.bye bye gift.

Bye. bye. I'm leaving. I don't have what it takes to maintain this site anymore which is passion. I'm sorry. and thanks for supporting me all this while. as a goodbye gift here's a special gallery, consisting of many pictures of Hoonie. hope you enjoy them ^^

if you're not comfortable browsing the many pictures through this small, narrow site, go here
*LINK REMOVED*

pictures are found all over the internet; forums,blogs, dclily etc. I remember at that time when I was so crazy on Hoonie I was like saving every image I found and moreover grouping them in folders for certain/different photoshoot. so the pictures under the cut is mostly grouped i.e related photos are together. it was quite a hardwork having them match together I remember I was just so crazy at that time.

you can share this compilation anywhere you want using the picture I provided. a simple credit will be nice ^^

John Hoon’s interesting record of the convention's day.

2006-06-30T17:36:00.004+08:00

Thanks to Hika, for providing the Japanese text. It's from the fanclub section of Hoonie's official Japanese site.
Forgive me if i did wrong in translating somewhere... afterall i still need the help of the lovely Kanji dictionary ^__^
note: the convention here I believed was the one on 23rd June

John Hoon’s interesting record of the convention's day.
1. The night before, he couldn’t sleep because of nervousness (besides wanting to watch soccer). He was awake every 1 hour.
2. When he thought he can finally get some sleep, he dreamt of lightning! (the place, is in Korea. That person was in a crowd, suddenly a lightning struck *sounds effect* . Suddenly the earth shaken… he thought it must be an earthquake… and ran away as quick as he can)
3. His shirt became wet due to excessive sweating

As for the picture, this is before he went to that nervous stage
And this is when he succeed(?)
(zaza:I believe there are pictures that originally accompanied the original text)

This one is hillarious XD omg that was cute. Is it really a bad bad nightmare that he sweated a lot.. omg LOL.

Okay, I translated something from Jung Hoon's Official Japanese Site.... it's from the fanclub section. No, I don't have direct access to it. But dear Hika do, and she's the one sending the extract to me ^___^ Thanks her.

I believe the text is related to the convention he had on 23rd June in Japan.

The very first sentence is today's meal.. I believe it's like the... uhmm... title/topic. It doesn't really make full sense... but maybe half? Since the texts also have quiet an amount of other things besides food ^^

Today’s meal

In the morning, John Hoon woke up feeling 'strange' (zaza: I believe it has something to do with nervousness) he'll be having an activity (referring to convention 3).
However, despite the tension and nervousness, he woke up quickly and head to work quickly.　

(zaza: here it said something about ramen and sushi but I couldn’t grasp the exact meaning)

After arriving, directly went for rehearsal
Then went to meet the record company’s staff .
After that, having rehearsal one more time,
along with MC’s arrangement.
After that, went to do hair. (actually John Hoon had a photoshoot in Japan a week before, at that time he had a cut. but because his hair grow longer so quickly he had a haircut again)
After doing the hair,
we called a so-called tasty shop just to know that it’s going bankrupt.
John-Hoon laughed hysterically. (zaza: I love how this guy looks when hysterically laughing XD)
Then, we hurrily bought beef bowl from a nearby beef bowl shop, and John Hoon ate it hurrily.
After that, decided on clothes, then make up.
Nervousnous piled up. Gave the lyrics a last check, everyone (staffs) sang together.
Then came the real performance, John Hoon tried his best on the stage delivering 2 songs.
The performance ended. And we went to a tasty shop in Ginza. (zaza: It said ‘a tshop in Ginza’, and I believe it means they went there I hope I’m not wrong)

Cool's Light Music (Chinese Magazine) Interview

Translated by: Hikabear @ kimjunghoonlub / Hikari @ Soompi (with help from her friend)

Lily means --> pure, high class, rich, elegant..

Cool: firstly, please introduce to everyone what activities you are here for today
JH: Today, I'm here to promote (comics) manga and meet with the fans. Have a chat with everyone, answer any questions, play games etc~ its a very fun activity! Because I like to read comics too!!

Cool: I heard at university you learnt chinese, is that true? Can you introduce yourself in chinese to everyone please?
JH: hmm at university I have studied chinese, but only a little. Thats because it was too hard so I gave up, now I can only do some simple introduction "Hello everyone. My name is Kim Jung Hoon, Thank you!"

Cool: After today, are you going to keep focusing on singing or continue acting? Whats the difference and meaning for you for those two?
JH: I've been a singer for 5-6 years, lately I find acting very interesting, its every attractive career to me, and I've put a lot of work into it. If in the future there are good roles for me, I will keep going. Of course I wont give up singing either, where theres a chance, I will always do it.

Cool: Whats your future career gonna be? When are you going to release your own album?
JH: At the moment, haven't really planned for anything, like I’ve mentioned before, if theres any chance I can perform, I’ll do my best to do them no matter its in China, Japan or Korea.

Cool: Whats is the charcter that you wanted to perform or be the most at the moment?
JH: In the drama (Palace/Goong), I have the role as a prince, because I’ve been that charcter already, I really want to try to be like a begger or like someone not so special. I think it would be interesting and I'm sure it will bring some interesting roles for the fans to see.

Cool: Have you ever regret giving up being a dentist?
JH: If I regret that decision then I wont have given it up, coz theres no point of regreting it. Besides my acting career is doing very well, so theres no feeling of regret.

Cool: Family, friends or lover, least from most important to least to you?
JH: My 1st priority is definitely family, because if theres no family, there wont be me here today. Then next would be friends and lover. If I ever meet my true love, then maybe she will be the priority of my friends (smile).
(Hika - Jung Hoon I'm right here!! =3)

Cool: Have you ever visited the fan sites set up by the Chinese fans? At the moment, have you ever thought of setting up your own official site for China?
JH: I haven't yet visited, but I’ve heard of it for a long time. If I have chance, I’ll definitely visit all the fansites setup up by Chinese fans. Because I can't speak Chinese well, so I might need to first understand the language before I do visit. Thanks very much for Chinese fans caring me so much.
(Hika - your english speaking fans love you too!! Hopes he learns english soon =3 but then he could learn how perverted some of us are *snickers, points to telly* )

Cool: Do you ever consider to expanding your career to China?
JH: None at the moment, because the company in Japan arranged me a lot of activities that I need to participate in, and I don’t plan those activities. But I'm sure not long in the future there will be activities held in China, so everyone please wait for the good news to come!! Im very lookin forward to meet everyone in China!!
(Hika - Jung Hoon I'll see you in Japan soon~ please wait for me!!)

Cool: If you have chance to come to China, which city would you want to go the most? A few years ago you came to Shanghai to model for a fashion show, whats your impression of Shanghai last time?
JH: Last time I visited Shanghai and also visited Beijing, I ate lots of chinese dishes. I find most Chinese dishes are quite fatty and I'm quite surprised that theres not many fat people around, most people have very good bodies and figures. I cant tell the difference between Chinese and Korean as well. I really liked Shanghai, it gave me a very good impression back then!! And I'm lookin forward to visit again!!

Cool: What are your views of Chinese girls? And what type of girls do you like?
JH: I rarely see Chinese girls, and for my own view, I think Chinese girls are very hardworking, they seem like they can do everything and survive on their own. I like more of ordinary girls, someone who can understand me and endure everything with me, and also she need to be very easy going! And she cant be taller than me (smile)
(Hika - Haha, he really does have a complex about his height XD)

Cool: Just wondering, when your at work, how much sleep do you usually get?
JH: when I was filming or participating in activities, often I don’t get enough sleep, so busy that probably I only get 5 hour sleep on average I guess.

Cool: If you have chance, would you act in Chinese dramas or movies?
JH: If I act in Chinese drama, it might be bit hard to do, because I cant speak Chinese, but if theres a good charcter that interesting and fits me, then of course I will do my best to do it, hopefully I have this type of chance soon.

Cool: You know that theres a lot of Chinese fans in China?? Just before we end this, what would you like to say to them?
JH: I am very surprised and glad to have so much fans in China. Hopefully I will meet the fans in China soon, and I will definitely do my best and bring you guys lots of new stuff and performances, thanks everyone.

Presenting the pictures taken by John Hoon!

On 23rd June, my Japanese debut was announced at the opening of a convention.
After the rehearsal came to an end, I changed clothes and that clothes I changed to, felt tightened!
After wearing the clothes, I took pictures of the clothes, shoes and accessories I’ve worn.

My pictures were on the recording company's wall.
This is my new appearance, it can be said as that... maybe. It's a little different than my image back there in Korea.

Presenting the pictures taken by John Hoon!

This is the beg I brought/carry when I went to Japan.
It contains clothes, handphone and manga (comic, in Japanese).
While waiting, I played 'trump' (playing cards)!
I asked staff to take picture (of me playing cards).
Taken too (in the picture), was my hands!!

This is clothes. At a fashion mag photoshoot in Japan, I took a moment to take a photo.
I am really not fussy or particular about fashion, but
(Actually, I frequently/mostly wear sportswear, usually)
because I thought it's an important thing to present myself with good impression,
I consulted staffs and stylist, and decided on that outfit.

20060605-09 Happy FM Star Music Blog - Kim Jung Hoon

Basically Star Music Blog is a corner for guest artist to recommend and air song, based on their preference. Something like that. So Jung Hoon participated for 5 days, from 5th-9th June 2006. Thanks to heartmonster for gicing permission to post her translation here ^^

Translation (from Chinese translation) by : Heartmonster @ Soompi

20060605
Hello, I am Kim Jung Hoon.
Starting today through Friday, these five days, I will be spending my time with everyone on Music Blog.
I hope everyone can pass through a happy time together.
Because today is the first weekday, to the people who doesn't want to go to work,
I hope after listening to this program, your mood will become happier.
What song do I have to introduce today?
He is a really good singer.
When we were in Japan, I wasn't that familiar with many stars
But this person has always treated me like a real younger brother. He is Shin Seung Hoon.
Because he had released an album in Japan earlier and also because our relationship is really good, I hope everyone will listen to Shin Seung Hoon's song.
In Korea, Shin Seung Hoon is also the king of soothing songs (something like that). Alot of people likes his emotional voice.
So how was it like releasing a new album in Japan. As the themesong for a drama, I personally also really like this song, so let's listen to this song.
I hope everyone likes Kim Jung Hoon and supports Shin Seung Hoon's new album.
What kind of person is Shin Seung Hoon? We will talk more about him tomorrow at the same time.

20060606
We are here together again today at this time.
So how is Shin Seung Hoon's song? We have already listened to it.
Today we will continue to bring you some good songs.
I certainly love this song. Most importantly is that our company's room manager (not sure how to exactly translate that) hopes to hear this song on the radio.
In a previous drama, Son Ye Jin was listening to this song while crying.
Our manager is also deeply moved by this song. He said we must listen to it on the radio.
But in my opinion, I just think he likes Son Ye Jin.
No matter what, this is a gift to him.
The second day's song is 盧玄貞's (sorry I don't know who it is) Thank you.
In one of my previous albums, I also had a song called Thank You, but I can't play it right now.
Now let's listen to Thank You. To those who had watched the drama, may you remisce the drama while listening to the song. See you tomorrow!

20060607
Hello, I am Kim Jung Hoon.
Today, hm... I really am crying while I listen to this song.
Although Goong has ended, the OST is really good.
Out of all of the songs, I like to sing this song the most.
Because my role is somewhat sad and is melancholy, I think this type of song really matches me.
Yoon Eun Hye's Chae Gyung role was always accompanied by this song
so today I will show everyone this song.
This is Stay's 'Dangshieun...na neun pahboh imnida'.
When I first listened to the song, I didn't have the same feeling as I do now.
But as I listen on, the lyrics are good and the feel to the song is also really good. It matches Stay's voice.
When I was filming and watching the drama, this song left a deep impression on me.
This song is sang by a newcomer. I'm not really familiar with this singer.
But with a really good voice, Stay's Dangshieun...na neun pahboh imnida.
I will let everyone enjoy it now!

20060608
Hello, I am Kim Jung Hoon.
It is Thursday night and it is once again song recommendation time.
First of all, recently alot of different styles of songs are well appreciated by everyone,
Like R&B, Hip Hop, etc. Alot of people like them.
Of course I like them too, but I also like calm/soothing and rock songs.
There hasn't been many songs like that recently so I always listen to old songs.
The voice of today's singer is very fresh.
It probably isn't a new song, because I haven't been listening to many songs recently
So to me, it could be a new song.
This is Kim Gun Mo's 'Love Until the End' (not sure of title).
It is definately a really sad song.
But for those who are heartbroken and sad, let us listen to this song.
I prepare for you guys, Kim Gun Mo's Love Until the End.
I will see you tomorrow.

20060609
Hello, I am Kim Jung Hoon.
It has been Kim Jung Hoon's Music Blog from Monday to Friday and we have been together for all five days.
Today is the last day and we will allow everyone to listen to the best song.
Today is myself, this isn't used for propaganda. I just want to let those who haven't heard of it yet to hear the song.
UN's 'Goodbye & Best' album is actually the last one.
So I want everyone to listen to UN's Best album today.
This song talks about the mood and feelings of a man in army.
Although this song has nothing to do with army, you get that same feeling after you sing it.
Therefore after listening to this song, some people might be somewhat sad.
But I just think it is a good song, I really like it.
This is from UN's Best album, 'You Often Appear in Teardrops'.
That is today's Kim Jung Hoon Music Blog's song reccommendation, I hope everyone will listen.
I don't know whether you think the five days here in Music Blog is interesting or not.
There are many good songs out there and I hope everyone continues to listen to Happy FM.
I guarantee everyone that I will once again appear with a new image.
So for now, I will temporarily say goodbye to everyone.
I hope everyone will always be healthy and have a good dream tonight, goodbye!

This is my bag.
But he truth is, I hardly put much thought in fashion (he probably talked about brand)..
Things that I always carry around is.. for example,
Manga, manga, manga?

Lol, is he really soooo into manga? Remember his 2nd entry I translated earlier about the bag he used when he went to Japan contains manga? funny I find this as cute =P

"manga, manga and manga?" XD

*This is my family’s recently bought van (literally translated to now, this is my family’s vehicle/car we just changed to)
(It’s my seat in the picture).
**撮影中はほぼこの車で過ごしてます。　テレビのお陰でほっとできるひと時を送ってます。(This 2 last sentence basically said something about the car in the midst of photographing?And last one it talked about the television at the back of the van. I couldn’t clearly make out what they really mean, so, sorry =P this is all I can type)

Edit
*I might be wrong in translating this. 'Ie' can mean either house or family. Either the real meaning is 'this is a newly entered/appeared van into my house' or 'the family's van'.
**possible translation: I almost passed this car while i was taking photos. The TV behind me, i'm relieved i'll be able to spend time [watching] it (thanks to puddle)

KJH interview on 23rd May 2006 FM Inkigayo

2006-05-25T15:00:00.000+08:00

KJH interview on 23rd May 2006 FM Inkigayo

It's not a full translation but basically what are being said in the the interview. I love this guy to death!

By: Telly @ kimjunghoonlub (entry link)

so, a fan asks jung hoon: "does having a pretty face have a negative effect when you play/choose your roles?"

jung hoon answers: "it has its upside, but sometimes, when the role acquires a rougher face, then it is something i'd have to overcome. [hence, the moustache for drama city] that's why actors have to try hard and be flexible enough to play different roles. sometimes, actors purposely gain or lose weight, in order to show different aspects of themselves. i for one, work out three to four times a week. however, because i like eating so much, my diet hasn't been successful yet, hehe."

a more interesting thing is, during his time with UN, he used to call himself piggy. [he wasn't that fat though! oh well] he had to shed off a few pounds for goong, and then after filming, he got so thin and sickly because of the stomach virus, which lasted a month.

he also mentions on the program that he doesn't like his forehead, because it's too wide, and it definitely makes him look younger than he is. he adds that he doesn't like looking too young or too girly, and right now, he's trying to have a more masculine look, which could explain the moustache he has for his current drama city project.

By: Rxgoodleaf @ soompi

JH has complex about his appearance...

1, Thinks he has very wide/big forehead... "I don't like showing my forehead. I don't get short haircut because of that. Having short haircut makes me look too young."

2, Thinks he has big nostrils... "I don't like it when they do closeup from lower angle." When the host joked that he also has big nostrils and gets snowflakes into his nose, JH said, "I get it, too!" biggrin.gif

3, Thinks he is short... "Since I worked with Choi Jung Won and Joo Ji Hoon who are both very tall, I think I am developing a complex."

JH's ideal woman?
Song Yoon Ah (of Hotelier)... JH said that she is very cosmopolitan... sophisticated looking..

JH said he had hard time in the biginning of Goong because he was nervous due to lack of experience...

JH joked that in the beginning, "All I did was smile... with yellow hair. You know sucksoo (literally translated rotten smile)." Edit: I am not sure if it's seekso or sucksoo... couldn't hear it very well... either way I think it's slang for smiling a lot... ^^

He talks about how the director got upset with him after 7-8 NGs of particularly long speaking scene... "The mood on the set was so bad, I thought I was going get hit." It was made difficult because the line had been changed from the original script. "It was totally changed. I didn't see it until I got to the set."

Mystery caller section:

Apparently JH likes to go out for drinks with friends a lot... he pays for the drinks most of the time... after 30 minutes of drinking, he usually falls asleep! LOL

And the mytery caller was Jang Dong Min (comedian)!

Listener's question section:

JH's most memorable line from Goong?

"I'll still wait for you then." When Chae Young told him that even after 2005 years she would still choose Shin over Yul...

"I am not very good with money. My Mom manages my money, not that I have a lot or anything. When I make some money, the first thing I think about is buying something good to eat! I don't think about saving and stuff. That's really bad."

His original career choice was engineering... "I wanted to either teach or do research (in Engineering). That was my dream since Junior High. I had to change it when I was applying for college... it's a long story and I don't think we have enough time."

Fog Street Review

2006-05-25T14:59:00.000+08:00

Fog Street - Review
By: Zaza

*SPOILER ALERT*

I can say it's a decent one shot drama, the plot is interesting, the acting was decent, the background music choice was great. A guy fall in love with a girl who sleepwalks in the dawn, doesn't that enough to intrigue us to watch it? at least for me putting aside Jung Hoon as the actor. Yoon Soo played by Jung Hoon is helping his brother to deliver newspaper and bumped into Jung hyo in the park without knowing she suffers sleepwalking. They meet several time in the park and he eventually fall in love with her. She has a boyfriend, and she doesn't remember anything between her and Yoon Soo while she sleepwalks. Isn't that sad? He then learnt about her disease.
Jung Hyo sleepwalks so she couldn't remember and she couldn't realize her love which is Yoon Soo because she's sleeping all the way. "We search for that one true love of our life, but in between we fall asleep", a caption from the official synopsis of 'fog street'. I love the relation of this caption and the episode. The story have a deep meening and that's what it want to deliver, the caption itself.... in between searching for true love we fall asleep. I'm glad that she wakes up from the sleep and realize the love. I always like a deep drama because they amazed me with how they creatively portray something out of a belief or saying. And 'fog Street' is not an exception.
My favourite quote of the episode is,

Yoon Soo:
Some remember the moment as a dream,
at least dream the dream for me,
I don't mind if you don't remember me,
if this is your dream....,
if I...., if I can appear in your dream,
I don't mind if you don't remember me.
And... please don't wake up from this dream.

One thing I'm dissapointed at is the duration. I know it's made for a one shot slot, but I believe the story development as well as the caharacter development will be better as a series, maybe a special 3-4 episodes series? So the characters have spaces to develop their character and essentially the love that's blooming between the two main character can be felt even more effectively. I seriously believe it can be better with more episodes, but as a one shot drama the director did a good job despite the limited spaces to develop the story. It's not his choice, it's a drama city slot afterall. I'm happy that it has a happy ending but without an obvious reason I'm not too fond with the ending style. But I have to say this out loud, Jung Hoon is so HOT under the rain XD.
As for the acting, I'm satisfied with the cast. First being a big Jung Hoon fan myself I might be heavily biased, but I like the acting of the actress and Jung Hyo's boyfriend acting as well. At a time you can feel a Yul inside Yoon Soo, maybe because of that sad eyes and the sad hopeless vibe he brought out. And especially his smirk and the way he talk to his brother at the beginning of 'Fog Street' did remind me heavily of Yul, Jung Hoon's character in Goong. Overall he did a good job tackling the character, but i believe he can do better and I hope he'll improve as he get more acting jobs after this. He's afterall a beginer in acting career putting aside his sitcom appearance in his UN days. As for the actress, I was not too fond of her when I first watched the trailer, but surprisingly she did good as Jung Hyo and she can be cute especially when she's a blurry sleeping Jung Hyo. I started to like her as I watch the episode.
Another good thing in 'Fog Street' is the background music. The music piece of 'Waltz #2 from Jazz Suite Album by Dmitri Shostakovich is so beautiful. Other music pieces used in 'Fog Street' besides Waltz #2 are also beautiful. I believe music plays an important part in making a great movie/drama other than the acting and storyline. And Fog Street was equipped with good musics.
I'm expecting more but overall it's a decent episode with a deep beautiful meaning behind the storyline, and that's what make it a memorable one.

I did a translation of an Mnet Japan Clip, about Goong will be broadcasted in Japan thingy. I didn't translate the texts in the clip though, translated just what Jung Hoon been saying, (thanks for the Japanese subs *teehee*)

By: Zaza

Annyeonghaseyo. I'm Kim Jung hoon. I heard a good news, MNet Japan will broadcast Goong in Japan, nationwide, bringing minnasama... Goong to be watched. I feel happy. It's because this is my first important appearance in a drama. I'm looking forward to it, I really hope minnasan will enjoy it. And.. mmm.. then.. please give a good watch (might be incorrect translation). It's coming to Minnasan in Japan soon. Please give Goong lots of love. Kim Jung Hoon too, please give him love. *in Japanese* I'm asking for Minnasama's love.

If you've watched the video (available at the media section), aww he's so cute. After telling the viewers to give Goong lots of love... he paused a bit,.... lowering his voice, ....giving a sexy stare at the camera.. seducting viewers with his really soft voice "Kim Jung Hoon too, please give him love." XD OMG I love this guy.

Q. How were you feeling being casted in the drama?
I'm a singer and being in Goong is my first major acting in a drama, playing a prince from original manga, I was quite pressured at the beginning. How do I perform? I worried so much. But everyone helped me, giving me much love that made me think I need to deliver a good performance.

Q. You're studying the new field and at the same time having shooting. What is the degree of satisfaction?
I played Yul who is a person with multi personality and because of that part there was quite a pressure.　Yul at the beginning was someone very kind, love to laugh and smile but later in the drama he started to become the bad person. He became bad to the extent he can be hated, that worried me but while acting I managed to understand Yul, everyone also started not to only hate him but try to understand him、and because of that I'm relieved.

Q. How is the life of imperial family? And what do you feel when knowing that Goong will be broadcasted in other country?
As known Korea don't have imperial　Family.　It's enviable that Japan, England has their own imperial family so being able to enter into an imperial family at the setting it feels　wonderful And interesting.　But so many rules make it uncomfortable.　I feel happy that the drama can be broadcasted in other countries.

Q. This time the crown prince don’t visit Japan. after 3 months which is quite a long time, how does it feel for both of you (Jung Hoon and Eun Hye) to cooperate again?
After completing the drama, became so busy since then,　I only updated myself with recent news through internet article.　So being able to meet again in other country outside Korea… I feel glad.

Q. What is your future schedule?
I'm thinking of doing drama and movie in Korea. Actually I'm having music recording in Japan.　A mini album is scheduled to be released.　I'm glad to be able to reach everyone through Goong and then my debut.　In the future I also want to shoot drama in China.
