According to Tita Lina, the manager, (the one standing in the 4th photo below)Hyun Joong’s friend, spoke to her in Filipino and is very accomodating.

She went there with Ms. Virginia, a friend she met through Kathy’s Bench. She also learned that Hyun Joong is currently in Jeju Island for some rest & relaxation. Very well deserved rest, I must say.

Korean star Kim Hyun Joong came to Taiwan this summer, completely grabbed the media’s attention, (and) attracted large number of fans wherever he went. He accepted an exclusive interview with , which would air tonight, where he would reveal his ideal girlfriend; a topic fan-boys and fan-girls would probably be very concerned about.
Kim Hyun Joong’s appearance this time, changed his previous flower boy image, (and) cut off his head of long hair, revealed (his) masculinity, but on defining what’s a real man, completely reversed the stereotypical image of a Korean male.
Korean star Kim Hyun Joong: “To me, the image of a real man, is not one that is strong, (but) is one who understands others, knows how to put in the effort, and is wholeheartedly accepting of others. Perhaps this may appear on the outside as one who’s not like a man, but I think this is actually what a real man should be.”
Although he holds the hopes of being a man who will always put in the effort and is considerate of others, the busy Kim Hyun Joong didn’t hide the fact that every time (in a relationship), it was the girlfriend who would suggest a break up. Being single now and touching on the topic of ideal girlfriend, (he said) she cannot be the type who only knows how to boil water.
The host, Fang Nian Hua: “You’re so busy everyday; in terms of eating must be very simple, (as) you probably can’t eat normally three meals a day, for e.g. when you were rushing your album, or during shooting, you would eat very simply.”
Hyun Joong: “Talking of this…I am the type who will eat whatever others give me.”
Host Fang Nian Hua: “He’s so easy to keep, instant noodle also no problem.”
Kim Hyun Joong: “Even if you give me instant noodle is fine, as long as it can fill me up, then it’s all right.”
Fang Nian Hua: “So if it’s someone you like, once you’re married, as long as she can boil water is fine?”
Kim Hyun Joong: “No, that cannot be. If that’s how she is, I won’t like her.”
Twenty-five-year-old Kim Hyun Joong, now sprinting forward in the entertainment industry, had originally planned to marry five years later, (but) candidly said now that it would have to wait; young but yet has deep thoughts, with full confidence in the future, his golden-charm will continue to rush through Asia. For more exciting contents, please stay tuned for tonight’s .

[FanAccount] A MOTHER OF A LITTLE FAN GIRL!

reposted from KHJ thread@Soompi

It’s been a long while since I last posted here. Work is my excuse, hahaaaha! But of course there was never a time that I do not think of all my friends here, I miss you guys, I don’t see much posts form you too!

So true that KHJ landed and hi-touched so many Filipino fans in Manila. Although I was not there physically, I have everyone in my prayers for the succes of the event.

To the older and pioneer posters and contributors here may still remember me and my daughter Iccy. I have shared so many spazz and stories about my darling Iccy and her favorite man, Kim Hyun Joong. At the age of 3, she saw KHJ in WGM and from then on became a fan, that was three years ago. Just like a normal fan girl, she giggled over KHJ everytime she re-watched his dramas and SS501 mv’s. She’s basically like us, a total fan girl.

But last August 25, 2011, her dream came true. We all worked on it and prayed for a small miracle to happen. Out of the 400 fans in the event it was only Iccy that KHJ asked to have a photo- op. My daughter was mesmerized and starstruck at her idol. Who wouldn’t be? It’s not everyday that you get to meet and hug and had a photo op with your idol.^^

I have thanked so many people that made this a realtiy for my darling Iccy but the biggest thanks goes to the man himself, KIM HYUN JOONG. You were very generous, you loved kids, it shows in the pics and fancams and you showed how much you love your fans regarding of age and my Iccy was the real proof of that.

KOMAWO KIM HYUN JOONG for this magical moment with Iccy, a mother can only do as much but you did too much and I will be forever grateful to you. LEADER!

[News] Kim Hyun Joong Hopes to include Philippines in Asia Tour

MANILA, Philippines – Overwhelmed by the immense support of Filipino fans, hallyu singer and actor Kim Hyun Joong promised that he’ll try his best to include the Philippines in his Asia tour that will start in December.

Kim Hyun Joong revealed this and more during his press conference at the EDSA Shangri-La Hotel in Mandaluyong City last Aug. 25.

The popular star is in the Philippines to promote his first solo album, “Break Down”, released by PolyEast Records, and meet his Filipino fans through a “High Five Touch” event at the TriNoma Activity Center in Quezon City.

This is Kim Hyun Joong’s second visit to the Philippines. He was here last year to perform at a concert.

During the press conference, Kim Hyun Joong talked about his new album, successful career, his supportive fans and future plans.

He said he was overwhelmed by the show of support he got from his fans when he arrived in the country.

“I was shocked and amazed by the fans who greeted me at the airport and here [hotel),” he said.

At the TriNoma event, the first 500 fans who bought the album were given the chance to have a “high-five" with Kim Hyun Joong.

“Break Down” is one of the most important milestones in Kim Hyun Joong’s career since debuting in 2005.

He said he was involved in making the album.

“I was involved in all the processes that went through with the album: jacket, the lyrics, melody. With your love, this will be a great success,” he said.

The mini-album features the title track that's produced by Ken Lewis who has worked with Eminem, Kanye West, Usher and John Legend.

“All the songs in the album are great. [For me] ‘Break Down’ is the best,” he said.

He has also released music videos for “Break Down” and “Kiss Kiss.” Asked what is the most memorable music video for him in the album, he said, “I tried my best for all the music videos that I’ve made. I cannot say right away.”

But the “Kiss Kiss” music video seemed to have stuck in his mind as he joked that it was the lowest budget music video.

Kim Hyun Joong revealed that his second album will be released in October and he will hold a concert and Asia tour in December.

“In October, there will be second album coming out and in December, there’s a concert and Asia tour. I’m not sure yet [about the venues] but I will try to include the Philippines,” he said.

There is also a plan for a free concert for his fans but he’s not sure of the details.

Asked what would be her next goal after conquering singing, acting and modeling, Kim Hyun Joong said as of now, he is focusing on being a singer and actor.

He said he cannot choose his preference between singing and acting since he loves them both.

“Again, it’s very hard to pick. Both of them are my professions and I’m loving it,” he said.

He said that there are challenges on being a solo artist.

“There have been a lot of actions and moments while I was doing my job and I’m expecting more,” he said.

He added that singing and acting are the two things that make him happy.

“It’s all related to what I’m doing and what I love and that would be singing and acting,” he said.

He revealed despite the hard work he’s doing, his fans have kept him going.

“When I’m on the stage, I feel like I’m getting tired but every time I have contact with the fans, that’s the time I get recharged,” he said.

On musical influences, Kim Hyun Joong cited Korean musician Seo Taiji as one of those who have made an impact to his career.

“There are a lot of Korean musicians who helped me out and brought me to what I am now. One of them is Seo Taji, one of the famous Korean singers and a (musical) legend,” he said.

At the conclusion of the press conference, he thanked his Filipino fans.

“Thank you for all the love that you have showered me. I’ll try to include the Philippines in the Asia tour. I will try to bring better songs and better performances,” Kim Hyun Joong said.

“Break Down” is exclusively distributed by PolyEast Records in cooperation with KeyEast Entertainment and CJ E&M Korea. The “High Five Touch” event was held with the help of TriNoma, Edsa Shangri-La, The Black Fleet, Astroplus, Sparkling, MYX, and Manila Bulletin.
