‘Kim Hyun Joong’ True Self Unveiled – Cute, Fun, Lively and Sexy
(Thai-language newspaper Daily News published on September 1, 2011)
Kim
Hyun Joong was back again to Thailand to greet his Thai fans. This time
round, he came back as a solo artist, without his SS501 band mates, to
promote his album “Break Down”. Kim Hyun Joong also gave a special treat
to 500 fans with a Hi 5 event. We could not miss out the opportunity to
have an exclusive talk with the star. Let’s experience Kim Hyun Joong’s
ultimate charm and loveliness.
How
are you feeling so far with the promotion of your first solo album
“Break Down” in Thailand? What have you prepared for the fans this time?
My
last visit to Thailand is a concert with SS501, which is not long time
ago. But this time, I saw many fans come to the airport to welcome me.
It made me feel very warm and I’m very happy to be back here and meet my
fans. I know everyone has been waiting for me. Although I only came
back with a Hi 5 event this time, I’m going to have an Asia tour early
next year and Thailand is one of the countries on my itinerary. Please
wait for me.
Can you talk about the concept of “Break Down”? How much did you get involved in this album?
Actually, I took part in every aspect of
the album from producing down to cover and logo design. I also selected
all the songs. In fact, I am very dedicated to this solo album and I am
very happy that it was warmly welcomed by the fans so I have to thank
everyone for that. About the concept, well I looked kinda boyish in the
past but in this album I became more mature and the songs are more
powerful as I would like everyone to see the other side of me”
What about your acting career? Any news?
I don’t have a plan yet but as I said, I
would have concerts next year so I would like to focus on this one
first. After my Asia Tour ends, which is around next March or April, you
will see me in a different role as an actor once again
You have worked in music and drama. Is there anything else you would like to try?
Nope. I’m having so much fun with these two.
If you were not a singer or an actor, what would you do?
I love music so I think I would probably do something that is related to music.
One minute you are being cute, the next minute you can be very lively or even sexy. What is the real Hyun Joong like?
I think what you have seen about me;
being a cute boy in fun moments or the sexy side of me, it is real me
because I’m not pretending. I’m expressing myself and showing myself to
everyone what I am like at that particular moment.
Can you share with us the impression between yourself and your fans?
Without the love from each and every
fan, I would not be standing here. Therefore, I wish all the fans would
continue giving me this love. It is a good inspiration and encouragement
for me to try to be better in the next album.
You are here in Thailand. What is it about Thailand that you find charming?
I have been here for several times
already. I think the charm of Thailand is in its warm weather. In Korea,
we have 4 seasons so whenever I come here, it’s always hot [translator:
lol] that is very refreshing for me.
If you have a chance to visit Thailand on a personal trip, where would you like to go most?
I have been to many places in Thailand
already. One of the places that I went to is a temple where there are a
lot of monkeys living in. I want to go there again and see what they are
like. Temples here are pretty beautiful and I also saw one resort by
the waterfall so I would like to try staying there.
What would you like to say to your Thai fans?
SPECIAL AND BEAUTIFUL!ALL HIS PROJECTS ARE GREAT!LOVE ALL!
ReplyDeleteAmong all other celeb one thing i love most is that KHJ never pretend. He's just being himself all the time.It's like "what you see is what you get" thing, that's the real KHJ. That's why I like him. In his other TV appearance (strong Heart) one of the guest said "you were dating before, but not anymore". He admitted to that, but actually the guest was only guessing the question. KHJ said "I'm not good at lying, what can I do".
ReplyDeleteKHJ is good in handling interviews, because he has nothing to hide. In almost all his interviews, relationship is always in the list of questions. He said "celeb who can handle relationship at the same time with career are those with ability". In short, he knows for himself he has to work on with what is still lacking in his talent, & he want to focus on that.
I can understand his feelings, if ever he's in a relationship, it will be a pity,that his girl will end up being left out while he's focus on his work. KHJ doesn't have that ability to have a relationship & career at the same time, specially at this time as it's a turning point of his career.
