[Translation / Romanization] Kim Hyun Joong Still Lyrics

日本語（Japanese)

今も君の思い出が

今も色あせなくて

時が流れたら記憶も薄れる

愚かにもそう信じてた

過ちならどこからか

面影を描いては

君だけを求めてる

涙で洗い流し

べつの記憶抱いても

君を今でも

数え切れないほどの

甘い夜と言葉と

君を忘れられなくて今でも

今も君の指先 (I feel you baby)

今も君が胸をたたく

過ちならどこからか

面影を描いては

君しか愛せなくて

涙で洗い流し

べつの記憶抱いても

君を今でも

数え切れないほどの

甘い夜と言葉と

君を忘れられなくて今でも

君が立ち去った心は空席だらけ

だれも満たせないだろう

そうさ今でも

涙で夜を証

重ねたかすかな笑み

君を今でも

君と歩いた道

他愛もないすべてを

君を忘れたくないよ今でも

今でも

忘れない、忘れられない

今でもまで

Even now, your memories

Even now, it hasn’t faded

Memory fades away as time passes

I was stupid to believe that

If it’s a mistake,

I’m drawing an image of you

I wish for only you

I wash it away with tears,

Even if I hold on to other memories

Even now, it’s you

Those countless sweet nights and words

I am unable to forget you, even now

Even now, your fingertips (I feel you, baby)

Even now, you make my heart beat

If it’s a mistake,

I’m drawing an image of you

If it’s not you, I cannot love anyone else

I wash it away with tears,

Even if I hold on to other memories

Even now, it’s you

Those countless sweet nights and words

I am unable to forget you, even now

My heart when you went away, it was empty

Nobody can satisfy it

It’s so, even now

I spent the night with tears

I forced a faint smile

Even now, it’s you

The road I walked with you

Those silly and ordinary things

I don’t want to forget you, even now

Even now

I can’t forget you, I’m unable to forget you

Until now

[Translation] Kim Hyung Jun Interview on Hanryu Love Story Perfect Guide : The Spell Of Love (Part 1)

Q. How was the drama of every day and long-term?
JJUN : Before shooting, I was worried.. But after the shooting now, I feel that I can grow and gain confidence. "Making role" is not difficult. Because I was trying "enjoy" without thinking hard.
However it was very hard to physically (laugh) This shooting takes 8 months, we had taken 4-5 days weekly. So I was borne in mind that I will take a regular meal. The breakfast menu with plenty of nutrition, I took a lot of moisture in particular.
And I played to be able to assimilate the character to forget myself.

Q. What is the similar point with Han Tae Kyung?
JJUN : Han Tae Kyung is severe personality. But I'm not! The similar point is romantist man who give all for lover(laugh)

Q. The most impressed scene?
JJUN : Very happy scene with Swim. The moment that Tae Kyung's love for long year was rewarded.

JJUN : I feel that team "Melody of Love" is like my family. We spent like real family.

Q. Future goals as actor?
JJUN : Actor is "the 2nd life' to me. I want to acting soulful, such as not ashamed as an actor.

[Translation] The (Truth) That News Titles Tell You - Kim Hyun Joong Suspected Of Assaulting Girlfriend?

(note: this is not a full translation of the article)

新聞標題告訴你的「真相」— 金賢重涉嫌打女友？The [Truth] that news titles tell you - Kim Hyun Joong suspected of assaulting girlfriend?

Basically the article is saying how news titles played a big part in leading the readers to what they think is the real 'truth'. Media used word play and suggestive words to mislead readers that the ex-girlfriend is the victim and KHJ did assault her.

The writer did a search on related news and there's hardly any news titles that suggest that KHJ is innocent until proven guilty. (search based on google / yahoo from China/Taiwan/Hongkong/Korea) Different titles presented different 'truth'. Most of the titles, were 'truth' that were deviated from the real truth, analysis shows that the medias' used of titles convicted [3 crimes].

[1st crime]: Ignoring "Innocent until proven guilty", they reported the girl's accusation which has yet been proved as the 'truth'.
In the reports, many article titles left out 'suspected' this word, for eg. [Kim Hyun Joong assaulted girlfriend for 2 months, causing rib fracture], the 'truth' that the title tell you is, Kim Hyun Joong assaulted the girlfriend, has been proven and guilty as charged, but the fact is, police has yet to investigate, and yet to decide if he'll be charged.

[2nd crime]: "Admitted there's physical altercation" became "Admitted to assault/battery", twisted Kim Hyun Joong's statement.
Kim Hyun Joong admitted there's physical altercation once, and definitely not habitual violence, but many titles deviated greatly, for eg. [Kim Hyun Joong admit hitting girlfriend, explained that rib fracture was just horseplay showing no sign of remorse].

[3rd crime]: Character/Personality murder
Media cannot judged the character of the person involved, or even 'murder' the person's character, even if previously the person already has bad record. But with pity, many media are questioning Kim Hyun Joong's statement, for eg. [Play word games claiming physical altercation, Kim Hyun Joong assault girlfriend causing trouble, left country to take refuge]

Another method of 'Character murder', is fabricating rumours. The 2nd day after the case was reported, Kim Hyun Joong left for Thailand for his concert, but media wrote it as he is fleeing the country. Next, he was photographed with a bruised finger in his Thailand concert, and the title is [Kim Hyun Joong assaulted girlfriend, bruised in middle finger revealed clue]. All these are irresponsible connections.

Kim Hyun Joong debut 9 years, has been very hardworking and achieved results, with fans all over the world. From the start of the issue till now, police has yet proven that the girl's words are real, and he is yet a suspect, but the few words from the news titles suggested to the public the 'truth' which is not true, causing his reputation and accomplishment he striven for the past 9 years almost destroyed overnight. Even if one day Kim Hyun Joong is proven as not a habitual abuser, but the damage will not be easily mended.

I wish that I will be able to see you on the same stage again.

[Translation] Kim Hyun Joong Interview on Haru Hana Japanese Magazine Vol.25

[I think a real capable man is one who helps the weak willingly]

He who transformed from a gentle to a tough image, Kim Hyun Joong is back after four years with ‘Inspiring Generation: Birth of the Fighter’ which will be aired in Japan. He plays a loyal and passionate character of Shin Jung Tae, who fights to protect his loved ones.

‘There are many people who carry the gentle image of me in mind, so when I was thinking to show the tough side of me, I met the character, Shin Jung Tae. I showed a more manly and tough side of me in the drama this time and it seemed that I’ve gained the liking from male viewers and audiences of a wide range, I think it was a right decision I chose the drama.’

Just as he said, it has been a hot issue to many up to now when he challenged a completely different from his previous ‘smart prince’ character into a masculine and tough character.

‘Considering all the characters that I have portrayed up to now, maybe my personality was more similar to Shin Jung Tae, I did not give much thought on how I should build up this character. However, I did some research to understand more about Shin Jung Tae. Since it’s important to understand the character first before bringing the character into live, it was actually difficult to imagine how Shin Jung Tae lived in the past only through the scripts. Even from now, I will plan to get enough time to analyse the character thoroughly when a new project comes in.’

Kim Hyun Joong said that he did not specially trained his body to film for the action scenes.

‘I built up my body through either strength training, soccer, golf or scuba diving usually. Non-fan audience might have the thought that I purposely trained my body for the drama, but my fans would know I did not because I often show my body during my live concerts. (laughs)’

Kim Hyun Joong talks about the high appraisal for his acting performance in his crying scene. Similar to the 1930s background suffering from poverty, his appearance seemed to suffer a lot too.

‘Because it was an era where one may not even be able to afford a piece of clothing, so I wore clothes that appeared dirty. As time passed, I got used to it and even wore it during off-filming. It will also look weird to have color-dyed hair in that era so I dyed it black and cropped my hair short too.’
Kim Hyun Joong thinks that Shin Jung Tae is a great character who is able to protect his loved ones with his own hands.

‘It is not an easy task to risk one’s life to protect so many people. I think I would probably give up immediately if I were to face that kind of situation. (laughs) I couldn’t bear to see someone I treasured to pass away in front of me. And I don’t fight too.’
Kim Hyun Joong said he has the same sentiment for few lines in the script.

‘ I agreed with this line and I am determined to live my life diligently too. Also, I feel that a strong person is not one who is physically strong, but one who is willing to lend a helping hand to those weaker than him.’

Kim Hyun Joong have received a lot of appraisals for his acting performance this time. He have garnered many attention in the scene where Jung Tae cried for his father’s death.

‘When you want to express anger, you express through your body language. The feeling of sorrow comes naturally and to express that feeling, you have to feel that way too in order to bring out the emotions. Even if the script wrote , the feeling of sadness wouldn’t be expressed if your tears don’t flow. Although it’s the scriptwriters that create the characters, it’s the actors who create the life for the characters. The acting for that crying scene came out naturally and if you were to ask me how I did it, I really don’t remember. (laughs)’
He have ventured into a new breakthrough this time, what is his thought for his future project?

‘I’ve enjoyed a lot while filming for a period drama and next I want to try a contemporary drama.’

Finally, a message for Japanese fans.

‘It’s always been a thought but I am always grateful towards Japanese fans who always show their undying love for me who am a Korean, who came from a different country. There is only limited things I can do, so I want to repay all of you with songs and dance you love, and work hard on my acting career. Even from now onwards, I hope for your support too!’

More Question

1) What was the most difficult point when filming for the drama?
When I couldn’t return home. It was almost to the extent that I only got to go back home once a week, four times a month. There were also times when I took a short nap in the camping car during off-filming time because I do not have enough sleeping hours. I still remember the time when actors and I warmed ourselves up with the around the fire under the cold weather.

2) When are the moments you think yourself as ‘manly’, ‘Handsome’?
Compared to times when I feel I’m ‘manly’, I feel there were times I feel I’m ‘not manly’ like must I go to the hospital? (laughs) As for ‘handsome’, although there are times I do feel it, I feel shy too. Of course, I feel happy when fans or people around me praise me.
3) What will you do if you have someone like Jung Tae around you?
I don’t really like people who caused a lot of troubles, and if there was someone like this around me, I might get into trouble as well..so no thank you. (laughs). If I have a younger or elder sister who says they want to marry a person like Shin Jung Tae, I will probably disagree. (laughs) A person who leads an extraordinary life may be difficult and people around them might suffer too.

Q: This album consists a variety of genre, is this reflecting Kim Hyun Joong’s genre as well?

• A: Instead of focusing on only one genre, I wanted to try out more varieties of music, with the consideration of what music people would tend to prefer. So, this album have included a whole new different taste of songs.

Q: To end this, please convey your message to Genie users.

• A: To all Genie users, I’ve made my comeback with my new album after a year. Please stay healthy in the hot summer, and please give a lot of your support to ‘Beauty Beauty’ and ‘His Habit’. Let’s fulfil the ‘Miracles of 600KRW’ keke Thank you!

[Rough Translation] Kim Hyun Joong on Take You To The Stars Interview

Jiangsu Satellite TV Program 〈带你看星星〉 on 9 May 2014 – Rough translation of the questions asked to HJ during the program (Part 1)

Q1. Why did you choose to participate in Inspiring Generation?

• HJ: In previous dramas like Boys Over Flowers and Playful Kiss, I had always presented a flower boy and gentle image. But this time I would like to present a more manly image so I chose the drama Inspiring Generation which would allow me to take on new acting challenges as well as present a brand new image to the viewers.

Q2. Since the character Shin Jung Tae had alot of fighting scenes, the MC asked HJ if he had learnt martial arts before.

• HJ: While he has not learnt martial arts per se, given he is a singer he found it easier (compared to others) to learn the fighting movements. More importantly to HJ, he would try to infuse the right emotions in the fight/ blow of the fighting scene. Hence, it was not too difficult for him to do the fighting scenes.

Q3: Since there’s many fighting scenes in IG, female MC asked HJ if he had suffered any injuries.

• HJ: HJ mentioned that there were minor injuries and bruises (and raise his two hands to show the scars/ wounds) but he acknowledged these scars/wounds as “honorary medals”.

Q4: Female MC asked when he ‘suffered’ those injuries while filming a drama, would he have thought that it would be easier being a singer instead.

• HJ: Frankly, acting and singing are two different/ separate fields. People tend to see only the glamorous side of each of them but each field has its own challenges and it is not easy at all. Like now when he is preparing for his new album he would be thinking about acting and would have the desire to go and act. But when he is acting, he would be thinking of becoming a singer and wanted to go and sing instead.

Q5: Female MC asked HJ how did he manage to get to play the role of Yoon Jihoo in the popular drama – Boys Over Flowers.

• HJ: Frankly he was not very sure about it as he did not know about the manga series “Boys over Flowers”. Plus based on his personality he wouldn’t really like such manga series.

 HJ mentioned that he could not understand the character Yoon Jihoo at first as he had little similar experiences as the character. As such, he was not interested and wanted to turn down the offer as he was not confident about it (but the male MC added that others were eager to ‘snatch’ the role!!)

So in the beginning, he would spend time trying to figure out the character such as how the character Jihoo would hold his chopsticks, would he be a left-hander, etc. So he would have many thoughts about it and would do much research. But when he started acting in the drama, without him realizing it, he stopped being ‘Kim Hyun Joong’ and changed into the gentle boy in the drama. From then on, HJ realized that it was possible for him to act out such a character and he began to like acting and realized the charm/ beauty of acting.

Q6: Female MC asked HJ in real life if he was like the character Yoon Jihoo when it comes to love (that is he would protect the girl quietly and suffered in silence).

• HJ: Nope. If it is a girl he likes, he would definitely fight to get her even if he have to fall out with his friends over her!

Q6: Female MC asked HJ given his characters in the drama are gentle and gentlemanly, what would be HJ’s ideal type in real life.

But HJ in his 4D mode asked her back if she was asking about his ideal type for man or woman!! (LOL)

• HJ: For male friends, HJ dislikes people who are not transparent and tend to have something to hide. Be it over a fight or over drinks, he would prefer people who will trash it out and settle the matter once and for all.

As for his ideal type of woman, he mentioned that she must be able to drink well and would like him and him only.

The male MC said that given HJ’s good capacity for drinking, he would probably be able to drink all night till dawn so it would be very difficult to find such woman who could keep him company by matching up to him! But HJ mentioned that it would still be important to have the determination to try!

[Translation] Kim Hyun Joong Watch Concerts Alone?

Kim Hyun Joong revealed that he usually go to concerts alone to 'get out' of his drama character

"Recently I went to Nell's concert alone. I came to divert my mind / feelings (after the drama ended) but instead I felt down even more because it was a very emotional concert.I usually attend concerts frequently. I also really like it when I watched Im Jae Bum's concert by myself. Especially in such case like Nell's concert, it seems better to watch it alone. I couldn't share my emotions with the people I know. I'd also be embarassed to show myself being soaked in my emotions."

Kim Hyun Joong also said he came to the concerts alone even without being accompanied by his manager.
"Wouldn't I be recognized by the people around? It's alright. The concerts that I went to are concerts where people gathered to hear music, so they focused on that."

Q: What's the specific difference between being an actor & a singer to you?

• HJ: "A singer will get feedbacks (on his performance) immediately on the stage. For that short time, I worked hard for a long time repeating the same movements. But an actor will belatedly receive feedbacks for his own acting. I think that's the difference, and both of them have different sensations of joy. A singer can do self-evaluation at that instant, but an actor has to wait for a bit more time until the feedbacks came back to do self-evaluation. During that waiting time I feel worried and I feel my heart racing."KHJ also explained the plans for his activities as a musician."I plan to go for a a world tour starting with Korea in June. It's not confirmed yet but it seems like I'll visit quite a lot of places. A new album also could come out before that, I think it'll be by the World Cup. With not much time left, I'll give my all for the album.I want to enjoy the upcoming World Cup with chicken and beer. Actually I'm a really big fan of soccer. So this for album also, I'm considering to have it match the World Cup a bit. I want to do a music that makes people able to gather, have fun & feel good as they listen to it, even after it leaves the album chart rankings."

HANGUL

온통 네 생각에 

하루를 또 그냥 보내다가

멍하니 눈물 삼키고

미칠 것 같아서 한참을 달려

숨이 터져라 널 불러 

매일 곁에서

널 보며 지키고 싶은 맘 

오늘 하루 종일 들려 주고픈 말

oh

너를 사랑한다 

사랑한다 말을 해도 

미워한다 미워한다 말을 해도

듣고 있니 음

넌 곁에 없는데 

오늘 지나면 내일은 오는지 

밤은 다가오는데 

말해 줄래요 말해 줄래요 

오늘 지나면 그땐 

가끔 나도 겁이나 

기나긴 여행 다 

지쳐 버려 나를 놓을까 

제발 날 잡아줘요 

매일 곁에서 

널 보며 지키고 싶은 맘 

들리나요 그댄 지금 어디에 

너를 사랑한다 

사랑한다 말을 해도 

미워한다 미워한다 말을 해도 

듣고 있니 음

넌 곁에 없는데 

오늘 지나면 내일은 오는지 

밤은 다가오는데 

오늘 지나면 오늘 지나면

아픔이 끝나가면 

하루가 너무 길어서 

그대를 놓칠까 봐서 

오늘이 오늘이 지나면 

너를 사랑한다 

사랑한다 말을 해도 

미워한다 미워한다 말을 해도 

늘 곁에 있는데 

오늘 지나면 내일이 올텐데 

날 알아 줬으면 

오늘 지나면 

오늘 지나면

ENGLISH

I just spent an entire day, thinking only about you

Blankly swallowing tears

I ran for a while because I felt like going crazy

I call out to you on the top of my lungs

I want to be by your side and protect you every day

Words I want to say to you all day

I say that I love you, I love you

I say that I hate you, I hate you

Are you listening?

You’re not next to me

When today passes, will tomorrow come?

Night is coming

Will you tell me, will you tell me

When today passes?

Sometimes, I get scared

That you will get tired of this long trip and let go of me

Please hold onto me

I want to be by your side and protect you every day

Can you hear me? Where are you right now?

I say that I love you, I love you

I say that I hate you, I hate you

Are you listening?

You’re not next to me

When today passes, will tomorrow come?

Night is coming

When today passes, when today passes, when the pain ends

A day is so long

That I’m afraid I’ll lose you

When today passes

I say that I love you, I love you

I say that I hate you, I hate you

I’m always by your side

When today passes, tomorrow will come

If only you would know

When today passes

When today passes

[Translation] Kim Hyun Joong's "Do You Know Me?" Interview

An interview of Kim Hyun Joong titled "Do You Know Me?"

Reporter (R): You seem to have been showing a more masculine side of you like today for sometime now.

• KHJ: I wanted to be more "manly" before and thought that I was manly at that time. But, come to think of it, it was more like a child trying to emulate manliness. Now I don't necessarily do that anymore. Time passes and you naturally become a man. That's what crosses my mind nowadays. 

R: You turn 29 in the year 2014. Is it already the time to talk about passing of time?

• KHJ: My friends all had that manly look at age 24. I am rather a little late since I have a baby face (laugh).

R: I see that the role you took for this upcoming drama has that masculine character.

• KHJ: I don't particularly try to perform my role in a manly way anymore. My tone of voice is lower which makes my lines show masculinity. I don't force acting but perform the role as is which ends up broadening my range of emotions. As I age there are more parts that I can express. Overall, all is good in many ways now. What's inside of me became more diverse, and it's nice to take it out one at a time.

R: Then what do you take out most often this time?

• KHJ: This project/drama will become something that will unravel things I've felt and experienced. Memories about the fights, misunderstandings, conflicts with friends will be unraveled here. If I "pretend" it will become more awkward. 

R: How is it working with the actresses?

• KHJ: I don't know about Jin Sae-Yeon for I haven't done anything with her yet. I like Soo-hyang because she's easygoing. She is not that feminine and straightforward. 

R: Your fans in China would be happy when you get there.

• KHJ: Would they? Haha By the way, I'm planning on being more active in regards to my Weibo (a chinese SNS). My agency asked to post more photos to generate more followers. Haha 

R: Does the romanticist character suit you?

• KHJ: Romanticist....I don't know it very well. Sounds like protecting someone by being loyal? It's not as if the present era is the Jeosun Dynasty. To be honest, I don't think one can find that many "romanticists" in our generation. People tend to date often casually. Of course, I know the feel of a "romanticist," but I don't think it'll be easy to portray what the authors will write.

R: What are you going to do then? This project is presented as an "emotional, romantic noir."

• KHJ: It is packaged that way. haha I think it is more of a period drama. It's rather closer to the drama "The Wild generation" that was very popular some time ago. When this is compared often to "The Wild Generation," it makes me feel good to be compared to such a wonderful drama.

R: Is there any pressure about this being a big project?

• KHJ: No. I don't care more just because the production costs 15 billion Won or care less because it costs 3 billion Won. Really..I don't. I don't know since when but it's become "It is what it is."

R: Then, is filming site comfortable?

• KHJ: It is always uncomfortable, not to mention many restrictions, but it's fun. I think it's because of the good actors...what you might call an "ensemble." The things I haven't felt before such as working together and asking each other "did you eat yet?" make me feel like a part of the team. That's what I like. Once you are stuck together somewhere in the country, you have no choice but to get to know each other.

R: So, could we expect to see some romantic scenes in this drama? To tell you the truth, there were many scenes that were too over-the-top lovey-dovey in the past dramas. For example, you whispered a line "I can go anywhere with a white cloth and the wind" in Boys Over Flowers.

• KHJ: The lines are more realistic now so it's easier to act. To be honest, I've only been fighting mostly, so there was no time to do romantic scenes. 

R: Then, are you fighting well?

• KHJ: Yes. I'm having fun(?). I find that getting beat up makes feel better than hitting someone.

R: It sounds like your upcoming China shooting will be fun.

• KHJ: It was originally scheduled for a month but looks like we'll be staying for only 2 weeks, which makes it more difficult. But, I'm looking forward to it a lot. The Hong Kong actor, Jackie Chan, is filming there currently at our Chinese filming set. I heard he bought the set to shoot a film. It's going to be fun to shoot the drama as well as see Jackie Chan.

R: You have many fans already and that would generate even more fans. How does it feel to know that there are many people all over the world who watches your every move? You even made the cover of a South American magazine.

• KHJ: Feels good. I had concerts in Japan this past October, and there were many fans greeting me, making me happy. But honestly, the overseas fans don't really know me well. They like Ji-hoo from Boys over Flowers, not me (My 2 cents...dear KHJ, you are so wrong about that...lol). I saw that those fans couldn't get used to what I did there. When I danced in the countries I visited for the first time, they would say "Ji-hoo is dancing well." They know I'm a singer but because it's their first time seeing me that way, they are taken aback. Not to mention, I'm physically more fit than when I was in Boys Over Flowers.

R: You know that's how it starts. First, people fall for the looks, then searches for the projects you were previously involved in.

• KHJ: I get that. First of all, you have the language barrier (laugh). Wouldn't it be similar to my liking Miranda Kerr but almost knowing nothing about her personality? It begins that way, and you start getting to know his/her inside which leads to attraction.

R: That's right. Somehow, first impressions do affect how good a feeling you have on someone.

• KHJ: I consider the first impression very important. Most of the time, if I get "a bad vibe" from the beginning, I end up not hitting it off with the person in the end.

R: That's what people call "good at reading people." I guess you are like that.

• KHJ: Not really. I don't tend to trust people easily but can get a good vibe from good people. For example, Dalhwan-hyung is someone I'm filming with these days, and I had a good vibe about him only after exchanging a few words. I don't drink with people who don't see eye to eye with me, and Dalhwan-hyung and I hit it off when we drank together. I found out that he also likes traveling alone, and we have a same set of values in various ways.

R: Haha. You are a well-know drinker in the showbiz, but looks like it's difficult to have a drink with you since the first impression screens who can drink with you.

• KHJ: I dislike drinking in uncomfortable situations the most. That's because I enjoy drinking and don't want to ruin those good times by being uncomfortable.

R: What's your limit?

• KHJ: 4 bottles of soju. I used to like only soju but learned to like the taste of hard liquor and wine a bit. I honestly didn't know the taste of alcohol before. But now I feel like I'm beginning to know the taste.

R: I started with the looks and got side tracked to drinking. So, I didn't get to ask you what I really wanted to. Are people as good looking as you happy with their looks?

• KHJ: I'm content. Of course, there are so many good looking people out there. Leonardo DiCaprio comes to mind right now. I like myself just the way I am.

R: However, you are not just some good looking star...a bit on the 4D side..

• KHJ: I guess I just live my life carefree...haha I don't concern myself with the way how others might look at me and do what I want to do. That's how I can live freely without restrictions.

R: I hear when you work you should put most emphasis on what you want to do. What is it that you really want to do?

• KHJ: Of course acting and singing. Also, I want to ride my bicycle and travel the whole country, enter a triathlon, and get a certificate for sailing. When I get older, I want to open a scuba shop in Jeju-do, not for money but as a hobby. 

R: You can't always do what you want. What do you do to get rid of the stress when that happens?

• KHJ: Do whatever you want to do except the things you can't do.

R: Does that include dating among the things you want to do?

• KHJ: Dating...not so much. These days I don't have anyone I like that much. I like someone who can talk well but not always serious at the same time. You know one of those people who is a pleasure to be around. I like people like Tak Jae-hoon.

R: You're known for "giving it all" when you date. If you do date again, are you ready to do that?

• KHJ: Yes. I should "give it all." If I love the person, how could I not?

R: But then, it would hurt that much more when you break up.

• KHJ: You deal with it then. If you think about this and that, it will only get you a headache. I am more like "let's do what's due today and do what's due tomorrow." It's a bit weird to say this but I might not even be here tomorrow due to an unfortunate event. Therefore, enjoy as much as you can today.

R: You sound like your motto is still "You only live once."

• KHJ: Yes. Only live once. I don't want to live my life worrying. I want to enjoy my life doing what's appropriate for a 20 year old when I'm 20 years old and doing what's appropriate for a 30 year old when I'm 30 years old. Let's say you work day and night until you turn 40 and 50 to save money. And then saying at age 50 "Now that I've saved enough, I should play soccer" won't make it actually happen.

R: The questions have been short answer questions, but they are funny and funny some more. However, there is philosophy in them.

• KHJ: I guess it's because I'm quick tempered. It's what I decided to do so what's the point in sulking? We will only get on each other's nerves. Since we are doing it we might as well do it cheerfully and quickly.

R: It's difficult to do that with dramas.

• KHJ: You gotta wait. That's not something you can do on your own. Everything else that is under my power, I do it quickly and in a fun way.

R: Sounds like it's a fun way to live.

• KHJ: There will be more fun things after the interview.

R: Really? I hear you are headed to Young-wal for filming after this. Haha

• KHJ: It will be fun in between. All right..a deal! Shall we do just three more questions as last questions?

R: Then I want to make a deal as well. You ask and answer your own questions.

• KHJ: What I want to say is about my plans hereafter. When I'm done with The Age of Emotions, I plan on doing a drama and a movie in a row. Then I'll be gone (everyone burst into laughter). This is about all I will say.... move on.

R: What's your second one?

• KHJ: It's about my goal. I want to challenge myself doing a movie. The one in which I don't necessarily have to be a leading man. You know the kind of role that doesn't fit me, a strong character. Even if it's for a little bit I want to appear as a psychopath in a thriller. A more practical goal is to take on a role of a character who's rich, so I may shoot the drama in warmth unlike the one in The Age of Emotions. That character is financially challenged so I'm physically having a hard time (Everyone bursts into laughter once again). I'm so cold nowadays.

R: Your third one?

• KHJ: Yes...I have another goal. I plan to enter a triathlon in July of 2014 (speaking while looking at his manager) with my manager's younger sibling. Haha It's something I really want to do at least once in my life. I've seen a video clip some time ago about a father who tried to make his son's wish come true, so he prepared special equipment, ended up finishing the triathlon together. After watching it, I said to myself that I should challenge myself in doing it. It was very moving. you should watch it.

R: Yes. Will do. Okay..I will finish up with the last question. When will be The Age of Emotions for Kim Hyun Joong who has debuted 10 years ago?

• KHJ: Hmm. Not here yet. I once said in an interview that when the 10 year anniversary hits, I would throw a free concert for my fans. I want to keep that promise. But realistically speaking, it's gotta be a smaller place, right? Let's do it at the Floating Island center near the River Han. It looked pretty available. Haha!

Reporter: His self-interview ended with the triathlon. The triathlon talking Kim Hyun Joong was unfamiliar to me just like the overseas fans who said "Ji-hoo sunbae is dancing." Come to think of it, Kim Hyun Joong constantly shows himself but the public might have been seeing only what they wanted to see. It's been 9 years since his debut, and Kim Hyun Joong is going forward toward "The Age of Emotions" one step at a time.
