Park Jung Min came to Taiwan to film idol drama ‘Fondant Garden’ and had a pleasant time working with Jian Shu Man, Lia Lee and Kingone Wang. The long stay in Taiwan made rapid progress in his Chinese language. He uses Chinese all the way during the fan-meeting. When he was being interviewed, he used Chinese as far as possible to answer them and everyone praised that he is really good. He replied “No, I want to say a lot of things but I can’t express them and it makes my heart/mind stuffy.”
During the fan-meeting, he made candied fruit with the fans and Park Jung Min said “3 days (he used yesterday x3 in Chinese ^^;) ago I went to the night market. I ate it that time and it left me impressed.” The translator immediately added that they went to the night market 3 days ago and brought his to experience Taiwanese snacks. Park Jung Min disguised himself with mask and hat and went out. None of the fans recognized him and he enjoy freedom comfortably.
He tasted deep-fried milk, cream filling sponge cake, strawberry candied fruit, etc. His appetite is totally ready for the full challenge. Park Jung Min replied “I am used to the life in Taiwan.” Jian Shu Man exposed that he learned how to speak in Taiwanese language and often made the drama crew laugh. He was asked to give a demonstration live. Park Jung Min humorously said “There are a lot, I cannot say it anymore.”
The drama will premiere on the 24th and they were asked what the expected rating is. Jian Shu Man said “8%”, Lia Lee shouted “9%”. Lastly, Park Jung Min replied “1%. So when we add them up altogether, it will be 18%. I hope that the rating will reach the target of 18%.” He also shouted to the fans that with everyone’s support, it will not be a problem. Park Jung Min ended his 6 months filming and returned to Korea. He is expected to release an album in Japan. After the interview, he told the reporters if they are going to Korea, he will treat them to a meal. No wonder he made his female fan’s heart flustered because of his friendly and lively personality.

Translator Note: I feel that this is not a really good article about JM but just translating if anyone is curious what this article is talking about. And one should know that he always like to joke around with the vulgarities, don’t take it too seriously.

Park Jung Min likes new things, there are already 3 mobile phones in his bag but he laughed and said that even though he has 3 of them, he might not know how to operate them.
Korean group SS501′s member decided to go solo 2 years ago, Park Jung Min was once rumoured in a scandal, investment in his sideline did not go smoothly, tragically loss NT$ 5 million in just half a year, love life, career were covered with black clouds. After nearly a year, he came to Taiwan to film for CTV idol drama ‘Fondant Garden’. His popularity reversed and fans would follow him whenever he is filming. He revealed that he first started learning the Chinese ‘Essence’, he will often blurt out ‘classic’ curse words at the filming site.
Hiring a female staff sparkle rumours
He became popular as SS501 member, apart from acting career, he also runs an online shopping mall. It was rumoured that he hired a female worker so that she could help to expand the career (online shopping mall) to mainland but fans mistook and believed that they are dating. He said that that time, he did discuss about cooperating with a mainland company but did not succeed it in the end, that female staff incident was a misunderstanding. “I am not someone who can be manipulated easily.” After going solo, he focuses on his singing/acting career.
‘Fondant Garden’ will premiere on 24th Feb, 10pm on CTV, while he was in Taiwan filming, he started learning cursing words. Staffs also taught him Taiwanese language. When he was filming in Hualien, his neck got bitten by a mosquito and even knew how to use ‘growing strawberries’ (love bite) to describe it. His personal bag contained 3 mobile phones and ipad and was even being laughed that he is totally a ’3C control’.
Older sister-brother love during 2nd year of Junior High ended in 3 years
The handsome appearance of a lover, he admits that his first love was in his 2nd year of Junior High, the age difference was 3 years old and they dated for 3 years. But because he entered the entertainment industry, they broke up. As he was still young that time and he did not understand love, thus, he did not feel sad. He expressed that he likes interesting girls but he will not disclose his relationship to the public if he is dating. He filmed a kiss scene with Jian Shu Man in the drama and when he was asked how he felt (during the kiss scene) he frankly said “ordinary.”
After going solo, Park Jung Min is trying his best to manage his career. His new drama character and his character are both similar, cheerful in personality.

[Article] Kim Hyun Joong , Soccer My Game , My life



But soccer is only a game, you say. Yes, but isn’t life a game, too? In life, as in soccer we have players with roles,there are rules and there are strategies. One overriding goal is simple. It is to win. Anyone who says its alright to lose is just kidding himself. We even joke about born losers.
 In life we have to win or at least reach our objectives. That is why we practice, until we get it right. We may fall by the roadside, exhausted and weary, but we try to stand again and resume taking part in the game. We have cheerers, or cheer ourselves when the going really get rough.
Kim Hyun Joong’s life parallel that of playing soccer. The entertainment arena (there are gladiators competing for prizes ) is one vast competitive field. Hyun Joong practices (train) to perfection to the bone. He strategizes to emerge the victor, the winner-who would not ? Those who don’t believe in this is just naive. Who will score a goal tonight, so many nights hereafter? Isn’t that what Hyun joong and every K-Pop idol aspire for? Naturally. Who will bring home the title? Though soccer is never played by one but a team, still individual players become outstanding. Hyun Joong has a team but he is the one who the spotlight beam on.
Like soccer, life has coaches, mentors and guides . There are also referees who interprets the rules as just like authorities in the entertainment community.
Kim Hyun Joong’s life is one intense passion for his dance music, so are soccer players. If soccer is said to be playing it hard,strong and smart -what do you think Kim Hyun Joong has been doing all along and all these times?
And just like soccer players, Hyun joong has his cheerers,fans and supporters -us. We have been playing favorites, too. Mine is player number 9. What’s yours?

[Trans]Kim Hyung Jun - Adieu! Macau! (K-MUSIC Youth?s Ambition Concert In Macau Behind The Story)


Source: JUNUS (hyungjun.co.kr)
Trans: ONLY JUN (kimhyungjun.net)


Hello this is Kim Hyung Jun~
Through K-Music Youth’s Ambition Concert
Held in Macau
Because I received so much love from everyone who came,
Felt so happy
I am also very grateful
For many people’s gazes on the street


After the first day’s short Macau city tour..
In order to show everyone my best look without fail..
Practice! And practice!



Running on the first stage at Macau
Although nervous, but thanks to everyone’s great response and support
I accomplished the mission without hiccup!!


Was good that I was able to converse with everyone
In that short period of time available
I also introduced my drama…Hope in Macau
Topstar Kang Min will also cause a hot craze



Because it is a performance done together with other fellow singers
I put in even more effort.
Although it is a short performance, but because it is a performance that I ran and played
with everyone, my mood was very good!
Although the short 3D2N schedule
is a pity, but I look forward to seeing (everyone) again in Macau!!
Adieu Macau!!
