[Article] Kim Hyun Joong - ULTIMATE FORCE by LazerKim

Credits  LazerKim



By LazerKim:            Kim Hyun Joong performed his Fan Meet Concert Finale in another huge success last night in Beijing. As expected the venue was full packed and his Chinese fans obviously enjoyed the night of fun as Hyun Joong performed on his last stage for this Asia Tour. He promised to come back next, and so sad it may be, his Chinese fans showing a passionate kind of admiration to Hyun Joong can look forward for next year’s concert. As for us here, well it was a month full of excitement that we get to hear from Hyun Joong almost every weekend. The photo below is Hyun Joong writing in Chinese character to thank his fans in China. Such a thoughtful guy as if writing to his lover to bid farewell!!
Sad it may be, since this June we may seldom see him again, because his next project shall be in Japan to release his album HEAT on 4th of July and shall be performing a free concert on the 14th and 15th at the Saitama Super Arena. While waiting for his next exposure, we fans have a task to do. And that is to focus our attention in voting for Hyun Joong at the Global Mnet, which had started a few days ago.
This voting polls shall be opened until the 27th of this month. Awards ceremony shall be on July, same month when Hyun Joong performed the unforgettable water splash as King of Pirates held in Sheraton Walker poolside. This time he will not perform since he is nominated for Global Star category.
Yesterday, the video clips of Hyun Joong’s fan meeting concert in Shanghai was already out and so I watched those video clips. Hyun Joong indeed had performed a fantastic show in Shanghai and as I watch his fans from Shanghai were truly passionate about their admiration to Hyun Joong. After watching I came across some video concerts of other idol groups like CN Blue, I think it was a concert in Japan, and then seeing from the video titles, like TVXQ, JYJ, 2ne1 and all of those videos were concerts abroad. I asked myself as to why are these groups not nominated for Global Mnet?? Aren’t they qualified for this match?
Many fans have been sharing with me their sentiments over this Mnet voting polls which I myself can’t help wondering as to why is Hyun Joong being competed with the idol groups again. I wrote this in one of my recent article, and from day one, my mind have been asking the same question over and over, why again? I have been trying to convince myself it’s because Hyun Joong doesn’t have a contender with the same category even I know from the start that this is totally mismatched.
Even Jang Geun Suk is there to compete with or maybe it should have been better if the two just compete with each other and have the idol groups on separate category. I was even wondering why these groups 2ne1, Wonder Girls, JYJ, TVXQ, CN Blue were not included in this voting these are the most qualified ones to compete with Super Junior, Beast, Girl’s Generation, and there are a lot more idol groups who have been actively performing abroad.
But having these thoughts in mind I will never give up without a fight till the end. I’m just wondering didn’t anyone in Korea noticed this mismatch? These are just my thoughts. Now that Hyun Joong had ended his fan meet in China I sure do hope his Chinese fans would give attention to voting. And this makes me even wonder his weibo followers is now over 400,000 fans I wouldn’t be looking for all the 400,000 but at least a hundred will do coming from weibo. I just feel something is wrong from somewhere. And yes a fan actually reminded me of Japanese fans too.
Although, on line voting is not the only criteria to win but it’s at 50% on line voting, 30% research and 20% special judging. Still Hyun Joong has to get at least more than a half of the high ranking position if not the first rank. Votes for Hyun Joong is still important.
Oh well, I can just do my very best and just keep voting as much as I could, encourage more fans to vote, disseminate information to the new fans about the existing Mnet voting polls on how to vote and post the Global Mnet link for convenience in voting. I’ll be keeping an eye monitoring the ranking which is driving me crazy!! I honestly do not know what’s up with weibo, but the highest votes are coming from China, only second to Korea. I just hope thing would change for the better after Hyun Joong activities in China.
I just remember, whenever I watch action movies, the hero of the movie is always the under dog, he gets all the pain, he’s given too much to challenge about, or being in  a difficult fight against all odds. But in the end of the movie the hero wins them all. What more can be sweeter than a gaining something out of hard work. What more can be relieving than a job well done in the end. And it’s a great joy to be working in a unified effort, facing a challenge with a good fight. It may be a difficult fight but if we’re doing it for the sake of love to Kim Hyun Joong, then nothing else would matter.
One of the fans at twitter posted a vote motivation and I quote “spare a little of your time to vote for Hyun Joong”.  Hyun Joong doesn’t need a little of your time, he needs a quality time for you to vote. If he works rehearsing 8 hours at the dance studio, 5 hours to the recording studio and 2 hours at the gym, how much time is it to bring out the best in himself to please you with the concert he performs? And how much time does take a day to vote for him? If I vote for a single ID that gives me less than 5min to accomplish my vote. Hyun Joong may not ask us verbally to support him in this voting polls because this activity is sole for the fans, none of the artists will campaign to support them.
This is the best time to support him, to put him on that stage to receive an award is not his but us our effort in putting him up the rank. As I have said this is a fight of David and Goliath, idol group vs. a soloist. We are Hyun Joong ‘s strength and I think poll voting is the most simple support that we can give him. No money involve, no need to travel and nothing that may push you to get away from your daily routine. Just a simple type and click, everyday until the 27th of this month and your done with this task of voting.
A unified effort among us fans, and working together hand in hand is what it takes to win as simple as that. Win or lose, we’re still winners because we shared the effort in working together for the love of Kim Hyun Joong. What more is sweeter than seeing Hyun Joong getting on that stage to claim what he righteously and deserving to be his as the Global Star. Today’s ranking may not be so good, but it even pushed me to be motivated by the challenge.
May I say this again, sharing is loving….. sharing effort, sharing time spent, and sharing our little prayer for Hyun Joong. I think this is everything that Hyun Joong needs coming from us in our own simple way of voting for him together as an Ultimate Force to win.
Kim Hyun Joong deserves to be up there, he is one artist deserving to be a Global Star.

[Info] Hyung Jun's 2nd Mini Album 'ESCAPE'


Credit: SPlus Entertainment + http://liezle.blogspot.com



ESCAPE is the title of the new mini album of Hyung Jun and it will consist of 5 tracks. There are two types of album to choose from. Compared to the 1st album, this album has more depth and emotion.

Here are the tracks for this album:

01 Intro
02 Sorry I’m Sorry (Title)
03 Just Let It Go
04 나쁜 남자라서
05 잘못 걸었어

On June 29, Friday, there will be a mini-concert and showcase that will be held at Gwangjang AX-KOREA

More details about the CD and showcase are out in SPlus Homepagebut they are still in hangul. I will be sharing the details later once I've seen someone share the other information so that fans can prepare for the album and the mini concert/showcase.

[News] Crying Internally with Heo Young-saeng




Heo Young-saeng, main vocalist of SS501, returns with his second mini-album,Solo. Heading the endeavor is title track, "Crying." In this song, it's easy to see why Young-saeng is a main vocalist: his voice is smooth and expressive, and it especially carries sorrowful sounds well. It's also strong and capable of sounding hollow at the same time, important for group dynamics and beneficial for a solo venture.
Whereas Young-saeng's solo debut track, "Let It Go," had an orchestral dance sound, "Crying" opts for a background track with lower pitches, allowing for the vocals to really stand out. But as good as the vocals are, this is a MV Review, so without further ado, let's get to it by first checking out the music video.
Popout
The music video begins with a dimmed view of the sun, which wonderfully compares the dimming felt in life when you're parting from a loved one, whether it's just breaking up a relationship or something more definite, such as death. It also directly relates to the first lines of the song: "'Cause I can't see you no more." For most of the song, it's unclear whether the main character suffers from heartbreak or grief. But a line here and there suggest heartbreak as his "scars remain," indicating some sort of pain. Throughout the MV, Young-saeng traverses through areas that hold memories for him and his loved one. Driving on the road perhaps could be taken as the character's movement backwards into memories as he still can't let go of she whom he has loved. From the car he goes down the road that brought him memories and the to the room where they may have stayed as there's still clothing there. Though it does seem rather barren, suggesting they've both moved away from there.
The cinematography was well done in the music video. The palette was kept to dark colors, mostly browns, blues, and purples with Young-saeng and his dancers sticking to a gray-scale for their clothing. The styling is also done to create looks that are chic and stylish, giving an overall pleasant look. Colors that often come off as bright, such as greenery or the color white in general, are muted and gray, as if a perpetual rain cloud followed Young-saeng wherever he went. It fits the feel of memories and sadness at parting with a loved one. Perhaps the scene best shot scene is the one on the street as Young-saeng and his awesome posse just waiting for him dance-walk down the sidewalk. The shots come from above, straight ahead, and the side, allowing for a really three-dimensional feel of the movements there. The only downside was that was most certainly not Garosut road, as the lyrics state. In fact, it was clearly near the intersection of Ashfield Avenue and Flaxton Street, as the road signs indicate in the background. You may recognize this as being close to the scene of the fire of FT Island's "Hello Hello."

The MV is mostly a dance performance, but there is clear effort to incorporate the storyline. Rather than having it entirely separate from the dance, the storyline and movement occurs with the dance. There's a progression: driving in the car, parking the car, walking down the street that has memories, and finally ending up in the room that is actually the first dance scene in the music video. At each location, except, of course, inside the car, there is dancing present. This steps up the video from having typical dance scenes inside those oddly-lit boxes–each location is part of the movement of the main character to each location. It documents his memories and development. The last scene is on a rooftop that is mostly dark with purple hues, but with a clear cityscape. The movement to that scene occurs after the word "tonight" in the lyrics in the previous room, which was a neat connection, but the scene itself didn't contribute much to the music video. It may have had more significance if there was a change in attitude present in the lyrics, but as they continue with the same chorus, the cityscape remains just a pretty view.
Regarding Young-saeng's acting, it seems that this man speaks more with his body movements than his facial expressions. He had mostly one facial expressions throughout the MV, but his hands and body had more emotion and expression put into them. Though, to be fair, some the places within the music video that were appropriate for intense facial emotion instead had his face too far away to be properly read, such as during his long note, or had his face turned away. But for a music video entitled "Crying," it does seem odd that there is no crying in this music video. Normally if you hear or read a title, you expect it to reflect what is in the content. MBLAQ's "Cry" featured members crying. Park Bom's "Don't Cry" had tears as well. So the only conclusion is that there is some sort of internal crying happening here. Maybe that's what prevents the facial expressions.
The dance was performed above average because of the delivery, but Young-saeng was sometimes off sync from the other dancers, apparent because of the synchronization of the backup dancers. Speaking of the dance itself, it took the title of the track to heart and incorporated actual movements from crying and mental anguish from sadness. There was a move that mimicked rubbing at one's eyes, which often happens during crying, but its rhythm matched that of the song. In addition there was a move where all the performers are facing the side, and one arm is moved horizontally at eye level. Right after, the other arm moves up to grab the hair and pull the head back. This imitates wiping tears away and grabbing one's head in pain or sadness. Moves that interpret the song's message move me, so I particularly enjoy pointing them out and giving credit for them.
The song, vocally, had good expression. And the performance was a bit above average. But the intellectual expression of the song was lacking. Speaking of the sorrow of breaking up with another and still having her memory is a common subject among K-pop songs. While there was determination near the end of the song of this being the final moment of sadness, that there would be no more pain, the rehash of the chorus with the same made it seem as if that wouldn't be possible, even leading to a darker idea that the main character really can't live without this other person. I didn't find that particularly stimulating or compelling, and the attempted plot wasn't interesting enough to achieve a high rating on the intellectual scale.
Overall, Heo Young-saeng's "Crying" gets a 3.5/5 from me. Its mix of dance and story was something I hadn't seen before (or had seen but wasn't memorable), and I enjoyed the dance and cinematography. While it could have been a better MV, perhaps introducing a parallel story or past memory to Young-saeng's movement to different locations, it was still above average.
Did Young-saeng's "Crying" make you weep for any reason: joy, sadness, indifference? Let us know in the comments!

[News] China fans swoon over Kim Hyun Joong’s exposed upper body

Pictures of Kim Hyun Joong’s exposed upper torso during his Shanghai performance has caused his fans from China to go faint with light-headedness.

Kim Hyun Joong had four concerts in China’s Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu for the first time.
While China’s photo press reported one picture of him, “A picture of Kim Hyun Joong’s muscular torso was taken as the highlight of the performance.  The fans were practically on the verge of fainting and were cheering non-stop”, describing the heated atmosphere during the performance.

In fact, it is not difficult to tell just how much heat Kim Hyun Joong’s performance was able to spice up from the photos taken from his performances. His performances indeed placed good emphasis in bringing out his manly and cute image, especially the sexy performances which apparently is not an easy sight to see locally.
Kim hyun Joong, dressed in a see-through black suit and performing so passionately, such that one of the buttons on his shirt came undone, revealing his upper body.

Kim Hyun Joong and his female dancers also performed a couple dance together on stage. Even though the shy and awkward expressions on his face could be easily observed, it was also clear that Kim Hyun Joong had put in his best to the performance. Especially when dancing, Kim hyun Joong is all over the stage, sweating heavily, with pictures of this side of Kim Hyun Joong heating up the atmosphere to even greater levels.

Earlier on the 6th, Kim Hyun Joong opened his official weibo account, setting a record with as many as 230,000 followers within 24 hours.

Beijing, chosen as the last stop of his fanmeeting tour in China, Korea.com is delighted to be able to cover this event.

Throughout the whole concert, Kim Hyun Joong thanked his fans profusely for their energetic supports and making his first Asia tour a memorable one for him. Kim Hyun Joong expressed that “it’s tiring to put up two concerts consecutively in two days, it’s very energy exhausting. However due to all the support I received from everyone here, I feel that I can even put up 3 or 4 concerts in a row.”. The arena was filled with fans screaming and cheerring when he said “If you feel happy when you watch me perform, then I will always be on this stage to perform for you.”.

 

 

 

Despite feeling tired, Kim Hyun Joong still worked his best and sincerely gave fans an enjoyable performance. He fully showcased his 4-dimensional characteristics and made everyone in the arena to burst into laughter with every word he said. During the interaction session, he playfully joked around with fans and randomly ate off M&Ms from cake ingredients meant for the lucky fan, leaving his idol image behind. Known for his great fan service, Kim Hyun Joong took Polaroids after making each cake and autographed each of them and generously gave out the earrings he wore for concert poster shooting to one of the lucky fans.

As the concert comes to an end, Kim Hyun Joong assured his fans that he will see everyone again next year for another concert, right now he will be working on his drama and will be back as actor for the next half of the year. Since it was the last stop of his asia fanmeeting tour, both Hyun Joong himself and fans were reluctant to let the concert end, but Hyun Joong told fans that this goodbye means the meeting in the future. However, nevertheless, many fans broke into tears as he exits the stage.

In the meanwhile, Kim Hyun Joong will be releasing Japanese single ‘Heat’ and will be acting in ‘City Of Conquest’ which will air in the next half of the year. Stay tuned to Korea.com for Kim Hyun Joong Beijing Fanmeeting video and thanks again to LivePlanet for the opportunity.

[MiniUFO Report] HyunJoong speech translation while making 3rd cake [2012.06.10]

 
Video source: http://iyuncai.com/u/4657?vid=26943
English translation: http://planethyun.blogspot.com
Please repost with full credit During cake making for 3rd fan. MC asked 3rd fan how to address her. She answered: ‘叫我容就可以了’ (Just call me ‘Rong’). HyunJoong mistaken that she is telling him her name in full. So he said ‘叫我容’. (Call me ‘Rong’) Everybody laugh hilariously. The he said Annyeong haseyo Rong.
HyunJoong said her name sounds long when he heard but in actual it is just so short. The fan said she fear that if it is too long, he would not know how to call her. Her full name is Gu Yu Rong.
HyunJoong: What type of ingredient do you wish to get?
Fan: Must be some weird ingredients.
HyunJoong: it might not be weird.
Fan: It will be great if it is not weird.
HyunJoong: Lets take a look and see whether the ingredients are weird or not?
He revealed the ingredients and it is spring roll & Peking Duck.
HyunJoong: Do you like Peking Duck?
Fan: I prefer Nanjing Salted Duck
HyunJoong: Oh. is it?
Fan: But I also like Peking Duck.
HyunJoong: So I also Peking… But to me this ingredient is also not suitable.
MC: You can choose to use these ingredients that you used previously.
HyunJoong: The reason why I didn’t using Peking duck although I am in Beijing today is because I think cake and Peking duck doesn’t match. I think I will use the previous ingredients to make a cake for you.
HyunJoong started to make ‘poison’ cake 3.
After made finished, HyunJoong: is it pretty or not?
Fan: It is pretty.
HyunJoong: Have you seen the poster of Asia FanMeeting before coming in?
Fan: Yes.
HyunJoong: Since the Asia Tour is going to end, so the ear rings that I wore in the poster has no more use again.
Show the ear ring which he wore in the poster.
HyunJoong: This is the ear ring which I wore in the poster.
HyunJoong put ear ring box on the cake. Screams of jealousy from fans.
MC: You are really very lucky, previously all the lucky fans get a ring, but you get a pair of ear rings. How do you feel now?
Fan: Very excited.
MC: But you looked very calm.
HyunJoong: I will take a Polaroid later, the colour of the ring and the cake is similar, please be careful not to eat it accidentally.
MC: Let you have a chance. If you have a chance to talk to HyunJoong, what do you want to tell him most?
Fan: I want to ask whether did you received the skull drinking cup which I give you on Friday.
MC: Oh, so you went to the Shanghai FM.
Fan: Yes.
HyunJoong: All the present will be packed and brought back to Korea. I will check on it when I am back to Korea. I will not lie that I have seen it even thou I have not check on it yet. But I believed that I have received the present and when returning to Korea I will definitely check on it.
HyunJoong: Today is the last FM, the 2nd person has a autograph photo, and the 3rd person he gave a pair of ear rings, and I think the 1st person cake is too simple, I think I want to sign for her. May I know what is your name?
Fan’s name is Liu Si Tong.
HyunJoong wrote in English because MC spell it for him.

[News] Heo Young Saeng “Sold the car because of fear for drink-driving”


Source: Newsen
English Translation: Honeyeee @ LOVE501.com

With an indifferent expression, as though it is not of any significance, he spills his thoughts into words honestly and openly. At first glance at Heo Young Saeng may seem icy, after knowing him you’ll find a toughen and deep young man who have spend an full 7 years in the entertainment industry. Even within the short interview about cars, his deep thoughts were revealed.

“What has been your desire or what do you wish to buy recently?” To which, Heo Young Saeng did not reply immediately but pondered over it for a while. Then he said “Car?”. Cars are usually what men who started working would first buy or wishes to buy. Having the thoughts about buying a car yet do not have one is surprising.


Heo Young Saeng said “Drove a kind of car called the bumper car in the past. Others also drove around in it. Honestly I don’t particularly like driving. I bought a car but last year I had my hand injured so I couldn’t drive. Hence I had it sold”

He explained later “I was injured and also got busy so all the more I couldn’t drive my car around. I too did not like to travel too far. When I go for exercise, I tag along with the Hyungs to go drinking and when I have to drink, I will call for a chauffeur so its alright. Therefore I don’t really need to have a car.”

Heo Young Saeng expressed “What worries me most is when I drink. Usually I will take a taxi there, but there are times when I drive too. If I had too much to drink, I’d rather not have the problem about having to drive carelessly. I may not have good judgement (when driving) and will not be able to drive well. Fear that I will have to drive like that.” He continued “It wasn’t a need so I had it sold, but because I didn’t have it, I wanted it.”

Meanwhile, Heo Young Saeng has recently released his second album ‘SOLO’ with title song ‘Crying’ and resumes his activities as a singer after a year. ‘Crying’ features the come back of a weak man who has experienced the tears and pains due to a separation from his love. Compared to the existing stage, his emotional appeal is even more remarkable.

[Trans] Interview - My Heart Is Indifferent... Heo Young Saeng Hurts In Love

Chinese Trans: ForeverYS
Eng Trans: cllslam10@StylishHYS

After a lapse of a year the release of his solo album "SOLO", showing realistic experience in his title track "CRYING", different variations in singing, filling up this album. 

After a lapse of a year releasing his 1st solo album "LET IT GO", time unknowingly pass by, venturing out solo from the idol group SS501, there are endless exploring of his personal style, from musical, drama etc, wanting to challenge different variety of areas, accumulating different experience. Now returning back to the familiarity of a "Solo Singer". Thus the 2nd ablum is titled "SOLO" in such a way. Heo Young Saeng is back with his 2nd mini album"SOLO"

Previously he thought of using this as a theme. Regarding love, he did not really know much, but still he wants to talk about this story in his "SOLO" album. Thus the songs in his "SOLO"album are mostly about separation. Of course this also includes the positive meaning of him coming out from a group to having individual activities.  

Unlike most albums in general, he really puts in a lot of effort into this album. The concept of the album, planning etc all the production he is also involved in, from the collections of the album song, composing, recording, there is nothing that he is not involved in. Thus his nameas the co-producer has appear in the album.

"Truthfully, I did participate in the production for my last album. But, my proposal and views for the title track was not being chosen. For this current album I participated in the lyrics composition for the title track."

Title track "Crying" is a mid-tempo R&B song, which tells the inner feelings of a guy who has left. It reflect Heo Young Saeng's experience.

"I totally couldnt come out with the lyrics if I entirely using my imagination. Although I am not in a relationship now, but I was hurt badly before. I used my true feeling to go near the girl who knows my heart yet she make used/fun of me. I suffered a huge trauma after knowing it."

This album is to reflect this objective tendency. Other than the title track "Crying" the other 3 songs are also added with rock elements. Especially the competitor for the title track between "Crying" and "Intimidated", the latter has a more prominent of the powerful melody of the electric guitarand and a strong back singers which you can get a glimpse of.

"Orginally I wanna make a fusion of rock and pop music style. But, after listening to the moving melody of "Crying" at the same time, the title track thus beame an R&B song. Every song has many different method of singing, even though there is no way for this album to be according to the original intent, although there is only 1 singer in this album, but it gives a feel that there are many singers in this album."

The schedules for his album activities are very hectic and tight. KBS2TV daily sitcom "Sent From Heaven" filming is still continuing, the release for his Jap album in September and his 1st solo concert is on-going on planning stage. He has already began to put in the recording operations, revealing that the concert will be like a band concept. But, unfortunately due to all this, he has to missed to particpate in the musical "JACK THE RIPPER"

"I wanna try what my sunbaes has said the role of a person with split personality, 'JACK THE RIPPER' to me may be a huge help but I have to forgo it. I realised that while acting, I will be learning new things at the same time, which I am very happy to be progressing. This is also the 1st time which I have this kind of feeling, I think that I will be more serious in the future to do all these."

This time he hides his face...

During his last mini album, he used sunglasses to hide his face. This time round, he used part of his fringe to hide 1 of his eyes. On 1st look at the album packaging photos wondering why he wants to hide his face. 

"I will often take note of my facial expressions. If gonna exposed my face, I have to put in more effort in my facial expressions. In order to lessen the effort on that area, I decide to hide part of my face, and to change my hairstyle during the promotional activities. The concept is to show stylish man with clothing and hairstyle all combine into one, not rigidly but showing different kind of images. Thus the cover and MV will cover them up."

[Article] Kim Hyun Joong - ULTIMATE FORCE by LazerKim

Credits  LazerKim



By LazerKim:            Kim Hyun Joong performed his Fan Meet Concert Finale in another huge success last night in Beijing. As expected the venue was full packed and his Chinese fans obviously enjoyed the night of fun as Hyun Joong performed on his last stage for this Asia Tour. He promised to come back next, and so sad it may be, his Chinese fans showing a passionate kind of admiration to Hyun Joong can look forward for next year’s concert. As for us here, well it was a month full of excitement that we get to hear from Hyun Joong almost every weekend. The photo below is Hyun Joong writing in Chinese character to thank his fans in China. Such a thoughtful guy as if writing to his lover to bid farewell!!
Sad it may be, since this June we may seldom see him again, because his next project shall be in Japan to release his album HEAT on 4th of July and shall be performing a free concert on the 14th and 15th at the Saitama Super Arena. While waiting for his next exposure, we fans have a task to do. And that is to focus our attention in voting for Hyun Joong at the Global Mnet, which had started a few days ago.
This voting polls shall be opened until the 27th of this month. Awards ceremony shall be on July, same month when Hyun Joong performed the unforgettable water splash as King of Pirates held in Sheraton Walker poolside. This time he will not perform since he is nominated for Global Star category.
Yesterday, the video clips of Hyun Joong’s fan meeting concert in Shanghai was already out and so I watched those video clips. Hyun Joong indeed had performed a fantastic show in Shanghai and as I watch his fans from Shanghai were truly passionate about their admiration to Hyun Joong. After watching I came across some video concerts of other idol groups like CN Blue, I think it was a concert in Japan, and then seeing from the video titles, like TVXQ, JYJ, 2ne1 and all of those videos were concerts abroad. I asked myself as to why are these groups not nominated for Global Mnet?? Aren’t they qualified for this match?
Many fans have been sharing with me their sentiments over this Mnet voting polls which I myself can’t help wondering as to why is Hyun Joong being competed with the idol groups again. I wrote this in one of my recent article, and from day one, my mind have been asking the same question over and over, why again? I have been trying to convince myself it’s because Hyun Joong doesn’t have a contender with the same category even I know from the start that this is totally mismatched.
Even Jang Geun Suk is there to compete with or maybe it should have been better if the two just compete with each other and have the idol groups on separate category. I was even wondering why these groups 2ne1, Wonder Girls, JYJ, TVXQ, CN Blue were not included in this voting these are the most qualified ones to compete with Super Junior, Beast, Girl’s Generation, and there are a lot more idol groups who have been actively performing abroad.
But having these thoughts in mind I will never give up without a fight till the end. I’m just wondering didn’t anyone in Korea noticed this mismatch? These are just my thoughts. Now that Hyun Joong had ended his fan meet in China I sure do hope his Chinese fans would give attention to voting. And this makes me even wonder his weibo followers is now over 400,000 fans I wouldn’t be looking for all the 400,000 but at least a hundred will do coming from weibo. I just feel something is wrong from somewhere. And yes a fan actually reminded me of Japanese fans too.
Although, on line voting is not the only criteria to win but it’s at 50% on line voting, 30% research and 20% special judging. Still Hyun Joong has to get at least more than a half of the high ranking position if not the first rank. Votes for Hyun Joong is still important.
Oh well, I can just do my very best and just keep voting as much as I could, encourage more fans to vote, disseminate information to the new fans about the existing Mnet voting polls on how to vote and post the Global Mnet link for convenience in voting. I’ll be keeping an eye monitoring the ranking which is driving me crazy!! I honestly do not know what’s up with weibo, but the highest votes are coming from China, only second to Korea. I just hope thing would change for the better after Hyun Joong activities in China.
I just remember, whenever I watch action movies, the hero of the movie is always the under dog, he gets all the pain, he’s given too much to challenge about, or being in  a difficult fight against all odds. But in the end of the movie the hero wins them all. What more can be sweeter than a gaining something out of hard work. What more can be relieving than a job well done in the end. And it’s a great joy to be working in a unified effort, facing a challenge with a good fight. It may be a difficult fight but if we’re doing it for the sake of love to Kim Hyun Joong, then nothing else would matter.
One of the fans at twitter posted a vote motivation and I quote “spare a little of your time to vote for Hyun Joong”.  Hyun Joong doesn’t need a little of your time, he needs a quality time for you to vote. If he works rehearsing 8 hours at the dance studio, 5 hours to the recording studio and 2 hours at the gym, how much time is it to bring out the best in himself to please you with the concert he performs? And how much time does take a day to vote for him? If I vote for a single ID that gives me less than 5min to accomplish my vote. Hyun Joong may not ask us verbally to support him in this voting polls because this activity is sole for the fans, none of the artists will campaign to support them.
This is the best time to support him, to put him on that stage to receive an award is not his but us our effort in putting him up the rank. As I have said this is a fight of David and Goliath, idol group vs. a soloist. We are Hyun Joong ‘s strength and I think poll voting is the most simple support that we can give him. No money involve, no need to travel and nothing that may push you to get away from your daily routine. Just a simple type and click, everyday until the 27th of this month and your done with this task of voting.
A unified effort among us fans, and working together hand in hand is what it takes to win as simple as that. Win or lose, we’re still winners because we shared the effort in working together for the love of Kim Hyun Joong. What more is sweeter than seeing Hyun Joong getting on that stage to claim what he righteously and deserving to be his as the Global Star. Today’s ranking may not be so good, but it even pushed me to be motivated by the challenge.
May I say this again, sharing is loving….. sharing effort, sharing time spent, and sharing our little prayer for Hyun Joong. I think this is everything that Hyun Joong needs coming from us in our own simple way of voting for him together as an Ultimate Force to win.
Kim Hyun Joong deserves to be up there, he is one artist deserving to be a Global Star.

[News] Crying Internally with Heo Young-saeng




Heo Young-saeng, main vocalist of SS501, returns with his second mini-album,Solo. Heading the endeavor is title track, "Crying." In this song, it's easy to see why Young-saeng is a main vocalist: his voice is smooth and expressive, and it especially carries sorrowful sounds well. It's also strong and capable of sounding hollow at the same time, important for group dynamics and beneficial for a solo venture.
Whereas Young-saeng's solo debut track, "Let It Go," had an orchestral dance sound, "Crying" opts for a background track with lower pitches, allowing for the vocals to really stand out. But as good as the vocals are, this is a MV Review, so without further ado, let's get to it by first checking out the music video.
Popout
The music video begins with a dimmed view of the sun, which wonderfully compares the dimming felt in life when you're parting from a loved one, whether it's just breaking up a relationship or something more definite, such as death. It also directly relates to the first lines of the song: "'Cause I can't see you no more." For most of the song, it's unclear whether the main character suffers from heartbreak or grief. But a line here and there suggest heartbreak as his "scars remain," indicating some sort of pain. Throughout the MV, Young-saeng traverses through areas that hold memories for him and his loved one. Driving on the road perhaps could be taken as the character's movement backwards into memories as he still can't let go of she whom he has loved. From the car he goes down the road that brought him memories and the to the room where they may have stayed as there's still clothing there. Though it does seem rather barren, suggesting they've both moved away from there.
The cinematography was well done in the music video. The palette was kept to dark colors, mostly browns, blues, and purples with Young-saeng and his dancers sticking to a gray-scale for their clothing. The styling is also done to create looks that are chic and stylish, giving an overall pleasant look. Colors that often come off as bright, such as greenery or the color white in general, are muted and gray, as if a perpetual rain cloud followed Young-saeng wherever he went. It fits the feel of memories and sadness at parting with a loved one. Perhaps the scene best shot scene is the one on the street as Young-saeng and his awesome posse just waiting for him dance-walk down the sidewalk. The shots come from above, straight ahead, and the side, allowing for a really three-dimensional feel of the movements there. The only downside was that was most certainly not Garosut road, as the lyrics state. In fact, it was clearly near the intersection of Ashfield Avenue and Flaxton Street, as the road signs indicate in the background. You may recognize this as being close to the scene of the fire of FT Island's "Hello Hello."

The MV is mostly a dance performance, but there is clear effort to incorporate the storyline. Rather than having it entirely separate from the dance, the storyline and movement occurs with the dance. There's a progression: driving in the car, parking the car, walking down the street that has memories, and finally ending up in the room that is actually the first dance scene in the music video. At each location, except, of course, inside the car, there is dancing present. This steps up the video from having typical dance scenes inside those oddly-lit boxes–each location is part of the movement of the main character to each location. It documents his memories and development. The last scene is on a rooftop that is mostly dark with purple hues, but with a clear cityscape. The movement to that scene occurs after the word "tonight" in the lyrics in the previous room, which was a neat connection, but the scene itself didn't contribute much to the music video. It may have had more significance if there was a change in attitude present in the lyrics, but as they continue with the same chorus, the cityscape remains just a pretty view.
Regarding Young-saeng's acting, it seems that this man speaks more with his body movements than his facial expressions. He had mostly one facial expressions throughout the MV, but his hands and body had more emotion and expression put into them. Though, to be fair, some the places within the music video that were appropriate for intense facial emotion instead had his face too far away to be properly read, such as during his long note, or had his face turned away. But for a music video entitled "Crying," it does seem odd that there is no crying in this music video. Normally if you hear or read a title, you expect it to reflect what is in the content. MBLAQ's "Cry" featured members crying. Park Bom's "Don't Cry" had tears as well. So the only conclusion is that there is some sort of internal crying happening here. Maybe that's what prevents the facial expressions.
The dance was performed above average because of the delivery, but Young-saeng was sometimes off sync from the other dancers, apparent because of the synchronization of the backup dancers. Speaking of the dance itself, it took the title of the track to heart and incorporated actual movements from crying and mental anguish from sadness. There was a move that mimicked rubbing at one's eyes, which often happens during crying, but its rhythm matched that of the song. In addition there was a move where all the performers are facing the side, and one arm is moved horizontally at eye level. Right after, the other arm moves up to grab the hair and pull the head back. This imitates wiping tears away and grabbing one's head in pain or sadness. Moves that interpret the song's message move me, so I particularly enjoy pointing them out and giving credit for them.
The song, vocally, had good expression. And the performance was a bit above average. But the intellectual expression of the song was lacking. Speaking of the sorrow of breaking up with another and still having her memory is a common subject among K-pop songs. While there was determination near the end of the song of this being the final moment of sadness, that there would be no more pain, the rehash of the chorus with the same made it seem as if that wouldn't be possible, even leading to a darker idea that the main character really can't live without this other person. I didn't find that particularly stimulating or compelling, and the attempted plot wasn't interesting enough to achieve a high rating on the intellectual scale.
Overall, Heo Young-saeng's "Crying" gets a 3.5/5 from me. Its mix of dance and story was something I hadn't seen before (or had seen but wasn't memorable), and I enjoyed the dance and cinematography. While it could have been a better MV, perhaps introducing a parallel story or past memory to Young-saeng's movement to different locations, it was still above average.
Did Young-saeng's "Crying" make you weep for any reason: joy, sadness, indifference? Let us know in the comments!

[News] China fans swoon over Kim Hyun Joong’s exposed upper body

Translator: Wonderrrgirl



Pictures of Kim Hyun Joong’s exposed upper torso during his Shanghai performance has caused his fans from China to go faint with light-headedness.

Kim Hyun Joong had four concerts in China’s Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu for the first time.
While China’s photo press reported one picture of him, “A picture of Kim Hyun Joong’s muscular torso was taken as the highlight of the performance.  The fans were practically on the verge of fainting and were cheering non-stop”, describing the heated atmosphere during the performance.

In fact, it is not difficult to tell just how much heat Kim Hyun Joong’s performance was able to spice up from the photos taken from his performances. His performances indeed placed good emphasis in bringing out his manly and cute image, especially the sexy performances which apparently is not an easy sight to see locally.
Kim hyun Joong, dressed in a see-through black suit and performing so passionately, such that one of the buttons on his shirt came undone, revealing his upper body.

Kim Hyun Joong and his female dancers also performed a couple dance together on stage. Even though the shy and awkward expressions on his face could be easily observed, it was also clear that Kim Hyun Joong had put in his best to the performance. Especially when dancing, Kim hyun Joong is all over the stage, sweating heavily, with pictures of this side of Kim Hyun Joong heating up the atmosphere to even greater levels.

Earlier on the 6th, Kim Hyun Joong opened his official weibo account, setting a record with as many as 230,000 followers within 24 hours.

Throughout the whole concert, Kim Hyun Joong thanked his fans profusely for their energetic supports and making his first Asia tour a memorable one for him. Kim Hyun Joong expressed that “it’s tiring to put up two concerts consecutively in two days, it’s very energy exhausting. However due to all the support I received from everyone here, I feel that I can even put up 3 or 4 concerts in a row.”. The arena was filled with fans screaming and cheerring when he said “If you feel happy when you watch me perform, then I will always be on this stage to perform for you.”.

 

 

 

Despite feeling tired, Kim Hyun Joong still worked his best and sincerely gave fans an enjoyable performance. He fully showcased his 4-dimensional characteristics and made everyone in the arena to burst into laughter with every word he said. During the interaction session, he playfully joked around with fans and randomly ate off M&Ms from cake ingredients meant for the lucky fan, leaving his idol image behind. Known for his great fan service, Kim Hyun Joong took Polaroids after making each cake and autographed each of them and generously gave out the earrings he wore for concert poster shooting to one of the lucky fans.

As the concert comes to an end, Kim Hyun Joong assured his fans that he will see everyone again next year for another concert, right now he will be working on his drama and will be back as actor for the next half of the year. Since it was the last stop of his asia fanmeeting tour, both Hyun Joong himself and fans were reluctant to let the concert end, but Hyun Joong told fans that this goodbye means the meeting in the future. However, nevertheless, many fans broke into tears as he exits the stage.

In the meanwhile, Kim Hyun Joong will be releasing Japanese single ‘Heat’ and will be acting in ‘City Of Conquest’ which will air in the next half of the year. Stay tuned to Korea.com for Kim Hyun Joong Beijing Fanmeeting video and thanks again to LivePlanet for the opportunity.

English translation: http://planethyun.blogspot.com
Please repost with full credit During cake making for 3rd fan. MC asked 3rd fan how to address her. She answered: ‘叫我容就可以了’ (Just call me ‘Rong’). HyunJoong mistaken that she is telling him her name in full. So he said ‘叫我容’. (Call me ‘Rong’) Everybody laugh hilariously. The he said Annyeong haseyo Rong.
HyunJoong said her name sounds long when he heard but in actual it is just so short. The fan said she fear that if it is too long, he would not know how to call her. Her full name is Gu Yu Rong.
HyunJoong: What type of ingredient do you wish to get?
Fan: Must be some weird ingredients.
HyunJoong: it might not be weird.
Fan: It will be great if it is not weird.
HyunJoong: Lets take a look and see whether the ingredients are weird or not?
He revealed the ingredients and it is spring roll & Peking Duck.
HyunJoong: Do you like Peking Duck?
Fan: I prefer Nanjing Salted Duck
HyunJoong: Oh. is it?
Fan: But I also like Peking Duck.
HyunJoong: So I also Peking… But to me this ingredient is also not suitable.
MC: You can choose to use these ingredients that you used previously.
HyunJoong: The reason why I didn’t using Peking duck although I am in Beijing today is because I think cake and Peking duck doesn’t match. I think I will use the previous ingredients to make a cake for you.
HyunJoong started to make ‘poison’ cake 3.
After made finished, HyunJoong: is it pretty or not?
Fan: It is pretty.
HyunJoong: Have you seen the poster of Asia FanMeeting before coming in?
Fan: Yes.
HyunJoong: Since the Asia Tour is going to end, so the ear rings that I wore in the poster has no more use again.
Show the ear ring which he wore in the poster.
HyunJoong: This is the ear ring which I wore in the poster.
HyunJoong put ear ring box on the cake. Screams of jealousy from fans.
MC: You are really very lucky, previously all the lucky fans get a ring, but you get a pair of ear rings. How do you feel now?
Fan: Very excited.
MC: But you looked very calm.
HyunJoong: I will take a Polaroid later, the colour of the ring and the cake is similar, please be careful not to eat it accidentally.
MC: Let you have a chance. If you have a chance to talk to HyunJoong, what do you want to tell him most?
Fan: I want to ask whether did you received the skull drinking cup which I give you on Friday.
MC: Oh, so you went to the Shanghai FM.
Fan: Yes.
HyunJoong: All the present will be packed and brought back to Korea. I will check on it when I am back to Korea. I will not lie that I have seen it even thou I have not check on it yet. But I believed that I have received the present and when returning to Korea I will definitely check on it.
HyunJoong: Today is the last FM, the 2nd person has a autograph photo, and the 3rd person he gave a pair of ear rings, and I think the 1st person cake is too simple, I think I want to sign for her. May I know what is your name?
Fan’s name is Liu Si Tong.

[News] Heo Young Saeng “Sold the car because of fear for drink-driving”


Source: Newsen
English Translation: Honeyeee @ LOVE501.com

With an indifferent expression, as though it is not of any significance, he spills his thoughts into words honestly and openly. At first glance at Heo Young Saeng may seem icy, after knowing him you’ll find a toughen and deep young man who have spend an full 7 years in the entertainment industry. Even within the short interview about cars, his deep thoughts were revealed.

“What has been your desire or what do you wish to buy recently?” To which, Heo Young Saeng did not reply immediately but pondered over it for a while. Then he said “Car?”. Cars are usually what men who started working would first buy or wishes to buy. Having the thoughts about buying a car yet do not have one is surprising.


Heo Young Saeng said “Drove a kind of car called the bumper car in the past. Others also drove around in it. Honestly I don’t particularly like driving. I bought a car but last year I had my hand injured so I couldn’t drive. Hence I had it sold”

He explained later “I was injured and also got busy so all the more I couldn’t drive my car around. I too did not like to travel too far. When I go for exercise, I tag along with the Hyungs to go drinking and when I have to drink, I will call for a chauffeur so its alright. Therefore I don’t really need to have a car.”

Heo Young Saeng expressed “What worries me most is when I drink. Usually I will take a taxi there, but there are times when I drive too. If I had too much to drink, I’d rather not have the problem about having to drive carelessly. I may not have good judgement (when driving) and will not be able to drive well. Fear that I will have to drive like that.” He continued “It wasn’t a need so I had it sold, but because I didn’t have it, I wanted it.”

Meanwhile, Heo Young Saeng has recently released his second album ‘SOLO’ with title song ‘Crying’ and resumes his activities as a singer after a year. ‘Crying’ features the come back of a weak man who has experienced the tears and pains due to a separation from his love. Compared to the existing stage, his emotional appeal is even more remarkable.

[Trans] Interview - My Heart Is Indifferent... Heo Young Saeng Hurts In Love


Source: fnn.co.kr
Chinese Trans: ForeverYS
Eng Trans: cllslam10@StylishHYS

After a lapse of a year the release of his solo album "SOLO", showing realistic experience in his title track "CRYING", different variations in singing, filling up this album. 

After a lapse of a year releasing his 1st solo album "LET IT GO", time unknowingly pass by, venturing out solo from the idol group SS501, there are endless exploring of his personal style, from musical, drama etc, wanting to challenge different variety of areas, accumulating different experience. Now returning back to the familiarity of a "Solo Singer". Thus the 2nd ablum is titled "SOLO" in such a way. Heo Young Saeng is back with his 2nd mini album"SOLO"

Previously he thought of using this as a theme. Regarding love, he did not really know much, but still he wants to talk about this story in his "SOLO" album. Thus the songs in his "SOLO"album are mostly about separation. Of course this also includes the positive meaning of him coming out from a group to having individual activities.  

Unlike most albums in general, he really puts in a lot of effort into this album. The concept of the album, planning etc all the production he is also involved in, from the collections of the album song, composing, recording, there is nothing that he is not involved in. Thus his nameas the co-producer has appear in the album.

"Truthfully, I did participate in the production for my last album. But, my proposal and views for the title track was not being chosen. For this current album I participated in the lyrics composition for the title track."

Title track "Crying" is a mid-tempo R&B song, which tells the inner feelings of a guy who has left. It reflect Heo Young Saeng's experience.

"I totally couldnt come out with the lyrics if I entirely using my imagination. Although I am not in a relationship now, but I was hurt badly before. I used my true feeling to go near the girl who knows my heart yet she make used/fun of me. I suffered a huge trauma after knowing it."

This album is to reflect this objective tendency. Other than the title track "Crying" the other 3 songs are also added with rock elements. Especially the competitor for the title track between "Crying" and "Intimidated", the latter has a more prominent of the powerful melody of the electric guitarand and a strong back singers which you can get a glimpse of.

"Orginally I wanna make a fusion of rock and pop music style. But, after listening to the moving melody of "Crying" at the same time, the title track thus beame an R&B song. Every song has many different method of singing, even though there is no way for this album to be according to the original intent, although there is only 1 singer in this album, but it gives a feel that there are many singers in this album."

The schedules for his album activities are very hectic and tight. KBS2TV daily sitcom "Sent From Heaven" filming is still continuing, the release for his Jap album in September and his 1st solo concert is on-going on planning stage. He has already began to put in the recording operations, revealing that the concert will be like a band concept. But, unfortunately due to all this, he has to missed to particpate in the musical "JACK THE RIPPER"

"I wanna try what my sunbaes has said the role of a person with split personality, 'JACK THE RIPPER' to me may be a huge help but I have to forgo it. I realised that while acting, I will be learning new things at the same time, which I am very happy to be progressing. This is also the 1st time which I have this kind of feeling, I think that I will be more serious in the future to do all these."

This time he hides his face...

During his last mini album, he used sunglasses to hide his face. This time round, he used part of his fringe to hide 1 of his eyes. On 1st look at the album packaging photos wondering why he wants to hide his face. 

"I will often take note of my facial expressions. If gonna exposed my face, I have to put in more effort in my facial expressions. In order to lessen the effort on that area, I decide to hide part of my face, and to change my hairstyle during the promotional activities. The concept is to show stylish man with clothing and hairstyle all combine into one, not rigidly but showing different kind of images. Thus the cover and MV will cover them up."
