Kim Hyun Joong - good deeds, our forgotten hero. Kim Hyun-jun - style actor: biography, filmography, personal life Mischievous kiss and life changes

Kim Hyun Joong is a South Korean singer, actor and fashion model. Former frontman of the famous dance group "SS501". As an actor, he received recognition in 2009, after filming in the film Boys Over Flowers.

Kim was born in the capital of South Korea in a family of restaurateurs. Even in kindergarten, the boy showed high intellectual abilities, as he memorized new words and their pronunciation much faster than his peers. In elementary school, Hyun Jun was repeatedly awarded the main prizes at mathematical olympiads and creative competitions. The guy was also fond of sports and independently learned to play musical instruments.

As a teenager, he drops out of school as he decides to become a professional singer. Looking ahead, let's say that later Kim graduated from school, but already being a pop music star. He also studied at Chongwun University with a degree in Theater Production Management and at Kyonggi University in the Acting Department.


Kim worked as a waiter in his parents' restaurant, and at the same time participated in all kinds of castings. At one of the performances, he was noticed by the director of the production agency and included in the new boy band.

Violating the original contract, the producer said that the guys would start building a career not in their native country, but in China, as the fashion for Korean performers was back there. Kim Hyun Joong refused and left the group without debuting in it. The future showed that the young man made the right choice. Soon he passed another audition and got into the group "SS501", becoming its leader.

Music

With the song "Warning", the group debuted in 2005, and by the end of the same year became the best new group in Korea. Subsequently, the dance youth team was called even the best Asian project. During their 6-year career, the guys released as many as 48 records, although, of course, not all of them contained new songs. But such compositions as "Deja Vu", "Song For You", "You Are My Heaven" and "My Girl" became super hits not only in Asia, but throughout the world.


Himself Kim Hyun Joong as a leader, frontman and face of the team has always remained in the first roles. Fans even gave him the nickname Manne, which means "Living Sculpture". Kim took part in almost all concerts and sound recordings of the group, as well as in independent projects. For example, he performed in the Japanese musical "Cafe-In".

Feeling that he is able to realize himself in a solo career, the leader of "SS501" leaves the team in 2011 and begins independent work. The rest of the guys followed Hyun Joong's example. However, in their interviews, all the guys say that in the future they are ready to get together and continue cooperation.

The singer released his first solo album "Break Down" in early June of the same year, and about 70 thousand copies were sold out on pre-orders. This disc became the best seller of the summer and hit the top lines of not only local but also Japanese charts.

Even greater success awaited the new album "Lucky", which eventually took 5th place in the most prestigious world chart "Billboard". Thanks to this, Kim Hyun Joong received the title of best singer at the Asian Music Awards. Later, the artist released three more studio discs and took part in the recording of several popular soundtracks.


By the way, Kim made several other breakthroughs in the world of Asian music. Firstly, he became the first Korean who was invited to the popular Taiwanese music show "Personality", and secondly, he was the first of his fellow countrymen to conduct a large-scale tour of a huge number of cities in Japan.

Films

In 2009, Kim Hyun Joong, as already a fairly well-known personality, was invited to try himself as an actor. In Korea, they began filming a remake of the Japanese melodrama "Flowers Over Berries", which in the adapted version was called "Boys Over Flowers". The TV series was a great success not only in South Korea, but also abroad. The film was shown even in Europe and America. For Hyun Joon himself, the first test also turned out to be very bright: he was recognized as the best actor of the year at the Seoul Film Festival.


Kim's acting career continued in the romantic comedy "Naughty Kiss", but this project could not repeat the success of the previous one. The last episodes of the television series were not even shown on TV, but posted on the Internet.

Later, the actor starred in the action movie City Conquest and the melodramas Dream High and Young Time. Regardless of the popularity of the movies, interest in Kim Hyun Joong only increased. In 2011, he received the Style Icon award for the third time in a row, because in addition to musical taste, the young man has a taste for clothes and very effectively combines various parts of his outfit, not only in films or on stage, but also in everyday life.

Personal life

Kim Hyun Joong is not married, but journalists from almost all publications write about his numerous novels. The singer and actor himself has repeatedly stated that he is not yet ready to build a family with any of his passions.


A big scandal happened to the star in 2014. His ex-girlfriend, a certain Miss Choi, stated that she was pregnant by him. The musician agreed to take over the upbringing of the baby if DNA analysis confirms that Kim is indeed the father. But to date, there is no evidence that Hyun Joong is related to Miss Choi's child.

On May 12, 2015, Kim Hyun-jun was mobilized and entered the mandatory military service in Korea. He returned from the army in February 2017.

Biography

Singer and actor Kim Hyun-jun was born on June 6, 1986 in the capital of South Korea - Seoul. He has a brother, Kim Young Joong, who is a year older than him. Not romantic, but very charming, courageous and charismatic, Hyun Joong gave his parents a lot of headaches in his youth. However, since childhood, he was smart, responsible and purposeful.

Hyun Joong started walking when he was only 9 months old. Until that time, he could only sit or stand on his own, but not crawl, because of which his parents were very worried. However, at the age of nine months, he unexpectedly walked, skipping the crawling stage, which surprised and delighted his parents very much. On his first birthday, during the Toljabee ("choice of fate"), Hyun Joong's parents specially placed a notebook, a pen and a brush right in front of him. The young genius chose a brush, which means that he will become a scientist. And in fact, Hyun Joong grew up as a very smart and quick-witted boy. He was easily given both the school curriculum and additional classes in calligraphy and writing khanch, for which his parents signed him up. Back in elementary school, at the qualifying exam, Hyun Joong was awarded the third level of mastery of hancha, which even many high school students cannot do. At that time, Hyun Joong's brilliant mind brought him many gold medals in various competitions. He has also always been first or second best in school. Two years before graduation, Hyun Joong began to seriously get involved in music. His father was opposed to Hyun Joong becoming an artist, but he bought him a guitar anyway. In just a few months of practice, Hyun Joong was able to achieve good results, and his guitar playing was in no way inferior to professionals who have been making music for more than one year. Deciding to become a singer, Hyun Joong left school.

In 2001-2002, while working as a waiter at his parent's restaurant, Hyun Joong met the CEO of a young management company. He and 4 other young men who were supposed to perform in the same group began training and preparing for their future debut. When the company invited the members to debut in China as a hallyu project group, they refused, and as a result, the group was disbanded.

In 2005, Hyun Joong returned to school to complete his studies. In the same year, he successfully auditioned for DSP Media (formerly DSP Entertainment) and signed a contract with it. On June 8, Kim Hyun Joong made his debut as the leader and main dancer of SS501 (the name stands for "(S)uperstar (S)ingers 5 members united as 1 forever").

Personal life

Ideal Type: Lee Hyo Ri.

I dated a girl during my school days. He broke up with her shortly before the debut.

Since Hyun Joong loves soju, he wants his girlfriend to be able to drink a lot. He wants a girl who will look only at him. Unlike his character from Boys Over Flowers, Hyun Joong is willing to fight for the girl he loves, even if it costs him his friendship. He will do anything to get her love.

In the summer of 2014, a scandal broke out involving Hyun Jun and his ex-girlfriend, a certain Miss Choi. At the end of August, he was charged with assault and battery against Miss Choi. Photos of ex-lovers have appeared on the Internet, as well as pictures showing bruises allegedly received by Miss Choi as a result of Hyun Joon's attack. In September, the artist admitted that once there really was a fight between him and Miss Choi. That same month, he formally apologized to Ms. Choi, after which she dropped the charge against him. In October, information appeared that the district police department, despite the withdrawal of all charges by the injured party, opened a criminal case against Hyun Jun. In January 2015, articles began to appear that the Seoul Prosecutor's Office had also filed charges against the artist. In February, it was revealed that Hyun Joong and Miss Choi were dating again and she was pregnant by him. However, both the artist's agency and his former current girlfriend have stated that they have no intention of getting married. There have also been reports that Miss Choi was previously pregnant by Hyun Joong, but lost the baby in a miscarriage. In May 2015, Hyun Joong stated that he denied that Miss Choi had a miscarriage in the past. In the same month, after 2 delays, he went to military service in the army. In June, at a court hearing, Ms. Choi's current pregnancy was questioned by her parents. Previously, they also asked her to visit the doctor together to confirm the pregnancy and get information about the development of the fetus, but Ms. Choi constantly postponed the joint visit to the hospital. In July, Hyun Joong filed a counterclaim against Ms. Choi for defamation and allegations related to her pregnancy, his lawyers also asked for a travel ban for Ms. Choi. In the same month, Miss Choi, in support of her allegations, posted on the Internet an intimate correspondence with Hyun Joon and made a statement that she broke up with Hyun Joon due to his cheating with a celebrity. After that, rumors appeared on the Internet that the third participant in this scandal could be actress Jin Se Yeon, with whom Hyun Joon starred in the TV series “Young Time”. The actress was furious at such unfounded statements addressed to her and on her social network page asked not to interfere in this scandal, since she is not the celebrity in question, and she does not have a relationship with Hyun Joon. The actress's agency also threatened to take legal action against the "peddlers" of false rumors.

The long-awaited victory of Kim Hyun Joong

Such a sexy lion on stage and so innocent in relationships...

After two years of desperate fighting with his ex-girlfriend, Kim Hyun Jun still won his victory. For two years, the media did not stop and surprised us with new information about their personal lives. Somewhere there was truth and somewhere lies, but where exactly? As it turns out, most of the evidence Choi Hye Mi gave the wrong ones, hoping to get more money from Hyun Joon. All of her several pregnancies also turned out to be lies, and there was no miscarriage during the beating. Gradually revealing all the information about their personal lives, the very fact that the singer raised his hand to a woman does not paint him. But after a while, it turned out that all this again turned out to be a lie. If we talk about truth and lies, then we cannot know the whole truth about their relationship, then what Hyun Jun beat this girl may be quite true. Perhaps not as presented to us Choi in the photo, but in a different form, not so bright.

Judging by their correspondence, which this madam made public, it is very clear how aggressive he is, and certain conclusions can be drawn from this. But on the other hand, do not be surprised, the usual scandal between two lovers.

Whenever we make certain decisions in life and do certain actions, we should not forget that this should be paid for. If you meet a star and decide to start a war with him, then be prepared for the fact that it’s not so easy to win. Choi so hoped for the influence of the public on Hyun Joon that did everything just to drown him in the mud and ruin his career. She even decided to give birth, and again reached into his pocket for alimony, but the court decided not in her direction.

To what extent were these relationships successful or sincere? Everytime Choi endured moral or physical bullying and returned to him again, where everything ended with ordinary sex. How many times have they had fights and ended up having sex again? Is this a way to reconcile or what is it? Choi complained that he slept with other women, but she herself continued to go to bed with him. I want to ask, where is the respect for yourself? Or are you used to getting into bed with men so easily? How women do it, in nightclubs taking it as a job. Or perhaps something like Hyun Jun Is this the only way to keep it?

Well, what else can you expect from him, fame and money, of course, could ruin him. Staggering around nightlife and bringing home regular girls of easy virtue is normal for him. He uses his appearance, status and money. He never thinks about the one who is waiting for him, because he knows that she will forgive and continue to have sex with other women again.

I always knew that having such an appearance, you will have the behavior of a whore! You always watch your idol from the screen and it seems that everything is perfect with him and he himself is the same, but once you look into his life, the opinion immediately changes. We see not what we expected, we see what we would not like to see.

Oddly enough, condemnations aside Hyun Joon There were many and they are still going on. But as for all foreign fandoms, most people support him and believe in innocence. The people were so eager to prove it that they were ready to express their support for the general opinion in the courtroom on August 10th. They also apologize to the media for spreading false information about the artist or giving objective reports with reliable facts. The attitude of the company is also extremely dissatisfied.keyEastEntertainment, which has been silent for a long time and does not take any measures towards protecting the artist.

In fact, it would be nice to fire all those who are responsible for their charges, the CEO, for example. Well, as for the media, it is their job to spread all the ridiculous information. What are the fans expecting? , Kim Hyun Jun didn't ask anyone when he went to bed with his ex. So why should the media apologize if his personal life depended on himself, could not save himself, then who is to blame? I think we know the answer, although many may disagree with me.

Your fans are a real inspiration and support for you. It's worth being proud of Hyun Jun, but when you decide to once again solve the problem with sex with a girl, put on special clothes and then proceed to action, but even better, think with your head and not with your instincts.

The fact that you were destroyed in public as a person is your fault and only you. Your thoughtless actions in your personal life have destroyed you. You have to pay for your desires, no matter how. People will never know the truth about your relationship, we only see what the media tells us or what we want to see. But we will never see what is really happening to you. You are, first of all, a celebrity and never forget about it, your fame will destroy you. And yes, you have a taste for women rubbish!

Finally, it is worth saying that, return to the group. Give inspiration to your fans, such rehabilitation will be more useful for you than ever. They will be happy.


Fans of Asian dramas and K-pop are well aware of the name Kim Joon. He is one of those people whose talent is evident in everything, whether it is music, acting, dancing, singing career. And it's not just about good looks. A lot of young and beautiful stars light up. But few of them achieve truly amazing heights.

Getting Acquainted - Kim Hyun Joong

The biography of the actor is described in some detail by his fans. Fans painstakingly collect facts from the life of their idol and generously share them.

So, the actor was born in Seoul in 1986. His closest people are his parents and older brother. He has a very close relationship with them. Parents still remember with pleasure the childhood years of the future star. Noting the incredible energy of the boy, who seemed to succeed everywhere and everywhere, they are still surprised at how easily Kim Joon learned. At the same time, they did not think about a creative career for their son.

The boy successfully performed at mathematical Olympiads, winning victories. He did not bypass art competitions, where he also took first places. Yes, and music teachers told their parents about the serious development of talent (Kim took up playing the guitar from the third grade of high school).

The father was against his son choosing too risky a path and becoming an actor. He wanted to see him as a student at Seoul University. But Jun passed the casting for a trainee singer. And I didn't guess.

An interesting fact: Kim carefully kept the money awards he received at various school competitions, and when he needed to help his older brother pay for his studies in the United States, he happily gave him 300 million won. Quite solid money, especially considering that the financial situation of the family was greatly shaken during the crisis.

Carier start

In 2005, Kim Hyun Joong made his first appearance as a member of the SS501 group. The biography of that period is the story of the rapid rise of a star. The leader of the new group very soon became a real idol. And the group itself did not leave the tops of music ratings for a long time. The members of SS501 have been guests on the set of many TV shows. And in 2008, the leader of the group was invited to play in the drama Boys Over Flowers.

First role

The drama Boys Over Flower (we translate its name as “Boys over flowers” ​​or “Flowers over berries”) revealed Jun’s acting talent to fans.

The series has gained incredible popularity in Asia. Then his fame stepped far beyond Korea. In addition to rave reviews in Taiwan, Japan, China, Vietnam, India, Nepal, Singapore, the drama quickly gained fans in the West. After the release of the TV version with English translation in the United States, copies of the discs were distributed around the world. And in Russia there are plenty of fans of "Tsvetochkov".

It should be noted that the filming process was very tense. Stress and fatigue turned into health problems. The actor even passed out while working on a Gangnam (sports brand) promotional video. This caused concern in the press and fans around the world.

But despite this, Kim did not cancel any of the planned events and left with his group for Japan.

A mischievous kiss and a change in life

In 2010, another picture was released with an actor named Kim Jun. The filmography of the actor was replenished with the tape "Naughty Kiss". In it, he played a very cold guy, smart and impregnable.

The series was no less successful than the previous drama. And Jun only strengthened his position as an actor. The career of the star continued to gain momentum. He was chosen as the face of the cosmetic brand Tony Moly. He was also named one of the most stylish and handsome actors in Korea. In 2010, the contract with SS501 also ends. And Jun took up his solo career.

Not too noticeable in 2010 was the filming of a mini-drama for mobile phones "Love of Pygmalion". Although many critics noted the extraordinary penetration of history.

Image change

In 2011, Kim released his first mini solo album. Then he actively began to record new songs, shoot videos, and tour.

2014 pleased fans with the release of a new project. Actor Kim Hyun Joong drastically and appeared in the series "Young Generation" in a brutal way.

The plot of the tape tells about a young guy who is forced to survive by the strict rules that prevail in Shanghai in the 30s of the last century. At that time, the city was embroiled in a gang war. The action takes place against the backdrop of the Japanese occupation and revolution.

Although there is a lot of romance in the drama, it also has a lot of action. The protagonist acts tough, and sometimes frankly cruel. But he also reveals himself as a loyal friend and caring lover.

June worked on his figure for the role, giving it more masculinity. Fans noted his pumped up body. In addition, it is clear that the actor has grown emotionally. He's great at tight, complex scenes. Jun's new look formed the basis of his photo shoot for The Star.

A little about personal

Many fans are interested in whether Kim Hyun Joong is married. The personal life of the actor, for all his openness, is not a topic discussed much in the press. Kim himself does not hide information about himself, but he does not voice specific names either. It is only known that he is definitely not yet married, postponing such a responsible step for later. Now, according to him, all his aspirations are aimed at a career. He wants to achieve a lot and try himself everywhere.

In an interview, Kim willingly discusses the qualities that his future wife should have. He wants to see a girl next to him who would share his interests and be a friend. Kim admits that he is not a romantic at all, and he is somewhat frightened by the prospect of romantic courtship, accepted among the "couples".

In one show, June admitted that he was dumped by girls more than once. And sometimes he himself was to blame for the gap. Well, idols make mistakes too.

For friends, Kim Jun is honest and sweet. And the members of the SS501 group called him Puppy, because his face strongly resembles the face of an affectionate dog.

Kim Hyun Joong has not even crossed the thirty-year milestone yet. And, presumably, fans of his talent will expect many more of his works both in music and in cinema. The new project "Young Generation" has already demonstrated the actor's ability to get out of the usual role of cute young men. Perhaps in the future his filmography will be replenished with the most diverse genre paintings.

The general meaning of the word "legendary" is assigned to someone who is known for talents, deeds and other uniqueness. Kim Hyun Joong was so named at the beginning of his career - for his quirkiness, his high desire to do everything to be in the spotlight? Of course, the casting directors saw the opportunity, they just had to wait for the right time to debut and be recognized. Even the hosts of the show showed interest in this young guy, not only because of his teenage years, but also when he showed his dancing skills. He later appeared regularly on talk shows where he was in the foreground while the camera was taped to him. Was that enough to make him legendary? Do they know something that the public doesn't know?


The world that sustains K-pop has watched it grow. We saw him grow before our eyes in show business. The one we haven't seen before, we tried to look for clues in his childhood, youth and adult photos. We also looked for information in stories that were closer to him. We read with fleeting attentiveness interviews about him that he revealed in stories here and there. We were irritated as well as worried when we learned about his crises, if you can call them that. I assume that there is a desire in the viewer to predict how this young man will develop, where he will go next. Some were defenders, but still others blamed him for the scandals in show business that he found on his head.


Was he following the usual K-POP idol path? By preparing and taking the first steps, the answer is yes. Impact and image building were part of that. He was a product of the idol machine in South Korea. He was fodder in the grain mill, like everyone before and after him. All work. Being an idol means being in the top position. But. Idols are, by definition, on top, but they can be knocked off their pedestal, they can fall down to their fans. Idol is a temporary title, there is only one problem - now he is beautiful and full of charm, but one wrong move and they become ugly and destroyed. As far as the media can see. The Internet made us one community, although we did not meet face to face (facebook and only facebook). If there are secrets, whether you are known or not, it is better to hide them.

QCD did not spare the blows. He felt the pain of his wounds, loneliness was his company. Although, he was not so lonely as long as there were those who supported him, who believed in him. Still.

Then we woke up one day and saw that Kim Hyun Joong had come out of the soil: he had found his own ways of seeing the future. He looks with wide eyes, his ear is always open. We can only rely on what he told us if we caught it right. It's been in his head for a long time. The Chinese were right. Because crisis is the twin of opportunity. One can actually know that he can walk the crisis right up to the opportunity, although many may not see it in the same way.

The other half of the legendary comes from the imagination of the beholder. It assumes how capable the hero is of deeds, whether he is faithful or not, to make the story worthy. The goal was to make the hero more majestic and show his weaker side. They say that legends are losers.

Kim Hyun Joong is no longer a legend due to the aforementioned parameters. He is not imagination, he is real, he is made of flesh and blood, not a figment of the imagination. He is no longer just a romanticized small-screen figure, but a Wealthy Man. He has his scars, as well as his medals. He had frustrations and disappointments as well as victories. He made his own way. It's not easy being a beginner. It is not for the weak of heart and body. Even the body fails many times, but not his desires. What willpower can do. What can you do yourself. But we just can't imagine what he went through. No words can adequately describe his persistent, constant efforts. Efforts grew and worked. Managing every step. Sometimes interestingly, at the end of the day, he reflects on how he moves the ground under his feet.


Just like in The Truman Show, Kim Hyun Joong jumped out the door of the legend. Make the world believe that he has stepped into a reality that he can build or destroy. Finally, he controls his ship and announces in commanding voice: Forward at maximum speed!
