[trans] Kim Hyunjoong: "I am always afraid of losing love from fans" (AERA Japanese Magazine)
***
Kim Hyun Joong, Leader of K pop idol group, who already had a dream of becoming a singer inspired by Seo-Taiji at the second year of a prime school, talked about acting and emotions towards his fans.
He did not see neither Taiwan version nor Japanese one of Playful Kiss as he did not want to be influenced by them. The point of Playful Kiss is to see how cold BaekSeunJo will change. According to him, he tried to become SeunJo at EP 1 and 2, perfectly getting into the character from EP 3 and 4.
KHJ: Being a genius, he is always lonesome boy. He is so clumsy in love that he does not know how to express his emotion, and that is the key point of SeunJo. However, he gradually tries to express his feeling, and I hope that the audience can see this process. In order to act as genius, it was hard for me to understand and learn difficult words and expressions.
Q: It is important for him in acting is to completely become a character himself. What kind of efforts, does he do for that ?
KHJ: First of all, I analyze the characteristics of my role. In case of Beak SeunJo, I have to look smart and confident enough to be IQ200 genius. To the contrary, he knows that he feels awkward in front of the girl he loves. He tries to control his emotion within himself. With all these points in mind, I have to become SeunJo.
At the same time, thinking of an entire storyline of the drama, I decided how to act by each episode. While reading of the script, I thought about expressing SeunJo’s changes, “ Shall I express to this extent in this episode ? then further to this extent in the next episode ? “ and so on.
Q: In Korean drama, there is almost no drama that the script is ready before shooting …..
KHJ: That is right! You may not believe me, but sometimes, we received a script five or 10 minutes before the shooting. Still in the later part of the drama, I already got into the role, it was much easier to act. So, even I received the scenario at the last minutes, the phrases quickly entered in my memory.
Q: I had this interview in December. After continuously working without any rest, it was a pitty that he looked so tired. So, I asked him what he would like to do if he had free time.
KHJ: Well I would like to go to somewhere people does not recognize me , going to a hot spring, having a glass of beer, and so on. Also it will be nice for me to enjoy soccer.
Even this seems to be difficult for him. He would like to start this year from music activities, balancing actor/singer activities on half-half basis.
KHJ: The current challenge for me is to make a success in the first solo album. I would like to make it the best so that I can expect good reaction and reputation. During the production process, I decided the entire image of music video by myself, challenging in selection of the songs. In the next album, many of my own ideas are included.
Not only in Korea nor Japan, one of the most though things that we are afraid of is “ fear of losing love from all of you “. I know that if the popularity goes up once, then it will go down. However, I believe that if I try hard, the fans will not leave me, continuously giving their support to me. Therefore, I think that I will be able to keep my own positioning , if I continue to work hard.
Interviewer: Yes, you are right. No matter how much suffering you may have, you have to continue to run, that is the star !

Q: In Korea, when u acted in this musical called [Grease], u combed the famous John Travolta hairstyle, did you find the hairstyle looks cool?
A: Sigh… I dont really like it, but it is my 1st time trying out that kind of hairstyle, even the fans were shocked! I still remember the 1st day of the musical, I did my very best to dance and sing on the stage. But I still hear bits of laughter here and there at the audience area, and it was all the hairstyle fault. It was real embarrassing!
Q: Totally wont want to do the same hairstyle for the 2nd time?
A: The hairstyle in [Love Ya] is a little similiar to that [Grease] hairstyle but it has a more modern style. Thus, if you comb in a more modern fashionable way it will be ok for me. But I really hate my hairstyle in the [Grease] Musical.
Q: So, which kind of hairstyle you wouldnt want to have?
A: Not the kind of five to five (Centre parting kinda hairstyle.)
Q: Now that you have started your solo activities in Japan, did the rest of the members from SS501 gave you any comments or recommendations?

Q: Will you be dancing?
A: Of course! It will be a very dynamic and rock dance which is totally different is that it will be a very powerful dance. Everything is still not firm yet, but it will be confirm at the beginning of Nov, will be announced before the “Bond of the Boys” musical.
Q: Talking about this, heard that you nearly wanna quit acting in the “Bond of the Boys” Musical. Can you tell us the reason?
A: Not so much because of busy schedule, it is more because of the musical performances have a certain degree of difficulty! Because that is not something that can accomplish by myself alone. You got to practice over and over again, in order to stand on that stage which is not easy at all. Thus, I have the intention to quit during that time. And also I am afraid that I couldnt get along with everyone. It is also the same when acting for [Grease]. We have lots of practices prior to the opening performance!
Q: So now you are very busy till there isnt enough time for you to sleep?
A: Yup! I even had mouth inflammation. Now I am still not that busy but I will work hard. Hwaiting!

I am still deciding! “Bond of the Boys” name is also not bad, there is this word “bond” inside the name isn’t it?
Q: Will you be singing any SS501 songs or any other songs during your FM in Nov?
A: The albums that we released in Japan really have lots of nice songs in them. During the time, I have thought of performing the songs which that were never performed before, like dance songs! Those which can showcase the sexy side of me, I am willing to try to learn and practice.
Q: So to say, ballads are still remain as the main songs?
A: I like it! Because I hate to perspire…(laughs). The ballad songs that I love most are my own songs (laughs). The song “Only Me” which I released in Taiwan is a song which I written the lyrics myself. I really like that song very much. It is a song which contains a lot of my emotions inside.
Q: How do you feel when singing ballads?
A: Close your eyes, put all your feelings into the songs, imagine and thinking back the moment, the mood when you are writing the lyrics of this song.
Q: Lastly, can Jung Min tell us what you think sexy is?
A: Okie… where is it?? Hmmmm…. Butt!!!
Q: Small butt?
A: Not only must be small, it must be perky!
Q: (Reporter did a hand sliding upwards gesture)In this manner??
A: Please do not use hand to describe (laugh~) It is a little disgusting… Xiao Bu Bu (Reporter’s surname) I hate you! (laughs~)
Q: I am sorry… so u meant perky butt?

PAYING ATTENTION TO THE LYRICS, ALWAYS REMIND HIMSELF TO USE HIS HEART AND SOUL TO SING
Reporter: You had your 1st Solo Japan Presscon during autumn last year. Are you nervous during that time?
JM: Due to that it is the 1st presscon, I was a little nervous. But it was only a while, when i start to let go of the tension and happily proceed on with the presscon.
Reporter: What is it that you have learn?
JM: President Roy from the firm was there too thus I have learn how to communicate and interact.
Reporter: Your language skills are improving. In actual fact, you have been to many countries and collaborate with the people in China and Japan. When facing new people, dont you fear? What is the secret for being loved by people?
JM: The secret is having honest heart to heart communication. Interpersonal relationships has nothing to do with age gap as long as you open your heart to others, others will do the same to you.
Reporter: I can totally get what you feel. So being an excellent singer, what is the thing u need to do?
JM: Put your heart and soul to sing. You have to pay attention to the melody as well as the lyrics and then put your heart in to sing.
Reporter: So this is why your songs can be in people's mind for so long. Recently, you have been writing lyrics, is there any specific time or place to do it?
JM: Normally I would lie on the bed, listen to the melody repeatedly while doing my lyrics composing. Or when alone in the car, when finding/ myself.

Then "Do You Know" is a soft rock song telling of a conversation of reuniting couples. "Everyday is Christmas" is a bossa nova christmas song.
Reporter: In every song, we can see your varying emotions. Thus, during recording are there any difficulties or anything that leave a deep impression?
JM: When recording "NOT ALONE", the most difficult part is the discussion of the melody and the composing of lyrics. Especially the songs "Do You Know" and "EveryDay is Christmas" there are lots of differences of ideas in the lyrics thus we wasted lot of time there. But I am happy that I can project my thinking into this recoding.
Reporter: Next I would like to talk about the song "Not Alone". With this topic, can you tell us the relationship between your colleagues, friends and fans and their support towards you.

[trans] Kim hyunjoong in Spring Magazine
***
The next superstar which will represent Asia is...
Kim Hyun Joong.
Kim Hyun Joong.
In the center of the unprecedented second Hanryu boom, there are a lot of superstars, talented in both of singing and acting. Kim Hyun Joong, introduced in the top, is a member of SS501, one of the most popular pop group in Korea ; he is now breaking into a stardom as an actor. With his crisp smile, he may knock out the Japanese girls ?
The person who accelerates the 2ndHanryu Boom is Kim Hyun Joong, a member of KPop group SS501, and is now spotlighted as a leading male actor. He called the attention as HanazawaRui (YoonJiHoo) of Korean version of BOF, climbing up the steps to the stardom after acting as a genius with a hot-cold personality, Irie Naoki (BaekSeungJo) in Playful Kiss. His popularity is rapidly growing without ceiling.
“ The year of 2010 was a substantial year for me, not only of shooting of my first leading role drama, Playful Kiss, but also having had a lot of opportunities to perform in many countries. I had very little time to stay in Korea. In Japan I was so busy, and it made me dizzy (laugh) When I am busy, I try to enjoy it to the maximum. Because I believe it will lead me to show my best performance as artist"
The role of cool, nice-looking guy which he acted in BOF and Playful Kiss is perfectly suited to him. Does he happen to be a hot-cold personality in a real life when he is in love ?
“ I am bashful in front of strangers, people may think that I am such type (laugh). But once I am fallen in love with someone, I completely devote myself to her. I can do for her every sort of things, leaving nothing to be desired. If I have a date with a girlfriend in Japan? Well, I would like to visit Sapporo (the metropolitan city in Hokkaido, the most noth part of Japan) and to enjoy a hotspring, looking at snowy landscape. “
“ It may be fantastic to see a beautiful scenary of the sea in an island of Okinawa where I visited once. I do not play any marine sport, to tell the truth, because I am afraid of being in the sea.”
Asked about his favorite female fashion style, he pointed out the cover page of our magazine, Spring. By sorting page by page, he said in Japanese “ this is NG ! “ , pointing the lady with mode-makeup (a bit heavy make-up style). In terms of both fashion and make-up, "I prefer a natural and crystal image. As a color, I like beige, white which gives refined, soft and warm image, rather than clear vivid colors such as red and yellow. When it comes to my fashion favorite, “grunge stle” is my basic. I like a long and loose top and tight pant. That’s my recent favorite style."
What are your objectives for 2011 ?
“ To release two solo albums as well as acting in one drama. I have an ambition to have a concert for all the Asian fans in future, and therefore, I would like to establish a solid position as singer with my solo albums. In drama, I would like to challenge for a villain part, and would like to act many characters, thus showing unforeseen part of myself. “
