Once upon a time peddlers bring around wares on top of their heads or hanged them on a balance on the shoulder .They even bring their goods on your doorstep.That preceeded all door to door sales and deliveries. Now peddling has been upgraded and more accessible. Thanks to the wonders of internet technology that lets the buyer see the goods in their face (through the computer monitor). Or through television screens, giant billboard,walls of subways,sides of buses and magazines. Of course if the peddler goes by the name of Kim Hyun Joong … every buying must be a pleasant activity. Until you see your bills .

Every buy must be worth it if Hyun Joong, the marketer’s delight and darling endorses it .That is what CNN said was the result of their previous internal survey. It seemed his endorsement had spread over food, drinks, clothing outer and inner wear, shoes and accessories, beauty products, bags, credit cards, cellphone, camera, retailing, etc .Don’t forget he is also promoting his music album. Why, a few more and his endorsements can fill an entire department store.

But why him? Don’t just give me the obvious.Yes, he is very handsome,though he is photogenic,many say he is even more attractive personally.Did you also say he is a well known celebrity whose fans’ documentation of his activities puts to shame many stalkers combined not only in South Korea but in many countries as well? You’ve got it again! But there is more to that than meets the eye.

A celebrity is said to be an ideal human billboard. Ask marketers in India ,Taiwan and the United States whose celebrities keep their commerce humming and earning . Many times advertisements are by itself a form of entertainment -their concept, charming storylines , cute dialogues and the appearance of our beloved celebities pretty much round up why they are liked. Marketers choose celebrities who can clearly promise a dream, a lifestyle similar to theirs ,that seem attainable by using the products and services.

Celebrities are people of influence, they have abilities to start a trend,they have the reputation of being trustworthy in that what they are endorsing are what they really are. Do they like the products and actually use them ? It is hoped they do .

If you also notice celebrities are matched with the brand and the products. Kim Hyun Joong exudes the charm of the city man, they say. In his commercial he was able to project that persona looking chic, aloof and impersonal for Fall . All he needs to do is knit his brows, look solemn with a dark face. There you’ve got your man! You want your message that Spring is the season of buds blossoming and the atmosphere becoming bright and cheerful , no worries Kim Hyun Joong’s smile can thaw the remaining snow of Mt Halla. Winter? You already feel cuddly warm knowing it is the sweater or jacket that Hyun Joong wrapped his body with. Summer is funtime to travel.Go! Hyun Joong is waiting for you in Seoul. Lest I forget, his flawless skin makes women envious if not insecure. Well, facial products are within your reach and Hyun Joong’s standee is even there watching over you .

The psychology of it is, if you like him you must like what he is selling . This is clearly transfer of affection from the star to the product. Or put another way ,the star has the halo effect on the product.Eventually he and the product meld into one.Is he credible? They will not say he’s got the midas touch if his endorsement does not translate into more sales.Businessmen who are crunching numbers cannot be indifferent to that.

Arrrgh, the closest now I can get to my Hyun joong is a pack of noodles he endorsed before. Hmmm, a steaming bowl of noodles and Hyun Joong in my mind . I’m in heaven .

[Article] Kim Hyun Joong: Swinging It Between Dance and Soccer

or Dance and Sport , Long Lost Siblings ?


Fanarts by Lina Perez
Have you ever wondered why Kim Hyun Joong does soccer when he is not dancing ? Many people believe it is to relieve tension and stress he accumulates when preparing and doing his dance music performances . His team Artmatic even “complained” and ask why he would still like to play soccer after the rigorous practices they had for his Breakdown -his solo award winning dance music number. Most people would say he should be resting instead . But wait he also does soccer after performances . Is he just so competition driven that he must also win in this niche?

Or maybe Hyun Joong knows something we don’t .

Common sense tells us that sport and dancing are two different fields. The former is played, the latter is performed . Is it all a matter of semantics or the differences real ? Or are they more similar actually but also world apart ?

Sports, Wikipedia says , is all about physical activities and skills of individuals or groups competing according to rules . Well ,dancing is also about physically demanding activities done with skills of individuals and groups and also up for competition . Dancing became a sport for the International Olympic Committee in 1997 though dance competition is said to have started a century and a few years ago in Europe .

Dances have moods to project and dancers use grace in their positions, steps and body language. Most of all dancers unlike athletes(who are allowed to groan and grimace all they want. They can be violent ,too) must make it look as if it was the easiest thing to do and totally enjoy doing it as well. The thing is we were not there when KHJ and his team did their Breakdown 100 times before their MV was satisfactorily done , bloodied knees and all . We were just given their final output, hip gyrations ,flailing arms and body in top gears on video and later on stage . Macho Bravo! On top of that of course the popular and much loved Hyun Joong still has to sing .

Both practitioners can benefit from engaging in each other ‘s activities. Kim Hyun Joong is both dancer and athlete and he knows soccer and dancing complement each other (so Artmatic members stop complaining, will you?). Soccer is said to be a good conditioning activity for dancers . In soccer as in dancing, the players have specific jobs and roles to do, decision making to reach if needed . Soccer playing provides the agility,strength and balance needed in dancing. Dancing does the same to athletes as it is also a workout in cardiovascular area, timing, form , poise and most of all to smile and be gracious under fire .

Kinesthesiology expert Dr J McNitt cited in Sociology Of Sport (www.Jsyk.com) said thanks to all the training , dancers though they may be all smiles, are the world’s toughest athlete .

So next time you see Hyun Joong playing soccer, let him be , he is just doing the right thing . Reap the benefits when you see him again on stage !

Do visit her blog…as usual, thanks April!

or Why Do we laugh ?

Have you seen and heard Hyun Joong laugh ?


Hyun Joong laughing when he does that rolling on the floor , falling off his chair is a special matter.Even if you don’t see his face and he is on the background ,but just the sound of his peals of laughter can be heard, you know it’s him . Did his laughter make your heart smile ?I bet it did.

He is one good specie to come out of human evolution. For laughing is a good communication tool and message -even before we learned to talk .Babies’ laughter are the best sound in the world. Because it is a social act, it is usually done with company . Of course you can laugh alone but the likelihood of doing it with somebody is 30 times more according to Previne who did a study on why we laugh .

And seeing somebody laugh is contagious . I laughed .We laughed when Hyun Joong was hysterically laughing even if we didn’t understand what it was all about .

Laughter is a good stress reliever because as your blood vessels open due to it ,your tension eases . Laughter is also a social binder . We are attracted to people who laugh easily who has a good sense of humor and of course if dashed with wittiness ,you triple the fun . Am I describing Hyun Joong ? You know the answer .Laughter is often called the best medicine . Remember the clown doctors who cater to the pyschosocial needs of their patients ? We even pay to get a good laugh in comedy acts . We enjoy watching sitcoms .

There are many types of laughing experts will tell you : sinister and evil laughing ,nervous laughing, embarrased laughing, crazy laughing ,etc. Spontaneous and nonspontaneous laughing kinds .But they are meant to bind co-horts together .

Making people laugh is also a serious occupation .Think of comedians,clowns,court jesters, comedy gag writers ,actors who make a livelihood with this forte . But there is a downside to laughing . Too much laughing trigger asthma attack and worse is when cardiac arrest is brought on . Now that’s no laughing matter .What a way to meet one’s Maker though I have yet to see a tombstone that says ‘here lies somebody who laughed hardest’.

As for Hyun Joong, I’m sure he laughs for all the funny reasons . I don’t think it includes laughing all the way to the bank .

Both close acquaintances born in the year 1986, Kim HyunJoong & Park Yoochun are carrying out their active activities as an 'Hanryu Stars'.

Kim HyunJoong & Park Yoochun both had gained the title of Hanryu Actors through the drama 'Boys Over Flowers' and 'Sungkyunkwan Scandal' respectively. In addition, both of them are also the members of SS501 and TVXQ which both groups were the leader of K-pop to bring the Hanryu wave to overseas.  

Debuting from the idol group SS501, Kim HyunJoong had participated in the drama 'Boys Over Flowers' in year 2009, and after that, he joined Bae YongJoon's agency, KeyEast, which then, he earned the title '2nd Bae Yongjoon'.

To add on, Kim HyunJoong have also made his music comeback on last June 2011, releasing his first solo mini album 'Break Down', and also had launched his promotions in Japan, China and etc. What's more was his title track 'Break Down' have also swept the 1st place in many music ranking charts across Asia like Japan 'Oricon' chart, Taiwan (G-Music/5 Music), Philippines' ASTRO chart, Thailand's Channel V, HongKong's KKbox, and many other countries as well.

Furthermore, he had once again proven himself as a Hanryu star through his promotions in many Asia countries as a solo singer on August 2011 in countries like Japan, Vietnam, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia etc.
Recently, Kim HyunJoong have also endorsed for the Japanese brand 'HeatFact', and have also proven his high level popularity in China through his participation in '2011 Very Perfect Shenzhen Concert' on 16th of September along with other top Chinese stars.

As Kim HyunJoong had revealed, he will be kicking off his Asia Tour concert starting this upcoming December.
On the other hand, Park Yoochun is also very well-received by many international fans as a singer and actor.

Through his first drama debut 'Sungkyunkwan Scandal', Park Yoochun received the Asia Most Popular Actor Awards in 'Seoul Drama Awards 2011' that was held last August. He had also held his first solo fanmeeting in Thailand on 17th of September to promote 'Sungkyunkwan Scandal'. This is the first time he held a fanmeeting as a actor, unlike many fanmeetings he have held together with JYJ in their world tour.

In the upcoming October, Park Yoochun will be striving the Hanryu wave into Europe. Together with his members, JYJ had launched their world tour concerts in 9 different countries since last April, and this time, it will be an exclusive performance they will be holding in Europe.

On 29th of October, JYJ will hold their first Europe concert in Spain at Palau Sant Jordi Stadium. They are also be planning to meet their fans in Germany on 6th of November.

In fact, Kim HyunJoong and Park Yoochun are known as close friends in the entertainment industry. From their singing debut to their drama acting debut, they had unfold a series of friendly competition between them, it really makes people wondering whether if both of them can reach a 'win-win' situation as a Hanryu stars in the future.

[Trans] Hyun Joong – Trendy No. 27


English translation: Lichi @ www.liezle.blogspot.com



Date.1 Date with KHJ for afternoon tea.

[p26]
Date: 2011/8/14 evening Location: Taipei Far East Plaza Hotel
Taiwanese fans have been waiting for 2 years, finally Kim Hyun Joong visited Taiwan with his new album.Trendy who competed for getting the precious chance to interview exclusively should treat this long-time-no-see good friend well. In order to let Kim Hyun Joong have a good afternoon tea date, Trendy prepared many foodstuffs full of Taiwanese flavors with hearts. Seeing the snacks occupied the whole table, HJ said happily, But when he took up the Bubble Tea, he asked with subtle expression in a sudden, ” WOW, there are so many snacks.” ” Is Bubble Tea made of tea? ” He saw Trendy nodding, and took a big swallow, and said, From the previous impressions, Trendy thought Hyun Joong doesn’t quite like Bubble Tea, so we asked him out of curiosity. ” It’s good!”” I thought it was coffee! Because I don’t drink coffee, I didn’t try it. But after trying it, beyond my expectation, it’s really good.” HJ answered with helplessness, and people all laughed out loud. Gosh, indeed the 4D HyunJoong, we actually told you it’s a kind of drink combining tea and milk at the very first time!

[p29]
Before the start of interview, Trendy chatted with HJ about the HIVE FIVE event which just ended. To the downpour, HJ said in a good mood, ” I’m happy to meet with fans. It’s fine with raining. I’ve got used to it. It seems that it would rain whenever I visited Taiwan. It also rained during my last visit.” Trendy told HJ Taiwanese proverb has it that “someone who goes with rain is a rich man”. He couldn’t help but laugh out loud after listening to it, and said with nods, ” Seriously~that’s wonderful! ” And this afternoon tea date started with the good smell of food and HJ’s laughing.

Trendy: Parting for 2 years, you visit Taiwan again. How do u feel?
HJ: Although it’s not very long in term of 2 years, but I feel it’s like a long time. This visit to Taiwan I see long-time-no-see fans again, and everyone is still very passionate welcoming me and supporting me. It makes me energetic, and the thought of organizing a concert is burning. (read: can’t wait to realize it) But the event just now, it really rained cats and dogs, fans should be drenched with much rain, I hope they won’t get cold. In addition, when I spoke, it would thunder. Was it that everyone couldn’t hear me at all? Because whenever I spoke, it rumbled. But it’s a very special experience. (lol)

[p30]
Trendy: The solo mini album “Break Down”, it has great results both in Korea and in Taiwan, plz introduce the album to us. Which song do you want to recommend in this album?
HJ: “Break Down” is for conveying the image of Kim HyunJoong different from the past to everyone. I hope to transform to a more masculine and more matured man from the image of being a young idol singer. Therefore, I want the genres of songs and the choreography could be presented like this. Hmmm…the most recommended song is definitely “Break Down”, I would recommend “KISS KISS”, too. Although it’s a livelier song, but the cuteness of it is not just pure and innocent, how to say…..should be like ” wanting to be in love, the cuteness in rather mature.”

Trendy: Besides being a singer, you also have drama works, to HJ, what’s the most interesting part respectively?
HJ: Being a singer, in order to fully convey my own work, I have to do my best to sing, to show my charm and to dominate the atmosphere on stage. The performance and domination on stage are not only the big challenge but the most interesting part to a singer. As for being an actor is to interpret another person. Not KHJ, it’s to play another person, I have to study and perform another person’s life and the way of speech…and so on. I think it’s very interesting to me.
Trendy: Except being a singer and an actor, what else do u still want to challenge?
HJ: Hmmm, currently no. Because these two works have been quite big burdens to me, haha~

[p32]
KHJ’s vacation island puzzle?
Since U:ZOOSIN said he wanted to come to Taiwan for vacation, Trendy had to ask for everyone where it would be exactly. Asked HJ if it was Penghu, U:ZOOSIN nim thought for 3 seconds with his head tilting, and nodded. But he added with no certain, ” Is it famous for snorkeling there?” So was it Green Island? But he added, ” Is there surfing over there?” So actually HJ wanted to go to Kenting? Until the end of interview, where U:ZOOSIN wanted to go for vacation was still a puzzle.

[p34]
Trendy: Guangzhou Asian Game last year, HJ challenged to sing Chinese songs. What’s the most difficult part in singing Chinese songs? Was there anything interesting during practice or special tips? Will you consider to challenge to sing Chinese songs in the future albums?
HJ: Pronunciations! The pronunciations of Chinese are really difficult. There was no tips in practice, just kept listening to it repeatedly everyday. Before the performance I kept listening for 2 months. Until now I still remember the lyrics, (lol). If I want to challenge Chinese songs, I supposed lots of practice in need. But currently I would like to challenge different genres of Korean songs. No matter is it interpreting the emotions in songs or other stuffs, I would show various sides of KHJ. This is what I’d like to do well now.

Trendy: The theme for photo shooting this time is afternoon tea date, does HJ have any unforgettable experience for afternoon tea?
HJ: Because I don’t drink coffee and seldom have tea as well, I rarely have experiences with friends for afternoon tea. And I usually meet up with friends for having meals or drinking alcohols together. If not having coffee or tea, I guess it would be weird just chatting over water only. (tilting his head and said in all seriousness)

Trendy: HJ works as busy as a bee for new album promotion, if you can go for vacation, what would u like to do?
HJ: I’ve been really busy that I almost can’t go home. (Can’t help but wave his head) When it comes to vacation, actually I always want to go to Taiwan. I’m serious. I’ve done the research. There are many beautiful small islands and beaches in southern Taiwan, where to go fishing, snorkeling and many other water activities. I’ve planned well initially, but because of the weather at that time, and my agency thought it was too dangerous, so it had to be called off. What a pity! (Head down rubbing hands with regretful and sad expression)

[p36]

Trendy: The album promotion in Korea has been wrapped up, and begin to visit other Asian countries to meet with fans. Could HJ reveal in advance what the following plan is?
HJ: I’m preparing the second mini album releasing in October. The tour in Japan might be kicked off in November. From the end of this year to next February, I would start the Asia Tour for concerts hopefully, Taiwan is included definitely. If there is a chance to go to America, it would be a international tour. Next, maybe in April, there is drama shooting and it might end in July……(HJ spoke with smile over watched Trendy taking note down with efforts, was he supervised Trendy if writing any wrong word?) And the following would be another album production…(In order to take down all HJ’s schedule, Trendy’s writing hand was so weary, and couldn’t help but say, “There’s no time for vacation being this way.”)
HJ: Hmm…Yes~I would make do with it. Like this visit to Taiwan, during the break, I’ll take it as being in vacation in mind. (lol)

Trendy: HJ determined to be a singer, and now is a popular singer-and-actor with recognition, many people’s idol as well. HJ can be called the successful sample in seeking the dreams. During the process in seeking the dreams, what does HJ think the most important? Any advice to the youth who is also seeking the dreams?

HJ: It’s too late! If still just thinking of seeking the dreams, it has been late for many steps already. Suppose not just thinking, should take actions right away. No matter is it being a singer or seeking other dreams, do it right away! Do the best to practice, or work harder in studying, either of which get to start soon. Take being a singer for example, actually everyone can be a singer. As long as releasing an album would be called a singer. But what kind of singer do u want to be? That’s the most important thing!

Trendy: To the future, what kind of goal or expectation does HJ have to self?
HJ: Hmm……I will still work hard on being a good singer-and-actor, and get to challenge many different stuffs, to let everyone see KHJ’s various appearances. I hope to become someone who enjoys the life as well, to enjoy and experience well every different moment in life, to lead a interesting life!
[p37]

Tidbit:
Because the time for interview this time was followed right after “HIVE FIVE Event”, all members in Trendy were commanded and set out in 2 teams to different locations! Even though separating in 2 groups, neither of which could escape from the downpour in the afternoon. When it rained cats and dogs, everyone in Trendy laughed, just like what HJ said, “has got used to it already.”
Although being drenched, on the scene for photo shooting and interview, HJ always wore a smile and was so kind with 100% cooperation, which made everyone has good mood just like in the sunny days, not like being drenched just now. During the break for photo shooting, HJ hummed the songs at times or practice the choreography in the corner as usual. Of course the 4D behaviors couldn’t be less, always until everyone couldn’t help but laughed out loud, and he looked confused. He didn’t tell jokes or do something comical on purpose, and he was just being himself. Although it’s been a while since last meeting, he still remains the pure and bright expression in eyes. In spite of being more matured already, and he expects himself to be more matured, but he still shows the childlike facial expression carelessly. Just because HJ doesn’t disguise himself and shows his true nature, that’s why there is no way not to love him!
U:ZOOSIN promised to be back to organize a concert in the end of this year. Although we shouldn’t expect that it might rain heavily at that time, however, believe that everyone has been expecting this handsome and charming U:ZOOSIN’s next visit with smile. Oh time, please run faster, cos we can’t wait!!!!

Behind the scene:
(in order from left to right, from top to bottom)
[liezle : sorry as I don't have a copy of the magazine i don't know which photo goes to which caption. so if there's anyone who wishes to let me know please do so. thanks!)

[p38-39]

1. Although his schedule in Taiwan was arranged tightly during this visit, we had to carry on the shooting in the hotel due to the restriction of time. However, it didn’t decrease U:ZOOSIN’s handsomeness and brightness at all!
2. After listening to Trendy explain the special project this time, HJ learned that the photo shooting would be carried on the big round table. Before the staff was able to grab a chair for him, we just saw HJ to get upon the table in a flash with a handsome action of turning over. Maybe he was pretty satisfied with his agile action, HJ wore a childlike smile, and it made all staffs laugh.
3. His true nature of 4D isn’t changed. During the photo shooting, he did his tricks silently all along. First, he put the apple hold by him for photo shooting on the fire to grill it, and next, he tried to blow the fire off in a far distance. U:ZOOSIN nim, were u either hungry or tested your vital capacity?
4. The truth behind being with HJ for the romantic afternoon tea time?! Actually who surrounded U:ZOOSIN were Trendy and Korean photographers.
5. HJ’s the second episode of 4D! Well……r u on the phone? Haha~ (HJ covered his right-side ear with a coffee cup.)
6. Although it was raining with the incredible thunderstorm in the afternoon outside, but watched his bright smile, it was like an universe big sunny day in mind.

[p40-41]

7. HJ tilted the head to check the condition of photo shooting just a moment ago. Even his back was so cute that made people couldn’t help but lift up the corner of mouth.
8. During the interview, Korean photographers were capturing every image of HJ seriously.
9. For those Taiwanese snacks Trendy prepared specially, HJ listened to the introduction in all seriousness, and got to close to observe with curiosity at times.
10. Asked him which one to try first? It seems it was hard to choose for HJ, so he frowned a little.
11. The top 1 of U:ZOOSIN’s favorite Taiwanese special foodstuff is Bubble Tea.
12. Still Bubble Tea (He’s drinking it)
13. The chat after the interview, Trendy asked HJ if he becomes even thinner. HJ: ” Do I look thinner? Probably because I’m getting old, the baby fat is all gone!” He also laughed right after he finished his speech. The smile was the kind with glee and naughty expression.

Date.2 Date with KHJ for afternoon tea.

U:ZOOSIN Kim Hyun Joong, who haven’t visited us for 2 years, finally landed Taiwan again. During the 4D3N schedule, he was in the Hi5 Touch Event with fans in the downpour, and answered truthfully people’s questions to U:ZOOSIN in the press conference, also did the drawing for the personality tests to share his inner world and humor of 4D. The fansigning event held by the Korean cosmetics he endorses for attracted numerous fans, of which he saw Taiwanese fans’ love and passion to him in person. Trendy was witness to U:ZOOSIN’s charming out of sincerity all the way, and expects sincerely with everyone for KHJ’s next visit for his Asia Tour coming soon.

The fanmeeting along with downpour, lightning and thundering.
Date: 2011/8/14
Location: Taipei Hankyu Department Square
Event: 2011 HIGH FIVE TOUCH Taipei Fanmeeting

The first public schedule after he alighted from the plane was to meet every GreenPea Princess in “2011 HIGH FIVE TOUCH Fanmeeting”. Although it started officially at 3pm, fans still gathered at Dream Square in the early morning for the good spot to watch long-time-no-see KHJ. Before the event was started, it was packed with the crowds everywhere. In addition to many creative fan boards, we saw the printed cards being green in color surrounding all over the place. Everyone obeyed the rules for safety, no one was in uproar, believing that it’s because people had nothing in mind except watching KHJ.
We didn’t expect that the sky eventually couldn’t hold back the rain drops, 20 minutes before KHJ arrived, it rained cats and dogs. In the fanmeeting, when Ken just appeared on the stage looking at the downpour, couldn’t help but say, ” That’s the way it is…Because he’s U:ZOOSIN! ” of which people all had approval smiles. And then KHJ appeared on the stage, it’s like he didn’t want to let people wait too long, so he ran towards the stage fast. The vest with the plaid shirt made KHJ look very energetic, and the short blond hair being rare on him looked very refreshing. Right after he finished the speech, ” Hello everyone, I am Kim Hyun Joong. (in Chinese)”, it rumbled right away, of which it increased U:ZOOSIN’s force inadvertently. The following was to talk about his future work plan, but whenever he opened his mouth, it rumbled. KHJ also burst into laughing. He repeatedly said that, everyone was drenched by the rain and would feel uncomfortable for sure, truly very grateful for everyone being here in the event to support. KHJ who always has affection for his fans made the Hi5ing upgrade to handshaking. Just saw him who extended his hand initially with smile to all the lucky fans who won the lucky draw, and had the eye contacts with them. Believing that they would feel that all the waiting was worthwhile at the moment.

KHJ’s elegant manners and charming sweeping across in the press conference
Date: 2011/8/15

Location: Taipei Far East Plaza Hotel
Event: KHJ in Taiwan The Great Chinese Region Press Conference
The second day after landing Taiwan, KHJ carried on the press conference in Taipei Far East Plaza Hotel. Dressing in the black suit with open-collard shirt, which made the thin figure look extremely slender and handsome, and also staider comparing to the previous visits.
In the press conference, despite the session for fans to ask questions, KHJ also talked about many inner thoughts, of which it was very precious. Moreover, through drawing for the personality tests, people could get to peek his inner world.

U:ZOOSIN, I Got A Question!
In the press conference, Warner Music prepared the fans’ I-GOT-A-QUESTION videos, and let the sassy questions from fans have the chance to be seen and heard by KHJ. In order to catch U:ZOOSIN’s attention, fans put their best foot forward in the videos! The fan cosplaying a ghost asked KHJ if there were scary preternatural events happening during the album recording or MV shooting. Beyond the expectation, KHJ revealed that he has sensitive body physique, so he has ever felt the existence of that kind of things before. However, he said he didn’t run across any over the album production and MV shooting. And comparing to ghosts, the difficult choreography he has danced for hundred times was even scarier. After the MV shooting was finished, himself and dancers all got sick. However, because of this, he didn’t get nervous performing on stage anymore. KHJ’s speech of ” MV shooting was scarier than ghosts” made people on the scene couldn’t stop laughing in the press conference.

Predicting and analyzing U:ZOOSIN
Ken kept asking him, and KHJ revealed the feeling for visiting Taiwan this time, ” Really appreciate that people don’t forget me and welcome me passionately!” Also he said that he doesn’t mind being called 4D, and the reason he named himself U:ZOOSIN is because he hopes everyone can be very blessed, including the entire universe could be blessed! In the press conference, he revealed that yesterday he was served Shanghi cuisine, and every dish was delicious, so he ate up all. But he still concerned with Xiao Long Bao, and said with smile that he could have that at night, felt very happy.

The following was that Ken requested KHJ to do the drawing, including houses, ducks, fences, trees, the sun, the moon, rocks, roads, and mountains on the paper. Through the drawing personality test to find out U:ZOOSIN’s inner world. Among which Ken laughed at the not-so-well-drawn duck, KHJ answered with no hesitation, “That’s the way Korean ducks look like,” which made people all burst into laughing. From the drawing, it could be interpreted that KHJ would be a good man who is in good relationship with his family and would take care of it. Moreover, he would see the other half on the same position as him and have no Chauvinism. And the tree would represent the number of friends, the host watched the few trees and then looked at KHJ. KHJ said because he drew many fruits on the trees, he would have many friends, of which it caused a sea of laughter. From the drawing, despite that his career could be interpreted to be as high as the sun, and it predicts that the kids would be another turning point for his career. Is it accurate or not on earth? Really curious.

U:ZOOSIN’s Inner World
The second drawing personality test also was answered in a sea of laughter. From the drawing, it could be interpreted that KHJ would be considered someone often with smile by his family, and KHJ also nodded with saying he thought so as well. The blank which represented the future spouse was drawn with a candy, so the host Ken said she would be a sweet person. The blank for the future direction was drawn with an arrow pointing upward, so everyone all agreed that his career would still keep soaring up to the sky in the future. However, the blank representing for what kind of person KHJ would be in other people’s eyes was drawn with the no smoking sign, of which the host couldn’t help but ask if he was a serious person. KHJ said he’s a little bit serious, but definitely not strict. The blank for the truest self was drawn with a clock, KHJ said seriously, “Yes, can’t stop working, no time for the rest.” The blank for the current state was drawn with picked yellow radish, KHJ explained, ” Picked yellow radish is the required side dish for Zha Jiang Mein in Korea, of which it means sacrificing oneself to achieve a greater goal.”, of which it earned applause for this cute U:ZOOSIN.
In the end of the press conference, KHJ wore a sincere smile and said that he felt sorry for no performances on stage during this visit, and hoped to dedicate the best performance to everyone in the concert. To add on, he also mentioned his affection to fans for the raining and thundering yesterday and his appreciations to them. Moreover, he said he would work hard on preparing for the new album, and thanked for everyone’s support and love.

Once upon a time peddlers bring around wares on top of their heads or hanged them on a balance on the shoulder .They even bring their goods on your doorstep.That preceeded all door to door sales and deliveries. Now peddling has been upgraded and more accessible. Thanks to the wonders of internet technology that lets the buyer see the goods in their face (through the computer monitor). Or through television screens, giant billboard,walls of subways,sides of buses and magazines. Of course if the peddler goes by the name of Kim Hyun Joong … every buying must be a pleasant activity. Until you see your bills .

Every buy must be worth it if Hyun Joong, the marketer’s delight and darling endorses it .That is what CNN said was the result of their previous internal survey. It seemed his endorsement had spread over food, drinks, clothing outer and inner wear, shoes and accessories, beauty products, bags, credit cards, cellphone, camera, retailing, etc .Don’t forget he is also promoting his music album. Why, a few more and his endorsements can fill an entire department store.

But why him? Don’t just give me the obvious.Yes, he is very handsome,though he is photogenic,many say he is even more attractive personally.Did you also say he is a well known celebrity whose fans’ documentation of his activities puts to shame many stalkers combined not only in South Korea but in many countries as well? You’ve got it again! But there is more to that than meets the eye.

A celebrity is said to be an ideal human billboard. Ask marketers in India ,Taiwan and the United States whose celebrities keep their commerce humming and earning . Many times advertisements are by itself a form of entertainment -their concept, charming storylines , cute dialogues and the appearance of our beloved celebities pretty much round up why they are liked. Marketers choose celebrities who can clearly promise a dream, a lifestyle similar to theirs ,that seem attainable by using the products and services.

Celebrities are people of influence, they have abilities to start a trend,they have the reputation of being trustworthy in that what they are endorsing are what they really are. Do they like the products and actually use them ? It is hoped they do .

If you also notice celebrities are matched with the brand and the products. Kim Hyun Joong exudes the charm of the city man, they say. In his commercial he was able to project that persona looking chic, aloof and impersonal for Fall . All he needs to do is knit his brows, look solemn with a dark face. There you’ve got your man! You want your message that Spring is the season of buds blossoming and the atmosphere becoming bright and cheerful , no worries Kim Hyun Joong’s smile can thaw the remaining snow of Mt Halla. Winter? You already feel cuddly warm knowing it is the sweater or jacket that Hyun Joong wrapped his body with. Summer is funtime to travel.Go! Hyun Joong is waiting for you in Seoul. Lest I forget, his flawless skin makes women envious if not insecure. Well, facial products are within your reach and Hyun Joong’s standee is even there watching over you .

The psychology of it is, if you like him you must like what he is selling . This is clearly transfer of affection from the star to the product. Or put another way ,the star has the halo effect on the product.Eventually he and the product meld into one.Is he credible? They will not say he’s got the midas touch if his endorsement does not translate into more sales.Businessmen who are crunching numbers cannot be indifferent to that.

Arrrgh, the closest now I can get to my Hyun joong is a pack of noodles he endorsed before. Hmmm, a steaming bowl of noodles and Hyun Joong in my mind . I’m in heaven .

[Article] Kim Hyun Joong: Swinging It Between Dance and Soccer

or Dance and Sport , Long Lost Siblings ?


Fanarts by Lina Perez
Have you ever wondered why Kim Hyun Joong does soccer when he is not dancing ? Many people believe it is to relieve tension and stress he accumulates when preparing and doing his dance music performances . His team Artmatic even “complained” and ask why he would still like to play soccer after the rigorous practices they had for his Breakdown -his solo award winning dance music number. Most people would say he should be resting instead . But wait he also does soccer after performances . Is he just so competition driven that he must also win in this niche?

Or maybe Hyun Joong knows something we don’t .

Common sense tells us that sport and dancing are two different fields. The former is played, the latter is performed . Is it all a matter of semantics or the differences real ? Or are they more similar actually but also world apart ?

Sports, Wikipedia says , is all about physical activities and skills of individuals or groups competing according to rules . Well ,dancing is also about physically demanding activities done with skills of individuals and groups and also up for competition . Dancing became a sport for the International Olympic Committee in 1997 though dance competition is said to have started a century and a few years ago in Europe .

Dances have moods to project and dancers use grace in their positions, steps and body language. Most of all dancers unlike athletes(who are allowed to groan and grimace all they want. They can be violent ,too) must make it look as if it was the easiest thing to do and totally enjoy doing it as well. The thing is we were not there when KHJ and his team did their Breakdown 100 times before their MV was satisfactorily done , bloodied knees and all . We were just given their final output, hip gyrations ,flailing arms and body in top gears on video and later on stage . Macho Bravo! On top of that of course the popular and much loved Hyun Joong still has to sing .

Both practitioners can benefit from engaging in each other ‘s activities. Kim Hyun Joong is both dancer and athlete and he knows soccer and dancing complement each other (so Artmatic members stop complaining, will you?). Soccer is said to be a good conditioning activity for dancers . In soccer as in dancing, the players have specific jobs and roles to do, decision making to reach if needed . Soccer playing provides the agility,strength and balance needed in dancing. Dancing does the same to athletes as it is also a workout in cardiovascular area, timing, form , poise and most of all to smile and be gracious under fire .

Kinesthesiology expert Dr J McNitt cited in Sociology Of Sport (www.Jsyk.com) said thanks to all the training , dancers though they may be all smiles, are the world’s toughest athlete .

So next time you see Hyun Joong playing soccer, let him be , he is just doing the right thing . Reap the benefits when you see him again on stage !

Do visit her blog…as usual, thanks April!

or Why Do we laugh ?

Have you seen and heard Hyun Joong laugh ?


Hyun Joong laughing when he does that rolling on the floor , falling off his chair is a special matter.Even if you don’t see his face and he is on the background ,but just the sound of his peals of laughter can be heard, you know it’s him . Did his laughter make your heart smile ?I bet it did.

He is one good specie to come out of human evolution. For laughing is a good communication tool and message -even before we learned to talk .Babies’ laughter are the best sound in the world. Because it is a social act, it is usually done with company . Of course you can laugh alone but the likelihood of doing it with somebody is 30 times more according to Previne who did a study on why we laugh .

And seeing somebody laugh is contagious . I laughed .We laughed when Hyun Joong was hysterically laughing even if we didn’t understand what it was all about .

Laughter is a good stress reliever because as your blood vessels open due to it ,your tension eases . Laughter is also a social binder . We are attracted to people who laugh easily who has a good sense of humor and of course if dashed with wittiness ,you triple the fun . Am I describing Hyun Joong ? You know the answer .Laughter is often called the best medicine . Remember the clown doctors who cater to the pyschosocial needs of their patients ? We even pay to get a good laugh in comedy acts . We enjoy watching sitcoms .

There are many types of laughing experts will tell you : sinister and evil laughing ,nervous laughing, embarrased laughing, crazy laughing ,etc. Spontaneous and nonspontaneous laughing kinds .But they are meant to bind co-horts together .

Making people laugh is also a serious occupation .Think of comedians,clowns,court jesters, comedy gag writers ,actors who make a livelihood with this forte . But there is a downside to laughing . Too much laughing trigger asthma attack and worse is when cardiac arrest is brought on . Now that’s no laughing matter .What a way to meet one’s Maker though I have yet to see a tombstone that says ‘here lies somebody who laughed hardest’.

As for Hyun Joong, I’m sure he laughs for all the funny reasons . I don’t think it includes laughing all the way to the bank .

Both close acquaintances born in the year 1986, Kim HyunJoong & Park Yoochun are carrying out their active activities as an 'Hanryu Stars'.

Kim HyunJoong & Park Yoochun both had gained the title of Hanryu Actors through the drama 'Boys Over Flowers' and 'Sungkyunkwan Scandal' respectively. In addition, both of them are also the members of SS501 and TVXQ which both groups were the leader of K-pop to bring the Hanryu wave to overseas.  

Debuting from the idol group SS501, Kim HyunJoong had participated in the drama 'Boys Over Flowers' in year 2009, and after that, he joined Bae YongJoon's agency, KeyEast, which then, he earned the title '2nd Bae Yongjoon'.

To add on, Kim HyunJoong have also made his music comeback on last June 2011, releasing his first solo mini album 'Break Down', and also had launched his promotions in Japan, China and etc. What's more was his title track 'Break Down' have also swept the 1st place in many music ranking charts across Asia like Japan 'Oricon' chart, Taiwan (G-Music/5 Music), Philippines' ASTRO chart, Thailand's Channel V, HongKong's KKbox, and many other countries as well.

Furthermore, he had once again proven himself as a Hanryu star through his promotions in many Asia countries as a solo singer on August 2011 in countries like Japan, Vietnam, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia etc.
Recently, Kim HyunJoong have also endorsed for the Japanese brand 'HeatFact', and have also proven his high level popularity in China through his participation in '2011 Very Perfect Shenzhen Concert' on 16th of September along with other top Chinese stars.

As Kim HyunJoong had revealed, he will be kicking off his Asia Tour concert starting this upcoming December.
On the other hand, Park Yoochun is also very well-received by many international fans as a singer and actor.

Through his first drama debut 'Sungkyunkwan Scandal', Park Yoochun received the Asia Most Popular Actor Awards in 'Seoul Drama Awards 2011' that was held last August. He had also held his first solo fanmeeting in Thailand on 17th of September to promote 'Sungkyunkwan Scandal'. This is the first time he held a fanmeeting as a actor, unlike many fanmeetings he have held together with JYJ in their world tour.

In the upcoming October, Park Yoochun will be striving the Hanryu wave into Europe. Together with his members, JYJ had launched their world tour concerts in 9 different countries since last April, and this time, it will be an exclusive performance they will be holding in Europe.

In fact, Kim HyunJoong and Park Yoochun are known as close friends in the entertainment industry. From their singing debut to their drama acting debut, they had unfold a series of friendly competition between them, it really makes people wondering whether if both of them can reach a 'win-win' situation as a Hanryu stars in the future.

[Trans] Hyun Joong – Trendy No. 27


English translation: Lichi @ www.liezle.blogspot.com



Date.1 Date with KHJ for afternoon tea.

[p26]
Date: 2011/8/14 evening Location: Taipei Far East Plaza Hotel
Taiwanese fans have been waiting for 2 years, finally Kim Hyun Joong visited Taiwan with his new album.Trendy who competed for getting the precious chance to interview exclusively should treat this long-time-no-see good friend well. In order to let Kim Hyun Joong have a good afternoon tea date, Trendy prepared many foodstuffs full of Taiwanese flavors with hearts. Seeing the snacks occupied the whole table, HJ said happily, But when he took up the Bubble Tea, he asked with subtle expression in a sudden, ” WOW, there are so many snacks.” ” Is Bubble Tea made of tea? ” He saw Trendy nodding, and took a big swallow, and said, From the previous impressions, Trendy thought Hyun Joong doesn’t quite like Bubble Tea, so we asked him out of curiosity. ” It’s good!”” I thought it was coffee! Because I don’t drink coffee, I didn’t try it. But after trying it, beyond my expectation, it’s really good.” HJ answered with helplessness, and people all laughed out loud. Gosh, indeed the 4D HyunJoong, we actually told you it’s a kind of drink combining tea and milk at the very first time!

[p29]
Before the start of interview, Trendy chatted with HJ about the HIVE FIVE event which just ended. To the downpour, HJ said in a good mood, ” I’m happy to meet with fans. It’s fine with raining. I’ve got used to it. It seems that it would rain whenever I visited Taiwan. It also rained during my last visit.” Trendy told HJ Taiwanese proverb has it that “someone who goes with rain is a rich man”. He couldn’t help but laugh out loud after listening to it, and said with nods, ” Seriously~that’s wonderful! ” And this afternoon tea date started with the good smell of food and HJ’s laughing.

Trendy: Parting for 2 years, you visit Taiwan again. How do u feel?
HJ: Although it’s not very long in term of 2 years, but I feel it’s like a long time. This visit to Taiwan I see long-time-no-see fans again, and everyone is still very passionate welcoming me and supporting me. It makes me energetic, and the thought of organizing a concert is burning. (read: can’t wait to realize it) But the event just now, it really rained cats and dogs, fans should be drenched with much rain, I hope they won’t get cold. In addition, when I spoke, it would thunder. Was it that everyone couldn’t hear me at all? Because whenever I spoke, it rumbled. But it’s a very special experience. (lol)

[p30]
Trendy: The solo mini album “Break Down”, it has great results both in Korea and in Taiwan, plz introduce the album to us. Which song do you want to recommend in this album?
HJ: “Break Down” is for conveying the image of Kim HyunJoong different from the past to everyone. I hope to transform to a more masculine and more matured man from the image of being a young idol singer. Therefore, I want the genres of songs and the choreography could be presented like this. Hmmm…the most recommended song is definitely “Break Down”, I would recommend “KISS KISS”, too. Although it’s a livelier song, but the cuteness of it is not just pure and innocent, how to say…..should be like ” wanting to be in love, the cuteness in rather mature.”

Trendy: Besides being a singer, you also have drama works, to HJ, what’s the most interesting part respectively?
HJ: Being a singer, in order to fully convey my own work, I have to do my best to sing, to show my charm and to dominate the atmosphere on stage. The performance and domination on stage are not only the big challenge but the most interesting part to a singer. As for being an actor is to interpret another person. Not KHJ, it’s to play another person, I have to study and perform another person’s life and the way of speech…and so on. I think it’s very interesting to me.
Trendy: Except being a singer and an actor, what else do u still want to challenge?
HJ: Hmmm, currently no. Because these two works have been quite big burdens to me, haha~

[p32]
KHJ’s vacation island puzzle?
Since U:ZOOSIN said he wanted to come to Taiwan for vacation, Trendy had to ask for everyone where it would be exactly. Asked HJ if it was Penghu, U:ZOOSIN nim thought for 3 seconds with his head tilting, and nodded. But he added with no certain, ” Is it famous for snorkeling there?” So was it Green Island? But he added, ” Is there surfing over there?” So actually HJ wanted to go to Kenting? Until the end of interview, where U:ZOOSIN wanted to go for vacation was still a puzzle.

[p34]
Trendy: Guangzhou Asian Game last year, HJ challenged to sing Chinese songs. What’s the most difficult part in singing Chinese songs? Was there anything interesting during practice or special tips? Will you consider to challenge to sing Chinese songs in the future albums?
HJ: Pronunciations! The pronunciations of Chinese are really difficult. There was no tips in practice, just kept listening to it repeatedly everyday. Before the performance I kept listening for 2 months. Until now I still remember the lyrics, (lol). If I want to challenge Chinese songs, I supposed lots of practice in need. But currently I would like to challenge different genres of Korean songs. No matter is it interpreting the emotions in songs or other stuffs, I would show various sides of KHJ. This is what I’d like to do well now.

Trendy: The theme for photo shooting this time is afternoon tea date, does HJ have any unforgettable experience for afternoon tea?
HJ: Because I don’t drink coffee and seldom have tea as well, I rarely have experiences with friends for afternoon tea. And I usually meet up with friends for having meals or drinking alcohols together. If not having coffee or tea, I guess it would be weird just chatting over water only. (tilting his head and said in all seriousness)

Trendy: HJ works as busy as a bee for new album promotion, if you can go for vacation, what would u like to do?
HJ: I’ve been really busy that I almost can’t go home. (Can’t help but wave his head) When it comes to vacation, actually I always want to go to Taiwan. I’m serious. I’ve done the research. There are many beautiful small islands and beaches in southern Taiwan, where to go fishing, snorkeling and many other water activities. I’ve planned well initially, but because of the weather at that time, and my agency thought it was too dangerous, so it had to be called off. What a pity! (Head down rubbing hands with regretful and sad expression)

[p36]

Trendy: The album promotion in Korea has been wrapped up, and begin to visit other Asian countries to meet with fans. Could HJ reveal in advance what the following plan is?
HJ: I’m preparing the second mini album releasing in October. The tour in Japan might be kicked off in November. From the end of this year to next February, I would start the Asia Tour for concerts hopefully, Taiwan is included definitely. If there is a chance to go to America, it would be a international tour. Next, maybe in April, there is drama shooting and it might end in July……(HJ spoke with smile over watched Trendy taking note down with efforts, was he supervised Trendy if writing any wrong word?) And the following would be another album production…(In order to take down all HJ’s schedule, Trendy’s writing hand was so weary, and couldn’t help but say, “There’s no time for vacation being this way.”)
HJ: Hmm…Yes~I would make do with it. Like this visit to Taiwan, during the break, I’ll take it as being in vacation in mind. (lol)

Trendy: HJ determined to be a singer, and now is a popular singer-and-actor with recognition, many people’s idol as well. HJ can be called the successful sample in seeking the dreams. During the process in seeking the dreams, what does HJ think the most important? Any advice to the youth who is also seeking the dreams?

HJ: It’s too late! If still just thinking of seeking the dreams, it has been late for many steps already. Suppose not just thinking, should take actions right away. No matter is it being a singer or seeking other dreams, do it right away! Do the best to practice, or work harder in studying, either of which get to start soon. Take being a singer for example, actually everyone can be a singer. As long as releasing an album would be called a singer. But what kind of singer do u want to be? That’s the most important thing!

Trendy: To the future, what kind of goal or expectation does HJ have to self?
HJ: Hmm……I will still work hard on being a good singer-and-actor, and get to challenge many different stuffs, to let everyone see KHJ’s various appearances. I hope to become someone who enjoys the life as well, to enjoy and experience well every different moment in life, to lead a interesting life!
[p37]

Tidbit:
Because the time for interview this time was followed right after “HIVE FIVE Event”, all members in Trendy were commanded and set out in 2 teams to different locations! Even though separating in 2 groups, neither of which could escape from the downpour in the afternoon. When it rained cats and dogs, everyone in Trendy laughed, just like what HJ said, “has got used to it already.”
Although being drenched, on the scene for photo shooting and interview, HJ always wore a smile and was so kind with 100% cooperation, which made everyone has good mood just like in the sunny days, not like being drenched just now. During the break for photo shooting, HJ hummed the songs at times or practice the choreography in the corner as usual. Of course the 4D behaviors couldn’t be less, always until everyone couldn’t help but laughed out loud, and he looked confused. He didn’t tell jokes or do something comical on purpose, and he was just being himself. Although it’s been a while since last meeting, he still remains the pure and bright expression in eyes. In spite of being more matured already, and he expects himself to be more matured, but he still shows the childlike facial expression carelessly. Just because HJ doesn’t disguise himself and shows his true nature, that’s why there is no way not to love him!
U:ZOOSIN promised to be back to organize a concert in the end of this year. Although we shouldn’t expect that it might rain heavily at that time, however, believe that everyone has been expecting this handsome and charming U:ZOOSIN’s next visit with smile. Oh time, please run faster, cos we can’t wait!!!!

Behind the scene:
(in order from left to right, from top to bottom)
[liezle : sorry as I don't have a copy of the magazine i don't know which photo goes to which caption. so if there's anyone who wishes to let me know please do so. thanks!)

[p38-39]

1. Although his schedule in Taiwan was arranged tightly during this visit, we had to carry on the shooting in the hotel due to the restriction of time. However, it didn’t decrease U:ZOOSIN’s handsomeness and brightness at all!
2. After listening to Trendy explain the special project this time, HJ learned that the photo shooting would be carried on the big round table. Before the staff was able to grab a chair for him, we just saw HJ to get upon the table in a flash with a handsome action of turning over. Maybe he was pretty satisfied with his agile action, HJ wore a childlike smile, and it made all staffs laugh.
3. His true nature of 4D isn’t changed. During the photo shooting, he did his tricks silently all along. First, he put the apple hold by him for photo shooting on the fire to grill it, and next, he tried to blow the fire off in a far distance. U:ZOOSIN nim, were u either hungry or tested your vital capacity?
4. The truth behind being with HJ for the romantic afternoon tea time?! Actually who surrounded U:ZOOSIN were Trendy and Korean photographers.
5. HJ’s the second episode of 4D! Well……r u on the phone? Haha~ (HJ covered his right-side ear with a coffee cup.)
6. Although it was raining with the incredible thunderstorm in the afternoon outside, but watched his bright smile, it was like an universe big sunny day in mind.

[p40-41]

The fanmeeting along with downpour, lightning and thundering.
Date: 2011/8/14
Location: Taipei Hankyu Department Square
Event: 2011 HIGH FIVE TOUCH Taipei Fanmeeting

The first public schedule after he alighted from the plane was to meet every GreenPea Princess in “2011 HIGH FIVE TOUCH Fanmeeting”. Although it started officially at 3pm, fans still gathered at Dream Square in the early morning for the good spot to watch long-time-no-see KHJ. Before the event was started, it was packed with the crowds everywhere. In addition to many creative fan boards, we saw the printed cards being green in color surrounding all over the place. Everyone obeyed the rules for safety, no one was in uproar, believing that it’s because people had nothing in mind except watching KHJ.
We didn’t expect that the sky eventually couldn’t hold back the rain drops, 20 minutes before KHJ arrived, it rained cats and dogs. In the fanmeeting, when Ken just appeared on the stage looking at the downpour, couldn’t help but say, ” That’s the way it is…Because he’s U:ZOOSIN! ” of which people all had approval smiles. And then KHJ appeared on the stage, it’s like he didn’t want to let people wait too long, so he ran towards the stage fast. The vest with the plaid shirt made KHJ look very energetic, and the short blond hair being rare on him looked very refreshing. Right after he finished the speech, ” Hello everyone, I am Kim Hyun Joong. (in Chinese)”, it rumbled right away, of which it increased U:ZOOSIN’s force inadvertently. The following was to talk about his future work plan, but whenever he opened his mouth, it rumbled. KHJ also burst into laughing. He repeatedly said that, everyone was drenched by the rain and would feel uncomfortable for sure, truly very grateful for everyone being here in the event to support. KHJ who always has affection for his fans made the Hi5ing upgrade to handshaking. Just saw him who extended his hand initially with smile to all the lucky fans who won the lucky draw, and had the eye contacts with them. Believing that they would feel that all the waiting was worthwhile at the moment.

KHJ’s elegant manners and charming sweeping across in the press conference
Date: 2011/8/15

Location: Taipei Far East Plaza Hotel
Event: KHJ in Taiwan The Great Chinese Region Press Conference
The second day after landing Taiwan, KHJ carried on the press conference in Taipei Far East Plaza Hotel. Dressing in the black suit with open-collard shirt, which made the thin figure look extremely slender and handsome, and also staider comparing to the previous visits.
In the press conference, despite the session for fans to ask questions, KHJ also talked about many inner thoughts, of which it was very precious. Moreover, through drawing for the personality tests, people could get to peek his inner world.

U:ZOOSIN, I Got A Question!
In the press conference, Warner Music prepared the fans’ I-GOT-A-QUESTION videos, and let the sassy questions from fans have the chance to be seen and heard by KHJ. In order to catch U:ZOOSIN’s attention, fans put their best foot forward in the videos! The fan cosplaying a ghost asked KHJ if there were scary preternatural events happening during the album recording or MV shooting. Beyond the expectation, KHJ revealed that he has sensitive body physique, so he has ever felt the existence of that kind of things before. However, he said he didn’t run across any over the album production and MV shooting. And comparing to ghosts, the difficult choreography he has danced for hundred times was even scarier. After the MV shooting was finished, himself and dancers all got sick. However, because of this, he didn’t get nervous performing on stage anymore. KHJ’s speech of ” MV shooting was scarier than ghosts” made people on the scene couldn’t stop laughing in the press conference.

Predicting and analyzing U:ZOOSIN
Ken kept asking him, and KHJ revealed the feeling for visiting Taiwan this time, ” Really appreciate that people don’t forget me and welcome me passionately!” Also he said that he doesn’t mind being called 4D, and the reason he named himself U:ZOOSIN is because he hopes everyone can be very blessed, including the entire universe could be blessed! In the press conference, he revealed that yesterday he was served Shanghi cuisine, and every dish was delicious, so he ate up all. But he still concerned with Xiao Long Bao, and said with smile that he could have that at night, felt very happy.

The following was that Ken requested KHJ to do the drawing, including houses, ducks, fences, trees, the sun, the moon, rocks, roads, and mountains on the paper. Through the drawing personality test to find out U:ZOOSIN’s inner world. Among which Ken laughed at the not-so-well-drawn duck, KHJ answered with no hesitation, “That’s the way Korean ducks look like,” which made people all burst into laughing. From the drawing, it could be interpreted that KHJ would be a good man who is in good relationship with his family and would take care of it. Moreover, he would see the other half on the same position as him and have no Chauvinism. And the tree would represent the number of friends, the host watched the few trees and then looked at KHJ. KHJ said because he drew many fruits on the trees, he would have many friends, of which it caused a sea of laughter. From the drawing, despite that his career could be interpreted to be as high as the sun, and it predicts that the kids would be another turning point for his career. Is it accurate or not on earth? Really curious.

U:ZOOSIN’s Inner World
The second drawing personality test also was answered in a sea of laughter. From the drawing, it could be interpreted that KHJ would be considered someone often with smile by his family, and KHJ also nodded with saying he thought so as well. The blank which represented the future spouse was drawn with a candy, so the host Ken said she would be a sweet person. The blank for the future direction was drawn with an arrow pointing upward, so everyone all agreed that his career would still keep soaring up to the sky in the future. However, the blank representing for what kind of person KHJ would be in other people’s eyes was drawn with the no smoking sign, of which the host couldn’t help but ask if he was a serious person. KHJ said he’s a little bit serious, but definitely not strict. The blank for the truest self was drawn with a clock, KHJ said seriously, “Yes, can’t stop working, no time for the rest.” The blank for the current state was drawn with picked yellow radish, KHJ explained, ” Picked yellow radish is the required side dish for Zha Jiang Mein in Korea, of which it means sacrificing oneself to achieve a greater goal.”, of which it earned applause for this cute U:ZOOSIN.
In the end of the press conference, KHJ wore a sincere smile and said that he felt sorry for no performances on stage during this visit, and hoped to dedicate the best performance to everyone in the concert. To add on, he also mentioned his affection to fans for the raining and thundering yesterday and his appreciations to them. Moreover, he said he would work hard on preparing for the new album, and thanked for everyone’s support and love.
