to prepare for his album. He has received a few songs but the concept is still a secret. SS501 album will also be released. Members are preparing for their own solo album and we should have a discussion when we have a chance. It was a little difficult when we changed company this year. Even though each of us moved to different agencies and the agreements have already been concluded, it was a problem deciding who should make the announcement first. Because we have to resume responsibility for being scattered around (different agencies). Finally it was me who shouldered (the responsibility). Even though I was mentally prepared for it, it was still difficult. Fans would have been quite hurt, isn't it? However, I think that if I work hard, there will be still fans supporting Kim HyunJoong.


Not Prince, But Wants To Be Rebellious Kid

In 'Boys Over Flowers', I acted as senior high school student and I chose 'Mischievous Kiss' thinking that it would be my last acting as senior high school student. It has nothing to do with viewership ratings. Frankly speaking, I am very satisfied. Above all, it is because people told me that my acting has improved. I gradually developed some know-how in expressions and even gestures. How good can I memorize my lines? Really, if I were to study like this, I would have gone to Seoul University. (laughs) During the period while filming the drama, I can only get about 2-4 hours of sleep in 4 days. I lost too much weight so I ate 4 bowls of rice in a day. Even so, I will still continue to act in the future. It is fun. Even though till now I have only acted in roles who are glamorous, I want to break off this image next time. A down to earth and friendly character will be good. Someone who is like the real Kim HyunJoong...Rebellious guy?

[Article] Hyun Joong Thoughts About the Motorcyle Accident

You've heard about the accident of Hyun Joong in May but only few knows before that it was a motorcycle accident and not a car accident as what had been reported on the news. The reason why they kept it as a secret is for fans not to worry much. Now that it's been months since the accident Hyun Joong can talk about it. And that's what he did when MetroSeoul interviewed him recently.

I'm sure many are waiting for this article since it came out early this morning. Much much thanks to wonderrrgirl for letting me know about the post of June on LoveHyunJoong forum. I actually emailed to wonderrrgirl the link to this, as she's about to trans someone did and she gave me a heads up. Glad to know that someone from LKHJ did it and I hope that June wouldn't mind posting her translation here. Thanks June so much for sharing this on LKHJ. From the note of June on LKHJ, she didn't translate anymore the part on BYJ as they've already been posted.

Disclosure of Accident: Asia Top Star KHJ Innermost ThoughtSource: Metro Seoul
Reposted & Translated by: Baidu Hyunbar News Department
Chinese to English translation by June / LoveKimHyunJoong.com

Singer and Actor Kim Hyun Joong (24) had a motorcycle accident and cheated death,
before the commencement of his solo work apart from SS501.
The cruelty of such a happenstance right when he had to begin working solo on his own
led to a focused outlook in life.

Heartily enjoys the work he likes, while forgoing all distractions.
Harbouring an increasingly calm mentality, and gradually permeating through the whole of Asia.

Rebirth In May
In a recent interview, Kim Hyun Joong mentioned,
for the first time ever, the facts about his motorcycle accident.

On 28 May afternoon, on a road in Seoul’s Gangnam,
Kim Hyun Joong, driving with his friend on a motorcycle as a passenger,
was hit from behind by another vehicle.

Helmets and protective gears fell apart. It was a major accident.
His right arm and elbow suffered from 3 fractures.
His left knee cartilage was injured as well.

‘It could have been a fatal accident, but luck was on our side.
The motorcycle is not a good vehicle to carry passenger but I was travelling with a friend that day.
My over-100kg friend flew from the vehicle and I fell atop him.
Thus, I landed on the ground with less impact due to the buffer.’

After the release of the final mini-album at his former company,
the period before the end of his contract was a critical moment
when he worried about the repercussions of the accident.

He was also concerned that there may be discussions about his enlistment.
He can only bear his guilt during treatment till his discharge from the hospital.
With the end of the filming of the drama, he is currently undergoing a full body check-up.
‘I will definitely enlist. But I shall not receive any further more body check-up till then.
I would not want anything, no matter how small, to become a hindrance to my goal.’

Due to the accident, his will to carry out activities is even stronger.
Kim Hyun Joong said,
‘I do not like to rest.
Happily working, I’ve never had a moment when I feel like resting.
I would like to give it all… when I can still sing, dance and act.’

In the aftermath of his accident,
the process in which he signed with his new company also became a hot topic.
Even though several companies offered him billion-dollar contracts,
Kim Hyun Joong chose to sign with his current company which offered a much lower fee.

His pride as an artist led him to refuse the high pay but accept a domestic car,
which in turn led to further misunderstanding from some fans.
The gift of a car in replacement for higher pay was suggested by representatives from his new company.

‘I do not work with the aim to earn money.
If I do, I shall have to bear all the negative effects.
What I want to do is to display my stage and my work to all of you.’

Pre-Enlistment: 5-year Plan
On 12 November, he participated in the Asian Games Opening Ceremony
with a stage performance of the theme song ‘Sunshine Again’,
gaining the chance to show himself to 1 billion viewers.

‘It is the biggest stage in my life.
Besides the billion who viewed on TV,
there were one hundred thousand spectators on the spot
which created such a grand stage that I felt overjoyed and lost for words,
with the thought that my name would appear on such a stage.'

His drama ‘Playful Kiss’ was highly popular overseas,
but the low domestic rating was still a bitter pill to swallow.

‘Now I am more confident.
The next drama will bring about even more difficulties,
thus the main issue here is to become an actor with the right attitude and mentality.’

Now, he is preparing for his solo album to be released in May next year,
and planning to attend a 3-month music studies in the United State early next year.

‘I would like to learn more about stage performance, dancing and singing, while building up my physique.
I have already submitted a learning plan to a famous teacher from LA Millennium Dance School,
and shall present a music that is different from SS501.’

24 hours a day, he wonders about his future plans.
He said, ‘My future 5-year plan is already in place.
Each year, I shall participate in a drama and a movie, release 2 albums, hold a concert tour, and release a Japanese album.’

‘On the eve of my enlistment 5 years later,
I prepare to hold, for all my fans, a large-scale free performance.’
