Singer Kim Hyunjoong's first mini album 'Break Down' is currently receiving feverish popularity for it.

On the 8th when Kim Hyunjoong officially released his album in the morning, and right until this moment (10th Jun, 2:00 PM), on the Hanteo Charts, in the Album Sales category, his No.1 status is currently holding a 3 times and bigger difference with the No.2 on the Real-Time Charts and the Daily Charts. In addition, he is also the No.1 Most Searched Real-Time keyword recorded - which is 3 thrones for him recorded altogether.

The representative charts of Korea - the Hanteo Charts, takes into record of sales data from its nationwide merchant outlets as well as the nation's biggest few discography shopping malls, and added on with sales data from medium and small internet/online merchants to get the calculation for Real-Time charts and rankings.

Kim Hyunjoong's agency KEYEAST told about this on the 10th, "Rather than putting it across that album sales have results as follow, which focuses mainly on digital singles and title tracks, is to tail behind the transformation of the music industry (in order to fit into it), it is more evident of Kim Hyunjoong's hard work put into for the full album as being verified and appreciated by fans - as proved through the results". 


On the 9th, Kim Hyunjoong has since begun his official and luxurious comeback through Mnet MCountdown with his oozing charisma on stage.

At Park KyungLim’s question about Kim HyunJoong’s drinking capacity, he replied “Kim KyuJong can drink very well, and Heo YoungSaeng certainly can drink well too. If the 3 of us drink together, we can drink about 12 bottles in total.” Shocking the audience with his words.

There were endless stories about Kim HyunJoong’s drinking. Heo YoungSaeng and Kim KyuJong even exposed Kim HyunJoong’s drinking habits “He drinks very fast”. Both of them laughed and said“HyunJoong will not be interested in a girl if she can’t drink.”

In addition, Heo YoungSaeng said “He drank 2~3 bottles in 30 minutes”, and Kim HyunJoong defended “I don’t have time and I want to play, and because I want to forget about the things I want to forget, so I drank fast. I am trying my best to fix this habit.”

[Article] Kim Hyun Joong: "I Want to Appeal as Strong Man"


Article Credit : KBS Global

Singer Kim Hyun Joong, who will release his first solo album entitled“Break Down,” said, “Bae Yong Joon gave me positive advice on my album.”

“I was just an idol when I held activities as a member of SS501, so I wanted to reveal my grown-up appearance as a strong man when I decided to debut as a solo singer.” — Kim Hyun Joong (25)

Singer Kim Hyun Joong, who debuted as a solo singer by releasing his first solo album entitled “Break Down,” held a press conference and a showcase at Jang Choong Gymnasium on June 7 and expressed his feelings. He introduced the concept of his new album, saying, “I am 26 years old in Korean age and it is still young to be classified as a grown-up man. I am actually not a type of macho man, but I just wanted to present a difference appearance not as an idol but as a man.” He had already experienced album production when he was a member of a group and he also participated in producing his album this time. He explained, “I visited America last year in June to find out my own songs, and I actively presented my own opinion when creating a dance performance and making a music video."


I have tried to deviate from my previous image in SS501 and tried to improve my performance and make the impact of the performance much stronger. I wanted to be evaluated as "He is a real man’ and ‘He can sing a mature song." As he already explained, his title song“Break Down” is a dynamic dance song with a strong beat and sound focusing on Kim Hyun Joong’s splendid dance performance. Rapper Double K participated as a featured artist. Kim continued to explain his album, saying, “People might have been curious about Kim Hyun Joong’s style in the first solo album. When I chose the title song, I agonized between ‘Break Down’ and ‘Please,’ and I chose ‘Break Down’ because I want to present a cool dance performance in the hot Summer. Romantic songs with sweet lyrics such as ‘Kiss Kiss’ are also included in my album.” The music video for the title song was unveiled during the showcase, and it also revealed Kim Hyun Joong’s Strong Image. He appeared as a muscular man with a dark and powerful image in the music video. Kim Hyun Joong said, “I made a promise with my physical trainer to work out for 100 days, and I became very nervous when 50 and 70 days passed, so I worked really hard since then. I also trained to strengthen my physical ability for a better performance as a solo singer while working out and playing soccer.” The fact that his album was the first album since he had moved to his new agency Keyeast, in whichHallyu Star Bae Yong Joon is the largest shareholder, raised more anticipation. Kim said, “Bae Yong Joon suggested I study music more, taking this chance, and he had showed any good music or dance video he came across to me. He actively supported my album production by checking videos filming my dance performance. And Bae, who has a talent in taking pictures, suggested shooting my album jacket photo. He seemed to study producing music albums as a representative of an agency. I really appreciated his advice and I am also very satisfied with the support from my agency.”

Among the members of SS501, he was the fourth member who came to debut as a solo singer. He frankly revealed that he was feeling pressure, saying, “When I looked at the other members who debuted as a solo singer, I realized that the title of “former member of SS501″ could not guarantee an easy way as a solo singer. I had to do everything by myself, and I tried to overcome myself with more practice whenever I felt difficulties. I had poor breathing and pronunciation, so I practiced reading books and newspapers while biting a cork in my mouth, and I could hit notes that I could not hit before by practicing.”




He mentioned Seo Tai Ji as his role model. He said, “Even though he sang different genre songs from me, he is still my role model as a singer. As for actors, there are many actors whom I respect, but now the actor Seol Kyung Gu, who is living in the flat below me, suddenly comes up into my head.” With the showcase held on the same day, he began his activities as a solo singer in earnest. Kim said, “Jang Choong Gymnasium will go through remodeling, and I will be the last singer who performs in this place before the remodeling. I will present a splendid performance during my showcase.” He revealed confidence and talked about his future plans, saying, “After I moved to my new agency, I had not held many performances, so I will actively perform at home and abroad from now on. I will begin holding fan meetings from August in Asian countries, and I will hold an Asia concert tour after I release my second album at the end of September. I have already begun working on my next album. You will be able to see my activities more as a singer and not as an actor this year.


[Article] Kim Hyun Joong "All that SS501 could do together when united had almost all been shown"

Kim Hyun Joong has explained about the background of how SS501went onto their respective roads.

In the episode of MBC 'Golden Fishery - Knee-drop Guru' aired on June 8, Kim Hyun Joong's recently made his comeback as a solo singer poured about his troubles 'Feels like all of mine I have is like a bubble', as he also displayed his 4-dimensional charm.

In the past where he appeared on 'Radio Star', he ever disclosed "If the agency doesn't chase us away I don't have intention to leave too", to this, Kim Hyun Joong gave a further explanation - "It was when we had only 5 months remaining of our contract left at that time".

He added, "That time was when we had one more album planned for release. That time was a period where I had not discussed about the agency's problem with our members yet", "However after our album activities ended, I talked to our members about it", as he came frank.

Kim Hyun Joong continued, "Didn't we already almost shown all that we SS501 could do as one. I told them it is not a disband, it's just that if we were to go on each of our paths for time being it'd seem like a not bad thing too", "After we have discussed it out with our members, eventually, we have decided to go on the path that best fits with our personal shine/color", as he added.

With regards to the issue on his former agency's CEO collapsing due to deterioration of health, Kim Hyun Joong said, "As far it's concerned, the most fortunate thing would be that I managed to say 'Sorry' to him before he collapsed. Should I have not been able to say that, I couldn't have came out", "If I happen to get No.1 for any drama or any music programme, I definitely want to say something like 'Sajang-nim, I've done well. Please be healthy' to him".
