[Article] A Korean Star that is unstoppable even with the Korean ban (in China), because he once did this..

Thought this article is nice to share. It’s nice to see that there are people outside of Korea that shows support to HJ by dedicating a write-up on him.

娛樂圈是一個冰冷缺乏人情味的圈子，都聞新人笑哪見舊人哭，新人層出不窮，老藝人就逐漸落寞，曾經有一個比李敏鎬還火的亞洲頂級藝人，如今無人問津，他就是金賢重。

The entertainment industry is a very cold place and void of human touch, all one can see is the smile of the new love, while the old love weeps unheard. Endless stream of newbies, old artists fade away slowly. There was one top artist in Asia that was even more popular than Lee Min Ho, but now no one shows interest, he is Kim Hyun Joong.

還記得2009年的韓版《花樣男子》么？他在劇中他扮演尹智厚（花澤類），英俊的長相溫潤的氣質讓他比李敏鎬還吸粉

Still remember ‘Boys over Flowers’ from 2009? He played the role of Yoon JiHoo (Hanazawa Rui) in the drama, he attracted even more fans than Lee Min Ho with his handsome look and warm gentle appeal.

他更是憑藉這部劇，獲得了「國民前輩」的榮譽稱號

He even got the honorary title of ‘Nation’s Sunbae (senior)’ through this drama.

而後他從組合ss501中單飛，發展自己的事業，並且相當成功，他多次在韓國日本以及中國舉辦全國巡演，當時一票難求

Thereafter he went solo from group SS501, developing his own career and has been very successful. He held many concert tours in Korea, Japan and China, and it’s so difficult to get a ticket back then.

10年之後，他在中國更是爆火完全不亞於現在的BigBang，他還不錄製了很多中國綜藝，包括最火的《快樂大本營》

10 years later, he was so popular in China that he was no less than BigBang. He even recorded many Chinese variety shows including the hottest “Happy Camp”.

參加錄製了江蘇衛視跨年演唱會

He participated in the recording of Jiangsu Satellite TV New Year’s Eve concert.

並且和唐季禮成為了好朋友

And became good friends with Director Stanley Tong.

為什麼他能深受觀眾的喜愛呢，因為他和只知道在中國撈金的演員不一樣，金賢重在慈善方面也十分積極。中國的雅安地震，他捐款1億韓元

Why was he so well-received by the audience? Because he was different from the actors who are only trying to earn money in China. Kim Hyun Joong is very aggressive even in charity works. During the earthquake in Ya-an China, he donated 100 million won.

然而遇人不淑，前女友偽造家暴案，一下子讓他的事業跌倒谷底，但是他在軍隊表現優異，獲得一等兵的稱號，如此可見他是多麼優秀

But he had a bad encounter where his ex-girlfriend fabricated a domestic abuse case on him, which brought his career to rock bottom overnight. But his performance in the military was very impressive as he was promoted to ‘Private First Class’, clearly proving that he is very outstanding.

抗的起榮耀亦經得起風浪，金賢重一定會發展的越來越好的

Able to bear the glory yet also able to withstand the storm (hardship), Kim Hyun Joong will definitely have increasingly better developments moving forward.

Henecia Membership

I noticed that some fans are confused with being a regular member of Henecia and a active (paid) member of Henecia.

Other than having a login access and allows Keyeast to get stats of Hyun Joong’s fanbase coverage, public can also have free access to hyun-joong.com without a login. The only thing that makes a difference is when you sign up as a active (paid) member, where you can have access to exclusive photos, videos and messages from Hyun Joong.

Regular Membership Application

But when you only signed up as a regular member, you will not be able to get access to Henecia site.

Active (Paid) Membership

As a active (paid) member, you will get to access Henecia site and see the contents that are shared exclusively for Henecia active member, like the one below~

SO! What are you waiting for?? Quickly sign up as an active member before the registration close on 30 June!

[FA] HJ’s treat at Jaksal Chicken on 30 Apr 2017

Actually many fans were expecting HJ to go to Jaksal the next day after FM and some really had the luck of the world to get a treat from him!

So he did went to Jaksal on 30 Apr but for a brief 5-6mins. Below is the FA from fans who saw him and got a treat from him.

PS. As mentioned by illublue on twitter, HJ requested not to take pics of him so I won’t share his pics taken by fans here. Only the FA~^^

今天對所有同行的伙伴而言，將是非常難忘的旅程，
同行伙伴說：終於被男人請吃飯了！而且還是我們愛的男人！
(笑翻一群人)今天晚上10:20賢重悄悄從魚叉櫥房後門進入櫥房進入直接在收銀台結帳，其實過程很短，約莫只有5到6分鐘時間.
本來有一組日本粉絲在結帳，親故一直對日本粉絲說今天不用付錢，但日本粉絲不明白為什麼不用錢，這時親故才大聲對大家說今天賢重請客，接著就看到賢重出現在收銀機旁，店內一陣尖叫！賢重用信用卡付完帳後，很帥氣的收起信用卡就把刷卡單丟在櫥房的垃圾筒，接著再由櫥房後門出去，一會兒就看到一個追風少年從魚叉旁邊的巷子推了一輛帥氣拉風的腳踏車出現在門口，並快速低著頭躍上腳踏車揚長而去，親故為了讓賢重安全離開，稍稍攔了在場粉絲讓賢重離開，親故看著賢重的腳踏車騎遠了才安心進入店內繼續招呼所有粉絲朋友們，並問大家開不開心，且轉達了賢重想要表達的話，賢重說謝謝大家一直等候他回來，也謝謝大家來參加他的fan meeting. 過程雖短很短，但在短短幾分鐘內，消息炸開整個微博，足見大家對賢重的重視。
我們沒有想到會意外碰到賢重，突然看到他出現在店裡，情緒實在萬分激動，心情難以形容，看著他的背影漸漸消失在巷底，我內心卻有種孤獨感上身。
他還是我知道的那個賢重。。。
他還是那個不喜歡多解釋的賢重。。。
他還是那個默默低調照顧粉絲的賢重。。。
他仍然是那個只要粉絲開心他就開心的賢重。。。
賢重啊！我們也謝謝你平安回來。。。
我們也謝謝你默默承受世俗的責難為粉絲一圓相思之苦，
你想給予我們的，我們都懂！！！
我真的真的會站在我的位置陪著你，
直到我燈盡油枯那一天。。。
更願你和我們的未來，一天比一天好。。。

Today is a really unforgettable day for all the companions.

My companion said ‘Finally got a treat from the man! And it’s from the man we loved!

Around 10.20pm today, HJ went into Jaksal from the kitchen backdoor and headed straight to the cashier counter to make payment. Actually the whole process was very short, probably just around 5-6mins.

A group of Jap fans were making payment but HJ’s friend said no need to pay today, but the Jap fans don’t understand why they don’t need to pay, so HJ’s friend said out loud to everyone that HJ is treating today, then we saw HJ appearing beside the cashier counter, and there’s an outburst of screams inside the shop! 

After HJ made payment using his credit card, he kept his card and threw the receipt into the thrash bin inside the kitchen, then walked out from the kitchen backdoor. A while later we saw a dashing young man pushing a very flashy bicycle coming out to the front door from the side lane beside Jaksal. He quickly got on the bike, lowered his head and took off. In order to let HJ leave safely, his friend tried to hold the fans so to let HJ leave safely, seeing HJ cycled off a distance away then he went back into the shop and asked everyone if they are happy and also said the words that HJ wished to say ‘HJ thanked fans for waiting for his return, also thanked everyone for coming to his FM.’ Although the encounter was very brief and short, but in a short moment of time the news was spread onto weibo and spread like wildfire, it’s evident to see how everyone valued HJ.

(omit rest)

20170429片段#金贤重4.29粉丝见面会# ：唱谢谢你前，他说这首歌现在这个场合很适合，其实这首是挺伤感的一首歌。你们好好听别忙着拍照了

Before singing ‘Thank You’, he said ‘This song suits this occasion, actually this is a rather sentimental song. You all listen well, don’t keep taking photos’

20170429小片段: 贤重问现在几点了？粉丝喊不知道！他说耳机里的人告诉我八点半了，我们已经玩了一个小时了你们知道吗。我们要快点了，因为场地只租到今晚十二点，晚了要再交钱

HJ asked ‘What time is it now?’ Fans shouted ‘Don’t know’ He said ‘Someone told him through his earpiece that it’s 8.30pm, we had already played for an hour already, do you know? It’s about time to end. As we only rented the venue till 12mn, we need to pay extra if overrun.’

20170429 片段：唱your story之前，贤他说他有好好准备这首歌，但是（叹一口气，摆弄了一下舞台前面报歌词的显示屏）突然又有点忘了歌词

Before singing your story, HJ said he had prepared well for this song, but (give a sigh and adjusted the monitor in front of the stage) suddenly forgotten the lyrics

20170429 片段：讲到永生有来看FM，找了半天灯光也照了半天也没找到永生。他说“不会吧难道发了INS就走了！？！？“最后说“哎我还是不相信他就这么走了，估计去厕所了吧“

He said KyuSaeng came to see his FM, couldn’t find KyuSaeng at the audience seats. He said ‘Can’t be they left after uploading on IG?!?!’ and he finally said ‘I still don’t believed they left just like that, probably went to the toilet?’

20170429片段 ：有饭告诉他自己的戒指找到了。他给大家解释，这个粉丝给他写了一百多封信，其中讲到自己一个很珍贵的戒指丢了所以很难过，不过还好找到了。（然后开启碎碎念模式）“我以为是什么特别的戒指，原来好像就一般的戒指“ ​​​​

A fan told him she found her ring. Then he explained it to everyone that this fan wrote him 100+ letters, she mentioned in one of her letters that she lost a very precious ring so she felt very sad, but luckily she has found the ring. (Then he started to mumble to himself) “I thought how special was the ring, it seem it’s just a common ring’

20170429片段: 贤重想要今后在韩国官网多做一些活动，但现在网站被黑了上面照片都没有了 所以还要等一下 ​​​​

HJ wished to be more active in his Korean homepage, but it’s been hacked recently and the photos in the homepage were all gone so will have to wait a while more

Below were already shared on twitter previously.

#金贤重##金贤重4.29粉丝见面会##ANEMONE#
【有趣又充满sense的part】
1.要抽大家在外面写的提问小纸条，分中日韩的（但是知道这件事的好像不多..）他看了一眼说，额..怎么好像不是很多…从哪个先开始勒？底下就有人喊Canada！他就特别惊讶的说，没有这个呀…

1. Going to draw the Q&A notes that fans left outside the hall, separated according to China, Japan and Korea (but it seem not many fans knew about this..) He took a glance and said ‘Hmm…why does it seem like there’s not a lot… which one should I start with?’ Someone from the floor shouted ‘Canada’! He was very surprised and said ‘Don’t have this…’

2.后来先抽的韩国的，看了几个就说怎么都是加油和祝福，大家对我都没有好奇的吗？抽到后面有个问题好像是喜欢的女团？底下有个粉丝就抢答redvelvet！“嗯？你怎么知道！在军队的时候大部分都是二十二三岁的，总和他们一起就老听。在军队感觉自己像爸爸一样..”

2. He picked from Korea first, he looked through a few and said ‘Why are just ‘Fighting’ and well wishes, aren’t you all curious about me?’ In the end he picked one that asked which girl group he like? Fans shouted ‘Red Velvet!’ And he said ‘How did you know! In the army mostly are in their early 20s, spent a lot of time with them so I kept listening (their songs) too. I felt like I’m a father when in the army..’

3.有一个纸条问在军队有趣的事？“在军队不是经常会有会餐么？就是派发很多五花肉，就吃的很开心…”我就在底下开玩笑的问了他：那你长胖了吗！
他很惊讶的说：嗯..没有吧，我好像不是很容易长胖…

3. A note asked about interesting things in the army. ‘In the army, they often give out meat (samgyeopsal), so I enjoyed eating…” So I (the fan who shared the FA) asked him from my seat ‘So you put on weight?’ he said in surprise ‘Hmm..no, I don’t put on weight easily…’

4. 后来就起哄让他唱军歌…他觉得好好笑就说你们怎么这么好奇军队里面？大家就一直让他唱…他就说你们都想听么？都不想听吧！对吧！就给敷衍过去了…

4. Later fans started to ask him to sing army song…he find it funny and said why are we so curious about army? Everyone kept asking him to sing and he said ‘Do you all really wish to listen? No right!’ and just get over it…

5.有中饭问心里有没有惦念中饭？之后什么时候来活动？“我是一直放在心里的，之后也一定会再去，也要去旅行，但是现在这个情况也发生了一些事…欸，怎么会这么多事呢？” 底下也一起在哈哈哈的笑

5. A Chinese fan asked if he does think about Chinese fans? When is he going to have activities in China? ‘I always put them (Chinese fans) in my heart, will also go in future, also want to go there for leisure travel, but the situation now also has some problems (some fans said he was referring to the Kor-Chn relationship issue over THAAD)…. sigh, why are there so many issues?’ Fans also laughed along.

6.因为还有中饭和日饭的纸条，翻译站在旁边。他聊起来的时候就自己说好长，也不管外饭听懂没，我旁边的韩饭就一直在提醒 要翻译啊，翻译！他才缓过来说，喔对，来，翻译吧…然后翻译也很崩溃的笑了。

6. As there’s also notes from Chinese and Japanese fans, translator was standing beside him. He started talking and talked so long, not noticing that overseas fans do not understand. The Korean fan beside me kept signalling him that we need translation. Then he realised it and said ‘Oh right, come, please translate’… and the translator broke out laughing.

7.唱了一首快歌后，就一直喘，自己就叹气说，这二十代和三十代真的不一样了，是吧？（体力明显不够用）得一直喝水了

7. After singing a fast song, he kept panting. He sighed and said ‘It’s really not the same anymore being in 20s and in 30s, right? Need to keep drinking water.’

8.在唱之前LMBTO之前说501的成员也有过来帮我应援了。大家都一齐往后面找结果都看不到，有人就说已经走了。贤重就喊话，在的话问候一下吧？可能真的走了吧，它就自己自言自语说怎么走了呢？可能是去厕所了吧？

8. Before singing LMBTO, he said 501 members also came to show support. Everyone start to look behind to search for the members but can’t find them, someone said they left. HJ shouted out ‘Say hello if you are still around? Maybe they really had left.’ and then he mumbled to himself why they left already, or maybe they went to the toilet?

9.忘记聊起什么了，我打趣的向他喊了一句：变帅了！他说嗯？什么！表情真的好可爱！然后底下就一直在喊好帅了！真好看！什么的…他就一直傻笑。

9. Forgotten what he was talking about, I (the fan) shouted to him ‘Became more handsome!’ He said ‘Hmm? What?’ His expression was really cute! And all the fans started to shout ‘Very handsome! So good looking!’ and he just smiled sheepishly. 

10.他问说，大家还记得我之前不是发了很多限量盘吧？里面不是有6号，66号，666号等编码的么，其实这些都在我这里！都堆在家里，现在觉得比起我留着，大家留着可能更有意义，所以打算给大家。底下就起哄，给我们给我们！“怎么给？”“现在给！”“不行诶，我今天都没有带…”

10. He asked ‘Everyone still remembered I released many limited edition albums? There’s #6, #66, #666 etc, actually all these are with me! All kept at home. Now I felt that as compared to me keeping them, it’s more meaningful if it’s kept with you all, so I intend to give it out.’ Fans shouted ‘Give me, give me!’ HJ said ‘How to give?’ Fans shouted ‘Give now!’ HJ said ‘I can’t, didn’t bring today…’

11.唱’我是你男人’之前，就说我和大家好久没有合作这首歌了，大家还记得么？然后唱的时候底下也一起像之前一样配合的很好！他也很开心。

11. Before singing ‘I’m Your Man’, he said ‘It’s been a long time I sang this together with everyone, still remember the song?’ And fans sang along with him when he was singing. He was very happy.

12.舞台上几个提词器和流程的电脑，有一台一开始给跑了，他就一直要搬过来。“啊我看不见了，我得看着怕搞错流程…” 最后的时候也有聊起他后面的乐队，“我在军队的这段时间他们也仍然每天，啊，肯定不是每天…偶尔一起工作，他们也有很多是基督教徒，也会为我真心的祈祷！出来之后，也还是决心要和我一起来做事情！大家一起为他们鼓个掌吧！我们就一起说了谢谢，一直在鼓掌！

12. There’s a few monitors on the stage to flash song lyrics and event flow, one of it was moved and he kept wanting to move it over. He said ‘I can’t see, I need to see it or I may get the flow wrong…’ and towards the end he also talked about the band behind him. ‘During the time when I was in the army, they also everyday… uhmm definitely not everyday… occasionally get together to work. A few of them are also Christians, will also pray for me sincerely! After discharged from army, they also decided to work together with me. Everyone please clap for them!’ So all fans said thank you (to the band members) and kept clapping for them!

两个小时他也一直在开玩笑，依旧很开朗又呆萌，氛围也超级好！
我要继续在回味一下了！他真的太有sense了！可爱死了！
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈

He was constantly joking around during the 2 hours, jovial and cute as always, the atmosphere was also very good!

송중기의 calm and passion

Lately, many actors are capturing my heart… ㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is one that really got me real bad after watching his ‘Descendants of the Sun’. Not complaining though :p

Want to keep this article in my blog for keepsake ^^

His interview and pictorial with WKorea.com~ (not gonna translate though, it’ll take me years to do so… hehe)

<W Korea> 드라마 <태양의 후예>가 끝난 지 벌써 1주년이 되었네요. 신드롬이라 할 만한 반응을 얻었죠. 드라마 속 유시진 대위의 모습을 벗고 어떤 시간을 보냈나요?
송중기 드라마 방영을 마치고 바로 영화 촬영에 들어갔어요. 7개월 가까이 <군함도>를 찍었지요. 그 사이에 영화 한 편을 했고 개봉을 앞두고 있다니, 시간이 참 빠르게 흘러간 것 같아요. <태양의 후예> 이후 하루도 못 쉬고 정신없이 지내다 이제야 숨돌리는 시간을 갖고 있어요.

최근 한국 PD 대상 시상식에서 출연자상-탤런트 부문 수상을 축하해요. 특히 이날 수상 소감이 화제가 되었어요.
PD 대상 시상식이라는 곳에도 처음 참석했는데, 정말 각 분야의 다양한 스태프들이 오더라고요. 예능, 교양, 드라마, 라디오 등 각 분야를 망라해서요. 그 가운데 상을 받는데 그분들 수상 소감이 모두 다 진정성이 있는 거예요. 주로 배우들은 워낙 그런 데 익숙해 다양한 표현을 많이 하는데 그분들은 또 다른 느낌의 담백한 진짜배기 말을 해요. 그 때 제 바로 옆에 김문숙 작가님이 앉아 계시는데 “라디오 작가로서 매일매일 쓴 대본이 허공에 날아간다”고 그러시는 거예요. 그 뒤에서 <태양의 후예>를 쓴 김은숙 작가님이 “그래, 맞아 맞아”라고 하셨고요. 그 순간 ‘배우도 작품 털어내고서 집에 오면 허무한 느낌이 드는데 작가도 그렇겠구나’라는 생각이 들었어요. 그래서 수상 소감에 ‘작가님이 소중하게 쓰신 대본이 날아가지 않게 채우는 배우가 되도록 하겠다’는 이야기를 한 거고요. 구성원인 나라도 그걸 좀 채울 수 있는 사람이 되고 싶다는 생각에서 한 말이었어요.

함께 일하는 스태프를 배려하는 마음이 남다른 것 같아요. 영화와 드라마를 넘어 화보 촬영에 이르기까지, 그 협업 과정에 대한 이해와 사람에 대한 애정이 깊게 느껴져요.
배우라서 스포트라이트를 받는 거지, 저도 결국 스태프 중 한 명이자 일부분이라고 생각해요. 나 자신에게 하는 마음가짐이기도 하고요. 시상식 순간에 여러 가지 생각이 들었던 것 같아요. 아무튼 그날 기분이 참 좋았어요. 뿌듯했고, 오랜만에 가슴 뭉클한 시간을 모두와 공유한 시간이었죠.

함께 촬영을 하며 예의 바르고 착하고 개념 있는 배우라는 평판을 넘어서 솔직한 모습도 느꼈어요. 스스로 생각하는 자신은 어떤 사람인가요? 특히 ‘열정과 냉정 사이’에 빗대자면 어느 쪽에 더 가까운가요?
글쎄요. 열정과 냉정 중 어디에 더 가까울까요? 어렸을 때 그 책을 보면서 그런 생각을 많이 했는데 말이죠. 그때는 나 자신이 열정에 가깝다고 생각했는데 지금은 냉정에 가까워진 것 같고요. 그런데 다시 열정에 가까워지고 싶어요. 지금이 그런 시점인 것 같기도 하고요. 배려심이 많다고 하는데 잘 모르겠어요. 배려를 한다는 건 뭐랄까, 자기 중심적인 아이가 아니고 어른이라면 당연히 갖춰야 할 태도라고 봐요. 그렇다고 과도한 배려는 안 하려고 해요. 과도한 친절이 상대에게는 부담이 될 수 있으니까요. 그런 것에 밸런스를 맞추려고 노력하는 편이에요. 그리고 솔직함 역시 과하지는 않은 선에서 드러내려고 애써요. 또 직업 안에 갇혀서 끙끙대며 살고 싶지는 않고 균형을 맞추려고 하고요. 여러 가지 면에서 특별히 배려한다기보다 그저 일할 때 모두가 즐거울 수 있게 하려고 하는 거죠.

지금 촬영은 마치 스태프들이 마음을 모아 떠난 여행같은 느낌이 들어요. 여행을 좋아하는 걸로 아는데, 새로운 장소에서 시간을 보내는 나름의 방식이 있나요?
제가 좋아하는 장소에 와서 촬영하니까 저 역시 여행하는 기분이 들어요. 제가 좋아하는 스태프들과 모여 그들이 하고 싶어 하는 것을 하는 게 저도 좋아요. 모두 잘 준비해주셔서 저도 더 열심히 하는 것 같고… 탈 없이 잘 진행되고 있는 거죠?(웃음) 여행을 좋아해요. 여행을 가서 특별하게 뭘 한다기보다 그냥 발길 닿는 대로 여기저기 걸어요. 한국에선 그럴 수 없으니까요. 아마 저와 함께하는 친구나 매니저는 힘들 거예요. 산책을 워낙 좋아하는데 한국에서는 그러기 쉽지 않으니 해외에서는 정말 질릴 때까지 걷는 편이에요. 뭐, 일종의 유산소 운동이죠.

여행을 할 때 고독하게 자기만의 시간을 갖는 스타일인가요? 혹은 사람들과 그 순간을 공유하는 스타일인가요?
후자인 것 같아요. 소중한 사람들하고 함께하는 시간을 매우 좋아하는데, 이건 여행뿐만 아니라 제 일상에서 모든 방식이 그런 것 같아요. 아끼는 사람들이 기뻐하는 모습을 보면 저도 기분 좋고요. 함께하는 무언가에 많은 의미를 두는 스타일이죠.

LA를 배경으로 한 영화 <라라랜드>를 보았나요? 영화의 배경으로 등장한 할리우드 영화 세트장, 그리피스 천문대, 리알토 극장 등 LA의 멋진 스폿들을 볼 수 있죠. 그중 가보았거나 혹은 가보고 싶은 곳이 있나요?
물론이죠. 어렸을 때 그리피스 천문대에 가봤는데 제 기억엔 딱딱한 이미지였던 것 같아요. 그런데 이 영화에서 너무 예쁘게 나와서 깜짝 놀랐어요. 영화에 등장한 재즈 바도 가보고 싶고요. 그 야경을 내다보며 춤추던 곳도 가보고 싶고… 아름다운 장소를 떠나서 최고의 영화였던 것 같아요.

이 영화는 환상적인 뮤지컬 영화 형식을 띠다가 마지막에 사랑의 현실을 담은 리얼리티로 전환되죠. 두 주인공 중 누굴 응원하고 싶으세요?
남녀가 해석이 다르더라고요. 남자들이 오히려 감성적인 평이 많았고, 저도 그랬던 것 같아요. 계속 판타지적인 뮤지컬로 풀다가 마지막에 현실을 대입한 감독의 연출에 놀랐고, 같은 배우로서 ‘배우들이 춤 연습을 많이 했겠구나’ 하는 생각도 했어요. 특히 라이언 고슬링을 굉장히 좋아하는데 처음 보는 모습이 정말 매력적이었어요.

로맨티스트와 리얼리스트 중에 어디에 가까운가요?
라이언 고슬링이 영화 안에서 한 행동을 100퍼센트 공감해요. 사랑하는 여자가 원해서 그렇게 했는데 싶어 엠마 스톤이 미울 때도 있었고요. 그렇다고 뭐 완전 리얼리스트는 아닌 것 같고 로맨티스트가 되고 싶은 리얼리스트라고 할까. 그 로맨틱한 것도 삶의 부분이니까 리얼해야 한다고 생각하는 편이에요. 사랑하는 사람에게 전할 사소한 부분까지도 진심만 들어간다면 전 그게 로맨틱이라고 생각해요.

패션을 보면 그 사람의 스타일을 알 수 있죠. 편안한 타입인지, 혹은 과시욕이 있거나 도전적인지 말이에요. 그런 면에서 정돈된 가운데 편안함을 중요시하는 것 같아요.
늘 가장 편안한 옷을 입어요. 과시하려는 성격이 전혀 아니죠. 연기도 그런 스타일로 하고, 항상 과하지 않으려고 하는 게 몸에 배었어요.

세월이 흐르면 추구하는 것도 달라지곤 하죠. 좀 더 나이가 들었을 때 시도하고 싶은 패션에 대한 로망이 있나요?
예전에 비해 점점 더 클래식한 것에 꽂히는 것 같아요. 슈트에도 눈길이 가고, 액세서리를 하는 스타일이 아닌데도 시계에 관심이 가더라고요. 그렇게 나이 들면서 자연스럽게 변화하는 것 같아요.

나중에 멋지게 나이 들 것 같아요. 지나온 시간은 얼굴에 드러나는 법이니까요.
감사해요. 사실 성격이 얼굴에 묻어나잖아요. 저는 특히 배우라 그런지 배우 선배들과 선생님들을 보면 잘생기고 못생기고를 떠나 얼굴이 편안하다 불편하다는 개념으로 다가와요. 얼굴이 살아온 삶을 반영하는 거죠. 눈빛도 마찬가지인데 매서운 눈빛이 있는가 하면 편한데 강단 있는 눈빛도 있죠. 그래서 잘 살려고 노력해요. 바른 생각을 하고 잘 살아야지 아름답게 늙겠구나라고 생각하며 살아요.

마지막 질문이에요. 어느새 2017년 쏜살같이 흘러가고 있어요. 7월에 영화 <군함도> 개봉을 앞두고 있기도 한데, 올해 꼭 이루고 싶은 바람이 있다면 무엇인가요?
올해 가장 큰 소망이라… 영화의 성공만은 아니에요. 이 영화는 누가 뭐래도 대박이 날 영화니까요. 구성원으로서 제가 참여한 작품에 대한 자신감과 믿음이 있어서 하는 이야기예요. 진짜 소망은 제 개인적인 시간을 그 어느 때보다 알차게 보내는 거예요. 데뷔 이후 한 작품이 끝나면 다음 작품을 해야지 하면서 늘 쫓기듯 지냈거든요. 그래서 올해엔 일에서 잠시 벗어나 그냥 서른세 살 송중기의 시간을 꽉꽉 채워서 보내고 싶어요. 쉬는 거든 노는 거든 여행을 하거나 공부를 하든 제 개인적인 시간을 소중하게 쓰면서 말이죠. 올해가 어머니 환갑이기도 해서 가족과 함께 나누는 시간을 보내야 하기도 하고, 개인적인 휴식도 필요하고요.

여유가 생긴 건가요?
마음의 여유가 생긴 것 같아요. 내게 지금이 그런 시기인 것 같고, 그게 맞는 것 같아요(웃음).

Kim Hyun Joong and ex-gf’s lawsuit dragged on for two years, and it finally ended with the ex-gf ruled to compensate 100M won. Despite the court finally cleared Kim Hyun Joong’s name, the stress that was put upon him and his family through massive force of public opinion even caused Kim Hyun Joong’s mother to pen her suicide note 3 times.

Magazine [Women’s DongA] September issue will be released on 22 Aug with exclusive interview with Kim Hyun Joong’s father, listen to him recalling the pain that was faced over the past two years.

“Everyone said my son is a shameless criminal, Hyun Joong’s mum thus had very extreme thoughts, (she) wrote suicide note three times.” Kim Hyun Joong’s dad said.

This confession also showed how public opinion kills a person, looking back at all the verbal attacks on Kim Hyun Joong and comparing the truth that the court has ruled upon, people are believed to be more discreet (or vigilant) when making comments in future.

On that day SS301 also talked about the other members from SS501 days, they said “[ETERNAL5] means the five person in SS is one (body), currently this is the best. People around us are very worried about the reunion of SS501, because everyone is working very hard on their solo activities, but we constantly heard about a reunion comeback, and also often heard about whether we want to reunite or not(?) these kind of questions.”

(I’m not sure if the chinese article is accurate cos it looks kinda weird to me…)

“Occasionally will meet up for a drink, and also talked a lot on thoughts of the future, will continue moving forward as SS501 again.” expressing that they are still missing SS501 days in their hearts.

Especially when asked about their thoughts on SS501 members Kim Hyun Joong and Park Jung Min, both of them also hold positive and firm attitude. “Jung Min said he has already memorised the choreography, Hyun Joong and his mum also will talk to us on the phone sometimes, it’s really wonderful and they cheered for us too, we will also definitely present the best side of us to everyone.”
