Indeed, one would not be able to hide their profession. It suddenly came to my mind when I chanced upon Kim HyunJoong on the street. He has currently put a temporary halt on his singing career and concentrating on acting. But every now and then he shows that he is missing the stage.
Recently on my way back after covering a news report, I passed by a famous studio. There was a van in front of the studio, there was someone dancing diligently and walking out. I looked more carefully and it was Kim HyunJoong. His body was swaying lightly and he was swinging his arms, and humming to himself.
It turned out that what I have seen is Kim HyunJoong’s habit. Whether he is walking on the street or taking a short break, as seen in these photos, he does not let his body stop for even awhile. This is a habit of a leader of an idol group who dominated the scene awhile back.
His front hair was styled back showing his forehead, which reminds me of Elvis Presley. His make-up was completely done too. It seems like he has just finished a photo shoot or commercial filming in that studio, and only changed to casual clothes before coming out.
Pretty boys just look like pretty boys. Even when he wears a plain training suit, he shines as if he is wearing a branded suit. He wore a white hoodie and black training pants that goes to his knees. Always seen in luxurious and neat clothes, he looks approachable in this free and easy style.
He looks like he has lost a lot of weight because of the new drama on hand. Because he got thinner, his face contour became more defined and his jaw line is sharper. Because of his sharp facial features, he gives off an appeal of a matured guy.
Kim HyunJoong is filming for MBC TV ‘Mischievous Kiss’ to be broadcasted on 1-Sep. Kim HyunJoong acts as UmChinAh** Beak SeungJo, who will capture the hearts of female viewers.
**Short form for ‘Mother’s Friend’s Son’, like u know when ur mother tells u about her friend’s son who is always better academically and in all other ways, so it’s used to describe someone who is very good and gains the likes of mothers.

Through August 12th-18th, music portal site Monkey3 held a poll asking, “Who would you pick as your avatar to control?”
If you guys don’t know, the term ‘avatar’ refers to MBC’s popular variety show Hot Brothers. In the show, people who are the ‘avatars’ are the people who are controlled by other people to go on a date in place of them. The controller of the avatar then commands them what to do throughout the whole entire date.
The winner of Monkey3’s poll was none other than Kim Hyun Joong who had 47% of the votes (395 votes out of the total 836).
The second place went to Big Bang’s Seungri (16%) and the third place went to actor So Ji Sub (13%).
Following the top three were Lee Minho, Se7en and DJ DOC’s Lee Ha Neul.
Netizens who chose Kim Hyun Joong commented things such as, “Instead of controlling him, I want to date him, ” “I think Kim Hyun Joong wouldn’t obey the commands” and “I wish he can really make an appearance in the show.“

Report on 1st Love Story Shooting in Hamana Lakeside Plaza
by lafone's friend
Japanese to English translation by lafone / liezle.blogspot.com
I saw Leader at 7:30am when he was about to leave the hotel (Rihga Royal Hotel in Osaka) . He waved his hands to the fans many times till when the car left the hotel.
I spotted him on the platform of Bullet train, Hikari leaving 8:40am from Osaka.
In the train, I was sitting two seats back from him. As he arrived at the platform 10 minutes before the departure time, there were already plenty of fans following him. He seemed tired; smile disappeared from his face, and therefore, I could not take a picture though I had a chance.
At Hamamatsu station now ! He seemed to have fallen into sleep immediately when the bullet train left Osaka. He always keeps a backpack with a Chinese hat (?) Mr. Kim, Director of DSP Media picked him up at the station. (It is said that he also attended BOF event as well)
The shooting of us (lucky enough to have been chosen for “extra” as guests to attend the wedding ceremony) started one hour later than expected. Poor children! They were required to walk again and again, scattering flower petals on the Virgin Road under blazing sun. When we heard “cut”, everyone applauded !
Now the shooting of Leader, dressed in tuxedo, started. When he stopped just in front of the virgin road, we lets go the balloons, then applause. He was also asked to do this again and again. However, in front of us, he said to us “Though it is hot, Kenchana ! Let’s work hard together ! “ or “ I’m ashamed” . Each time he stopped in front of us, he talked to us something. Before the director said “Ready! Action!,” he was so cute, but once we heard “Ready ! Action !”, he completely changed his face expression , becoming the character of the story, a real actor !!! We were so tired of applauding many times, but he made us laugh by gesturing “stop applauding” immediately after the voice of “cut” by the director.
The next was to shoot the scene Leader received a flower bouquet from a little girl. Leader accepted by kneeling in front of the girl. The girl tightly holds the index finger of Leader until she was asked to leave it. She was so nervous which Leader recognized, smiling at her to make her relax. During the “standby” hours, he made many pictures with children, staff, and so on.
There was no bride, but he acted as bridegroom, extending his hand to the “the bride” Contrary to the rehearsal scene, he made NG many times as he seemed to feel awkward, laughing himself, so cute ^^
During the waiting time, he answered to questions made by the fans. He also asked us where we were from. It was amazing that there were fans who came from Seoul. When a middle-aged lady called him “Oppa”, he seemed to get shocked, a bit angry ? However, we made fun, calling many times “Oppa “ He also went to the fans who were watching far as they were not extra. In this way, the shooting continued for three hours.
He repeatedly said “it’s hot !” He was always dressed in tuxedo even under the blazing sun but he always looked cool. I realized how hard the shooting is ! Each time we heard “cut”, we applauded him. When, the director said “Once more”, we shouted “ Fighting!” then he nodded, or laughed. When everything was finished, there was a big big applause.
Finally, a group photo session of 20 people. He made a thank you comments to the fans “ thank you for supporting the shooting, and thank you again for observing the don’ts “ Then a surprise gift from him !!! He shook hands with us one by one, with eye contact for each of us.
I was so lucky to be able to see him just in front of me, chatting, laughing together, so happy moment. He was so~~~~~ cool when he changed to an actor, “Ready ! Action !” He was really really, nice-looking , cool guy.
