[trans] Kim Hyun Joong's Interview at CHOA No. 8 issue
Q: What are the difference between KissKiss Korean and Japanese versions?
KHJ: The lyrics deliver the same message. The difference is a way of mixing. Japanese version is aimed easy and confortable for Japanese people. If I promote myself in Japan, I thought that it would be nice to add factors which they feel familiar with as a J-POP.
Q: The image and concept of the three album jackets gives different impression from those of Korean versions.
KHJ : I wanted to show three concepts, i.e., tender , sexy, and charisuma. However, it took a considerable time. Actually, there were nine sets (9 pieces of clothes ). It was a pity that I could not show you all of them. If only I could have disclosed those pictures on the net. Personally, I like the best, the sexy look dressed in red. Usually I don’t have a chance to put on something red.

Q: KissKiss is a story of an encounter with the woman of dream. Have you recently met a girl you felt a woman of your destiny?
KHJ: I feel I had. I had an opportunity to meet with the lady whom I had been having affection for a long time. I feel strange that it happened to me... It was a Korean girl (he said in Japanese)
Q: "Power of Smile" expresses a very strong determination while being tender. Any points you feel symphathy with this song?
KHJ : When I recorded this song, there occurred many disasters in Japan. While thinking of those fans in their sorrow, I sang this song for them. I thought that what I could deliver to them was my song. I know that a song cannot cheer them up completely, but I just wanted to do something to soothe their sadness.
Q: Any strange heppenings you have recently experienced?
KHJ:
My clothes disappeared one by one. Even with a monitoring camera,
we could not find who took them away. No one in the monitoring screen !
Not only clothes, but also wataches disappeared one by one.
Q: Any specific episode in Japan which you cannot forget?
KHJ: I could not read Japanese at all when I came to Japan for the first time. I misunderstood a medicine for athlete’s foot for tooth paste (laugh) I also took body lotion for a hair rinse. One of the medicines we got from the fans was the one for athlet’s foot which happened to be in the bathroom.That is why I guessed wrong. One of the members (SS501) continued to use that medicine for athlete's foot as tooth paste, having bleeding from the gum. I thought my gum was strong as it did not happen to me ^^

[trans] Kim Hyun Joong's Interview at Crazy for Asian Star Magazine
Q 1: What kind of music genre did you aim in the current album? (Lucky )
KHJ: Frankly speaking, it seems that nobody is interested in my songs in themselves. I focused on “ music to see performance “ rather than “ music to listen to “. However, what I would like to aim from now on is a sort of music which makes everyone cheerful. I know that nobody expects me a high-quality music pieces. That is why I wanted to create songs easy on the ear. I aimed songs which make people comfortable and cheerful by just listening to. Maybe I talked about this too honestly (laugh)

Q3: The 2nd mini-album, “Lucky “ includes a few pieces of ballad.

Q4: Compared with the previous mini-album, “Break Down”, how do you think of “Lucky” ?
KHJ: To be honest with you, “Lucky” is better than “Break Down”.
KHJ: To be honest with you, “Lucky” is better than “Break Down”.
Q5: You produced the 2nd mini-album
in four months after the release of “Break Down”. You seemed to have
really worked hard to produce your album with such a short interval.
KHJ: Exactly! I really worked non-stop. I have been working hard without taking any rest till now. The current reaction from people itself is amazing for me because I thought in a different way. I felt that I was too late to release an album. I wanted to meet with my fans through my music as soon as possible. This feeling was overwhelming in myself. I wanted to deliver good songs to them. Therefore, I will continue to produce a single album constantly to see my fans.

Q6: Do you mean that you would release your album frequently?
KHJ: True enough. Being a member of SS501, I released only one full-album. From my viewpoint, there is no point in differenciating a mini-album from a full-album. I will just count my album as the first, the second, and so on.

Q7: Could you explain about the title track of “Lucky” album?
KHJ: The basic sound of the title track consists of a rhythmical electric guitar and bass rock’n’roll band music. It’s a funky rock. As I was involved from the planning, concept, ideas, and overall production, I am very attached to this album.

Q8: What kind of music do you want to create?
KHJ: The music I am really interested in is a band music. Before I joined SS501, I loved rock’n’roll music. When I was a high-school student, I was playing (a guitar) in the rock band. I would like to learn more about music so that I will be able to be confident. For me, it is music that I can get along with till the end of my life.

Q9: Could you tell us more details about “band music” which you are interested in?
KHJ: The genre I am much interested in is “club music”, but I also think that “band music” is exciting as well. That is why I introduced a real drum sounds in my album. The real sound of the musical instruments increases the “loose feeling “ in music. The sound of guitar was used to aim to add “dry and rough “ touch in the music. I love such taste. In addition to that, I wanted to show that we could dance with a band music. The choreography accentuated the dancing as well.

Q10 Could you tell me about episodes during the recording, if any?
KHJ: Nothing special. I just enjoyed recording. You may easily recognize while listening to “Lucky Guy”, there’s a sound like the howling of a wolf just before the song goes to bridge (* the melodyline between the 1st lyrics and the 2nd lyrics ). Originally, I wanted to insert a female voice, but I could not find a preferable female sexy voice. Therefore, I did it by myself. Please check this while listening (laugh)

KHJ: I just want to create a good album. In the far distant future, on the occasion of my retirement as dance-music singer, I would like to invite my fans to the concert and show the best (unsurpassable ) live. I can stand here thanks to the warm support from all of my fans. I would like to convey my appreciation to the fans as much as possible.

[trans] Kim Hyun Joong's Q & A - "An An" No. 1794 Japanese Mag
PART 1
Kiss me sweetly, Kim Hyun Joong !
A really handsome guy I look twice in spite of myself.
A slendar and strongly built masculine body.
The more you know about him, the more you will get addicted to him.
An exclusive interview of such a perfect guy, Kim Hyun Joong !
Question 1 : What made you burst into laugh recently ?
A really handsome guy I look twice in spite of myself.
A slendar and strongly built masculine body.
The more you know about him, the more you will get addicted to him.
An exclusive interview of such a perfect guy, Kim Hyun Joong !
Question 1 : What made you burst into laugh recently ?
Recently I saw “옹달샘 (a variety program) “. Though I don’t usually see TV,
I happened to tune in, seeing Yu Se-Yun ssi (유세윤, a Korean comedian ) mimic many animals ! It was so funny that I burst into laugh though though I rarely did it.
Question 2: What made you cry most recely?
I rarely cry, even though I see a sad-story movie. It’s a shame for me if friends recognize me to cry. Oh I don’t go to cinema alone, always with someone.
However, I cried once on June 7, the last year on the occasion of the showcase in Seoul which was the first event for me as a solo artist. I shead tears without knowing by myself. Though my eyes were full with tears, but I did not cry.
Question 3: For what you felt angry most ?
I don’t remember . I didn’t get angry recently. I don’t have a feeling of angry in myself. Therefor, I cannot remember when and for what I got upset last time.
I think that people get angry when they know they cannot be self-assertive. Anger does change nothing. I think that it is much wiser to try best in problem –solving.
Question 4: If you were not an artist, what had you been doing?
I happened to tune in, seeing Yu Se-Yun ssi (유세윤, a Korean comedian ) mimic many animals ! It was so funny that I burst into laugh though though I rarely did it.

I think that people get angry when they know they cannot be self-assertive. Anger does change nothing. I think that it is much wiser to try best in problem –solving.
Question 4: If you were not an artist, what had you been doing?
I
should have been doing something related to music. I cannot live
without music. There are many people working in music-related business
even though they are not an entertainer. Music naturally exists around
people. I think that even a mobile ringtone is a sort of music ……… but I
always keep my mobile in a silent mode (laugh). I feel embarrassed if
someone recognizes the ringtone of my mobile.
Question 5: You are a member of FC MEN, an artists football team. Which is the best position for you?
Question 5: You are a member of FC MEN, an artists football team. Which is the best position for you?
The
positions are not fixed actually. If I am in good shape, I attack in a
forward position, but if not, I go back and defend. But I feel confident
being FW as I can kick both-handed. I can kick a shoot both-handed;
that’s my strength.
PART 2
Love is sweet and dramatic!
KHJ: I did not have even a day-off the last year. I was so busy that I could not remember how I spend my time. Among that tight schedule, the Japan tour I had in November, the last year was an precious memory for me. I was so happy to see how long Japanese fans had been waiting for me that I unintentionally talked the things which should not be disclosed (* about his new drama ) . I also threw away a unfinished plastic bottle of mineral water to the audience (laugh) . It may be something special of my concert. So, I will continue this kind of things, perhaps.
I also enjoyed eating many specialities of the local area in Japan. I love class B Gurume ( delicious but inexpensive dishes), such as pork bone broth ramen, chiken wing tip, Okonomiyaki ( a savoury pancake with many ingredients, a speciality dish in Hiroshima pref. ) and so on.
Debut single, Kiss Kiss, a sweet dancing song,
KHJ: I had no problem in singing this song in Japanese. The pronounciation of “ tsu “ (usually hard for Koreans to properly pronounce) was also fine with me. It was rather hard for me to struggle to keep awake as the recording of Japanese album took place midnight. There is a saying in Korea that if a singer listens to a ghost’s voice, his/her album will make a big success, but unfortunately I could not listen to it. I had a hard time to keep my eyes open^^ However, with so many fans’ support, I believe that my album will be a big hit.
The most favorite part of Kiss Kiss ?
The most favorite part is the hook of this song, “ Kiss Kiss, Sweet “ While blewing a kiss, he dances by rocking his body from side to side. He sings this phrases with such a cute choreography.
KHJ: On the stage, looking at the eyes of the audience, I sing this song with my love to them, as if I would kiss to them. I really wanted to put the word “sweet” (amai in Japanese) in this phrase, because “ love “ is sweet and dramatic, right?
How do you imagine a dramatic love ?
KHJ: Let me see ………. Based on my experience, it seems the first love because it is a long-lasting memory for everyone, and a precious memory for myself as well. “ A dramatic love” in imagination …. it may be coming across with the ex-girlfriend ? If I happen to see her in such a situation, I may feel a strange emotion.
The objective of this year in Japan ?
You mainly focus on music activities this year. Your objective is Arena Tour in Japan ?
KHJ: I am happy about being No. 1 in the music chart, but I strongly hope to have concerts in many cities as there are chances to see many people. When I realize this, Arena tour, I will show you a great performance. You can expect much. If I could hope for more, I would like to challenge for a drama or a movie in Japan because I think that there are interesting themes in Japanese drama/moivies. I should work harder in Japanese for that.
KHJ: I did not have even a day-off the last year. I was so busy that I could not remember how I spend my time. Among that tight schedule, the Japan tour I had in November, the last year was an precious memory for me. I was so happy to see how long Japanese fans had been waiting for me that I unintentionally talked the things which should not be disclosed (* about his new drama ) . I also threw away a unfinished plastic bottle of mineral water to the audience (laugh) . It may be something special of my concert. So, I will continue this kind of things, perhaps.
I also enjoyed eating many specialities of the local area in Japan. I love class B Gurume ( delicious but inexpensive dishes), such as pork bone broth ramen, chiken wing tip, Okonomiyaki ( a savoury pancake with many ingredients, a speciality dish in Hiroshima pref. ) and so on.
Debut single, Kiss Kiss, a sweet dancing song,
KHJ: I had no problem in singing this song in Japanese. The pronounciation of “ tsu “ (usually hard for Koreans to properly pronounce) was also fine with me. It was rather hard for me to struggle to keep awake as the recording of Japanese album took place midnight. There is a saying in Korea that if a singer listens to a ghost’s voice, his/her album will make a big success, but unfortunately I could not listen to it. I had a hard time to keep my eyes open^^ However, with so many fans’ support, I believe that my album will be a big hit.
The most favorite part of Kiss Kiss ?
The most favorite part is the hook of this song, “ Kiss Kiss, Sweet “ While blewing a kiss, he dances by rocking his body from side to side. He sings this phrases with such a cute choreography.
KHJ: On the stage, looking at the eyes of the audience, I sing this song with my love to them, as if I would kiss to them. I really wanted to put the word “sweet” (amai in Japanese) in this phrase, because “ love “ is sweet and dramatic, right?
How do you imagine a dramatic love ?
KHJ: Let me see ………. Based on my experience, it seems the first love because it is a long-lasting memory for everyone, and a precious memory for myself as well. “ A dramatic love” in imagination …. it may be coming across with the ex-girlfriend ? If I happen to see her in such a situation, I may feel a strange emotion.
The objective of this year in Japan ?
You mainly focus on music activities this year. Your objective is Arena Tour in Japan ?
KHJ: I am happy about being No. 1 in the music chart, but I strongly hope to have concerts in many cities as there are chances to see many people. When I realize this, Arena tour, I will show you a great performance. You can expect much. If I could hope for more, I would like to challenge for a drama or a movie in Japan because I think that there are interesting themes in Japanese drama/moivies. I should work harder in Japanese for that.
