News of the “Boy’s Over Flowers” star Kim Hyu Joong’s appearance at the Trinoma activity center, had fans storming the venue as early as 5 am. Event host The Blade was the one to tell me what happened as soon as we arrived from his residence at EDSA Shangri-La Hotel. Everyone was tense from the moment he entered the Audi A8 with ease for the drive to the mall.

We were by the entrance, a steel door leading to center stage. I went in ahead of him along with the extra dozen security personnel. KHJ’s countenance changed as we all heard the thousands of screaming fans on the other side of the wall. KHJ did not sing or perform a few select fans about 500 of them had the chance to “high five” or (‘appear’ to us Pinoys). Several fans could not help themselves as they hugged and tried to kiss him in spite of the explicit instruction not to.

Everyone seemed to be happy with it. The fans were more than thrilled just to be near the guy. As we scanned the area, each of the floors above surrounding floors had fans rammed ad craning their necks just to see him. He did promise to come back when his Asian tour comes around as a solo performer (having separated from his original band SS501).

Steel barricades were needed to keep fans at bay. This was when Kim Hyun Joong promoted his first solo album “Break Down” distributed locally by Polyeast Records at the “High five event”. Photo was taken at the Trinoma Activity Center August 25, 2011. Photo by Jude Bautista.
