  5. Yes, among all these dramas mentioned the first one that I really watched was Stairway to Heaven, then noticed Kim Tae Hee's cute face and acting there. But similar with 11:09am, I only became a fangirl, quite unexpected for the first time with Kim Hyun Joong when I learned more about Kim Hyun Joong. I dropped the others I came across after BOF. There is something very special about whatever Leader does.
    He is destined for bigger things. I also learned to like SS501 also with BOF and considered kpop also and now resolved to be a Kim Hyun Joong fan forever...

  6. I read somewhere that fans are questioning the term "movie" taking this very literally.keke The article is dated 15 April I checked and the writer is digging into each star's track record and mentioning how each started to become popular in South Korea. I understand that some countries call stars in general as movie actors just like in Latin America and so with in SK. In other countries, some may distinguish a singer from a TV actor to a movie actor.
    I am glad that Kim Hyun Joong is already very popular since WGM days although the first time I heard of him was in BOF.^^
