[News] The Best Performances at the 20’s Choice Awards: Hyuna, Kim Hyun Joong, Lee Hyori, UV




Mnet’s 20’s Choice Awards will be meeting its sixth show this year on June 28 at The Oasis.

The ceremony fanfares its arrival with the slogan that it’s Korea’s only summer awards ceremony for those in their 20s, and makes issues every year for its hot and shocking performances.

As such, enews picked out some of the best and hottest performances in the history of the show.



Barefoot Hyuna and sexy Kim Hyun Joong

The scenes that first come to mind when people think of the 20’s Choice Awards are probably from these performances that took place last year at the Walkerhill Riverpark.

Two stars shone brighter in the sudden rain: 4minute’s Hyuna and Kim Hyun Joong.

Hyuna performed her solo single Bubble Pop for the first time ever at the ceremony.

She started dancing in kill heels, but because the rain had made the stage too slippery to dance on, she simply threw off her heels and danced barefoot onstage.

Her barefoot performance actually added to her sexiness and drew bigger cheers from her audience, and perhaps thanks to this performance, Hyuna’s solo ventures garnered a giant success.


Kim Hyun Joong also shone this day for using the rain to his benefit. 

In the middle of his performance of Breakdown, he suddenly threw off his shirt to show off his six pack. 

The water-kicking performance that followed was enough to awe his audience and viewers.






Uhm Jung Hwa and Lee Hyori’s sexy collaboration

One of the biggest attractions at the 20’s Choice Awards is the collaborative performances between top singers. In 2008, Uhm Jung Hwa and Lee Hyori helped make the 20’s Choice Awardsmore popular by performing together in the ceremony’s second year.

Uhm Jung Hwa and Lee Hyori sang each other’s hits D.I.S.C.O. and U-Go-Girl, and followed up the performance by singing Uhm Jung Hwa’s DJ together onstage. 

Other collaborations included Jun Jin and Wonder Girls, Kim Gun Mo and Girls’ Generation (SNSD) and Big Bang and No Brain.



DJ DOC and UV flaunt their free spirits

The 20’s Choice Awards isn’t all about splendid performances. 

Some performances break through formalities and just have everyone enjoy the fact that they’re there. DJ DOC, who made an appearance to give out an award at the 2nd 20’s Choice Awards, had the crowd laughing when it pretended it couldn’t get into the ceremony.

In 2011, Yoo Se Yoon and Muzi won an award as UV and said, “We don’t know why you’re so crazy about our music, but the important thing is that you do go crazy.” 

The two then covered themselves with blood and performed with zombie backup dancers, trying to get the audience to join in a giant performance that everyone could enjoy.





Yoo Se Yoon is especially said to be the embodiment of the 20’s Choice Awards. Last year, he won the Hot Variety Star Award, and said, “This is my third award, and I think it’s time I got tired of this.” 

His words were surprising, but they definitely broke through regular ceremony formalities and showed what the 20’s Choice Awards was all about.

www.babyvfan.wordpress.com
EPOP : What’s your ideal type of family like?
KHJ : my ideal type of family is… Must have a wife! (epop : nothing else? Just a wife will do?) Yes, of course can only have one~ and also 2 daughters and two sons, I want them to grow up by the countryside!
EPOP : Which type of wife do you want to have?
KHJ : Kind-hearted, nice to both me and our children~ Must be pretty, have a tall and slim figure, hope she’s a virtuous girl, but not from Seoul~ (epop : in this case, fans in Seoul will be greatly saddened~) Jeju Island is not bad, I want to spend my retired days in Jeju~ (epop : do you know how to speak in Jeju’s dialect?) Like this? (epop : hyun joong spoke this with Jeju dialect’s accent!)
EPOP : If you are granted a superpower, what kind of superpower do you wish to have?
KHJ : I have been thinking hard on this, I want to have the superpower which enables me to teleport myself instantly! (epop : where do you want to teleport yourself to?) I thought about this many times, honestly speaking, I really want to visit the coffer of Bank Of Korea~ I am not going inside to steal, just want to go in there and have a look only~ Another thing i want to do, is to visit the UFO prohibited site in U.S. , isn’t there those kind of places in America? If can teleport myself instantly, I want to visit there. (epop : lastly, another place you would like to visit?) As you know, somewhere that guys would want to go~~ (epop : i think places that guys want to go is…en…boys restricted places!) May not be that, there’s also Beauty Salon, or even Manicure parlor~
EPOP : Although it’s a job that you like, however, nonetheless you are still human, there must have been times where you felt greatly pressurized?
KHJ : Of course there are lots of pressure, i felt stressed during the preparation for Asia Tour, it’s stressful during drama shooting too. However, I will not purposely distress myself, because it’s not something that can just go away as you wish. I will tolerate until the very last second on stage, and that’s when I will feel the best~ also when it’s the shooting for last scene of the drama, there would not be anymore stress I would start to relax~ (epop : you must been very happy at that moment?) That’s right, really very happy, I will work out too, but not for distressing, but because I, Kim Hyun Joong as a celeb, there’s a must for body management.
EPOP : What do you think is your personal charm?
KHJ : There should be charms that I don’t know of, I have also pondered over what I’m good at~ (epop : is there any instances where you look into the mirror, And thought to yourself “I’m really handsome”?) I do that, but when I go back home and look into the mirror without make-up on, I will feel very awkward… Just like girls, girls are more confident with make-up on, maybe it’s because I work as an artist, I also feel more confident with make-up on. (epop : then which part of your body, do you think it’s the most beautiful?) I like my eyes the most!
EPOP : Whats the happiest moment you had recently?
KHJ : The happiest moment I had recently is when I went to Japan~ I was detained at the airport, because previous times I went, I always used visa that’s for performance purposes. That time, I used travel visa to Japan, and I was detained inside the airport for an hour, I was very happy when they released me~ (epop : why were you detained?) Because I always used artist visa~ (epop : due to your high popularity in Japan, so they thought you are going to perform in Japan, but used travel visa to check in?) Yup! Therefore, after being kept for 1 hour, I was really happy at the moment I was released~ (epop : what were you thinking during that one hour’s time?) At that time, they kept saying, if you perform in Japan, you will get caught, of course i was not happy about it, but also because of this, I was released, and i was in a ver good mood! (epop : then, no more pressure right?) Yes, I was really pressurized back then!
EPOP : What’s your future plans?
KHJ : I will still meet everyone as a singer, I also want to go on more shows and interact with my fans~
EPOP : if there is only 24 hours left to live, what will you do?
KHJ : if there’s only 24 hours left, I no choice to do anything too, I only wish to have dinner together with my family, and pray to God, let me go to heaven! (epop : aigoo, what an honest reply! Hehe)
EPOP : your partner fir your UFO trip is?
KHJ : Although I don’t have anyone right now, but I think I will go with the girl I like in the future~ (epop : if that girl is frightened to go, and doesn’t want to go with you?) Then, I won’t tell her first, just go directly together!
EPOP : you have been to Taiwan for a few times, do you have any Taiwanese friends?
KHJ : Sadly, I don’t have any friends in Taiwan~ but I want yo meet the actors from Taiwan version of ‘boys over flowers’~

[Info] Kim Kyu Jong Enlistment and some facts about Hepatitis B

Credit: http://namjachingukhj.blogspot.com/




We are all aware that Kyu Jong will be soon enlisting in the army on July 23. After 4 weeks of training, he will serve as a public officer for 2 years. Why public officer? Because according to Kyu Jong's Agency, he is a carrier of Hepatitis B. Before, people who is a carrier of Hepatitis B are exempted for military duties. But because of the revision made for Korea's Military Service Law, now he is eligible to join the army. So, what exactly is Hepa B?

Extracted from Cheezeemelt501:
Hepatitis B is a liver inflammation due to the infection by the Hepatitis B Virus. You can get Hepa B from birth, getting prick from a used injection and through sex. In Kyu's case, he might not know that he is a carrier. His mother might be a carrier also when she was pregnant with Kyu.

However, Kyu should be very careful, he might not be experiencing health problems today but in a period of years he might develop liver disease such as Cirrhosis or worse Liver Cancer. But I'm confident Kyu is a very healthy person. He just have to maintain healthy lifestyle and he's safe with it. *wink*

Since Kyu is only a carrier, the virus in his body is like a time-bomb. Once activated (Low Immune System/Unhealthy lifestyle), he can then be infected and can lead to a real Hepatitis B. Hepa B Carriers aren't infectious at all.

Hepatitis b can't be cured via vaccination. It's only prevention.  Our body can get rid of the virus/infection itself after months or years.

A carrier is not necessarily infected and has Hepa B.

[Article] Kim Hyun Joong… STAR SINCERITY




By: LazerKim      Kim Hyun Joong boarded his flight to Haneda this morning, and so ball game is over, time to work again for Hyun Joong!!   He was out in the soccer field again yesterday, this time in red and black jersey. This is good for Hyun Joong to be taking advantage of his spare time to go running and chasing football. Because after this soccer games he’ll be in a real tight schedule again on his exposure at the same time start filming his come back drama City Conquest.
It’s Monday and I choice to share with you, Hyun Joong’s words at his recent interview. May I share it with you before Hyun Joong gets busy and surely we’ll be filled up with update news from Japan. This is one of Hyun Joong’s interview which has been sitting in my file for days now, these are his words:
FROM KIM HYUN JOONG
1. I wish that I can become a person who will work hard when working, and play hard when playing. People think I’m playing when I don’t have activities in Korea but I have been working throughout the year.
2. If there is really a girl whom I like I will persist on to love no matter how hard. My ideal type is someone that’s like a friend. The perfect girl in my mind must be able to get along with like a friend, who has no impurities in character. One who normally do not like heavy make up!! A girls who looks simple externally, has a simple and honest character and able to get along well with my friends and me.
3. I love freedom when I have no work I will want to release myself and because of that, I like to play soccer and going on a tour. The appealing thing of being a solo artist is that I can do what I want and express my own ideas. I’m those type that can’t rest too long. I like to non-stop creating and working opportunities. I do practice even on my rest days.
4. I hope I can act in a character which is different from the past characters I acted. I hope to have a totally change of image. I am undergoing acting training now for City Conquest due to the need to change the soft type of image I had last time. I’m hoping to receive the title of manly Kim Hyun Joong.
5. For my up-coming drama I need to work harder doing gym that’s why I work out very effectively lately. My body shape lately is the best in my history.
6. City Conquest is a many drama, it’s different from BOF and PK but there will still be romantic love scenes with female lead in this drama.
7. I will work hard to e a good actor, will  work hard to be a good singer and be a good person. My strength is that I must complete the things that I want to. Work hard to amend the things that I lack. My weakness is that I don’t listen to other people’s words. The things I won’t accept, I won’t listen.
8. I think that there is no obstacle that we can’t overcome as long as work hard you will gain success. I always feel satisfied. In order not to regret, hence work harder everyday and deal with its results.
9. I didn’t dream of being a rocker but I’ve always liked rock before joining SS501. I was in school band during middle school and played bass at the church, I want to be a musician behind a coll rocker.
10. Even if you’re unhappy you still must actively maintain a positive attitude and live life sincerely. I only want to be ONLY ONE and not no.1, because no.1 wll be replaced and become No.2 or No.3, But Only One can only be one person.
LazerKim Viewpoint:
There was a time in my life that I asked myself, why do we have to sleep? Why do we have to get tired and whether we like it or not we have to sleep! This was when I was working on a project that caught my interest and passion. I can fully understand Hyun Joong whenever he say I work throughout the year. If we love what we’re doing, we enjoy doing it and keep working on to bring out the best of what we’re doing. Just the same with Hyun Joong, the burning passion to work on what he loves is deeply rooted to his soul.
A media critic said Kim Hyun Joong lured his fans by his constant mentioning his hard work. Hyun Joong was just being honest in saying so and he’s just being himself. He was given a lot of projects, these are opportunities and chances for him to develop himself, grab it and work on those chances. We have seen excellent results out of his hard worked craft.
Hyun Joong even go beyond what is being required of him to do to enhance and bring out something new to his audience. I have seen this in his recent fan meeting concert which had gained a lot of media attention. There’s a difference in saying I have to and I want to. In his interviews he said it, in his fan meeting he wants to bring something different from the stereotype fan meeting and change the normal concept in a fan meeting.
 Hyun Joong mentioned that he loves his freedom being a soloist. In performing solo he’s free from restrictions that he can do whatever pleases him and his audience, he can sing what he desires, he can dance anyhow he wants and enjoy it with his audience. He has given all the chances to innovate, and from here we have seen the real Kim Hyun Joong at his best and still working on to develop what already exist in himself.
Hyun Joong has been innovating, now little by little he’s trying to spill out his ideas which I think had been stock up in his mind way back and this is the only chance to get it out and perform. The guy is just so amazing!!
I remember Lucas the Artmatic group captain was telling Hyun Joong, you have to take a rest after each run through rehearsals. Hyun Joong would stop and sit in one corner to rest, but while doing that, he’s singing!!
At the airport in Chengdu China at the immigration at wee hours of dawn, Hyun Joong was spotted memorizing his dance routine while waiting for the immigration officers to get done with his documents!! He’s always been like it even during waiting period at pictorial sessions, he’s always been caught either dancing or singing in one corner while waiting!!
This is becoming Hyun Joong’s habit, he doesn’t waste any single time he just kept moving on!! I’m sure by this time he’s already memorizing his script for City Conquest  and I can imagine him holding his script anywhere he goes. And if you happen to see him talking to himself, do not be surprised, for sure it’s the script he is memorizing!!! I can’t help thinking about Hyun Joong this way because this is him in reality.
Does his fame bothers him or gives him pressure? I don’t think so, because right from the start Hyun Joong has been constant that he indeed wants to develop himself. His fame, his fans they are his inspiration, for some reasons I could clearly see this from Hyun Joong.
He does not put his fame over his head, but keep it to his heart with sincerity in loving his fans. Hyun Joong is a type of person who does not just spill out the four letter word LOVE to his fans, in fact he seldom say it, and yet we fans feel that sincere love from him. Hyun Joong makes us feel his love, than hearing it from him.
One good example here just in my own opinion, as I observe at the airport, every time a fan hand Hyun Joong a gift or letter, he makes sure he looks at them whoever hand him the letter and either bow or smile. And whatever his fans wish for he easily gives in. Hyun Joong shows his love to his fans in lesser words but more of his actions. This is just his normal gesture which is very natural to him, which may not be too significant, but it does for a star and fan relationship.
What more can we ever ask for being a fan of Kim Hyun Joong?? We fans are so lucky to have chosen a perfect idol whom we can be proud of and worthy of our love and support. It feels great to write some realities about Hyun Joong, and this is not what we want him to be, but this is him in reality, a star filled with sincerity.
As Kim Hyun Joong’s last words in this interview he said “Even you’re unhappy, maintain a positive attitude and live life sincerely”. That’s him, that’s Kim Hyun Joong…

[News] 'City Conquest Never Been Featured in Korea Strategy'


Source: Star Daily News
Korean to English Translation: Cheezeemelt (www.cheezeemelt.blogspot.com)
PLEASE PUT PROPER CREDITS WHEN REPOSTING. 



"City Conquest's representative producer Baek Jin Dong was interviewed by Star Daily News. It's all about the upcoming drama and his thoughts about the casts and the best expected level for the drama. I only translated parts that was connected to Kim Hyun Joong and other casts, the rest are all about his life being a producer etc. etc.

Representative of 'City Conquest's' Producer Baek Jin Dong said "We are now striving for the highest standard level of action and visuals/effects for this drama/story"
"The first shooting spots will start on July 10 in the villages of Nikko, Tochigi Perfecture in Japan. Japan already guaranteed $4million dollars for the shooting progress. The strategy for City Conquest will offer/expect for a larger scale globally. So far, the spectacular action and melodramatic visual that we will offer is never been featured in Korea. All computer graphics and all of the shooting equipments are expected to be in the best level."

Did you expect Kim Hyun Joong to be the lead cast for this drama?

"Of course! Not long ago, 'Boys Over Flowers' was aired in Myanmar and the viewership percentage was 55%. In Asian countries such as Japan, Kim Hyun Joong's popularity is by far the best. You might think that casting Kim Hyun Joong in this drama is a mistake, but in this drama I'm 100% confident for Kim Hyun Joong"

KHJ : Of course there are lots of pressure, i felt stressed during the preparation for Asia Tour, it’s stressful during drama shooting too. However, I will not purposely distress myself, because it’s not something that can just go away as you wish. I will tolerate until the very last second on stage, and that’s when I will feel the best~ also when it’s the shooting for last scene of the drama, there would not be anymore stress I would start to relax~ (epop : you must been very happy at that moment?) That’s right, really very happy, I will work out too, but not for distressing, but because I, Kim Hyun Joong as a celeb, there’s a must for body management.
EPOP : What do you think is your personal charm?
KHJ : There should be charms that I don’t know of, I have also pondered over what I’m good at~ (epop : is there any instances where you look into the mirror, And thought to yourself “I’m really handsome”?) I do that, but when I go back home and look into the mirror without make-up on, I will feel very awkward… Just like girls, girls are more confident with make-up on, maybe it’s because I work as an artist, I also feel more confident with make-up on. (epop : then which part of your body, do you think it’s the most beautiful?) I like my eyes the most!
EPOP : Whats the happiest moment you had recently?
KHJ : The happiest moment I had recently is when I went to Japan~ I was detained at the airport, because previous times I went, I always used visa that’s for performance purposes. That time, I used travel visa to Japan, and I was detained inside the airport for an hour, I was very happy when they released me~ (epop : why were you detained?) Because I always used artist visa~ (epop : due to your high popularity in Japan, so they thought you are going to perform in Japan, but used travel visa to check in?) Yup! Therefore, after being kept for 1 hour, I was really happy at the moment I was released~ (epop : what were you thinking during that one hour’s time?) At that time, they kept saying, if you perform in Japan, you will get caught, of course i was not happy about it, but also because of this, I was released, and i was in a ver good mood! (epop : then, no more pressure right?) Yes, I was really pressurized back then!
EPOP : What’s your future plans?
KHJ : I will still meet everyone as a singer, I also want to go on more shows and interact with my fans~
EPOP : if there is only 24 hours left to live, what will you do?
KHJ : if there’s only 24 hours left, I no choice to do anything too, I only wish to have dinner together with my family, and pray to God, let me go to heaven! (epop : aigoo, what an honest reply! Hehe)
EPOP : your partner fir your UFO trip is?
KHJ : Although I don’t have anyone right now, but I think I will go with the girl I like in the future~ (epop : if that girl is frightened to go, and doesn’t want to go with you?) Then, I won’t tell her first, just go directly together!
EPOP : you have been to Taiwan for a few times, do you have any Taiwanese friends?
KHJ : Sadly, I don’t have any friends in Taiwan~ but I want yo meet the actors from Taiwan version of ‘boys over flowers’~

[Info] Kim Kyu Jong Enlistment and some facts about Hepatitis B

Credit: http://namjachingukhj.blogspot.com/




We are all aware that Kyu Jong will be soon enlisting in the army on July 23. After 4 weeks of training, he will serve as a public officer for 2 years. Why public officer? Because according to Kyu Jong's Agency, he is a carrier of Hepatitis B. Before, people who is a carrier of Hepatitis B are exempted for military duties. But because of the revision made for Korea's Military Service Law, now he is eligible to join the army. So, what exactly is Hepa B?

Extracted from Cheezeemelt501:
Hepatitis B is a liver inflammation due to the infection by the Hepatitis B Virus. You can get Hepa B from birth, getting prick from a used injection and through sex. In Kyu's case, he might not know that he is a carrier. His mother might be a carrier also when she was pregnant with Kyu.

However, Kyu should be very careful, he might not be experiencing health problems today but in a period of years he might develop liver disease such as Cirrhosis or worse Liver Cancer. But I'm confident Kyu is a very healthy person. He just have to maintain healthy lifestyle and he's safe with it. *wink*

Since Kyu is only a carrier, the virus in his body is like a time-bomb. Once activated (Low Immune System/Unhealthy lifestyle), he can then be infected and can lead to a real Hepatitis B. Hepa B Carriers aren't infectious at all.

Hepatitis b can't be cured via vaccination. It's only prevention.  Our body can get rid of the virus/infection itself after months or years.

A carrier is not necessarily infected and has Hepa B.

[Article] Kim Hyun Joong… STAR SINCERITY




By: LazerKim      Kim Hyun Joong boarded his flight to Haneda this morning, and so ball game is over, time to work again for Hyun Joong!!   He was out in the soccer field again yesterday, this time in red and black jersey. This is good for Hyun Joong to be taking advantage of his spare time to go running and chasing football. Because after this soccer games he’ll be in a real tight schedule again on his exposure at the same time start filming his come back drama City Conquest.
It’s Monday and I choice to share with you, Hyun Joong’s words at his recent interview. May I share it with you before Hyun Joong gets busy and surely we’ll be filled up with update news from Japan. This is one of Hyun Joong’s interview which has been sitting in my file for days now, these are his words:
FROM KIM HYUN JOONG
1. I wish that I can become a person who will work hard when working, and play hard when playing. People think I’m playing when I don’t have activities in Korea but I have been working throughout the year.
2. If there is really a girl whom I like I will persist on to love no matter how hard. My ideal type is someone that’s like a friend. The perfect girl in my mind must be able to get along with like a friend, who has no impurities in character. One who normally do not like heavy make up!! A girls who looks simple externally, has a simple and honest character and able to get along well with my friends and me.
3. I love freedom when I have no work I will want to release myself and because of that, I like to play soccer and going on a tour. The appealing thing of being a solo artist is that I can do what I want and express my own ideas. I’m those type that can’t rest too long. I like to non-stop creating and working opportunities. I do practice even on my rest days.
4. I hope I can act in a character which is different from the past characters I acted. I hope to have a totally change of image. I am undergoing acting training now for City Conquest due to the need to change the soft type of image I had last time. I’m hoping to receive the title of manly Kim Hyun Joong.
5. For my up-coming drama I need to work harder doing gym that’s why I work out very effectively lately. My body shape lately is the best in my history.
6. City Conquest is a many drama, it’s different from BOF and PK but there will still be romantic love scenes with female lead in this drama.
7. I will work hard to e a good actor, will  work hard to be a good singer and be a good person. My strength is that I must complete the things that I want to. Work hard to amend the things that I lack. My weakness is that I don’t listen to other people’s words. The things I won’t accept, I won’t listen.
8. I think that there is no obstacle that we can’t overcome as long as work hard you will gain success. I always feel satisfied. In order not to regret, hence work harder everyday and deal with its results.
9. I didn’t dream of being a rocker but I’ve always liked rock before joining SS501. I was in school band during middle school and played bass at the church, I want to be a musician behind a coll rocker.
10. Even if you’re unhappy you still must actively maintain a positive attitude and live life sincerely. I only want to be ONLY ONE and not no.1, because no.1 wll be replaced and become No.2 or No.3, But Only One can only be one person.
LazerKim Viewpoint:
There was a time in my life that I asked myself, why do we have to sleep? Why do we have to get tired and whether we like it or not we have to sleep! This was when I was working on a project that caught my interest and passion. I can fully understand Hyun Joong whenever he say I work throughout the year. If we love what we’re doing, we enjoy doing it and keep working on to bring out the best of what we’re doing. Just the same with Hyun Joong, the burning passion to work on what he loves is deeply rooted to his soul.
A media critic said Kim Hyun Joong lured his fans by his constant mentioning his hard work. Hyun Joong was just being honest in saying so and he’s just being himself. He was given a lot of projects, these are opportunities and chances for him to develop himself, grab it and work on those chances. We have seen excellent results out of his hard worked craft.
Hyun Joong even go beyond what is being required of him to do to enhance and bring out something new to his audience. I have seen this in his recent fan meeting concert which had gained a lot of media attention. There’s a difference in saying I have to and I want to. In his interviews he said it, in his fan meeting he wants to bring something different from the stereotype fan meeting and change the normal concept in a fan meeting.
 Hyun Joong mentioned that he loves his freedom being a soloist. In performing solo he’s free from restrictions that he can do whatever pleases him and his audience, he can sing what he desires, he can dance anyhow he wants and enjoy it with his audience. He has given all the chances to innovate, and from here we have seen the real Kim Hyun Joong at his best and still working on to develop what already exist in himself.
Hyun Joong has been innovating, now little by little he’s trying to spill out his ideas which I think had been stock up in his mind way back and this is the only chance to get it out and perform. The guy is just so amazing!!
I remember Lucas the Artmatic group captain was telling Hyun Joong, you have to take a rest after each run through rehearsals. Hyun Joong would stop and sit in one corner to rest, but while doing that, he’s singing!!
At the airport in Chengdu China at the immigration at wee hours of dawn, Hyun Joong was spotted memorizing his dance routine while waiting for the immigration officers to get done with his documents!! He’s always been like it even during waiting period at pictorial sessions, he’s always been caught either dancing or singing in one corner while waiting!!
This is becoming Hyun Joong’s habit, he doesn’t waste any single time he just kept moving on!! I’m sure by this time he’s already memorizing his script for City Conquest  and I can imagine him holding his script anywhere he goes. And if you happen to see him talking to himself, do not be surprised, for sure it’s the script he is memorizing!!! I can’t help thinking about Hyun Joong this way because this is him in reality.
Does his fame bothers him or gives him pressure? I don’t think so, because right from the start Hyun Joong has been constant that he indeed wants to develop himself. His fame, his fans they are his inspiration, for some reasons I could clearly see this from Hyun Joong.
He does not put his fame over his head, but keep it to his heart with sincerity in loving his fans. Hyun Joong is a type of person who does not just spill out the four letter word LOVE to his fans, in fact he seldom say it, and yet we fans feel that sincere love from him. Hyun Joong makes us feel his love, than hearing it from him.
One good example here just in my own opinion, as I observe at the airport, every time a fan hand Hyun Joong a gift or letter, he makes sure he looks at them whoever hand him the letter and either bow or smile. And whatever his fans wish for he easily gives in. Hyun Joong shows his love to his fans in lesser words but more of his actions. This is just his normal gesture which is very natural to him, which may not be too significant, but it does for a star and fan relationship.
What more can we ever ask for being a fan of Kim Hyun Joong?? We fans are so lucky to have chosen a perfect idol whom we can be proud of and worthy of our love and support. It feels great to write some realities about Hyun Joong, and this is not what we want him to be, but this is him in reality, a star filled with sincerity.
As Kim Hyun Joong’s last words in this interview he said “Even you’re unhappy, maintain a positive attitude and live life sincerely”. That’s him, that’s Kim Hyun Joong…

[News] 'City Conquest Never Been Featured in Korea Strategy'


Source: Star Daily News
Korean to English Translation: Cheezeemelt (www.cheezeemelt.blogspot.com)
PLEASE PUT PROPER CREDITS WHEN REPOSTING. 



"City Conquest's representative producer Baek Jin Dong was interviewed by Star Daily News. It's all about the upcoming drama and his thoughts about the casts and the best expected level for the drama. I only translated parts that was connected to Kim Hyun Joong and other casts, the rest are all about his life being a producer etc. etc.

Representative of 'City Conquest's' Producer Baek Jin Dong said "We are now striving for the highest standard level of action and visuals/effects for this drama/story"
"The first shooting spots will start on July 10 in the villages of Nikko, Tochigi Perfecture in Japan. Japan already guaranteed $4million dollars for the shooting progress. The strategy for City Conquest will offer/expect for a larger scale globally. So far, the spectacular action and melodramatic visual that we will offer is never been featured in Korea. All computer graphics and all of the shooting equipments are expected to be in the best level."

Did you expect Kim Hyun Joong to be the lead cast for this drama?

"Of course! Not long ago, 'Boys Over Flowers' was aired in Myanmar and the viewership percentage was 55%. In Asian countries such as Japan, Kim Hyun Joong's popularity is by far the best. You might think that casting Kim Hyun Joong in this drama is a mistake, but in this drama I'm 100% confident for Kim Hyun Joong"
