Q: Greetings

Sina’s netizens, hello. I’m Kim Hyung Jun.

Sina’s netizens, it’s been a long time,

I’m Kim Hyung Jun, it’s nice to meet up with everyone.

Q: During album [ESCAPE]‘s promotion activities, can you share with everyone the most memorable thing?

Before the official activities, I had a showcase

Many people came for the showcase

Many good friends also came and participated, spent a memorable time together

It was a time that left deep memories

Besides, this showcase was also broadcast live

Through Internet the showcase was aired live, I find it very meaningful

The period for this promotion activity was rather short, thus a little regretful

But the showcase was able to be aired live, this leave me deep impression

Q: Actor Kang Ji Hwan and Lee Ki Woo were cast in your MV, how did you knew them?

Many people felt that the two of them and me,

this 3 man has nothing in common, totally unable to match up

but we are from the same agency

So me as the junior sent invitations to them the seniors

The seniors also accepted my invitation readily

I think it’s because we are from the same agency

But I think even if its from the same agency helping out

of course it’s possible, but actually (they) can don’t accept the offer to help out

but they accepted readily

maybe because I’m the younger brother, so they make it a point to help me

Ji Hwan hyung and Ki Woo hyung treats me very well

They put in much effort to film just like its their own MV

The filming process was also quite tough

I’m very grateful to this 3 person, oh nope, this 2 person other than me

It’s really a very beautiful memory

Q: You’ve successfully held concerts in Japan, what touches you the most?

Actually I didn’t have many performances in Korea

Doing a concert is not an easy thing

But surprisingly there’s many of such chances in Japan

I’ve been involved in many activities related to (music) performances

Thus during August I held 9 nationwide concert tour in Japan and I felt one thing

Maybe there are not many chances to hold specialise concert in Korea thus unable to feel it

Japan fans are very passionate

No matter which city I went, especially this trip I went to Sapporo

Although it’s my first visit

But after the trip I have this feeling “Why did I only come now”

Many fans from Sapporo came

Before the concert there’s also handshake and autograph session

Many fans came for these events

It became an event that I was so so touched

It didn’t occur to me to receive so much love over there

Their love for me is way over my imagination

And also cared and supported me a lot

So I feel that their love and concern for me is exceptionally meaningful

I feel very thankful, they made me felt so happy

I’ve spent very happy and sentimental time in Japan, feeling so great

Q: Any plans for concert in China?

Actually I’ve had a couple of fanmeets in places like Shanghai

But I don’t go often

Like maybe the past 3 years I’ve been there less than 5 times, ah, less than 5 times

I think maybe only went twice

So am preparing to go to China next year

Actually I heard there are many activities in China this year end

But it didn’t progress very well

So the plans for the year end were cancelled.

Thus early of next year, intend to put my focus in China

Currently there’s plans to learn the language

And also preparing for events planning and release albums

Hope to officially release album in China

So hope everyone please wait patiently

The day that Kim Hyung Jun will use good music and acting skills

to repay everyone is coming, believe in me

Hope to meet up with everyone early next year

And also do anticipate my performances in China

Q: How do you feel of the difference between group and solo activities?

Actually other than the lonely feel when on stage

and also some bored feeling, there’s not much difference

No matter what the time wasn’t very short, it’s been about 3 years doing solo activities

It’s coming to the 3rd year next year

All these years the toughest part is the feeling of loneliness

During the process of doing solo activities

No matter how there’s regrets that five members can’t do activities together

Also felt sad

But after 3 years, this feeling is slowly diminishing

Now I’m also trying my best for my solo activities

So now I’m performing my solo activities with a happy heart

Other than the feeling of loneliness, it’s actually nothing.

Q: Are SS501 members still keeping in contact?

Of course, I’m not just saying anyhow

We have been calling each other brothers for 9 years

It’s coming to 10 years now

Don’t we have Shinhwa seniors as example

Sina can also verify, Shinhwa seniors have been together all along

We are also trying our best to be the 2nd longest group standing

Will definitely not break up

Although we are doing solo activities now,

but now is the time that each of us are charging up and be even stronger

Not long ago when Jung Min was preparing for his album for November release, I also went to show him support

Kyu Jong is currently serving his military service as public servant

I’ve also visited him

Also contacted Young Saeng and Hyun Joong often so everyone don’t feel like strangers

If there’s any unhappiness among us, will immediately say it out

We don’t like to keep it or hide it, will be very straightforward about it

Just voice it out if there’s any unhappiness

But will also make peace immediately

So we will keep moving far ahead together, don’t worry

Q: You are very active as an actor currently, any specific target?

I wish to receive a rookie award

Many award ceremony are due in next year, so might not have the chance.

But I still have the slight desire for an award, wish to get rookie award

Also I wish to receive recognition as an actor from everyone through acting in Korea

There’s many who are idols, idol groups

but are progressing well in the area of acting

There are people who are purely actors, there’s also some who are doing well in both acting and singing

I wish I can excel among them

Hope that when they are selecting cast, will look for me first

Hope to hear things like ‘Let’s give the script to Hyung Jun first’

Really wish to be the popular actor that all PDs are eyeing

For this target, I’m also diligently attending acting classes today

Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will also practice very hard

Hope that I can also be recognised as an actor just like how I am as a singer

Q: When you first acted, what is the most difficult thing you can’t get used to?

Initially I was very nervous of the camera

Cameras like this current interviewing camera

and those cameras during stage performance, I’m not at all afraid

But during the filming of drama, that small little camera

have to show off all the acting skills in front of it

Can’t jump and skip like on stage, and can’t dance

Even can’t have very big facial expression

Being restricted to just within that camera frame is something very tough

Another thing is the getting along with the staff

Need to get along with everyone, but there’s still awkward moments

There’s still some bias feeling against singers

Eventually will get to know better

but this part is still of some difficulty for me personally

This matter of getting close with the staff

Actually I feel I’m quite approachable

but maybe there’s still some area lacking

But to get at ease with the camera is still the toughest part

Q: What do you usually do when there’s no activities?

Because of the recent activity as an actor

thus will often watch movies and dramas that I’ve missed out

And also will drive out for a spin

I’ve said before

I love to drive so probably everyone knows

I love cars, so will go and see cars

watch car racing, or drive to the beach for a spin

These are what I’ll usually do when I have free time

Q: Then you didn’t join the Stars racing team?

Though I like it a lot, but my knowledge on car racing is not enough

Like is like, but like and doing it well is two different thing

So I’m just liking it as a hobby

Wish to buy many many cars

Recently besides driving I’ve also started playing soccer

So I wish to form a soccer team

Currently preparing it unofficially

I’m the leader, in order to establish “Kim Hyung Jun FC”

Now is in the stage of naming the team, please do anticipate

Many stars also like to play soccer, I’m so full of envy looking at them

I also wish to form a standard soccer team

So for the establishment of the soccer team, I’m working very hard

Recently I’m trying hard in preparation of the forming of the soccer team

Q: Who are your best friends in the industry?

I’ve many friends, Jang Geun Suk, who else?

There’s a lot, but the best is with Jang Geun Suk.

Am a little too open to say that our relationship is good, but it’s the truth

But Jang Geun Suk doesn’t like soccer

He likes tennis

I’m the leader for the soccer team, I’ll operate it first

Will get friends to join in later on

There’s MBLAQ

And DBSK

And SJ

There’s us and those who started our activities (debut) around the same period of time

Hyungs and dongsaengs from the groups all have good relationship (friendship)

I think very soon will form a very big soccer team

Hope everyone will give us your support

Q: Do you have the thought to carry out activities with KiBum?

I wish to do everything together with him

As elder brother, wish to share everything with my brother

If there’s a chance, wish to release a duet song with him next year

KiBum writes very nice songs

We wish to produce an album together by ourselves

Acting~wise, although I’ve started acting

but I still do not have the ability to help him

because I’m also at the learning stage

No matter what is it, as long as there’s chance I’ll want to do it together with him

Although it’s not plan to do whatever together

but as elder brother I’ve always been considering to do something for my brother

Maybe will release an album together, so please show your support

Q: Any plans for army enlistment?

Been planning all along

Can’t say that I’m not burdened or feel pressured about army enlistment

But as a man, army is a place that one must go

Must serve army, but to welcome this period of emptiness in the industry

I’ve to work extra hard right now

Seeing Kyu Jong entered the army, I thought I’ll work hard too

Although I’ll also need to enter army, but since it’s after Kyu Jong

I’ve very strong thoughts that I must work hard to carve out a career for the sake of our (SS501) future

Anyway when time is up, will have to go automatically

Now I’m working hard and pass everyday fulfillingly

Maybe it’s because of this sense of urgency, then people will live to the fullest

I think entering the army is also one beautiful experience in life

Q: How do you feel about interacting with China fans through Weibo?

I’ve been updating Weibo myself, my agency also help me to manage it too

Twitter is very popular, and it’s said that Weibo is China’s Twitter

Although I can’t go to China directly, but my news can be delivered anytime

So I’m also diligently keeping it up

If everyone likes it, I’ll drop by Weibo more often

Being Weibo’s number 1 is also my target

If I’m more active, fans will also increase right?

Then I’ll be more active (in Weibo)

Will release information regularly before visiting China

Also hope that China fans will show more concern

Leave more messages and comments

I’ll keep reading them

Hope everyone will visit (my Weibo) more often

Hope that Kim Hyung Jun’s Weibo will be the top among the fans, I will work hard.

Let’s work hard together

Q: What’s your upcoming plans?

Actually I’ve plans for drama filming in November,

but maybe I’m still lacking in many areas so I’m still making full preparations

I’ll be having many performances in Korea and Japan in November and December

Plans for nationwide tour and movie premieres are waiting for me

Being an actor and singer, I think I’ll be very busy towards the year end

Will prepare for new album at the beginning of next year

Should be releasing a new album in February

Also preparing to go to China for activities during that time, so please look forward to it

Other than these, will also meet everyone through acting

Firstly please look forward to my new album

Friends in China please keep it up too

Hope everyone will keep following me (in Weibo), I love sunflowers the most

Q: Lastly say some words to fans in China!

Friends of Sina.com it’s been a long time, I’m Kim Hyung Jun

Hope everyone will take note of my future activities, I’ll be coming to China real soon

Won’t just pay lip service, I will show you through my actual actions (to visit China).

I will be even stronger when everyone shows me more love, and will go and see you (in China).

Hope everyone will wait patiently

Hope everyone will be happy and lucky even till this year end

and hope everyone can welcome the New Year happily

Stay healthy and happy, friends in China, goodbye~
