Pure Passion
Passionate First Step
Kim KyuJong
Start. First ever fencing in his life, breaking away from ‘SS501’ and set his first step with the name ‘Kim KyuJong’. During the period where he is filled with a retreating heart saying ‘Should I quit everything’, he met this musical, it was a thankful meeting as it made him rethink of his motto ‘Let’s challenge without any regrets’. Living as actor Kim KyuJong these days, he uses the method of ‘Do my best in everything no matter what’ on the tensions, takes out his confidence with ‘I can do it’ on the heavy burdens, while preparing for musical.
Musical, Prince
Playdb: Startedfirst performance in Japan.
I was very worried prior to the first performance. After the first performance ended, the actors/actresses talked about “Having good hunch about it”. Besides feeling great to be talking about the sold-out of tickets, the audience response is really great even till the very last performance. Our performance venue is Kabuki theatre in Kyoto which can hold 1,200 seats, it is a very old theatre, there are a lot of fans in the audience who are there to see the performances in the theatre. Especially that there are many grandfathers and grandmother audiences, and maybe the royal family story touches their heart so they cried a lot. At that moment, the thought of ‘Moved the hearts of the audience’ came to my mind and tugged at my heart.
Me to Musical
Deep acting, outstanding singing skill. I don’t think that I was successfully casted because of these.
To me, I want to achieve that role if what they want is the ticketing power of idol singer and the vitality of a musical.
I am currently learning intensively, the reason for practicing is also because I can do my part on stage, also because to be able to well in the other roles given to me.
Playdb : Critics that “If there is no Hallyu Star Kim KyuJong, overseas fans won’t move”
Prior to musical, there was comic and drama which plays a big part on letting people know about this musical. There are comments such as “Heard that SS501 Kim KyuJong will appear in musical which Hallyu star representative ‘Dong Bang Shin Gi’ Uknow Yoonho acted before”. (Kim) HyunJoong hyung asked “I heard you did well for the musical in Japan?”, and continued “It was a sold-out, isn’t it a huge theatre with 1,200 seats?”, “That is really great, a good experience, really great”, giving a lot of praises to me. I’ve stood on stages of theatre with 30,000~40,000 seats with my members, but I had no idea about other genre, other theatres. After I returned to Korea, every time the people I know said to me “That’s great, congratulations”, I felt ‘Wah, it turned out well’. Feels good.
“Idol Singer, I know the part I have to play”
Playdb : Under the poor critics of idol singers going into musical acting, there must have been a lot of stresses.
It is fine, really fine because I don’t think that I was successfully casted because of outstanding acting and singing. They thought of idol singers’ ticketing power too. I want to do well in the role given to me by them, so practicing is the basic thing to do, and did many interview so that it helps in promoting. However, idol singers really prepare a lot before coming out these days. Came out really intensely and difficult. Because that they are labeled as idol, I hope that these friends will not get hurt.
Playdb : Are you very interested in musical?
I like performances. I watched a lot of plays and musicals. I watched Ock JuHyun noona’s, and thought “That’s impossible, how can a person do that? I guess it is possible because she is Ock JuHyun”. Then (Park) JungMin was going to do . He asked me “How was my musical?”, wah it is really good. But he was always saying “It’s hard, hard, really hard”. So I thought “ah, I mustn’t do musical”. In fact prior to , I received a lot of proposals for musicals, but I was determined not to do it ever while rejecting them saying “I will watch it as a fan”. I didn’t know it turn out like this in the end.
Playdb : What is the reason for changing your thoughts?
There are any talks about trying out in drama and movies. I received acting lessons, for a person who used to dance and sing under the fancy lightings, I felt uncomfortable acting in a quiet place, and formed a bad feeling at the thought of ‘ah, I think I can’t do well’, and can’t adapt well. I said to my boss “I will prepare for an album release since I work hard on singing”, but he told me “I hope you can go into acting”. After a long discussion, the conclusion is that the stress will be smaller if I go for acting via musical has music. But musical is even scarier to me. I said I hated it for almost 1.5 months. Finally I started with the thought ‘It won’t do, I must get interested in it’, and now I am really enjoying it.
Playdb : Is there a reason why you choseas your first musical?
First is thatis a interesting story, and also the fact that the performance is in Japan. When will there be another chance to be able to stand on the stage in Japan as a Prince from Korea? (laughs) What attracted me the most is the honor of going up on the stage as a representative from Korea in Kyoto.
Playdb : It is a musical which Uknow Yoonho acted in before.
After being confirmed casted as Lee Shin, I sent a text message to Yoonho hyung ‘I think it is really difficult’. Hyung replied back ‘You will do well. You are now Lee Shin’. So I thought, ah, it will be fine if I am determined like that. Yoonho hyung is strong and charismatic, but I am the opposite. You will see a different Lee Shin in the opening performance.
“I had one dream, 5-member idol singer”
Musical to Me
I had one dream since young. 5-member idol singer.
Because that dream was fulfilled, I was troubled by the thought of ‘What should I do now?’
When I was troubled and even decided that I have to quit everything,
I met this musical, and felt once again the fun of singing, dancing and acting.
It is none other than musical that made me find the interests of life.
Playdb : During your school days, heard your nickname as ‘Prince’, so you played the role of prince.
Since elementary school days, my dream was to be an ‘idol singer’. I will definitely not take any funny photos with my friends. I can’t let those photos get around when I become an idol singer later. Because I have such a foolish side of me, my friends tease me like “Are you a prince?, Prince! You are not eating today too?”. It is definitely not that I’m a handsome prince. In, ‘Lee Shin’ is handsome even by just keeping still, a truly prince role. Really a prince. (laughs)
Playdb : First musical performance in Korea is right ahead.
Burden is heavier compared to the first performance. Everyone’s expectation is higher because of the news that the musical has done well in Japan. Jokingly “Ah, I guess I shouldn’t sign the contract for performance in Korea” we joked about it like this. (laughs) The best thing is that almost all the actors/actresses who have done the performance in Japan will also perform in Korea. That is a great strength to me.
Playdb : Seems like your friendship withactors/actresses is extraordinary.
We got attached to each other since the long hours of practices, and performances in Japan. When with SS501 members, we practically don’t talk much. Because we have been always together since young, we just know everything about each other. Not feeling good, or what happened. But over here, because we have to get closer with each other so that we will be able to be in tune with each other on stage, we had to quickly get to know a lot about each other, so we talked a lot. It feels like entering a new school and meeting new friends. This is the first time I talked so much with people and not singers, and knowing new friends.
“When I gave up on everything, it was musical that made me stand up”
Playdb : There must be a good point about musical.
I was pondering ‘What should I do in the future’ because I’ve fulfilled my dream of being an ‘idol singer’. I thought in even more details when our members were dispersed around, and having different agencies. Should I start on other studies, should I rest for a few years, should I paint drawings, should I dream a new dream.... I have a lot of ideas but I’m at a loss and couldn’t do anything. I was afraid and fearful. At that time, people around me and my members gave me good advices that I can do musical, thus I was able to start. Last time when I receive drama proposals, I would be afraid and said “I will do it a little later, I am preparing to perfection.” But now I say “I will do it, I will try it out”. It is none other than musical which made me find the interest again in the things I am able to do.
Playdb : What is the response of SS501?
Big trouble than advices, what they told me most is ‘difficult/tough’. It seems like it will be fun to act in a play with (Kim) HyungJun. Like, a cute while fun musical. While watching HyungJun’s performance, I was surprised “Why is he doing so well?”.
Playdb : SS501 is famous for being ‘GaeNyeom-dol*’. (*Idol with upright ideas, i.e thinking of the interests of fans)
Everyone is simple and honest without any bad points. Even during our promotional period, we were always being scolded, “You guys must have ambitions, when others do well, do you only clap? Have some ambitions” (laughs) There was a popularity voting via phone ARS, we told our fans not to vote as it will affect their telephone bills. That was 100 won or 200 won per call, which is a huge money for young people. And because they will not just once or twice but vote continuously. Thus we told them never to do that, and that representative (from the company who organizes the voting) was angry why we said that.
(xiaochu : Can you girls remember?! TT_TT That was during the MKMF 2006 mobile voting! They had an interview for the voting and they were leading, and JungMin told the fans not to spend such money, they’re okay not to win this award~~ And HyunJoong also wrote in one of his diary entry asking fans not to use money to vote. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww that’s my boys!)
Playdb : There are many people who are waiting for SS501 album.
I think the important thing now is gain experience while doing our individual activities other than 501 album. Later when we come back together, we must return and possess the strength that nothing can break us. I am thinking that 501 album will be released some time next year.
Playdb : Is there a musical you want to play in?
I watchedplayed by (Kwak) SeonYoung noona, I really enjoyed watching it. I would also like to play a slightly childish role like that of .
Playdb : What is your future target, wish?
I hope that musicalperformance in Korea will end in great results. It is fine even if you speak unfavorable of it, but please give it lots of attention. (laughs) Even though being a ‘idol singer’ used to be great, but it is not good forever. It seems like we practiced a little and showed you the same thing for the past 4~5 years. To the extent that we felt sorry to our fans. I think the moment has come to show what I have worked for. It is good that I am able to act and sing now, it is valuable and fun experience. And knowing very well how much determination and hard work was put in. The moment for me to show what I have work for is now, I want to spent ‘now’ well.

Hello Kpop Covers Kim Hyun Joong's High-Five Event in the Philippines
So happy that even in smallest way I am part of his Hi-Five event... how i wish oppa was there watching triple S flashmob dance... hehehe.... so proud! Oppa saranghe!
“Short but sweet..”
On August 25, 2011, Kim Hyun Joong returned to the Philippines for his Break Down album promotions through a Hi-five Touch Event. Because of his popularity in the country, the whole activity center was jam-packed with fans, some of which had queued up for the event as early as four in the morning!
As expected, the long wait was all worth it. The show started with some trivia games, performances from Filipino artists and Triple S Philippines‘ showcase of talent as they danced to Kim Hyun Joong’s Break Down.
Finally, Kim Hyun Joong was introduced to the whole crowd, or should I say, the “sea of green,” because most attendees wore green to show support to SS501‘s leader and to express unity!
About five hundred lucky fans were able to see him up close and do a hi-five with him. It was a fast interaction between Kim Hyun Joong and his fans, but the happiness and sincerity could be felt on both sides!
Before the event ended, Kim Hyun Joong thanked his fans and waved them goodbye. With the massive success of the event, the Philippines might have a bigger chance of being included on his Asian tour. Even Kim Hyun Joong expressed his hope for it to be included.
A big thanks to PolyEast Records for allowing us to be a part of the event!

Kim Hyun Joong meets the auction winner
PEP: Korean star Kim Hyun Joong meets 74-year-old Filipina fan
On his second day in Manila, Kim Hyun Joong once again shows himself to the press for his endorsement, The Face Shop.
In his press conference held in Palm Grove Rockwell last Friday, August 26, the Boys Over Flowers and Playful Kiss star answered some questions regarding his grooming secrets.
He said he usually use moisturizer to maintain his smooth and soft skin.
Hyun Joong only proves that use of beauty products are not only for women, but also for men because it will help them keep their young and healthy skin.
74-year-old fan. Besides about beauty and Q&A, the program also included the announcement of The Face Shop Philippines winner for the charity auction which took place last August 18-21, 2011.
The thing that was auctioned was an autographed gray sports shorts which is frequently used by Hyun Joong during his dance rehearsals.
The winner is Maria Rosario Ragasa, a judge, who joined the promo for her mother Patria Ragasa which is an avid fan of Leader from the K-Pop band SS501.
According to the story of the event host Grace Lee, Patria turned his daughter's room into 'Kim Hyun Joong shrine' because of her too much admiration for the Korean star.
They have attempted to follow Hyun Joong in Korea a couple of times to have his picture taken with her but they cannot approach him.
So when they have heard about the auction, Maria Rosario told her mom, 'Mom I will try my best to win this for you so you can take a photo with him.'
She said this is her gift for her mom who is celebrating her 74th birthday.
It was also Maria Rosario's way to thank her mom who continues to take care of her, especially now that she recently had a stroke.
Kim Hyun Joong immediately went down the stage to approach the mother and the daughter.
They were both teary-eyed when they came face-to-face with their Korean celebrity idol.
Even though we cannot understand what Hyun Joong said to the two, (because he was speaking in Korean), we can see in his face his heartfelt gratitude because of the support of the fans not only in his programs and music, but also for his charity projects.
After a brief meeting with Kim Hyun Joong, the Korean actor personally handed over to the representative of Abiertas House of Friendship, the beneficiary of the auction, the check worth Php 100,000.
Additionally, Grace Lee also announced that Kim Hyun Joong himself personally gave One million pesos donation for the center who helps in the emotional and spiritual healing for the unwed mothers in the country. -- Demai G. Sunio-Granali, PEP

Additionally, Grace Lee also announced that Kim Hyun Joong himself personally gave One million pesos donation for the center who helps in the emotional and spiritual healing for the unwed mothers in the country. -- Demai G. Sunio-Granali, PEP

Kim Hyun Joong hopes to include Philippines in Asia tour
By JONATHAN M. HICAP
MANILA, Philippines – Overwhelmed by the immense support of Filipino fans, hallyu singer and actor Kim Hyun Joong promised that he’ll try his best to include the Philippines in his Asia tour that will start in December.
Kim Hyun Joong revealed this and more during his press conference at the EDSA Shangri-La Hotel in Mandaluyong City last Aug. 25.
The popular star is in the Philippines to promote his first solo album, “Break Down”, released by PolyEast Records, and meet his Filipino fans through a “High Five Touch” event at the TriNoma Activity Center in Quezon City.
This is Kim Hyun Joong’s second visit to the Philippines. He was here last year to perform at a concert.
During the press conference, Kim Hyun Joong talked about his new album, successful career, his supportive fans and future plans.
He said he was overwhelmed by the show of support he got from his fans when he arrived in the country.
“I was shocked and amazed by the fans who greeted me at the airport and here [hotel),” he said.
At the TriNoma event, the first 500 fans who bought the album were given the chance to have a “high-five" with Kim Hyun Joong.
“Break Down” is one of the most important milestones in Kim Hyun Joong’s career since debuting in 2005.
He said he was involved in making the album.
“I was involved in all the processes that went through with the album: jacket, the lyrics, melody. With your love, this will be a great success,” he said.
The mini-album features the title track that's produced by Ken Lewis who has worked with Eminem, Kanye West, Usher and John Legend.
“All the songs in the album are great. [For me] 'Break Down' is the best,” he said.
He has also released music videos for “Break Down” and “Kiss Kiss.” Asked what is the most memorable music video for him in the album, he said, “I tried my best for all the music videos that I’ve made. I cannot say right away.”
But the “Kiss Kiss” music video seemed to have stuck in his mind as he joked that it was the lowest budget music video.
Kim Hyun Joong revealed that his second album will be released in October and he will hold a concert and Asia tour in December.
“In October, there will be second album coming out and in December, there’s a concert and Asia tour. I’m not sure yet [about the venues] but I will try to include the Philippines,” he said.
There is also a plan for a free concert for his fans but he’s not sure of the details.
Asked what would be her next goal after conquering singing, acting and modeling, Kim Hyun Joong said as of now, he is focusing on being a singer and actor.
He said he cannot choose his preference between singing and acting since he loves them both.
“Again, it’s very hard to pick. Both of them are my professions and I’m loving it,” he said.
He said that there are challenges on being a solo artist.
“There have been a lot of actions and moments while I was doing my job and I’m expecting more,” he said.
He added that singing and acting are the two things that make him happy.
“It’s all related to what I’m doing and what I love and that would be singing and acting,” he said.
He revealed despite the hard work he’s doing, his fans have kept him going.
“When I’m on the stage, I feel like I’m getting tired but every time I have contact with the fans, that’s the time I get recharged,” he said.
On musical influences, Kim Hyun Joong cited Korean musician Seo Taiji as one of those who have made an impact to his career.
“There are a lot of Korean musicians who helped me out and brought me to what I am now. One of them is Seo Taji, one of the famous Korean singers and a (musical) legend,” he said.
At the conclusion of the press conference, he thanked his Filipino fans.
“Thank you for all the love that you have showered me. I’ll try to include the Philippines in the Asia tour. I will try to bring better songs and better performances,” Kim Hyun Joong said.
“Break Down” is exclusively distributed by PolyEast Records in cooperation with KeyEast Entertainment and CJ E&M Korea. The “High Five Touch” event was held with the help of TriNoma, Edsa Shangri-La, The Black Fleet, Astroplus, Sparkling, MYX, and Manila Bulletin.

News about Kim Hyun Joong Press Conference in Philippines
I just wanna put this statement first:
"There are stars that look good in photos but look ordinary in person. This cannot be said of Kim Hyun Joong. If you think he looks good in photos, you should see him in person. Photos simply do not do him justice."
-- i totally agree with this statement!!! Even I can't really believe that such Perfect person such as Kim Hyun Joong does really exist... I haven't posted my fan account yet but then this statement is really true.... big difference from photos and in person... He is perfect! that's all I can say! =')

Kim Hyun Joong shines bright in Philippine visit
Korean hallyu star and Yahoo! Asia Buzz Awards veteran winner Kim Hyun Joong personally greeted the Philippine press and his fans on August 25 as part of his Asia-wide promotional activities for "Break Down", his first mini album.
As previously reported in Yahoo! Philippines OMG!, Kim Hyun Joong fans have been counting the days to his Manila visit. In fact, Filipino Triple S and Henecians, as Kim Hyun Joong fans are called, have created several consolidated efforts to show their love for Kim Hyun Joong including fan chants, welcoming (and farewell) committees, and a lot (and I mean a lot!) of fan gifts.
Kim Hyun Joong initially became popular in the country for his portrayal of the unrequited lover Yoon Ji Hoo in "Boys Over Flowers". His fans also know him from his previous reality TV stint in "We Got Married" where he was "married" to an older Korean singer named Hwang Bo. His latest drama starrer, 'Playful Kiss' generated high ratings for GMA7 during its local run. Aside from acting, Kim Hyun Joong is also known for his singing and dancing talents as leader of the idol group SS501. "Break Down" is his first release as a solo performer.
Kim Hyun Joong is known to his fans by a myriad of titles or terms of endearment. The more popular Kim Hyun Joong titles include "Leader" for being the leader of idol group SS501, "4-D" or "4-Dimensional" for his many out-of-this-world quips during interviews, and "Walking Statue" for his near perfect physical form.
During his press conference held at the Edsa Shangrila Hotel, Kim Hyun Joong revealed that he indeed deserved these titles.
Kim Hyun Joong as 'Leader'
Kim Hyun Joong's commitment to perfecting his craft, which includes singing and acting, is apparent when he expressed that "being a singer and an actor at the same time is a great task for me." He further expressed that: "In my official album, I was involved in the whole process including jacket design, lyrics, melody…all in all and with your love, this will be a great success."
Asked about his upcoming projects, Kim Hyun Joong revealed that he is working on a second album due out in October and that he will start an Asian concert tour by December. Without being prompted, the star showed his leadership when he expressed that he will try to include the Philippines as a stop in his Asian tour. He also mentioned plans to do a drama and perhaps a movie in 2012.
Kim Hyun Joong as '4-D' or 'Four-Dimensional'
Kim Hyun Joong is known for his propensity to give unique and slightly kooky responses to interview questions inspiring fans to tag him as "The 4-D Idol". So, did he exhibit "4-Dness" during the press conference? The answer is a resounding "Yes!"
When asked about which music video was the most memorable for him, Kim Hyun Joong expressed that he worked hard on all of them. However, after a fan shouted "How about Kiss Kiss?" Kim Hyun Joong offered his sweet smile and said "Well, I'm telling the truth, 'Kiss Kiss' was the lowest budget music video" eliciting laughter from the press.
Kim Hyun Joong also exhibited his "4-Dness" when he tried to give his microphone to his translator who had some problems with his. Kim Hyun Joong even went as far as trying to fix the microphone by taking it apart. Exactly who is the star here? You or the translator? There is indeed something 4-D yet extremely lovable about that gesture.
Kim Hyun Joong as 'Walking Statue'
There's no denying it. Kim Hyun Joong is one of the finest Korean stars of this generation. His tall physique, glowing skin, stylish blond hair, and perfect profile lives up to the title "Walking Statue".
Wearing a semi-formal black suit with leather details, Kim Hyun Joong can just stand in front and it will be enough to satisfy his fans. There are stars that look good in photos but look ordinary in person. This cannot be said of Kim Hyun Joong. If you think he looks good in photos, you should see him in person. Photos simply do not do him justice.
Kim Hyun Joong's 'Hi Five Touch Event'
Kim Hyun Joong's "Hi Five Touch Event" at Ayala's Trinoma Mall was a real success as 500 Filipino fans got to run up to the star and give him a "hi-five" or in Filipino, an "apir!"
This unique fan event, the first of its kind in the country, reveals an innovative way for fans to interact with their favorite stars. It was touching to see that Kim Hyun Joong worked hard in giving each and every one of his 500 fans a warm smile and a personal "thank you (very much)". He took special care of little girls who went to see him. Indeed, Kim Hyun Joong has surpassed the expectations of his Filipino fans.
Today, August 25, 2011, will be treasured in their memories as the day they finally saw (and/or touched) a walking statue!

A short but interesting talk with Flower Boy!
Q: The most concerned question to many people we want to ask is when will SS501 comeback together?
HJ: I really don’t know the answer. By this time and in near future, I have many planned activities and also want to act in some dramas. Other SS501 members will also busy with their own schedules. Therefore, it’s hard to confirm when we will comeback together.
Q: Between Henecia (HJ’s official FC) and TripleS (SS501’s official FC), which one do you feel more biased?

Q: With a busy schedule like this, how can you ensure the best quality for your next album which you intend to release in October?
HJ: With the successful of “Break Down”, I will release another album in October. Because I have made carefully preparation for “Break Down”, so my next album will surely be worthy. Besides, despite having a busy schedule, I often go playing football and take care of my skin carefully at night. So, my health will be at best condition to produce a perfect album. (smile)
Q: If you hold a World tour for your own, will you choose Viet Nam as one of your destinations?
HJ: I really want to hold a World tour and intend to have one next year. Of course if I hold a Kim Hyun Joong’s Concert, Viet Nam will be one of my destinations. (^^)
Q: Many Vietnamese fans want to understand more about your friendship with 4D Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun and Top. Are you closed with Jaejoong the most?
HJ: They are my best friends in entertainment industry. Whenever having free time, we will drink and chatter together. But now all of us have many plans to do so we have no chance to gather. Recently I have a talked with Jaejoong. He is my close friend.
Q: Vietnamese fans sent you a Vietnamese traditional costume called “Áo dài khăn đóng” as your birthday’s present. Did you receive it and how did you feel?
HJ: I’m sorry for not seeing your gift from Viet Nam because there have been so many gifts sent to me on my birthday. But, the first time coming to Viet Nam, experiencing your love for me, I feel thankful and appreciated. I promise to requite your love with a wonderful concert next year.
