Kim Hyun Joong has taken the challenge to high-five all 3,000 members in the audience at the Kim Hyun Joong Asia Fan Meeting 2012 in Singapore on 4 May 2012, aiming to break the record by any artiste performing in Singapore so far to offer the closest fan interaction for audiences during a concert. Previously only open to 500 lucky fans in the audience, Kim Hyun Joong has now personally requested to high-five all concert attendees at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, a feat never undertaken before at any concert or fan meeting.

Kim Hyun Joong will also give away one set of T-shirt and brooch of his own design, encompassing the U:ZOOSIN character, a cartoon avatar created by Kim Hyun Joong himself to everyone in the audience. This will be specially made for this fan meeting tour. Kim Hyun Joong’s official animated character U:ZOOSIN has sold 50,000 units in Korea alone, boasting approximately US$1,900,000 in sales.

“This is a very special request we’ve received, which proves Kim Hyun Joong’s immense devotion to his fans. We are glad that fans in Singapore will get a very personal touch – pun intended – with Kim Hyun Joong; but we’re also excited that all members in the audience will be part of a record-breaking moment,” says Wendy Ng, Executive Producer of Running Into The Sun.

High-five sessions are normally small, private sessions that are open to a small group of fans to interact with artistes before or after a concert. However, Kim Hyun Joong will be taking this a step further by expressing his wish to high-five every single member of the audience, breaking away from the notion that superstars of his calibre are often put on a pedestal.

Kim Hyun Joong 2012 Asia Fan Meeting in Singapore will showcase over 10 songs, slick dance moves, special effects and interactive segments in a two-hour show. Premiere seats, the seats closed to the stage have completely sold out, but fans can rest assure that good seats are still available across the Arena and Terrace categories.

Kim Hyun Joong Asia Fan Meeting 2012 will be held 4 May 2012 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. “Kim Hyun Joong Asia Fan Meeting 2012 Singapore” is brought to you by Official Card UOB Cards, and organized by Running Into The Sun and AMC Group Singapore.

[Info] Useful Informations for Henecians Attending KHJ Asia Fan Meetings

To those going to Singapore, have fun everyone! Wish I was there too to meet everyone!

Credit: http://onlykhjtimes.blogspot.com


When the fanmeet stops of Asia Tour 2012 were announced, many of us in OKT got busy looking at which were the venues that we could go, which was the nearest, the most convenient for us.Our members are scattered in about 12 countries = some in Asia, some not.

Many of us do not have a FM in our home country but we didn’t waste time lamenting about why a FM was not held in our home country.

Maybe that is not our way. After all, we all live in a world now that supposedly everyone can fly. Erm, I mean there are some cheap flights. (Thank goodness for the flourishing budget airline industry!)
So instead, we planned, we discussed, and we pulled strings. We got friends and friends of friends to help in booking tickets, hotel recommendations and voila!

About 12 of us are going to going to the FMs in Hong Kong, in Singapore, in Taiwan. To save money, many of us are sharing rooms.

Many of us have never met each other at all…so it is a meeting of dongsaengs and eonnis who have come to know each other over the last 1 year, all through our love of KHJ.

The point of the little story above is merely this: we understand that some of you out there who are from other countries may be vacillating about whether to go for HJ’s overseas fanmeets or not because none is held in your home country.

You may have a partner to go with you, you may not.You may worry about visiting a foreign place all by yourself.You may be thinking about waiting for the world tour that HJ had mentioned some time ago.
Some of our members had the same worries, as not all 12 are going to all locations. But we remembered something important: ‘Life is just ONE shot’. Don’t live with regrets. You never know what tomorrow brings.

The reason why many of us in OKT rushed to get tickets to see HJ is because not all our members have seen HJ in person and many are done with waiting for others to tell them how wonderful HJ is. They are impatient to see for themselves.

They want the real thing. They are tired of shouting ‘I love you’ and ‘I miss you’ online, in twitters, on blogs.
And they want to tell him personally, to shout aloud with the rest of Henecia and Triple S out there…the one word that’s resounding in our hearts all along: Kim Hyun Joong, hwaiting!

But we understand how you feel as you dither about whether to go for the FM or not. In view of the possible difficulties you think you will face, in view of some of the worries that you may have in your heart, we want to let you know that all of us here in OKT will try our best to help you out. Be it in ticketing, hunting down reasonably-priced accommodation, or helping you find your way to the FM venue.

Some of our members will be at the Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong meets. We are a network of friends who work in support of HJ. So please do not be shy to talk to us if you need help. You only need to ask. Our email is: onlykhjtimes[@]gmail.com.

Oh, and if any of you out there may have somehow been misinformed by irresponsible parties that it is just a FM and not worth the price, well, HJ is going to be bringing a crew of over 40 people to give his fans what may amount to a full-concert experience.

In the two-hour FM, there will be 14 songs, a lucky draw for 500 fans to go on stage and hi-5 with him, and HJ is personally preparing mystery gifts for his fans as this post is written.He will sing, he will dance; he will talk, he will laugh, and he will share stories with us.

To many of us who had been to numerous supposedly full-scale concerts, we are actually THANKFUL that this is not like other full-scale concerts. BECAUSE IT IS WAY BETTER. Hehe.

A documentary shows Hallyu Star Kim Hyun Joong’s 24 hours

 

A documentary featuring 24 hours in  the life of Hallyu star Kim Hyun Joong was recently broadcast.

On April 14, a special MBC feature, K-Pop Star Rocks the World—Lucky Guy Kim Hyun Joong, was aired. On the show, Kim talked about the hardships he had experienced and the efforts he had to put into becoming a superstar.

After his debut as a member of SS501, Kim went into acting, initially in KBS2’s Boys Before Flowers. Since then, the singer has achieved pan-Asian stardom as an active actor and solo singer.

The documentary shows Kim’s thorough preparation for his stage performances and his close relationships with his concert crew and co-workers. The footage demonstrates Kim’s great passion and modesty.

Kim says, “I think my performances on stage allow me to interact with my fans and appreciate their love even more. It’s my duty to impress those who come to my concerts.”

The modest singer and actor is currently preparing a world tour, titled the 2012 Kim Hyun Joong Fan Meeting, while also trying to choose his next acting project.

A letter written by JYJ’s Kim Jae Joong to Kim Hyun Joong has become an issue.

In the episode of MBC’s K-Pop Star Shakes the World–Lucky Guy Kim Hyun Joong which aired on April 17, Kim Hyun Joong shows his particularly close relationship with JYJ’s Kim Jae Joong.

The stars are seen having a meal together and frankly sharing about their stories for they haven’t seen each other for a long time.

Kim Hyun Joong says, “We have lived together for a year, but because we are both busy with activities abroad, the actual time we’ve spent together is only about a month.

 When I was going through a hard time, Jae Joong hyung wrote me a letter. He said, ‘If there’s anything bothering you, don’t keep it to yourself. I’m there for you.’ I was so grateful for that letter.” He expresses his gratitude to Jae Joong.

On hearing this, Kim Jae Joong replies, “I received a letter back from Hyun Joong which read, ‘I’m sorry and thank you, hyung.’ I know it’s pretty awkward for guys to communicate with a letter, but still…” and laughed out loud.

Netizens who saw the episode commented: “I knew they were close but never expected them to be this close. How sweet of Kim Jae Joong to write a letter for Kim Hyun Joong?” “I’m so envious. I wish I had a friend like him.” “These two Hallyu stars’ friendship is so impressive. Kim Jae Joong’s letter is so sweet.”

"The focus will be on Kim Hyun Joong, especially since he’s created a Hallyu empire with just his name. One Japanese critic had stated, “In 2012, the direction of K-Pop will change to focus on solo artists, and Kim Hyun Joong is expected to stand as leader of that change. All eyes are on him.”
