Out of the well-known Hallyu Stars in Japan, Kim HyunJoong is the only one who got invited by Fuji TV. Japan programs usually invites their own local artistes so it is exceptional that they invited an artiste from another country, i.e Kim HyunJoong.

In the new year, SS501 will visit Thailand as part of their Asia Tour stop in January.

Even though Kim HyunJoong acted in romantic scenes with his unique sensitive acting which captured many females’ heart, he displays powerful masculine attractiveness and quintessence metro-sexual in SS501 performances.

Kim HyunJoong also generated the first syndrome this year in Korea with ‘Boys Over Flowers’, receiving the name of ‘Nation’s Sunbae’ and recognition rises rapidly, constantly involved in various fashion shows, dinner shows as well as large-scale and small-scale events.
