[Article] The 2011 Mnet Asian Music Awards isn’t just an awards show, it’s K-pop heaven for fans

THE demand for Korean pop culture in Singapore is unquestionable. Fans take time out to catch the Korean dramas and movies on television, in the cinemas, online, and they don’t mind queuing up 36 hours before a concert starts – even if it’s just a short showcase of five songs. And they won’t think twice about forking out over S$100 just to have a meet-and-greet session with their favourite stars.
The K-pop phenomenon has spread like wild fire around the world, even in a place as secluded as Bhutan.
Last week, economist Song Seng Wun and his family were holidaying in the landlocked kingdom when something caugh this eye: A poster of Korean female pop group Girls’ Generation (or SNSD, the acronym for So Nyeo Shi Dae, the Korean name for the girls).
“K-pop fever has reached this high mountain, too!” wrote Song in an email to TODAY. “There are posters of SNSD, SHINee,etcetera. I cannot believe it!”
Come Nov 29, every K-pop fan – even those in Bhutan – will want to be at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, if only because our little island is playing host to the 2011 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA), the largest awards show celebrating Korean pop music. Co-produced by Mnet and MediaCorp VizPro International, this is only the second time the awards show is being staged outside of Korea since it first began back in 1999. (The first was in Macau last year.)
There will be 24 awards handed out during the four-hour extravaganza (six, if you include the two-hour red carpet segment), including awards for Album Of The Year, Best Music Video, Song Of The Year and Best Asian Artist.
What’s cool about this year’s do is that there will be a Singapore’s Choice category specially set up, and fans here can vote for their favourite band, such as 2PM, 2NE1, Beast, Big Bang, Girls’ Generation, TVXQ and more.
And, yes, there will be performances by top music acts such as Girls’ Generation, Super Junior, 2NE1, Kim Hyun Joong, Beast and Miss A. And movie and TV stars such as Lee Byung Hun, Kim Hee Sun, Han Chae Young, Yoon Eun Hae, Han Hyo Joo, Yoon Sung Ah, Oh Jee Ho and Kim Sung Soo will be along to present. And that’s only the tip of the K-pop iceberg.
Naturally, fans can’t wait to go. “Being part of something special and probably once in a lifetime experience is something I hope I won’t miss,” said Victoria Lee, 19, who is looking forward to catching 2NE1 and SNSD.
“Both groups are girl group power houses in Korea, and have their own unique charm,” she said. “I love 2NE1′s stage presence and how they can just rock out any stage. SNSD too, as I’ve followed them since their debut.”
Said 17-year-old student Tan Weiru: “I bought tickets (because of) the SM Entertainment artistes – SNSD Girls Generation, Super Junior and TVXQ (who aren’t going to be here because of their busy schedule). I was hoping for SHINee to come, too, but they didn’t get nominated … I’m looking forward to see 2NE1 and hopefully Big Bang too! Also, Song Joongki, because everyone seems to be such a big fan of his.”
“I’ll be going for 2NE1,” said Pearline Ng, 19. “If I have to pay the same price to only see 2NE1, I will (still) go. I like them because their music is different and they – especially CL – are very good on stage. (It’s) not so much the synchronised dances you see from SNSD or other K-pop groups, but more of them doing their own thing in their own style. Plus, I really like all of their songs. Nothing (other than not being able to get tickets) will stop me!”
Apparently, lots of people agree with her, considering the tickets are almost sold out. Said Lee: “You never know when MAMA is going to come back, or when another opportunity like this will come where tons of Korean celebrities are together in one place and event.”
The 2011 Mnet Asian Music Awards happens on November 29, 4pm (red carpet), 6pm (awards show) at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Limited S$198 free-standing tickets still available from Sistic. Vote for your favourite acts at http://mama.mnet.com. Closing date is Nov 25. Pick up the latest copy of 8-Days or i-weekly to vote for the Singapore’sChoice category. Closing date: Nov 27.

DJ Jung: Did you see what Kim Jin Ah ssi wrote to you… yesterday…in Paldang’s Maeuntang restaurant see Kim Hyun Joong & wanted to have his autograph (sign) but afraid to disturb Kim
Hyun Joong eating therefore I just left but seeing him at up close, he is really suave
Maeuntang (Hot Spicy Fish Soup). Restaurants that offer this dish often allow you to select your fish from an aquarium. Many specialty seafood restaurants have several aquariums from which you may select. Popular fishes for this dish include red snapper, sea bass, yellow corvina, codfish, globefish, croakers, pollacks, and even fresh water fish like carp. It can also be made with crab sand clams. (The price is calculated based on the weight of the fish.) The cleaned fish is cut into several pieces and boiled with ground beef and green vegetables such as watercress and garland chrysanthemum, along with red pepper paste. Hot pepper sauce and vegetables are added to this mixture, then it is seasoned with pepper powder, garlic, soy sauce, and more pepper paste. The main flavouring for this popular dish is fiery gochujang (red bean paste). This soup is one of Korean’s most popular side dishes when drinking. It can be made from left-over pieces of raw fish. If you order raw fish and rice, the soup is made from left-over parts of the fish.
Kim Hyun Joong: Oh!…yes…yesterday went to the restaurant to have a meal with the Dancer Hyungs together
DJ Jung: Therefore it is definitely Kim Hyun Joong
Kim Hyun Joong: Oh! Where was see sitting that she seen me?
DJ Jung: Oh Maybe she is one of the customers in the restaurant
Kim Hyun Joong: Then there is probably one of the two tables there
DJ Jung: That restaurant’s customer is so few
Kim Hyun Joong: No it is not that….it is full…the restaurant is not that big therefore we need to find somewhere in a more secluded corner…I didn’t eat Maeuntang, we just have Baek Chu (Napa Cabbage) & eel
DJ Jung: Ah just eat Baek Chu & eel…then this Kim Jin Ah ssi is one of the customers there
Kim Hyun Joong: She is probably my FAN
DJ Jung: She is definitely a FAN, wish to have an autograph but was afraid to disturb you but was deem unsuccessful, this matter must be really regretful for her
Kim Hyun Joong: Then in that case, Kim Jin Ah ssi, please leave your address, I will give my autograph to you
DJ Jung: Really…on a CD?
Kim Hyun Joong: Yes….on a CD
DJ Jung: Kim Jin Ah ssi…did you hear this…you have now strike…Kim Hyun Joong ssi want to give you a signed autograph CD, please give us your address & we will courier that to you…this is really great
Kim Hyun Joong: Yes…it is actually really delicious…I frequently go to that Maeuntang restaurant
DJ Jung: Is that so, then in which part of Paldang is it?
Kim Hyun Joong: It is where….you need to cross the Paldang Grand bridge
Paldang is located in the city of Namyangju, Gyeonggi-do. You can access there via the Jungang Line to Paldang station
The Paldang Daegyo (Grand Bridge) crosses the Han River in South Korea and connects the cities of Hanam and Namyangju. The bridge was completed in 1995. It is the easternmost bridge on the Hangang
DJ Jung: Oh! It is there…this album & the previous album, the time distance between them was that long about 5-6 months I reckon
Kim Hyun Joong: It was June the 1st album was release
DJ Jung: June was the 1st release of the mini album…now you are in the midst of preparing January next year mini album release..is that so?…
Kim Hyun Joong: No….next year January is a mini album release
DJ Jung: it is also a mini album
Kim Hyun Joong: In November, there will a digital single release
DJ Jung: It will also be release….as for the Japanese fan & the Korean fans…what is the different feel between them?
Kim Hyun Joong: In the past during when the Hallyu started, just when SS501 just went to Japan…the Japanese fan waves fans but then because of the language difference it was rather distance, but now it has change a lot, especially when they waver their fans & plastic bats with applause they now chant & yell with such warmth
DJ Jung: they will chant & yell together & happily in participation…I seen today news that Kara fan meeting has reach 14 billion yen it must be really exciting…what is your opinion towards this
Kim Hyun Joong: I feel that as the Hallyu pop culture is spreading further to masses, but to be deem on par in the world with the American music industry, there is a lot in lacking that we need to strive on
DJ Jung: Ah! Right….An hour before Kim Hyun Joong ssi came to the studio, Kim Hyun Joong ssi Fan club move in a lot of carton boxes into the studio as we thought who order take away. In the end, Kim Hyun Joong Fan Club sent us a lot of nicely packed & delicious food boxes for us, in comparison that it was really delicious but the thought that has been given to then it is really moving & touched one’s heart…it is really great…
Kim Hyun Joong: Yes…even where ever I go to places, they will do so….
DJ Jung: Ah!…also each box inside there is a coupon, inside the content it wrote that if you strike this coupon then it will be on laurel of Hyun Joong Oppa fortunes…I will keep this really carefully
Kim Hyun Joong: Oh! There is a coupon inside
DJ Jung: yes…a coupon…
Kim Hyun Joong: The W45 kind
DJ Jung: Yes that is correct
Kim Hyun Joong: Ah…if you strike then you need to buy from us another 100 pieces
DJ Jung: According to Kim Hyun Joong ssi has said that you wish to do band music
Kim Hyun Joong: Yes…
DJ Jung: When you were young, you wanted to form a rock band
Kim Hyun Joong: yes…when I was young, I formed a band but then at the time, it was not funky type….
DJ Jung: Rock?
Kim Hyun Joong: That time, it was Linkin Park, The Con, Metallica…those were the group we like
DJ Jung: But then you also play an instrument
Kim Hyun Joong: I played base…what kind of student was Kim Hyun Joong ssi was in his school days…what music did you favour when you were young
DJ Jung: It was base….
Kim Hyun Joong: When I was young…I was really naïve about matter…the thought that music was probably seen to rebel….the rebellion type…class that need to go, didn’t….school have changing rooms…over there play with friends
DJ Jung: Then at the time when you are young, you must have like just as you have mentioned “The Con” those kind of music
Kim Hyun Joong: Yes I did
DJ Jung: It seems there is a rebel influence
Kim Hyun Joong: yes…
DJ Jung: Don’t know why do you think that this kind of influence may be so well adaptable with
Kim Hyun Joong ssi
Kim Hyun Joong: Is that so?
DJ Jung: In comparison to that I feel that it is really cold & lonely
Kim Hyun Joong: yes…but at the time, I really felt happy
DJ Jung: The influence on Kim Hyun Joong. At the time you were playing base, that probably quite famous at the nearby neighbouring girl schools
Kim Hyun Joong: At the time during Middle & High school, the surrounding bands were relatively higher in standards therefore during school concerts, we will receive invitation to go there & perform
DJ Jung: At the time, you already have great repoire with the girls then
Kim Hyun Joong: Can’t say….at the time, I didn’t have a girlfriend…didn’t have conversation with one
DJ Jung: You are so suave looking that you don’t have a girlfriend…moreover..to think that probably you are a person wouldn’t have no girlfriend to be reckon…girlfriends should be aplenty…it will be really strange compares the person to the likes like Kim Hyun Joong ssi…wants to get close but feel it to be a distance feeling instead..just like the likes of us…we are the neighbourhood Oppa therefore to address as Oppa & to call Oppa is rather with ease
Kim Hyun Joong: It is not like that
DJ Jung: Now we will listen to Kim Hyun Joong’s song…Kim Hyun Joong ssi, why don’t you introduce the next song
Kim Hyun Joong: The next song is title “I am your Man”…it seems that this my 1st love song after my Solo activities
DJ Jung: This song is in this album
Kim Hyun Joong: Yes…it is recorded in there…it is a song that confesses to the woman you loved that is in your heart….I wanted to make this as a congratulating song for other to hear…among my fans there are a few who is about to married within this month….although I will not able to attend….but hoping for those who hear this song will have a happy & blissful marriage
DJ Jung: it is a song that is most appropriate to be sung on wedding to wish them happiness
Kim Hyun Joong: Yes….
DJ Jung: You will able to sense that it is like Kim Hyun Joong is coming to attend your wedding & singing this song to congratulate you, this song must feeling that when it is heard isn’t it?

Kim Hyun Joong: This song in comparison to say on television, it will be most appropriate to sing this live on a concert
DJ Jung: Is it really…when will there be a concert?
Kim Hyun Joong: it will probably be towards the end of January or early February
DJ Jung: is it a world concert?
Kim Hyun Joong: yes…a World Tour
DJ Jung: Oh…a World Tour….November 9th you will be touring Japan
Kim Hyun Joong: yes…November will be touring within Japan
DJ Jung: Then the nation tour will cover how many cities
Kim Hyun Joong: probably about 7 cities
DJ Jung: 7 cities….the fans will probably be really pleased

DJ Jung: Then this week you will be preparing this activities at the same time starts preparing for the concert
Kim Hyun Joong: Yes…at the same time preparing for concert…with album promotion activities
DJ Jung: Then you are really busy…now the variety show is quite a lot
Kim Hyun Joong: yes….because that the variety show has be added is too many then went I come to the show, I don’t know what else to say, but it is really apologetic that before the show, I has to meet with the producers…I had been to so many show that I felt that I have no more to say…now even whatever was on my memory are all been spoken
DJ Jung: yes…I can able to understand….just like us who has done this 10 years, each time what is the topic of the show..it feels that we are lost of words…don’t know what to talk any more
Kim Hyun Joong: yes…it is like the pot has reveals its bottom….
DJ Jung: But then my producers felt that whatever Kim Hyun Joong he doesn’t need to say anything…. just sitting down & smiling will be sufficient…don’t need to say anything…it is really fine
Kim Hyun Joong: But then the saying 10 hours sitting down it is really difficult
DJ Jung: yes…if we broadcast this for 10 hours, most of the people will know…listening to this already feels difficult…..just now you mentioned to give the fan who meet you from the Maeuntang restaurant a signed autograph CD, the comments site are now in frenzy…8853…Hyun Joong ssi in the year 2008, Winter…in a raw fish restaurant I seen you & a friend having drinks…7010…I am a school mate of Hyun Joong…we met a few times
Kim Hyun Joong: 7010…if I know his name…perhaps
DJ Jung: I think it is just toying….if you open the contact to see there will be class mate from which year & which school
Kim Hyun Joong: it probably from middle school’s class mates, in high school, I don’t have friends
DJ Jung: yes…this person said is school mate..that met a few times….if this is said it probably not a very acquainted school mate, most probably the ones you meet each other at the school corridors…here you will often see the situation of people having your acquaintance therefore you can relaxed…it is because you gave Kim Jin Ah a signed autograph CD, now everyone is in frenzy…on stage show to sing then in addition participate in television show, although it has been ask many a times..during variety show, radio show, television drama & live event..what do you feel it the most at ease when you are at these activities
Kim Hyun Joong: This questions I have been asked a lot….when doing television drama is the hardest..the time goes quickly…late nights…the waiting…..but then when acting in a drama wish to be a singer…when singing as a singer…with this & that…wants to be act in a drama…there is no time to rest..when as a singer preparation is done at a long period of time for a short slot of 4 minutes performance that you has to bring out your attractiveness personality because it is a live show…therefore there is some excitement in that…in the drama…you film in a long period of time, there is a value of an hour…there is also some excitement in that…therefore as when I am a singer, I want everyone to feel Kim Hyun Joong..moreover in drama when I am acting a character & living as the character therefore it feels meaningful in that
DJ Jung: In the end, which do you find more likable…but as they were hardship when you enter the industry
Kim Hyun Joong:….yes…..it will be better if there is the end & don’t need to go through the process to get to the end
DJ Jung: especially the waiting period….what lighting…whit for camera…what position takes a long time
Kim Hyun Joong: yes..that is right…
DJ Jung: actually in the midst when at home, you quickly want to go out for holiday….in the end when you are there….you finds that you just want to return home
Kim Hyun Joong: yes that it correct…it is that kind of same feeling
Jung: For an example….when you want to go to Japan, you hurried there then when you are there, you want to return to Korea the soonest possible
Kim Hyun Joong: yes
DJ Jung:…4880…I have many laughable incidents…just tells us when you…what do you bring to you variety show….in the past Park Myeong Soo in his own broadcast bring a lot of funny matters from his guests…then just comment…4880…we will take to & account & considerations…if it any good…we will pass it on to Kim Hyun Joong
Kim Hyun Joong: yes…I understand
DJ Jung: Now…Kim Hyun Joong ssi now want to introduce this song…normally you like to hear…in the noreabang with friends that you frequently visit is there a song you will sing that whether or not you can introduce one to us
Kim Hyun Joong: I…like Senior Kim Hyun Woo….
DJ Jung: Ah!…Kim Hyun Woo…I just hear today his song “Lovers”
Kim Hyun Joong: Really…this song has been hear many a times…when he was in Toy…there is a song… “Gradually Beautiful”…this song when I go into the shower, I must listen to this song
DJ Jung: Then I will play this song for the listeners to hear…what will they come to mind..shower & all…looks like you really like the song….then we will listen to this song Toy’s ‘Gradually beautiful”
(Song is played)
DJ Jung: This is 2pm Date….This is DJ Jung…We are having a date with Kim Hyun Joong….”Gradually beautiful” is your most favourite song
Kim Hyun Joong: yes…it is my most favourite song….I think in my life…it is the my greatest song
DJ Jung: Greatest..yes…the lyrics to the song is really good…from lyrics to the singing is indeed great…Baek Hyo Seon…DJ Jung as a song writer…if you were to write a song for Kim Hyun Joong…what kind of style of song will you write for Kim Hyun Joong…firstly I must know what Kim Hyun Joong’s preference of style of music he favours before I can write the song for him….
Kim Hyun Joong: I will like Ballads
DJ Jung: Ballads?….
Kim Hyun Joong:…yes…please do offer your assistance…for the next album release
DJ Jung: of course…I am more than happy….I should thank you instead
Kim Hyun Joong: if you write me a ballad, it will be nice
DJ Jung:…just like along the tracks of “gradually beautiful”
Kim Hyun Joong: yes….like that song
DJ Jung: I should write “gradually beautiful part 2” needs to be done in order to make me become a Hallyu song writer…I want to go to Japan….XXX….today see you in the movie …it is nice to see Kim Hyun Joong appearing in movie will be nice…have you done a movie….do you have that intention..is there movie script given to you or casting done
Kim Hyun Joong: I have many movie scripts that is offered to me but I think that I will continue in television dramas, although movie command the same time of performance but because that it is on big screen therefore I still need to do drama to train & practice my performance…the portrayal of expression must be done well, when I have the self confidence within myself, I will go for the big screen
DJ Jung: That is true…there is no sense of urgency….just do it slowly…bit by bit….9989…don’t say about anything else..speak truthfully….now you don’t have a woman that you see it as the woman…wish to know what Flower Man preference in a woman….can this be said?….
Kim Hyun Joong: honestly I feel that myself, I don’t have repoire feelings for younger women
DJ Jung: laughs….if you say that…the comments site will be chaos….I can hears the Noonas screaming “Yah!!!” that kind of sound…wait a moment….why the Noonas like you so much..why is that….
Kim Hyun Joong: What I think….some women think that a lady group is like “After school”
DJ Jung: isn’t there already is…”after school”…then in the “After school” group member who do you like…just mentioned a 1 or 2 will do
Kim Hyun Joong: No it is just the whole grouping as it is
DJ Jung: The whole group…anyhow we can probably guess who is she….
Kim Hyun Joong: In regards to Dong Saengs group, I don’t have that kind of feeling…I have said & mentioned this before to my Dance Team’s Head “Why don’t I have such attraction for younger girls”…he said that when you reach 30 years old you will know
DJ Jung: This I can really understand….why is that…during your 20s…you will be more naïve that you were in High School…because of the close age proximity…they feel that it is just younger siblings then when you reach 26-27, your mindset will change but of course there are people who mindset don’t change at all
Kim Hyun Joong: I have never has a relationship with a girl that is younger to me
DJ Jung: Again there will be screams….the listener who are younger than Kim Hyun Joong ssi are screaming “No you can’t….don’t say this…if it this…I will not listen
Kim Hyun Joong: No…the Team Head tell me that when I come to 30 years old I will know
DJ Jung: When I was at Kim Hyun Joong ssi age, I was just like that
Kim Hyun Joong: is that so?
DJ Jung: yes…in the past…when I was at that age…girls that are 2-3 years younger…there are still young…didn’t I with a 23 year old Dong Saeng that has been together until now….I was also lke that…Yi Jin Yi ssi…..please Hyun Joong ssi appears in fitness challenge show like “Invincible Challenge”, it will be nice
Kim Hyun Joong:…yes….this kind of show please invite me….I really like fitness challenge
DJ Jung: You have fitness challenge activities
Kim Hyun Joong: yes…compare to the show that require me to speak, I like fitness challenge show better…I have seen “Invincible Challenge” before…I really wish to participant but then the schedule timing wasn’t appropriate…it was unsuccessful
DJ Jung: Your talking is fine to me
Kim Hyun Joong: yes…I really wanted to participant but the timing was….
DJ Jung:….why don’t we, when we end this program today,, I will sent a text message to PD Kim from “Invincible Challenge”…will say to him that Kim Hyun Joong ssi really wish to participate in that show….he has the confidence to win….you must invite him, can you do so?
Kim Hyun Joong: It is fine….
DJ Jung: Why did we turn to that topic…weren’t we saying about “after school”…9360…I went to the photo site…sees your tagline that “Life is just once”…don’t know whether now it has become somewhat….what is the reference to Kim Hyun Joong’s life is just this once
Kim Hyun Joong: it is not important what is in the future..when someone has the consciousness to do something that one’s wants to do to allow that when we die, we don’t have regrets. My saying that just this once is not just to indicate that it is one time only like striking a lotto, moreover it is a person lifetime is to do something that he love & to live its life to the fullest
DJ Jung:…to have a free lifestyle….in the past that I has taken interest on Kim Hyun Joong….I have watched Hyun Joong ssi & Hwangbo on “We Got Married”. I felt that Kim Hyun Joong ssi is not that type of “bad” man…not the type to treat a woman overly nice or warm
Kim Hyun Joong: yes,…that is right…I don’t…
DJ Jung: You will not do aegyeos…on give your girlfriend surprises events…those things like that, you will do that
Kim Hyun Joong: yes…I will not do…
DJ Jung: yes…that what is Kim Hyun Joong ssi attractiveness he have, as for a woman to say
Kim Hyun Joong: Actually I have done that aegyeos..but however….
DJ Jung: it is Kim Hyun Joong style of aegyeos
Kim Hyun Joong: yes…right…I will really to the person I love…just towards her only that I will do aegyeos DJ Jung: Then this is to say….you will not do to any girl such outgoing gesture
Kim Hyun Joong:…yes…don’t wish to make too many comments on that
DJ Jung:..you wouldn’t talk about it
Kim Hyun Joong: yes….
DJ Jung:….except for my woman…you will say this to any woman at all
Kim Hyun Joong: yes
DJ Jung:…for that woman, it must be really a great thing….towards that devoted Man…a great Man…Yi Soo Won ssi….you & SNSD Seo Hyun did a CF together…really envious…Seo Hyun has matured beautifully….
Kim Hyun Joong:..yes…right…she is really beautiful….
DJ Jung: Then at the times you were working together with Seo Hyun, both of you weren’t well acquainted with each other, you didn’t have any conversation together
Kim Hyun Joong:…yes…total was just 4 words… “Good effort”, ‘How are you”, “Have you eaten”…probably those
DJ Jung: Then when Seo Hyun asked you a question, your answer is just “Yes”…then ask you have you eaten… you will answer “yes”…isn’t it
Kim Hyun Joong: Yes….
DJ Jung: it is really a straightforward answer
Kim Hyun Joong: yes…straightforward
DJ Jung: I also think so….because Seo Hyun it seems was not well acquainted…if except to shoot CF, if you were to meet again, will you meet up
Kim Hyun Joong:…I will
DJ Jung: In the email there is a question…once the album is release…soon it will be Lee Seong Gi’s who also will release his album, it will be compare, what do you think…say after Lee Seong Gi…besides Lee Seong Gi, there will be many other releases albums from singers the likes like SNSD & follow by the rest..when you will doing the preparation, what were your thoughts
Kim Hyun Joong: Actually I didn’t give any thought to the matter…there are many things that one can’t able to comprehend
DJ Jung: Honestly speaking…just like Kim Hyun Joong has said…actually there is no need to think overly too much about the matter…it is not just one type of Fans there are many different types

Kim Hyun Joong: yes…I will go to his house
DJ Jung: Bae Yoon Jun’s house…if the opportunity comes by, please bring me there…I wish to see it…actually we want to hear one of Kim Hyun Joong’s song but because Kim Hyun Joong’s ring tone is “Lovers”…therefore we will like to give Kim Hyun Joong a ring on his hand phone…to hear that ring tone

Kim Hyun Joong:…hello…Bin Na…Kim Bin Na….hello?…
DJ Jung: This is 2pm date….today with Kim Hyun Joong ssi together…just now we played “Lovers”…Ms Kim Bin Na requested this song…it is because that this song is also Kim Hyun Joong ssi ring tone…therefore have ask Kim Hyun Joong when the song ended to pretend to answer the call..with Hello!…hello!…never would have thought Kim Hyun Joong will answer “hello, is it Bin Na?…I can guess that Bin Ba ssi already collapse in faint by now…fine…I heard after this, Kim Hyun Joong has a “sign” meet
