[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!
