Although “ Baek Seung Jo” this character likes to say mean stuff, he dosent cares about how the others feel, will say stuff to hurt his friends around him on purpose, but he is actually very good at heart, treats everyone very well.”
He then continue jokingly: “ since July when the filming officially starts, the team has already finished filming from episode one to about episode three, now the feeling is starting to sink in, can say that I have already going into the character, maybe in a few months time when the filming ends, I will be able to scold people very well, or hurt people with words!”
*Cute poster attracts attention, Kim Hyun Joong feels the stress when acting*
The Baek Seung Jo that Kim Hyun Joong is acting in “Mischievous Kiss” is cool and unfeeling., but his suave outlook still attracts lots of love from female classmates, he is known as the prince charming by the girls in the school, he will always have loads of girls appearing in front of him expressing their love for him, wanting to be his friend, which made lots of male classmates jealous, this also puts him in a very akward position, but nobody will think that he actually will fall in love with Oh Ha Ni (Acted by Jung So Min), begins living together, and this is the start of a romantic love story.

Kim Hyun Joong emphasized: “Being a Singer is my main career, but I cant ignore the passion for acting. A singer must release all his charms within 3 minutes, but for drama it is long period of waiting for opportunities and results, just the waiting alone makes me full on anticipation, maybe this is where the charm of acting is.”
