After months of Hibernation...

I PRESENT TO ALL:

The Bloody Pillow!!!!
*claps*

Imagine yourself entering a room and found someone lying his head on this pillow. i swear i'd shriek out of fear, the pillow looks convincing.

Living with Others- Paulo Coelho
Published on October 28 2009 at http://paolocoelhoblog.com

"Why do you live in the desert?"

“Because I can’t be what I want to be. When I begin to be myself, people treat me with a reverence that’s false. When I am true to my faith, then they begin to doubt. They all believe they are holier than I, but they pretend they are sinners, afraid to insult my solitude. They try all the time to show that they consider me a saint, and in this way they become emissaries of the devil, tempting me with Pride.

“Your problem isn’t trying to be who you are, but accepting others of the way they are. And acting this way, it’s better to stay in the desert,” said the gentleman, walking off.

The shirt and The shirtless

2009-12-07T17:23:00.000-08:00

Look what i found during my weekend stroll:

Im so gonna buy you shirt. wait there till i get hold of my money.

Shirt with Paolo Coelho quotes!!!! i was completely ecstatic. pity i didn't buy it though. i checked the web and it's a collaboration of Paolo Coelho with MANGO for a cause.proceeds go to charity of various causes. i like this particular quote. i've read Coelho's books but i haven't come across with this one yet.

and.. i've seen New Moon:

Even though i was not equally excited as with the Twilight movie, it was nice seeing it.the book is definitely better as it usually does, but just the same, i was satisfied visually.

I reacted unexpectedly on this. i was aware of Taylor Lautner's sculpted body for the movie & i knew what was coming as i had read the book but , i had to contain myself from squealing which i absolutely failed to do.

I should post this as well. found while browsing for shirtless photo of Jacob:

i like how they used the shovel in this photo. the guy on the left is Alex Merax casted as one of Quilluete tribe. which? i don't know.

Why

2009-12-06T20:54:00.000-08:00

Why do problems appear one after another now? *sigh*

while in amidst of thinking a way to solve the problem, a new one pops out.

they just keep on piling up every week.

old problems unsolved

relatively small problems but when in heaps can be utterly damaging

can't i just die now?

*dies*

That nagging feeling

2009-11-22T22:09:00.000-08:00

I feel like i am supposed to be doing something important at this point, but was unable to identify what kind of thing should i be doing.

I believe that its nothing work related, not anything of the sort , nor anything that concerns my responsibilities at home.

an inkling sensation maybe?

an intuition?

the cause of uneasiness, however i kept myself occupied with work or with any form of entertainment.

the hollow feeling that i get regardless of how productive the day had turned out to be as if i have missed out something important undone.

i strongly feel what i should be doing plays something worth significant in my life.
& by not doing that unknown thing feels like wasting my time away.

i wonder what could be it?

anyway, putting that aside...

last Saturday, i have shopped Christmas present for my family.

i did managed to save up enough sum to buy them decent gifts.

im very satisfied with what i brought for them they're gonna love it for sure :) contrary to previous year's last minute shopping (hours before Christmas eve) . i did enough preparations this time.

"ooohh.. sparkles..!"
during a stop over by a bench to ponder on what to buy

"pretty huh?"

WGM 100th Day Wedding Pictures

2009-11-16T05:58:00.001-08:00

For 3 days in a row, i can't help feeling down.
here's something to take the blues away.

Pic spam!!!!
Personally, i like the original cast of the show.
Our Ssangchu couple in sheer Pink: Hwang Bo and Hyun Joong (The older bride and younger groom 6 years of age difference)

Cute Ansol couple in powder blue : Andy and Solbi

Ant couple in black and gray in farthest left: Crown J (The soldier ant) and Seo In Young (The Queen witch Ant)

Romantic couple in black and white, The Alshin couple : Alex and Shinae

First Couple: The Ansol Couple
brief description on what to expect from this couple: Couple rings, Solbi's sillyness & stuborness Andy's patience, Solbi's persistence, & Andy's aegyo..

My favorite 100th day pic:

So cute :>

The Ant Couple: A! (Style couple, both loves shoes, Crown J's a rapper)
What to expect: Constant quarreling from this couple, Crown J's OC-ness, Seo In young's dominant, bratty and spoiled attitude (she didn't acquired the "witch" title for nothing) truthfully, i admire Crown J's patience with her. she treats In Young like a princess despite everything. (if i were him I'd get a divorce immediately) but still, I love In Young :)

With In Young's babies:

And Crown J's babies:

My pick:

The AlShin Couple
What to expect: they are described as the rich sophisticated couple. the one commonly seen in dramas. Alex is a considerate and good guy by nature. (Shinae's very pretty..) , Shinae's collection of baby shoes, this couple is very fond of pictures (the polaroid ones), Alex the romantic master of surprises

The flower pot Alex gave to Shinae:
My choice:

Ssangchu couple:
What to expect: Hyun Joong's out of this world reasoning, his punchline and jokes, the ideal wife Hwang Bo, couple shirts, couple's competitive streaks

I like this particular photo on the left. fun shots!!
Lovely :)

with the bride's friend:
sadly, i didn't get quality photos as much as the other couples has:

these are quite fun to look at:
Hyun Joong wearing the knitted scarf and vest made by his wife:

my favorites:

Joong Bo MV- Deeper Conversation by Yuna

2009-11-10T06:27:00.000-08:00

for today, i'm fan girling again.. *sigh*

So now i bring you, my favorite fan made JoongBo MV by ameliaaida. the video clips were arranged in a scrap-book like theme, plus the song used also fits the couple. sung by an independent song writer/singer from Malaysia named Yuna.

Song: Deeper Conversation
Artist: Yuna
Lyrics:

Is your favourite colour blue?
Do you always tell the truth?
Do you believe in outerspace?
Now I'm learning you

Is your skin as tanned as mine?
Does your hair flow sideways?
Did someone take a portion of your heart?
And I'm learning you

And if you don't mind
Can you tell me
All your hopes and fears
And Everything that you believe in
Would you make a difference in the world
I'd love for you to take me to a deeper conversation
Only you can make me

I've let my guard down for you
And in time you will too

If you don't mind
Can you tell me
All your hopes and fears
And Everything that you believe in
Would you make a difference in the world
I'd love for you to take me to a deeper conversation
Only you can make me

If you don't mind
Can you tell me
All your hopes and fears
And Everything that you believe in
Would you make a difference in the world
I'd love for you to take me to a deeper conversation
Only you can make me

Deeper Conversation
With me..

Does your name rhyme with mine?

The forgotten stuff

2009-11-03T06:20:00.000-08:00

Last Sunday, while i was taking a bath, my gaze averted toward my bathroom rack. my attention was caught upon the toiletries lined up messily.

my rack was divided into 2 layers. the upper rack, and the lower rack. the lower rack is where i place the toiletries i frequently use, while the upper rack's contents are for the things i use once in a while.

On the upper rack, my gaze was fixed.

there was.. one..two..three..four...

Four??...

I saw 4 bottles of shampoo.

how come i have plenty of it stocked here excluding 2 of which im using, altering every other day.?

those are the ones i used before, changing in from one after another when none of it was compatible for my hair.

how long has it been there? why didn't i notice? i know its there but why did i keep lying it around when i could have given it to others for use?

these thoughts raced up my mind until i finished bathing.

and what else do i have?..

there was a facial wash & a toner i brought before prescribed by my dermatologist which was ridiculously expensive & was not even emptied,it never get to reach halfway.

so i went out my bathroom to check other things in my room. and found a lot i never thought i'd still have.

what made me keep them, is the thought that these excessive stuff could still be useful to me in the future.

but i realized that to keep, only to forget in the end is as good as throwing it away. its better to give it for the use of others than to reach the expiration to waste.

Irresistible

2009-10-28T22:29:00.000-07:00

Despite the promise i made myself to wait for the subbed videos to come out (to contain the suspense) than to read the episode recap provided by java beans and watch it afterwards..

i failed.

But...! i love how events had turned out. MWAHAHAHA.!

in this episode, lofty Tae-Kyung was chased by a pig. hahaha. you don't often get to see that kind of expression. lol.

Oh my Gawd its a Pig!!

Pig: *SNORT* *SNORT* lol

i liked their conversation under the stars. both of them are surprisingly dense.

recap by javabeans:

The flashlight goes out and they stop to rest. Looking up at the sky, Mi-nyeo marvels at the stars. Tae-kyung gripes, “I can barely see you. Do you think I can see the stars?” But he can see the moon.

Mi-nyeo muses, “The only star you can see is the moon.” He corrects her: the moon isn’t a star. It only reflects light, but it doesn’t have its own light like the sun. She answers, “Even so, the moon has its uses. Rather than pointlessly brightening up an already bright day, it gives light on a dark night. Isn’t that useful?”

He corrects her again: “Go Mi-nam. The reason the day is bright is because of that pointlessly bright sun.” She thinks some more, maybe a teeny bit downcast now: “Then I’m like the moon that’s just clinging to you, who’s like the sun.”

In his unsentimental way, Tae-kyung says, “But the moon isn’t useless. No matter how many other stars there are at night, all I can see is the moon.”

Looking at him, Mi-nyeo says, “Hyungnim, right now I only see one special star.” But he doesn’t pick up on her real meaning; he just answers that there are a lot of stars in the sky. As tears pool in her eyes, Mi-nyeo continues, “There are a great many of them, but this one star sparkles so brightly that I keep only seeing that star.”

Now he’s the dense one: “There’s a star like that?” Mi-nyeo: “Yes. It’s a star that many people like. If I join the great number of people who like that star, it wouldn’t be a crime, would it?” (Okay, now she’s mixing her metaphors, but it’s sweet.)

Tae-kyung is still looking up at the sky, unaware that she’s growing more emotional: “Do you need permission to like those things? Ask the star. It should be able to see you right now.” As a tear falls, Mi-nyeo looks at him to say, “Yes. I’m looking at that star right now. Is it okay to like it?”

Oh i can't wait to watch episode 7.. :)

Something to look forward on Thursdays & Fridays

2009-10-27T20:30:00.000-07:00

After reading 2 episodes in Chonsa's blog, at allseouldout.blogspot.com, i have decided to check it out my self.

and now im hooked :3

Title : Your Beautiful
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Status: On going

Synopsis:

Our Heroine is a bright, clumsy,aspiring nun named Go Mi Nyeo who is bound to Rome to be a full-pledge nun.

On her way to claim her ticket to Rome, she was tailed by a strange man who proclaims to be the manager of his twin brother Go Min Nam.

pleading, the manager explains the circumstance faced by his brother who left for US due to health condition. The dilemma was, Mi Nam was scheduled for a contract signing to be a part of the most sensational band in Korea, A.N. JELL (pronounced as ey and Jell, ) as an additional vocalist. the reason why the manager was following her is to ask her to be Min Nam until Min Nam's return.

hesitant, Min Nyu recalls a scene with her twin brother way back from childhood in an orphanage where they grew up. his brother Min Nam swore that someday when he become a famous singer he will search for their mother. remembering this Mi Nyu thus ended up agreeing to the Manager's plea.

A.N. JELL with Min Nam/Min Nyu
1.) The self righteous stubborn leader Tae Kyung
2.) The sweet & sensitive Shin Woo
3.) The cheerful & child like personality Jeremy

In Mangas, this category would fall under what they call "Gender Bender" genre. where guys cross dress as/ pretend to be girls, vice-versa. In Dramas, this is the third time i get to watch another gender bender genre, after Coffee Prince and Hana Kimi (jap version)

The show is aired weekly on Wednesdays and Thursdays. thanks to the hard working subbers, (thank you subbers!) release of subbed videos is every thursday and friday of the same week (pretty quick!). kekeke. i've got something to look forward to every week. i am such a sucker for Romatic Comedy. come to think of it, my favorite dramas are mostly of Romantic Comedy genre.

&...

I have to post this picture. this was from yesterday's wedding of Tablo From Epik High ( one of the korean group i listen to for the sole purpose of music) and Kang Hye-Jung ( i don't know her actually)

Well it just. wowed me. this picture is simply breath taking.

Buzzed

2009-10-14T08:40:00.000-07:00

Wow, its my 3rd post of the day!! i am really fueled up to post lots am i?

You see im kind of sad tonight, must be the effect of alcohol consumed earlier this evening. me & my office mates had a little drinking spree before going home.man im buzzed.

Let me quote something i read from a manga entitled "yuuwaku no bansan" the one im reading at the moment.

"A man's love is like a sand in an hour glass. at first, love is overflowing, but in the end its always ends and all that left is just air"

Makes me think of my ex-boyfriend >.< ugh.

Needless spending

2009-10-13T21:56:00.000-07:00

For days, no months i have been incessantly spending money primarily on food and some unnecessary stuff (such as bags, clothes) when i swore i'd save up for Christmas in a few months time to buy gifts for my friends and family.

On food, like now, i bought a bag of corn chips & cookies, ate it right after eating lunch. tsk tsk.

or buying a sandwich and coffee when i had eaten rice for breakfast earlier that morning.

i should constantly be reminded of a comment by one of my boss that took place yesterday:

Boss: "Haru, your face seems to be getting bigger"

Me: "It's because im getting fat"

LOL! that should refrain me from spending on unnecessary food. as for bags & clothes. i should able to hold it in till xmas.

Ssangchu Couple

2009-10-13T19:29:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, i was lurking on Soompi forum in JoongBo's official thread. i have been a fan of them since watching We Got Married of February this year( We got married is a variety show in Korea where 2 artist are paired up as married couple) . so needless to say, yes, they are my favorite couple and i kind of miss those two together on tv (Hyun Joong's 4D-ness, & Hwang Bo's tomboy, cowboy personality= fun) . so i thought i should post picture of Hwang Bo but only able to post it today because i had a freaking terrible headache for almost the whole day yesterday.

Vamp.. Hye Jung.. :)

I like her photos most when photographed with kids, it just looks so serene, peaceful & compassionate

& of course, i couldn't resist to grab a few pictures of Hyun Joong showing his 4D-ness:

OMG Hyun Joong. Lol

eating banana while drinking beer. wow! i should try that some other time. LOL

i know, this pic doesn't concern his 4D-ness. what he was wearing just cracked me up. lol

Fed Up with Sims 3!!!

2009-10-11T04:29:00.000-07:00

Hell yeah I am!!!! so after i brought this game up only after a week of its release which was as far as my memory could trace was in Mid July, (correct me if i am wrong), it has so far given me nothing but string of disappointments since.

Initially, i was planning to use my laptop for the game, added an additional ram card to ensure a smooth gaming, installed it there, and boom!within a day, i already experienced a game problem~ *sigh*

Just right after the installation!!
every 5 minutes, the game freezes, & exits the game.

I was really pissed off, & couldn't understand why, because as far as i am concern, my laptop exceeds the requirements of the game.

So ok, im fine with it, because we also have a newly brought desktop computer. Playing there was alright, it worked out fine, even all in high settings, graphics, etc. not encountering any game lags, no technical problem but it was only short lived,-- only about a month.

Everytime i plan my any of the household's outfit, the game freezes and exits the game just like the similar problem when it was ran on my laptop (only the occurence in the laptop was every 5 min). so since then i just endured playing with it so that my money would not go to waste.

Don't know how to deal with it anymore. i reached like 4th generation already, i don't wanna start all over again. been wondering what may be the problem but my brother & a friend suggested that maybe there's a defect in the CD. Is it? but it functions fine. its running. could it be that the problem is my copy?. well i hope someone out there would help me address this problem. but for now, ill endure it for the time being, as there really isn't anything i can do.

Goodbye Good Stuff.

2009-10-03T05:51:00.000-07:00

My mom took out the chips from our pantry.

She threaten that from eating all of those my Urinary track would get infected again.

and that i should refrain from eating chips, cause i have been BLOATING up.
and the next time she shops for groceries, she won't buy any of those.

oh well...

I Hate Introductions >.<

2009-09-29T21:34:00.000-07:00

You know how they make you introduce in class full of unfamiliar faces in first day of school? or how your new teacher request everyone to say something about yourself so he or she could familiarize with the class one by one? I really..really.. hate that.

Im cool with stating my name, age, where i live and all that. but extracting other information like what kind of person you are, your likes, truly wracks my nerves.

I just don't know what to say. what i will say.

You know, if a person throws a sudden question at me to say something of who i am, i probably would just stare at them w/ my shoulders shrugging.

In my Social Networking profile accounts, i always leave the "about me section" blank or write something like "get to know me, or its for you to find out" but I guess describing myself would just be too complex & complicated for me.

It would take a lot of explanation, no matter how much i wanted to choose words that describes who i am. maybe my characteristic contradicts the other. i suck big time in introductions. maybe i don't know who i truly am.

Or maybe its just me who complicate things. lol NAH. I don't really want to know. :3

lol.

orrr.... im just ..probably.. having difficulty in conveying.

Nodame Cantabile, out in December!! gyaha~!!

Thoughts on Liberty & Independence

2009-09-28T20:53:00.000-07:00

ah. i really suck in writing. i don't know when i became like this but i used to love writing when i was in elementary and high school, after that i don't know what had happened. it was always like this,rather expressing my self in long detailed explanation i always opt to express in brief words. i feel that there is really so much to tell but the side of me who finds it hard to express, makes things harder everytime.

thoughts..thoughts..thoughts..........

I spend most of my time in front of computer of laptop squandering time on playing games and reading ton of mangas. seems like it has already been a couple of years since i felt the joy of living happily. you know the swell sensation in the heart from over flowing happiness as if it would burst. its been a while since i felt something real. whether its pain or sadness, its been a long while since i felt one. reading mangas bring me those kind of emotions. reallyy... i should get a life.

I have always wondered how my life would turn out if i start to make decisions on my own, to live on my own, without the supervision of my parents. my parents has always been so strict with us, with the curfew and everything even at this age. hell, im 21 years old, working but aren't allowed to be out of the house at night. rebelling is not an option either, we have to comply with my parents rules since i am still living under their roof. would it be better if i leave the house?.

My brothers and i grew up dependent on other people. i myself can't do my own laundry or worst clean my own room. i guess we, eversince i could remember were completely sheltered by my parents. i remember last night while having dinner my father was upset over how the things are in our household. he said we should learn how to be self sufficient since someday when its time for us to separate from them one can only rely on oneself when you start living on your own.

I guess at this stage i admit that im still irresponsible. that maybe, it would be hard to separate from the comfort of our home. i think too that my mom would find it difficult to let us go since she is so attached to us. my mom has no friends. apart from 1 close cousin she has, she doesn't have friends to go out with. her life revolves around us.

I have dreamt of living my life like a captain of its own boat but in reality, i haven't done any effort to change for the better.

I have a feeling that i am meant to start my life traveling abroad or living overseas. i feel, that if i stay here for the rest of my life, i will not grow as a person.

OH well.. i just have to keep on dreaming and hoping, wouldn't i? its not like its impossible to leave. so dream..hope..get the motivation to change for the better.

A photo to take the boredom away of seeing texts

Someday ill be out there to start out my life ..

Rather than getting strained from writing a post, this time around i feel refreshed. it's been a long time since i felt this way. no, its my first time feeling this way.

2NEI Goes Reggei

2009-09-04T20:33:00.000-07:00

2NE1 at Inkigayo on Aug 31 2009
This is the reggae version of 2NE1. what can i say.. i uber love it love it love it :)!!!

It's good that YG thought of presenting various version of the song to prevent public from exhaustion by hearing it over & over again.. this is the 3rd version, 2nd version is a remix.

its a combination of jazz/reggae type its cool!!! they did well :) an awesome performance, a shooting stage presence, even the girls are just sitting while singing w/o dancing like what they usually do, they consistently emit that powerful vibe that they posses when they dance on stage. CL, & Minzy sounded well, a proof that these girls are really flexible not only they can rap, they're voice is also suited for jazz/reggae. Bommie too did well..with a voice like hers :)!

with Dara. well her parts were sang like the original. nothing to be thrilled of in her performance.but since the 3 did well.. *shrugs* atleast she's looking classy in those outfit :)

All in all its a splendid performance *claps*

Plus, the girls playing sax, ~The whole Band, consist of Girls!! yeah~!

KHJ's glimpse of Pre-showbiz Life

2009-05-22T00:56:00.001-07:00

Ok, so im reposting this article which recently found in someone else's blog, find it here :

http://tsin3las.wordpress.com/2008/11/13/soju-spill-it-out/

MY COMMENT:

I was stunned, at KHJ's personal life. i guess not everyone who entered the industry had undergo a normal life before showbiz. he had experienced such a hard life back then.

not expected it would be him, of all the artists out there.

I was quite impressed on how he responded to the questions, after all, my initial impression of his family before discovering this was at least normal in a sense that his family belong in a middle class, able to sustain financial needs, or well, living comfortably the least. him running away from home is the last thing i would have think of.

Upon reading this, I can't help but to admire him more. The depth on his thoughts on fame and how he expressed the importance of his friends, i was surprised of how his answers turned out. It magnifies, how sensible person he really is.

And who would have thought that he had faced such serious hardships before entering the lime light?! HEH. pardon me for being so redundant. YES, i am that shocked.

So now, i am posting this article on my site, i'd like to keep a copy of it here so i could view it when desired.

From CHIJOONGJINDAM (In Vino Veritas) interview – Nov. 6, 2008
(these interviews are usually done late at night over soju for internet newspaper articles)
—
Part 1
—-
SS501’s leader Kim Hyunjoong ran panting into the pojangmacha (roadside stalls where they sell side dishes and alcohol), 30 minutes late and said “Can you smell the burnt tire?” before I could scold him. After performing at the Hallyu festival at Chamsil, the time Kim Hyunjoong came to the Kangnamgu Shinsadon pojangmacha was 11 PM.
“Olympic road had an accident so I came with the emergency lights on,” he said. And then he ordered seasoned butterfish as side dish, saying “I got to eat a few pieces of chicken in the waiting room but I’m really hungry.” He said, “Soju is getting less and less alcoholic so nowadays I can’t get drunk with even five bottles,” and smiled.

I didn’t have to worry that he would answer with single word answers or worry only about his image. This talk over alcohol with Kim Hyunjoong proved wrong the prejudices about idols.
Instead of the typical answers like “I love music and dancing,” he confessed “Initially, I really hated SS501.” And he said, “sometimes, I scold the fangirls waiting for me in front of the house.” He said, “I don’t want them to regret liking me when they become adults, so I nag them on purpose.” And Kim Hyunjoong stated, “Although I dropped out of High school, I wish that my fans would be able to attend university.”

——-

– Can you really drink five bottles of soju?
“Sometimes I drink more when I’m feeling well. (laughs) But nowadays, I’m unhappy that the soju has decreased to 19% alcohol. Since it’s gotten weaker, even women are able to drink 1-2 bottles without a problem. This must be a marketing strategy by the Soju company to increase the sales. I miss the days of Dukkubi Jinro Soju with 25% alcohol.

–When did you start drinking?
“In first year of High school (about grade 10), I worked at the TGI Friday and the sunbaes who worked there ate out together after work often. There’s a lot of stress in working in the service industry. The hyungs in their 30’s would say “Today, we’re the king,” and de-stressed with alcohol. I worked there for 1 1/2 years and I still keep in contact with a few of the hyungs often.

–If you worked in a restaurant with that appearance, you must have been famous.
“I didn’t know when I was working, but when I quit I found out that there were a few female fans. (laughs)”

–Did you have a lot of part time jobs?
“I delivered pizza, chicken and newspapers. I’ve worked in manual labor with daily wages. I lived a rougher life than I look. (laughs) I’ve never gotten allowances from my parents.”

-What kind of work do your parents do?
“They work at the Dongdaemoon Market. They have their days and nights reversed so I almost never get to see them. (laughs) I was a very problem child but now I want to treat them well.

-Where do you go to drink often?
“I live near Shinchun and they have an old style market with a bar that I go to often. I like chicken feet and pig head meat and skin side dishes.”

–You were casted in a drama. Will SS501 start individual work?

“Right. Following “We got married,” I am going to be on “Hana Yori Dango” and Jungmin will be on a musical called “Grease.” The other three will perform in a project group.

–In the drama, you’ll be the top 0.1% luxurious youth.
“I get to learn horse riding and violin, and also go to film overseas. I heard that I get to be on a private jet and I’m already anticipating it. I’ve been diligently getting skin massages too. (laugh) Jun Kisang PD keep trying to scare me by saying, “Hyunjoong. Working hard is not the same as doing well.”

-A lot of people remember you from “Can you get refills for love?” from debut times.
“The memory is somewhat embarrassing. (laughs) I was a newbie so I was on the show for two months to get people to know my face. I’m taking lessons for this drama and I want to break the prejudice that I’m a singer turned actor. I want to be able to hear, “I never knew such sides to Kim Hyunjoong existed.”

-What will you do if your acting becomes an issue.
“That shouldn’t happen but if it does, I’ll just take the criticism. I’m against people blindly complimenting me even if that person is a fan. If that person really cares about me, I think they should tell me things even if it’s painful. That way, I can improve. I’m really trying not to get bad reviews so I’m planning to take my acting teacher even when I go film overseas. (laughs) I’m even planning to pay for the teacher’s trip with my pay from the drama.”

——
For this drama, he has already filmed all the episodes for “We got married” for December. Following Alex and Shinae couple, the “Lettuce” couple will also leave the program at the end of the year. When asked “Is singing or acting more difficult?” Kim Hyunjoong answered, “they both require you to coordinate well so neither is easy. But acting is still a bit more unfamiliar.”

Part 2
—–
-Do you like the nickname that you’re “Fourth Dimensional?”
“I like it now but initially, I thought they meant that I’m like a “dol-I” (retard/crazy person) so I didn’t feel good. I’m interpreting it now as something like “having unique charms.” (laughs) In that way, I think everyone has some tendencies to be 4th dimensional.

–Do you have an actor or an actress you like? If you had to name just one?
“I like Yoo Haejin. I’ve probably watched “Tazza” about 12 times. He has a unique character of his own and acts so well.”

–What do you consider important in daily life?
“Say hello or goodbye. Not because it’s a form of respect but just to let the other person know that you know them. If you skip this, it’s easy to start small troubles. So I always tell people that I’m going home before leaving, no matter how drunk I am. I’m never gone with the wind. (laughs)”

-Who is a friend celebrity that you can call even at 2 AM?
“Hero Jaejoong and Micky Yoochun, and TOP. These three are the best friends. When we meet, we don’t let anyone else join us. (laughs) And the friends from Songpagu Chamshil who never left me for 23 years are also my family. Sukchon lake Shinchol eatery street was our stage. I hung out in such a small area that I the first time I had gone out of Seoul outside of my graduation trip was after I became a singer.

–I heard you invested in a chicken restaurant with your friends.
“It wasn’t an investment for profit. There are about 10 close friends that promised to be together for life and one of them opened a chicken restaurant. We promised each other that we’d support each other if one of us become successful. These are friends who know me better than my mom. We made a secret hideout in the room attached to the restaurant. We even put TV, sofa and blankets there.”

-What was the most embarrassing thing you had to do recently.
“I went to a nail care shop with a friend couple and it was really embarrassing. (laughs) I personally think that my life was “The time of unrefined person” (from political gang drama) but I found myself getting my nails done like from a girl comic so it was embarrassing. (laughs) I don’t think I can go there again.”

-If you could become invisible for one day?
“At one point, I wanted to visit the women’s bath house or go to the bank but I’ve changed my mind. What’s so good about going to the bank? They’ll still be able to see the money floating by. Instead of being invisible, I wish I could move really fast. I want to do the schedules quickly so I can get another hour of sleep.

-Is it exhausting to live as an idol star in Korea?
“Everyone’s different but I’m fairly free. I tend to not worry about what my fans think too much. Sometimes there are fans pacing in front of our dorm really late at night and I scold them and send them home. I don’t want them to regret having liked me when they become adults so I intentionally treat them coldly. Of course, I’m thankful that they’re my fans. My dream is to rent a small stage when I’m in my 40-50’s and to perform for fans who have become parents. And to go have soju with them after the performance or to do charity events. Just thinking about it makes me happy.”

–Do you ever regret having dropped out?
“There wasn’t much I could do with just a middle school diploma. Wherever I went, the term “drop out” followed me. I realized that Korea is not a country based on abilities when I was seventeen. I think there’s still a far way to go to become a developed nation.”

-If you could go back to the Chamshil middle school days, what would you do?
“I think I would participate more with the school band “Aksus” (means to scream). When I was fourteen, I went to Nakwon stores to buy base guitar with 70 000 won (about 70 dollars) for the first time. It was actually 80 000 won but the owner saw my stack of 1000 won (~ $1) bills and gave me 10 000 discount.

-Were there no support from your parents?
“At the time, if you wanted to formally learn music with lessons, it cost about 3 000 000 won (~$3000) a month. My dad was having a hard time with his business so I couldn’t ask him for money. There were times that I despaired that “music is really money.” I remember practicing 8 hours a day until the speakers from the computer broke.

-What do you think you would be doing if you weren’t a singer?
“I don’t think I can be a salary man so I think I would have part time jobs. I don’t think it’s necessary to have formal work if you live for your own enjoyment. I think the people who work in firms despite complaining do that because they value money more. In a way, you trade time for money. Happiness doesn’t come out of a bank account. Once, I made 100 000 000 won (almost 100 grand) but currently, the balance in my account is 2 600 won. (~ $26 ) But I still don’t think I need anything.

-Really?
“Why would I lie? There was a time I had part time jobs and sold things and made 100 000 000 won. The way to make money? It’s simple. You just have to not spend it. There were times when I worried over 100 won. But now, I eat the meat I like and spend more but whenever I see my friends, it’s still Dutch pay.

Part 3
—-
-What’s the most valuable thing?
“My friends. Even if I become penniless, my friends will help me until I can stand on my own. Beautiful women are transient memories but friends are eternal.

-What kind of a son are you?
“I’m a cold son who doesn’t talk much. I can never say “thank you” or “I love you.” There were times when I got into gang fights and my parents had to get me from the police station. The settlement fee cost them several 10 000 000 won. I really want to do well for my mother who was treated like a criminal because of me. I want to repay them for all the bad things I’ve done. I have one older brother who is currently in them military and he used to do quite well in school.

-You get attention wherever you go. How is your satisfaction level?
“Popularity? It’s not worth anything. They say I look good and cool now but someday, it’ll all leave me. I’m really nothing and it’s just a brief moment of spotlight.”

-What’s the scariest thing in your life?
“The people. Especially, the people who badmouth people behind their backs are the scariest. I don’t want people to be hurt because of me but I don’t want to be hurt either. “

-In your opinion, what kind of a person is Kim Hyunjoong?
“Someone who tries to have a humane feel to him. Last year, I wanted to go to TaeAn to clean the rocks but I couldn’t go because I didn’t want people to say I was just doing it for my own image. I want to be someone who can act and say what I want without worrying about what others say. There are people who even donate their kidneys and I always feel regretful that I seem to live my life without doing any good deeds.”

-Is there a reason you came to love comics?
“After I dropped out and ran away from home, I lived with friends for almost one year. But when that was impossible, the best place to go was a comic shop that cost 1400 won per hour. There were also times I rode the subway at Ddooksum station without a ticket and had to pay 30 times the fee. And other times I got caught but I just ran away. I’d like to apologies to the metro association workers.”

-Why didn’t you go home?
“I couldn’t because of my pride. (laughs) One time, I had no money but I was so hungry, I ordered 8 servings of ddukbokki and sausages and fries and ate it and ran away. I ran whole 2 km and felt so sad that I almost cried. I told myself, “I’m never going to forget this day.” I’d like to apologize to the Shinrimdong fast-food restaurant owner as well.”

-How did you come to have your debut?
“I got scouted when I was working at TGI but it turned out to be a fraudulent company. They made me work really hard and told me it was a Hallyu project and then tried to sell me to China. It was supposed to be a 5 member group at that time as well and I almost ended up in China for just 5 000 000 won (~ $5000) contract fee. After that, someone introduced me to DSP and I became a trainee and trained really hard for 1 1/2 years. The CEO is famous for being scary but to me, he feels like a father.”

At the question whether Kim Hyunjoong would re-sign a contract with them, he stated that “Unless the agency kicks me out, I want to stay at DSP.”

-Did you learn dancing from he beginning?
“There is a bit of story to that. At the beginning, they were going to make me a band but somewhere along the way, they changed and told me to learn to dance. I was disappointed but when I saw the 8000 people in the fan club, I thought “This must be my path in life.” For the fans, I decided to leave the guitar for a bit and learn to dance.”

He has two cell phones. One of them has an image of the fans cheering with balloons. The first saved number is his home. The rest is empty. He said he likes to memorize numbers so he remembers the phone numbers of 30 of his friends.

-People must be sad when you stop “We Got Married” next month.
“I felt happy filming “We Got Married.” Even the Dongdaemoon intestines restaurant ladies call me “Kid groom” and specially give me the side dishes for employees. I can feel the increased popularity.

-What kind of a woman are you attracted to in real life?
“I like a woman who seem like a real genuine human. Rather than someone who does what I want, I want someone like a friend who will put her arms around my shoulders when I’m drunk. I want to get married around thirty and I want to be a good father and a good husband.”

-The last question. What do you want on your tombstone when you die?
“I hadn’t thought about it. (thinks about it for a while) I think I’d like a cozy picture of my family engraved on it instead of words. I think that would be more valuable and happy than a hundred phrases.”
