Singer cum actor Kim HyungJun who appears in MBC weekend drama ‘Gold!Appear’, is very serious about his attitude about acting as well as the determination as an actor and on the other hand, he harbours the passion in his heart as a singer. Appearing in MBC ‘Golden Fishery – Radio Star’, shows his surprising comic attractiveness, his warm tears when talking about the death of his puppy, and surprisingly an innocent young guy who fell into sorrow when he saw fans feeling unwell. And he is a member of SS501, who promised that they will return again as a group.

- Your body definitely feels healthier than before.

“I exercise a lot. When I was skinny back then, I was 52kg. I’m now 70kg. I will lose about 5 or 6 kg when I release an album.”

- You seem to be well-liked by sunbae (senior) actors, are you usually good with elder people?

“Not good. I am more of the awkward type (with elders). Initially I only greeted them with a bow, but because I have a cheerful character, aegyo comes out but not really aegyo (*not aegyo that he does but something that others view as aegyo). Fortunately, sunbaenim likes it.”

- The song ‘Two of us’ that you released recently. It is duet with Sunny Hill’s Kota. Song is good. Why don’t you have promotional activities for it?

“I don’t have plans to do activities for ‘Two of us’ and actually it was first suggested by me to the company to commemorate my birthday. I (said) will work on it and let’s do it together. It came out a little late due to some circumstances, it has been a long time since I had my name on music so I wanted to do it and the music video was filmed beautifully.”

- Don’t you want to go on music program broadcast?

“I want to. These days there are so many groups coming out. It isn’t like this during our times. There is only DongBangShinGi hyungs and us two groups, so we’re loving towards each other. Looking at the recent groups, I will think ‘It must be fun’, ‘We could get closer if we use the same waiting room’. With good opportunities and good music, I want to gain recognition again.”

- Is there any plans to have activities as SS501 together?

“We talked about it with each other. We also talked about it openly during interviews that we had individually. It is nothing difficult. However there were several overlaps as a man (*probably referring to enlisting to army) when the opportunity came so we said we will do it when everyone is back. Members also meet up often. Met up and talked, and often call each other up. We temporarily stopped our activities, we never said we are disbanded. Whether people believe it or not, everything will come to light when we show you next time. Standing on the stage, having concert. Our role model Shinhwa hyungs are still here (*active, not disbanded too), that is always our target to be like them. We will do it someday, without missing any of our members. When I watch variety programs, I would think that we will be able to do it funnily.”

- Heard you’re a soccer manic, and a team captain?

“I’m the team captain for FC Avengers. I play the striker in the team. Actually, shouldn’t better players be defender or winger? Striker can be (someone) not as good. Striker seems easy but it is not, in an amateur team, the ambiguous ability should be used as the striker (laughs). Even so, I can score goals. I score 1 goal per match. A lot of fans come for the soccer match too. Seeing that fans coming rain or shine, regardless of weather conditions, I will definitely not take it for granted and be thankful to them. I thought about if I would do such a thing for someone whom I like. Thank you. For I have a place where I can be near to fans.”

- Heard that an elderly went to your birthday party cum fan meeting recently.

“She came from Japan. She wasn’t my fan initially, she came to one of my event with someone else and since then, she likes me and always comes with her walking stick. I didn’t know that she would come all the way to Korea. I am really thankful. It felt like seeing my grandmother or a family member. I wanted to do everything for her. Thinking about how difficult it must have been for her to decide to come here and how hard it is to endure the hot weather, I felt so grateful. I will be good to you for the rest of my live.”

- Is there any other fans you remember?

“There are several fans, I will get such thoughts especially when I see fans feeling unwell. Thoughts like ‘I must put in my best. I cannot break down.’ They were not feeling well and if I don’t do well, how disappointed would they get, and I worry about their health too.”



- How are your puppies?

“One of them died recently. I cried a lot. I fell into panic for one week. I can’t even work. Looking at people who raise dogs for companionship, I thought how sad would that be, I was very sad. My tears will roll when I see his photos. I went out for a drink and I cried for about an hour in front of my friend. It was my first time feeling that someone has left me.”

- You’ve requested for a song from JYP openly in ‘Radio Star’ last time.

“I contacted him few times recently, but I can’t bear to ask for a song, so I didn’t. Hyung said he saw that broadcast. ‘Really thank you’ he said. But there still isn’t any news of the song yet. I must get the song from him by this year (laughs).”

- You were really funny in ‘Radio Star’ where you appeared in.

“I didn’t know who will be appearing as guests, I also didn’t know it was a ‘ingenuous special’ episode. I think that broadcast will stay with me for the rest of my life. Now I want to appear again in ‘Radio Star’ in a ‘Gold!Appear’ Special, with the young actors/actresses in the drama!”

- It has been over 4 years as a DJ for SBS Power FM ‘Kim HyungJun’s Music High’. What is the attraction of radio?

“I like about talking about myself. Also (what I like is) people’s responses and people listening to me. Also while giving advices, I will also listen to someone else’s story. A place for communication is really precious. When I am not having other activities, I don’t have a need to meet anyone else, I can’t meet them even if I want to, I can’t talk to them even if I want to, but the advantage of radio is that I am able to share various stories.”

- It has been 8 years since you debut in 2005. When is the moment that you’re happiest?

“There are really a lot of times, but I am happiest now. I feel really great about the fact that I am doing something that I am able to do. There are a lot of people who can’t do what they wanted to, there are also many who intended to do but because of some circumstances, they can’t. Thus I am thankful that I have such an opportunity and I am thankful to myself now. And I also feel happy right now at this moment having this interview”

Acting as MongKyu, a kangaroo (*always staying in the shelter of mother) family’s childish son, in the popular MBC weekend drama “Gold! Appear”, Kim HyungJun is a singer cum actor who came from a 5-member male group SS501 consisting of Kim HyunJoong, Heo YoungSaeng, Kim KyuJong and Park JungMin. However, these days when Kim HyungJun goes to restaurants to eat, he will hear this. “Omo, aren’t you the rebellious kid? The good-for-nothing! Please listen to your mother.”

Owing to the success of the drama, the people who recognises Kim HyungJun has diversified a lot as compared to when he was having his group activities. “Even a lot of young kids know me these days, and especially old people begin to like me more. I don’t know how to react to it” he said with a shy smile.

Through musical “café-in”, drama “Glowing She” and “I Love You”, Kim HyungJun displayed his capability as an actor, “Gold!Appear” is a challenge in acting on national TV for him. Even though there are times where he felt nervous in the filming set, or being pointed out for his mistake, Kim HyungJun said “It seems like there isn’t much I do to contribute, but to be part of a successful drama, I felt good and gained a lot of confidence.” Something to smile about is how fortunate to be taught by great senior actors.

When acting with actor Lee SoonJae in “I Love You”, “I was scared since rehearsal stage. Especially I knew that Lee SoonJae sunsaengnim (teacher) is never late, looking at him coming early and comprehend the role, I get goosebumps. I felt like ‘Indeed, sunsaengnims are different. I must continue to learn in my whole life.’” Now for actress Ban HyoJung and Kim JiYoung who acts as Jung MongKyu’s two grandmothers in “Gold!Appear”, he said “Both of them really helped me a lot and they treated me like a grandson. When the camera is off, even during rest time they will come to me and teach me things about acting.”

He is close with actor Park SeoJun who acts as the husband of his younger sister Jung MongHyun (Baek JinHee) in the drama. Even their squabbling in the drama seems more like openly joking with same-age friends rather than acting.“Don’t we have ‘chemi’ (internet slang usually used to describe how suitable a guy and girl are)? I thought I won’t get along well with (Park) SeoJun initially. Because both of us are bright/cheerful. He is like me. He is cheerful and lively like me, I don’t know why but I felt that I will be dejected if both of us are put together. However these days, we keep in contact and there are times that we go out for drinks too.” He laughed.



Kim YeWon who leaves a strong impression in movie “Sunny”, appears in “Gold!Appear” as Kim HyungJun’s counterpart. Before Kim YeWon appear in the drama, Kim HyungJun said “I am lonely” in the drama press conference because there was no love line for him.

Kim HyungJun said “I made guesses who will be the one, to be frank, I was surprised when I first heard it was (Kim) YeWon. She’s someone who did many movies before and I am nervous because I don’t know her. I also imagine her as the image in “Sunny”. But after meeting her, I find her really kind. And surprisingly, she is quiet at times too. She is matured even though we are of the same age. She’s kind by nature. I think because she has lots of acting experience so she is able to lead me in acting. Indeed, she is good in acting, steady and comfortable to be with.” Asked if there are too little scenes of them showing their love and affection, he replied “It’s a pity. I wanted to hug, and get married, then make more stories thereafter, but the drama ended, so it’s really a pity.”

When asked to rate his own acting skill, he said “I’m still lacking”. Having activities as a singer first, he would have a different feeling even standing in front of the same camera, “Acting is something long and difficult. As a singer, going on stage for 3 minutes seems like 30 minutes, we would spent 3 hours together for the 3 minutes, once it started, there is no stopping. But acting is to pace out in 50 episodes and show a little each time, so there are times where I felt frustrated. I want to show everything at once but it is difficult to express something too long. On the other hand, I learn to think more and become more focused.” Kim HyungJun said which expresses that he is still trying to find his sense of identity in acting and is working towards it.

Kim Hyung Jun gave hope to patient fans by sharing plans for a potential SS501 reunion.

Kim Hyung Jun opened up about the special bond he has with his fellow members of SS501 and chances for a reunion in an interview. He shared, "We talk to each other. We are open about it during interviews as well. It's not difficult. But as men, time is of the essence so there are overlaps here and there. We tell each other that once we all return, we will do it all together. I meet with my members often. We meet each other more than enough and talk on the phone frequently."

"We're on a tentative hiatus but we never said that we disbanded. Whether people believe it or not, we can show them later. We want to perform on stage and hold a concert. Since our role models are Shinhwa, our goal is to last forever like them. We will reunite without any member missing. When I watch variety shows, I think to myself that we can be funny together like them."

Let's hope this reunion happens soon!

[Trans] Kim Hyung Jun Special Interview! The first drama "Sunshine Girl" be broadcasted on DATV! 2013.7.27

Source:   http://k-fan.me/news/detail.php?article_id=7055



"Sunshine Girl" (first starring drama of Kim Hyung Jun who is youngest member of popular group SS501) will be broadcast on DATV from August 21. It is a drama that we could know new charm of Kim Hyung Jun. He did 8kg weight loss for this drama, "egocentric character" has become a hot topic. Before the start of broadcasting in DATV, the special interview, "magnae" Kim Hyung Jun! I had talked about this drama!!



This is your first starring drama. How was this? 

KHJ: It was my debut, also the first starring drama to me. I wondered. Also I felt good. I have wanted acting since before. I wished acting in parallel to singer activity from before singer debut. So it was my "dream". But when I actually carried out, my avarice became more. I would like to become more well.



Kang Min is a character who is very individualistic and selfish idol. Actually is there similar point with Mr. Hyung Jun? Also different point all?

KHJ: I think it is not similar that Kan Min is arrogant... My character is not cheeky. (laugh) If it says in similar points, the portion that I have a strong preference for work etc? I don’t say “. I do not want to do only this!” But I am a type that I cannot give up about something I want to complete, I want, I must do. These are similar points with Kan Min. Also it is the point that I do straight without being shy to a favorite girl?



What is having tried hard in order to play Kang Min completely?

KHJ: I was careful about wording. Also I referred to that similar character that other actors performed. "The Greatest Love" Mr. Cha Seung-Won, the old movie "Our Sunny Days" Mr. Cha Seung-Won and Mr. Lee Jeong-jae starred. I referred to these.



Please tell me about the most favorite scene and words.

KHJ: "I am a superstar Kan Min" These words remained in my memory truly! It is interesting. And a kiss scene with this heroine Ji Hyun. It was filmed in the town in Cheongdam-dong. Also near a famous entertainments office. So close! We were going to kiss with shifting lips at first. But Miss So Yi Hyun (the role Ji Hyun)taught me, "We will do perfectly! Kiss is such" (laugh) The scene fighting on the roof and the scene competing with Yong Woo in a parking are impressive. Somehow, the scene which quarrels remains in my memory.


The heroine Ji Hyun resigns from a company and becomes the broadcast writer who was a dream. Mr. Hyung Jun. Is there the work that you want to do with except for an entertainer? And what was your dream when you were child?

KHJ: President! My blood type is Type O. I heard Type O has leadership. I feel myself becoming such stronger and stronger in the middle of 20 age generation. After this drama,I feel myself became further so. It is often said. "affected by the role of a drama." I had not believed but.
Therefore, I would like to do work which leads and takes other people.
Although the President may be exaggerated, I would like to become a social leader.
I'm the head of a soccer team now. I made. As for me, moving under someone's like Chess pieces is disagreeable. If it is so, I thought that it is better receiving myself to a leader. I had changed to such before I knew it. When I was a child, I was completely different. The elder sister and the maternal grandma often took care of me. I was a child who likes taking it easy peacefully. So I might have changed possibly by actor debut.



Ji Hyun who is a stylish career woman, Kkot Nim who is feminine and lovely appear in this drama. Which is your type?

KHJ: I like Ji Hyun type. She is cheerful, active, does the best for her work, and says something to want to say. I like such points. A talkative woman is not my type. So I think it is good not talkative little like Kkot Nim. But those who hide real intention in a breast are disagreeable. Those who can say something to want to say. Those who can say what have to say. Such woman is good.


Do you think what kind of woman is "Sunshine Girl" for Mr. Hyung Jun?

KHJ: Although a concrete person does not come to mind... Those who wear bright dress first of all? I may have not thought until now. I wish I had such woman who comes to mind!



Kang Min and Young Woo are a rival. Mr. Hyung Jun. Do you blaze more when there is the rival in work or love?

KHJ: In love, a rival is unnecessary. First, a woman who comes and goes between two or more men, is disagreeable! I don’t want to also carry out such love. However, I can do my best when I have a rival in work or sport. I can think I must do my best more.


Please tell me the role or genre you want to play in the future.

KHJ: After returns from an army some day, when age is piled up, I want to play a love drama which is not a love comedy. If it is my age now, I think that a love comedy is good. However, I have already experienced. It faces each other earnestly, fights and sheds tears... I want to play the tale of full-scale love. And I want to play in a movie. It is a target to buy a ticket in a movie theater and to go to see myself. Also I want to play an action drama like "IRIS". Directors say, "such a tale suits you". (romantic comedy etc) Whenever they say so, my unyielding character appears. So I think I want to challenge action etc. I want to play a role that my surrounding person says "It does not suit you", than it always appears in the work of the same genre.


If you come to Japan, are there certainly doing, a thing to eat, a place which goes etc?


KHJ: I eat ramen noodles. Arrives in Japan, I eat immediately after performing formalities for entry. Ramen! The first meal certainly. And Roppongi. There are many people and it is interesting. I think that it is like Itaewon of Korea. It is pleasant to carry out people-watching.




Please give a message to the televiewer of DATV. 


KHJ: Please give a message towards the televiewer of DATV. I think that it is a good opportunity to be able to see this work in Japan again. I am glad if you will see the first step as my actor, and my new start. I am glad if I can see you with various works in the future. I do my best in actor activity and singer activity. So please support me.
