[article] Kim Hyun Joong…PERFECT PERFECTIONIST



Image
By: LazerKim     The new born year had finally come, on New Year’s day we tend to make a list of resolutions on how we can change ourselves for the better. Kim Hyun Joong is no difference from us. In one of his interviews on a talk show he mentioned that people thinks and says Kim Hyun Joong is perfect, but he couldn’t accept that for himself. He said he’ll work harder to be worthy of his nickname Mr. Perfect given to him by some of his fans. But what is there to be changed in him?
Kim Hyun Joong is blessed with very good looks, multiple talents, excellent personality, a fashion icon  and blessed with a big heart specially to the needy. But he’s right nobody is perfect no matter what. He said he still lacks a lot in his ability that needs to work it out to improve. Knowing the guy is such a perfectionist he wouldn’t mind working night and day so as to give a perfect performance consistently. He said in his Taiwan interview, one aspirant should be the first to wake up and the last to sleep. Well, that’s obviously what’s he’s been doing whenever he hits the rehearsal hall.
Image
Change in a person doesn’t happen overnight even there’s a long list of New Year’s Resolution in front of you, as far as bad habit is concern. Ability needs strong determination to develop and I believe Hyun Joong has that kind of determination, patience, hard work and acceptance to its result.  Judging from his one on one interviews, he’s a type of person who loves challenges, an adventurer who loves to try anything new, a perfectionist who wouldn’t mind dancing and singing till dawn just to perfect his piece and he’s the type who rise up stronger whenever he stumbles down.
Hyun Joong came back stage stronger as a solo artist, resulting to remarkable popularity rocket high in a span of six months. There will be more challenges, more struggles and obstacles ahead of him this year 2012 but I believe he had already built a stronger courage and confidence to face his obstacles  head on. He doesn’t relax no matter what amount of awards he kept receiving, it served as an inspiration for him to keep going and spread his music.
Image
It’s only Hyun Joong who knows what changes he ought to be doing for himself in 2012. He’s practically holding his four aces, his fans are ever faithful to him which I admired so much. And may I say Hyun Joong gives them his 100% importance and I admire the relationship his fan network and himself  had created in or out of his country. Hyun Joong ended the year 2011 being in the company of his fans and starting the year 2012 will be a fan meeting which means he’s starting his year with the company of his fans.
While we were busy preparing for year end 2011, Hyun Joong had been busy preparing his storage of ideas for 2012.  But remember this guys, whenever he’s in a silent mode, he’s cooking something for you, but be patient, he’s a perfectionist, he won’t take the risk to go out there with flaws head to foot. As his interview with Guerrilla Date, he said there was a slight delay in launching his first album because he wants a perfect come back.
And so he did, history repeats itself, he’s very fond of giving big surprises to his fans. Do you still remember how you felt when he surprised you in his black short hair, muscled body built in black leather suit??   So I repeat, the guy has a big storage of ideas, if he’s not Mr. Perfect then he’s a perfect perfectionist to make sure you’ll be surprised enough to give you a heart attack in 2012!!!
This is how much he loves his fans!! Well, to prove him right, quite recently he surprised you by a kissing act with After School group, didn’t he?? Were you not surprised if not shock by that act?? It was all over the blogs the following morning, that I want to kill the girl at first sight!!! LOL.
Image
And so for 2012, there will be no new year’s resolution, because we already know Hyun Joong will just pop out from nowhere in his new image or if not it’s gonna be something you haven’t seen from him in the past. Base on history I can only assure you of one thing, he’ll give you a perfect shock!!
And with that, let’s support his ideas. He’ll not give a blind show just because he already had captured your interest, instead he’ll give you a higher dosage of it. He’ll make another noise for those who haven’t heard him call in 2011. Let’s be there with him because he’s doing it for us. What have we got to lose, in my experience knowing the guy lead me to a new frontier of learning from his story. In fact the longest drama I’ve ever watched is Kim Hyun Joong’s story.
The question now is not what is in store for Kim Hyun Joong this year because he already has it in his hands. But what is in store for us from Kim Hyun Joong this 2012.
Image
I trust Hyun Joong, no matter what change he does in his outlooks he’s still handsome, no matter what he does it’s cute. He had already proven himself that I’m not following him blindly.
For the new fans like me, give it a try to know more about him, you’ll find a lot of interesting facts about him and learn. You’ll laugh with him, you’ll sing with him and sometimes you’ll cry with him because this guy has a lot of deep sentiments in his heart that you’ll only find it out from his honest heart………Happy New Year!!!……..Happy Kim Hyun Joong year!!!

[article] Kim Hyun Joong…SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP



Image
By: LazerKim         You must have read this article as one of my first few ones which I have written in January 2012. Please take note that I am just re-posting this article since this had been misplaced from the WordPress, just for the record. There were five articles which had been misplace so I’m just putting everything in order.
We have met Kim Hyun Joong in a different episodes of his career. Some of you must have met him way back when he was still with his group SS501, some must have watched him first at the airing of Boys Over Flower or Playful Kiss, and some from the launching of Breakdown and Lucky Guy as his first two albums as solo performer. Which ever episode of his career that we first met him, each one of us has a story to tell on how we started to get crazy about Hyun Joong.
It’s so amazing to think of it, Hyun Joong and his fans has a strong bond that stick together no matter what, specially those who have met him during his SS501 days. Many of his fans network who had started as strangers to each other had build strong friendship because of Hyun Joong. And some may have started to dig for information on who Kim Hyun Joong really is in real life.
So how did you meet him? How was he able to capture your attention? Do you feel much closer to him after knowing more about him? Have you reached the point of being addicted to Hyun Joong that you wanted more from his music, drama or TV appearances? Do you seek for ways on how you’ll know more about him and while doing so the closer you get to him?
These are just but natural to be starstruck, let’s share our experiences about Hyun Joong and compare notes on how we started to go crazy about the guy. I’m sure we’re on the same boat but had embark on different ways.
Image
Do you remember the flower boy at Boy Over Flower Yoon Ji Hoo? You rarely see this boy’s image nowadays because he had already outgrown that image. I first saw Hyun Joong at Boys Over Flower, in fact I don’t even know his real name but I fell in love with the character of Yoon Ji Hoo, a very handsome rich high school boy who’s soft spoken, gentle, protective, withdrawn from the real world and lonely. Back then I was more interested on the plot of the drama rather than the actors.
After BOF the next thing I read about Hyun Joong was when he switched agent to KeyEast in 2010 owned by my first favorite Korean actor Bae Yong Joon. That was the only time I knew his name was Kim Hyun Joong and that his first project under KeyEast was Playful Kiss.
On my birthday few months ago as I was browsing You Tube I saw this photo……
Image
The caption says “Kim Hyun Joong Break Down”…….oh no this couldn’t be him!!!  I started watching the video of Breakdown but I still couldn’t believe my eyes as I watched this guy in black short hair, well developed muscle in black leather suit and dark glasses. I searched more videos of Breakdown and other latest videos of Hyun Joong from 7pm till the following morning at 7am straight up. I was burning with curiosity searching for that flower boy I have known from BOF and started asking myself what happen to him, where did that flower boy gone?
From that day onward I research on Hyun Joong’s history and background, I went over with all the videos I can find at You Tube, in short I was totally glued on him. Until such time I tried finding ways to get information about him further and I came to discover Twitter, Blogs in getting updates, news articles and fan’s post all about Hyun Joong. The You Tube and Hyunnies Pexer’s blog became my best friend as a way for me to connect with Hyun Joong.
Image
The days that I couldn’t get anything to read or watch became boring for me! I go over Hyun Joong’s TV appearances, talk shows, whatever I had in my file about him, I watched it over and over. Apparently I never get tired watching him specially his interviews which lead me to having personal knowledge about who Kim Hyun Joong really is.
How well now do I know Hyun Joong to fall for him like crazy? Well, Hyun Joong is blessed with perfect looks and he knows it but never brag about it, on the contrary in a talk show Night after Night he admitted he still envy other actors for being handsome. He humbly embrace his weak points and work hard to improve. He never pretend to be someone he’s not.
He seldom smile specially to strangers or being in strange place. He seem to be like an aristocratic snob but he can easily give in to the smile of others. He’s candidly honest about anything, he’s transparent and would like his fans to accept him for what he really is, good or bad, that’s him. His 4D personality is the most interesting trait that he has, and anything he does even his own mistakes looks cute on him!!
And among other artists, I think he’s the only one who constantly change his image from time to time, and when he does, as if you’re facing a totally different person. In short, he’s one unique individual that anything he wear suits him perfectly.
He has the power transform himself in just a glimpse. He has the power to let you listen to him, the power to make you laugh, to make you cry and to make you fall in love with him in his most simple way.
There were also Hyun Joong’s detractors or critics and every time I read harsh comments about him I felt hurt. Can’t help to think if I as a fan gets hurt reading harsh comments about him, what more would Hyun Joong feels? Although I have considered him to be professionally matured in the industry that he’s gone used to criticism but still he’s just but a human being who can also get hurt.
I admire Hyun Joong’s fans, who go after his critics and defend him in a calm, matured, rational approach. I don’t belong to any KHJ’s fan club but I’m proud of them and proud to be one behind the scene. Oh yes, I remember Hyun Joong guested at a talk show Lee Sora and she commented about KHJ’s fans to be well behave and well mannered, which I agree. The fans do cheer for Hyun Joong but they know their limitations and strictly follow. On my observation even the official KHJ fan blog they seem to be more approachable and responsive in a kind manner.
Image
Looking at the entire picture between Kim Hyun Joong and his fans seem to have mutual respect with each other. I believe Hyun Joong has a soft spot in his heart that belongs only to his fans. I can remember how Hyun Joong broke down to tears during his SS501 last few concerts as he thank his fans for their support. Then another event was when the group accepted an award during their starting days, he broke down to tears that he can hardly speak to thank their fans. And the recent event as solo was in June 7, 2011 when he read his letter to his fans. What he had gone through must be tough but his fans remained supportive as ever.
One statement was made by Lee Sora as his message to Kim Hyun Joong,  translated as
“There is a way when all that one hears and sees can be possible when all the strength are combined together. So I sincerely believe that everything Kim Hyun Joong works hard for will come true to the degree that your fans collectively give that force and strength to you”.
This message was so inspiring and apparently it came true, because from the time Hyun Joong released his first two mini albums, he had been receiving awards from here and there, his fans were all busy voting at the polls, his albums selling like hotcakes and anything he touches or work on turns to magic success.
Image
 Many of us has been a part of Hyun Joong’s struggle and success, and again what drove you to be at his side? The time he was made to be make a tough decision leaving his SS501 tag, you were at side sharing his tears of pain leaving his most precious friends.  The time he was on struggle for doing solo which was not an easy challenge, you were there to spare him strength. You willingly take a bullet of criticism from his detractors and patiently defend him so as not to hurt him.
You were there to support when the polls call for his votes, and all the time wherever he performs you’re there at the top of your voice cheering for him and when it’s time to harvest his awards you were there to cheer for his ultimate truimph.
As it became his and your struggle and success, it’s remarkably special relationship between Kim Hyun Joong and you, his fans. There will be another challenge Hyun Joong has to face this year 2012, will you still be there standing by his side?

[article] Kim Hyun Joong…MEMORIES 2011



Image
By: LazerKim          There were about six articles which I have written in 2011 which are not officially recorded in my file and this is one of those articles. For the record I would just like to re-post this which was written in December 31, 2011. Here’s the article way back:
From this hour on, we start our count down as the year 2011 slowly fades away to welcome the new born year. But before we bid farewell to 2011, let’s look back and reminisce the most unforgettable events that Kim Hyun Joong left our hearts for this year. Or maybe simple memories that will always remind us of Hyun Joong. What are those that sticks to our mind about him that makes us laugh, cry, or even hurt us one way or another being a fan? And for you, what are the most significant events transpired this year that you can never forget about Hyun Joong?
We only get to see KHJ on TV, videos though internet, and we only have known him though news updates, articles written by those who have personal experiences of watching his live concerts or live TV appearances and yet he’s close to our hearts, even we do not have any personal knowledge as to who he really is.
Kim Hyun Joong’s  popularity rating this year had risen remarkably, so I’m sure many of you out there had started following him this year. What made you glued your eyes to him??
Image
As for me, when I first saw him promoting his first solo album Breakdown as his come back stage project highlighted his singing career. I was star strucked by his transformation in black hair, well built muscle in black leather suit and his powerful charisma magnetized my whole system that until now I have not gone over with his Breakdown image even he had already changed to blonde, I still could not forget that flower boy who had turned to a real man, that shake the entire continent and dominated the billboards.   For me it was his best character ever.
Hyun Joong became my sole interest that taught me a lot of things that i have not experienced in the past. This year may be his best year as he stepped up as a solo artist proving himself in bringing out the best in him as a singer and dancer.
Image
I barely know Kim Hyun Joong, I know nothing about his behind the scene true self. I wasn’t even aware about his 4D personality until I came to watched him when he guested at Mnet MUST, The photo above was one of his turning nuts that every time I watched this video which is over a dozen times, I still laugh at it. He was actually describing himself if he gets drunk he sings crazy!! LOL he was so cute!!! I can’t imagine a very handsome gentleman would be this way whenever his 4D personality attacks!!! Gosh he’s really something!!!
Image
Then after throwing himself like crazy, at the same show, Hyun Joong sang a very beautiful ballad “Fortunate” (Dahaemida). I actually fell in love with this song, I can never forget how he sang this song filled with love and emotion, his voice coming from the depth of his soul had touched my heart that even I could not understand the song lyrics since it’s in Korean, but the melody and his voice gave me an unforgettable feeling of being loved. I do wish he would have another chance to sing it again next year. And he looked very handsome as he sang it, would make you fall head over heels in love with this guy.
Image
In another talk show “Guerrilla Date”, showed his candid honesty in a funny way but totally expressionless as if he was casually talking to a friend. The interview by host went like this:
Host: Did your agent paid your rehearsal fees and commercial modelling job?
KHJ: Yes
Host: Did you gave the money to your parents?
KHJ: No, I paid for my taxes, it was huge amount so I set money for it, now I’m broke!!
Host: You must be very close with your boss Bae Yong Joong, what do you usually talk about?
KHJ: We talk about history of his women, and laugh about it, the normal men’s conversation.
Host: Both you and Bae Yong Joon are batchelors, right? What can you say about it.
KHJ: It’s alright with me to be bachelor……because I’m still young ….but Bae Yong Joon Hyung should get married!!!
Host: What can you say about your fans?   Say something to them..
KHJ: I have many adult (noona) fans that would say “Hyun Joong ah I’m going to marry you” don’t say that.. if you meet a good man, then I hope hurry up and marry him!! What I feel good about noona fans if they come to my concerts when they’re pregnant……I just really like it…come with big bellies…and give shock to their babies!!!
The host couldn’t control his laughter, he was laughing the entire interview!!  I can’t forget this talk show, that sometimes out of nowhere it just pop out of my mind and start laughing by myself every time I get to remember this.
Image
The photo above was another funny talk show from Strong Heart, although it was televised sometime in 2009 which I have only watched recently, but it’s one of my most unforgettable. Hyun Joong here was talking about his high school days, when his teacher asked his class to compose a long poem of about three pages. KHJ was honest enough to say he’s not much interest about studies, but at least tried.
Anyway, he was thinking of how he can compose a poem, then he thought of using the lyrics of a song about mothers and he included the adlib part of the song that says yayaya that would make three pages long. And so he wrote the song lyrics instead and submitted it to his teacher. The song was about a mother who passed away that Hyun Joong was able to convinced his teacher that he actually wrote a true to life poem about Hyun Joong’s own mother.
After sometime he had forgotten about the poem, his teacher invited their class parents to come to school. And so he told his mother to come over, but his teacher whom he convinced that his mother had passed away thought that Hyun Joong brought his step mother. And because the poem was all a lie, Hyun Joong was badly punished by his teacher!!!
Image
This photo above was taken during a one on one interview with Lee Sora Second Proposal. Hyun Joong talks about his first love here and his lack of self expression or interaction with others. One thing I couldn’t forget in this interview was his message to his fans. As he stated and translated as
“I hope that I will always be the kind of person whom you will not be criticized for being my fan. But if you happen to meet another person will say I understand. Please believe in me and I will work hard”.
I will never forget  this message to his fans being truthful to his words, he worked hard to bring out the best in him, to be deserving of their love and support.
Image
This photo was taken on June 7, 2011, a day after Hyun Joong’s birthday, launch his first solo album Breakdown showcase attended by some 4,000 fans. In this photo Hyun Joong broke down to tears while reading his letter to his fans. This was the most memorable event for me about Hyun Joong, he was able to disclose what he felt during the time he was preparing for his solo album. He said he was scared to be doing this alone by himself, then he could only watch his fans having conflicts and that he couldn’t do anything and being helpless made him feel small. I was in tears while watching him read the letter but I admired his courage to humble himself in front of his fans. He’s such an amazing guy.
A press conference was held on the same day, and he stated that he worked harder to make better music to move away from the shadow of SS501. It wasn’t easy at all to fill up a big stage all by himself   the pressure was too much to bear but he was able to build his courage to surpass the challenges he had faced before he finally stepped up to his stage.
Image
From this time on till the year ends, anything that Kim Hyun Joong touches or work on any project turns in a magical success. He thank his fans by creating a memorable love song Marry Me in a digital single as his Christmas present before the year ends.
 Kim Hyun Joong has what it takes to be a superstar. He may not be the best singer or actor but he possess a certain power of charisma beyond comparable to any Kpop artist. People will always remember him for what he really is because he has never pretended to be someone else he’s not.
These are the memorable moments that for me will remain unforgettable about Hyun Joong. And lastly, knowing an artist like him is my most precious memory. This year I had a great time listening to his music everyday, I had a bunch of good laughs every time his 4D attacks, I had such fun seeing him dance and I shed tears with him in sadness and joy of his success.
To Hyun Joong, thanks for being you……Kim Hyun Joong.

[article] Kim Hyun Joong…PERFECT PERFECTIONIST



Image
By: LazerKim     The new born year had finally come, on New Year’s day we tend to make a list of resolutions on how we can change ourselves for the better. Kim Hyun Joong is no difference from us. In one of his interviews on a talk show he mentioned that people thinks and says Kim Hyun Joong is perfect, but he couldn’t accept that for himself. He said he’ll work harder to be worthy of his nickname Mr. Perfect given to him by some of his fans. But what is there to be changed in him?
Kim Hyun Joong is blessed with very good looks, multiple talents, excellent personality, a fashion icon  and blessed with a big heart specially to the needy. But he’s right nobody is perfect no matter what. He said he still lacks a lot in his ability that needs to work it out to improve. Knowing the guy is such a perfectionist he wouldn’t mind working night and day so as to give a perfect performance consistently. He said in his Taiwan interview, one aspirant should be the first to wake up and the last to sleep. Well, that’s obviously what’s he’s been doing whenever he hits the rehearsal hall.
Image
Change in a person doesn’t happen overnight even there’s a long list of New Year’s Resolution in front of you, as far as bad habit is concern. Ability needs strong determination to develop and I believe Hyun Joong has that kind of determination, patience, hard work and acceptance to its result.  Judging from his one on one interviews, he’s a type of person who loves challenges, an adventurer who loves to try anything new, a perfectionist who wouldn’t mind dancing and singing till dawn just to perfect his piece and he’s the type who rise up stronger whenever he stumbles down.
Hyun Joong came back stage stronger as a solo artist, resulting to remarkable popularity rocket high in a span of six months. There will be more challenges, more struggles and obstacles ahead of him this year 2012 but I believe he had already built a stronger courage and confidence to face his obstacles  head on. He doesn’t relax no matter what amount of awards he kept receiving, it served as an inspiration for him to keep going and spread his music.
Image
It’s only Hyun Joong who knows what changes he ought to be doing for himself in 2012. He’s practically holding his four aces, his fans are ever faithful to him which I admired so much. And may I say Hyun Joong gives them his 100% importance and I admire the relationship his fan network and himself  had created in or out of his country. Hyun Joong ended the year 2011 being in the company of his fans and starting the year 2012 will be a fan meeting which means he’s starting his year with the company of his fans.
While we were busy preparing for year end 2011, Hyun Joong had been busy preparing his storage of ideas for 2012.  But remember this guys, whenever he’s in a silent mode, he’s cooking something for you, but be patient, he’s a perfectionist, he won’t take the risk to go out there with flaws head to foot. As his interview with Guerrilla Date, he said there was a slight delay in launching his first album because he wants a perfect come back.
And so he did, history repeats itself, he’s very fond of giving big surprises to his fans. Do you still remember how you felt when he surprised you in his black short hair, muscled body built in black leather suit??   So I repeat, the guy has a big storage of ideas, if he’s not Mr. Perfect then he’s a perfect perfectionist to make sure you’ll be surprised enough to give you a heart attack in 2012!!!
This is how much he loves his fans!! Well, to prove him right, quite recently he surprised you by a kissing act with After School group, didn’t he?? Were you not surprised if not shock by that act?? It was all over the blogs the following morning, that I want to kill the girl at first sight!!! LOL.
Image
And so for 2012, there will be no new year’s resolution, because we already know Hyun Joong will just pop out from nowhere in his new image or if not it’s gonna be something you haven’t seen from him in the past. Base on history I can only assure you of one thing, he’ll give you a perfect shock!!
And with that, let’s support his ideas. He’ll not give a blind show just because he already had captured your interest, instead he’ll give you a higher dosage of it. He’ll make another noise for those who haven’t heard him call in 2011. Let’s be there with him because he’s doing it for us. What have we got to lose, in my experience knowing the guy lead me to a new frontier of learning from his story. In fact the longest drama I’ve ever watched is Kim Hyun Joong’s story.
The question now is not what is in store for Kim Hyun Joong this year because he already has it in his hands. But what is in store for us from Kim Hyun Joong this 2012.
Image
I trust Hyun Joong, no matter what change he does in his outlooks he’s still handsome, no matter what he does it’s cute. He had already proven himself that I’m not following him blindly.
For the new fans like me, give it a try to know more about him, you’ll find a lot of interesting facts about him and learn. You’ll laugh with him, you’ll sing with him and sometimes you’ll cry with him because this guy has a lot of deep sentiments in his heart that you’ll only find it out from his honest heart………Happy New Year!!!……..Happy Kim Hyun Joong year!!!

[article] Kim Hyun Joong…SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP



Image
By: LazerKim         You must have read this article as one of my first few ones which I have written in January 2012. Please take note that I am just re-posting this article since this had been misplaced from the WordPress, just for the record. There were five articles which had been misplace so I’m just putting everything in order.
We have met Kim Hyun Joong in a different episodes of his career. Some of you must have met him way back when he was still with his group SS501, some must have watched him first at the airing of Boys Over Flower or Playful Kiss, and some from the launching of Breakdown and Lucky Guy as his first two albums as solo performer. Which ever episode of his career that we first met him, each one of us has a story to tell on how we started to get crazy about Hyun Joong.
It’s so amazing to think of it, Hyun Joong and his fans has a strong bond that stick together no matter what, specially those who have met him during his SS501 days. Many of his fans network who had started as strangers to each other had build strong friendship because of Hyun Joong. And some may have started to dig for information on who Kim Hyun Joong really is in real life.
So how did you meet him? How was he able to capture your attention? Do you feel much closer to him after knowing more about him? Have you reached the point of being addicted to Hyun Joong that you wanted more from his music, drama or TV appearances? Do you seek for ways on how you’ll know more about him and while doing so the closer you get to him?
These are just but natural to be starstruck, let’s share our experiences about Hyun Joong and compare notes on how we started to go crazy about the guy. I’m sure we’re on the same boat but had embark on different ways.
Image
Do you remember the flower boy at Boy Over Flower Yoon Ji Hoo? You rarely see this boy’s image nowadays because he had already outgrown that image. I first saw Hyun Joong at Boys Over Flower, in fact I don’t even know his real name but I fell in love with the character of Yoon Ji Hoo, a very handsome rich high school boy who’s soft spoken, gentle, protective, withdrawn from the real world and lonely. Back then I was more interested on the plot of the drama rather than the actors.
After BOF the next thing I read about Hyun Joong was when he switched agent to KeyEast in 2010 owned by my first favorite Korean actor Bae Yong Joon. That was the only time I knew his name was Kim Hyun Joong and that his first project under KeyEast was Playful Kiss.
On my birthday few months ago as I was browsing You Tube I saw this photo……
Image
The caption says “Kim Hyun Joong Break Down”…….oh no this couldn’t be him!!!  I started watching the video of Breakdown but I still couldn’t believe my eyes as I watched this guy in black short hair, well developed muscle in black leather suit and dark glasses. I searched more videos of Breakdown and other latest videos of Hyun Joong from 7pm till the following morning at 7am straight up. I was burning with curiosity searching for that flower boy I have known from BOF and started asking myself what happen to him, where did that flower boy gone?
From that day onward I research on Hyun Joong’s history and background, I went over with all the videos I can find at You Tube, in short I was totally glued on him. Until such time I tried finding ways to get information about him further and I came to discover Twitter, Blogs in getting updates, news articles and fan’s post all about Hyun Joong. The You Tube and Hyunnies Pexer’s blog became my best friend as a way for me to connect with Hyun Joong.
Image
The days that I couldn’t get anything to read or watch became boring for me! I go over Hyun Joong’s TV appearances, talk shows, whatever I had in my file about him, I watched it over and over. Apparently I never get tired watching him specially his interviews which lead me to having personal knowledge about who Kim Hyun Joong really is.
How well now do I know Hyun Joong to fall for him like crazy? Well, Hyun Joong is blessed with perfect looks and he knows it but never brag about it, on the contrary in a talk show Night after Night he admitted he still envy other actors for being handsome. He humbly embrace his weak points and work hard to improve. He never pretend to be someone he’s not.
He seldom smile specially to strangers or being in strange place. He seem to be like an aristocratic snob but he can easily give in to the smile of others. He’s candidly honest about anything, he’s transparent and would like his fans to accept him for what he really is, good or bad, that’s him. His 4D personality is the most interesting trait that he has, and anything he does even his own mistakes looks cute on him!!
And among other artists, I think he’s the only one who constantly change his image from time to time, and when he does, as if you’re facing a totally different person. In short, he’s one unique individual that anything he wear suits him perfectly.
He has the power transform himself in just a glimpse. He has the power to let you listen to him, the power to make you laugh, to make you cry and to make you fall in love with him in his most simple way.
There were also Hyun Joong’s detractors or critics and every time I read harsh comments about him I felt hurt. Can’t help to think if I as a fan gets hurt reading harsh comments about him, what more would Hyun Joong feels? Although I have considered him to be professionally matured in the industry that he’s gone used to criticism but still he’s just but a human being who can also get hurt.
I admire Hyun Joong’s fans, who go after his critics and defend him in a calm, matured, rational approach. I don’t belong to any KHJ’s fan club but I’m proud of them and proud to be one behind the scene. Oh yes, I remember Hyun Joong guested at a talk show Lee Sora and she commented about KHJ’s fans to be well behave and well mannered, which I agree. The fans do cheer for Hyun Joong but they know their limitations and strictly follow. On my observation even the official KHJ fan blog they seem to be more approachable and responsive in a kind manner.
Image
Looking at the entire picture between Kim Hyun Joong and his fans seem to have mutual respect with each other. I believe Hyun Joong has a soft spot in his heart that belongs only to his fans. I can remember how Hyun Joong broke down to tears during his SS501 last few concerts as he thank his fans for their support. Then another event was when the group accepted an award during their starting days, he broke down to tears that he can hardly speak to thank their fans. And the recent event as solo was in June 7, 2011 when he read his letter to his fans. What he had gone through must be tough but his fans remained supportive as ever.
One statement was made by Lee Sora as his message to Kim Hyun Joong,  translated as
“There is a way when all that one hears and sees can be possible when all the strength are combined together. So I sincerely believe that everything Kim Hyun Joong works hard for will come true to the degree that your fans collectively give that force and strength to you”.
This message was so inspiring and apparently it came true, because from the time Hyun Joong released his first two mini albums, he had been receiving awards from here and there, his fans were all busy voting at the polls, his albums selling like hotcakes and anything he touches or work on turns to magic success.
Image
 Many of us has been a part of Hyun Joong’s struggle and success, and again what drove you to be at his side? The time he was made to be make a tough decision leaving his SS501 tag, you were at side sharing his tears of pain leaving his most precious friends.  The time he was on struggle for doing solo which was not an easy challenge, you were there to spare him strength. You willingly take a bullet of criticism from his detractors and patiently defend him so as not to hurt him.
You were there to support when the polls call for his votes, and all the time wherever he performs you’re there at the top of your voice cheering for him and when it’s time to harvest his awards you were there to cheer for his ultimate truimph.
As it became his and your struggle and success, it’s remarkably special relationship between Kim Hyun Joong and you, his fans. There will be another challenge Hyun Joong has to face this year 2012, will you still be there standing by his side?

[article] Kim Hyun Joong…MEMORIES 2011



Image
By: LazerKim          There were about six articles which I have written in 2011 which are not officially recorded in my file and this is one of those articles. For the record I would just like to re-post this which was written in December 31, 2011. Here’s the article way back:
From this hour on, we start our count down as the year 2011 slowly fades away to welcome the new born year. But before we bid farewell to 2011, let’s look back and reminisce the most unforgettable events that Kim Hyun Joong left our hearts for this year. Or maybe simple memories that will always remind us of Hyun Joong. What are those that sticks to our mind about him that makes us laugh, cry, or even hurt us one way or another being a fan? And for you, what are the most significant events transpired this year that you can never forget about Hyun Joong?
We only get to see KHJ on TV, videos though internet, and we only have known him though news updates, articles written by those who have personal experiences of watching his live concerts or live TV appearances and yet he’s close to our hearts, even we do not have any personal knowledge as to who he really is.
Kim Hyun Joong’s  popularity rating this year had risen remarkably, so I’m sure many of you out there had started following him this year. What made you glued your eyes to him??
Image
As for me, when I first saw him promoting his first solo album Breakdown as his come back stage project highlighted his singing career. I was star strucked by his transformation in black hair, well built muscle in black leather suit and his powerful charisma magnetized my whole system that until now I have not gone over with his Breakdown image even he had already changed to blonde, I still could not forget that flower boy who had turned to a real man, that shake the entire continent and dominated the billboards.   For me it was his best character ever.
Hyun Joong became my sole interest that taught me a lot of things that i have not experienced in the past. This year may be his best year as he stepped up as a solo artist proving himself in bringing out the best in him as a singer and dancer.
Image
I barely know Kim Hyun Joong, I know nothing about his behind the scene true self. I wasn’t even aware about his 4D personality until I came to watched him when he guested at Mnet MUST, The photo above was one of his turning nuts that every time I watched this video which is over a dozen times, I still laugh at it. He was actually describing himself if he gets drunk he sings crazy!! LOL he was so cute!!! I can’t imagine a very handsome gentleman would be this way whenever his 4D personality attacks!!! Gosh he’s really something!!!
Image
Then after throwing himself like crazy, at the same show, Hyun Joong sang a very beautiful ballad “Fortunate” (Dahaemida). I actually fell in love with this song, I can never forget how he sang this song filled with love and emotion, his voice coming from the depth of his soul had touched my heart that even I could not understand the song lyrics since it’s in Korean, but the melody and his voice gave me an unforgettable feeling of being loved. I do wish he would have another chance to sing it again next year. And he looked very handsome as he sang it, would make you fall head over heels in love with this guy.
Image
In another talk show “Guerrilla Date”, showed his candid honesty in a funny way but totally expressionless as if he was casually talking to a friend. The interview by host went like this:
Host: Did your agent paid your rehearsal fees and commercial modelling job?
KHJ: Yes
Host: Did you gave the money to your parents?
KHJ: No, I paid for my taxes, it was huge amount so I set money for it, now I’m broke!!
Host: You must be very close with your boss Bae Yong Joong, what do you usually talk about?
KHJ: We talk about history of his women, and laugh about it, the normal men’s conversation.
Host: Both you and Bae Yong Joon are batchelors, right? What can you say about it.
KHJ: It’s alright with me to be bachelor……because I’m still young ….but Bae Yong Joon Hyung should get married!!!
Host: What can you say about your fans?   Say something to them..
KHJ: I have many adult (noona) fans that would say “Hyun Joong ah I’m going to marry you” don’t say that.. if you meet a good man, then I hope hurry up and marry him!! What I feel good about noona fans if they come to my concerts when they’re pregnant……I just really like it…come with big bellies…and give shock to their babies!!!
The host couldn’t control his laughter, he was laughing the entire interview!!  I can’t forget this talk show, that sometimes out of nowhere it just pop out of my mind and start laughing by myself every time I get to remember this.
Image
The photo above was another funny talk show from Strong Heart, although it was televised sometime in 2009 which I have only watched recently, but it’s one of my most unforgettable. Hyun Joong here was talking about his high school days, when his teacher asked his class to compose a long poem of about three pages. KHJ was honest enough to say he’s not much interest about studies, but at least tried.
Anyway, he was thinking of how he can compose a poem, then he thought of using the lyrics of a song about mothers and he included the adlib part of the song that says yayaya that would make three pages long. And so he wrote the song lyrics instead and submitted it to his teacher. The song was about a mother who passed away that Hyun Joong was able to convinced his teacher that he actually wrote a true to life poem about Hyun Joong’s own mother.
After sometime he had forgotten about the poem, his teacher invited their class parents to come to school. And so he told his mother to come over, but his teacher whom he convinced that his mother had passed away thought that Hyun Joong brought his step mother. And because the poem was all a lie, Hyun Joong was badly punished by his teacher!!!
Image
This photo above was taken during a one on one interview with Lee Sora Second Proposal. Hyun Joong talks about his first love here and his lack of self expression or interaction with others. One thing I couldn’t forget in this interview was his message to his fans. As he stated and translated as
“I hope that I will always be the kind of person whom you will not be criticized for being my fan. But if you happen to meet another person will say I understand. Please believe in me and I will work hard”.
I will never forget  this message to his fans being truthful to his words, he worked hard to bring out the best in him, to be deserving of their love and support.
Image
This photo was taken on June 7, 2011, a day after Hyun Joong’s birthday, launch his first solo album Breakdown showcase attended by some 4,000 fans. In this photo Hyun Joong broke down to tears while reading his letter to his fans. This was the most memorable event for me about Hyun Joong, he was able to disclose what he felt during the time he was preparing for his solo album. He said he was scared to be doing this alone by himself, then he could only watch his fans having conflicts and that he couldn’t do anything and being helpless made him feel small. I was in tears while watching him read the letter but I admired his courage to humble himself in front of his fans. He’s such an amazing guy.
A press conference was held on the same day, and he stated that he worked harder to make better music to move away from the shadow of SS501. It wasn’t easy at all to fill up a big stage all by himself   the pressure was too much to bear but he was able to build his courage to surpass the challenges he had faced before he finally stepped up to his stage.
Image
From this time on till the year ends, anything that Kim Hyun Joong touches or work on any project turns in a magical success. He thank his fans by creating a memorable love song Marry Me in a digital single as his Christmas present before the year ends.
 Kim Hyun Joong has what it takes to be a superstar. He may not be the best singer or actor but he possess a certain power of charisma beyond comparable to any Kpop artist. People will always remember him for what he really is because he has never pretended to be someone else he’s not.
These are the memorable moments that for me will remain unforgettable about Hyun Joong. And lastly, knowing an artist like him is my most precious memory. This year I had a great time listening to his music everyday, I had a bunch of good laughs every time his 4D attacks, I had such fun seeing him dance and I shed tears with him in sadness and joy of his success.
To Hyun Joong, thanks for being you……Kim Hyun Joong.
