Kim Hyun Joong recently won four awards at the 2012 Yahoo Asia Buzz Awards. The Yahoo Buzz Awards is an annual event that gives awards to Asian pop stars based on their “buzz,” or number of searches they received on the Internet portal site. On December 17, the awards ceremony was held in Hong Kong. Kim received the Ten-Year Popularity Grand Prize and three trophies for Top Buzz Korean Artist in Asia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. He has received the awards for four years in a row since 2009.
Kim placed first among those who have been popular in Asia for the past ten years, since 2003, when the awards ceremony has established. This garnered him the Ten-Year Popularity Grand Prize. He also received around 1,350,000 votes, which is three times higher than the other nominees on average, and won the trophy for Top Buzz Korean Artist in Asia.
According to his agency, Kim said, “I have received these great awards at the Yahoo Buzz Awards for four years. I’m so happy, and I want to thank all my fans for giving me these awards. I will work harder, and I hope you all have a happy Christmas.”
Kim is currently receiving considerable attention with his first Japanese EP, Unlimited, released on December 12. The EP ranked first on the Oricon as soon as it was released.
A music video for “Save Today” from his new EP also ranked first on the biggest Chinese music video site Yin Yue Tai. This proves that Kim is very popular in all Asian countries, including Korea, Japan, and China.
He will start a tour in January that will take him to ten Japanese cities including Kobe, Saitama, Nagoya, and Fukuoka.
