Re-post with full credits.







All Aces
Manga, musicals, makeup-superstar (and former Sparkling cover guy) Kim Hyun Joong gives us a quick chant and lets us in on whats on this lucky guy’s radar at the moment.

Sparkling Magazine:  Nice to see you again! Please tell us about your second mini-album Lucky.
KHJ:  Hello! Unlike my last album, which is more the heavier type, the Lucky album is lighter and can be enjoyed with a lot of fans at the same time. It’s easygoing.
Sparkling Magazine:  So how do you feel about your mini-album making it to the Top 5 of the Billboard World Album Charts? And what was the first thing you said when you found out?
KHJ:  The first thing I said was :Unbelievable”. I didn’t expect anything much, but I put as much effort as I could into this album and  I’m planning to have better ones.
Sparkling Magazine:  Why did you pick Ocean’s Eleven as the inspiration for the MV of “Lucky Guy?” Who thought of the concept?
KHJ:  I did. The reason I chose this was that I wanted to act as a brat! Haha!
Sparkling Magazine:  Great strategy! Also, your current album has more rock ‘n’ roll influences than the last one. Would you consider playing the guitar or bass guitar live at one of your future stage performances?
KHJ:  I’m planning to have those instruments played during my stages, but my concept cue sheets aren’t really ready yet, so nothing is really concrete. But I would definitely like to play those instruments.
Sparkling Magazine:   Your dance steps feel like they could be part of a musical. Would you consider starring in a musical in the near future as well?
KHJ:  There are no plans of joining the musical yet, being an actor and singer at the same time, I’m really busy. And I’m not really confident in that field!
Sparkling Magazine:  You’ve said in the past interviews that you want to play a bad guy for your next role. Who are your favorite bad guy characters?
KHJ:  Because there are so many characters out there, it’s really hard to set the standard of “bad guys.” I will try to set the standard of being my own “bad guy.”
Sparkling Magazine:  As an actor and singer, you often gave to wear makeup while filming and promoting. Have you ever tried applying makeup on your own?
KHJ:  Never.
Sparkling Magazine:  What product from The Face Shop would you recommend as a good gift for friends?
KHJ:  Because most of my friends are guys, I would like to recommend the guys, I would like to recommend the E’Thym products because they’re really simple, yet maintain moisturizing effect.
Sparkling Magazine:  We heard you like soju a lot too. Do you also like sake? Do you use The Face Shop’s Sake Nourishing Lotion?
KHJ:  I haven’t used the Sake Nourishing Lotion yet because there are so many products from The Face Shop! But I definitely take sake… occasionally. Haha
Sparkling Magazine:  So how has your skincare routine changed, now that the weather is much colder?
KHJ:  Now that the weather’s colder my skin and lips are getting cracked. I apply lot of moisturinzing creams and lip balms.
Sparkling Magazine:  Do you enjoy winter sports, like snowboarding and skiing?
KHJ:  I don’t really like winter sports, so I stay at home most times during winter.
Sparkling Magazine:  The weather is warm in the Philippines. What The Face Shop product would you recommend to your Filipino fans?
KHJ:  Because it’s really hot in the Philippines and a lot of people are exposed to the sun, I recommend sun protection and sun block, and the BB Creams that contain it.
Sparkling Magazine:  What product from The Face Shop do you always keep in your bag?
KHJ:  BB Cream and sun creams.
Sparkling Magazine:  Who is your favorite superhero?
KHJ:  I don’t have one.
Sparkling Magazine:  You like reading manga a lot. What manga title are you reading now? Are there plans to come up with a U:Zoosin manga?
KHJ:  Currently on the websites of my management team, there are the cartoons available using the character U:Zoosin. The fans can read this, although it’s in Korean.
Sparkling Magazine:  Do you have any lucky charms? What’s your lucky number?
KHJ:  I don’t have any lucky charms and there isn’t exactly any lucky number.
Sparkling Magazine:  What makes Kim Hyun Joong a lucky guy?
KHJ:  There’s nothing that makes me lucky; I’m lucky myself.

credit: aprilstarr @emprezz.com

Dictionary.com gives the following  definitions

-Verb :to change in condition ,nature or character,convert
-Noun : result of transformation
-synonyms : convert,change transfigure
Let us see how Kim Hyun Joong has done his transformations in his latest music images

The pictures   from his music albums and performance show the singer-actor Kim Hyun Joong s’ transformations from the South Urban macho guy in Breakdown  to sweet,loving (and cute he said) guy in Kiss,Kiss   to  forlorn lover of Please. Now the latest transformation is that of a  gambler guy -whew! -that is a lot of image conversions that went beyond makeup or getup .
It is  all about attitude .The attitude to look the part .
Attitude influence how a person  view the world and in turn make the  world view that person . It is more than skin deep . It was meant to persuade, for us to believe , for us to  be affected emotionally .
It is all about projection -of the character . A character that Kim Hyun Joong wants the public to see . So that the song is more convincing .It puts the listener in  the mood, the ambiance has exerted its exotic appeal ,the entire experience is seductive .
Do you really need a another drama with Kim Hyun Joong in it ? His music album contain  short synopsis of dramas . Every song is a compressed story, his singing its dialogues ,his dance is its actions .
When somebody talks about his Breakdown album ,what visuals are you seeing?Can you imagine him walk with a swagger, a smugness , the right to stand there to prove something or defend something ? Can you hear the song in your head as well ?
If you hear him sing Kiss, Kiss are you getting his image in a light mood as loving and as gentle as can be ?
Does Please remind you of something dark, sad, discomforting love story?
In Lucky, though it is quite early, do you think perhaps we can  see this  guy singing amidst the vices inside a gambling arena ?
How do you react with these transformations ? Are you convinced ? Can you connect ?

Kim hyun joong chain of success

repost from hyunniespexers




Kim Hyun Joong singer, dancer, actor had already created a chain of success for he has been attaining since he performed his come back stage to debut his first mini album Breakdown as solo artist in June 2011, which made it to the top rank in the international Billboard. Followed by his second album Lucky Guy in October of the same year with the same success.

Recently Hyun Joong debuted his album Japanese version of Kiss Kiss and Lucky Guy which also made it to rank second in the Oricon Music Daily chart which made history, as the first foreign artist who had ever sold more than 70,000 copies on its debut. Hyun Joong’s album had sold more than 100,000 copies on his first week and had maintained his rank No.2 at the Oricom Daily Music Chart.




Hyun Joong’s success is just so overwhelming, as he mentioned in his recent interview, that he wasn’t expecting this much success! The luckiest Lucky guy who ever ventured as soloist artist as first timer is on his way to be a top star, or apparently it seems he’s already there! The media in Japan has been at his tail since his arrival and still on the go everywhere Hyun Joong is. He simply rock Japan being the most popular Korean Artist in the present time.




From midyear of 2011 as he debuted his first album Breakdown, everyone was taken by his big surprise to be out there like a new star out of nowhere in a total image transformation. Hyun Joong’s album had always been seen on top rank in any music count down. Followed by his second album Lucky Guy which gained the same recognition. By the end of the year 2011, Hyun Joong harvested the fruits of his hard labor and took home eight trophies as Best Solo Male Artist from prestigious music awards, a significant evidence enough to solidify his new status as solo artist.





By the beginning of the year 2012, Hyun Joong held his first fan meeting in Seoul, as a solo artist attended by some 6,000 fans and performed a memorable successful show. Hyun Joong flew to Japan on Lunar New Year’s day, the day after his fan meeting, without being aware that another success was waiting for him in Japan, as he debuted his Japanese album with a tremendous unexpected success.





As I monitored Hyun Joong’s activities last year, it seems that anything he holds in his hand, anything he works on, turned to success. And I would say, even the simple Christmas present he gave to his fans on December 15 last year, if you remember the digital single Marry Me which Hyun Joong meant to give his fans also rank top no.1! The music was not meant for sale nor for any competition, but Hyun Joong’s fans showed their appreciation to his Christmas present by pushing the music to the top no.1 rank in several on line real time music chart such as Bugs, Mnet, and Soribada.

Apparently the chain of success did not end from there, because Hyun Joong received the last trophy from 2011 as he was awarded recently, by All Kpop Award for the Best Solo Male Artist for 2011. Hyun Joong is currently in Japan promoting his Japanese album and had been busy with TV appearances and fan autograph signing schedules.





There’s another thing that caught my attention in the whole Kim Hyun Joong scenario. One of Hyun Joong’s fans who came all the way to Seoul Korea to attend Hyun Joong’s fan meeting and had taken photos of different Kim Hyun Joong merchandise for sale that can be found at malls in Seoul.

The merchandise was said to be with good quality goods such as cellphone casing, note pads, key chains, bags ect. These merchandise has Hyun Joong’s picture or the Uzoosin, as we all know it’s Hyun Joong signature character, and it was said that these merchandise were very salable. Not to mention other original merchandise being sold by KeyEast during Hyun Joong’s fan meeting, like the Uzoosin luminous stick and others. I think the popularity of Kim Hyun Joong lead to other sort of business which apparently showed success in sales too!!

Kim Hyun Joong made an excellent start of the year 2012, I’m pretty excited to watch over him further as to what is in store for everyone coming from Hyun Joong. Whatever it may be, monitoring his every activity and talking about it, brings me something to smile about and happily proud to follow him as Hyun Joong gather his chain of success…
