MC: Thank you for coming today. Please give your message to celebrate his birthday.
YS: I sent him an e-mail yesterday, but no reply.
MC: No reply ?
HJ: Because my mobile was broken !
MC: Was it broken ?or did you break it ?
HJ: I broke it
MC: Oh my god !
HJ: To take this opportunity, I would like to announce to my friends who gave me a call yesterday that my mobile was broken !
MC: Could you also convey this to your friends as well (to the audience) ?
How about you,KyuJongssi ?
KJ: I also called him but could not get through.
Though Iworried about what’s going on? but it is good to know that there was nothing serious. Anyway, happy birthday ! We have to turn off the candles quickly.
MC: As I am going to say one, two, three, please say Happy Birthday
For the overseas fans, please speak slowly.
Kim Hyun Joong, Happy Birthday ! Let’s go !
One two three,
Kim Hyun Joong, Happy Birthday !
HJ: Thank you !
MC: Happy Birthday! Did you pray for something?
HJ: Yes I did
MC: Within a moment to blink?
HJ: Yes
MC: What did you pray for ?
HJ: Well, I prayed so that I will always be able to be happy.
MC: Though I would like to put a piece of cake on your face, I won’t as today is a special day for you. Please cut the cake by all of you, three ?
YS: Three times ?
MC: No! by all of you, three together !
One two three !
HJ: The inside of the cake looks fake
MC: Because we will reuse it, that’s why.
Please clean up !
As we have them as guest today, let’s have a chat.
HJ: Let’s move on closer to the frontward
MC: You guys are in a line. It looks like a painting!
You all became so cool!
Yongsaengssi, no long time no see !
YS: We met a few times !
MC: You are so cool now !
YS: Thank you
MC: I see you today, after a long time, KyuJongssi, you are really handsome!
KJ: Thank you
MC: So cool !!! I know that you guys are very close friends, you are busy now?
KJ: Yes, really busy
YS: I have been hectic days. Let it go ~ Let it go~ ♪
MC: KyuJongssi is leaving for Japan tomorrow. For musical?
KJ: Yes, the musical “Goong” takes place at Kyoto.
Good to be here before I leave.
MC: Yes, it is nice that all of us get together here. Have you seen Hyun Joongssi’s stage performance ?
YS: No I have not.
MC: You have’nt ? or you could not ?
YS: I only saw the movie.
MC: How do you think from the viewpoint of senior ?
YS: Senior?
MC: As a solo artist, you are senior, right?
YS: Well, you may refresh your mind as a beginner of solo artist, but once you go to the studio (broadcast station), you realize that you are no longer a beginner. Because in reality, you are a singer with 7-years’ career, and you are not a beginner at all. So feel confident in yourself as a senior of 7-years’ performance whom junior singers will adimire, and show your performance on stage without any hesitation.
HJ: The current stage performance, itself shows the capability of myself, a singer with 7-years’ career. I don’t become nervous even in front of many people. I would like to continue like this way.
MC: (to KJ) Fantastic, you did see the stage, didn’t you ? How was it ?
KJ: He looked cool and stylish as SS501 leader. The performance united with other dancers was spectacular, really masculine. His new hair style is also nice!
MC: Any point you feel a pitty?
KJ: He heavily sweats.
HJ: As I am no longr 20 years old, I cannot stop sweating.
MC: If you see him from a long distance, he looks like Jo Hyeong-Kissi (actor).
Well, I prepared some questions for you.
Let’s start ! Are you ready?
Hyun Joongssi is always nice-looking and manly for you, fans.
But, you guys, could you please tell us the secrets you can talk now ?
We have to know about his secrets, right?
So, you write your answers on the flip.
Let’s me ask one question while staff is preparing the flips.
Do you drink alcohol?
YS: Except for me
MC: Yongsaengssi does not drink ?
HJ: KyuJong drinks a lot, but Yongsaeng drinks so so.
MC: Tell me the no. of bottles in record you all three drank together?
HJ: Well, we could drink 12 bottles of soju, right?
YS: No, I didn’t
MC: Twelve bottles by three ? If I simply calculate, an average 4 bottles per each!
But there is a person who can drink more than 6 bottles, right?
KJ: It was Hyun Joong because he was a man !
HJ: That’s why I sweat a lot ?
MC: Your sweat smell alcohol ! It’s a joke.
But if you drink alcohol, metabolism is getting better!
HJ: I would like to stop drinking at a reasonable volume…. I drink makgoli from now on. I will decrase the volume I drink.
MC: The answer of this question was 12 bottles by three.
Well, as I am going to make questions to you, you are expected to write your honest answers.
HJ: Yes, I will.
YS: My answer may be looked in!
MC: Turn yourself a bit.
HJ: You turn yourself like this way !
MC: You lead the show very well. You are really talented !
MC: Question 1,
Where does Hyun Joongssi look first when he see a girl?
Let’s start, KyuJongssi, do not cheat!
Please answer about Hyun Joongssi.
Hyun Joongssi, you answer by yourself as well.
“ I look here when I see a girl. “
YS: I wrote it
MC: Already ? Yongsaengssi is so quick !
(to Hyun Joong) Where do you look ? The other two have already written it.
You expedite to finish, please.
Where did you see myself?
Quicky answer the question. Do not draw, but write in letters !
Oh you have finished !
Let’s see his answer first. You two guys, do not show your answers yet.
Hyun Joongssi, please show your answer ( HJ illustrated an eye )
MC: He look into the eyes !
Whay are you so excited ? (to the audience)
Well, how far is this answer from those of the other two ?
Yongsaengssi, I assume that both of their answers will be interesting.
“ Alcohol capacity and appearance !
Could you explain about your answer ?
YS : Hyun Joong is not interested in a girl who cannot drink alcohol.
MC: Wao ~ Really ?
YS : As he likes a friendly atmosphere, it is important whether she can drink alcohol or not.
MC : Is there anybody who is capable to drink 6 bottles of soju ?
You will faint ! ( to the fans who raised their hands )
Then, the next is KyuJongssi, he is honest.
“ Face and appearance from behind “
You check even “ silhouette “ as well.
Please explain why. I think that these answers are correct !
Be honest !
HJ : OK. I am going to tell where I see when I look at a girl.
MC: Do you see her face?
HJ : Yes, I see her face
I see her face, appearance from behind
I check her alcohol capacity
I see whether she is kind or not …..
I love a perfect lady !
MC : Well, I hope that you will meet a perfect lady in future.
HJ : Yes
MC : Yongsaengssi, where do you look ?
HJ : May I write it in the flip?
Or may I draw ?
MC : Where does Yongsaengssi look at ?
HJ : Well, he doesn’t care for height.
MC : Is it OK for you a girl with 1.3 m height? I’m kidding.
HJ : Yongsaeng loves a pretty and innocent girl, right?
YS : That’s right !
MC : A girl who is pretty as well as innocent !
What a high ideal !
How about KyuJongssi ?
HJ : KyuJong’s taste is a bit fanny
YS : He likes a fanny girl. He loves an aggressive, spunky girl.
MC : Does he love a girl like Kim Sinyon? She is aggressive !
Let’s go on to the second question.
Question 2, Are there anything that you want Hyun Joongssi to stop ?
You can write what kind of habit you would like to stop.
You guys can write what you want him to discontinue from the viewpoint of his juniors.
They are not junior ? (to the audience)
HJ ; Yongsaeng is not a junior, a friend of mine!
KyuJong is younger than me by one year, but he is senior by school grade (he is kidding now) Well, it is very delicate issue.
MC : Among both of you, who is older ?
HJ : It ‘s me
MC : Is it OK for you (to KyuJong)
KJ : Well he agreed with it
MC : Does he call you “hyeong“ ?
KJ : Yes ( he is joking too )
MC : Please write what you want him to stop
KJ : Is there anything?
YS : Very difficult
MC : How about his drinking habit ? If there is nothing, you can write
“ nothing “
For example, he frequently looses his belongins somewhere, or he easily forget many things, and so on. I know very well that he oversleeps because I woke him up every morning in my TV program. However, compared with Jung Min ssi, he was less violent. Jung Min ssi kicked me. I could not get upset because he was asleep.
Well KyuJongssi finished , who is called as “ hyeoung “
Yongsaengssi also finished ?
YS : Yes I did
MC : Nothing ? (to HJ)
HJ : Nothing.
MC : He mentioned that he has nothing to write.
Let’s see the answers of the two at the same time !
YS : The same answers
MC : One two three !
“ Drinking habit “ “ He drinks too much “
YS : If I dare to say, that’s it.
MC : Please tell us more details.
YS : He drinks in a very fast way before he gets drunk, but once he gets drunk, the pitch is getting faster.
KJ : Let’s act by ourselves.
MC : Who acts as Hyun Joongssi? (KJ points out YS )
MC : He pours soju into a cup ? Please use a water bottle !
Ready Action !
YS : We fill the cups to the brim by each other, toast !
Very soon, “ let’s drink “ , then he fills the cup again and again,
He drinks off a few bottles in 30 minutes or so.
KJ : Even I ask “ Is it OK ? “ he just answers “ fine with me !”
He has to manage by himself especially when he is busy.
MC : Are there any reason why you drink so quickly ?
HJ : I have little free time to spend
MC : Youwant to get drunk quickly ?
HJ : I have something I want to forget. I try to improve my drinking habit, but friends of mine drink much faster than me. I think that they are here today.
MC : Can you introduce your friends ?
HJ : I cannot tell you who came …. Imyong, Jinyong, MinSoo, Hee-Woong,
Jeong-Jae, all came here ! Tegangkunis over there as well !
MC : He is a guy in question ?
HJ : He used be an easy-going guy, but he has recently started to study.
MC : How many bottles of soju do you drink ? or crock of soju?
YS : I had a drink together with them, I was almost to die !
HJ : It was a Christmas eve, and he was dying
MC : It was a nightmare
KJ : Next morning he said that “ There is always someone stronger !”
MC : (to HJ ) Your friends are having a drink over there, enjoying your
Showcase.
HJ : It is prohibited to have a drink here, go and have a drink outside !
MC : The next question is “ about his weakpoints “
For example, he dislikes insects, he has a mole in the back, and so on.
If you touch this, it will mean the end for him, please tell us this kind of secrets. Hyun Joongssi, you will also write by yourself. Nothing?
HJ : How about the next question?
MC : What is your decisive weakness ?
HJ : Let’ go on to the next question
MC : It’s your weakness
HJ : What is the next ?
MC : KyuJongssi, nothing ?
KJ : Everyone knows – he is weak against tickling
And he dislikes the insects.
HJ : A moth was flying when I was on the stage today. There was no way for me… The tears were about to spill from my eyes.
MC : Because of that moth?
HJ : I overcame this with professionalism
I am not afraid of cheetah, nor hyena, but I cannot endure insects.
Centipede, mouth, cicada, dragonfly, I dislike all these insects
MC: Are there any episodes regarding insects?
HJ: One day, a cockroach flew to Yonsaeng’s room, and did you catch it?
YS: No, it was caught in the door
HJ: Yes, I remember it. As I was so frighted that I quickly closed the door, and it became caught in the door.
MC: Youngsaengssi, you also dislike the cockroach?
YS: Are there anyone else who do not care for them?
MC: Some people crash them in the hand. How about KyuJongssi ?
KJ: Me? I don’t get scared..
When we had a shooting outdoors, I catched a dragonfly , putting it on Hyun-Joong’s shoulder. Then he badly abused me
HJ: At that time, I seriously abused him
MC: In all seriousness?
HJ: The words to abuse him came out of my mouth
MC: Does it include “number “ or animal ?
HJ: A nephew
MC: That sort of ?
HJ: I also shouted “number 18 “
MC: It included the number
HJ: Nephew, Crepass 18, continuously (= bastard ! Son of a bitch !)
KJ: It was really shocking
MC: Foreigners cannot understand at all, so Koreans, please explain to the neighbors. “Son of a bitch !” , when you heard this, I assume that you got hurt, right?
KJ: Yes, I understood how much he felt scared for the dragonfly.
So, if you hide an insect in your hand and approach him, you would see a childish side of Hyun Joong (not only his manly image). And if you say “ Oh I have an insect in my hand” , he would definitely be gentle to you.
MC: So, even in a quarrel, we would be able to beat him with an insect in our hand.
HJ: At the shooting site of Playful Kiss, there wre many dragonflies. I was troubled so much because it was especially autmn. As I felt much scared for these dragonflies, I could not keep high motivation at site. With down in tension, the viewing rate went down. I felt shocked by the dragonflies, and the viewing rate was also shocking.
MC: It was a very sad story.
HJ: But this drama was a big hit in the overseas.
MC: Yes, I know that Playfull Kiss was a blockbuster outside Korea.
You acted very well as if you had never been startled by the dragonflies.
I also saw the beginning of the drama. It was interesting.
HJ: Thank you.
MC: The next question, what is it ?
What is your strength, your own weapon which can beat everyone?
Appearance, positive attitude, etc,
YS: I’ve got it
MC: Appearance is also a big strength, as well as the inside of personality
YS: Well, I have it in mind, but how can I exlain in a word ?
MC: Please tell us. Have you written it ? Show your flip and
Explain for us?
Have you written it ? (to HJ) Oh you are drawing a picture again !
Don’t draw! But write it ! Now he is writing down.
Let’s start from what Hyun Joongssi wrote by himself.
KHJ: Relationship (bonds) with people
If I feel hard, or tiresome, I got encouragement from staff, friends, etc. Though I was immatured, thanks to the support from both of seniors and juniors as well as staff, I have been able to reach today’s positioning. The two friends standing next to me today is one of these important bonds.
MC: Well, let’s me ask the other two guys about their answers.
YS: A similar one. I wrote “ Luck “
He has a luck ?
HJ: If you show your flip upside down, it means “ball” ( in hanglecharactors)
YS: It looks so
YS: He is really lucky guy.
MC: Is there any episode?
YS:: I don’t know how to explain …. When we enjoyed a card game together, nobody could beat him. He has an excellent intuition. He can easiliy guess what other people have in mind.
MC: He is generous! If he had a white cloth and wind, he could go anywhere.
That is himself, right?
KJ: In the overseas, when we put on TV, there was a running race on air. The guy he guessed No. 1 won a race.
MC: Even with a good intuition, don’t touch horse racing
HJ: I only play with Loto and Toto
I got a hit in lottery
MC: Really ?
HJ: I bought again another Loto with the redund, but I had a considerable no. of hit.
MC: You buy them (Loto, Toto) even now? How about lottery?
HJ: Well, I sometimes buy one each between fanmeetings
MC: You won the fund for today’s special effect (fireball) by lottery?
HJ: It costs 100,000 won per each fireball
MC: The colored fireballs are so expensive!
HJ: While dancing at the stage, I calculate the costs of fireballs in mind
I am kidding now. Loto is a tiny pleasure for me.
When I wait for a lucky draw, a week passes quickly.
I do not buy many, a few of each (Loto and Toto)
MC: How honest you are ! How about KyuJongssi?
KJ: Self-confidence and Passion
He has many assets which I don’t have.
I am rather timid, I cannot be audacious. But he challenges with confidence and passion. Therefore, he is the existence who complements what I do not have.
He reminds me of taking a challenge by myself. I would like to applaud for the fantastic staging he produced today.
HJ: I will buy you one each of lottery
KJ: I have no luck in lucky draw
MC: Do you select by number when you buy Loto?
HJ: I check the number “ 6“
MC: Let’s go on to the strength of Younsaengssi and KyuJongssi
HJ: (Yonsaeng’s strength) Charming cuteness, do you know what?
Eventhough he pretends to be manly, he cannot hide his cuteness
MC: He cannot hide his charm? Camera !could you close up Yongsaengssi?
Cute ! Could you sing a song ?
YS: I would like to go on a chic style
MC: Your song is really chic. You are popular not only in Korea but also in European countries as well. For your fans, could you please even one phrase of your song?
Everyone will follow you together.
HJ: Let’s sing together
YS: At the same key, please
MC: In a chic stle
YS: ……………………………. (sings Let it Go )
I stop here
MC: Really beautiful voice !
What is KyuJongssi’s strength?
HJ: Warmness, he can warm your heart just by talking to you
MC: Warmness …..
HJ: You feel moved by just looking at him as you feel his tolerance which embraces you.
MC: When we worked together for “ Thank you for waking up series”, he was always awake. As soon as he heard the door open, he came to greet me.
KJ: I only slept badly.
MC: KyuJongssi, you are leaving tomorrow for Japan, starting the performance from the 11th of June?
KJ: Yes, I will be on the stage from the 11th to the 26th of June.
MC: You perform in Japanese ?
KJ: No in Korean. The original musical was a hit in Japan as well. We were asked to perform in Korean. Production team are also Korean. We would like to show the power of Korean musical.
MC: You fit in with the image of Goong. Your song has not yet been released in Korea. We would like to listen to even just the beginning part of your song.
KJ: My song?
MC: Just a beginning part of the song as it is not released.
KJ: Sad song? Cheerful song? Which do you prefer ?
Then, I will sing a beautiful song.
MC: A beautiful song ?
( KJ‘s song ……………)
MC: Bravo ~!
YS: I heard it for the first time
MC: What’s the score ?
HJ: 100 points out of 100
MC: How do you think, Yongsaengssi ?
YS: It is a beautiful song
MC: Do you think that you wanted to sing ?
YS: I think so a little
MC: I assume that both of you also got some offers for musical ?
HJ: So fair no offer to me. Therefore, I produce a song for me
If I had a chance in future, I would like to challenge
MC: How about Yongsaengssi? I cannot believe that you have not received any offer for musical.
YS: Yes, I had some. However, as I started as a singer, I did not want to choose musical for solo debu. So I don’t think of musical now.
MC: In future?
YS: Not clear
MC: If you watch KyuJongssi‘s stage at musical, you may change your mind?
YS: It is tough for me because I have to learn everything, singing, dancing and acting
MC: You acted very well awhile ago
YS: Did I ? Well then ….
MC: I wish that you will make a success on your new stage
Today, I talked with threemembers, I feel that they are friends as well as a family. They understand each other, support together, that’s the reason I feel like a family. Even you start as solo artist, Hyun Joongssi feels encouraging.
Could you say a word to each other ?from Hyun Joongssi to the next please!
HJ: Do I say something to Yongsaeng ?
MC: Or vice versa is fine
HJ: No, I will. It is quite tough if I suddenly have to speak in a formal way.
MC: Usually, you do not.
HJ: Yongsaeng ! The relationship between you and me is …… We have never abused each other ….., we are very close ……… these days
MC: It sound great !
HJ: It is not tremulous excitement, but I feel my heart beating in a different way
MC: You feel awkward even you are close friends.
HJ: I cannot treat you in the same way I do for KyuJong, but let’s appeal our close friendship , you little rascal!!
MC: It sounds pleasant
From Yongsaengssi to KyuJongssi ?
YS: What shall I say ?
You stepped into the new area, musical as a start of solo, you will have difficulties, especially you will be on a stage in the overseas. You may have a different hardship from what you have here. However, Hyun Joong’s fans will support you together. Many fans will give support to you. Please do not forget about it. Just do your best. Please give full support to him (to the audience) !
MC: The place of the stage?
KJ: Kyoto Minamiza
MC: How do you say in Japanese “ Do you know ?”
Do you know Minamiza ?
Please make it sure to go there !
KJ: Please make it sure to come over to Minamiza (in Japanese)
MC: Well I have to study !
From KyuJongssi to Hyun Joongssi ?
KJ: Today is a memorable day when he release his first solo alubum with Break Down. He has never said die, but I fully understand how much he put all his energy for today. Not only many of your fans, but also we give support to you, please show us fantastic solo performance. I also hope that he will further upgrade himself and will be back to SS501. Leader, fighting !
MC: You are happy guy
HJ: I feel the same way. I am very happy with friends I believe in and depend on.
All of you, please take care of such friends around you. Yongsaeng’s fans may give support to me sometimes, and help each other like this way.
MC: Please send a big applause to Yongsaengssi and KyuJongssi who came over to Hyun Joongssi’s showcase today!
I regret to tell you that we have to say goodbye to them now.
HJ: Thank you. Please applause for them, the friends I love.
MC: HyunJoongssi, please hug Yongsaengssi,
HJ: Oh it’s hard to do so in the sober.
MC: And KyuJongssi
You don’t abuse them when they turned aroud?
Thank you very much !
Yongsaengssi !andKyuJongssi !

Originally thought there would be some level of awkwardness as we have not met for such a long period of time. But after a few rounds of conversation we realised that it is not going to be so. Despite being more matured in certain aspects and seemingly more rebellious, he is still very much like the Kyu everyone know of and is ambushing a surprise for us. (slimz1808 : the para after this is too tough for me! gotta give up, sorry =( but the basic meaning i suppose is talking about him being solo, standing by himself yet not losing his humbleness....)
"处变不惊的表象下藏着懵傻的纯良，沉稳老练的应对难掩对真实的执拗。分开旅行时日已久，然而即便成了所赏故事的中心，奎钟仍不愿用“聪明人”来形容自己，没有那些虚无的赞扬作绊，他的每一步都走得更加坚实。破茧前，总有很多秘密……"
COOL's special highlights
★Cool entered B2M's office under the eyes of Fans. Kyu has already appeared while Cool was still engrossed in the posters of Hyori/YS and Kyu!★
★Kyu has lost weight again but still feeling energetic and full of zest when answering questions. Very often it was be'coz of time constraint that staff would interrupt our conversation ~ （hate！！）. His mole below his mouth moving along as Kyu chattered on, gave a sexy feel.. WA~~~ during the parts of the interview when we talked about food, the glitter in his eyes shone even more brightly and he even started using a more excited tone of speech, totally oblivious to it himself!★
★Always gotta prepare to be to more alert during interviews with Kyu. Before we started, Kyu saw the 乔巴笔 (slimz1808: check on google images for this character's pen) of one of Cool's staff and went "AH 乔巴!!!" and followed on with a demo on how to use the pen .... ★
★During photo taking, Kyu secretly turned the magazine to HJL's page and kept saying how handsome his hyung is! But when he flipped to his own page, he shyly and with lightning speed flipped over it until he saw KARA's photo then he became excited again. ★
★During interview, his manager was flipping COOL's magazine's Japan column and was seriously reading up on the girls of AKB. This caused Kyu to follow suit.
Kyu to Cool: is this their ranking?
Cool: yup
Mgr to Kyu: You look at this #1... mediocre only!
Kyu: how are they mediocre!? you look at this (frantically flipping over the pages), see so cute!!! (angry)
(2nd para re GNA, i'm omitting the translation.)★
★When manager was flipping another magazine and saw MARIO's photo and asked "is this Choi Si won (SJ's)?".
Cool: this is Mario, Thailand actor!". Mgr was not familiar with Mario but Kyu who was taking photos at a side suddenly commented "AH! I know him! Mario wow oh~~!". After his sudden burst of excitement which was less than 3 secs Kyu turned his face back to the camera man, continue with his cool poses... ★
★Upon hearing that there will be Polaroid shots for fans, he immediately asked for self cam, ending up with lotsa poses, feeling happy and indulged himself in self pleasures. Image consultant commented on one of the shots "Ah! this looks like Jungmin”. Cool thought they think the shot was not nicely taken and wanted to have a re-take. Cool immediately told Kyu "if you think its not satisfactory, can re-take!". Kyu immediately replied with a smile "no need for re-take, there will be people who like such funny and weird ones!".
Cool: huh?!
Kyu: joking la! (to get Kyu's Polaroid shots pls stay tuned to Cool)★
Acting related questions
Cool: Its been a while since you last appear in front of fans in the capacity of a singer. What has been the focus of life all this while.
Kyu: Firstly, I had a period of rest after finishing SS501 activities last year and a series of fanmeets. It was during my rest that I received the invite to participate in GONG. Thereafter I went to Japan for GONG and came back after completing the performances.
Cool: Was it very stressful acting the highly anticipated role of "Lee Shin"?
Kyu: This being my first time into musical, the stress level is definitely high and demanding. Being the main lead cast I could feel the expectations of audiences and thus felt burdened. Other cast members were very supportive advising me to be more relax and reminding me that "you are not alone, just relax and try your best". Felt great after the successful completion of all the performances.
Cool: Was any special methods applied in the training of acting skills?
Kyu: As my normal speaking style, which is fast paced and in a low (volume) voice, is not ideal for musical performances, more effort was put into correcting that as compared to improving my acting skills. I've also watched a lot of other musicals and their dramas and also the stage of Yunho, picking up a lot from these which were of much help.
Cool: Everyone was shocked when news of you casting as "Lee Shin" was released, much of the reason being the vast difference in your own character and that of LS. Are you satisfied with the performance?
Kyu: I was pretty hesitate and worried initially. Was also deciding between "LS" and "rui". After discussions with management, it was advised that to take on a role which is opposite of myself would be of much aid in my advancement in the area of acting. Such decision would also portray a new and handsome image for fans. Hence I took up this challenge (smile).
Cool: From your performances its seems that apart from the singing, you were also very focused on the acting. What was the image you wanted to portray from your acting?
Kyu: When the director was explaining the musical to me, I ever harbored thoughts like "this must be tough!", "can I do well?". But I really received lots of help and encouragement from fellow casts and thus able to finish the performances successfully. "So long as I work hard and seriously, it will naturally turn out to be good, without the need to put in deliberate efforts to make myself good". I am now more confident of myself after the completion of this new area of challenge. It would be good if in future I can perform out of Korea! (smile).
Cool: When did you start having interest in acting?
Kyu: I When I first acted out the role according to the scripts on the stage, I can feel the uniqueness of acting. Music is something that can bring across a feeling/message to audiences within a short time and also show my true self to audiences. Acting is about creating many new and different 'me', Hence regardless of GONG or any future works, I would also like to try out many other roles. (slimz1808 : frankly dun c the link in his answer to the qn here... haa.. and it happened to some of the questions below)
Cool: What kind of roles do you want to take up?
Kyu: As I started out as a singer, I find standing on the actor's stage pretty tough regardless of whether I'm interested in acting. I received acting jobs during my days as a singer. At that time my focus was not in acting. After learning bits by bits along the way, it arouses my interest and hence would want to take up more different challenges.
Cool: It seems like you like horror movies? Kyu: Yes, love it! Coz its something that do not happen in reality... at times felt that some things seem to have appeared in dreams~
Cool: During our previous interview with Jungmin (slimz1808: dunno issit SS501's min or GONG's min), he said he will be able to do a good job acting out a role which is 'bad on the outside but kind in the inside", reason being that this is the original him. For yourself, do you prefer to act a role which is similar to yourself or one that is different from yourself?
Kyu: The roles that I would like may not be from those romantic dramas or a role who need not ponder much about the thinking of the opposite female role. As acting is not my forte, I'm contented so long as I can use my own style to act out a role which audience can accept.
Cool: What kind of acting would you think is good acting?
Kyu: Frankly speaking, my stage performances have not appeared on TV for a while. I did receive lots of invites, but I've been busy learning acting recently and is also feeling much anxiety for the role. I kept working hard and at the same time held on to the thoughts that "I'm still lacking in many areas, there are still much room for hardwork and improvement".
Cool: This the first time Kyu is challenging acting. Did you receive any advice from other experienced actors?
Kyu: Received a very memorable piece of advice from Cha Tae Hyun at the beginning. He said "just portray your normal original self, use your own style and speech to act out the role. This will enable audiences to accept you more easily". Hence I relaxed myself and tried out his advices. Results of was a very much fluent speech and was pretty happy b'cos of that.
Cool: Did Kyu set a goal for yourself? liking for any particular actor?
Kyu: Liked Ha Jung-Woo of Korea，Jay Chou of China (slimz1808 : actually is singer of TW) is also very talented，for America/Europe would be Johnny Depp whose acting skills is really superb，for Japan wold be Shun Oguri.
Music, coming~
Cool: Kyu has 3 solos under your belt. 《Wuss up》《Never Let You Go》《Confession》. Are you satisfied with your performance thus far? Which is your favourite?
Kyu: All has their own individual charm. My personal favourite would be 《Wuss up》. However as this was my first solo song, there are definitely more room for improvement. Currently I'm preparing for my new songs and recordings. Hope would be able to bring a handsome stage and nice songs!
Cool: All other SS members have had their solos except yours which is still on the way. Can divulge what's the plans thereafter?
Kyu: Firstly, I do feel the stress after seeing all the other members' handsome comeback! As things are still under planning stage, I'm not able to confirm any dates, hence is still on the look out for a time for comeback. Seeing good advancement in the career of the other SS members, I would prefer to CB with a more handsome image rather than to rush into CB asap. Will CB only after good preparation.
Cool: How's your solo album coming?
Kyu: Currently still preparing for the songs
Cool: What's your views on your members' solos?
Kyu: Everyone is still like in the past. Speaking out their minds, saying "this is mediocre", "that is awesome" directly. Everyone would feel good after speaking out and also would be able to accept critcs and change for the better, portraying a much better image. (slimz1808 : another answer that dun link to question ...?? mabbe he's trying to say all did their best...)
Cool: It seems that their solos has been very different from previous works. Would yours be likewise?
Kyu: Secret, this is a secret ah~(hides). This time would want to portray a totally new image, hence please look forward to it! (smiles)
Cool: During SS, the style of music is pretty limited. As for yourself, what genre of music do you want to challenge?
Kyu: Eh, I received many songs of varying genre, with different appeals. Thoughts like "how to bring out the feel of this song?""is it tough?""does it suits me?" surfaced during song choosing making it tough to choose. Would like to try all regardless of Ballad、Pop、Jazz、R&B、Rock….Identifying one that suits me most. I think rather than saying what I want, its more about finding what suits me more.
Cool: Ever thought of being producer? or train new trainees in future?
Kyu: I would have to learn more for that. Although I'm not at a stage whereby I can make good music (slimz1808: aka good music producer), I am however involved in the production of my own solo album. Appreciate everyone's patient waiting! Anyway I'm still young (smiles)~ HWAITING!! (clenched fist)
Character that is maturing with experiences
Cool: In the past you are the center of SS, shy KKJ etc. Are you still shy to express yourself nowadays?
Kyu: Frankly a lot of fans and friends find that I have become more tough, the before and after of GONG is a totally different me! My confidence level increased tremendously after GONG. I'm now more confident and have more inner strength to face challenges, different from the shy me in the past.
Cool: What's the biggest change in character in yourself since debut?
Kyu: Changed a lot! Although don't know the specific reason, but with the passing of time I have become more outgoing and witty. Used to be more cautious and careful in the past, can't even talk when nervous and not much friends. Have now thrown away that self and wont be like in the past anymore! (smiles)
Cool: What is the most valuable character of yourself?
Kyu: Actually I really do not like my own character, strong curiosity and always thinking too much. A matter which others can forget/pass over fast and easily, may take me more time to get over. I'm not able to let it go as easily as I think too much into it. hmmm.. looks like I am not a good lover .. (slimz1808 : Sigh, Cool: huge jump in thoughts ah~~)
Cool: What do you look for when making frens?
Kyu: I will be able to know from one's eyes expression and tone of speech during our first encounter if this person will be a friend. In the first conversation, if one is bad, regardless of his deliberate attempts to disguised with good speech, his eyes expression and style of conversation will be portray his true self, so it will not be difficult to confuse such a person with a good person.
Cool: Who is some of the entertainers whom you are closer with?
Kyu: SS members, Kara's Kang Jiyoung who is like a sister, FTIsland's Lee Hongki, for same aged friends would be BIGBANG's TOP (pause)... think he is not of same age, so I dont have any friends! (laughs)
Cool: What is the most interesting thing you have heard from friendsrecently?
Kyu: .... i just came back from Japan havent got a chance to meet up with frens... really want to find time to gather and play. In the past been playing bowling with frens, really wanna go bowling soon. (eyes brimming with tears)
Cool: Looking at your desire for it, should be very good at it!
Kyu: Uh ...hahaha!
Cool: How about during this time when you were alone, did you meet with any interesting things?
Kyu: fun things.... (playing with earrings) ... recently been in Japan busy with training and performances...
Cool: Everyone's reaction to the kiss scene in GONG is very big!
Kyu: Ah, originally the kiss was to be the ending scene of the performance and lightings should dim immediately after the kiss. However I clearly remember for one of the performances, when the lighting coordinator did not dim the lights after the kiss and we had to kiss for longer, it drew lotsa attention from fans and causing fans to shout "too long! (laugh)
Cool: HAHAHA! The LOVE story in GONG is very beautiful. In reality, what is your own views of LOVE?
Kyu: I am one who will grab on to the chance once i meet someone I like, regardless of the ending. Will develop the relationship under such thinking ... (blushing~) Really want to have a date with someone I like soon.A anyway I'm getting older already. Wanna have a date soon. Really envy those who are in love ah!

(slimz1808 : OMG, ladies try and hit google images for this word "毛蛋" to know what he is referring to!!!) [liezle : OMG! he likes that kind of egg?! I wonder if he ate this also in the Philippines]
Cool: If visit China, what do you look forward to most and what's most feared of?

Kyu: Before the FM, was pretty worried tgr with YS. Often thinking if we will be able pull off FM in so many countries. However the support we got from all the countries we visited was so tremendous and that enabled us to welcome 2011 with a good start. Really thankful. I will be back to see everyone!
COOL: Your various trips to China in the past is for work, did you by any chance had a private personal trip before? (slimz1808 : china i suppose refers to china, HKG and TW?)
Kyu: Nope. Ate alot of nice chinese foods during our China trips like roost duck, dim sum, drink and other special foods. Also had a type of egg which is good for body .....
Cool: Is it the type of hairy egg?!!! you had that? I dont dare to eat!
Kyu: I also din.. heee... if next time have the chance need to tour China!
(slimz1808 : OMG, ladies try and hit google images for this word "毛蛋" to know what he is referring to!!!) [liezle : OMG! he likes that kind of egg?! I wonder if he ate this also in the Philippines]
Cool: If visit China, what do you look forward to most and what's most feared of?
Kyu: Fear of probably none. China is huge, would want to visit all parts. Frankly I haven even explore all of Korea~ But if given a chance really must visit China, visit the Great Wall. And would also want to visit the movie sceneries in those epic drama movies~
Cool: Lastly, please say something to China fans
Kyu: Everyone in China, I'm KKJ! Havent seen you for ages, really misses everyone! Hope everyone is healthy and feeling happy. I will be back with my new work soon! I love you all!

SS501’s Kim Kyu Jong has announced that he’ll be making a solo debut!
A representative of B2M Entertainment revealed, “Kim Kyu Jong is currently working on an album with a release date by early September as his goal.” He’s currently completed most of the recordings, including his title track.
Although he was originally aiming to debut as an actor first, his passion for singing was too strong to ignore. Kim Kyu Jong finally gave into his soloist goals in the beginning of the year, and since then, he’s been slowly going through his preparations. His fellow members’ solo debuts were also said to have been a source of great encouragement for him.
Since he’s the last member of SS501 to make his solo debut, expectations are rising high for Kim Kyu Jong’s new work.

Hi hi.. ^^
Now is.. 1st August evening..!!
Is everyone eating their dinner on time ! Not go skipping meals for diets right !!
Is everyone doing well? ^^
The memory of debuting in Japan with Kokoro single on 1st August 2007 came upon me suddenly..
It seems like just yesterday, time really flies isn’t it ?!^^
With unfamiliar Japanese language, we recorded our songs and practiced choreography, we were frustrated as we don’t speak the same language.. heehee
Now, everyone is fluent and good in Japanese ^^ Really praiseworthy heehee
At that time, we had to trouble our translator with fan letters in Japanese given by fans~ Now we are able to read!!
Yoohoo!! ^^ heehee The fan letters given by fans were a great help in studying Japanese~~
Album went on sale and when all our members saw our name on the chart in the first week, we screamed and was happy..^^ heehee
I still remember it now !! The expressions of our members with their eyes wide in shock..^^!!
And for the next single, we heard the ranking via phone and YoungSaeng hyung and I were overjoyed in the train and
The other members were overjoyed in the dorm and recording studio, and we screamed over the phone !!
Hurray hurray !! Like this !!~~
Thank you for giving us loud laughs and happiness and joy at that time~~
Triple S hurray..^^
It is raining a lot these days, and there were a lot of damages.. I am worried if everyone is fine..
I heard it is also raining a lot in Japan.. I wonder if everyone is fine .. ^^!!
Hmm hmm !! After the rain always comes the warm and bright sunlight!!
Let’s not frown and cheer up everyone ~~ he ~
Pretties!! August has started!!
Aja Aja!! The August that our HyeongJin likes, somehow feels like it will be filled with good things~
Now slowly…^^ I must get started..!! Yoohoo~~
Today’s good advice!!
He that can have patience can have what he will..

그땐 팬분들이 주신 일본어편지는 통역사분께 부탁했는데~ 이제는 읽을 수 있다구요!!
유후!! ^^ ㅎㅎ 팬분들이 주신 편지로도 일본어 공부에 많은 도움이 되었어요~~
음반을 발매하고 첫 주 순위에 올라있는 우리이름을 보고 멤버들 다 소리 지르며 기뻐했
었는데..^^ ㅎㅎ
지금도 기억나요 !! 깜짝놀래서 눈 커진 멤버들의 표정이..^^!!
그리구 다음 싱글은 전화기로 순위를 듣고 나와영생이형은 지하철에 기뻐하고
다른멤버들은 숙소에서 그리고 녹음실에서 기뻐하며 전화로 소리질렀는데 !!
만세 만세 !! 이렇게 !!~~
그때 우리에게 큰 웃음과 행복과 기쁨을 주셔서 감사합니다~~
트리플에스 만만세..^^
요즘 비가 많이 와서 많은 피해를 입었는데..다들 괜찮으신건지 걱정두되구..
일본도 비가많이왔다던데..다들 잘지내시는지 .. ^^!!
음음 !! 비 뒤에는 항상 따스하고 눈부신 햇빛이 찾아오니까!!
우리 찡그리지말구 다같이 힘내요 ~~ 히 ~

8 June (Wednesday)
Kyu Jong: Today is the day we set off to Japan. Is the day I start on my first musical challenge in Japan. Other than that, it’s also the 6th year anniversary of our debut as SS501 members. Today is such a meaningful day for me. Arriving at Kyoto via Osaka, we head over to the theatre to check on the sound system and stage. Why am I shivering… If I were to put it into words, I’m now feeling really odd about this. This isn’t the stage that I’ve always been working on, but a brand new stage? But seeing the Minamiza theatre with my own eyes is really great! Looking at the audience from the stage, I can feel the heat in me and also feels fortunate at the same time. The first day here, I’m already looking forward to working in Kyoto.
9 June (Thursday)
Kyu Jong: Not sure if it’s because it will be my first show soon, I’m not able to sleep well, lying and turning around on my bed for the whole night. To be honest, I still have a very long way to go. I’m also thought about being the main lead for my first attempt in musical, can I do well? Been thinking about all these. But there’s always the team & cast, who have been supporting and giving me energy. Because of them, I have got energy. When rehearsal starts, I was looking at Run-hyung’s rehearsal. Maybe because I’m only familiar with dancing and singing during rehearsal, so I’m still very new to this. Where to walk, costume, sound systems, have to check all of it one by one. After getting used to the stage, I felt more relax. How should I put it, when standing on the stage, I can feel that I’m alive. Feels very relax and fortunate. It feels really good to be able to stand on such a wonderful stage. Many people will come to watch our show tomorrow right? Yes, I’ll definitely need to prepare myself well! After rehearsal, drank nice citron tea to soothe my throat from all the rehearsal, I lied on the bed. Now my heart is also drumming, all my nerves are working towards the stage.
10 June (Friday)
Kyu Jong: Raining morning. Got waken up by the rain. 8am! Used to sleeping late and waking up late in Korea. I’m not used to waking up this early. Finally, it’s tomorrow. Looks like it’s still not time yet, but yet tomorrow is already our first show. So, for our last rehearsal! For the last round of check, every staff and cast members gathered on the stage. Starting our final rehearsal feeling really nervous! For everyone, for ourselves, for the show, I will work hard. Because it’s a stage like this, so I felt that I have to work even harder. Tomorrow, our Goong! Goong Goong Fighting! Fight Goong! Must have a good dream tonight!
11 June (Saturday)
Kyu Jong: Open my eyes, thinking. Thankful, thank you. Really thankful to be able to welcome such an important day. First stage! Was so nervous that I don’t even feel hungry for not eating anything. After makeup, hair styling, putting on the costume, this finally felt real. At the backstage, team congratulated the few of us on our musical debut, shouting “Goong Fighting!” together. Knowing that all the audience have already been seated 5 minutes before the show starts, my heard starts drumming again. “So, I’m Prince Lee Shin. The Prince Lee Shin that no one will be able to do anything to me.” With this determination, I got ready to go on stage. Finally, the bell rang, show starts. Musical debut stage! The moment when I stand on the stage with lights and audience cheers shining on to me, how will it feel like. So, I’m not Kim Kyu Jong, but I stood on stage as Prince Lee Shin, and completed my first 2 hours and 30 minutes debut show. During ending, everyone sang together. Really, I just teared. This is an unforgettable debut performance.
Thankful, thank you. Audience who flood the theatre to watch our performance, also people who help make this wonderful show, and many who have worked hard for us, I’m sorry that other than Thank You, I don’t know what else to say, I will do my best till my last stage.
