Kim Hyun Joong talks about Bae Yong Joon

From the KHJ’s interview in the magazine, Women Joongang October issue.

There was a rumor that Kim Hyun Joong made a remarkable improvement in popularity because of his leading role in the band SS501 and his previous drama “Boys over Flowers” both moved into the entertainment industry in Japan. That rumor turned out to be true. Recently, he made an exclusive contract with ‘Keyeast’ which is operated by Bae Yong Joon, and it’s said that he is getting more gifts in Keyeast than Yonsama. It’s the first time since the company was founded that Bae Yong Joon was not the leading receiver of gifts. However, Bae Yong Joon is happy that he was able to sign Kim Hyun Joong.



“Yong Joon hyeong (suehan: big brother) and I often chat about relationships with women while having drinks.”


Kim Hyun Joong was selected as the next generation Hallyu star since he became popular in the Asian market, including Japan. And then, the original Hallyu star Bae Yong Joon picked him around the time when his contract with his previous agency was about to expire sometime last June. He became Yonsama’s man. He considers Yonsama as his role model. I was wondering how he thinks about the president, Bae Yong Joon. He called Bae Yong Joon as 
“Yong Joon hyeong” without hesitation when he was asked about their relationship.
“Frankly I was nervous when I met him the first time. His power and status was so strong when he got out of his car. I thought I was looking at the demigods like the King or Zeus. He isn’t a type of person who goes around puffed up or shows off, but I might have felt intimidated by his name “Yonsama”. After we exchanged a few words, I realized that “Ah.. He is a human being like me”. Now I think of him as a brother in the neighborhood.”

Bae Yong Joon makes a mythical impression like he doesn’t get along with people or he refrains himself from the outside world. But it’s said that he is just not noticed. He is a busy bee and is comfortable with his friends.

There is a fourteen years age difference between the two of them. They communicate and get along very well even though their age difference represents that of an uncle – nephew relationship. Recently, Bae Yong Joon and he, only the two of them, have been together about two or three times a week. They chat comfortably about the usual life stories, not dramas or albums, while they drink a coffee and green tea.

Bae Yong Joon is a major shareholder of his agency; Kim Hyun Joong is a new face who Bae Yong Joon signed enthusiastically. In other words, they have a “president” and “a competent new employee” relationship. But Kim Hyun Joong said,
 “Looking at him from the side, Bae Yong Joon is easygoing, different than I had expected. He feels uncomfortable about the nickname which was given to him by the media. He becomes serious (?) by saying, “Don’t’ mess around with my name. Say my real name” when his friends make a telephone call and say “Hi, Yonsama”.
“I just call him Yong Joon hyeong. I can’t call him ‘the president’ or ‘Yonsama’. I can’t call him Ahjeossi (suehan; It means middle-aged man) either (laugh). I have a very comfortable relationship with him. We talk about our problems and we chat for hours easily. Sometimes, we get excited about pretty girls when we’re drinking. We talk about old girlfriends as well. We’re just like other men.”

He took over the cosmetic brand,
 ‘The Face Shop’, advertisement where Bae Yong Joon worked as a model. The photos and concepts of the advertisement give off a similar image that of Bae Yong Joon’s. This coming December, he will go to Japan with Bae Yong Joon for a stage appearance. It seems that his agency is operating ‘the little Yonsama project’ a bit intentionally. But Bae Yong Joon doesn’t coach him. “He doesn’t direct me to do this and that, every detail. I just watch him on the side and learn what I need from him when it is necessary.
Hyeong is very thorough in his self-management. He’s never shown a weak appearance to others. I try to take after his qualtiies. Aside from taking after him I think the expression of ‘Little Yonsama’ is too overestimated. I’ve never encountered the fans even after the events in Japan because I have only stayed in the hotel. So, I’m not sure whether I’m popular or not. Are you asking me why the fans like me? Hmm.. Because, I’m cute (laugh)

The Benefits of "Fangirling"

I have posted this before but I am reposting this again as I think some of you haven't read this yet...


I will always be proud to be a fangirl!


----

So, I am a certified Fangirl...Honestly,?If you go through any means just to buy the album of your favorite group(which, in my case, is SS501), searching everyday to the net about the latest news on them,watching videos of them through youtube, or even listening to their songs number of times every day,wouldn't that qualify you as a fangirl?I would say...YES!!!

But to be honest,I wasn't quite sure why am I here.I mean,there has to be some purposes for everything right?Dont get me wrong.I love what I do.Its just that,you know when sometimes,some people ask you why are you so preoccupied with these things and so on...

That is why I am so grateful when a friend of my friend asked me to answer questions for thesis.It's about the effect of Boys Over Flowers on its viewers. As an addict(which I am prpud to say),I had to answer different set of questions,which are really long by the way.However, there were two questions that struck me.

First: What are the benefits of BOF in your life?

Honestly,that really made me think..I was like..."WOW.Where did it really take me."It wasn't really hard answering the question.What is my answer? FRIENDS... Of all the things that BOF gave me, I guess having new friends is the one of the best. Because of BOF, I searched on through Kim Hyun Joong,then lead to SS501,then..TripleS Philippines and then...THE REST IS HISTORY...
Second, since I met my TripleS sisters, I became more open about my likes and dislikes because I havent been ashamed of what I like and who I hate since then.Honestly, before joining TripleS fanclub,I am really ashamed to let people know of my biases..My fondness of Korean Series and Stuffs..But now...I have never been vocal about my addiction!!!

Second: What is the purpose of BOF in your Life?

Now this was harder..Honestly??????If it were you,how will you answer it..?It was really difficult to begin with.HAHA..But still,I managed to answer it,whole heartedly...BOF's purpose in my life was to broaden my horizons,first and foremost.I have always been limited to myself.But I believe that because of BOF,wow,can you believe I managed to have all the benefits I stated above...???



Why am I blogging this?Simple...Some People think that fangirls do nothing than being fangirls..We save pictures.We buy albums.We sing korean songs.We scream our hearts out.PERIOD.But if you are a fangirl,you would feel the same way I do right?Yes...We scream our hearts out...But it's more than that.Its knowing what you really are,and having many people by your side in return.




So,..are you a fangirl???

Mischievous Kiss Episode 10 Highlight Scenes

You know what I like about Episode 10 soooo much? Not only were Hani and Seung Jo are making me fall in love but because Hyun Joong is really turning into a great actor. It's evident on how some of you, well, I include myself(kekeke) hate Seung Jo for being such a bipolar mean guy to Hani and super kind to Hae Ra right? And that bed scene where he told Hani about not blaming herself if Seung Jo isn't making a move on her on bed. That was so very heart warming.

Hoping for the best for MK!!!
