[Article + Vid] Kim Hyun Joong Talks about Pressures Going Solo







Following the success of Break Down which sees Hyun Joong as the first Korean artiste in 2011 to surpass the 100,000 album sales mark, the charismatic chap revealed that he was "under a lot of pressure and stress" while putting together his solo debut.

Commenting on the "unexpected" achievement in album sales, Hyun Joong revealed that he was filled with "lots of worries" prior to its release.

"I had to do most of the preparations alone as a solo artiste and that was a lot of pressure for me. I overcame this when I saw how the fans supported me and how they liked my new album," he said.

So how has life changed for Hyun Joong since going solo?

"As a solo artiste, I have to take responsibility for a lot of things I do. In terms of that, I felt that I have grown into a more responsible person," Hyun Joong quipped in an interview with xinmsn.

Well, his hard work and dedication definitely paid off. The dexterous performer acknowledged his fans' support and would like to repay them by "producing a very nice concert next year". He added that Singapore will be one of the concert stops in early 2012.






What is one thing Hyun Joong always travels with?




Putting aside talk of his debut as a solo artiste, we asked the jet-setter a fun question: What is the one thing he carries with him whenever he travels?

"One thing that I always have to bring along is my iPad, which contains all my music, concert plans, event plans and schedules. This is one thing that I have to bring along and can never lose," he answered.

The singer gave a slight chuckle and a broad smile when we counter-asked him about his gaming habits on the iPad.

He said, slightly embarrassed, "Yes, I have many games. I play fishing games where you have to catch fish and also Paladog, where monsters come in your way and you have to destroy them," much to the amusement of his minders standing around him.
