On April 26, Kim Hyun Joong had a special interview with fans from Korea and Hong Kong through "Yahoo! Celeb Mission Interview." More than 24,000 fans from Korea and 26,000 from other Asian countries like Hong Kong and Taiwan signed up online to be one of the lucky five fan interviewers.  

Comedian Cho Se Ho hosted the event and five fans from Korea and Hong Kong had an opportunity to freely ask questions to Kim Hyun Joong for about an hour. Kim Hyun Joon said, "I am happy to be the first interviewee of 'Yahoo! Mission Interview.' I would like to have more chances to communicate with my fans overseas through this event."  

During the interview, Kim Hyun Joon was asked "If you get a chance to take the time machine and visit a different era, when would that be?" by a fan from Hong Kong. He answered, "I want to check out Mayan or Incan civilization with my own eyes. I've always been really interested in them. Also, I'm a big fan of conspiracy theories. It'd be really nice to go back to the time when JFK was assassinated and catch the assassin myself." 

The full interview of Kim Hyun Joong's "Yahoo! Celeb Mission Interview" will be revealed online through "Yahoo! Celeb" in early May. This interview will also be featured on other Asian countries' Yahoo! websites, too. Also in May, Kim Hyun Joong will hold "Kim Hyun Joon Fan Meeting Tour 2012" in several Asian countries. Currently, he is looking at several scripts and scenarios for his next on-screen project.

What's the biggest difference between Hallyu star Kim Hyun Joong and normal guy Kim Hyun Joong?
I feel that Hallyu star Kim Hyun Joong and normal guy Kim Hyun Joong is very different. Hallyu star Kim Hyun Joong tries to show his perfect side to the fans, whereas the normal Kim Hyun Joong leads a normal life just like the others. I spend my time reading cartoons and playing soccer.

I want to be able to do well in both music and acting, and not just focus on one particular area. This year, I plan to have album activities and acting.

Kim Hyun Joong is set to break the record by any performing artist in Singapore by offering the closest interaction with his audience during his mini-concert on May 4. Originally, only 500 lucky fans would be picked to high-five with him through a ballot. However, Kim Hyun Joong has personally requested to extend this to everyone in attendance, meaning a whopping 3000 fans will now get the opportunity to get up-close and personal with the star! This is an unprecedented gesture from a pop idol.

High-five sessions are normally private sessions that are open to only a small group of fans as part of the fan-meeting package. Fans would either pay a premium fee to enjoy the chance for interaction with their favorite artiste or pray that their lady luck shines on them brightly for them to be picked through a lucky draw. However, Kim Hyun Joong has taken this a step further by expressing his wish to high-five every single member of the audience.

"This is a very special request we’ve received, which proves Kim Hyun Joong’s immense devotion to his fans. We are glad that fans in Singapore will get a very personal touch - pun intended - with Kim Hyun Joong; but we’re also excited that all members in the audience will be part of a record-breaking moment," says Wendy Ng, Executive Producer of Running Into The Sun.

On top of that, Kim Hyun Joong will also be giving away to everyone in the audience one set of the U:ZOOSIN T-shirt and brooch, a cartoon avatar created by Kim Hyun Joong himself. These will be specially made for his fan meeting tour. U:ZOOSIN has sold 50,000 units in Korea alone, boasting approximately USD1,900,000 in sales.

"Kim Hyun Joong 2012 Asia Fan Meeting in Singapore" will showcase more than 10 songs and interactive segments in a two-hour show. Premiere seats, which are seats closest to the stage, have completely sold out. However, fans may still purchase good seats from the Arena and Terrace categories through SISTIC. This fan-meeting will be held at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on May 4.
