There was an unprovoked North Korean artillery attack yesterday afternoon in South Korea.

SS501‘s Park JungMin has decided to postpone his album’s release, as he feels it would be inappropriate to celebrate during this time.

The idol has gone through a serious meeting with his management after yesterday’s events. While he has been working these past months to celebrate his album’s release with fans, he feels postponing events would be for the best. “Concerning present political tension between the 2 Koreas, it is definitely not a good timing to celebrate an album release,” his management stated.

Meanwhile, JungMin’s management have began to give refunds for fanmeeting tickets and have announced they will keep fans posted on JungMin’s comeback date. CNR Media has asked for fans to be patient and pray for regional peace and stability.

Kim Hyun Joong (24) whose popularity spread to worldwide, just finished shooting for his first leading drama ‘Mischievous Kiss’ and was taking a break. We met in the interview. Even though his face still looks like Baek Seung Jo in ‘Mischievous Kiss’, his 4-D charisma is so clear by glancing at him making stars with the yellow rubber band.

Kim Hyun Joong’s first leading drama “Mischievous Kiss” Special Edition made the premiere through the global video website Youtube.

This is a fresh experience for me because it is the first time (to put the Korean drama on YouTube). The YouTube special edition was much better received than I expected, luckily. Comments from fans of the countries, like Tunis and Argentina that I barely get in touch with really surprised me. I can’t believe the fact that I have fans in those countries. Kim Hyun Joong said with shy smile.

YouTube special edition has set the new records of clicking and comments replies. Kim Hyun Joong replied these compliments humbly “Like some comments (mentioned), i still don’t feel the popularity I gain. Maybe I will get the sense of reality when I am able to see fans’ reaction in the promotion activity”

Kim Hyun Joong took the main role in his last drama “Boys Over Flowers”, but “Mischievous Kiss” is the first time he lead the drama completely. Is there any burdens by taking the leading role?

“I don’t feel the pressure, this is my characteristic. Because if you are under a lot of pressure, you may not do it well. I prefer playing the drama with relaxed mood. Comparing to the pressure, an easy mind is better for me, so I acted relaxingly”. You can’t see any clues of weakness or being immature as a junior actor while he talked about his feeling.

Under mass expectation, there are two types of reactions to his acting skill “Still immature” and “Improved from the period of BOF”. Compared to himself three months ago, Kim Hyun Joong said confidently that he’s very satisfied with the Bae Seung Jo role he portrayed.

“(I wish) my work will be unique and valuable. I don’t want to regret. Also, the role Bae Seung Jo is totally different from the person Kim Hyun Joong, so I worked very hard to show (Bae Seung Jo’s) characteristics that are completely different from Kim Hyun Joong. To become Bae Seung Jo, I studied this role. If you see the sign of Kim Hyun Joong from Bae Seung Jo, then the role is still Kim Hyun Joong, not Bae Seung Jo” “I heard a lot of comments like ‘improved a lot’. I wishes to hear ‘Well done!’ on the (current) basis of ‘You’ve Improved’”. As a Junior actor, Kim Hyun Joong showed his expectations.

Recently, many idols originally from idol groups challenged the field of musicals. DBSK’s U-know, JYJ’s Kim Joon Soo, SS501′s Kim Hyung Jun and Park Jung Min, presenting their images besides singers from different ways, but Kim Hyun Joong brought out his own point “Never think about anything else besides acting and singing. Not to say that I don’t want to, but I am still not confident enough to handle singing and acting at the same time. I only want to concentrate on acting and singing currently”.

Kim Hyun Joong’s enthusiasm about acting was seen during the hour-long interview. No matter what, Kim Hyun Joong had a strong will to improve his drawback in the acting skill.

It’s curious about the true look of an ordinary 24-year old youth rather than an entertainer star Kim Hyun Joong. It is well known that Kim Hyun Joong loves soccer among the pop artists. The pictures showing his happy face in the community soccer club are well known from the the ‘Soccer Fans’ (Is this a magazine? Sorry, I am not quite sure here). Together with private coach and dancers, they rented a sedan and made a trip to Yang Ju(扬州) (Sorry, I can’t find the Hangul name of the Chinese trans) for a (soccer) match. Kim Hyun Joong likes to play indoor soccer there.

“My position is center forward in the field. I watched all the scoor games in the Asian Game”, Kim Hyun Joong said his most favorite player was Park Ji-Sung. “He’s really the best soccer player of Asia. It is very exciting watching his game. He’s very hard-working. The nick name ‘oxygen tank’ fits him perfectly.” You can see his boyish look while chatting about soccer.

Kim Hyun Joong also talked about his daily life honestly “(I) like to eat chicken and drink Soju with friends in Seoul’s suburb like Nam Yang Ju. Play Soccer or Go-Stop game to kill the time while waiting for meal” “Having a day like this, my exhausted heart and body are recharged. Though not able to spend days like this a lot, (I’d) love to go whenever I have time”. Kim Hyun Joong said, bursting into a big smile.

Drama ‘Mischeivous Kiss’ leading by Kim Hyun Joong has been sold to many Asian countries before its TV broadcasting, which gained a lot of popularity in China, Japan, Taiwan and many other countries. Kim Hyun Joong is going to Taiwan for the ‘Mischievous Kiss’ promotion activity in the coming December 26th. There are only 2 months left in 2010, compared to the domestic market, actor Kim Hyun Joong will gained a more solid ground overseas where he stays for a long time.

[News + Video] Reason behind Musical ‘Café In’ Kim Hyung Jun’s tears is?

News: TV DailyTrans: 870803.net (Chi) + Only Jun (kimhyungjun.net) (eng)
On the eve of Kim Hyung Jun’s musical debut ‘Café  In’  first performance, a video clip of his comical scenes became a hot topic after it was released to public by the production team.
The commercial ad video that was released by the production team this time is made up of the practice scenes drawn into comic style of Kim Hyung Jun who has started to challenge musical acting, thereby arousing attention of everyone.
During the opening scene, he introduced himself by saying, “Hello. Starting from today onwards, I’m Kim Hyung Jun who has started work as a sommelier”, just like the witty sommelier in ‘Café In”, and again showing the scenes of his practice session in the commercial.
What is especially eye-catching in this UCC Spot is, Kim Hyung Jun who is in the midst of the musical practice has his face edited to become a comic character, saying “I’m a very popular Idol!”, with tears welling up in his eyes.
However there are also frustrating moments, but because of fans’ love and anticipation, he said “For my fans, I will work hard!” therefore becoming more strong-willed and allowed us to see his always smiley face.
Fans who have watched the video clip released by the production team said, “This is the first ever commercial ad (made for musical)!” “Musical acting has been acknowledged, although very tiring, filming it like an commericial ad, but for your fans, please work hard!” “In the commercial ad showed a prince-like pose~!” “In the commercial one person acting as two roles ^^”, showing different responses.
This musical is about the complicated romantic story between the impatient barrister Sae Jin and sommelier Ji Min, and one would be able to see Kim Hyung Jun, one person acting 2 roles as a sommelier and the gentleman, Jeong Min.
It will be opening its curtains on 24th at SamSeongdong Baekham Arts Hall.

[Article] Kim Hyun Joong's Interview from Daily Yomiuri

As mentioned in my previous post, the translation of article in Daily Yomiuri [which has over 10,000,000 copies in distribution as of October 2010] will be shared with us by Lafone and I am posting it now. Much much thanks.



This interview was done when Hyun Joong was in Japan for the Skyy Perfect Awards. In this interview he talked about Playful Kiss, his Japanese fans and how he can contribute to charity. Read on...

All about Kim Hyun Joong: One of the new generation stars representing Korea.

Source : Daily Yomiuri
November 24, 2010
Japanese to English translation by Lafone / liezle.blogspot.com

As a leader of Idol Group SS501, he frequently visited Japan in the past.
On the other hand, once he showed his other face as an actor in Korean remake version of "Boys over flowers" in TV, his noble “prince style” acting immediately established solid popularity in Japan. Recently, he was invited for Guangzhou Asian Games Opening Ceremony to sing (“Sunshine Again” ) which proved that his popularity has been expanding through Asia. On the occasion of his visit to Japan, we, Yomiuri, succeeded to see him for interview in spite of his tight schedule.

As he frequently visited Japan, he directly replied in Japanese to our questions if they were not too difficult without translator. His visit this time was to attend the Sky Perfect Award 2010.

Leader : As I got accustomed to Japan, I feel as if I were in Korea. I come to Japan mainly for concert activities, fan meetings, and so on for which I have much fun. I am very happy to be able to visit Japan again for the award.

Q : What do you think of Japanese fans ?

Leader : They are very passionate in supporting. I am very grateful. There is no difference between Korea and Japan in terms of fever. However, it is unique that Japanese fans paste our pictures on fans for cheering, while Korean fans use pen light, or balloons. I have never seen that Koreans waves such fans. Therefore, I was astonished at looking these fans with our pictures on them.

Q : Playful Kiss

Leader : Though Japanese comics are dramatized to Korean version, I still read an original Japanese comic many times. I feel bonded with Japan. From Korean’s viewpoint, the storyline seems to be a bit strange; that the heroin live in the house where the hero lives, even with their fathers’ relationship. For me, it’s comic !

The drama shooting started in summer, ending the cold weather season. I feel as if I experienced the four seasons. Though I was one of four guys (F4) in BOF, in Playful Kiss, I was only one male lead. Therefore, I was always under pressure, very hard from mental and physical viewpoints.

Though in Korea, the broadcasting of Playful Kiss already ended, it will start in December in Japan. On the other hand, a special version of this drama is now on air via YouTube for all over the world. This is the first opportunity for Korean drama to use YouTube for on-air.

Leader : I am very happy that countless number . of people in the world will be able to see this drama thanks to the brandnew format of broadcasting.

Q : How do you feel about attending the opening ceremony of Asia Games in Guanzhou?

Leader : It is a great honor for me to attend and sing a theme song on this occasion of Asian sports festival where people from through Asia come together, though I feel some pressure to sing a song in Chinese.

Q : Your solo album will be released in Asia at the same timing ?

Leader : Yes, I will also sing in Japanese. I hope that many people will enjoy it.
Acting allows me to live other’s life. As a singer, I can show you myself on the stage. Both of acting and singing means two wheels for me.

He makes his efforts in charity activities. Immediately after the ending of Playful Kiss, he had a fan meeting to see the final episode together with his fans. The full amount of the revenues were donated to support the activities of female high-school football. He is also expected to participated in “Message to Asia “, a charity event scheduled in December at Tokyo Dome where Bae Young Joong ssi will also attend.

Both of them also joined Japanese TV, “ Twenty-four TV” (another charity event TV program which lasted 24 hours) in August this year.

Leader : Both in Japan and Korea, the gap between rich and poor has been expanding. In Asia, there are many children suffering from lack of opportunity of learning, or poor environments. There are, of course, many people much active than me in charity activities. However, I can make the maximum use of my position as my fans can also support to help me. With the support from all of you, I would like to give support to the children in Asia.

Though his smile was very soft, he seemed to feel responsibility for the mission.

[Article] Park Jung MIn's Album Release Will Be Delayed

Credits: Liezle and rainaftershine.wordpress.com

Much thanks to rainaftershine for translating this news and sharing on blog as well as posting wonderwonders' translation from KPopLive!.

It's such a disappointment to know that there will be a delay on the release of Jung Min's solo album and postponement of his fan meeting in Seoul. But because of the reason, fans understood the reason for it. Actually it's not only Jung Min that is affected, many artists including Brown Eyed Girls, SISTAR as well as tv programs are affected.

Anyway, I read [though no confirmation from CNR yet] that the release ofJung Min's solo album might be on the 6th of January. Quite a long wait, yah? But of course we as fans are willing to wait. ^^ If it's true that the release will be on the 6th of Jan then in that week we will be treated with so much excitement as Kyu Jong and Young Saeng's fan meeting in Hong Kong will happen on the 8th of January.

Under mass expectation, there are two types of reactions to his acting skill "Still immature" and "Improved from the period of BOF". Compared to himself three months ago, Kim Hyun Joong said confidently that he's very satisfied with the Bae Seung Jo role he portrayed.

"(I wish) my work will be unique and valuable. I don't want to regret. Also, the role Bae Seung Jo is totally different from the person Kim Hyun Joong, so I worked very hard to show (Bae Seung Jo's) characteristics that are completely different from Kim Hyun Joong. To become Bae Seung Jo, I studied this role. If you see the sign of Kim Hyun Joong from Bae Seung Jo, then the role is still Kim Hyun Joong, not Bae Seung Jo" "I heard a lot of comments like 'improved a lot'. I wishes to hear 'Well done!' on the (current) basis of 'You've Improved'". As a Junior actor, Kim Hyun Joong showed his expectations.

Recently, many idols originally from idol groups challenged the field of musicals. DBSK's U-know, JYJ's Kim Joon Soo, SS501's Kim Hyung Jun and Park Jung Min, presenting their images besides singers from different ways, but Kim Hyun Joong brought out his own point "Never think about anything else besides acting and singing. Not to say that I don't want to, but I am still not confident enough to handle singing and acting at the same time. I only want to concentrate on acting and singing currently".

Kim Hyun Joong's enthusiasm about acting was seen during the hour-long interview. No matter what, Kim Hyun Joong had a strong will to improve his drawback in the acting skill.

It's curious about the true look of an ordinary 24-year old youth rather than an entertainer star Kim Hyun Joong. It is well known that Kim Hyun Joong loves soccer among the pop artists. The pictures showing his happy face in the community soccer club are well known from the the 'Soccer Fans' (Is this a magazine? Sorry, I am not quite sure here). Together with private coach and dancers, they rented a sedan and made a trip to Yang Ju(扬州) (Sorry, I can't find the Hangul name of the Chinese trans) for a (soccer) match. Kim Hyun Joong likes to play indoor soccer there.

"My position is center forward in the field. I watched all the scoor games in the Asian Game", Kim Hyun Joong said his most favorite player was Park Ji-Sung. "He's really the best soccer player of Asia. It is very exciting watching his game. He's very hard-working. The nick name 'oxygen tank' fits him perfectly." You can see his boyish look while chatting about soccer.

Kim Hyun Joong also talked about his daily life honestly "(I) like to eat chicken and drink Soju with friends in Seoul's suburb like Nam Yang Ju. Play Soccer or Go-Stop game to kill the time while waiting for meal" "Having a day like this, my exhausted heart and body are recharged. Though not able to spend days like this a lot, (I'd) love to go whenever I have time". Kim Hyun Joong said, bursting into a big smile.

Drama 'Mischeivous Kiss' leading by Kim Hyun Joong has been sold to many Asian countries before its TV broadcasting, which gained a lot of popularity in China, Japan, Taiwan and many other countries. Kim Hyun Joong is going to Taiwan for the 'Mischievous Kiss' promotion activity in the coming December 26th. There are only 2 months left in 2010, compared to the domestic market, actor Kim Hyun Joong will gained a more solid ground overseas where he stays for a long time.
