KIM HYUN JOONG GETS MASSIVE PRESS COVERAGE IN HONGKONG
By Stewart Ho | CJ E&M enewsWorld – 11 hours ago
Kim Hyun Joong has proven his popularity with not only fans abroad but press outlets abroad.
On May 11, the singer and actor left for Hong Kong for his scheduled fan
meeting. Ahead of his fan meeting, Kim Hyun Joong held a press
conference where he revealed his feelings on his fan meeting, which took
place on May 12.
At the press conference all the major Hong Kong press outlets including
Wenweipo, Sing Tao, The Sun, Apple Daily and more, were on hand to cover
Kim Hyun Joong’s every words and actions.
His popularity was evident in the next day’s press as various pictures
and articles on Kim Hyun Joong’s arrival in Hong Kong were seen.

Actually this news from Hongkong is not surprising to me anymore after
the huge success of Hyun Joong’s Fan Meeting event. What surprises me
more is his press conference in Beijing China. The venue where the press
con being held was so grand (Photo above),
and the conference hall was filled with local and international media.
The said Fan Meeting event for China is three weeks away from yesterday,
but the media coverage of the event I think is a huge one. What’s with
the huge fanfare?
Right after the Asian Tour was confirmed and officially announced by
KeyEast, China organizers for this event started to get moving. The Asia
Tour advertisement has been airing in China nationwide, two weeks
before Hyun Joong arrived Singapore as his first stop. Ticket outlets
has started selling since then and is selling good. I start to wonder
now, what made China became so ambivalent with Kim Hyun Joong??
Maybe what I can share with you is just my own analysis and opinion. I’m
sure all of these did not happen over night. I made a little research
on the events transpired in China that Hyun Joong attended to as a solo
singer.
First, was in November 12, 2010 in Guang Zhou China, at the Asian Games
Opening Ceremony, as Hyun Joong attended and sang a Chinese song
together with the other Chinese artist.
At the same year 2010, a voting poll was conducted for the title 2010
Hottest Star in China, and Hyun Joong was rated on top rank number one
Hottest Star in China.
In Feb. 2011 Hyun Joong won the Most Popular Asian Sta in China, as a
voting poll was conducted for the title. That time Playful Kiss was
airing as Hyun Joong starred in this drama
In September 2011 held the closing performance at a joint concert that
was put together by various popular artist in China, with Kim Hyun Joong
and had given the title Asian Emperor.
In January 2012, Hyun Joong visited China for his endorsement of a
cosmetic brand The Face Shop, as Hyun Joong is the official
representative of this international cosmetic brand. Hyun Joong was
also invited in celebration of Chinese Lunar Year as the first Korean
artist ever was invited by China and performed.
And finally in March 2012, Hyun Joong was again invited to perform for
the Liao Spring Festival or Tokyo Girls Collection held in Shanghai
China. This was the unforgettable airport scenario as Hyun Joong had to
forced himself out of the crowded fans to welcome him on his arrival to
Shanghai.
Hyun Joong highlights the fashion show as he performed Lucky Guy that
was attended by his fans and that majority of the audience that filled
the stadium with green uzoosin light stick was monopolized by Hyun
Joong’s fans.
Well, there you have it, so we have a history between Kim Hyun Joong and
China. After looking into this list of events transpired in the past I
would conclude Hyun Joong indeed had gained a lot of popularity in
China. Not to mention the huge success of BOF where it all started his
popularity boost.
Hyun Joong indeed did a lot of exposure in China that came up to have
this project of Fan Meeting Concert and I would say a huge Fan Meeting
event!! No wonder Hyun Joong prepared a lot, because all the while this
is not just an ordinary event for Hyun Joong’s fans.
Now I fully understand why Korean artists tend to get in to the Japanese
and Korean entertainment market. And yes, music and entertainment is in
the culture of both countries and indeed it has a great potential for
stepping stone to be an international star. I was thinking, these two
countries are within the top rank of biggest entertainment market next
to Hollywood. Fans from both countries are just as passionate to Kim
Hyun Joong.
Once Hyun Joong wins these two countries by more numbers which is just
within his reach, then the ball starts to roll for him. And seeing from
these events takes place can tell us he’s already there, it’s just a
matter of a little more exposure and I could see, he’ll be the first
Hallyu solo idol to reach the top as none had done yet in this present
generation.
Just like in politics, the band wagon starts rolling once Hyun Joong
explode in China. He already did explode in Japan as his first shot to
debut on Japanese market as soloist. What do I mean by this band wagon?
Once people from the neighboring countries sees the pouring popularity
of Hyun Joong from China then they follow.
And take note Hyun Joong is scheduled to launch his next mini album in
Japan by July and he’ll stay as he promotes the album. Think about it.
This might just be speculations, but common sense would tell us as
events unfold since Hyun Joong Asian Tour Fan Meeting Concert , it’s
very likely he’ll gain more than what is expected.
Hyun Joong is so competitive, as you notice he’s racing to the top with
the other idol groups which he is not within that category. But reality
tells us that Kpop idol groups are the popular ones these days. Actually
no soloist idol singer had reached the top rank at the music chart yet
among the Kpop solo artist, as Hyun Joong had in 2011 and early this
year. That producer and director who spoke in Hyun Joong documentary I
believe has the right assessment about Hyun Joong in leading the first
title ever given as leader of solo idol.
One Chinese at the twitter who was translating the press conference
mentioned that the capacity of each venue where the fan meeting is be
held is at 9,000 sitting capacity more or less! Well, I still have to
confirm this. Although I can’t help to think as to why did China rejects
the idea of High Five session.
It’s probably because a huge crowd double than the first two events in
Singapore and Hongkong is being expected. This is not impossible, Hyun
Joong was able to gather 20,000 in Japan full pack at Yokohama Arena and
in less than a week tickets were sold out. The concert was just one
hour but this time it’s at two hours and with more activities.
Here’s another good news, the good Samaritan turns up again. As Kim Hyun
Joong donated 20 Million Won to the charity after his concert in
Hongkong. Again he donated his earnings out of the concert to the
charity Smile Angel Foundation. This is Hyun Joong, every time he
succeeds, he never forgets the charity. The guy with the golden heart
will always be unselfish, and so the blessings on him just keeps pouring
in.
And since June 6 is gonna be his 26th birthday, in which Hyun Joong will
be busy for the concert on that day, the Chinese organizer set for the
concert tickets on June 6, had Hyun Joong affixed his signature on the
tickets and set off to auction for charity. Isn’t that great??
My apologies I did not included the Q & A portion of the interview,
since most of the questions were already been asked, in the recent press
conference in Singapore. Although there are a few which I just have to
reserve for next article. Hyun Joong was given a gold tiger stamp by the
Chinese organizer as their way of appreciating Hyun Joong’s presence.
The tiger represents the Chinese sun sign of Hyun Joong since he was
born in the year of the tiger. And there’s a significant ceremony with a
crystal ball as Hyun Joong joined by other Chinese sponsors, which I
would like to find out what was that all about.
I think we have every reason to be optimistic as far as Hyun Joong’s
career future is concern. Like what he always say, believe in your
dreams. Although he has lots more to work on but his dream is just
within his reach and time fly so fast and so with his career
development. We have so much to look forward to, as Hyun Joong
successfully executes his plans that every fan is being proud of.
Well, I never knew Hyun Joong has another title given by his Chinese
fans which is Asian Emperor of China. We have the Prince to protect, or
maybe the Prince had actually grew up into an Emperor! Why not, as time
flies Hyun Joong just grew up for another one year as he turns 26 next
month, the more successful he is.
As the Prince climb his ladder of success, he grows up into Asian
Emperor as he makes another step up to the top…. I’m very proud of being
a Kim Hyun Joong fan.
