The Kim Hyun Joong Effect

I actually asked last night how the sales of the UFO cover is doing in SK. wen commented that it's already sold out. I read the news too in SS601 regarding about it. Now here's the confirmation from xiaochu. She just posted her translation of the news I read this morning and shared on Quiante about the selling power of Kim Hyun Joong.

‘Kim HyunJoong is sold-out guy!”

SS501 Kim HyunJoong is indeed very good.

Kim HyunJoong showed his ability of selling out SamSung Haptic phone cover within a day of release on 21-Jul, through Samsungmobile.com website.

This product named as UFO cover, was designed by Kim HyunJoong himself. Kim HyunJoong’s design cover started selling on 21-Jul at 2pm, and ended on 22-Jul, 10am. This is the result of only 1 day. Kim HyunJoong’s design cover advance purchase has ended and has been currently removed from online shopping mall’s list. Kim HyunJoong’s design cover is sold at 9,000won, which means that he made nearly 9 million won close to 10 million won in a day. It is not too exaggerating to use ‘Kim HyunJoong effect’ to describe his high popularity.

Samsung Electronics put this product with singer Son Dambi’s design, heart patterned cover, for advance purchase from 21~25 July, and had since sold 1,000 pieces. Son Dambi’s design cover is still available as at 6pm, 22-Jul.

Kim HyunJoong and Son Dambi carried out their mission for Samsung Anycall Haptic CF ‘New Employee’ from April. As new employees, they completed their mission with new ideas and design for phone covers by themselves. It took about 3 months for their designed product to be manufactured and to be sold in the city.

Kim HyunJoong is actively practicing for SS501’s Asia Tour Concert. For 2 days, 1st and 2nd Aug, SS501’s 1st Asia Tour concert will be held at Seoul Songpa-gu, Olympic Park’s Gymnasium stadium. And for 4 months thereafter, they plan to hold a total of 15 performances in Japan, Taiwan, HongKong, Thailand, China, Malaysia, Singapore, etc, a total of 10 countries.
