Lucky Guy Hyun Joong ^^

Gosh, didn't expect Hyun Joong to be back with his 2nd solo album so soon - October 11, 2011 to be exact!  Here's news of his album just released today.  Looks like we'll only see him promoting this 2nd album on music shows for 2 weeks only cause he's off to Japan for his concert tour.  I can't wait to see more of him and hear his voice again.  From the track list, seems this is a pretty happy and upbeat album.

Ab501utely Hyun Joong ^^

Hyun Joong was invited to perform in Shen Zhen, China at the "Perfect Concert" involving many HK and Chinese stars, but Leader was the only Korean Hallyu star on stage.  Deservedly he was the closing act and he gave a perfect stage with his dancers, Artmatic!!!  Really hated the constant yakking and screaming from the fans, but the video footage by MurderQ is awesome as always.  Thanks for uploadin on Vimeo.  Today, Hyun Joong is safely back home in Seoul.  Can't wait for his 2nd solo album ^^

Artmatic Talks about Hyun Joong ^^

I really love this interview by DATV, Japan.  Thanks for spending time to interview Hyun Joong's dancers, Artmatic.  It's not often that media will pay any attention to dancers, so it's really lovely to see them do this interview. I'm sure the dancers appreciate the spotlight.   We are equally thrilled to hear what the dancers think of leader and get a peek into what goes on inside their world.  Thanks so much for the upload on YT and sharing ... Enjoy!

Hyun Joong Sings about Love ^^

I've been waiting for this since I heard the audio recording of Hyun Joong performing "Love" on KBS Joy ~ Lee Sora 2nd Proposal.  Even though I love his dance performance and upbeat songs, but personally I feel he showcases his voice best when he sings acoustic songs like this. Enjoy this beautiful performance from wuri 4D Leader:

Fancam from Perfect!  Wonderful capture of Hyun Joong!

LIVE 다행이다 ~ 김현중

I feel so fortunate and thankful to Hyun Joong for giving us this LIVE performance on MNet's Joon Du Yeon's MUST broadcast yesterday.  Even though Hyun Joong was a little under the weather (flu), he sang Lee Juk's 다행이다 "Fortunate" with so much feel that I got emotional watching him.  I simply adore when he sings with his husky voice without loud music.  His voice is best enjoyed acoustically with simple piano/guitar arrangement.  Thank you Hyun Joong ^^ and please rest & get well soon ....

And here is the original MV by Lee Juk with english subtitle of the lyrics so we can appreciate how beautiful this song is.

More Fresh Kisses from the 4D One

Argh..... I love this performance of Kiss Kiss on MuCore today from Hyun Joong!!! The stage and vibrancy of the colors all add to the summer sweetness.  His hair also looks much more naturally styled today.  The start of the performance when Hyun Joong and Artmatic appears is like magic, manga style!!  Thanks to the mucore camera ahjussi for the awesome closeup shots of Hyun Joong with his megawatt smiles. This feels more like a music video to me and should be viewed over and over and over again!!!

Fresh Kisses from Hyun Joong on MCD ^^

Oh I got a shock when I first saw Leader's new hair color and style earlier this evening during the live streaming.  Now that I've watched the HD version which is much clearer, think I'm liking his new look though I still prefer my 4D prince with dark hair ^^.. I love the simple white shirt & jeans outfit for Kiss Kiss here. Hyun Joong really love performing this song, look at the megawatt smile he keep flashing at the camera hehehehe.. ab501utely adore Kiss Kiss and his chereography!!!

Heartfelt Words from Hyun Joong - Break Down Showcase Excerpt

Here are heart felt words from Hyun Joong.  As always, he bottled things up inside him and will only speak when the time is right.  After a difficult 1 year and 2 months, leaving DSP to join KeyEast, watching the shennigans that goes on in SS501 fandom silently with heart break, Hyun Joong finally spoke out.  I do hope fans across all countries will sit up and listen to these words from Leader.  He meant it with all his heart, do not spread anymore harmful rumours, do not fight, just be happy for all the members of SS501 or their individual solo activities and successes.  They need us now to be united and support them even more now that they are flying solo. We have to be patient and wait for a magnificient SS501 - five as one to come back on stage.  Please don't hurt any of them anymore by creating unfounded rumours and fighting amongst fanclubs. 

Kim Hyun Joong has returned as a solo artist and gave a word of thanks to his fans with tears pouring from his eyes.
On June 7th, after his mini-album “Break Down” release showcase was over, he read a letter that he wrote from his heart to his fans.

He pulled out a letter and stated, “I’ve always been able to show my outer-self on stage, but I’ve never been able to show my heart to them. But I’ve finally gained enough courage to write this letter to share my feelings with my fans”.
Kim Hyun Joong read, “It’s already been 6 years since I’ve met every one. I thank you for believing in me and cheering for me all this time and never changing,” and he confessed, “I started looking back while I was working on the album. I realized how important the meaning of ‘together’ is”.
He continued, “I started feeling pressure and fear as I was trying to do this alone. It was hard to defeat this… I looked back over the past year, fans fighting and misunderstandings, only being able to watch over the situation made me think to myself, ‘I guess I have limits, too,” as his eyes started tearing.

He ended by saying, “I worked hard on the album by imagining how happy the fans would be looking at it. I hope that you will all be smiling and be even happier in the future” and added, “This album is not mine, but belongs to everyone. I’m very thankful to everyone that showed up here, and I want to tell everyone with my heart that I love you”.
Earlier on this day, Kim Hyun Joong performed his first solo title song “Break Down” at a showcase in front of 4,000 people.
