Kim Hyun Joong

Kim Hyun Joon is a South Korean singer, actor, and fashion model. Former frontman of the famous dance group "SS501". As an actor, he gained recognition in 2009, after filming the film "Boys are more beautiful than flowers."

Kim was born in the capital of South Korea to a family of restaurateurs. Even in kindergarten, the boy showed high intellectual abilities, since he memorized new words and their pronunciation much faster than his peers. In elementary school, Hyun Joon was repeatedly awarded main prizes at math olympiads and creative competitions. Also, the guy was fond of sports and independently learned to play musical instruments.

As a teenager, he drops out of school as he decides to become a professional singer. Looking ahead, we will say that Kim still graduated from school later, but already being a pop music star. He also studied at Jeonwun University with a degree in Theater Organization and at Kyonggi University in the acting department.

Kim worked as a waiter in his parents' restaurant, and at the same time participated in all kinds of casting. At one of the performances, he was noticed by the director of the production agency and included in the new boy band.

Violating the original contract, the producer said that the guys will start building their careers not in their home country, but in China, since the fashion for Korean performers again went there. Kim Hyun Joon refused and left the group without ever making his debut. The future showed that the young man made the right choice. Soon he passed another audition and joined the group "SS501", becoming its leader.

The group debuted with the song "Warning" in 2005 and became the best new group in Korea by the end of that year. Subsequently, the dance youth team was called even the best Asian project. During their 6-year career, the guys have released as many as 48 records, although, of course, not all of them contained new songs. But songs such as "Deja Vu", "Song For You", "You Are My Heaven" and "My Girl" became super hits not only in Asia, but all over the world.

Kim Hyun Joon himself, as the leader, frontman and face of the group, has always remained at the forefront. Fans even gave him the nickname Manne, which means "Living sculpture". Kim has taken part in virtually all of the band's concerts and recordings, as well as in independent projects. For example, he performed in the Japanese musical Cafe-In.

Feeling that he is able to realize himself in a solo career, the leader of "SS501" leaves the team in 2011 and begins his independent work. The other guys followed Hyun Joon's example. However, in their interviews, all the guys claim that in the future they are ready to get together and continue cooperation.

The singer released his first solo album “Break Down” in early June of the same year, moreover, about 70 thousand copies were sold on preliminary orders. This disc became a summer bestseller and hit the top lines of not only local but also Japanese charts.

Even greater success awaited the new disc "Lucky", which eventually took 5th place in the most prestigious world chart "Billboard". Thanks to this, Kim Hyun Joon was named Best Singer at the Asian Music Awards. The artist later released three more studio discs and took part in the recording of several popular soundtracks.

By the way, Kim made several more breakthroughs in the world of Asian music. Firstly, he became the first Korean who was invited to the popular Taiwanese music show "Personality", and secondly, he was the first of his fellow countrymen to conduct large-scale tours in Japan in a huge number of cities.

In 2009, Kim Hyun Joon, as a well-known personality, was invited to try himself as an actor. In Korea, they began filming a remake of the Japanese melodrama "Flowers after berries", which in the adapted version was called "Boys are more beautiful than flowers." The television series was a great success not only in South Korea, but also abroad. The film was shown even in Europe and America. For Hyun Joon himself, the first tryout also came out very bright: he was recognized as the best actor of the year at the Seoul Film Festival.

Kim's acting career continued in the romantic comedy "Mischievous Kiss", but this project could not repeat the success of the previous one. The latest episodes of the television series were not even shown on TV, but posted on the Internet.

Later, the actor starred in the action movie "The Conquest of the City" and the melodramas "Obsessed with a Dream" and "Young Time". Regardless of the popularity of movies, interest in Kim Hyun Joon only grew. In 2011, he received the Icon of Style award for the third time in a row, because in addition to his musical taste, the young man has a taste for clothes and very effectively combines different parts of his outfit, not only in the cinema or on stage, but also in everyday life.

Kim Hyun Joon is not married, but journalists from almost all publications write about his numerous novels. The singer and actor himself has repeatedly stated that he is not yet ready to build a family with any of his passions.

A big scandal happened to the star in 2014. His ex-girlfriend, a certain Miss Choi, announced that she was pregnant with him. The musician agreed to take over the upbringing of the baby if the DNA test confirms that Kim is indeed the father. But to date, there is no evidence that Hyun Joon has anything to do with Miss Choi's baby.

On May 12, 2015, Kim Hyun Joong was mobilized and enlisted in his mandatory military service in Korea. He returned from the army in February 2017.
