Remember when a fan uploaded those photos of Kim Hyun Joong in China?
Guess it only got crazier.

Kim, who is the face (har har) of cosmetic brand, The Face Shop, visited Beijing on January 4 to promote the brand and have a fan meeting. A slew of online community sites have been graced with Kim′s China photos since his arrival

The photos capture just how crazy Chinese fans are for Kim, as all the venues are packed to capacity. In one photo, Kim is seen with his arm around a female fan′s shoulder, with the other hand making a heart sign with her. Bet you feel jealous right about now.

The fans weren′t the only ones flocking to the venues – Chinese media outlets also scurried to wherever Kim was to get the scoop on the hallyu star, while Kim’s fan meeting became a topic in neighboring countries as well. Kim ranked second in the list of most searched words on Yahoo! Singapore.

Meanwhile, Kim will be appearing on China’s Lunar New Year special program Spring Festival Evening Show, which is set to air on January 23 on Liaoning TV.

An official from the program said, “Kim Hyun Joong is looking forward to spending his Lunar New Year in China for the first time. He will be performing at his best with a 20 member dance team.

Repost from http://blackrose50101.webs.com/


Kim Hyun Joong, IU and 2AM were chosen as the most anticipated K-Pop stars for 2012 in Japan.

The Yomiuri, one of Japan’s prominent daily newspapers, featured brief introductions of IU, Kim Hyun Joong and 2AM on January 1, writing,‘Although in 2011, many dance groups appealed, the types of Korean singers to debut in 2012 are of a different kind. There will be a lot to look forward to.’


About IU, it reported, ‘She’s called the Nation’s little sister in Korea, and the mini album she released at the end of [2011] is of a different feel from previous K-Pop pieces, with mellow songs featuring strings and piano melodies.’

IU released her first mini album, IU, in Japan on December 14, and on the day of its release, managed to rank no. 7 on the Oricon Daily Album Chart. The album is comprised entirely of IU’s Korean hits, which makes her appearance on the top ranks of the chart all the more surprising.

About Kim Hyun Joong, who rose as a new hallyu star with the Korean drama Boys over Flowers, the Yomiuri expressed the expectations it held toward his activities by saying that ‘the imported version [of Boys over Flowers] was a bit hit in Japan, also’.

As for 2AM, which will be making its debut in Japan with a single album titled Never Let You Go on January 10, the paper said, ‘The group is one that appeals with its music, and you must listen for the members’ beautiful harmonies.’

2AM’s single album Never Let You Go showed it was off to a good start by rising to the top of Tower Records’ online advance sales chart on January 4. The group also sold out tickets to its Japan tour concert in just 10 minutes after it opened on January 17.

Never Let You Go contains three songs, including the Japanese versions of Even If I Die, I Can’t Send You and I’m Sorry I Can’t Laugh for You.

Old favorites and newcomers alike, K-Pop does seem to be off to a great start again in the world.

Kim Hyun Joong to host fan meet with a talk show format



Hallyu star Kim Hyun Joong will be holding his first fan meet of the year on January 21st at Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul. And although there is a fee to get in, it will only cost fans around $17 USD.

It’s been announced that the entrance fee will amount to roughly $17 USD per attendee. Rather than being held at a small-scale venue, the fan meet is being held at Jamsil Stadium, which can seat over 7,000 people.

The fan meet will be different from ordinary fan meets and the format will feel more like a talk show. Kim Hyun Joong will also be performing ten songs total from his first mini album ‘Breakdown‘ and his second mini-album ‘Lucky‘. To be honest, the fan meet is no different from a small concert.

Korean artists who use the facility and all of its lighting and sound equipment charge an entrance fee of anywhere between 40~70 USD, but Kim Hyun Joong is not even charging half that. He may break even if lucky, but will most likely lose money over the event.

Key East Entertainment‘s Music Business Director Kang In Suk remarked, “Honestly, the fan meet is no different from a small independent concert, but we are proceeding because Kim Hyun Joong requested that we do it this way. We will not be making any money, and we are thinking of it as a special service for the fans.”

The fan meet was also scheduled abruptly without much notice, and the reason for that is Kim Hyun Joong will be spending a lot of time in Japan this year promoting his music. He did not want his Korean fans to feel disappointed, and is starting the new year off right by greeting them first.

Kim Hyun Joong’s love for his fans does not stop there. A large corporation had proposed to do a promotion with the singer, but Kim Hyun Joong refused. Director Kang explained, “He did not want the fans to spend their money so that he could earn some more money.”

Since his debut with SS501, Kim Hyun Joong has been known for being unique and being a man of his word. And even at super stardom, he has not changed a bit. He is aware that it is the fans that made him into who he is today, and his love for them is unparalleled.

Director Kang remarked, “From the agency’s point of view, we know the company could benefit a lot more if he would give in, and it’s too bad. However when I look at him as just another person, he is truly a real, unwavering man of his word,” and gave a thumbs up.

Meanwhile, it was recently discovered that the singer also donated over $80,000 to a good cause without even telling his agency. Compared to other celebrities that announce their charity work through press releases, Kim Hyun Joong is an admirable young man.

Kim Hyun Joong is a celebrity who is making his agency spend money for his fans. For one reason or another, he will bring tears to the eyes of original Hallyu star Bae Yong Jun, the head of Key East Entertainment.
