SS501‘s Kim Hyun Joong revealed that he will be making a comeback as an actor at the end of next year.

Kim Hyun Joong held a press conference for the release of his 2nd mini-album "Lucky", where he explained, “Since I released a new album only four months after my last album, there may be some people who feel that it came out too soon. However, I wanted to show off as much as I could during the Asia or perhaps world tour that I’ll hold next year, so that’s the reason I’m releasing my 2nd mini album.”

He continued, “In the beginning of November, there’ll be a new digital single, and in January of next year, I will release another album.”

Kim Hyun Joong also talked about his acting plans as well. “I don’t think I can be a singer and an actor at the same time… When I’m a singer, I want the fans to see me as a singer… The Asia tour will end next June, then right after that I’ll start acting. Later on in the year, I’ll come back to the fans through a drama.” He added, “If I rest for too long, I become lazy… I’m also slowly starting to think about doing movies as well.”

After his appearances in popular dramas like KBS‘s ‘Boys over Flowers‘ andMBC‘s ‘Playful Kiss‘, many are interested in Hyun Joong’s return as an actor. #

[FEATURE] Kim Hyun Joong shares his skin care secret to Filipino Men

Who wouldn't envy Kim Hyun Joong's smooth, silky-looking skin? During his recent visit to Manila, the Korean TV and music sensation revealed his grooming secret to the public and encouraged Filipino men to use skin care products more often.

Despite the growing health and wellness trend in the country these days, most Filipino men still seem averse to the idea of using beauty products on their skin.

Unless there's a special reason or occasion to look good, most men do little or nothing at all to take care of their skin.

Because of their lack of 'skin sense,' it's not surprising how men tend to look older than their actual age

At the press conference of The Face Shop at the Rockwell Club in Makati last August 26, one guy proved that a little vanity can do a man a lot of good.

He's none other than Korean superstar Kim Hyun Joong, a self-confressed moisturizer junkie and an actual patron of the Asian beauty brand.

There was no need to explain why he was chosen as the brand's endorser. His flawlessly fair and healthy-looking skin is a clear testament to his religious use of beauty products.

His love for hydrating creams stems from the fact that his skin tends to get dry given South Korea's extreme weather conditions, whether it be summer or winter. The rigors of a hectic showbiz career, including stress and lack of sleep, also cause skin dehydration.

The Boys Over Flowers and Playful Kiss star says his best skin care ally is a light moisturizer and swears by a product line called E'thym.

It consists of cleansing foam, toner, body lotion, firming essence and a light moisturizing face cream, which he uses all the time.

Compared to thick moisturizers, light creams leave a clean and non-oily texture on the skin's surface, but work just as well.

Light creams are also usually clear or light-colored and are absorbed faster because of their high water content.

If it works for the Korean superstar, this 'no-frills, no fuss' regimen could very well be the perfect skin care solution for men who want to take that big first step towards younger-looking skin at any age.#

[FEATURE] K-Pop Star Kim Hyun Joong Reveals His Beauty Picks

Learn the skin care products he uses and what scent he likes on a woman, among other beauty essentials that would bring you closer to the Korean heartthrob.

~~~

Korean pop star Kim Hyun Joong is not only loved for his music (as the former lead singer of SS501 and now solo artist) and his roles in popular Korean series Boys Over Flowers and Playful Kiss, but also for his gorgeous looks and that flawless skin you can't help but envy! His secret? The 25-year-old star swears by The Face Shop products, which he has been representing for a year now.

Just the day after the very successful launch of his album "Break Down" here in Manila, Kim Hyun Joong faced members of the beauty press at the Palm Grove, Rockwell Club last August 26 for his press conference as The Face Shop brand ambassador. This visit is part of his endorser duties, which includes visiting the 22 countries where The Face Shop has branches. Lucky for his Filipino fans, the Philippines is part of his Asian tour.

Kim Hyun Joong's Beauty Picks

Naturally, the beauty press wanted to know what his "beauty secret" is, and he said that he simply eats what he wants and gets plenty of sleep. He also uses The Face Shop products, naturally. "I can't tell you my favorite Face Shop product because I use a lot," said Kim Hyun Joong through a Korean interpreter. "If ever there's one, it would be E'thym moisturizer." Trivia: E'thym is a play on the phrase "eh-deh-da," which means baby-faced and youthful looking. It's The Face Shop's overseas flagship moisturizing line for summer 2011.

Kim Hyun Joong says he also uses The Face Shop BB Cream with SPF--especially the Power Perfection BB Cream--which he finds easy to apply and gives long-lasting, oil-free protection. He recommends this to his Filipina fans, too, especially when they're traveling with their man. He emphasized the importance of using sunblock and moisturizer—even for men—especially in a tropical country like ours. He believes it's time men cared for their skin, too.

However, if you'd like to know what makeup look he likes seeing on women, Hyun Joong would say it doesn't really matter to him. "I don't judge [a person] based on looks. I go more for inner beauty. I value personality more over appearance."

Cosmo.ph did get to ask Kim Hyun Joong what his favorite scent on a woman is, and the Korean heartthrob responded with a smile: "The scent of coconut oil." He first had a whiff of it when he got a massage in Cebu on his last visit, last year. (Event host Grace Lee remarked, "What a lucky masseuse--whoever she was!")

Hyun Joong's Heart Of Gold

A heartwarming moment at his The Face Shop presscon happened when Kim Hyun Joong met the highest bidder for the auction of an outfit he wore at an event. The P100,000 proceeds were donated to the women of Abiertas, one of the charities in the Philippines that the Korean star supports. The highest bidder was the daughter of an old lady who proved to be his biggest fan in the Philippines.

"I've been to the Philippines before, but this trip is a little more special for me because of the chance to work for our unfortunate sisters," Kim Hyun Joong said when presenting the check to the foundation. "Thank you, and don't forget [to keep] the warmth in your hearts."

Here's a feature of Hyun Joong at Cosmo.ph...Waa, it took me a long time to upload all the pics because of my really slow connection...And I made sure to include all the captions too :)... I love all the close-up shots...How I wish I can see him up-close like this in the future... A fan girl friend of mine said she realized she should have pursued her passion for journalism when she was in college and would gladly give up her corporate life just to interview Hyun Joong. I feel the same way too, sometimes. :)...And I'm looking forward to Hyun Joong's next visit here in Manila. Maybe, just maybe, I'll get to have my own close encounter with KHJ. :)

Armed with talent, flawless looks, and a heart of gold, there's nowhere but up for Korean pop star and heartthrob Kim Hyun Joong, who continues to win hearts the world over. He's famous for being the leader of Korean idol group SS501, but his career (and his universal charm) really skyrocketed after playing the role of Yoon Ji Hoo in the hit K-soap Boys Over Flowers. He also played Baek Seung Jo in his recent drama Playful Kiss, which was also a huge hit.

It's been one year and two months since his Manila fans first swooned over the star in the flesh. (He last visited for a sold-out concert where he raised and donated funds to benefit the Abiertas House of Friendship, a center for unwed pregnant mothers.) To our delight, the 25-year-old hottie graced Manila shores once again last August 25 to promote his first solo mini-album "Break Down." We caught up with him at a press conference at EDSA Shangri-La Hotel, and on the same day, he launched his album via a "High-Five Touch" event at the TriNoma Activity Center in Quezon City.

The album launch was a huge success. Even before the mall opened, kilig fans were lined up outside--waiting to get their copy of "Break Down" and meet the Kim Hyun Joong, of course! The first 500 who purchased the CD even got to exchange high-fives with the cutie!

"Break Down" marks Kim Hyun Joong's comeback to the music scene, this time as a solo artist. The album is a mix of musical genres, from heavy urban dance tracks to strong R&B and even bubble gum pop. For his solo debut, he shed his pretty-boy charm for a more mature, masculine one. He told us he has plans to do an Asia concert tour that will include Manila as a pit stop! We'll be looking forward to that, for sure!

At the press conference, he told his fans, "Thank you for all the love you have toward me. It inspires me to bring up better songs and better performances." Proving to be a huge hit in Asia and beyond, Kim Hyun Joong is shining brighter than ever as an international star.

Launch the gallery to see photos of the gorgeous Kim Hyun Joong from his press conference!

Kim Hyun Joong's solo mini-album "Break Down" is available in all record bars nationwide, exclusively distributed by PolyEast Records in cooperation with KeyEast Entertainment and CJ E&M Korea.

Kim Hyun Joong arrives at EDSA Shangri-La Hotel for his press conference and album launch.

Kim Hyun Joong sits down to answer a few questions from the press gathered at the event.

K-drama fans best know him as Yoon Ji Hoo--his role in the popular 2009 romantic comedy series Boys Over Flowers.

You've seen him most recently in the new series Playful Kiss, where he plays a popular and genius male student named Baek Seung Jo.

Kim Hyun Joong gives his Filipino fans a heart-melting smile.

With looks like that, it's easy to see why this boy is an international hit.

He began his music career as the leader of the boy band SS501 back in 2005.

The name of the band has a special meaning: The first "S" stands for "Superstar." The second is an abbreviation for "Singer." The combination of 5, 0, and 1 symbolizes "five members united as one forever."

The band's first full album was called S.T.01 Now, followed by a second album All My Love, and most recently, a series of mini-albums.

The boys of SS501, however, are now focusing on doing their own thing. Kim Hyun Joong, for instance, is launching his debut solo album "Break Down."

Kim Hyun Joong had just completed his South Korea and U.S. tour a few months earlier, before embarking on an Asian tour to promote his solo project.

With that smile and undeniable charisma, it's no wonder this Korean star drew over a thousand Filipino fans to his album launch!

Kim Hyun Joong revealed at the press conference that the release of this album marks his growth as a musician

He said that doing this project as a solo performer opens a lot of new doors for him.

Earlier this year, "Break Down" was released in neighboring Asian countries like China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia. The reception was impressive!

Kim Hyun Joong's album has six tracks and one instrumental version of the title track "Break Down."

He revealed that the title track is his personal favorite.

"Break Down" is a powerful synthesized song with an urban style, which features a stylish rapping by South Korea's Double K.

The song was actually produced by Ken Lewis (the same producer behind the hits of Eminem, Kanye West, and Usher!).

Other album highlights include "Intro (Let Me Go)," which opens with a pipe organ melody and the upbeat tune "Yes I Will."

He believes his album shows a different and more mature side of him, compared to his SS501 days.

He moved from the synthesizer instrumentals, heavy beats, and bubblegum pop to more artistic musical freedom. He has created mature yet catchy sounds.

He told us, "This is a very personal project because I was hands-on in producing this record. I was involved in all the processes of the album, from the lyrics to the jacket design."

The album is currently getting attention for the track "Kiss Kiss," which is heating up the airwaves.

"Kiss Kiss" is a pop/dance song accompanied by an acoustic guitar. The song's music video is now on MYX top charts.

The album also features a previously released single "Please." It still proves to be a hit!

He expressed that one of his biggest dreams would be to do a free concert--for charity!

Even his fans in Manila inspire him. He shared that he was both "shocked" and "amazed" by the warm welcome he received from the moment he arrived in the Philippines.

He says he hopes to include the Philippines in his plans for an upcoming Asia tour.

Young gals and older ladies alike were seen sporting Kim Hyun Joong fan gear! Many of them admitted to being fans since his Boys Over Flowers days. He peered in amusement at the turn-out.

"Thank you," he said, "for all the love you're [giving] me. It inspires me to bring up better songs and better performances."

Kim stood up for a short photo-op before the program ended.

Don't worry, fan girls, we can definitely look forward to seeing more of Kim Hyun Joong (even sooner than you think, in Cosmo.ph)!

He revealed that when he finishes the Asian concert tour, he'll be back on your screens, possibly for a new TV series and a movie.

Kim Hyun Joong waves goodbye to the crowd gathered at his album launch. It was truly a pleasure to see and chat with this hot Korean star.

"We love Hyun Joong!" his fans declared.

[FAN ACCOUNT] Face to face with Kim Hyun Joong

Here's another fan account on Hyun Joong's visit here in Manila 2 weeks ago...Waa, I ought to start writing mine. It's been a while, yet I still have KHJ hangover. :) Posted by: HAUTE MOMMA By Keri Zamora (The Philippine Star)

September 04, 2011

It all started with Boys Over Flowers, where I fell in love with the second male lead character Ji Hoo, played by Korean singer/actor Kim Hyun Joong. Then I discovered, apart from acting, he was in fact the “leader” of popular Korean boy band SS501. I became an instant fan.

I flew to Yokohama for a Boys Over Flowers two-day fan event, an SS501 concert in Shanghai, and went on a drama tour in Seoul. I thought that having seen him live in those events would be enough.

Fast forward to 2011. I’ve grown to love other Korean dramas and tried my darnedest to get over watching Boys Over Flowers and listening to SS501 songs over and over again.

You can imagine my thrill when I got a text from my editor that Kim Hyun Joong was coming to Manila for Face Shop’s Asia tour and to launch his new solo mini album “Breakdown” — and she wanted me to cover the event! 
I was numb for a few minutes, then I screamed and screamed again. I had a couple of weeks to prepare my questions and, more importantly, my outfit.
D-day arrived, and we are at the Rockwell Club on a Friday afternoon. Lunch was served to an intimate group of lifestyle writers, mostly women.
Our On The Radar group of three was called to a room for a briefing with Kim Hyun Joong’s handler and interpreter. Just as we were wrapping up, we noticed the Bench family (who owns the Face Shop franchise in the Philippines) going up the stairs to meet the Korean star. After a few minutes, they came down again, followed by security, entourage and the golden boy of Korean pop in the flesh!

He scanned the room briefly while walking slowly, following the entourage. That was our cue to go back to the function room.

As we entered, women stifled some screams. I held my breath as he passed in front of me; I couldn’t help but notice his amazing skin. He was flawless! Some say Korean skin care starts in the womb.

Kim Hyun Joong with the best-selling Face Shop Power of Perfection BB Cream

As a cosmetics junkie, I know that Face Shop rocks! My personal favorites are the dual eye crayons and concealers.
During the press conference hosted by Filipino-Korean radio/TV personality Grace Lee, Kim Hyun Joong said he was delighted to be back in the Philippines.
Manila was his last stop on the Face Shop Asia Tour, which also took him to Vietnam, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.
He recalled the warm welcome received during his last visit, where he generously donated P1 million to the Abiertas House of Friendship — a non-government organization that provides temporary refuge to needy women.
Asked about his favorite scent, he mentioned the scent of coconut oil during a massage he had in Cebu. Which led us women to wonder — and as Grace Lee joked in Filipino —who was the lucky masseuse?
To raise more funds for the Abiertas House of Friendship, a pair of the star’s cropped pants was auctioned off to fans and customers of Face Shop. I recognized the Adidas sweats as what he usually wears during rehearsals.

Meeting of two idols: Kim Hyun Joong and Suyen Corporation chairman Ben Chan.

Starting from a bid of P10,000, the pants were sold to the highest bidder at P100,000!

Grace Lee introduced the auction winners as Maru Ragasa and her mother Pat, who is one of Kim Hyun Joong’s biggest fans. It was quite a touching scene when Kim Hyun Joong approached the 74-year-old Pat and gave her a hug.

In addition to the P100,000 earned from the auction, the Bench family donated P500,000 to the organization.

After the press conference we were called for a one-on-one interview in a separate room. It is a miracle that I was able to ask my questions in front of security, entourage, an interpreter and Kim Hyun Joong himself right in front of me!

ON THE RADAR: You wore very fashionable clothes in Boys Over Flowers. Does Ji Hoo’s style appeal to you? What is your personal style?
KIM HYUN JOONG: Jihoo wore a lot of white. Right now I prefer dark colors.
Who cuts your hair and how often do you change your hairstyle/look?
I have a style coordinator who helps style my hair and I consult him when I feel like changing it.
What is your favorite Face Shop product and what makes the brand stand out from the competition?
I like Face Shop’s BB Cream. I find that Face Shop products are basic and very effective.
You excel in acting, soccer, singing, and dancing. Is there anything else you would like to achieve?
Those four are what I really like to do. I also have not much time for more activities.
If a friend were to visit Seoul, what are the must-see places?
I prefer Jeju Island instead of Seoul.
What can we expect from you for the rest of 2011? Any new projects we can look forward to?
I have a new album, and I have another event in Japan, as well as plans for another tour by the end of the year.

[Fan Blog] [KHJ] It’s more than just looks, talent or ability.

Waa, I'm such a cry baby. I actually cried while reading this blog post. For me, it showed a different side of Hyun Joong that I feel I've caught a glimpse of during his 2 days here in Manila... There's something amazing about how he manages to keep that smile while giving a high five to every fan or signing autographs for everyone... I guess it's because he has always been sincere to his fans and have always returned that love so graciously...I wish to see more of the Hyun Joong described here... the person who's not a star...but who's real. Enjoy reading! :)

Posted by wonderrrgirl on September 3, 2011

I’m really late in watching this, because like I’ve said I have stopped watching videos with Kim Hyun Joong a long time ago, and it takes a while to catch up now.

I love this so much, love this, because it is such a good reminder of everything, and it makes me feel like we’ve indeed watched how he grew all these years, from a carefree young teenager back during M!Pick days, and as he climbed his way up and experienced incredible amount of attention and limelight because of his role in the successful Boys Over Flowers Korean drama, I always felt that he seemed to have realized that fame is such a double-edge sword, it brings you all the way up, and kills a bit of you inside along the way. Fame for one, has killed some bits of the old him, made him more cautious with his words, more wary of people around him, and led him to see more faces of the people around him and the industry that he is in. For such a long time honestly, I truly do not like the Kim Hyun Joong he has become after he became more famous and popular, with everybody wanting a piece of him.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I am unhappy. I was proud and glad to see him doing so well, like he fully deserves to. But a part of me knows that I miss and will always miss the Kim Hyun Joong back in those days when he could do funny dances with his butt, and sprout out a bunch of nonsense and show certain cute (and sometimes unmanly) sides of him on TV – this is after all the Kim Hyun Joong that made me laugh so much, and it’s also the reason why I found my way to become a fan of this man who has this irresistible charm and smile. He was never someone I found handsome in that way – but he is always such a lovely person to look at, because just looking at him reminds me of a kind of light that will shine brightly forever and ever.

So for a long time I always struggled. On one hand I don’t like seeing him saying politically correct answers and looking so tensed and tired in his interviews and appearances. On the other hand, he is doing so well that it is impossible not to be happy and proud of him. At times I also wonder how he feels about his path; does he still like it just as much? How does he feel about the fans who have stuck by him all these while, and the fans who left him?

Watching this interview makes me understand some of the questions I have in my mind a little better now. He haven’t actually said anything, but I can feel this difference in him now as compared to the days between 2009-2010.

He looks happier, for one. I cannot be certain if he’s really happy, because after all, I don’t know what he’s thinking. I just know by instincts that he is definitely not that tense and cautious person that he once was, especially during January 2010, because of that incident which I don’t want to mention about. Fans of KHJ would know… I have not forgotten… and I’m sure many fans have not either.

I love how he still finds expressing himself so difficult. The way he described it is so candid, but when you hear it, your reaction will probably be, “oh my, I KNOW that feeling.” Like how he wants to get over certain awkward ‘thank yous’ and expression of feelings quickly, especially with people that he loves the most. Sometimes that’s really so true, for people who are so important, the more you want to get those ‘thankyou’ and expressions of love over and done with quickly, because they weigh so much that it’s too overwhelming to go through them.

And I also love how clear and realistic he is about the future. His future, to be exact. The fact that he knows it’s crucial for him to go all the way now, because a star will not always shine forever, even if you are Kim Hyun Joong……. (haha)  He knows that there’s a time limit to everything in this world, and when the time is up, I love how he is a person who does not want to hold on to it when the time is up. Rather, he wants to be someone who accepts it, and moves on, doing what he can for those he can still impact.

And Kim Hyun Joong seems to think that by being a cool ahjusshi (‘uncle’), he can still impact little children by being someone who can now buy ice cream and treats for the children and make them happy. For this, I think Kim Hyun Joong has completely underestimated himself….. (: There’s so much more he can do, not just being a cool ahjusshi!

Now, there is something that many fans are always unwilling to see or find it difficult to accept when they see other people commenting about it. But I still want to and will, because it is not like this is a lie. I am sure that we all know that he isn’t the best singer in the world. If you want to compare him with other solo singers, even idol group singers, he is truly just an average Joe in terms of singing ability. There are probably so many other singers out there who have so much talent in them. All of you can definitely list down a few names without much difficulty.

But there is one thing I always hope that all non-Kim Hyun Joong fans can try to appreciate is how singing is sometimes more than just about ability. I think it is fine, if you are someone who likes singers for their singing ability and talent.

However, you should not judge if someone else likes certain singers even if they aren’t as good a singer, because there are also other things that are important, not just talent. 

For example, a person without a lot of talent but he tries to make it up with a lot of other things, like sincerity whenever he holds the mike, his emotions, his feelings that comes out together with his voice. Singing is sometimes more than just talent, because if you can tell a story along with your voice, and the audience can feel it, this sometimes takes a lot more than just pure God-given talent.

Like this one, for example:

Can you see the expression on the faces of audience?

When I see it, I know it immediately, that they have felt it too; the story Kim Hyun Joong wants to relate through this song, the emotions he is feeling, and his sincerity when he sings this song.

So he isn’t someone with a particularly powerful voice, nor is he someone with a very good pitch and neither is he extremely musically inclined. But I still love it when he sings songs like this, because I can feel it in his voice and in his eyes that he is doing something that is not just singing, but also talking to us, the audience, and telling us a story that has no words in it except the lyrics of the song and the emotions that he is trusting himself to put across to the audience.

This is beautiful beyond measure. As a musician, I remember one of the things we are taught to concentrate on is how our wordless music notes can somehow reach every single person in the audience, to connect them with us and let them feel what we are feeling inside. It’s more than just being talented with the instrument, or playing everything correctly. Some people can do that and still not be able to connect with the audience, because this takes more than just talent, it’s about sincerity and a heart so pure and focused on the performance that even if they don’t specifically say it, you can feel it all the way across the room.

I feel that Kim Hyun Joong has this ability. Behind his 4D personality and bright smiles, there’s so much more about him that we don’t often get to see, and so much more going on in his mind that he only occasionally let slip of. Only when he is singing songs like this, you can feel it so strongly.

I wish for people who don’t know Kim Hyun Joong to understand and get to know him too. Not for his good looks, his CF-appeal, his dramas and especially not the stereotypical image of him being a ‘flower boy with good looks’ as what the media often portrays him as.

I wish for people to know the Kim Hyun Joong that is less known and less harped about in magazines and newspapers. To know Kim Hyun Joong from the eyes of the loving fans who have always watched him from far, who also have their own families yet they always keep a special spot for this guy and his brightness.
