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.”
