[Article] Love Calls Don't Stop

Much thanks Ode for translating this news on your blog. Saw the same news on SS601 earlier but didn't understand much of it.

[Trans] Lovecalls don't stop

Korean to English translation by Ode / Ss501Ode.blogspot.com

Singer and actor Kim Hyunjoong is showered with many many CFs and work proposals throughout the body.

Kim Hyunjoong is currently in final shooting stage for his MBC mini series drama [Playful Kiss]. With its finale ahead in no time, in order to 'book in advance' Kim Hyunjoong, many showbiz personnel have already come knocking on the door of Kim Hyunjoong's agency one by one.

His agency Keyeast's related personnel has stated, "We're expected to revive his CF activities soon since it was because of his drama shooting schedules that had to delay them. There're many diversified CF suggestions received, and we're in midst of selecting the right one that fits best with Kim Hyunjoong's image", as they hint so.

Despite low ratings for [Playful Kiss], it does not seem to have much particular influence in Kim Hyunjoong's popularity. [Playful Kiss] is known to have already sold in advance to 12 overseas countries like Japan, Hongkong, Thailand, Phillipines etc. Though response in Korea is just so-so, once broadcast in overseas countries begin, Kim Hyunjoong's status as a 'Hanryu star' is certainly expected to be solidified further.

Personnel of [Playful Kiss] has mentioned that "Profit received just for the pre-sold distribution rights to overseas has raked in 4 billion won by itself. It will begin to air from December onwards in Japan. If we were to assume the failure and success of this drama just by looking at the results achieved in Korea here, it is meaningless".

Lovecalls for him to appear in many works does not end as well. With SS501 members dispersed in each different agency, it looks like it will take some time for them to resume singer activities. Because of that, possibility for Kim Hyunjoong to focus on acting career for the moment looks high. Keyeast personnel says, "Not just dramas, there're also many movie proposals received. There are so many proposals received, not at all worried. But first and foremost, to take a rest first, while also to plan for his next work carefully and seriously".

So glad to hear Keyeast say 'First and foremost to take a rest'. He deserves it.

It's not sounding good for SS501 activity, though. :(

i'm really glad reading such news, thinking "finally". of course he deserves it.
at the same time, i'm waiting with much anticipation for SS501 to come back all together.

To Anony 8:32pm, :)

Don't worry, i understand your feelings. I once thought about this too. Then, I don;t know why but I got the feeling that it's not ok for our Leader to do that (introduce himself as SS501, talk about his members...). Let's just imagine that and I hope you know what I mean. I think he is now extremely sensitive with media. He'd rather say nothing than getting attacked by some people (you know who I want to say, right?).

And, I'm sorry for this but I guess Keyeast and DSP won't allow him to do that. Others are ok but I think he is an exception. Don't know why but I get that feeling.

And what I want to emphasize is, no matter what he said, I strongly believe that he loves SS501. It's maybe just that he has another way to express it. Leader promised that he would tell us sth after PK, I hope it's about his group. So, let's continue to wait for the nest news. Believe him, he deserves that. :)

hey don't doubt leader. he's the best leader, he thinks about his group, more than we do. but there are a lot of things beyond he and we can handle, eg. copyright problem.
and he's always the one saying he can't express his feelings and also doesn't know how to express.
but he definitely loves his dongsaengs,SS501 and fans.
even TS and his fans don't believe him,......
he already said and requested to believe SS501.

To Anony on 8:32 pm

He did mention SS501 before
the lasted was at The First Love Fanmeet in Japan
(maybe you just not monitoring on him enough?)

beside...
the media always focusing on him
whether he say or not...
I still remember when he write something on DSP's web
next morning it became NEWS

being in his position is not easy
HJL have to be careful with his every move

god...if he say something
and media playing with his words
believed me,some fans will misunderstand and angry with him
or in this case
he is just saying nothing
still some fans start to ask "why he say nothing about members?"

its lose-lose situation for him

but I believed his TRUE FANS will understand


sorry for my bad english

@8.32

dont worry so much, im sure leader misses his members too especially young seang. leader is loyal to his friends of his chilhood days whatmore is ss501 brothers. leader is fast maturing so he aspects his 501 brothers to understand his situation. wait patiently for his announcement on his next move...

@8.48
well said about leader.

hillary said...

Leader doesn't like to express his feelings, his thoughts, especially to the media. So be understandable. We have known him for years. Pls don't raise your doubt.
And he mentioned that SS501 doesn't disband more than twice. He just assures this again last September. How many times do you want him to tell us so you can be pleased???

Anonymous said...

I agree with hillary
How many time he have to mention that SS501 is not disband?

in this very good news of HJL
and it not even his interview

why the thought of "he not talking about his members"came from?

Anonymous said...

Leader has always had another way of loving and caring for his group. Like what the above anonys have said, he probably is in a difficult position too. I don't know why, but from all I've seen about ss501 and him, hyunjoong comes across to me as a sincere character. Just look at how once again, he's having a 'goodbye seungjo' fanmeeting like before. He doesn't say much, but when he does it, he does it. So as a ts, I have no worries at all about him not mentioning his group. Of course I'd like to hear more from him, but I know that that's just how leader expresses himself. So fret not, I strongly believe that he will speak up when the good news are confirmed.

The members know him, and that's why you can still see them speaking of him lovingly. They know this is how he works and they trust him. I'm sure they know their hyung much better than we do =) he once said that he would walk with his members to the end and I believe he still means it. So, please don't doubt him too much, he needs all our support

Anonymous said...

seriously,
why all these anonys have to explained it to you?

you can think about it by yourself
more than that...you should know all of it already

life isn't easy
especially,being in his position

Anonymous said...

@8:32 we don't have an obligations to make you understand on the whole things about hyunjoong and his members...if you are a true ts, you don't ask or feeling doubtful on what happen to our boys..actually, i'm only hj's avid fan. i became a ts fan because of hj is part of ss501 but i still support the rest of his members..so please, don't ruin our moods here since we know that ss501 will come back soon that's why they find a new agency to understand them the time they want to unite again.

I think what I am reading here is that a lot of people still care about KHJ and the rest of the SS501 members to make the time to express their perception of what is happening.

Everybody has a different way of understanding things . I am also glad there are those who took the time to explain and ease the concerns of the others .

KHJ will be happy to know his fans are helping each other understand the situation and yet going beyond that .

It just a matter of time,timing and opportunity that we will get to see them together again.Then we will surely realize love is lovelier the second time around .

Great news! I hope that HJ and KeyEast put his health as priority. He's been losing too much weight, and becoming too pale lately.

Anonymous said...

I'm happy to see all of them working hard towards their goals. Like how hyungjun put it, they are like the members of a baseball team, doing their best in their respective roles, so that they can eventually make a more than great comeback! I believe SS501 will become a even stronger group with all the members stretching out their wings to different countries and markets. It's a personal choice, for those who wish to, let's be TSes who believes in all of them ^_^

I'm looking forward to see a rested and refreshed Kim hyunjoong in the weeks to come. And hear more about kyujong and youngsaeng's career plans.

khj is a man of action and highly misunderstood.

during BOF activities, SS501 was mentioned only when he was ready to go back to being their leader. meantime, he gave his full attntion on current activities which took up all his energy. guessing him having the same attitude, he cannot think of other things except the PK filming.

also, it was late last year and early this year that they announced during interviews they want to undertake their solo activities this year. that is why all their individual contracts stated that SS501 activities will come first when it does.

so all of these happenings today have been sorted long ago. we just have to be patient and believe.

hope my thoughts and beliefs would help clear doubts.

Good news for KHJL having many offers.

SS501 future activities look bleak, but at least we STILL get to see/hear all five individually

The way i understand KHJL is a man of few words but when he does say or do something he means it.

- He said to believe in them, when their contract with DSP ended.

- was not present at KHJB's birthday, but in his own way, he explained in one of his interviews, those who are close to him, even if he does not appear, he will send email to greet them, presents are not needed but the thought counts

- He said they are not disbanded but will release an album in the future - to dispell rumours of them being disbanded

- in Japan, was asked about SS501 activities, he said nothing has been confirmed yet but he would like to do so.

SS501 may come up with something, let's all hope for that but to rush them is not the right thing.. they have their own personal reasons. all TS should do is to love and support each member as always and make a grand reunion for their great comeback(fingerscrossed)

To annony 8:32 PM

you are too shallow
if you just can think more by yourself
I doubt that you are really a TS?
because seem like you don't know HJL well enough
to the point that you need other ppl to explained everything to you
(I assume that he isn't your favorite one huh?)

This is sensitive matter
I don't know what are you intend to do
maybe you just really can't think by yourself or you intend to do something...create a civil war?
but this make me love HJL even more
poor him,he always be the target

tetsu girl said...

Thanks to everyone showing their support to Leader and SS501. But some of you don't have to be so defensive and get upset with Anon@8:32PM. It's okay for TS to express their opinions; we shouldn't all shoot it down just because it's different. She's obviously not an anti; she already said she felt sorry but that's just how she felt, and she's asking fellow TS for reassurance, not backlash.

I appreciate most TS being understanding and simply explaining. Honestly, although I don't doubt Leader, I also wished he would talk about SS501 more, but as some have said, it seems he doesn't want to talk about it yet (or perhaps there are still some legal issues). Compared to the other members, HJL only responding to SS501 questions twice ("no disbandment, what if we release another album?" at PK presscon and "nothing confirmed, but I'd like to do" at 1stLoveStory FM) is less, but it's enough for me. ^^

As I said in an earlier comment, 5-forever-1 is a bond and promise that all of them sincerely made and keep. I believe in SS501! <3

tetsu girl said...

About the article, I'm very glad to hear that his popularity and value in the entertainment and advertising world has not gone down at all. I wonder why it says HJL would be focusing on acting still though. He already said he would like to return to being a singer next year. He's selecting songs for his solo album.

That still means we have to wait a little longer for SS501 group activities, but we already knew that with JM (and probably HJB) doing an album and drama next year. It could be less than a year, but no matter how long it takes, I will wait for SS501, and in the meantime, support and appreciate their solo works. :D

im so glad that my Hyun joong get overload offer ... just rest well befor u start new venture ..my dear

Hi every1! This is a very good news for KHJ, despite low ratings of PK in Korea, his popularity keeps on soaring. Hard work and perseverance pays off. w/ regards to anon 8:32, there's no point in talking abt. his members when there's no definite plans for them to be working 2gether again. when the right time comes, with the right project, im sure its going to be like they were not even apart. let them enjoy this moment, their own time to shine in their own special ways. let's not bog them down with,"how come they don't talk about each other." I agree w/ anon 9:38, no offense to other members, but I also find KHJ as the most sincere, I like maknae too! But for the time being, le'ts just support them in their individual endeavour. Peace!

Omg leader fans have to stop being so sensitive!!
I'm sure anon @ 8:32 is just being concern!!! Take a chill pill man! Stop jumping and attacking a poor soul who's just being concerned. Your over protective towards leader is really over!

Sufi said...

@9:17pm. Omg!! U just took the words right out of my mouth babe!! Haha! *high five* like seriously people. Give anony@8:32pm a break. She was merely voicing out her concern. And she even said sorry if she in any way offended anyone cos we all know this can turn into a sensitive issue. God, what is up w people this days. Whatever happened to freedom of speech. Haiyo.

hillary said...

@9:17pm
We are just saying the truth, aren't we? It's not being protective towards leader or attacking a poor soul.. Because... we should know their personalities better than others as being their fans after all these years...we should trust them more than others...we should be patient and understanding... Don't you think?

Anonymous said...

totally agree with hillary !

We just explained and expressed our feeling as well as she did
now...What happened to freedom of speech?

Anonymous said...

Am the anon at 9.17pm

I realized that i didnt close this comment box. Haha! Then i saw hilary's comment. YEAH MAN!!! Not that i wanna add fuel to fire, but man, is this gonna make those who turned their back on our guys pee in their pants!!! Hahaha!!

So those who are sensitive to anony@8:32 comment, u can calm down and put down ur pitchforks. Haha. She's just concern abt our guys. In fact, all of us are concern abt our guys. So i guess thats y some of us reacted stronly in defence of our boys. I have to admit some of the comments i read here were abit harsh. So yeah, maybe we can learn frm tetsu girl the firm-but-not-harsh-yet-still-nice way. Haha. Lets just maintain peace and harmony, ya. I think we all learnt something. ^_^

And anony@8:32, if ur reading this, i hope u rest ur case ok. Dont worry dearie. Hehe. To all those faithful triple s!!! Lets party people!! Woohoo!!! ^_^ ps: thks hilary for tip!!

@10:55

8:32 didn't concern for 5 boys. she only concern the 4 boys that's why her freedom of speech is bit harsh only to hyunjoong. it's so sad leader is the only guilty of not being talkative about his members.
