[FanAccount] Kim Hyun Joong 2012 Fanmeet in Singapore by Wonderrrgirl

Credit: http://wonderrrgirl.wordpress.com

It’s been days since the fan meet and everyone has been uploading all their photos and fan cams, and sharing them around. If you’ve been there, or have been watching them, I’m sure you know just how good the fan meet has been by now.

To be honest, I am actually surprised at how much this fan meet has affected me. And to be really honest, I have watched so many times of Hyun Joong performing that it no longer has any effect on me anymore. I was expecting that this fan meet will be exactly the same as before, but man, Hyun Joong truly impressed me on that day from the start until the end. I didn’t expect the kind of thrill I felt to watch such a great show – Hyun Joong has truly pushed himself beyond what he has ever done for this fan meet.

Previously, we’ve always been just happy with just seeing Hyun Joong. Hyun Joong is always being labeled as this pretty boy hallyu star whose appearance is “more than enough” to send the fans into a frenzy. This fan meet kind of changed that sort of impression I always had in me. It showed me how the staff as well as Hyun Joong himself haven’t taken the fans for granted. True enough, we will always love Hyun Joong and give him all our support, but even so, Hyun Joong wants to work hard to earn this support, and he really did it on the 4th when he gave such an incredible performance. To this, I wish to say thank you, for all the hard work and effort, to both Kim Hyun Joong and the staff.

I’ve been reading praises for Hyun Joong’s vocals, performance on stage, how funny and cute he was that night, Hyun Joong’s English skills and how good the preparation were (the I-am-dating-a-bear video, the lucky guy comic strip, the games with the fans) that night.

But when you really look at it, it just comes down one thing – the very thing that I mentioned not too long ago in fact.  It is sincerity, more than anything else, that made everything fit so perfectly that night. It was a GREAT show because Hyun Joong has been able to do what a REALLY GOOD performance is about: reaching out to and touching the hearts of every single person in the audience. This is more important than good vocals, talent and/or a fanciful performance. He has done exactly what I hope he would be able to do – in order to make reporters drop their jaws and realised that they need to stop their pen before judging the guy’s good looks too quickly. Well, not sure if they did. It’s hard to admit that one is wrong, after all :)

But this is not about the reporters, it’s about the fans. Is it too hard to tell already by now, what Hyun Joong has been trying so hard to say? This is a guy who doesn’t make empty promises with words; he doesn’t tell you that he loves the fans at every opportunity. He shows it with actions, with effort and hard work made just to make a day perfect for the fans. It would be hard indeed, for any fan NOT to feel the overwhelming gratitude and sincerity in every word he sang, every dance move he perfected, and every smile he gave.

To be honest, HJ is aware of the issues that the fan meet has before the concert. He knows it and as usual, carries all the weight and responsibility on his shoulders and said nothing. When mentioning it to his friends, he laughed it off and make a joke about it, as though it didn’t really affect him. Behind the forced shrug, his eyes probably betrayed the worry in his heart. When I knew, I was worried that prior to the fan meet that this guy will eventually break from all the pressure. Yet Hyun Joong has proven that he is more than a survivor; he doesn’t just merely “survive”. He made the best of what he had,  to give his best show to his fans. And I’m so amazed and proud of how he didn’t let anything else affect his mind and what his heart has set out to achieve.

Hyun Joong started off the fan meet with his signature dance songs – Let Me Go, Breakdown, that showed off the manly 남자다운 side of him. When he finished Breakdown, he moved a little to the left side (our side) and as usual, his eyes scanned the crowd. If you notice Hyun Joong’s eyes, he is never just looking blankly at the audience, or just staring at one space. Hyun Joong’s eyes is always curious, searching, and darting from left to right, as though he’s looking for something. He is looking to see who is here, and if there is a face he could recognize.

I didn’t know if it was my imagination (it could well be! ^^) but at that moment, his eyes focused on us, where the unnies are holding their heavy cameras. He paused for a split second, as his eyes shifted from each person to the next.  (I think one of the unnies caught that on her video camera, which I’m waiting for her to upload) This is one of the things I like about Hyun Joong – he is always observant, and didn’t just let the screams and cheers from the fans get in his head. Hyun Joong always want to remember the faces of his fans, even if there are too many and he couldn’t remember everyone, but he is always observant about who came. This means every fan should remember too… ^^ If you want him to remember you, make sure he remembers it in a good way, because he sure is observing what we are doing, during the performances, events, and at airports.

Just look at him, checking out other fans again. He can’t have been looking at the monitor to read the lyrics, because there was no monitor there at where I snapped this picture ^^

Hyun Joong then began his heartwarming ballads. For the song “HAPPINESS IS”, even the fans are included in the performance. We were supposed to sing the English lines with Hyun Joong “Happiness is (without you baby), I can’t even (imagine it)”. It was so funny and cute how Hyun Joong tried to teach us the lyrics in English, a language he is by no means proficient in. He struggled to get the fans to understand that we are supposed to sing the words (in brackets) and when we didn’t get it twice, he actually let out a sigh of frustration that is so adorable!

I am impressed at the amount of English he spoke that day. This is probably one of the things that touched me too, because even though I can understand his Korean, it is just different seeing how hard he tried to speak English. Language has an amazing ability to bridge a lot of gaps, and Hyun Joong clearly took advantage of this that day. He was initially self-conscious about his pronunciation, going “Hello, My name is *laughing* Kim Hyun Joong”. He was shy about saying this, and of course this made the fans scream. For some reason, the more embarrassed and awkward Hyun Joong is, the cuter he gets.

He grew more confident after successfully teaching the fans how to sing the two English lines in the lyrics for Happiness Is. Later during the game, he boldly used more English. Even though his pronunciation is strange, it just seemed so ‘right’ when he said it – nobody cared whether it was correct or not, because he was so adorable, and he tried so hard.

Another really good addition to the fan meet were the videos that we recorded. Honestly, when I heard there will be some videos, I expected something typical and boring – the kind they play during intermission just to give him some time to change his clothes. But the videos shown that day surpassed all my prior expectations! The video before Kiss Kiss where Hyun Joong showed how he would behave towards the *coughs* girl/bear that he loves – cooking for her (or it? ㅋㅋㅋ), writing letters, giving her (it) ring, and playing titanic with the fan (CUTE!!!). It wasn’t cheesy or boring. Hyun Joong interacted so well with that bear, I almost didn’t care it was just a white and huge soft toy.

But what really nails it is the comic strip that was shown before Lucky Guy. Hyun Joong and Artmatic were poor beggars who don’t even have a penny, but was lucky enough to fight with a cat – and won – a casino coin that gave him a chance to have a go at the jackpot machines. Hyun Joong’s acting and expressions were so good!! I am hereby convinced that Hyun Joong’s talent continues to be unseen because he always takes the roles that fits his appearance but not his personality. He’s always the handsome prince, the aloof popular boy in school, but all of that isn’t Hyun Joong. Hyun Joong is at his best in comedy, doing strange things, and saying out-of-the-world stuff that only a funny brain of his could ever think of!

What I am most delighted about is when he sang his last song – If you feel the same (OST). This song is my favorite song, and I wanted so much to hear it live. I always felt this song meant a lot, because of the lyrics as I’ve shared earlier. Having heard HJ talk about his experiences in love, and his depression over it, I sat there listening to him sing this song, knowing that it speaks so much about the pain he had in his heart all this while too. I could not share what HJ have said that night, but well, I have read some rumors who seemed to have gotten some of it right. In any case, it is HJ’s own private matter. All I can say is, this song is a story that he is all too familiar with. For a guy like Hyun Joong to find love is none too easy, and perhaps the only reality he could wish for is only in mind: to consider himself as being with the one he loves as long as they feel the same, because to be together physically is just too difficult.

“If you really feel the same
If you feel the same now
If you can feel my earnest longing

Even if you enter a completely different world
Even if you enter a world without me
We could feel the same”

We had encore afterwards, and that was really high and happy, jumping around, shouting, screaming, and just being relieved and glad (for HJ mostly) that finally he has managed to pull off a great show.

I love his charisma here, and it’s one of the rare moments when I actually hear him being “high” without sounding awkward. He’s really getting better and better at filling the stage with his presence. ^^ Check this out!!! Manly ROAR~

The fan meet ended and what came next is the event many fans feel much pain and heartache for Hyun Joong, because after such a tiring performance, he had to shake hands with every single fan in the stadium. He must have been exhausted, but even so, he held himself and gave his every energy until the very end.

What touched me also was how he thanked the Korean unnies – Ahlia, nomad, and the rest of the MEETKHJ girls when they went up. He said 수고하셨어요 to each of them, acknowledging not only the fact that they travelled all the way here, but also the hard work they’ve done each event to take photos of him. The security guards who forbade us to take photos is something he couldn’t do anything about, yet for each event, these fans still manage to produce some photos. It’s a lot of work, because they could have just enjoyed the show without doing anything.

What is amazing is how Hyun Joong acknowledged this hard work, saying thank you for the hard work. (수고하셨어요 meant something like “Thank you for the hard work” or “You’ve worked hard”. It’s different from just 감사합니다 which is merely thank you. We use 수고하다 when we want to acknowledge that a person has worked hard in something, and we are thankful.)

Of course, many fans worked hard that day and took so many photos and fan cams. Everyone has done really well. Hyun Joong couldn’t possibly know who are the ones who took photos and who worked really hard, but for those that he does recognize, he said thank you. I think we should even think of this as a thank you to every fan, who worked so hard with the photos and fan cams, a “thank you” that he couldn’t possibly say publicly since technically nobody should be taking any videos or photos. But nonetheless, it is a gratitude that I wish all fans to know….. Hyun Joong is more observant, caring and thoughtful than he appears to be.

We also realised something funny during the part when he threw the water at the fans. He seemed to have remembered that at our side, the girls are holding on to their cameras. He actually threw the water carefully on our side, as though he is afraid that if he threw it wildly, the water would damage the cameras. it’s damn funny, because when he moved to the other side, he threw it with his hardest might. The difference between how hard he threw the water on both sides made us laugh later on when we recount that, but all the same, thank you Hyun Joong for your consideration. ^^

All in all, it was a great fan meet, a amazing mini-concert and I thoroughly enjoyed myself hearing him sing. This is what a sincere performance is about. It’s not about looking good or being talented. It’s how the performer allows his feelings to be felt by every single person in the audience. It’s how the performer wants to touch his audience with his heart, and feel what he feels when he performs each song.

And I think…. we really felt it that day. :)

I had an amazing time, with the girls, with everyone. I am glad we could all watch this, and if you are still having doubts about HK and TW…… oh man, you really need to get over yourself and just GO already. After what i’ve seen in Singapore…. I am positive nobody is going to regret going. It’s worth my every penny, and I AM SO GLAD I HAVE HK AND TW TO LOOK FORWARD TO!

For every bead of sweat, we’ll make it worthwhile for you.

Edit: For those who are asking, my camera is really just an ordinary digital camera. I did not use a DSLR! My camera model is CANON POWERSHOT SX210 IS. ^^ I was really really near the stage, so my photos came out so clear despite me just using a normal digital camera.

And I think I also learnt a lot from Ahlia, when she droned on about having “THE EYE” when taking pictures. Whatever that is. But I think I did improve. HAHA! Thanks unnie! ^^

[Article] Kim Hyun Joong | The Path Less Traveled

for the past few years, singapore has become sort of a magnet for kpop and kdrama stars.

i can’t even recall when hallyu (read: korean wave) has become mainstream. yup, it’s no longer just a small group of fanatics and maniacs liking all things korean, now the korean influence is evident in almost all aspects of our lifestyle.

i’ve lost count of the korean stars gracing our shores. since quite a few years ago, organizers too have started jumping onto the bandwagon to bring korean artists here for fan events. in fact for the past couple of years, hardly a month goes by that we do not see a korean artist in town. some months, we even see a handful.

even the recent MEN’s FASHION WEEK 2012 saw korean stars like SE7EN and daniel henney headlining the events.

MFW

that said, not many kpop artists are able to sell out big-scale concerts here, unless they’re mega stars. i think so far, we’ve seen super junior and girls’ generation hold successful concerts that sold out. the rest, they mostly take the safer route of organizing showcases.

the difference between concert and showcase?

well, it’s mainly about the scale. concerts are usually held at singapore indoor stadium or sometimes at the max pavilion (where capacity is smaller and venue rental is cheaper. but hor, the cheaper rental also means poorer sound quality… sighs…)

showcases are typically held at smaller venues; we’re talking about capacity of usually between 800-1,200 fans for showcases. showcases usually feature some 6-8 songs or sometimes 10 if the artists or agencies are feeling generous, keke! showcases would usually include a Q&A segment and sometimes, they even throw in some games or interactive activities with lucky fans.

and… sometimes, in order to generate more money, the organizers may also sell ‘add-on items’, like pay an additional amount on top of the ticket price for an autograph, a handshake, and sometimes, even photo opportunities. recently, there’s also a new trend of selling passes to attend the press conference.

yea, these days, everything’s getting so ‘modular’, tsk tsk…


what about kdrama stars, you wonder…

since they can’t exactly sing a handful of songs, they usually have what we call fan meetings. these usually last an hour or an hour and a half. the korean artist would usually show up and have Q&A session and then play some games with the fans. there may be a song or two, but usually no song since actors and actresses can’t necessarily sing.

and oh, yea, the organizers sometimes also sell autograph passes, photograph passes or press conference passes… as for scale, fan meetings are usually about the same as showcases, yup, about 1000 heads or thereabouts,


now as you all know, KIM HYUN JOONG was recently in town.

the fan event was sold as a fan meeting. and it actually happened last friday evening at the concert-worthy singapore indoor stadium.

RunningIntoTheSun

fan or not, if i were to speak objectively, that was a very very very sincere showing.

here, check out the setlist:

1. Intro: Let Me Go
2. Break Down
3. Please
4. Thank You
5. Happiness Is
6. Kiss Kiss
7. I’m Your Man
8. Smile
9. Because I’m Stupid
=== Stage Activities ===
10. Marry You
11. Do You Like That
12. Lucky Guy (remix)
13. If You Are Like Me
=== Encore ===
14. One More Time
15. Lucky Guy


yup, practically 15 songs!

he called that a fan meeting?! that’s like a concert already!

yea, there were stage effects, dancers, specially prepared clips, etc etc etc. oh, he even let ‘money’ drop from the sky for us, keke! u:zoosin dollar notes!

RunningIntoTheSun

and yup, there were stage activities too where he played games with fans and stuff.

seriously, he needn’t have.

he could have made the same amount of money with a lot less effort, honestly.

i mean he could have easily sold out a fan meeting of, say, 1,200-1,500 capacity and during the event, just stroll in, smile, answer some questions, smile, play games, smile, take some pics or shake some hands, smile.

no need for even change of outfits, or dancers, or stage effects… and yup, that also means no need for endless hours of concert planning, choreography, dance practices and even training up his stamina for the concert.

to be honest, it ain’t even his style to do fan-friendly stuff like those that he did onstage last friday night. yea, i know lots of fans liked that, but i cringed at more than the things they were trying during the stage activities. kindda cheesy and contrived, if you ask me. and oh, don’t get me started on how awkward the language barrier was…

but sure, i totally can see his effort and his earnest wish to want to up the fan service.

lotsa heart there, HJ.

RunningIntoTheSun

on top of all that, it’s like he knows what fans want and he even threw in the high-five session.

it’s always difficult (especially for overseas) fans to get a chance to go up-close and personal with their fave korean stars, let alone having abit of skinship, keke! seems like he totally understands the heart of a fan! *squeals*

and we’re talking about high-fiving every single fan in the audience. the fan meet started slightly after 8pm and ended at almost 11pm. and i know that he was still onstage high-fiving and shaking fans’ hands after midnight. (hee, as expected, the high five session kindda turned into a handshaking session!)

there were some male fans whose turns were towards the end and they shared that his hand was already rather weak and near trembling by then. yea, i guess it was hard work. after the performance, he had to stand somemore and shake everyone’s hand and all the while, standing straight and smiling and saying ‘Thank You‘ to everyone.

RunningIntoTheSun

HJ arh, why did you choose to do it this way?

this is indeed the path less traveled.

most korean artists would have taken the more comfortable way out and just do a fan meeting. and i mean a ‘normal’ fan meeting where he doesn’t need to sing and dance and sweat it out. quite easily done in under two hours, no sweat.


but what did he give us last friday night?

this man gave us the most sincere of sincere fan meetings.

i saw in last friday’s fan meeting – HJ’s heart. it was pure and pure wanting to give his fans something spectacular. he’d chosen not to take the easy way out and had chosen to sweat it out instead of just smile it out.


RunningIntoTheSun

上个星期五晚上
我看到的是满满的诚意
我看到的是贤重的心意
那一夜 星光非常灿烂

and… some of you may know that i love love love MURDERERQ’s pics and fancams of HJ. seems like she was here too! check out her photos from last friday HERE!

and here’s a sampling from last friday night, courtesy of THEMURDERERQ’s YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

2012.05.04 | Kim Hyun Joong @ Fan Meeting – Singapore


if you’re a fan and you didn’t catch his performance, i think it’s a real pity. especially if you haven’t yet had a chance to see him perform live. lotsa fans would vouch that HJ is a lovely to look at on posters and stuff, but he’s even lovelier when in motion! (and hey, he even gave us the long-missed jjitjoong! how could you have missed that one, ya?)

so now, if you can afford the time and money, do go support him in hong kong and taiwan. yes, tickets are still available, so go go go.

if you’re a fan, yes, i’d go so far as to say you’re letting him down if you don’t go see him. if you don’t go show support for all that he’s done for you. this is the guy who had given you free showcases in seoul, and this is the guy who had given you a concert-worth of fan meeting when he could have just sat there and breezed through it with no sweat.


and now, i leave the media pictures from RUNNING INTO THE SUN (RITS), the organizer for HJ’s fan meeting in singapore.

do note to credit RITS if you use or repost their pics. no watermark doesn’t mean you can steal pics, k? it’s shameful how picture stealing has been happening in the fandom. 62 handshake 9

[FanAccount] Kim Hyun Joong Asia tour 2012 in Singapore

Credit: babyvfan.wordpress.com

So here is my fanaccount for hyun joong’s visit to singapore this time round. A lot of words i wanted to write here, but suddenly don’t know where to begin… The withdrawal syndrome is the worst i have experienced among all the times i have seen him. Maybe it’s because this is the only time i didnt really see him around much?
Anyways, i really really have to say that his vocals improved tremendously, im commenting on this not because im biased towards him, but if you were to compare, he has definitely been working on singing skills.
Generally, i believe that many of you out there could feel that he is much much happier this time round?? From what i see, he is really happy to embark on his solo FM tour, getting a real chance to interact with each and everyone of us. There were no boundaries set at his press conference on what to ask and what not to ask too. He smiled more and even wind down the window to wave to fans~ (previous trip, there were shades put up before the car windows, so cant even see him)

Day 1 (12/5/2)
His arrival day! since it’s a Wednesday and he is landing at noon, initially i was quite worried that fans wont be able to make it to the airport due to work and school. Was thinking all morning if i should skip my last lesson of the day to cab down to airport. However, i decided not to at the end, although the teacher was not here during that period, but it would be really bad for me to leave my group alone to discuss on PW. I was relieved to see that quite a crowd were gathered at the airport to welcome leader! ^^ Once my school ended, i changed into my home clothes and went down to his hotel. Thankfully, Karen unnie captured a good video earlier at the airport, i was able to watch her fancam before his press conference :) ))

During the press conference, KHJ was very relaxed, he was in a good mood, smiling, waving to the medias there. Many questions were asked by the mc to him regarding what he will be performing on Friday, until when hyun joong remarked that she should move on to other questions, and not keep on asking him about Friday. (personally, i felt that the MC lady should have done some homework before the press con… but the good thing about her was that she was very ‘on’) KHJ smiled and waved to the left side of the room, but i failed to take a shot because my camera was loading T-T, was so regretful on why didnt i bring my dslr there. Nevertheless, i captured his every movement with my eyes, lols, hopefully it’s still vivid in my brain! Hyun Joong said he choose to start his asia tour in Singapore as he likes Singapore a lot, and fans have received him with warm hearts each time he came. But he said this is his 3rd time here…(this is actually his 4th time) i guess he was misleaded by the mc, who asked him about ‘so, this is your 3rd time here, what do you….’. He talked about MBS, USS, the beach and stuffs he liked about Singapore. He also expressed that he will be walking the streets, so if fans saw him, dont be afraid to say hi~

After the press conference, hyun joong proceeded on with one-on-one interviews with mainstream medias. I was able to pass him a little present through unnie~ really hope he liked it, although im not a good at xxxxxxx. Dinner with unnies at bibigo~! As my brain was really ‘fried’ due to all the exams that week, and it was further electrocuted by Hyun Joong’s charisma at PC, i was very random+weird+outta my mind that night. So thanks to all of you who tolerated my acts on Wednesday! i love u all~~

Remembering i still have a biology test the next day, i went home straight after the dinner. Actually none of the bio stuffs diffused into my brain that night, because the ‘KHJ concertration’ is too high!! no space for other stuffs..

Day 2 – 12.5.3

It’s his rehersal day, a day that i did not see him at all or i should say did not even plan to see him. Lessons ended really late at around 9:30pm…so quite impossible to go hotel and whatsoever…
Studied my biology on the mrt train to school in the morning, hopefully i passes my paper.. fingers crossed, i believe the god of universe will ‘look over’ me all the time. ^^

Uploaded some of the press conference photos from 2nd May onto this blog, feel free to check here :

Day 3 – 12.5.4
A bit sorry that the surprise plan for KHJ was not carried out in the end.. due to many factors. But it’s okay, i was able to see many fans gave KHJ their full-hearted support at the fm that night.
OMG, i really really loved KHJ’s performances!!! dont you???? ‘He has the X-factor’ i remembered what my school teacher once told me. Yes, Hyun joong has that ‘X-FACTOR’ to make you fall in love with him the second u saw him. He could make you feel the happiness in the air~~ haha, ‘happiness without you baby~~~’ .
His english is not good, but that’s what made him sooooo cute!! His accent, and uncertainties when he spoke in English, keke, adorable!!

a fancam i took of him saying the lyrics in english during the fm :

Cute right!?? KHJ has changed/evolved…keke, i remember how he dislikes to act cute ever since ‘Thanks for Waking Me Up’. But on friday night, so many cute actions by KHJ!! Truly as what people said, a kid at heart? ^^
Oh ya, speaking of cute, just remembered that, KHJ changed his usual pose, to a sudden victory sign, then smiled shyly, looking at the ground at the end of the press conference!~!

KHJ heated up the stadium, lighted up the stage, captured hearts of 3000 fans on Friday night. He personally requested to have hi-5 session with all fans in the stadium. (originally, suppose to be only 500 lucky fans can get the chance.) He is always so caring and thoughtful for the fans, knowing that all of us want to have a close look at him. He kept smiling and saying ‘thank you’ over and over again to all fans that hi-5 with him. While waiting for my turn, i was actually admiring him, respecting his professionalism as an artiste, who kept his bright smile after the concert, throughout the whole hi5 session, not a single sign a tiredness shown. He kept to one posture and lasts to the very end, the whole process was about an hour and a half. Just looking at him handshaking thousands of times make me feel very sorry for him… It’s because of us who want to get close up with him, that’s what caused him to be even more tired after putting up a great show. As a fan, i felt really sorry and guilty for my own greed. I think many of you out there thought the same way, maybe???

After the whole fanmeet and hi5 ended. KHJ came out from the stadium, surprised to see him still able to smile brightly and waved last goodbyes to fans. (check my watch, it was almost midnight) After he got onto the car, as the car slowly drove pass the row of fans, he winded down the window and waved to fans once more~

I was told that he went to Todai for after party~~

———-

that’s the 3 days of KHJism. felt as it all was so unreal, just like living in a dream all along, and now it’s time to wake up.
Uri god of universe did not leave SG with the rest of his staffs, dancers on 5th, instead, he extended his stay, and really did walk around S’pore. MBS, USS, chili crab.. lols, heard that he paid 74 bucks just to play transformers (the ride) in uss. He wore the jacket and cap from USS on sunday when he left singapore.
As he left, i felt sad that all this is over. What a fun week anticipating his arrival, seeing him again in person, then knowing that he would be leaving again. A part of me just died inside :(

All in all, KHJ really brought joy to me (and others, i assume that all are happy after meeting khj?). Thanks to KHJ for letting me break away from my study and finally let me enjoy my life (outside school) again! It’s been months since i had so much fun, school is really taking away all my time…

I’m also very happy to meet up with friends again, also meeting new ones ^^ It’s always a pleasure to meet other fans of KHJ. In addition, i would like to thank LKHJ & BB unnie for the present :) Karen unnie for sparing me an extra battery~ Rebby for telling me that ‘great story!’, Samuel for keeping a look out for security guards during the concert!! you saved me a lot of times from gonna caught by security!! ^^

Most importantly, thank you KIM HYUN JOONG for coming to Singapore, giving the Hi-5 session, and your generosity of giving fans ur specially designed u:zoosin shirt and brooch. ^^

(p.s. If there are people i left out to thank, please be assured that i am always thankful to you from the bottom of my heart, might have not written it down, but you are always in the back of my mind ^^)

[Article] Kim Hyun Joong didn't even wipe his hand ONCE

K-pop star Kim Hyun Joong shook hands with and high-fived every one of the 3,000-strong crowd of mainly women who had gathered at his fan-meet at the Singapore Indoor Stadium last night.

No surprise then, that in the one hour and 15 minutes that it took for him to complete his unenviable feat, he was seen supporting himself with his other hand on the table.

At times, he was seen massaging his chest with his free hand, his face showing signs of weariness. Nevertheless, he continued to smile and greet every fan.

Before the gruelling session, Kim had performed for two hours, singing hits like Kiss Kiss and I'm Your Man, and playing games with the audience.

A fan was heard remarking, almost out of pity for Kim, that not once did he wipe his hand even when it was a given that he must have touched plenty of “disgusting, clammy palms”.
