(Translation) Kim Hyun Joong at Happy Together

Thanks to the people at soompi for the translation! ^^

Translated by Cheerkoo(Sus)@ GooHyeSun's Soompi. Special thanks to Sue!

For Happy Together, I will just translate KHJ parts. However, KHJ revealed himself as a loyal and dependable friend as he helped HeoYongSeng to shine in that show.

Clip 1
@1:32 KHJ is applauded continuously by mcParkMyungSoo due to his solo album and his being picked as first in rank at a music show. (Also, a note: one of the twins from group called Boyfriend really looks like KHJ..right??)
Lady mc's praise his manly look as opposed to looking like a pretty boy not too long ago.

MCYooJaesuk point out that HeoYS also has come out as solo artist. Yoo asks if they talked alot about it. YS says that KHJ encouraged him to become a solo ballad singer a great deal since YS was the main vocal during SS501 days and has the voice for it. But YS says that he wanted to dance.
Yoo asks KHJ why he advised YS that way?
Park chimes to to say it is because KHJ wamted to dp the dance music and there would be an overlap if they do the same things. KHJ cracks up.
Yoo asls Park if he is KHJ and Park says he is Park Myung JOONG. (laughter) KHJ says that YS is known well for his great voice so he felt that YS can just stand on stage to showcase his tallent instead of sweating on stage to sing. (KHJ kind of put himself down in a funny way to elevate his friend.on the show..I thought it was very admirable.)

KHJ told him that he can move the audience just with his singing voice on stage and that was his reasong for encouraging him that way.

YS talks about his failures in other variety shows--that he was rarely put on camera due to his doing the "right thing" consistently.

@7:06 The twin singers are introduced. MCYoo point out how KHJ and the twins look so much alike.

The twins are grateful for that but KHJ seems slightly uncomfortable with that flattery. KHJ says that he has seem the twins in tv stations and felt like looking at himself when he was 20 yo. Everybody point out how the twins are prettier than most females. Also the twins prepared imitation of KHJ's BreakDown dance.

BOF lines are repeated and KHJ create laughter by making mistakes. He addresses the young twins as if they are little kids but in a respectful way. When he make mistakes, he tells them not to do it that way.
YS says that KHJ can create the mood of deep thought and cf-like image due to his big eyes and features even if he is just sitting in a daze without thinking about anything.
@9:55 he shows his pose of just doing nothing.

Twins show imitation of BD then they want KHJ to do it too. KHJ points out that one has to wear sunglasses to do BD. The reason is that the twins look so gentle and innocent and he also gives off not so bad image. That is why sun glasses are needed. Others chime in to say that one needs that tough and rough manly image to do the BD.
Yoo points out that YS is looking at KHJ in an odd way. YS says that on air, KHJ may talk about how to dance BD in his 4-D and funny way, but in private, KHJ would say in a very cool way, "BD has to be danced with charisma".
After HJ dances, women are talking about feeling very hot in the room.

clip2

MC's ask KHJ to show some of his poses in CF's.
ParkMS says that he is upset at KHJ as he tends to get all the CF's
KHJ says that when he is doing one cf with water being splashed at him, he has to pretend that water is actually splashed at him as they do not want water to stain the camera equipments. (KHJ does seem to know how to act better in these poses.) MC's also try to imitate KHJ and make laughter.

@6:01 KHJ is asked to imitate Andre Kim. KHJ says that he will use the situation where Andre Kim is presenting clothing gifts to people to imitake Andre Kim. He says: I decided to dress HeoYS in a blue dragon pattern luxury outfit, For YooJS ssi, I thought I will try yun-flower (lily flower) patter--do you like it? (laughter) Ladies ask KHJ to dress mcPark. KHJ says in Andre Kim's voice, For you ParkMSssi, you need to try a little harder then, I will dress you up. Laughter. (As soon as KHJ said Yun-flower )

@6:58 KHJ points out that YS can imitate several actors very well. (YS gets positive spotlight for his talent.)

@8:10 Fill in the blank quiz time for the stars. If anyone gets it correct, they win the prizes.

GwangHee says that he doesnot have as much popularity as he does in Korea and wonders why?

They ask KHJ. KHJ says that Japanese culture seems to like Korean man's manliness and manly courtesy for women. Japanese culture incorporated dutch pay concept between man and woman which is not common in Korea. They seem to like that about the macho image of Korean man.
Gwanghee is loud, gossipy and gets no applause from the Japanese audience.
KHJ says that it is better to be very polite and formal in speech when addressing the audience in Japan. KHJ says that YS has a bad-man image deriving from the fact that he tens to be quiet on stage and people have to yell for his smiles and then he would give a little.

@12:37 YS says that he was once misunderstood because he bought a Chinese woman's dress from a costume store whe he went to Japan for the first time. He says that it was really cute that he watned to buy it for decoration purpose. He was doing it for pure purpose of fun. But many people misunderstood his action as him having a gf and etc. In Korea, costume store is rare but in Japan, it si a big thing and he was fascinated by it. He bought it in front of lots of fans.

KHJ says that when he saw what YS shopped, he also went out that very night and bought himself a school uniform from the same store.
YS says that KHJ has it hidden. (Here, mcPark MiSun was kind of looking straingely at KHJ and YS for buying women's costumes that I think KHJ felt a bit strainge?? Or was he saying all that to protect YS??--it was just my feeling and could be wrong...)

Question is : When KHJ looks at a woman, he also looks at blank blank.

MCShin says the chest. GwangHee says her heart, ParkMyungSoo says her wallet. the twins guess correct with "her drinking capacity".
KHJ says that he finds those purely friends who are females and who do not drink to be uninteresting. It is hard to find interesting things to talk about with them and he parts with them more quickly because they have very little to talk aobut. So, to date KHJ, the lady has to be able to drink.

clip3

KHJ says that he just does not feel the attraction to women who do not know how to drink.
The mc's asks about unacceptable behaviors after drinking--KHJ rejects women who curses or falls asleepon street or steals after drinking.
KHJ says he does not mind if she steals his side dishes while drikning. MCShin admits that she tends to curse after drinking. (laughter)

MCYoo points out at singer HyoRin said that she does not drink that much but then she changes story and says that it is not that little. laughter

Next question is also about KHJ. KHJ was refused for blank.

KHJ says it was very upsetting.
He also says that he was in quarrantine for one week in Japan.
KHJ talked about the time he lost consiousness after having eaten very spicy noodles.(This is reported in an article in KHJ soompi already.) JUst to correct some details. He did not sleep for 4 nights as he was doing music shows on Wed, Thurs, Fri and Sat. Then, he felt so relieved that he and hyungs went to eat. He was walking the neighborhood of ShinSadong and found the noodle shop that was advertised to be in Shingildong.It is supposedly a well known restaurant that openid a chain store. KHJ ordered the most spicy or the 4th level spicy noodle soup Then as the article indicated, he got sick, wnet to bathroom and hyung found him unconcious. Before he orderd that soup, the cook told him not to eat it. When KHJ was being carreid out of the bathroom, the hyungs told him that the cook had a look of contentment on his face--like I told you

One of the twins said that he was once asked to be someone's girlfriend (he is a man).

So KHJ says that he was approached three times on one day. This was also in the article in soompi. It occurred when KHJ was 20 yo. He went to Itaewon area to buy clothes becuase he likes big size clothes. He told the first guy that he does have a girlfriend already and rejected him politely. You have to read rest of the story in soompi.(Maybe KHJ did not know at that young age..but I heard that Itaewon ares is famous for gay bars and shops.) The first guy was ajussi age who approached him. When that ajussi looked disappoined that KHJ already has a partner, KHJ thought the ajussi was drunk and could not understand his behavior. 10 steps down, The rest is like the artilce. The third guy approaced him by grabbing his back and asking KHJ how he feels about him.

MC's say that they were never approached that way. Laughter

Now the guests and mc;s are playing a twist of tongue game and KHJ is asked which way the turns should take and KHJ says counterclockwise instead of simply saying this way or that way. laughter

If you cannot repeat the tongue twister correctly the number of times designated to you, you get splashed with water. The first peron says it once, the second says it twice and so on.

@5:59 KHJ get spalshed and then says he wants to try again. He wants people to take turns by skipping one person in between. Screen says KHJ si setting up new trends in trun taking for the game.

He messes up at the first try. MC YOO says that we are going to end here.
But KHJ must hate losing so he insists that they try one more time. He passes the ordeal before the end....keke The end...
