[Trans] Kim Kyu Jong - “Decided To Retire When People Makes Me Feel Too Difficult” [28.09.11]

Re-post with full credits.
The heart that got hurt by people can only be healed through people. Coming back to the music scene after 1 year and 7 months is idol group SS501's Kim KyuJong, who had thought of retiring due to getting hurt deeply by people. He also considered seriously to quietly going back to his hometown and live on listening to his favorite music.
The reason for him to think of the word 'retire' is due to the wounds he received from people. Especially because of his character of trusting people easily and shy of strangers, Kim KyuJong fell into the deep into his agony. Thoughts like "My character doesn't fit as a singer?" filled his head.
"I stopped doing what I was originally doing. Because I received too much wounds from people. I even think like 'My character is not suitable?' sigh~ I thought of leaving without any prior notice at the thought of living comfortably without any desires."
This is not a joke, Kim KyuJong really intended to leave. But he made a long journey and returned once again on the stage. Kim KyuJong released his first solo mini album 'TURN ME ON' on 27-Sep. So what is the reason for Kim KyuJong to sing again?
"Because of people. I realized that there are still many people who cherishes me like before. All thanks to these people, I was determined to work hard. In the past when I have lots of work, I will grumble but now I will have fun and enjoy it. (smile)"
Kim KyuJong, whom we have not seen for a long time, looks even brighter than before. Though his difficulties during this period has not diminished yet, thanks to the precious affinity with his current agency and its staffs, he was able to gather strength to stand up again. SS501 member Heo YoungSaeng, who is with him in his current agency B2M Entertainment, becomes his biggest strength.
"Thinking of standing on the stage again after 2 over years, I feel happy and excited. Of course, though there are still many things I don't know yet, but won't these change accordingly when I becomes determined to do it? (Heo) YoungSaeng hyung also said I am suitable to sing and supported me. It became a big strength to me."
While having activities as SS501, thanks to the few members who loves being in the limelight, the usually quiet him had a 180 degrees change and we can feel the change in this meeting with him. Don't know if it's a natural change as he will have the camera time all to himself which he had shared with 5 members in the past.
Of course, the first drink cannot fill you full, Kim KyuJong does not demand too much on his first solo album. He only hopes to walk quietly towards the fans who got wet under the drizzle.
"I like American singer Tommy Page's music very much. Though it is not a very outstanding type of music, you will remember it for a very long time. Like for my song, even though it will not appear as very outstanding when fans listen to it, but it will quietly linger around, so even when time passes by, I hope I can hear people say 'This song is really good'. It is my dream to become a singer with such charisma."
Though he started off as idol group, Kim KyuJong came out standing alone now, he wants to be remembered as a singer who has a 'deep scent'. In year 2011, he will step forward alone, not as a group but as solo, not as idol but as a singer.

[Interview] Kim KyuJong “I’m afraid to make mistake, didn’t even buy a car”

REPOST WITH FULL CREDITS ONLY
Talking to ‘Young man who leads a upright life’ Kim KyuJong, what we felt is his brightness, healthiness and deepness in thoughts. Even when talking excitedly on incidents with his fans, he rounded up saying “So I have to work even harder and become a greater person.” It is not a pretentious talk, because his body is already holding to his honest heart.
Kim KyuJong, who doesn’t have a car on his own said “I didn’t buy a car because I am uneasy about it. If I have one, I think I will unknowingly drink and drive and get into trouble. I thought that I shouldn’t buy a car ever since I was twenty years old.” He added and laughed “Even though I feel sorry for my future girlfriend, but I can’t say (if I’d buy a car) after marriage, but now I have no intention of buying a car.”
“I always take the subway when I go and meet my friends. If I am really busy, then I will take a taxi. Subway is fast and good.” He said praising the subway. We told him “You used to always pull down your hat and put your head down when you go. What did I say?” Kim KyuJong laughed and said “At that time I thought that was what I must do, but now I go at ease. It’s good if someone recognizes me. I will give autograph if being asked. But a while back, I was being photographed by someone and I heard that I looked shabby in it.” And he laughed again.
Kim KyuJong’s reason for wanting to get married early is “Because I hate temptation”. He explained “Living in the society, I see the many temptations in my friends and hyungs. I really hate those temptations. Even though it becomes an excuse while working, if I have a special someone, I think I will not have such suggestions anymore.”
He added “I want to quickly get married and enjoy the marriage and have babies. I want my father to have an enjoyable time with my kid before he turns too old. If I have kid early, won’t my kid have the chance to have a cup of alcohol with my father when he gets old enough? I think it will be a great gift for my father too.”
With his busy schedule and new challenges coming up, he might be very anxious but he said “As compared to the worries of friends my age, I think I am enjoying it.” He continued “I used to be envious of the friends who solely went to school, but now when we meet, they are all sighing. While preparing for the album, I had some worries and thought ‘I should ask my friends’, but everyone is seriously worried about their own future. They were having a very hard time. As compared to them, I think my worries are enjoyable worries.”
As the last runner of SS501 solo debut, the aim for Kim KyuJong’s album is also as per that nature. “I felt the stress as members who released their albums before me were doing better and better. It will be great if I do well with my album but my role is to finish everything well under our group image. More than the desire to have a big hit success, I hope to finish with an image ‘Kim KyuJong seems like a good person’.”
Composer Han SangWon who produced SS501’s hit song ‘U R Man’, once again produced ‘YESTERDAY’ for Kim KyuJong, “It may sound tacky at first but please listen to it just 3 times. And you will find that it is really good.” He laughed and said.

[Interview] Kim Kyu Jong - NEWSEN Interview (2) - Sept 29 ( Thursday )
Interview by: NEWSEN (뉴스엔)

Date of interview: 21st Sept (Wednesday)
Date published: 29th Sept (Thursday)

'바른생활청년'. 김규종과 대화를 나누며 느낀건 밝고 건강하고 생각이 깊다는거다. 팬들과 관련된 에피소드를 신나게 쏟아내다가도 마무리는 "그래서 제가 더 열심히 해서 멋진 사람이 돼야해요"였다. 가식적인 말이 아니라 몸에 이미 벤 그의 솔직한 마음이었다.
개인 소유의 차가 없는 김규종은 "괜히 불안해서 차를 안샀다. 가지고 다니다보면 나도 모르게 음주운전을 할 수도 있고 실수할까봐. 스무살때부터 차는 안 사야겠다고 생각했다"고 말했다. 이어 "앞으로 만나게 될 여자친구에게는 미안하지만 결혼 후에는 모를까 지금은 차를 살 생각이 없다"며 웃었다.
그는 "친구들 만나러 갈 때도 지하철을 자주 탄다. 정말 바쁘면 택시를 타고. 지하철이 빠르고 좋다"고 지하철 예찬을 늘어놓기도 했다. "예전엔 늘 모자를 푹 눌러쓰고 고개 숙이고 다녔다. 내가 뭐라고?"라며 웃던 김규종은 "그때는 당연히 그래야하는 줄 알았는데 지금은 편하게 다닌다. 누가 알아봐주면 좋더라. 사인도 해달라면 해준다. 근데 얼마전에 누군가한테 사진이 찍혔는데 궁상 맞아보인다는 말을 듣기도 했다"고 또 웃어보였다.
김규종이 빨리 결혼을 하고 싶은 이유도 "유혹이 싫어서"다. "사회 생활을 하거나 친구, 형들을 만나다 보면 유혹이 많다. 그런 유혹을 정말 싫어한다. 일하면서 핑계 댈 수 있긴하지만 내 사람이 생기면 그런 제의는 없을 것 같다"고 설명했다.
이어 "빨리 결혼해서 여유롭게 신혼도 즐기고 아이도 낳고 싶다. 아버지가 내 아이에게 너무 어려운 나이가 되기 전에 함께 즐거운 시간 보내고 싶다. 빨리 낳으면 아이가 커서 우리 아버지랑 같이 술이라도 한잔 할 수 있지 않을까. 아버지에게도 큰 선물이 될 것 같다"고 덧붙였다.
바쁜 스케줄과 새로운 도전들 앞에 불안한 마음일 법도 한데 "또래 친구들 고민에 비하면 난 즐거운 것 같다"고 말한다. "예전엔 학교만 다니는 친구들이 부러웠는데 지금은 만나면 다 한숨이다. 음반 준비하면서 고민하다 '친구들한테 물어봐야겠다' 했는데 다들 심각하게 자신의 미래를 고민하고 있더라. 너무 힘들어한다. 그에 비하면 내 고민은 즐거운 고민인 것 같다"고 말했다.
SS501 솔로데뷔 마지막 주자로 나선 김규종의 이번 앨범 목표도 그 성격대로다. "앞서 앨범을 낸 멤버들이 갈수록 잘 돼 부담감이 있다. 내 음반이 잘 되면 좋겠지만 내 역할은 우리 팀 이미지에 누가 되지 않게 잘 매듭짓는 것 같다. 대박 욕심보다는 '김규종이란 사람 괜찮은 것 같다'는 이미지로 마무리했으면 좋겠다"는 것.
SS501 히트곡 'U R MAN' 작곡가 한상원과 다시 손을 잡고 'Yesterday'를 발표한 김규종은 "처음엔 좀 촌스럽게 들릴 수 있는데 딱 세번만 참고 들어주세요. 그러면 정말 좋거든요"라며 웃었다.
'Youth with proper life-morals' Kim Kyu Jong. As I shared the conversation with Kim Kyu Jong, what I really felt was, he is very jovial, healthy and a deep thinker. As he poured some interesting episodes he's had with his fans excitedly, he finally ended off with a sentence, "that is why I have to become a more awesome person by working harder and harder". Not the usual pretensious words you would hear, because all that's seen on him from head to toe is but an honest heart, upright mindset.
A car would be what is called a personal posession. Kim Kyu Jong who doesn't have a car explained his reasons why, "I think I'd worry too unnecessarily if I bought a car, so I didn't buy. If I buy and own one, I might probably end up drink driving without my conscious knowledge...and probably make mistakes... Since 20 years old I already have the thinking of not buying any cars", "Though I will feel sorry to my future girlfriend and maybe might change my mind after I get married, for now that is, I do not have intention to buy any car", as Kyu Jong laughed and talked about it.
"Even when I go to meet my friends, I use the Mass Rapid Transit often, while if I'm really busy then I'll take the taxi. The Mass Rapid Transit is fast and comfortable", as he couldn't stop raving about his liking for the Mass Rapid Transit trains. "In the past, I used to always put on a hat with my head lowered and being in all low profile to everywhere I went... Just what am I that I need to behave like that..!", and he laughed. To which he continued, "at that time I felt it was a must for me to do so and that I didn't have a choice, but now I just do so freely as I wish. If anyone sees me that's good also. If they ask for my autograph, I'll give it to them too. Albeit not long ago someone took a picture of me in public and I even heard people saying that I seemed to look like I was in a sorry plight in that picture", as he laughed to what he said again.
Even Kyu Jong's reason of wanting to get married quickly explained so, "because I hate temptations". "As I be in the society circle, or when I meet up with friends or my hyungs, there are alot of temptations. and to those temptations, I really hate it. Although it's possible for me to have such chances as I'm working, if someday my other-half appears, then I would no longer have those kind of possible opportunities coming to me", as he explained.
"I hope to marry quickly, enjoy my newly-wed life enjoyingly and freely and also to have a child. Before my father becomes too old for my child, I hope we can spend lovely times together as a family. If I have my child quickly, then after my child grows bigger, we could also have a drink or two together with my father too. He will also be a huge present to my father", as he added.
Despite him having a busy schedule and possibly more tedious challenges ahead of him, he discussed about this issue to himself and realized,"Compared to my peers' troubles, I think mine is an enjoying one". Why? "Last time I used to be very envious of my friends who could go to schools, but when we meet up now, they all sigh. As I was preparing my album, I worried about them and thought to myself that I must go and ask about my friends one day, and after I did, I saw that they were worrying alot about their uncertain futures. It's very hard on them. If compared to that, I think my worries and perplexes is an enjoying and pleasant one".
Even as he is the final relayer in SS501 to hold a solo debut and release a solo album last, his goals set for this album is just like his personality too."Members who released theirs before me progressed better and better as time went by, and burden came to me... Of course it'd be great if my album will turn out great, but because my role in the team is that of a balancer, it's not so good if any one over-covers any one else. Rather than me turning out as a huge hit, I rather people just have the thought that Kim Kyu Jong is really a not-bad person, and end it (solo debuts) off that way will suffice".
SS501's hit song 'U R MAN' producer Han Sang-won collaborated with Kyu Jong this time round for title track 'YESTERDAY, "If you listen to it the first time, you'd find it a little conventional. But if you listen to it for exactly 3 times, you'll come to really like it", as he haha-ed to what he said.

SS501 히트곡 'U R MAN' 작곡가 한상원과 다시 손을 잡고 'Yesterday'를 발표한 김규종은 "처음엔 좀 촌스럽게 들릴 수 있는데 딱 세번만 참고 들어주세요. 그러면 정말 좋거든요"라며 웃었다.
'Youth with proper life-morals' Kim Kyu Jong. As I shared the conversation with Kim Kyu Jong, what I really felt was, he is very jovial, healthy and a deep thinker. As he poured some interesting episodes he's had with his fans excitedly, he finally ended off with a sentence, "that is why I have to become a more awesome person by working harder and harder". Not the usual pretensious words you would hear, because all that's seen on him from head to toe is but an honest heart, upright mindset.
A car would be what is called a personal posession. Kim Kyu Jong who doesn't have a car explained his reasons why, "I think I'd worry too unnecessarily if I bought a car, so I didn't buy. If I buy and own one, I might probably end up drink driving without my conscious knowledge...and probably make mistakes... Since 20 years old I already have the thinking of not buying any cars", "Though I will feel sorry to my future girlfriend and maybe might change my mind after I get married, for now that is, I do not have intention to buy any car", as Kyu Jong laughed and talked about it.
"Even when I go to meet my friends, I use the Mass Rapid Transit often, while if I'm really busy then I'll take the taxi. The Mass Rapid Transit is fast and comfortable", as he couldn't stop raving about his liking for the Mass Rapid Transit trains. "In the past, I used to always put on a hat with my head lowered and being in all low profile to everywhere I went... Just what am I that I need to behave like that..!", and he laughed. To which he continued, "at that time I felt it was a must for me to do so and that I didn't have a choice, but now I just do so freely as I wish. If anyone sees me that's good also. If they ask for my autograph, I'll give it to them too. Albeit not long ago someone took a picture of me in public and I even heard people saying that I seemed to look like I was in a sorry plight in that picture", as he laughed to what he said again.
Even Kyu Jong's reason of wanting to get married quickly explained so, "because I hate temptations". "As I be in the society circle, or when I meet up with friends or my hyungs, there are alot of temptations. and to those temptations, I really hate it. Although it's possible for me to have such chances as I'm working, if someday my other-half appears, then I would no longer have those kind of possible opportunities coming to me", as he explained.
"I hope to marry quickly, enjoy my newly-wed life enjoyingly and freely and also to have a child. Before my father becomes too old for my child, I hope we can spend lovely times together as a family. If I have my child quickly, then after my child grows bigger, we could also have a drink or two together with my father too. He will also be a huge present to my father", as he added.
Despite him having a busy schedule and possibly more tedious challenges ahead of him, he discussed about this issue to himself and realized,"Compared to my peers' troubles, I think mine is an enjoying one". Why? "Last time I used to be very envious of my friends who could go to schools, but when we meet up now, they all sigh. As I was preparing my album, I worried about them and thought to myself that I must go and ask about my friends one day, and after I did, I saw that they were worrying alot about their uncertain futures. It's very hard on them. If compared to that, I think my worries and perplexes is an enjoying and pleasant one".
Even as he is the final relayer in SS501 to hold a solo debut and release a solo album last, his goals set for this album is just like his personality too."Members who released theirs before me progressed better and better as time went by, and burden came to me... Of course it'd be great if my album will turn out great, but because my role in the team is that of a balancer, it's not so good if any one over-covers any one else. Rather than me turning out as a huge hit, I rather people just have the thought that Kim Kyu Jong is really a not-bad person, and end it (solo debuts) off that way will suffice".
SS501's hit song 'U R MAN' producer Han Sang-won collaborated with Kyu Jong this time round for title track 'YESTERDAY, "If you listen to it the first time, you'd find it a little conventional. But if you listen to it for exactly 3 times, you'll come to really like it", as he haha-ed to what he said.
[Interview] Kim KyuJong “Extraordinary Female Make-Up Photo, Hoping to be Pretty but Simply Transvestite” [110928]

REPOST WITH FULL CREDITS ONLY
Last of SS501 to make a solo debut, Kim KyuJong’s teaser photo had various ‘extraordinary’ points. Heavy make-ups, pearl necklace, female clothing with white hairstyle... immediately after it was being released, there was a heated attention among music fans as well as in various online communities. There are different types of reactions, from curiosity regarding his new attempt, to negative responses.
Kim KyuJong said honestly, “Even though it would be great to hear many nice words about it but getting away from that, I thought that I should do something that I have never done before. And it attracted many people’s attention on it.” He added “Because I won’t be showing that in my performance, so I just wanted to be showing this image.”
He said he is thankful even for those negative responses. He said, “Even then, I think they will say ‘What’s this?’ when they see the photo. Besides cursing over the photo, I am thankful simply that they found and saw the photo. Because it would seem like the traits in my performance, so it is good since it will create attention for it.”
Kim KyuJong’s dressing as woman hides 2 meanings. First is, the wholly white make-up signifies that even though there are diverse colors on the inside, he will break off from all of them and will show his own set of color in his performance.
Kim KyuJong explained, “The 2nd meaning is that while putting on make-up and filming, I thought that the title song is just too sad. It is not that I like a person similar to me. You will become similar with any person you like. Breaking up with the girlfriend, you will think that you can find the image of your girlfriend in your own face. So I put the make-up just like how the girlfriend would. If you look at the album jacket photo, you can also see photos of removing the make-up.”
Kim KyuJong said after explaining the hidden meaning, “I thought that it is really difficult being a female.” He continued “It is difficult to put on fake eyelashes. ‘How can you go out wearing this? It is tough to look beautiful’, these thoughts came to me. For guys, we just wear whatever will do. Females create beauty from small little things, which is tough. It’s just so difficult be it by just not moving, or putting on the fake eye lashes.”
He added “Frankly speaking, I was embarrassed initially but finds it fresh and original while taking the photos. I felt ‘There’s also such a side of me’, ‘When should I try this’. But I wasn’t pretty. I took the photo hoping that I will come out like a pretty lady but I came out just like a transvestite.” And laughed. He continued “Well that’s too bad. I was thinking if I should have put on a wig, but I don’t think it will work.”
Throughout the interview, we can feel Kim KyuJong enjoying the preparations for his solo album and various new challenges he has. “I have not gone into active promotion activities yet so I am not sure, but it was fun but tiring to be making it alone. I have tried various things and also talked a lot about my personal stuffs, it is making me excited. In the past, members share their opinions and fine-tuned it, but now there was too much because there is no one who gives control over it, however the song came out which I am personally satisfied with.”
Meanwhile, Kim KyuJong will start his active promotion activities in music shows broadcasts starting from Mnet ‘M Countdown’ on 29-Sep. Title song ‘YESTERDAY’ comprises of unique raging deep sensitivity in its second half of the song, attracting anticipation by showing the colors of Kim KyuJong.

[Trans] Kim Kyu Jong - “Decided To Retire When People Makes Me Feel Too Difficult” [28.09.11]

Re-post with full credits.
The heart that got hurt by people can only be healed through people. Coming back to the music scene after 1 year and 7 months is idol group SS501's Kim KyuJong, who had thought of retiring due to getting hurt deeply by people. He also considered seriously to quietly going back to his hometown and live on listening to his favorite music.
The reason for him to think of the word 'retire' is due to the wounds he received from people. Especially because of his character of trusting people easily and shy of strangers, Kim KyuJong fell into the deep into his agony. Thoughts like "My character doesn't fit as a singer?" filled his head.
"I stopped doing what I was originally doing. Because I received too much wounds from people. I even think like 'My character is not suitable?' sigh~ I thought of leaving without any prior notice at the thought of living comfortably without any desires."
This is not a joke, Kim KyuJong really intended to leave. But he made a long journey and returned once again on the stage. Kim KyuJong released his first solo mini album 'TURN ME ON' on 27-Sep. So what is the reason for Kim KyuJong to sing again?
"Because of people. I realized that there are still many people who cherishes me like before. All thanks to these people, I was determined to work hard. In the past when I have lots of work, I will grumble but now I will have fun and enjoy it. (smile)"
Kim KyuJong, whom we have not seen for a long time, looks even brighter than before. Though his difficulties during this period has not diminished yet, thanks to the precious affinity with his current agency and its staffs, he was able to gather strength to stand up again. SS501 member Heo YoungSaeng, who is with him in his current agency B2M Entertainment, becomes his biggest strength.
"Thinking of standing on the stage again after 2 over years, I feel happy and excited. Of course, though there are still many things I don't know yet, but won't these change accordingly when I becomes determined to do it? (Heo) YoungSaeng hyung also said I am suitable to sing and supported me. It became a big strength to me."
While having activities as SS501, thanks to the few members who loves being in the limelight, the usually quiet him had a 180 degrees change and we can feel the change in this meeting with him. Don't know if it's a natural change as he will have the camera time all to himself which he had shared with 5 members in the past.
Of course, the first drink cannot fill you full, Kim KyuJong does not demand too much on his first solo album. He only hopes to walk quietly towards the fans who got wet under the drizzle.
"I like American singer Tommy Page's music very much. Though it is not a very outstanding type of music, you will remember it for a very long time. Like for my song, even though it will not appear as very outstanding when fans listen to it, but it will quietly linger around, so even when time passes by, I hope I can hear people say 'This song is really good'. It is my dream to become a singer with such charisma."
Though he started off as idol group, Kim KyuJong came out standing alone now, he wants to be remembered as a singer who has a 'deep scent'. In year 2011, he will step forward alone, not as a group but as solo, not as idol but as a singer.

[Interview] Kim KyuJong “I’m afraid to make mistake, didn’t even buy a car”
Credits : oing @ NEWEN + (English Translation) xiaochu @ Quainte501.com
REPOST WITH FULL CREDITS ONLY
Talking to ‘Young man who leads a upright life’ Kim KyuJong, what we felt is his brightness, healthiness and deepness in thoughts. Even when talking excitedly on incidents with his fans, he rounded up saying “So I have to work even harder and become a greater person.” It is not a pretentious talk, because his body is already holding to his honest heart.
Kim KyuJong, who doesn’t have a car on his own said “I didn’t buy a car because I am uneasy about it. If I have one, I think I will unknowingly drink and drive and get into trouble. I thought that I shouldn’t buy a car ever since I was twenty years old.” He added and laughed “Even though I feel sorry for my future girlfriend, but I can’t say (if I’d buy a car) after marriage, but now I have no intention of buying a car.”
“I always take the subway when I go and meet my friends. If I am really busy, then I will take a taxi. Subway is fast and good.” He said praising the subway. We told him “You used to always pull down your hat and put your head down when you go. What did I say?” Kim KyuJong laughed and said “At that time I thought that was what I must do, but now I go at ease. It’s good if someone recognizes me. I will give autograph if being asked. But a while back, I was being photographed by someone and I heard that I looked shabby in it.” And he laughed again.
Kim KyuJong’s reason for wanting to get married early is “Because I hate temptation”. He explained “Living in the society, I see the many temptations in my friends and hyungs. I really hate those temptations. Even though it becomes an excuse while working, if I have a special someone, I think I will not have such suggestions anymore.”
He added “I want to quickly get married and enjoy the marriage and have babies. I want my father to have an enjoyable time with my kid before he turns too old. If I have kid early, won’t my kid have the chance to have a cup of alcohol with my father when he gets old enough? I think it will be a great gift for my father too.”
With his busy schedule and new challenges coming up, he might be very anxious but he said “As compared to the worries of friends my age, I think I am enjoying it.” He continued “I used to be envious of the friends who solely went to school, but now when we meet, they are all sighing. While preparing for the album, I had some worries and thought ‘I should ask my friends’, but everyone is seriously worried about their own future. They were having a very hard time. As compared to them, I think my worries are enjoyable worries.”
As the last runner of SS501 solo debut, the aim for Kim KyuJong’s album is also as per that nature. “I felt the stress as members who released their albums before me were doing better and better. It will be great if I do well with my album but my role is to finish everything well under our group image. More than the desire to have a big hit success, I hope to finish with an image ‘Kim KyuJong seems like a good person’.”
Composer Han SangWon who produced SS501’s hit song ‘U R Man’, once again produced ‘YESTERDAY’ for Kim KyuJong, “It may sound tacky at first but please listen to it just 3 times. And you will find that it is really good.” He laughed and said.

'바른생활청년'. 김규종과 대화를 나누며 느낀건 밝고 건강하고 생각이 깊다는거다. 팬들과 관련된 에피소드를 신나게 쏟아내다가도 마무리는 "그래서 제가 더 열심히 해서 멋진 사람이 돼야해요"였다. 가식적인 말이 아니라 몸에 이미 벤 그의 솔직한 마음이었다.
개인 소유의 차가 없는 김규종은 "괜히 불안해서 차를 안샀다. 가지고 다니다보면 나도 모르게 음주운전을 할 수도 있고 실수할까봐. 스무살때부터 차는 안 사야겠다고 생각했다"고 말했다. 이어 "앞으로 만나게 될 여자친구에게는 미안하지만 결혼 후에는 모를까 지금은 차를 살 생각이 없다"며 웃었다.
그는 "친구들 만나러 갈 때도 지하철을 자주 탄다. 정말 바쁘면 택시를 타고. 지하철이 빠르고 좋다"고 지하철 예찬을 늘어놓기도 했다. "예전엔 늘 모자를 푹 눌러쓰고 고개 숙이고 다녔다. 내가 뭐라고?"라며 웃던 김규종은 "그때는 당연히 그래야하는 줄 알았는데 지금은 편하게 다닌다. 누가 알아봐주면 좋더라. 사인도 해달라면 해준다. 근데 얼마전에 누군가한테 사진이 찍혔는데 궁상 맞아보인다는 말을 듣기도 했다"고 또 웃어보였다.
김규종이 빨리 결혼을 하고 싶은 이유도 "유혹이 싫어서"다. "사회 생활을 하거나 친구, 형들을 만나다 보면 유혹이 많다. 그런 유혹을 정말 싫어한다. 일하면서 핑계 댈 수 있긴하지만 내 사람이 생기면 그런 제의는 없을 것 같다"고 설명했다.
이어 "빨리 결혼해서 여유롭게 신혼도 즐기고 아이도 낳고 싶다. 아버지가 내 아이에게 너무 어려운 나이가 되기 전에 함께 즐거운 시간 보내고 싶다. 빨리 낳으면 아이가 커서 우리 아버지랑 같이 술이라도 한잔 할 수 있지 않을까. 아버지에게도 큰 선물이 될 것 같다"고 덧붙였다.
바쁜 스케줄과 새로운 도전들 앞에 불안한 마음일 법도 한데 "또래 친구들 고민에 비하면 난 즐거운 것 같다"고 말한다. "예전엔 학교만 다니는 친구들이 부러웠는데 지금은 만나면 다 한숨이다. 음반 준비하면서 고민하다 '친구들한테 물어봐야겠다' 했는데 다들 심각하게 자신의 미래를 고민하고 있더라. 너무 힘들어한다. 그에 비하면 내 고민은 즐거운 고민인 것 같다"고 말했다.
SS501 솔로데뷔 마지막 주자로 나선 김규종의 이번 앨범 목표도 그 성격대로다. "앞서 앨범을 낸 멤버들이 갈수록 잘 돼 부담감이 있다. 내 음반이 잘 되면 좋겠지만 내 역할은 우리 팀 이미지에 누가 되지 않게 잘 매듭짓는 것 같다. 대박 욕심보다는 '김규종이란 사람 괜찮은 것 같다'는 이미지로 마무리했으면 좋겠다"는 것.
SS501 히트곡 'U R MAN' 작곡가 한상원과 다시 손을 잡고 'Yesterday'를 발표한 김규종은 "처음엔 좀 촌스럽게 들릴 수 있는데 딱 세번만 참고 들어주세요. 그러면 정말 좋거든요"라며 웃었다.
'Youth with proper life-morals' Kim Kyu Jong. As I shared the conversation with Kim Kyu Jong, what I really felt was, he is very jovial, healthy and a deep thinker. As he poured some interesting episodes he's had with his fans excitedly, he finally ended off with a sentence, "that is why I have to become a more awesome person by working harder and harder". Not the usual pretensious words you would hear, because all that's seen on him from head to toe is but an honest heart, upright mindset.
A car would be what is called a personal posession. Kim Kyu Jong who doesn't have a car explained his reasons why, "I think I'd worry too unnecessarily if I bought a car, so I didn't buy. If I buy and own one, I might probably end up drink driving without my conscious knowledge...and probably make mistakes... Since 20 years old I already have the thinking of not buying any cars", "Though I will feel sorry to my future girlfriend and maybe might change my mind after I get married, for now that is, I do not have intention to buy any car", as Kyu Jong laughed and talked about it.
"Even when I go to meet my friends, I use the Mass Rapid Transit often, while if I'm really busy then I'll take the taxi. The Mass Rapid Transit is fast and comfortable", as he couldn't stop raving about his liking for the Mass Rapid Transit trains. "In the past, I used to always put on a hat with my head lowered and being in all low profile to everywhere I went... Just what am I that I need to behave like that..!", and he laughed. To which he continued, "at that time I felt it was a must for me to do so and that I didn't have a choice, but now I just do so freely as I wish. If anyone sees me that's good also. If they ask for my autograph, I'll give it to them too. Albeit not long ago someone took a picture of me in public and I even heard people saying that I seemed to look like I was in a sorry plight in that picture", as he laughed to what he said again.
Even Kyu Jong's reason of wanting to get married quickly explained so, "because I hate temptations". "As I be in the society circle, or when I meet up with friends or my hyungs, there are alot of temptations. and to those temptations, I really hate it. Although it's possible for me to have such chances as I'm working, if someday my other-half appears, then I would no longer have those kind of possible opportunities coming to me", as he explained.
"I hope to marry quickly, enjoy my newly-wed life enjoyingly and freely and also to have a child. Before my father becomes too old for my child, I hope we can spend lovely times together as a family. If I have my child quickly, then after my child grows bigger, we could also have a drink or two together with my father too. He will also be a huge present to my father", as he added.
Despite him having a busy schedule and possibly more tedious challenges ahead of him, he discussed about this issue to himself and realized,"Compared to my peers' troubles, I think mine is an enjoying one". Why? "Last time I used to be very envious of my friends who could go to schools, but when we meet up now, they all sigh. As I was preparing my album, I worried about them and thought to myself that I must go and ask about my friends one day, and after I did, I saw that they were worrying alot about their uncertain futures. It's very hard on them. If compared to that, I think my worries and perplexes is an enjoying and pleasant one".
Even as he is the final relayer in SS501 to hold a solo debut and release a solo album last, his goals set for this album is just like his personality too."Members who released theirs before me progressed better and better as time went by, and burden came to me... Of course it'd be great if my album will turn out great, but because my role in the team is that of a balancer, it's not so good if any one over-covers any one else. Rather than me turning out as a huge hit, I rather people just have the thought that Kim Kyu Jong is really a not-bad person, and end it (solo debuts) off that way will suffice".
SS501's hit song 'U R MAN' producer Han Sang-won collaborated with Kyu Jong this time round for title track 'YESTERDAY, "If you listen to it the first time, you'd find it a little conventional. But if you listen to it for exactly 3 times, you'll come to really like it", as he haha-ed to what he said.

[Interview] Kim KyuJong “Extraordinary Female Make-Up Photo, Hoping to be Pretty but Simply Transvestite” [110928]

REPOST WITH FULL CREDITS ONLY
Last of SS501 to make a solo debut, Kim KyuJong’s teaser photo had various ‘extraordinary’ points. Heavy make-ups, pearl necklace, female clothing with white hairstyle... immediately after it was being released, there was a heated attention among music fans as well as in various online communities. There are different types of reactions, from curiosity regarding his new attempt, to negative responses.
Kim KyuJong said honestly, “Even though it would be great to hear many nice words about it but getting away from that, I thought that I should do something that I have never done before. And it attracted many people’s attention on it.” He added “Because I won’t be showing that in my performance, so I just wanted to be showing this image.”
He said he is thankful even for those negative responses. He said, “Even then, I think they will say ‘What’s this?’ when they see the photo. Besides cursing over the photo, I am thankful simply that they found and saw the photo. Because it would seem like the traits in my performance, so it is good since it will create attention for it.”
Kim KyuJong’s dressing as woman hides 2 meanings. First is, the wholly white make-up signifies that even though there are diverse colors on the inside, he will break off from all of them and will show his own set of color in his performance.
Kim KyuJong explained, “The 2nd meaning is that while putting on make-up and filming, I thought that the title song is just too sad. It is not that I like a person similar to me. You will become similar with any person you like. Breaking up with the girlfriend, you will think that you can find the image of your girlfriend in your own face. So I put the make-up just like how the girlfriend would. If you look at the album jacket photo, you can also see photos of removing the make-up.”
Kim KyuJong said after explaining the hidden meaning, “I thought that it is really difficult being a female.” He continued “It is difficult to put on fake eyelashes. ‘How can you go out wearing this? It is tough to look beautiful’, these thoughts came to me. For guys, we just wear whatever will do. Females create beauty from small little things, which is tough. It’s just so difficult be it by just not moving, or putting on the fake eye lashes.”
He added “Frankly speaking, I was embarrassed initially but finds it fresh and original while taking the photos. I felt ‘There’s also such a side of me’, ‘When should I try this’. But I wasn’t pretty. I took the photo hoping that I will come out like a pretty lady but I came out just like a transvestite.” And laughed. He continued “Well that’s too bad. I was thinking if I should have put on a wig, but I don’t think it will work.”
Throughout the interview, we can feel Kim KyuJong enjoying the preparations for his solo album and various new challenges he has. “I have not gone into active promotion activities yet so I am not sure, but it was fun but tiring to be making it alone. I have tried various things and also talked a lot about my personal stuffs, it is making me excited. In the past, members share their opinions and fine-tuned it, but now there was too much because there is no one who gives control over it, however the song came out which I am personally satisfied with.”
Meanwhile, Kim KyuJong will start his active promotion activities in music shows broadcasts starting from Mnet ‘M Countdown’ on 29-Sep. Title song ‘YESTERDAY’ comprises of unique raging deep sensitivity in its second half of the song, attracting anticipation by showing the colors of Kim KyuJong.
