It 's now out in the open. PhilStar.com reported on it's news portal Kim Hyun Joong's vacation in Cebu. I guess Leader must have heard from friends the beautiful smile city of Cebu with so many beaches, mangoes, great handmade guitars from friends [DBSK was before I think several times, one of his high school friends studied here].
I have been to Cebu many times and the best place I've been to is Shangri-la Mactan. You may want to check it HERE. When I learned that Leader is going to be in Cebu, I first thought that he'll be staying in this resort since there'll be less Koreans there now since Imperial Palace will be crowded with Koreans since it's new and owned by Koreans. [There is another resort which I'll tell you later ^^]
Anyway, since Leader I think is still here, for now read this article first. I'll be sharing a bit of info later which sarangkhj shared when Leader is back in Seoul later.
On a gentle reminder those who plan to see Leader please let him enjoy his short vacation, k? Like what I've been saying who knows if he feels he's safe here he might come back and even bring some of his friends.

"Boys Over Flowers" star in Cebu for 'vacation'
(The Freeman) Updated June 22, 2010 12:00 AM
CEBU, Philippines - Korean star Kim Hyun Joong (also known as Ji Hoo of “Boys Over Flowers” fame) is reportedly in Cebu for a vacation. He arrived in Cebu via the Cebu Pacific 5J 581 flight that left early afternoon from Manila last Sunday.
Kim Hyun Joong was accompanied by bodyguards, was friendly to passengers, responded to fans’ greetings, but didn’t accommodate requests for photographs, Carleizle Gonzaga, one of the Cebu Pacific flight attendants on-duty, told The FREEMAN.
She said that Korean tourists, who were on the same flight, were the ones who immediately recognized the South Korean idol.
Kim Hyun Joong was in Manila over the weekend as the special guest of the popular Korean Pop group Beast, which had a successful concert at the Araneta Coliseum last Saturday.
When asked if the “Boys Over Flowers” star was a hotel guest at the Korean-owned, five-star Imperial Palace Resort in Mactan, a source told The FREEMAN, “Yeah, he was supposed to arrive yesterday (Sunday), but he has not checked into (Imperial) yet.” As far as the source knows, the singer-actor is here in Cebu for vacation and not for work.
Imperial Palace has been the home of visiting Korean stars, becoming the set location of TV programs for the Korean channel KBS and videos of KPop stars like F.T. Island, 4Men, supermodel Jessica Gomes, among others.
Apart from Imperial Palace, Shangri-La Resort Mactan is also a choice hotel of Korean celebs, where KPop superstar Rain held the first fashion shoot for his clothing label and where the entire cast of the TV series “Jumong,” which was also aired in the Philippines, had their victory party-cum-vacation.

He's still in the Philippines? Wow!!! He must have like it there for him to stay in one place that long.... good for him...
Liezle, this is off topic but important: is there any way you can get information from your Korean contacts on how things are with SS501 and DSP with regards to the contract... i think this is the lingering question that almost everyone wants to know..its end of the month already and still no formalization ...
...and also, thank you for this blog, you really make a lot of people happy
Hi Anonymous and thanks for visiting my blog.
About the contract of SS501 i'm also waiting for the official announcement from whoever it's going to come from. Let's have more patience I'm sure sooner we will get to hear/read something about it. Likewise don't stress yourself too much with all the rumors believe in what the members are telling us.

Ehh.. i thought he stays in Plantation Bay, no?
Well, have a great time, leader
Bacolod City is known to be the City of Smile not Cebu :)
Anonymous 10:33. Thank you for the correction. I've changed the title then. ^^

"There is another resort which i'll tell you later" -liezle
The only remaining best resort i know will be PLANTATION BAY... if his HS friend studied in one of expensive schools in Manila...Its probably Plantation Bay because CONYO people only goes to luxury place like the said resort...Oh i forgot, there's a Hilton in Cebu but i don't think Hilton got Villas like what the older post described... hehehe...
Cebu City often called the “ Queen City of the South” and the Seat of Christianity in the Philippines , Cebu is the country's oldest city. Exploring Cebu City , one encounters a rich historic past. Cebuanos are extremely proud of their cultural and historical heritage, a legacy which has endured through the centuries from the time the great explorer Ferdinand Magellan first planted the cross on Cebu 's shore. Time has been kind to Cebu . From Zubu, the busy trading port in 1521, it has evolved into a highly urbanized metropolitan center which now serves as focal point of growth and development in Southern Philippines .

Hi Liezl, I enjoy your posts very much :) Thank you. BTW, would you know if Leader will fly back to Korea from Cebu airport? Or will he and his entourage leave from NAIA? Thanks!
Hi liezle! have u seen the fan account (cebu) in joongbo thread at soompi although it's 2nd hand :)
Hi liezel thanks for the updates.. it was so nice to hear that kim hyun joong is still in the philippines.. i've been to cebu few years back, and i enjoyed it for hyun joong will love it too.. btw, when is he going back to south korea? thanks a lot..
Everybody will know when he has left Cebu through pictures taken in the airport (that is I hope there will be someone there to take the pictures).
In the meantime ,let him enjoy his vacation.He deserves to enjoy and I hope he gets to the guitar making factories (which I read exports to Japan and US and can even custom made the guitar according to the body measurements ).For all we know the guitar HJ bought in Japan came from Cebu .For that alone , he will love Cebu .
