Kim Hyun Joong discusses the concept for “Lucky Guy”
Kim Hyun Joong recently sat down with reporters to talk about his upcoming music video for “Lucky Guy”.
“‘Breakdown’ was a very powerful track, whereas ‘Lucky Guy’ is more of an upbeat song that I will be able to enjoy with fans… The concept this time around was inspired by the movie ‘Ocean’s Eleven’.”
He continued, “This music video was shot with a gambler concept, but although the background and atmosphere make it seem like it’s in a casino, in reality, I’ll be playing Blue Marble.” (Blue Marble is a Korean board game similar to Monopoly)
With his last mini-album selling 110,000 copies, Kim Hyun Joong holds the record for the highest figure of album sales out of all the solo artists this year.
He joked, “Since the 1st mini album sold 110,000 units, I hope the 2nd mini album will sell 220,000 copies.”
Kim Hyun Joong will be hold his comeback stage on October 20th through Mnet’s ‘M! Countdown‘, and after three weeks of promotion, he will hold his first solo Japanese tour in November.

Kim Hyun Joong to release a digital single in November + plans to act again next year
Kim Hyun Joong held a press conference for the release of his 2nd mini-album, where he explained,“Since I released a new album only four months after my last album, there may be some people who feel that it came out too soon. However, I wanted to show off as much as I could during the Asia or perhaps world tour that I’ll hold next year, so that’s the reason I’m releasing my 2nd mini album.”
He continued, “In the beginning of November, there’ll be a new digital single, and in January of next year, I will release another album.”
Kim Hyun Joong also talked about his acting plans as well. “I don’t think I can be a singer and an actor at the same time… When I’m a singer, I want the fans to see me as a singer… The Asia tour will end next June, then right after that I’ll start acting. Later on in the year, I’ll come back to the fans through a drama.” He added, “If I rest for too long, I become lazy… I’m also slowly starting to think about doing movies as well.”
After his appearances in popular dramas like KBS‘s ‘Boys over Flowers‘ and MBC‘s ‘Playful Kiss‘, many are interested in Hyun Joong’s return as an actor.

Super Junior’s Donghae: “I want to be a father soon”
On October 11th, Donghae attended the UNICEF envoy appointment ceremony alongside SNSD’s Seohyun. Celebrities become UNICEF spokespersons through active work with charities, or through donations.
During the event’s interview segment, a reporter asked Donghae whether he likes children. Donghae responded,
“Because I’ve always really liked children, I want to be a father soon. I like children so much that when I look at them, they’re like angels. I often think of whether I’ll be able to have children and be a good father in the future.“
Donghae and Seohyun collaborated to sing a duet called “Dreams Come True“, which will be sung at the ’2011 Asia Song Festival’ on October 15th.
Donghae expressed, ”I think of this as such an honor, to be able to sing the theme song of Asia’s biggest song fesivals.”
Meanwhile, Seohyun said, ”K-pop is spreading around the world as the heart of the Hallyu wave. Keeping in mind that I was appointed not for myself, but to represent all singers, I will work hard to promote [the cause].”
Proceeds from the sales of their duet will be used by UNICEF to help East African children, who have been affected by the severe famine ravaging the region.

Reposted from allkpop.com
SS501‘s Kim Hyun Joong held a press conference commemorating the release of his 2nd mini-album, “Lucky“, where he discussed the goals he had for his latest work.
The 2nd mini album starts off with “Do You Like That” and “Lucky Guy”, two tracks that carry a pop-meets-punk rock flavor. They are then followed by the softer songs, “I’m Your Man” and “U”.
Kim Hyun Joong stated, “The 1st mini album showed you the first glimpse of my image as a solo artist, and my capability in being able to ‘fill up’ the stage by myself without having all the members of SS501 there. The 2nd mini album will focus more on music in itself; as in it’s meant to be listened to, rather than being a background track for the visual components.”
He continued, “I didn’t dream of being a rocker, but I’ve always liked rock before joining SS501. I was in a school band during middle school, and played bass at church. I wanted to become a musician behind a cool rocker. I want to incorporate more rock genre music into future concepts.”
Although the promotion period for the 1st mini album was short, Kim Hyun Joong managed to sell 130,000 copies and the responses from international fans were also very positive.
He confessed, “It wasn’t easy promoting alone. There was a lot of work to do, from developing the album concept to finding songs, and it was exhausting. Before, I only had to do well on my parts, but as a solo artist, I had to calculate things like where it was hard for me to breathe while dancing; consequently, it was more difficult.”
Kim Hyun Joong continued, “But through the 1st solo promotions, I learned a lot of things such as how to control the tempo and speed.”
When asked what his goals for the new album were, Kim Hyun Joong stated, “I want this album to do better than the 1st mini album, and I want to hear that I’m the best as a solo artist out of all the SS501 members.”

[TRANS] Three men’s relationships? Train-Aegyo-gentle and sweet “three-tired combination’
Three men’s age reached mid-twenties. It’s the age that knows sweet and bitter tastes of love. Of course there must have been laughing and crying because of relationship matters.
Firstly, Kim Jae Joong who boasted the butter scent* that did not sway at Wang Ji Hye’s line “you have no exit” in SBS drama ‘Protect the Boss’, his style is ‘sweet and gentle’. Park Yu Chun said “You can’t find coldness (‘무뚝뚝함’)** in Jae Joong. He’s sweet and gentle and also shows aegyo sometimes. Jae Joong exploded, “When did I ever!” and disclosed Jun Su’s dating style.
“(Jun Su’s) phone communication is no joke, starting with ‘baby-yah’. JS who did not know what to do because of embarassment bursting out in his signature laugh redirected the focus on Yu Chun. Jun Su said, “Yu Chun talks on the phone like an adult. It sounds like he treats [his girlfriend] like a baby”.
Jae Joong added to this that “[Yu Chun] is the type who trains*** [his girlfriend] in a low tone voice.”
T/N:
* When someone smells like butter, it means that person is too much, as in too sexy, too smooth, too sweet, etc. In this case, I think the editor is talking about how JJ handeled WJH’s compliment so smoothly.
** If you want to understand 무뚝뚝함 better, just picture a typical old-school Korean father from old days in Korean dramas. A 무뚝뚝한 man doesn’t talk much, doesn’t express his feelings, doesn’t show affections towards his wife and kids, doesn’t buy flowers and gifts, etc. It’s that sort of thing.
*** As far as I know… when you train someone, it means that you sort of play relationship games (but in a good way). A person who’s a good trainer pushes and pulls his/her SO at the right time (not physically!) making the relationship more interesting.
****In short, relationship styles: JJ: sweet, gentle w/ aegyo, JS: aegyo n calls his gf “baby”, YC: trainer who treats his girl like a baby
