Kim Hyun Joong, who recently made a Korean comeback after 2 years, opened up about his growth as an artist in an interview with Focus Newspaper.
Kim Hyun Joong shared, "I am 28 years old now, so I probably shouldn't be called an idol anymore. I want to show my maturity whether it's through my outgoing personality or music... I learned how to relax on stage. This album also contains different genres of music."
"My hoobaes don't have to follow in my footsteps. I want to do things that I want to try right now. I took on powerful choreography for 'Unbreakable', and I wondered if I could still perform this dance 3 years later."

Concerning his transformation from a 'pretty boy' to a more charismatic image, the singer recalled, "During my 'Boys Over Flowers' days, I wanted to show a manly image. But I leaned more towards a young, pretty boy image. But now I really became a 'man'."
When asked about his secret to longevity as an artist, Kim Hyun Joong answered, "I really don't know. I just kept doing the things I wanted to do, and I came to this day somehow... Whenever I perform at a concert, I always try to get closer with the audience and I normally try to treat my fans well. I am well aware that I was able to come this far because of my fans. I want to give my fans a 'free fan meeting' when I hit my 10th anniversary."
I don't like the way he looks in this new video, too many tattoos and jewelry. makes him look like a gangster. He is too sweet and gentle to be like that in his new video and album. I want my old KHJ back..God BLess Him...
ReplyDeleteSee I like both his pretty boy delicate side and the new bad boy style! it's the best of both worlds. And the tattoo's and everything else is for show in the video. althou, I personally thought he looked good. But that is my opinion. My daughter is going to be 10 yrs old and we live in the USA. And I got her hooked on KHJ it took her some time to get used to him in short hair, but now she says "god I wish I was 27!" she cracks me up, but I so love hearing her sing Break down and Unbreakable! Keep up the fantastic work KHJ, keep doing whatever it is you are doing and both myself and my daughter are sure you will still be able to perform the dance in 3 yrs.
