Kim Hyun Joong held the first showcase for his new album “Break Down” on June 7th in front of more than 4,000 fans from all over Asia. He gave a charismatic and colorful performance throughout the showcase, crossing over different genres, much to the delight of fans that have been waiting for his solo comeback for over a year.

He kicked off the show with “Let Me Go,” the intro song of his new album. Wearing a tight leather jacket and pants, along with shades, you could easily sense Kim Hyun Joong’s changed image filled with a more masculine and tough side of him.  



He followed up with a performance of the title track, “Break Down.” His powerful and dynamic dance sequences impressed many fans, but he would also often flash his adorable smile seeming to be at ease on stage. After two straight performances, Kim Hyun Joong changed into a gray suit and sang “Please” live. “It’s been a long time since we met on a live stage. I’m so happy to hear the fans’ voice,” he said following the third performance.

He then sang “One More Time,” the OST track from his popular drama “Playful Kiss,” and “Kiss Kiss” to close out the first part of the show.  

The second part of the showcase opened up with a surprise birthday party for Kim Hyun Joong. His birthday was on June 6th. For the party, his SS501 bandmates, Huh Young Saeng and Kim Gyu Jong appeared on stage. “I hope you enjoy the stage. It looks like you really became manlier. Your new look even better now,” the two told Kim Hyun Joong. His last performance was “Thank You” from the digital single album he released when he was starring in “We Got Married.”

The fan base at the showcase came from diverse age groups. From teens to people in their 50s, the crowd of more than 4,000 people seemed to enjoy every moment of the show, screaming his name and waving glow sticks.

Kim Hyun Joong released his first solo mini album “Break Down” on June 7th simultaneously across the entire Asian region, including countries like China, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore.

[News] Kim Hyun Joong - Talks about the pressure of going solo

your doing so great! =)

SS501’s Kim Hyun Joong recently talked about some of the pressures of being a solo artist.

Kim Hyun Joong held a press conference at the Jang Choong Gymnasium on June 7th about the release of his new solo mini-album “Break Down“.

Kim Hyun Joong stated at the press conference, ”I wanted to show my masculine side through this solo album“, and he continued, “I don’t think I’m ‘macho’ yet. I wanted to show as much as I could of my transition from a boy into becoming a grown man”.
He went on, “There were many performance songs with SS501 as well, but I feel that we lacked something in showmanship. Through this solo album, I believe I’ve become much stronger in the aspect of performance. I really wanted to show my maturity as a man”.

Kim Hyun Joong has worked in many areas including acting, but it has been a while since he has come to the public with an album. On top of that, he feels much pressure since it’s his first attempt at a solo album away from SS501.

Kim Hyun Joong revealed, “I had a lot of pressure before going on as a solo artist. I’m the fourth member of the group to come out as a solo artist, but I realized that it’s not easy with just the title of SS501 in my background. I realized I need to try even harder”.

He continued, “I worked harder to make better music to move away from the shadow of SS501″, he added to this by saying, “The jacket design, choreography, and even the puppy in the music video was set by me. The staff I worked with took and shaped my ideas very well”.





Kim Hyun Joong recently moved his contract to KeyEast, an entertainment agency lead by Bae Yong Joon.

“Yong Joon showed me many music clips, and he also offered to take pictures for my album jacket as he has a talent in photography but it was canceled due to his trip to Busan”, Kim Hyun Joong stated.

He continued saying, “Yong Joon doesn’t seem to have a dream as a musician, but I think he studies a lot in music production as he is the head of the agency”, and “Yong Joon gave me a lot of detailed advice after watching dance videos”.

The new album kicks off with the intro song “Let Me Go” which captures listeners with a powerful pipe-organ sound and contains a total of 6 songs that all carry different, but powerful attractions.

The title song “Break Down” is a dynamic song with powerful electronic brass and synthesizers in the background, creating the feel of an urban south dance song. “Break Down” is focused on creating the right atmosphere for Kim Hyun Joong’s intense performance.

Kim Hyun Joong’s debut album “Break Down” was released officially in Korea just hours ago, on June 8th.

Kim Hyun Joong - More on the Letter Hyun Joong Wrote

its just breaking my heart... =(


credits:   Gelzone + khjgalaxy (translation)


'Today wanted to perform to let everyone see that this is Kim Hyun Joong. Through showcase, everyone can see the musical side of me, but my heart cannot fully express myself hence pluck up courage and prepared this letter.'' said Hyun Joong

Then Hyun Joong walked to the front of the stage and took out the letter and told the fans 'The content won't make you cry so don't cry'. He began 'Meet everyone for exactly 6 years. During this long period of time, everyone didn't change and believe and support this man called Kim Hyun Joong.'

He revealed 'At the same time while preparing the album, looking back at the road I had walked,even though it has not been very long. Being with me is really important, giving me protection. Having to do all the things alone. The burden built up, to overcome all these, is not an easy thing'


He said 'The past 1 year, saw many fans fought and misunderstood, I didn't said a word and only looked at this scenario, felt that actually I'm also a helpless person.'

Controlling his tears, he continued reading 'But hope that when everyone watch and listen to my album and feel blessed. From today onwards, hope that everyone shall smile more and be more blessed. Not mine but everyone's album. Today want to tell everyone here from the bottom of my heart thank you, I love you all. Thank you so much. I love you all.' His tears with the fans' worried cheers dropped at the same time.
