[Account] Meeting Kim Hyung Jun upclose and personal / When the camera’s not rolling..




This is really THE account that I have no idea to begin with. (It’s been 2 weeks since the event) Writing this now, when the memory is not that fresh but yet lingering…

It started with a message from a friend, telling me that Kim Hyung Jun is coming and I should go and cover for the event. Prior to this, I had no idea that he is coming, since I have not been paying much attention to their updates (except for leader’s) for the past 1-2 years.

The last time I saw Kim Hyung Jun was while covering for his Singapore FM in 2011. (2 years back!?) Time does fly~



So on 17th March, I went to SPD Chairty Show, to cover the event for korea.com. Since I only write kpop news, so I only goes into the studio to film/take photos only when Kim Hyung Jun or Ye Eun goes in. For the rest of the time, I stayed with other medias at the reception area right outside the studio.

I shall not write about how good the performances were since all of you would have seen it on TV or watched him perform live. So, im just gonna share a bit about him when the camera wasn’t rolling….

After the opening of show where all the performers gathered, Kim Hyung Jun exited via backstage, and coincidentally I was there as well. He seemed happy and was all smiles. His first segment will be starting in about 30 minutes time, (as i was told) so i went back to media reception area. A short while later, Kim Hyung Jun also came over to reception area to watch the show on TV. I guess it’s really nice of him to do so, i would have expected him to go back to his waiting room and get some rest or touch ups on his make-up. Other local artistes were not seen to wait outside the studio for their turn. Personally, i think it really shows that not only is he just performing here, but also he is here to attend the show with full heart.

Fast forward…

After his first segment ended, we were brought to the waiting room to have an interview with him. Although that was not my first time doing an interview, but it was my first time interviewing someone from SS501, my personal favourite KPOP group~ Prior to the interview, i spent a quality amount of time drafting the questions, trying to make it not as ‘factual’ and ‘boring’ as the usual questions. So instead of coming up with the usual’s which most fans already known or read about in other interviews, I focused on getting fans to know more about him. At the same time, I was avoiding the usual sensitive topics (for kpop idol interviews) such as ‘plastic surgery’, ‘current relationships’ and in his case, ‘ss501′.

However, he proved me wrong! All those usually ‘sensitive topics’ were actually answered by him without a doubt when asked by other medias. There was no restrictions on the type of questions asked that day, and he addressed everyone’s questions seriously.

The interview lasted for about 30-40 minutes, then we have end it there since his next segment is coming up soon.

Back to backstage…
After Ye Eun finished her performance, I was waiting to do an interview with her. As she walks over, Kim Hyung Jun who was already waiting for his turn, went to shook Ye Eun’s hand and told her that she did a really good job~ (During the interview, Kim also said the Ye Eun is very famous in Korea.)
After Hyung Jun’s second segment, he came out to media reception area again to watch the show on TV.


To sum it all up, Hyung Jun seems to be a really down to earth, friendly and charismatic person.
I’m really glad and fortunate to report the event and it was a pleasure to meet him.

===
p.s. just a side track here – I actually saw him before the show, in the lift, when the door opened. With me then there was another lady, who was saying how handsome Kim Hyung Jun is

pp.s. A little bit about Ye Eun – Ye Eun, although she was born blind, but her talent really amazes me. She was really a cute girl, like a little angel. She was also very nervous when meeting people. During the interview with Ye Eun, as i asked in English, she cutely remarked “there’s Chinese people too?” ^^ (cause the other 2 reporters are korean).
