MC: This person is KHJ, who debuted as a solo (artist) in Japan.

He made a couple of surprise visits to CD shops in Tokyo, yet so many fans came to see him. His visits were a secret, and only Mezamashi TV followed him.

We will show you our exclusive video about him later.

MC: There were big surprise events in Shibuya and Ginza yesterday.

A Hanryu (Hallyu) star, KHJ debuted as a solo the other day in Japan and made a surprise appearance in front of fans.

Girl: I saw him. He was handsome. Fufufufufu ~chego (good!)~

VO: The person whom the fans came to see was KHJ, who debuted as a solo the other day in Japan. He visited Shibuya and Ginza to promote his debut CD.

VO: His debut CD won 2nd spot on the Oricon daily ranking.

His visit was planned secretly but about 200 fans got the information from Twitter or etc (and gathered) in Shibuya.

VO: He was welcomed with great cheers by fans and left his autograph on his panel.

These fans who could shake hands with him were very lucky, as his stay was just only 1 min and 21 secs. He left like a storm and headed to Ginza.

KHJ: I feel that Japanese fans are very enthusiastic and their feelings (zeal/enthusiasm) to cheer me is big.

In fact KHJ has lived in Japan some years ago.

His favorite dishes since then…?

KHJ: The dishes I often eat are gyu-don, ramen, soba, and curry rice.

I especially like the curry and rice at CoCo Ichi (it's the name of the shop).

He seems to like Japanese fast-food.

Then what is his favorite Japanese word?

KHJ: "Agepoyo"

Since I’ve debuted in Japan, everyday is “agepoyo” for me.

VO: His next visit with such an “agepoyo” feeling was a CD shop in Ginza.

There were double the number of fans compared with at Shibuya; about 500 agepoyo fans welcomed him.

VO: He’s called “rida” because he’s been a leader of SS501, which debuted in Korea, in 2005. After the event, so many fans were waiting for him to come out.

Fan1: "He is so handsome and cute and I'm really moved (that I could) meet him. 

Fan2: "I really love him. He is the aunt's (middle-aged women's) longing (adoration)."

KHJ: I think I have to work harder (to meet the expectations from fans) in the future.

I also want to thank all the fans for coming to see me.

VO: KHJ had a stage on Mezamashi Live last summer and he had been very popular since then. There weren't any announcement, but about 700 fans had gathered to see him.

[Eng-sub] ETN News: Prominent Jap media & record label companies watched HJ's Jap showcase

Amidst all the frenzied excitement from the start of HJ's Asia Tour in Vietnam, there was little time (or attention) that we could pay on translating works. But thankfully, we have a good chingu who has joined our team so maybe with the extra hands, we will be able to do more. 

Below is a video clip on HJ's Break Down showcase in Zepp Tokyo's music hall [29 July 2011], as broadcast by ETN News on 11 Aug, which gives an interesting look into how intensely popular our namja is in Japan. Thank you all you lovely Japanese fans, for giving HJ so much support and love...

The "healing powers" of U:zoosin

We posed this question online yesterday:

Then we stumbled upon an amazing Japanese fan of HJ yesterday night, @k_sonrisa66. Her profile info kinda gave us an inkling as to why HJ is known as an artist in the 'healing' category in Japan:

After we tweeted about what an interesting profile info she has, @k_sonrisa66 herself sent us a lovely message this morning and gave us more insight into the 'healing  powers' of our U:zoosin...

She said:                        [Note: click on pic to enlarge]

We found what she said so beautiful that we couldn't stop ourselves from re-posting it here...to share with those who may equally find themselves being healed or having been healed by HJ's warmth and zest for life. 

Thank you @k_sonrisa66, for this beautiful message this morning. And please know that many of us, though we are not in Japan, we feel and mourn every time for your tragedies and losses. Your unwavering strength and remarkable resilience have been inspiring...Hwaiting!! 

HJ: I’d like to perform on different stages around the world...hope everyone can believe in me & support me

This video clip from Kanpu Wide Tok Tok Star was aired recently (26 July, 2011) in Japan, although the interview proper was actually conducted with HJ when he was still in the midst of promoting Break Down - as we can tell from his hairstyle - probably some time in June.

Let's hear HJ talk about his solo debut album preparation, his aspirations, whether he feels lonely going solo, how many marks he gives himself in terms of being romantic, and how he'd address his girlfriend, if he has one. ^^ Dozo ~ Check it out!

The 10,000-strong crowd that turned up for the event that had to be chosen through lottery because the number of applicants way surpassed the number of seats allocated.

Japanese TV host on HJ: He is really very unique and innocent

On 29th July, on arriving in Japan, after his 1-hour showcase to promote his debut solo album before 1,800 fans + some 200 reporters from various media, HJ attended a Fuji TV's prog, a sort of Summer Festival prog if you will. Below are two video clips of the highlights of the event + some comments by the Jap media about our 4D Prince...

Mezamashi Saturday

Jap to Chinese translations by: Magic賢 + 疯靡501

Chinese to Eng translations by OnlyKHJTimes

MC: Today’s showcase will be featuring an appearance by Mr KHJ

Voiceover: KHJ, as ss501’s leader, together with TVXQ, has, in the world of music, has become a focal point (names that cannot be left out) of the Hallyu Wave. The TV series in which he was the lead actor has already been screened in Japan, further increasing his popularity here. [Screen shows an excerpt from Playful Kiss]

Last month, he debuted as a solo-singer and (today) he is joining a live performance at Odaiba.

Today, some 6000 audience turned up.

MC: [spotting some fans] Wow, that’s incredible. What is it? [Indicating the fan’s raincoat]

1stFan: I made it myself!

MC: How is he (KHJ) different from other Hallyu Wave artists?

2ndFan: (He’s in the) healing category. [Note: Japanese likes to categorise artists according to their different appeals]

1stFan: He can heal (or give comfort to) us.

MC: What are his good points?

3rdFan: His 4D-ness.

MC: 4D-ness?

Voiceover: Although cannot fully understand what some of the fans are saying, but the atmosphere is heating up. Then, at 4.30pm, the live show starts. Hyun Joong, with his sunglasses – exhibits an aura of wildness, but at the same time, in his Kiss Kiss song, he shows a sweet performance on stage, mesmerising the fans who are in attendance.

MC: You’ve worked hard!

HJ: Today’s is such a hot day but still so many fans came, I feel very happy.

MC: You’re sweating a lot!

HJ: Yeah...

MC: But even though you are all sweaty, you still give off a very refreshing feel.

HJ: (embarassed) Ah thanks...

Voiceover: Between a song like Break Down that is so macho and Kiss Kiss that is so cute, which one is actually the real KHJ?

HJ: Even though both songs give off completely different feelings, both are also (indicative of) the real me. (Meanwhile) in Please, it shows the face of a real man. I want to let everybody see different facets of myself.

Voiceover: Mr KHJ is really very handsome oh!

[Back to studio]

Host: Yes! Very handsome indeed. Even fans said he was just like a prince that had stepped out from the manga.

-2nd clip-

Voiceover: KHJ showcase pictorial!

Male Host with moustache: Korea’s red-hot Kim Hyun Joong has performed a showcase in Japan today with his song Break Down. While the dramas he acted in - Boys Over Flowers + Playful Kiss – are still very popular, he’s finally returned to the stage as a serious singer. His (debut solo) album this time incorporates a change from a boy to a man. The photos this time, please watch:

Female Host: Freshly out of the oven! Check it out!

Male Host: This is a pic captured during his complex dance routine. Originally I thought he’s (changed into) this handsome + charismatic image, but then we see...

Female Host: ah! Very cute!

Male Host: Very cute, right? Then look at this one (indicating the nxt pic).

Female Host: His chest muscles look very well-developed ah...

Male Host: Yes

Female Host: Looks like he has put on a star (don’t understand this exactly – perhaps in reference to his exposed nipple?) It seems like it’s a different image from the one we see in Playful Kiss.

Male Host: Ballads + dance tunes, altogether, there are six songs in his new album. This one (indicating the next pic) is a pic taken before the showcase in the afternoon, during the press conference. Looking at his smile, it still brings to mind his pleasant demeanour from his earlier days + the time when he was the leader of SS501.

[Back to studio]

Female Host: Yes. Keido (referring to the the 2nd male MC), what do you think?

Keido: Yes, his face can totally captivate your attention. He is really really very handsome. During the interview (no reference given which interview or when), he also answered questions very steadily. And surprisingly, he is actually a very humorous person.

Recently, in a radio show (in Korea), in a segment of the prog to chat with listeners about romance problems, he revealed something about himself. He said he got dumped after calling his ex-gf his former gf’s name.

Female Host: He totally didn’t avoid (the topic) and revealed this incident!

Keido: Yes! I was also wondering at the time, should he be revealing such things?

Male Host: It seems like he is really unique and his character is really innocent.
