DO NOT REPOST TO WGM RELATED SITES PER HYUNBAR!!


Wishes to Hear ‘Well done!’ on the (current) basis of ‘You’ve Improved.’




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 Bae 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.

Kim Hyun Joong Oh-HONEY

What's in a name?What meaning or secret does it hold for the bearer?Well, we are not talking about the inate mysticism of the name Rumpelstiltskin nor its meaning. This article focuses on the recent interview of JSM and the sweet name KHJ is calling her.According to JSM, KHJ is fond of calling her HANI, the female protagonist's name in the recently concluded Korean show entitled Playful Kiss where she played the lead role.


However , ardernt stalwarts of the famous love team (KHJ and JSM) are putting different phonetical and spelling twists for the word HANI. By pronounciation, the word HANI, short for OHANI, sounds more like the word HONEY, a term for endearment for somebody special! Even Wikepedia supports the term: Honey (English pronunciation: /ˈhʌni/)!Further, JSM mentioned in the same interview that KHJ and herself have become close friends since filming PK. But calling JSM , sweet Hani by KHJ? Maybe he also think that he is BSJ as well!


It can be recalled that in PK, JSM played the young wife and the love interest of the male lead character BSJ . It might be that the term "HANI" is a misnomer for the word, HONEY. Who knows?
Sometimes,(Korean ) ART (drama, e.g PK) can really imitate LIFE...

So there! Cheers everyone!

Kim Hyun Joong "Can Love Be Refilled" Special

Ok..So because Kim Hyun Joong is soo immensely popular, even his past videos are being used now..

A small trivia to those who just became a fan of Hyunnie: Can Love Be Refilled was Kim Hyun Joong's first sitcom drama. It wasn't really mainstream gigantic drama like Boys Over Flowers, that's why BOF is still Hyun Joong's first ever drama. 

He looks sooooo young right? Bur even before, you can see he really has great actor potential..

[News] Kim Hyun Joong: “Those Kisses & Almost-Kisses… In Reality, were…”

Translated into English: BB @ LoveKimHyunJoong.com

To Kim Hyun Joong (24) who is taking the leading role of a TV drama for the first time as “the fussy guy” Baek Seung Jo in MBC’s Playful Kiss, although the 3% rating was far from the initial expectation, to him personally, he still felt that he had gained much (from it).

- What are your thoughts after the drama’s ended?

“Feel that I’ve good wrap-up for this year. As this is the first TV drama whereby I’m the main lead, so it’s particularly meaningful. I felt a great sense of responsibility during the filming, because the drama evolved from and developed around me, so my condition could affect the entire team’s mood and ambience. Only when I relaxed myself and worked, then the crew could carry on with the filming in a more relaxed manner.”

- There’re unusually many kissing scenes in the drama!

“It just looks that way, but actually there’re not many. There’re many scenes that involved lips nearly or barely touching; in terms of real kissing scenes, there are only three.”

- You’ve been labelled as the second Bae Yong Joon, do you feel any pressure or burden with the label?

“As opposed to pressure, what I feel more is joy. I suppose it’s because sunbae is the first generation of Hallyu star, and I’m also carrying out Hallyu activities, that’s why the label of the second Bae Yong Joon.

We (SS501) were also referred to as the second SechsKies when we first started out, but later, people gradually remembered our name. I suppose it’s the same this time.”

- Amongst the presents that Bae Yong Joon gave you, which left you with the deepest impression?

“Pu-erh tea. Said that’s something good.”

- You’ve even sung the theme song at the opening ceremony of the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games. What does that feel?

“As that’s a big stage (platform), and I was representing Korea on-stage, so the pressure was tremendous. I really heaved a great big sigh of relief after the song that day. One whole month of listening to the same song and practising everyday, that was really tiring.”

- Are you still running the chicken eatery now?

“My friends are still running it. As for how much money it’s made, I’ve absolutely no idea. I would go look for them there once in awhile. Times like this, I’d stay in the kitchen to wash the tomatoes or fry the chicken pieces and stuff. But since I always just stay in the kitchen, the patrons wouldn’t know that I’m in the shop.”

- Heard that you’ve moved to Seongsu-Dong in Seoul recently, is this true?

“Yes, I’ve moved, but no, it’s not to Seongsu-Dong. Because many fans used to always hung around my home, so it’s brought a lot of inconvenience to the neighbours at the old place, and there’re also many complaints, so I had to move. This time, it’s a rented place.”

- Why rent instead of buying a house?

“Because I’ve no money. (laughs) There’s someone who’s helping me to manage my finances; other than my monthly allowance, everything else goes into the bank account. Of course, I may earn a bit more than people my age. But when it comes to money, once it exceeds a certain amount, it becomes quite meaningless. I don’t have hobbies like drinking expensive red wine, so that really is the difference between having more money or a little less money? I don’t even have a car. I use the company’s car every time even if I’m doing my personal things.”

- Rumours have it that you’ve a close relationship with Hero Jae Joong, T.O.P from Big Bang, how about you guys forming a group?

“That should be not bad. When we were drinking together, we too joked about this, and talked about holding a joint concert. Although it’s gonna be quite tough (to pull off), but if people really wish to see us together, and if the companies agree too, perhaps it can be done.”

- What are the future plans of SS501?

“Truth is, many people have questioned if we’ve already disbanded. Since we’ve already concluded our discussion about the future activities of SS501, so all of us have joined different agencies. During the time when our contract with the previous agency expired, no agency was able to accept all (five) members. So we plan to have solo activities, and then come together as a group to present to everyone through performance.”

- Amongst the gifts from fans, which one left the deepest impression?

“A 10,000-won bill. That bill’s serial number is my date of birth. Initially I had thought that it was a fake bill, but when I took it for a closer look, I realised that it was real.”

- What do you do when you’re resting or on your off days?

“I play soccer. I’ll play soccer every week. Although I’m not a professional footballer, and I also don’t have a regular or fixed position, but i play attack generally.”

- What do you want or pursue in life?

“I wish to live happily with people. When with friends, we practically go Dutch every time. Regardless of who you are, everyone forks out 10,000 korean won, just like club fees. Friendship can collapse because of money. I feel that amongst friends, there should be no distinction about whose achievement is more, and who has done more, or less.”

[News] Kim Hyun Joong Wishes to Co-star with Dong-Yi Actress Han Hye Joo

I am getting confused with all the girls she likes! 


If I am not mistaken, Han Hye Joo is also the lead girl at Shining Inheritance? Correct me if I am wrong..

Flower boy Kim Hyun Joong chose Han Hye Joo as the actress he wants to co-star with.

In a recent interview with Edaily SPN, when he was asked if there was any actress he would like to work with, Kim Hyun Joong replied, “Han Hye Joo.”
Kim Hyun Joong further explained, “It’s because her acting is impressive, and she seems to be around my age.”

“Wishes to act in a drama appearing as lovers of similar age.”

In reality, Kim Hyun Joong was born in June 1986, and Han Hye Joo in February 1987; there is just an eight-month gap between the two. But Han Hye Joo had made her debut in the MBC drama Non-Stop 5 in 2005, followed by Spring Waltz by and High as the Sky Wide as the Earth (aka Sky and Land aka As Much as Heaven and Earth) by KBS, and then Iljimae and Brilliant Legacy by SBS, Dong Yi by MBC, etc, and appearing as the female lead in these dramas. Her recent showing in the Taiga historical (period) drama as one of the main leads had harnessed as well as showcased her acting.

Propelling Kim Hyun Joong who Wishes to Act with Her to Work Even Harder

Kim Hyun Joong did not disguise his admiration, “I had watched Dong-Yi when it was showing, Han Hye Joo’s image was really eye-catching.”

"10 years later I want to film a special coverage of Boys over Flowers alumni event".

Singer cum actor Kim Hyunjoong revealed his hoping-for similar to the above sentence as he divulged his unchanged affection for drama [Boys over Flowers].

In an interview held with SPN E-daily recently, "We'll gather all our casts of BoF after 10 years and see how much each has developed all this while, it'll be lovely if we could shoot it so fun", as Kim Hyunjoong says.

KBS 2TV drama [Boys over Flowers] was Kim Hyunjoong's debut TV work where it recorded above 30% of viewership ratings, and this was broadcasted during last January to March as it gave fame to Kim Hyunjoong. Including male lead Lee Minho as Goo Junpyo and Kim Bum plus Kim Jun, these 4 combined to be the members of 'plutocrats of the 2nd generation' - F4. This work was what catapulted them all into stardom.

Indeed, it was through F4 member Yoon Jihoo's existence in [Boys over Flowers] that Kim Hyunjoong has received affirmation and acknowledgment as he goes on to star as male lead of MBC drama [Playful Kiss]. To that extend, it is [Boys over Flowers] exactly that holds huge significance for Kim Hyunjoong.

"I still do come out for meetings with our [Boys over Flowers] members. And there are times that the female lead - Hyesun nuna comes out in our gatherings too", as he flaunted their unchanged friendship.

Hyun Joong on Having Meals with Friends...

Kim Hyunjoong who recently clinched a 'big hit' CF deal with a fee of 1.7 billion won across 2 years has expressed, "I stick to my principle of sharing Dutch-paying together with my friends whom I grew up intimately with since young". 

In an interview with Yonhap News recently, "Even if I may earn much more money, I'm just an ordinary friend to my long-time friends", "In order not to lose my long-time friends, when we meet up we'll share to pay about 10K won per meal. It's a principle I have so as not to lose them", as Kim Hyunjoong explains. 

Since young, along with his 15 friends whom he grew up with in Songpa-gu, Kim Hyunjoong has been staying in contact with this 'Songpa-gu group of 15', and amongst which, there were a few who collaborated with him to open a roasted chicken store. 

"With 2 of my friends, we opened a roasted chicken store in our frequent haunt-outs, though in reality I'm not able to go there often. If I do drop by down there, my friends actually have to roast the chickens or if not peel onions and all that, they're mostly busy, so actually, we can't gather together and have fun much", as we listen to his fun episodes.

He also added, "To those friends of mine, I'm just but another ordinary friend. Just like how my friends work, I do even have instances whereby I roast the chickens and prepare the dishes myself, too". 

"I don't have a girl whom I meet up with and it's been some time I don't have a girlfriend. I tend to prefer and like being with my male friends and hyungs more. I like to play soccer with my male friends and eat baked meat together". 

He also conveyed that because he "is busy so I've no time to be in relationship, and, it's not easy for me to meet a girl. The girl may know me well, but because I don't know the girl well, in such a situation, I don't think I can open my heart to the girl easily", "Since I'm the type where once I trust a person it won't be easy for me to doubt him/her, most of the time I just meet within my circle of friends/acquaintances only". 

Kim Hyunjoong also once stayed together with JYJ's Hero Jaejoong where this displayed their close relationship, but recently they're living on their own in different places.

"It's definitely not that our relationship has turned bad or anything. We're fine. There were just too many fans than we expected who always crowded around our houses, and people in our neighbourhood protested alot. It came also that our house contract ended too, so we just moved out. I saw how much disturbance it caused to the people in our neighbourhood, and it seemed like only the nearby convenience stores reaped from that. Once again I'd like to say sorry to my neighbours".
