Despite group SS501 members have all moved to various other agencies separately and starting on their individual activities, the Japanese fans are still chanting Kim HyunJoong as the leader of SS501.

On 14-Dec, 4pm at Tokyo Dome City JCB Hall, the official photo session started. Shu-I, D-NA, Tomuro Tetsuya, GACKT, VANNESS, Kim HyunJoong, Joe Cheng, HwanHee, Bae YongJoon were there for the photo taking.

Only 630 fans were chosen by drawing lots to attend this event and 200 reporters from Japan, China, Taiwan, Korea and other Asia countries came to report on this event.

At the official photo session, Kim HyunJoong said in Japanese 'Hello. I am Kim HyunJoong. Seeking for your support.' He said and put on a bright smile.

Every time Kim HyunJoong appears on stage, the Japanese fans will shout 'Leader!' (meaning SS501's leader) and chant cheers for Kim HyunJoong. Besides that, Kim HyunJoong nodded slightly and smiled towards his fans while saying his thanks.

Kim HyunJoong came in a comfortable and casual style, wearing matching black jeans with black coat and black vest.

Later from 6pm onwards is the public recording of charity event program 'Message! To Asia' (planned to be broadcasted on 2010-01-10), held at Tokyo Dome and broadcasted through Channel DATV which specializes in broadcasting Asia Entertainment Contents,

I think Japanese fans always call him as leader. It's easier to address him that way, and out of respect too. It's not very polite to just address him as just Kim Hyun Joong in Japanese.
Yeah, he's always a leader in fans' hearts no matter what.

Sometime back, I read that the Japanese fans found it difficult to pronounce the name Kim Hyun Joong. So they called him, "Leader" or rather "Leedah" and that name has stuck on. Eventually, when Hyun Joong Ssi makes his debut as a solo performer in Japan, I think they will still call him, "Leader" or perhaps someday as Hyun-sama ...hee hee hee.

Oh yeah, leader!!.. I love to call him that too.
It's rude to call anybody's name just as is in Japanese. It's the culture. I think he will be called 'leader' for as long as possible.
