This is so not good for my wallet! lol
After focusing on his acting career, SS501‘s Kim Hyun Joong is more than ready to turn the focus back to singing. He’s been in high-drive lately, releasing back to back albums in the same year and delving into styles and concepts that most singers go through in double the time.
Why the rush? Kim Hyun Joong took the time to explain why, as well as some news on future releases through his interview with Segye Ilbo.
The singer stated, “First of all, I’m planning to release a ballad in December through a digital single with a unique music video to go with it. In January, I’m going to release another mini-album. Considering my schedule, I don’t have room to space them out. I’m also going on a tour next year to meet up with more of my fans so I’m trying to have some good songs under my belt before then. As for an official studio album, I think I prefer a mini-album with five or so songs.”
His recent “Lucky Guy” comeback was inspired by the movie ‘Ocean’s Eleven‘. He stated, “You can consider the album mainstream, but also modern. My concept is freedom. I remember seeing the movie Ocean’s Eleven and just thinking to myself, ‘That’s it.’ I set the physical concept first and then began to collect songs.”
He continued, “As for ‘Lucky Guy‘, it sounds like a song that would be performed with a band on stage, but I actually have a fun choreography to go with it. It’s a song that I made out of hope of creating something that’s considered band music, but also something that you can dance to. I made sure my outfits were also colorful to give that ‘dandy guy’ look.”
He’s already sold 110,000 album units so far, but that shouldn’t be a surprise considering he’s Kim Hyun joong.
“There’s a limit as to how far you can go as a dance singer. When I’m older, I’m sure I’ll be pursuing different genres, so when I have some time to myself, I want to sit down and try music that I’ve always wanted to pursue since I was younger. I actually love band music and play the bass myself. Still, I want to learn more instruments and create something all my own. At the beginning of SS501′s debut, I liked the thought of being a celebrity, but I think that’s inevitable as a young teen. Either way, I think it’s important to not be content with where you are now and to always work towards improving yourself.”
On the topic of dating, he said, “All of the girls I meet are strictly for business purposes so I don’t have anyone I’m dating. If I do have one, I guess pictures would be taken of us.”
Kim Hyun Joong will be making his comeback on Mnet‘s ‘M! Countdown‘ on October 20th.

I love this.. More and More music from him. I loved lucky so much.. Love all the songs.. And now a wonderful ballad.. wow!!
ReplyDeleteCant wait Hyun Joong! I hope you will be able to promote world wide. I think this is where he is heading. He needs to have lot of songs if he is gonna go for a world tour.. Loving it!!
He has 2 more years to go before going to the military. This 2 years will be very important to him that he needs to solidify his position as a solid singer and actor. He will be very busy with all kinds of activities just like Rain before he left for the military. He is actually late going into acting so he needs to make it up. I hope all his fans will continue to support him.
ReplyDeleteALWAYS SUPPORT AND LOVE KIM HYUN JOONG!HE IS THE BEST!AND LOVE ALL HIS PROJECTS,HE ALWAYS DO SPECIAL SURPRISES FOR ALL WORLD!FIGHTING!
ReplyDeleteIf Hyun Joong plans on having a tour where he incorpriates all his songs, he should be practising that way. Combining all his Breakdown and Lucky songs and anything he adds in December and January. If he practises that way,running them through, he can build his indurance and his air capacity while he performs, or he will be having physical issues. It never hurts to add weights to your feet too, like runners do when they are practising. That way when he actually performs, he can take them off and he will have a little more indurance. Swimming or snorkeling in an indoor pool will help with his lung capacity too. Lookinig forward to your December, and January albums. Good Luck with Lucky Guy, Hyun Joong.
