Hanryu PIA Editor’s note on Kim Hyun Joong

Source: @韓流ぴあJapanese Translation: miyo @lovekimhyunjoong.com

Even the heat was blown away! Unveiling behind the interview of refreshing Kim Hyun Joong

Has everyone seen the 「Hanryu Pia 10/31 Issue」 already (laughs)? On the cover of this issue, currently showing in Korea, the Korean drama version of 『Playful Kiss』 acted by Kim Hyun Joong! We will introduce behind the scene of the interview with the loving smile prince, Kim Hyun Joong.

The interview was held on 21st August, right before the 『Boys Over Flowers』Alumni Event. In the midsummer heat from the staff, the moment Kim Hyun Joong appeared in the hotel room, the perspiration instantly stopped (serious!). Wearing a suit, Kim Hyun Joong looking tall and with a small face, really is beautiful…… . As if a prince pop out from a fairy tale (laughs). Answering the interviewer’s question with ease. He looks different from the past, the time when surrounded by SS501 members or the time together with the cast of 『Boys Over Flowers』, kind of like matured.

In the interview, he really answered a lot of questions regarding the drama, his future plans etc. He left a deep impression on talking about the work of an actor.“I thought that instead of saying becoming an actor, it be better to say living as this image, everything of it, isn’t it meant as acting also? For example, I am acting as “the actor Kim Hyun Joong” and everyone is acting as “reporters”. Isn’t it like this? “

During photographing time, as the room was unable to accommodate too many people, all the reporters have to wait at the corridors.

After around 10mins, the photographing has ended and Hyun Joong walks out of the room quickly looking over here and before we knew it he greeted politely, “Otsukaresamadeshita! (Good work today)” and rushed heading to the venue of the Alumni event.

Despite busy over the tight schedule, caring about the staff by smiling for a brief moment, the effect was outstanding! Flower boy’s smile really has its power. The dazzling smile made the reporters dizzy~.

Such a Kim Hyun Joong interview can be found in the magazine 「Hanryu Pia 10/31 Issue」.11 pages of big special feature of pictures and interview is a must see! In addition, we have prepared VIP seat as special present for 『“Kim Hyun Joong 1st Premium DVD & PHOTOBOOK “The First Love Story”』 sales event fan meeting on 11th October. (Closing date 1st October. Last chance!) Apply for it!

Eunjo’s ( little brother) diary 10/2/2010

I saw a very pretty girl at school. I didn’t know she existed till now. One day she just appeared in front of my eyes.

I was just staring at her during P.E. and got caught by dummy oh ha ni.

I don’t know what oh ha ni said to sara, but she was able to convince her to come over. I was so happy.

I showed sara my geometric toys, but she said they were boring and wanted to go home. I didn’t know what to do.

What do girls like?

Big bro came and played with us. Sara seemed to be having fun too and wanted to leave after eating dinner.

“ Oppa (big bro for girls), do you believe in love at first sight?” Sara asked my brother.

I was so happy. For sure I believed Sara fell in love with me at first sight. But…

“ will you wait just 7 years for me?”

It was my big bro that sara fell in love with at first sight. For the first time in my life I disliked my big bro.

I was always very proud of my handsome and smart brother but today I thought it would be nice if he was uglier then me.

Now I understood what adults meant when they say, “ don’t drink kimchhi stew.” No doubt in my mind kimchi stew will be very yucky ( I’m so sorry. I translated this word for word and I have no idea what he is talking about- Jiners)

“ Our eunjo is so handsome/cool~!” says my mom.
No matter how much she says that it wont work. Chi! I must be handsome/cool in her eyes because shes my mom. Sara has to be the one to say im handsome/cool for it to be real.

Sara only likes my brother. I’m really feeling down.

Even I’m JJang (the best) in school too. Why doesn’t sara like me?

I don’t ever want to see oh ha ni. I didn’t even ask her to do it but why did she have to bring Sara to our house and let her see big bro. Nosy dummy oh ha ni!!!

“ Eunjo, I think two people simultaneously liking each other is a miracle. Will that miracle ever occur for me too?”
Oh Ha ni is sincerely talking to me. Today she seems a bit like a normal person.

Because of my brother does oh ha ni’s heart hurt too?

Since I’m sincerely talking like this with oh hani. It seems as though I’ve grown a bit more (matured) tonight. As if I got taller after going through so much heartache.

Dummy oh ha ni left our house. Its so nice because its quiet. Sometimes it’s a bit lonesome because there is nobody to make fun of. It seems as if big bro feels the same way. Lately he plays with a weird cheap doll.

My mom has her hair wrapped up and just lays down everyday. She doesn’t clean or make food. Dad split the chores equally but I told big bro to do it all. I wanted to help him with the cleaning but I’m still slightly dislike him.

My tummy hurt really really bad I almost died. While mom and dad were gone I ate lots of pizza, drank lots of coke and played video games all day. I must have been getting punished. Luckily dummy oh ha ni came running inside and helped me.

After surgery it hurt a lot, but I met a new friend Nori so I was happy. Nori and I studied with big bro and had a birthday party too. Dummy oh ha hi comes everyday so its annoying. She tries to teach Nori even though she knows less than me. They put us in wheelchairs and while running through the hallways of the hospital the big sister nurse scolded us. Mae-Rong! ( what you say when Koreans stick their tongue out at people. Like seung jo did to hani after the kiss)

But it seems as though big bro has a lot of time on his hands too because he comes to the hospital everyday. Do college students not study?

Oh ha ni came back into out house. I got my room taken away again, but I can let that go. After all she is my life savior.

I lightly snuck towards oh hani and quickly said, “ I’ve troubled you a lot with this incident. Thank you.”

After oh ha ni came back big bro laughs to himself with excitement all day. But again for a couple days he doesn’t talk to anyone and is in deep thought all day. Whatever I ask him he doesn’t reply. What can the problem be?

My brother is leaving the house to live on his own. If it were me I would stay home because its much more comfortable. Big bro wants to go out into the world and try surviving on his own.

The day he left I stood at the door entrance to say goodbye.

“Eunjo, I’m going.” He says.

Its so sad I hand on to him and cry. Even though I’m hanging on to him big bro is not looking at me. Instead hes only looking at dummy oh ha ni. My big bro is weird. He doesn’t even say goodbye to oh ha ni. All he does is stare at her. Its really weird.

Last night I could hear oh ha ni crying in her room. I wanted to tell her to be quiet, but she was crying so sadly I just let it go.

It must be because of my brother. Since shes crying because of one of my family members I let it go. But why does my brother continue to make oh ha ni cry?

Does oh ha ni cry because my brother keeps teasing her? A couple days ago before he left the house he teased her a lot too. Truthfully I was the one who first discovered oh ha ni’s panties.
“Oh dummy oh ha ni,” I thought. If I went to give it to her I felt bad she might get embarrassed so I pretended like I didn’t see it and went into the room. But the weird thing is my grown up adult brother grabbed those panties with his hands and I could hear him teasing oh ha ni.

“did your growth stop in elementary school?” he teased

“ when I see you I keep wanting to make it harder for you~!” he said.

Why would my brother do something that even I an elementary school student wouldn’t do.
Why does he keep making oh ha ni cry.

Eunjo’s Diary entry 9/28/2010

Today mom was very annoying. She kept saying that we had to leave the house for an urgent matter. She called dad and we met at SoPalBok noodle house (OHN’s dads shop) and ate. She dragged me out of the house saying there was a big prolem….but it was just to eat food? Very annoying.

I’m really sleepy but my mom wanted to go to the karaoke. At the karaoke the adults only sang songs they knew so it wasn’t fun for me at all. I wonder what on earth my mom is up to?

Weird. We come home and its quiet. Talkative dummy oh hani isn’t here and big bro isn’t here either. Hmm? But suddenly dummy oh hani comes running out of our room. Her face is red… suspicious.

I go into the room and big bro is giggling to himself with the lights off. I ask him why is oh hani like that? He answers, “I’m not sure I wonder why.” and continues to look and his English book and laugh. Is English really that fun? Now that I take a look at him again, big bro’s face seems a bit red too.

I lay down trying to sleep but big bro continues to laugh to himself. Its so noisy I want to die. Today big bro, mommy, and dummy oh hani are all weird.

Today as soon as big bro heard oh hani’s computer broke he jumped up and ran to her room. Dummy Oh hani is crying and throwing a fit because her application may have gotten erased. My genius brother fixed it. But my big bro is weird. Since he was reading his favorite book, he wouldn’t even turn around to look at me when I tried talking to him, but when he heard dummy oh ha ni crying he jumped up and ran to help her. after he fixed the computer he should have left the room. Why is he just sitting in her room still? My big bro is suspicious.

Uneasiness…for some reason I feel uneasy…
lately big bro secretly laughs for no reason. Its cold but he keeps the window open. I tell him its cold, but he pretends to not hear me. He is so deep in thought and keeps laughing to himself while staring at the fork and card dummy oh hani gave him. The card says < Take the test well. Baek Seung Jo JJang (Best).> The card only has 8 words, if it were me I could read it quickly. Big bro keeps looking at it and looking at it and continues to giggle. He then finished his porridge and carefully placed the stuff in his drawer.
Uneasiness.
My continuously giggling big bro makes me uneasy.
The continuously intruding oh hani makes me uneasy.

Today big bro keeps bathing. Previously I saw him wash his face but hes washing his face again. His friend called him but big bro told him that he was busy today. Mom wanted to go to the mall, so i followed. Then my mom called big bro and said that she is at the theatre and she got stood up and asked if he could come quickly. Huh? Previously big bro said he was busy… Weird? He said he would go. My mom says she would be a good actress.

But I knew.
Why big bro kept washing his face. Why he told his friend he was busy today. Mom thinks she knows everything about big bro, but it seems as though she doesn’t know everything. Could it really be that big bro went to the theatre because of moms good acting?
I feel bad for my mom who doesn’t know anything.
