Park Jung Min bought a $10,000 worth of watch as birthday present

I know ever since, Mal would spend a lot if he thinks it's worth buying for. And since it is a birthday present for himself, why not buy it right? ^^ I remember during 'Thanks for Raising Me Up' days, there was a scene where he bought a pillow online and was delivered to his house. ^^ Anyways, here are the rest of the interview with our beloved Park Jung Min. I like his hair shorter, but I know he needs to keep it long for the drama he will be filming.

In addition, Park Jung Min will head back to Japan to promote, but he is not worried about the local radiation problem.

South Korea popular group SS501′s member Park Jung Min came to Hong Kong a few days ago, fans even wished him (a happy birthday). During his interview with the reporter, he revealed that he bought a HK $10,000 watch for himself as his birthday present. He was asked if he is intending to buy a property, he laughed and said ‘This is next year’s birthday present, i hope fans will help me!’

Filming of Taiwan Drama

Park Jung Min will be filming a Taiwan drama but he does not know the detail, he was told that he needed to keep his hair long and learn horse-riding. He already requested to his company that he does not want to exposed himself (body), but will cooperate if there is a kissing scene. Park Jung Min said ‘I hope fans will not get jealous, just imagine that the actress is you!’ He will be filming Korean drama and film at the second half of the year, he is okay even if the content (of the drama/film) is about older woman and younger man love. Park Jung Min was friendly throughout the interview session, he also spoke Chinese from time to time to engage in the atmosphere, a reporter accidentally hit the lampshade, he actually used Chinese to ask the lampshade ‘Are you okay?’

Park Jung Min wants to get married soon and have 20 kids

Whoa!!! 20 kids?? Mal, it's like more than one basketball team! ^^

Shopping in Hong Kong

Even though this was not the first time JungMin has arrived in Hong Kong, it was his first time coming alone (as himself – “Park JungMin” and not as “SS501’s Park JungMin”) to promote his first solo album . JungMin says, “My time in Hong Kong is short and the schedule is very tight. However, I am still able to feel all my fans’ support, and this makes me very happy. Just as before, Hong Kong fans are very passionate!” And despite the tight schedule and all, JungMin took time out to go shopping, buying things to the extent of needing to get a new luggage to pack all his new stuff.

Lyrics about Love

For JungMin’s first album, he showcased his lyrics-writing talent by penning the words for all three songs. Upon release of his album, the songs are well-received by fans. This increased JungMin’s confidence greatly! JungMin says, “After releasing my mini album, I feel a great boost in confidence as a person and as a singer. When I was filling in the words for the songs, I would incorporate some imagination as well as my personal thoughts, feelings and experiences about love.” JungMin revealed that his initial thoughts about the lyrics for were not the same as what fans finally saw as the end product. He explained that there was a change of thought flow as he was penning the words.
 
Feeling Sad when his Feelings are not Reciprocated

This month, JungMin will release his repackaged album, which includes two new songs titled, “Like tears are Falling” and “Go, go”. These two songs reflect JungMin’s feelings, especially the album’s hit song, “Like tears are falling”. Speaking of tears, JungMin does have his fair share of sad moments! Though this may seem to be in contrast to the image he portrays – a cheery man whose signature look is his dazzling smile, JungMin explains, “There will be times when I am sad, because I value feelings a lot. If I am nice to someone, I will feel sad when that person do not reciprocate the same feeling(s).”

Celebrated His Birthday on top of a Mountain

Everyone has happy and sad moments. For JungMin, because he has the love and support of so many fans, we are quite sure that the number of happy times he experiences far exceeds the number of sad times! Just earlier this month, JungMin had his 24th birthday. He wanted to spend his birthday with his fans and thus he was not able to celebrate it with his friends. He recalled, “There was once when my friends and I went to hike a mountain, and we ended up celebrating my birthday on the mountain peak. It was really unforgettable. I really wish to celebrate with my friends again.” It must have been such a sight to try to compete with the wind to blow out the candles on top of the mountain!
 
Wants to Have Twenty Children

As his birthday wish, JungMin made a simple request: a healthy body to allow him to fulfill his scheduled work. AH, but how could we just let him off with such a simple wish! After some probing, we found out an exclusive piece of news for readers. JungMin says, “I hope to get married soon. Even though I have no expectations as to when I get married, I hope it will be as soon as possible! This is because I wish to have many children. Hopefully, I can achieve my wish of having twenty girls and boys.” Oh my! What a wish! Even if he has triplets, he would need seven years to achieve his goal! Hmmm… all the best, JungMin!

Filming Taiwanese Drama in May

It will be difficult for JungMin to find time to accomplish his wish this year. Haha! His work schedule for this year has been set and it is so packed! JungMin says, “I plan to record a Chinese song and have it released by the end of this year. At the same time, in May, I would be going to Taiwan to film a drama. Though I do not know the plot or storyline of the drama as yet, I am very excited about it! Also, I would be filming a Korean movie during the second half of 2011.” JungMin is really developing in three big areas – the world of singing, small screens (TV) and the big screens (movie)! It is known that his character for the Taiwanese drama have been specially tailored to fit him. We wonder if he will be acting as a witty singer in that drama!?

 Best at Counting Money

JungMin’s work ethic has been cultivated since he was a little boy. JungMin says, “Since young, I have been a high-energy person. Also, when I was much younger, my family was relatively not so well-to-do, and we do not have much money. It was a more difficult life, and it was also a lonelier one. Thus, I appreciate everything I have. And I will do my best for everything, always giving my all in order to complete them.” Indeed, JungMin remains as lively and appreciative as when he was young. JungMin says, “When I was studying, the subjects I am most confident was physical education (sports and games), the arts and music. Mathematics was my worst subject. However, I am best at counting money! Haha!”
 
Witty Girl-friend

Music is easily mastered by the talented JungMin. Given his great improvements, learning Mandarin also seems so easy to him. Not only is he able to answer interview questions in Mandarin, he is also able to write Chinese characters! JungMin says, “The people working with me are able to converse in Mandarin, thus, I was able to enquire them for help when learning to speak the language.” With his Mandarin, we are sure he will have no problems getting even a Mandarin-speaking girl as his girl-friend! JungMin says, “I like girls who are confident and knows how to dress appropriately for occasions. And I really like a girl who is always joyful, full of smiles, and has a witty sense of humor.” If ever such a cheery girl is with such a cheery JungMin, it would really be a match made in heaven!

I have eaten the Takoyaki and Gyudon before. And between the two, I love Gyudon! ^^ After so long, Hyun Joong decides to leave a message regarding his visit in Osaka soon and discussed about his upcoming album. ^^ I want to see his short hair and his manly look. ^^ 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello, this is Hyun Joong
2011/04/29　　Hyun Joong

I will go to Osaka on 2nd May.

In Osaka, I want to eat Takoyaki(ball-shaped dumpling filled with baby octopus) and of course I also want to eat Gyu-don (Beef bowl) too.
Japanese fans will be seeing me in my short hair. Do not be surprised at the style that you are not used to see.
Recently I’m into sports and my body has become bigger… From now onwards, I would be showing everyone the manly feeling.
In June (at Korea), we are planning a showcase for the sales of the album, please look forward to it.
The choreography, jacket etc for the album…. all parts have been taken with care one by one so please take your time to look at it.
After May has passed and when June comes, let’s fly up together once more.
At that time, I will bring the album to visit Japan so please look forward to it.
Please be live well and smile happily. Thank you.

Photoshoot on a day in Spring
2011/04/26　Keyeast SY

Hello~
I’m Keyeast staff, SY.

Yesterday, Hyun Joong had a short photoshoot and so I have made a trip down too~
It takes 2 hours to travel by car from Seoul.
As the high rise buildings and cars slowly lessen, a beautiful house stood in the middle of the quiet moutains.
This is where the photoshoot will be taken at.

Could it be due to his hair which was a bit shorter, the Hyun Joong I met looked more mature and manly than usual~(laughs)
Looking more like spring with the sun shining on the beautiful house which stood between the mountains made it a perfect day for photoshooting yesterday.

Hyun Joong, looking like a professional in the midst of the photoshooting around the house! Looks promising!!!
Only a professional could do that. I think everyone would feel the same too that every time looking at the photos and videos etc, don’t you feel that Hyun Joong looks as if he had slowly grown up to become a man.

While filming at the mountains under spring like pleasant blue sky, suddenly the sky became gloomy and the wind was strong.
By afternoon, even the tree built house shook.
I’m certain that I have grown up yesterday! Feels like I have~changed.
Even with everyone running around, Hyun Joong was really professional and did not move at all while facing the camera. While looking at him, a sigh came out from my mouth naturally ..
During the indoor photo shoot, there was a shoot with a 4 month old kitten.
Photo shooting together with Hyun Joong is a kitten know as the next “Geum Soon”

Very easy to get aquainted with and a very cute kitten.

After the photo shoot has ended here, Hyun Joong went together with the staff to a nearby Baeksuk (chicken stew, similar to samgyetang) restaurant, eating delicious Baeksuk and happily finishing the photoshoot.
By the way, what is this photoshoot?
Everyone, please anticipate it~

One more thing on the Korea Official Fanclub, it has been decided that Henecia to be the fanclub name.
Henecia is from the word blessed Kim Hyun Joong where Hyun Joong’s name “H” and the latin word Bencia (blessed) was put together. It means people who are blessed because of Kim Hyun Joong.
From now onwards, the fanclub might have recruiting announcements so please look forward to it~

SS501 Kim Kyu Jong plays the role that is different from his personality

I think he was referring to Prince Shin's character which is smug, indifferent, insensitive young man. Well, Kyu Jong really is not insensitive. In fact, he is a very kind, thoughtful and caring person which makes all the girls fall for him. I'm so excited to see him play this role. ^^ 

Interview with Kyu Jong


Kim Kyu Jong appeared in a beige suit costume for the Musical 'Goong'


This time, Kyu Jong plays the role of Crown Prince Lee Shin .

Musical Palace [Korean Version] Juno of TVXQ played the same role.

Question: What would be the character of Prince Lee Shin in Kyoto performances?
 
KyuJong:  "Prince Lee Shin is the character played by senior Juno, if there is that type of manly charisma, I think I want to show you a soft form of relaxation"


Question: What is the difference in the character of Lee Shin in the drama with the usual Kyu Jong?

KyuJong: "I better not say a lot, so clearly the type of things other people say, I'm Lee Shin opposite character. On stage, I'll try to get out of your usual (laughs)"

What is one of the common personalities that SS501 members possess? It's not letting the fans get disappointed.

One factor why they have so many fans that adore them. Here's an article that proves this statement. Remember Young Saeng just got injured a few says ago?

On 25 Apr, Heo Young Saeng participated in <> “RUNNING MAN” recording at Seoul SBS Lobby. On 19 Apr, he accidentally injured the back of his hand while practicing for his dance which caused the release of his album to be delayed, insisted to keep his recording appointment for “RUNNING MAN”.

His company B2M stated “The doctor did warn him to wait for his hand to be fully recovered and to restraint from outside activities.” But because he want to keep to his promise for the agreed schedule as before thus he proceeded with the recording. Thus the production team and the artistes gave Young Saeng very high evaluation for coming to record with his bandaged cast on.

Heo Young Saeng’s raid gave a reversal effect. Him in a bandaged cast making all the artistes panic. Even though injured, he still do not bother to hide himself and still struggled alone making Young Saeng shone brightly.

Heo Young Saeng initially is going to start his solo activities on the 28 Apr. But due to the state of his injuries, there is no choice but to delay his activities. Fortunately, his recovery is fast thus they have schedule him to do his comeback at around mid May, and to re-adjust his schedule.
