Kim Hyung Joon in a drama soon!

Have you heard of the Korea-Japan tele-cinema production that was reported last year? Well, it's a short tv series consisting of 2 episodes with various reputable scriptwriters and directors from Japan and Korea.

This tele-cinema project I think is well anticipated not only because famous stars are in it but also because some of actors participating in this project are from k-pop. Names like Kim Jae Joong of TVXQ, TOP and Seungri of Big Bang and from the news that came out today Kim Hyung Joon of SS501 will also be in one of the short tv series.

I've read somewhere that filming of each drama is either done or on going. As for the k-pop idols, Jae Joong has finished shooting this project i believe late last year. As for the Big Bang boys, there were news and video [of MV including scenes from the drama] that came out recently mentioning '19'. KHB reportedly started filming in April [read news below].

Much much thanks again xiaochu of Quiante!

Casted for the role of the son of a wealthy family in Korea-Japan joint production ‘Tele Cinema’

SS501 Kim HyungJoon will challenge himself on acting as an actor.

Kim HyungJoon was made one of the lead actors for the Korea-Japan joint production ‘Tele Cinema’. Kim HyungJoon will thus debut as an actor after being a radio DJ and a regular MC for variety program. He will be doing both singing and acting concurrently just like other members of SS501, Kim HyunJoong who acts in ‘Boys Over Flowers’ and Park JungMin in musical ‘Grease’.

Kim HyungJoon will act as a rebellious son of a wealthy family, with novelty charisma in this drama, title yet to be confirmed. Kim HyungJoon’s partners for this drama are Bae SeulGi and Son HoYoung.

Kim HyungJoon secretly finished his filming at Seoul and Kyunggi-do, etc, in mid-April. Kim HyungJoon had to do various fighting actions during the filming and generously showed his acting with his actions. A close Kim HyungJoon source said “Kim HyungJoon had a strong image of being a magnae or a cute little brother previously. However, through this drama, he will show us the cool side of him as a man.”

‘Tele Cinema’ is a drama jointly produced by Korean actors and famous Japanese drama producers. DBSG’s Hero JaeJoong, Han HyoJoo, An JaeWook, Kang HyeJung, Lee JiAh, Kang JiHwan, Big Bang’s Top & SeungRi, Heo LeeJae, etc have already participated for this series. It will be first broadcasted through SBS this year and later through public TV channels in Japan.

p.s. This project of KHB sounds exciting. So much stuff to look forward to from the boys. I wonder how they will transform Baby into a rebellious guy when he has a soft feature and giggles a lot.

p.p.s. Here's the list of the eight short tv series that will soon be out and of the eigh i'm pretty sure that I'll be watching four.

1. Heaven’s Postman (천국의 우편 배달부)
Cast: Kim (Hero) Jaejoong, Han Hyo Joo, Shin Goo, Kim Chang Wan

2. A Stone’s Dream (돌멩이의 꿈)
Cast: Cha In Pyo, Kim Hyo Jin, Go Jung Min

3. Triangle (트라이앵글)
Cast: Ahn Jae Wook, Kang Hye Jung, Lee Soo Kyung,

4. After the Wedding (결혼식 후에)
Cast: Ye Ji Won, Bae Soo Bin, Shin Sung Woo,Go Ah Sung

5. My Love, Ugly Duckling (얼굴과 마음과 사랑의 관계)
Cast: Kang Ji Hwan, E Ji Ah, Hwang Bo Ra

6. Paradise (낙원)
Cast: Kim Ha Neul, Ji Jin Hee

7. 19 Years Old (나의19세)
Cast: Huh E Jae, Seungri, T.O.P

8. Unconfirmed [this is probably the one with KHB]

It's really not easy being a Bae Yong Joon fan

cam shared this wonderfully written post by xiaoyanl in BYJ's Quilt. Huge thanks cam and xiaoyanl!

I strongly believe that xiaoyanl is not alone in what she feels because I also feel the same way though i manage to make myself busy with other stuff. Actually many Baefans have already started complaining for the lack of news on Yong Joon. But for long time fans of Yong Joon, the case of him hiding is not already new just like xiaoyali wrote, but this is the longest time that he had stayed low profile.

Believe it or not being a BYJ fan is not easy. We've been tested time and again. Others go astray and never come back. Others go into hiding too whenever he's in recluse. Some managed to forget him and become a fan of other stars. But there are others who remain loyal and stay with him no matter how long it takes.

In my case, I know what kind of BYJ fan I am. And like xiaoyanl, though a bit sad, I'll be waiting and will manage since I know that Yong Joon will be back soon to give us pleasure.

[Trans] [Not completely suffering] Reclusive YJ
Original : http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kz=581947513
Repost : www.byj.co.kr talkbox #56977 (in Chinese) by xiaoyanl
author : 裴莲儿 (2009-5-22 09:04)
Chinese to English : cam  

Recently someone from this website posted Mr Cai Kangyong’s famous diary . I try to reflect the article onto myself after reading it again. In the article it states: if you idolize a star, you must put it in writing – this I manage to do. It also states: if you idolize a star, you must let your mum know – this I manage to do (I did not just tell my mum, I even told my husband in a heat of the moment when I was not completely rational. Let’s put the seriously damaged consequences aside temporarily). It then states: if you idolize a star, you should go to see him in person – this I can’t manage to do, no matter how much I scratch my head to pieces, because my idol BYJ is in reclusion once more.

There has not been any news about YJ for a long while. Occasionally we get to hear that he has been to the library, the art museum, the dye factory and the salt mine to gather information and take photos. Often a few isolated words and phrases, at the most one or two blurred photos, in an attempt to provide a remedy for his fans’ lonely hearts.

It appears that reclusion is a convention for YJ. Like in the past, each time he finishes a project, he goes into hiding for a year or so. Wasn’t there a story about how after the peak of his drama “First Love” he was in reclusion for ten months? By the time he returned to the TV station, even the concierge at the entrance could not recognize him. This time around it has been over a year and a half, if we also count his recuperation from the injuries after TWSGG.

Although during this period, he made several magnificent appearances. In Japan twice, the MBC’s award ceremony twice, the ambassador of travel, the medal award presentation and the white tiger of TWSSG’s wedding. These appearances are far too little for his deserving fans that have been missing him deeply. Every time when the news about another wedding, we are like the nagging Ajima hoping he may turn up. But the end result is too often a no show amidst the crowd. No matter how disappointed his fans are. He stays far away like before, away from the aloofly noisy pla-ces and people. A recluse in his own world, leaving behind the soft clouds and light winds.

Honestly speaking, from this point of view, being a BYJ fan is really hard work. Recently I pop my head over to another popular star’s site (don’t kill me). This star is constantly appearing in public. He is promoting his new album straight after the TV drama. His next project of another TV drama and a movie are waiting for him in the pipeline. His news is reported one after another. His website is boiling, postings such as,”I am going to see him”, “I have seen him”, “I just returned and haven’t got over from feeling dizzy after seeing him” are all over the place. Various activities, video, artwork are everywhere, until our eyes can’t take it anymore. His fans are over indulging in happiness. I was following the lead, but at the same time, when I think about YJ, my heart feels somewhat quite lonesome.

Occasionally I even feel a bit resentful: YJ a, YJ, loving you is not an easy task.

Back to being a bit resentful, but truly in my mind it was clear that YJ’s excellence and how he stands out from the crowd, are his most precious qualities.

In this world, there is fewer and fewer who would handle matters in the same manner as BYJ in the entertainment industry. We could say it is fairly unique. New stars, more intense competitions. It is hard to stay at the top. Maintaining public appearance and popularity is most important. Fame and fortune come hand in hand. Just a simple truth. But this truth would not hold up when it comes to BYJ.

Fame and fortune is not BYJ’s aim, although he has been successful when compared with others. Improving himself continuously, enriching himself continuously and pursing self perfection continuously, are the utmost boundary for BYJ.

Since his debut, he has been behaving this way. Although this kind of individualism does not go down well with the trends and could trouble him frequently. A junior dares not participate in variety shows, dares not to accept interviews, ignoring piles of script offers. Doesn’t buy into others. In turn, he recedes and went off on a self education journey. He paid no attention to the TV station’s freeze and the media’s criticism. He continued enriching himself quietly, polishing himself, preparing himself for “the act with restraint on the bases of extensive knowledge”. Until one day, when he returned with a graceful smile and confident steps, as powerful as a thunderbolt. Hence forth standing at the summit, pointing and smiling at the world.

But his reclusion has not changed, live simply by wisely, live tranquilly by remotely. YJ knows the essence of it deeply.

Actually, without his continuous pursuit of self perfection and self improvement, we would not have such an enriched and unusually refined BYJ. It was said that there are lights of wisdom in his eyes, where do they come from? It was also said that there is this noble aura in his movements, how did he possess them?

Answer :
always have a book in his hand
Erudited and received in deep knowledge
Indifferent to fame and fortune
Without desire is firm and uncompromising

He is a contemporary reclusive star. He is someone that I admire, love and praise sincerely from my heart.

YJ a

You, like the mountains are high and the rivers are far, I will look from here, far across the distance.
You, like the tree of love stay evergreen, I will accompany you forever, stay true.

YJ a

Continuing your joyful reclusion. I can manage… sob sob.

look who were spotted attending a wedding...

I'm not sure whether this was today. ^^

Kim Hyun Joong and Goo Hye Sun were spotted attending a wedding ceremony. Hyun Joong looking like Yoon Ji Hoo in his suit and Hye Sun somehow still resembles Geum Jan Di in her attire. ^^

The groom is Hye Sun's manager in YG. He is Kim Eun Soo. Not sure if he's the manager of Big Bang as well. The manager must be a friend of Hyun Joong since he's around the celebrate the wonderful day with the couple. Wonder if TOP is around too? He's one of Hyun Joong's close friends in the industry.

Here are their photos which I lifted from dcinside.





On Bae Yong Joon & Kim Jae Joong

I was actually debating whether to post this here or not since I'm still looking for the original source of this news. I checked all the Baesites where I could possibly read this news but to no avail. But since this was already posted on korean photos forum @ soompi and allkpop, I thought of doing a post to give my 2 cents.

This is the post that I saw on soompi. [click to enlarge]

According to the article, Yong Joon is said to have passed on the the award as the Best Face in Asia and South Korea wherein he's been the recipient for the past eight [8] years to Kim Jae Joong of TVXQ. In the article it was written that Yong Joon said the best face "should always look handsome whenever you look at them, always look cute, always look pretty, to be chic and always look good."

Like what I said on BYJ thread @ soompi, did we miss any news? I haven't seen any news regarding this unless it's new and no one has posted it yet. According to the source it's from kbs.co.kr. Do you think that korean baesisters have missed this news?

Anyway, I'm into K-pop as well and lately I've been reading many articles mentioning the name of Yong Joon related to k-pop idols. He's been likened to Kim Hyun Joong, who is said to be the Little Bae Yong Joon. Last week there was an article about TOP wherein he's being compared by his PD in his telemovie '19' as the new BYJ. According to the PD, TOP resembles BYJ during his debut. Furthermore, the PD said that he has a fighting spirit like BYJ, e.i., he will not stop until he is satisfied with his acting..sounds familiar. [the news is in my draft but haven't had the chance to post it]

He was mentioned in several articles of Chung Lim who was a BOF contract artist until he realizes his dream to be a singer. The other recent article is that of 2AM's Seolong who happens to appear in one of Yong Joon's earlier CF and according to him Yong Joon somehow had influenced him to become an entertainer. Also Yong Joon's name has been in the articles of actors Kim Bum and Lee Min Hoo saying that they're likely to be the next Bae Yong Joon.

Hee, I don't have anything against the article, in fact it's very humbling of Yong Joon to pass on the award to Kim Jae Joong who happens to be one of my favorites too. But there is about the article that's bothering me. The description of handsome somehow doesn't fit the kind of words that Yong Joon would say at all. It's so vague. I don't know...

More Photos on Music High of Kim Hyun Joong

Found more pictures of Kim Hyun Joong on Music High where in he was the guest DJ of DJ Jjoon last May 23 from 2am to 3am.

DJ Jjoon [Kim Hyung Joon] in Music High

Every morning from 2am to 3am Hyung Joon is being DJ Jjoon in SBS Radio Power FM [107.7] Music High. He went on air last April 13.

Then on the 29th of April, webcam radio on Music High was introduced. What made it more exciting aside from pretty boy Hyung Joon was onthe guesting of another SS501 member, Park Jung Min [Tom and Jerry tandem to others].

I saw the video uploaded in YouTube sometime and here are the link. See how wacky these guys are.

Click HERE and HERE. For longer video [more than 9mins] click HERE.

I wish I can watch them live, I bet 2am would never be as lively seeing these 2.

After Jung Min, the next SS501 member to have guested in was Kim Kyu Jong. He went on air with DJ Jjoon last May 21st.

Here's four parts of May 21st Music High with Kyu Jong.

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4

Again, I may be sounding like a broken record but I find Kyu Jong getting wackier every time I see him.

Okay, who do you think will be the next SS501 member to guest? Young Saeng or Hyung Joong?
.
.

.
.

On May 23, that's a Saturday, at 2am to 3am, Music High will have an very adorkable guest DJ...it's no other than Leader, Kim Hyun Joong!

And here's a set of photos of Hyun Joong taken at the airport today from Jeju. Probably from the Hanradae Festival.



Here's a fan cam before you see Baby below arriving as well.



Here's Baby...



Looks like only the two of them went back. Haven't seen photos of Kim Kyu Jong, Park Jung Min and Heo Young Saeng.

Geez, can't wait to see photos and link on Sunday to see how funny these two guys are going to be.

Thanks to all YT uploaders.
