This is my nook. A place where I want to share my hankering for Bae Yong Joon, my passion for SS501 [Kim Hyun Joong, Heo Young Saeng, Park Jung Min, Kim Kyu Jong, Kim Hyung Joon] and my wanting to know more about many other Korean artists. ^^
The vids that I have posted from different news in Singapore who covered Kim Hyung Jun's Showcase and Meet & Greet have almost the same content with a bit of this and that. And to be honest regardless how many times I've seen them, I don't get tired watching because Hyung Jun is adorable and his English is something pleasant to the ears.

Pic: Korea band SS501 member Kim Hyung Jun disclosed that he felt lonely during solo activities, but will have bigger areas for development.
SS501 member Kim Hyung Jun just signed a new contract with new company and advancing on his individual career. He disclosed that he often searchs for his related news on the web, increasing viewing rates, in order to increase his popularity.
Kim Hyung Jun came to Singapore to hold a showcase and "Meet-and-Greet" session with fans yesterday. During the interview in the evening, he was asked if it is true that he will search for his related news online as per mentioned in some reports previously.
Hyper Hyung Jun smiled and spoke in English:"Yes that's true. Search me please!", after he heard the translated questions from his translator.
He continued through his translator:"i often search for my related news online, because i felt that it is required as an artiste, especially at the current state when i am doing individual activities. I hope will my fans will also do the same".
After the translator finished translating his words, Kim Hyung Jun naughtily added:"Please do!".
What is the most interesting news that he found when he is browsing through? "Once there was an article which is about my dog, Choco. The content is about how it grew from a puppy to a dog, but actually it is only a small matter".
Actually, Choco belongs to Hyung Jun and his brother, U-Kiss's Ki Bum. The two brothers are in the entertainment industry together, will there be rivalry between them?
Kim Hyung Jun smiled:"Recently i saw my brother being very active in many variety shows, even busier than me, did somehow make me felt threatened! Just kidding! He is a good brother, very happy to see him performed well in his work. Popularity also getting higher. Good boy!".
Wants to act in drama after his individual projects.
After signing with new agency, Kim Hyung Jun disclosed that his current most important project is the musical at the end of the year. He hopes that he will have the opportunity to participate in dramas in future.
This time round, he came alone from Seoul to Singapore, without his memberes, does he find it hard to get used to it?? "Definitely will miss the other members, and will also felt lonely. The most important thing in doing solo activities is have to make alot of decisions on my own, have to be mature in terms of mindset."
However, he said truthfully, solo activities has more freedom and space to development:"In SS501, once wanted to try out a certain genre of music, but it does not suit the other members. Solo projects enable me to go according to my own preference. Furthermore, during filming, i can get all the camera focus to myself. Haha. Just kidding!".
I love how the Singapore media conducted their interview with Hyung Jun. They've asked important questions that most of us wanted to hear.
Thanks cloud0_o of SGTripleS Forum for tweeting this and for translating this interesting topic. Mwuaks!

Pic: Kim Hyung Jun and fans having a great time together, fans are very passionate.
Both brothers are in the entertainment industry. Hyung Jun loves to search for his name online, and felt that brother, U-Kiss's Ki Bum, is a threat!
SS501 member Kim Hyung Jun recently signed with new management alone, and came to Singapore alone to meet fans for the first time. He, a 23 years old guy, has a straightforward and casual personality. While being interviewed, he will talks gently and laugh heartily, making lots of funny expressions. He even did 6 different poses for picture taking instantly and showed his English skills generously. During his interaction with fans, he is very generous, hugged them, laughed happily, electrified them with his charms, almost with no limitation and very friendly. However, Hyung Jun stated that when he is at home, he talks less, "but when up on stage, in order to mingle with fans, he will be very hyper and friendly".
He is the youngest in SS501, but is the eldest in his family. Having different status in different environments tend to make him confused. But he stated that currently, he is happy to be the youngest and a chatty KIm Hyung Jun, "because i am more suitable to be like that!".
Kim Hyung Jun debutted as SS501 in year 2005. His 3 years younger brother, Kim Ki Bum, joined U-Kiss 2 years ago, following Hyung Jun's footsteps into the entertainment industry. Hyung Jun event attended U-Kiss's events to support his little brother, showing their close relationship. However, recently U-Kiss's popularity is rising rapidly, will Hyung Jun be worried about his juniors overtaking him?
"My brother is currently very active in the industry, attending Korea variety shows. At first, we are good brothers, but now, i felt that his is a little threat, but he is still my good little brother!" He quickly added:"Just kidding! I am very happy to see my brother getting more attention and popularity".
U-Kiss came to Singapore twice, while this is the first time for Hyung Jun. He said that his brother had recommended him to try our local delicacies:"He told me Singapore's Chilli Crab and Pepper Crab is a must-try, and not to miss out on Singapore's night view. He even reminded me to buy a present for him. Haha!"
Hyung Jun also generously admit that he loves to search for his name on the web occasionally. His aim is to contribute to his popularity and increase the numbers of views. He stated:"Just started on my solo activities, thus i felt that this is a must, hope that fans will support me, and do the same for me!"
Participate in a musical at year end.
Hyung Jun will participate in a musical at the end of the year, hopes able to step into the movie industry in future.
After going solo, Kim Hyung Jun admits that sometimes he felt lonely. Now that he is alone, he needs to be more mature and careful in his social skills. But being a happy-go-lucky and straighforward, he added:"As a member of SS501, sometimes will want to try our different genres of music, but it might not suit the other members. Now being alone, i can pursue the music style that i like, and can get all the camera focus on myself. Haha!" Having just signed with his new company, they stated that they protect Hyung Jun's activities with SS501. Even though they are in different agencies, but if they want to stand on stage together in future, the company will give their utmost support.
Kim Hyung Jun also disclosed that he will participate in a musical at year end:"Next i hope to advance into the movies industry. Wish that there is a good role for me!"
Hugs with fans.
Over 1000 fans gathered at IMM Garden Plaza last night for "Kim Hyung Jun Meet-and-Greet" session.
Kim Hyung Jun is very friendly and nice during the 2 hours event. He even praised that Singapore fans are very enthusiastic. When the host, Ken, asked him if he wanted to unbutton his vest as the weather is too hot, Hyung Jun actually launched a counter attack and wanted Ken to take off his jacket. The scenario is funny.
Apart from personally signed the posters for the first group of fans, Hyung Jun also addressed each poster according to their names. As for the second group of fans, they received a limited edition poster from Hyung Jun personally. Some of them even asked for a hug, a handshake, highfive etc, having closer contact with their idol.

Before Kim Hyung Jun came to Singapore, he had already decided to leave DSP, and signed a new contract with SPlus management company which Kang Ji Hwan is in. Despite the fact that DSP stressed that SS501 will "go solo but not disband", but Kim Hyun Joong, Park Jung Min and Kim Hyung Jun already left one by one, only left with "201"Heo Young Saeng and Kim Kyu Jong, which reality did not tally with their words.
The contract between SS501 and DSP management company expires in June, leader Kim Hyun Joong is poached by Bae Yong Joon and left the team first, currently is filming his new drama, . Next Park Jung Min signed with "CNR Media", which is a joint company by Taiwan famous producer, Angie Chai, and Korea "Roy Media". And on the 27th afternnon at a promotion event in Japan, Korea SPlus company officially announced to public that Kim Hyung Jun had already signed with them, and he will be the juniors of famous artistes like Kang Ji Hwan and Jo Sung Mo.

Previously Kim Hyun Joong attended 's presscon and talks about SS501's future for the first time. He said:"SS501 is not disband", but yet talks about him preparing for his solo album and focusing on his individual activities first.

On the 31st, in a phone interview with Newsen, Playful Kiss OST's production team Sponge Entertainment Lee Sang Mok nim revealed, "Kim Hyun Joong recorded not long ago for the male lead's solo theme, it's a sweet ballad track".
In addition, "Because it's the theme of the male lead himself, instead of having others sing the song, it will be better if Kim Hyun Joong sings it himself, and this was recommended by Hwang In Roi PD nim, to which Kim Hyun Joong agreed readily". Not just that, "HyunJoong doesn't have any free time because of his very tight schedules that nests through nights, but even if he may be very tired, he still gave up his sleep and eventually finished recording for the song safely","Instead, I encouraged him that concentration in the morning will achieve better results", showing his praise for HyunJoong.
"The moment news about Kim Hyun Joong participating in the OST came out, calls from media in Japan and Taiwan surged in almost immediately, and suddenly, we just realized how Kim Hyun Joong's popularity was so real", he also expressed.
