Analog boy, a glance at Kim Hyun Joong’s daily life
- when you are not working, what do you do? Definitely soccer! Even during the time filming 「Playful Kiss」, no matter how little time I have to sleep, I will definitely join in to play soccer. The members are made up from junior high school and high school students to elderly people. I’m always playing with my trainer and dancers.
- Heard that you have excellent reflexes. Which position are you at? Position doesn’t really matters in normal soccer team in the region (laughs). When I don’t have the strength, I will be at the back, it depends on the condition I am on that day and if it’s good I will attack. The position changed in according to the condition of the body at that time.
- Though there are a lot of artistes who are hooked onto smart phones and twitter, Hyun Joong didn’t join in? I hardly play games or use the internet. Usually I will check my mails, look at my news articles, visiting my fan café and leaving message…, 30minutes would be enough. I also don’t use a smart phone as I have no interest in it.
- do you often keep in contact with TVXQ’s Jae Joong and Yoo Chun? 「Playful Kiss」 which I have acted in and Yoo Chun’s 「SungKyunKwan Scandal」 ended at the same time. Though it was decided to gather together but JYJ overseas activities had started so we could not carried out what we had promised…. I think when things have been settled, we would go have a drink together.
- It was said that you had a rival relationship with Yoo Chun. Even on the popularity polls, both of you were always fighting over the 1st and 2nd place…. Both of us have a lot in common, debuting from idol groups, started out our acting activities at around the same time. So we were being said as rivals. In such point of view, I think we are sort of rivals but in actual fact, we are really good friends.
Kim Hyun Joong’s roots, SS501
- music and acting, which do you greed for? Which ever it is, it is hard to choose, to me both of them are important. Currently preparing the album to target it for May next year. There are a lot of things that I would like to try out next year. I would also like to have Asia Fan Meeting and World Fan Meeting.
- a lot of fans are worried about the future of SS501… We have spent a few years being together almost everyday. We do not contact each other everyday like lovers do but we do tell about our status. As each members are in their new management company, we talk about things like each of our working life doing what kind of work.
- are you in good terms with the members? There isn’t any reason to become bad. Recently I had been mailing Kyu Jong and Young Saeng. For this year’s Christmas, I planned to spend it with Young Saeng and a few other friends.
- when will we be able to see activities as SS501? I will not be able to say when. It seems to look like it’s difficult to gather 5 of us to work but actually it’s simple. What is clear is that the 5 of us will gather together at any time for the fans. However I’m not making irresponsible comments for just wanting the fans to wait for us. I think that for now is the period for us to grow which is necessary for each of us. In due time, I want to hold a concert for all the fans.
- what kind of concert would it be? It will not be a profit earning concert. For the sake of fans that have waited for us, I want to have a concert where tickets will be cheaper and all the profits will be donated. But of course, this will have to be approved by each of our management companies else it will not be possible…. I would want to do that.
- separated from the group and experienced having solo activities, surely you have realized the importance of the members? During the time having activities as a group, the missing part of each can be filled up by other members but it is not possible when being alone. So I will have to work 5 times harder.
“Little Yong-sama” Kim Hyun Joong’s Challenge
- since when the nickname “Little Yong-sama” was attached to the front of Hyun Joong’s name. Do you feel any pressure about it? Whether or not, I must accept this challenge. Because Bae Yong Joon sunbae, I have became a little famous, I’m very thankful.
- you have participated in the event at Tokyo Dome on 14th December right. As this event was held with a wonderful purpose, a lot of preparations were done. Especially on singing and also the stage performance….
- Among the overseas fans, is there any particular fans that left an impression? I received letters written in Korean from a lot of overseas fans and a lot of them wrote very interesting things…(laughs). There is this particular Japanese fan. In the letter she wrote, “I love Hyun Joong more than my hubby.” Feeling a little troubled over it… (laughs)
- have you mentioned that you wanted to get married early…? I thought of getting married when I’m 30yrs old but when I really think about it and realized that this plan is out of the way…. Being a star, is to enjoy having the spotlight on own self but I still feel the pressure…. So be it either in love or married, I probably will not let anyone know about it…
Long and nice lovely interview!! will split it up cos i dont have enough time to upload all now xD
Looking from his outlook, he looks like an “urban style man” who is at a fancy café terrace drinking espresso and at the same time managing his schedule on his smart phone. But in actual fact, he is far from the image that we had imagined to be, he doesn’t enjoy using not just the smart phone but as well as the internet too. He is the “Analog man” who you meet once in a while at the soccer field asking “How are you doing?” more than sending mails via the mobile.
His “cool” talk about Korean drama 「Playful Kiss」
- From TV version to YouTube version, it’s quite a long time spent for one drama.
When one of the works such as albums and dramas etc has finished, I would think that another one more of my works has increased which in future I could show to my children and boast about it. This drama 「Playful Kiss」 is one of such works.
- For the filming of the YouTube version, was there any special experience that you had…Comparing to the broadcast on TV, there isn’t really much restriction to the “exposure of brand names”. During the broadcast on TV, as there are restrictions in regards to the exposure of brand names, there were many times we almost laughed out as we were trying to hide the brand names. Needless to say we have to also take note of the restriction in the midst of the dialogues and scenes…. So for the YouTube special version, we are free from all these restrictions and as we were able to act freely, which is very good as more possibilities are widened.
- This piece of work is your first drama as the leading actor alone, do you feel attached, regrets about it? For this work, I can feel how much responsibility there is alone as the leading actor.
- Unfortunately the viewership did not increase, in regards to this what do you think about it? Frankly speaking, I wasn’t worried about it. If I were to worry about the viewer ratings, surely from the beginning I would have choose a blockbuster drama. I have no regrets at all as I acted the character that I wanted to act as and I have work hard for it.
- how was the reactions around? The people around are more worried about the ratings than I do. So on the contrary I encouraged and said, “As I have expected that it would be low, later it will go up”… (laughs)
- In the drama, with heroine Jung So Min having a sweet love story, is the style of love of Baek Seung Jo the same as Hyun Joong?? Totally different. Because I do not want to love like he did (laughs). He looks slightly unfriendly but in fact he is caring type of guy. While I’m acting as him, there are times when I could not agree with his style of love. I feel that if you like, you should express it out.
- while acting, in fact do you feel that you want to fall in love too? In fact I haven’t really thought about it. Actually, I don’t really have the time for it…. The first thing that I could think of is “I want to sleep even for a minute more!” (laughs). This is how tight the filming schedule was. How can I be so carefree and think of “I want to be in love!” (laughs)?
- Following after 「Boys Over Flowers」, this time the story is also revolves around the school, other than the original story is adapted from manga, is there any other similarity? Overall the lines seemed unnatural…(laughs). Yoon Ji Hoo and Baek Seung Jo’s lines and the way I talk, the words I used are a big difference. Well it can’t be helped since it’s a campus story.
- Have you thought about your next work or character? I would like to try acting in action dramas or pure love story drama. As I have already acted as a romantic, kind character, I would like to try acting a bad character.

Q3 : You previously talked that you were composing songs by playing a guitar, or piano in your private studio at home. How about your recent music activities?
A : As I am too much occupied that I cannot have such a private time. In order to prepare for my solo album, I would like to have a dance lesson first.

Q5: Recently, Kpop is getting more and more popular. How do you feel about it?
A: I am very happy that many Korean activists are active in Japan, getting high reputation now. Though the center of the popular artists are now boys group as well as girls groups, I would like to make my best efforts by myself so that I can prove that Korean solo artists are fantastic.
Q6: Wow, it increases our expection !What kind of music, do you aim?
A: The music I would like to aim is “ performance music “ . With fusion of music, dance, and a beautiful video art, I would like to show audiovisual performance which stimulates sense of vision and hearing.

Various Chinese portal sites like Sohu, Baidu, Google, Sina.com, and others, recently asked their visitors to vote for who they thought was the most popular Asian star.
Kim Hyun Joong won, carrying 3068 (19.2%) votes, probably due to the fact that his most recent drama, “Playful Kiss“, is currently airing in China. While Kim Hyun Joong was popular as part of the group SS501, he didn’t nearly have enough popularity then to beat out the other stars, like Rain and TVXQ, who were on the list. This further supports that Korean dramas still have a great deal of influence in China.
With the results from 2-10, you can see that the drama-popularity trend remains strong, with Song Seung Heon, who’s currently playing the lead in “My Princess”, placing 2nd with 1684 (10.5%) votes, and Girls’ Generation/SNSD’s Yoona at 3rd, with 1259 (7.9%) votes for playing the lead in “You are My Destiny”.
Rain came in 4th place, with 1190 (7.4%) votes; TVXQ’s Yunho came in 5th, with 1148 votes (7.2%); Lee Wan came in 6th place with 991 (6.2%) votes; in 7th place was Lee Seung Gi, with 682 (4.3%) votes; in 8th was Super Junior’s Heechul with 600 (3.7%) votes; 9th was Kim Jung Hoon with 529 (3.3%) votes; and finally, Moon Geun Young with 291 (2.5%) votes.

"It is not easy to act as genius man - the dialogue is full of unfamiliar words. I must kiss Jung So Min without any dialogue. it was weird, but it was playful kiss. I'm happy if the audiences like it. Thank you to my fans who voted me for this award," said Yoon Ji Hoo cast in Boys Before Flowers.

This interview was held a day after the 14th December 2010 Charity event at Tokyo Dome in a local hotel. His dressing has the chic feeling and together with the mood in the room giving an adult look during the photographing. Right after the photographing is the interview. Having the magazine in his hand and seemed to remembered that about one and a half year ago, SS501 had interview and regular column on B-PASS magazine and said, “brings back memories~”. Actually, on this day he was feeling a little unwell but Hyun Joong still answer each and every questions slowly and steadily. Taking time out from his busy schedule to select songs for the album seemed tough as he talks about it and just smiled wryly.(^^)
"Actually, I normally don’t really watch love story movies. The event “Valentine's Day” itself is something children looks forward to it every year but when one becomes an adult, I think that recently it isn’t such an important event (laughs).
“Confession” is something you do when you have someone that you like right….(lonely).
Ah! How about [Charlie and the Chocolate Factory] that Johnny Depp has acted in!? There are various scenes of delicious looking chocolates shown. Although I think that for an adult to watch seems a bit too childish? (laughs) but from the world’s point of view it’s like a fairy tale and very interesting isn’t it. I think this is a movie where adults or children can just enjoy it."

Kim Hyun Joong will also return with solo album in May...
"It's now Kim Hyun Joong's turn"
Group SS501's member Kim Hyun Joong who has been receiving lots of concern over his solo activities all this while has entered the final stage of album preparations.

He has had experiences in the field of acting where he was last casted in drama [Playful Kiss]. This shall be his first time stepping forth after SS501's activity period not as an actor, but as a singer.
According to one personnel from his agency KEYEAST, in order for him to have a much distinctive stage as compared to past stages while with his group, he has had since received more than 100 songs and are in process of song selections at the moment. As for his album structure, instead of a smaller scale as a digital single or mini-album wherein burden would also be less huge, they have thus decided for an official full album. With that, it is much obvious that Kim Hyun Joong is really adamant and serious about his solo start-out for this time.
Personnel from his agency has explained, "We're now in the final stages of album production", "He will be challenging dance, ballad and diversified genres since it will be his first time on stage as a solo singer".
Kim Hyun Joong's solo activities will be the fourth member in SS501 as a solo singer after Park Jung Min who first started out in January with [Not Alone], and then to Heo Young Saeng who will be challenging as a dance singer at the end of this month, followed by Kim Hyung Jun will begin his activities in March after signing on with Japan AVEX agency.
Apart from member Kim Kyu Jong who will be slated to step forth as an actor instead, all SS501 members will be doing activities as a singer for the time being.
