TV Host: Now we're bringing you to see SS501 member Kim Hyun Joong, after going solo, he's come to Taiwan for a fan-meet. But a thunder storm in the afternoon caused the whole event to be delayed by 45 minutes.

HJ: "Long time (no) see...Hello everybody, I am Kim Hyun Joong."

TV Host: "Long time no see" - Kim Hyun Joong used Chinese to greet fans. The atmosphere at the event was very high. Originally the event was supposed to start at 3pm but the sudden thunder storm delayed it for up to 45 minutes.

The rain was really very heavy, together with lighting and thunder, but all these totally didn't dampen fan's warm enthusiasm.

Standing under their umbrellas under the heavy rain, the fans didn't mind it at all as they just wanted to catch a glimpse of their idol in person.

2) CTI News at 8: Kim Hyun Joong High Five Taipei Fan-meet

Translated by OnlyKHJtimes (@onlykhjtimes on Twitter)
[Note: All re-posts must be with full credit + link back to site]

TV Host: His schedule was to meet with 500 fans at a hand-shake event but because of his incredible popularity, the event venue was crowded by more than 3,000 people, but Kim Hyun Joong was late by about 50 minutes – fans suffered a long wait and eventually also be totally drenched.
MC: Annyeonghaseyo…
HJ: “Long time (no) see…Hello everybody, I am Kim Hyun Joong.”
Voice-Over: Korean idol Kim Hyun Joong instantly greeted everyone in Chinese when he appeared on stage. The fans below screamed in response but couldn’t really see anything because a bout of thunderstorm caused the 3000-over fans at the event to put up their umbrellas.
Everyone was totally drenched and on top of it, the idol was late by 50 minutes so it was unavoidable that some had some complaints.
Fan1: It doesn’t feel so good really because he was very late and it rained very heavily.
Fan2: He’s very warm and friendly so it’s okay!

VO: Fans were still very enthusiastic but the bout of thunderstorm messed up the event’s original scheduled activities, causing the part where KHJ would dance Break Down as well as a photo-taking session to be cancelled; only the shake-hand session with the selected 500 lucky fans who had purchased his album earlier continued as normal.
VO: It’s just for this moment (referring to the screen where HJ was shaking hands with fans with a warm smile) that fans totally expended all their efforts.
Fan3: I came from Kaohsiung today and have used up about TWD 5000, including bus fare and some merchandise…
Fan 4: I came here at 10.30pm yesterday night to queue up and I was the first one here, there wasn’t anybody yet.
VO: To see their idol, no matter how much suffering they have to go through is also fine but coincidentally, when Kim Hyun Joong with the nick-name U:zoosin opened his mouth (to say a few words), thunder boomed.
HJ: …Just want to say one thing…I love you all, and thank you all.
VO: And it was just with this word “I love you”, the thunderstorm poured heavily right after. Originally scheduled to last for 1-hour, Kim Hyun Joong only appeared for 30 minutes but this didn’t dampen fan’s enthusiasm at all.
Fans shouting: Kim Hyun Joong, we love you!

3) TVBS News2-Kim Hyun Joong arrives in Taiwan

Translated by OnlyKHJtimes (@onlykhjtimes on Twitter)
[Note: All re-posts must be with full credit + link back to site]

VO: Just as Korean star Kim Hyun Joong came out from the plane, fans and the media immediately crowded in together and the situation turned chaotic.
Unable to wait (patiently) for KHJ to exit the immigration as fans were in hot pursuit to take his pictures, (so) immigration officers at the airport opened up a special lane for him to pass through, causing some tourists who were waited at the scene to express some dissatisfaction.

Tourist1: I think that's not very nice.

VO: Kim Hyun Joong took a 12pm plane to come to Taiwan and on arrival, dressed in all black, coupled with black sun-glasses, rushed through immigration with the help of the staffs.
A large group of fans who were waiting for him had completely crowded the airport and airport staffs had to link hands to erect a human barrier for fear of a total loss of control of the situation.
Kim Hyun Joong has specially come to Taiwan this time for a fan-meet and a poll was organised - the fan-girl who was selected No. 1 would get see Kim Hyun Joong go down on his knees with a bouquet of flowers to demonstrate a marriage proposal. But just as the lucky fan-girl was selected, other fans started leaving resentful comments on the Internet.

Fan-girl: That's just...nevermind. Never mind. (in response to the girl's selection)

[Screen-capture of computer screen reads: If you are free, please vote for me! Thank you [heart] - No. 4...]

VO: The dissatisfaction of fans were all posted online and some even left words that they would show their dissatisfaction to this lucky fan-girl.
[Screen-capture of computer screen reads: Be careful that on the event day you would be splashed with...(translator's note: can't see the rest clearly so won't translate all - suffice to say it sounds like a threat)]

VO: This caused the organisers to be anxious and so they even rehearsed an escape route in advance for the girl, to avoid any untoward incidents on the day of the event.

Please repost with full credit! Thanx!

How do you feel when you arrived here in Vietnam?
-(Smile) Actually, I was landed here very late last night so I couldn’t see your city. But this morning when I woke up, I have observed the city from the hotel’s balcony and It was so cool. I arrived lately and the weather quite hot,  I have never experienced this kind of weather before.

Do you know that in Vietnam, you’re very famous and the members in your fanclub is even “bigger” than other Vietnamese  artists’ ?
-As you have known, the K-pop industry is very popular in Vietnam and it has made a deep impression on teenagers here. I’m very happy because of the love that Vietnamese fans gave me. Last night, although it was very late but they still waited for me at the airport, and it was really hard for me to get out of the crowd. That’s the motivation which makes me work harder.

However, when you see the Vietnamese fans, you was quite frosty and seems like you didn’t smile much, that makes the fans feel not really close?
-(Smile) Oh, it was not like that. When I arrived here, I didn’t expect that there was so many fans brought  the banners and posters to welcome my first time in Vietnam.  I’m very worried about the security here. I worried that something bad will happens to them and I always tell the manager to protect them. It makes me nervous so you have the feeling that I’m not friendly

Many Korean stars come to Vietnam felt very impressive on their fans ‘s cheerfulness, and even some of them felt uncomfortable because of “the crazy fans”. What about you, do you feel uncomfortable because of “the crazy fans” ?
-I don’t feel like that about the cheerfulness or craziness from my fans. The cheerfulness of the fans makes me feel confident so that I could be stronger. I will have to remind myself to work harder in every movies and also in my music to make sure that you’ll always love me.

These days, you have “exploded” with the new concept, and your blonde hair in “Boys over flowers drama” was disparaged about your gender. Was that the reason why you changed your image?
-(Laugh) What an interesting question! However, I’m an actor so changing the concept that make the audience “feel” my character is needed.
These days, I have changed to a strong, menly concept because I always want to bring something new to the audience. It’s the purpose that almost artists want to do.

Kim Hyun Joong sometimes look strong, manly and sometimes look cute…So how is the real “people” inside you?
-I’m very manly, just think about me like that.

Recently, your song “Please” was banned because it caused a bad effect on children. How do you feel?
-This song is for adult, it was banned because the culture in each country is different.  But I think you can listen to it.

With the love of Vietnamese fans, what will you do to say “thanks” to them?
I’m very happy and touched because of the fans. Waiting for hours at the airport although it was late. I’ll have a meeting with you guys  tomorrow. If I would have a chance, I hope to hold a concert in Vietnam in the future ^^.

Kim Hyun Joong “stir-up” Vincom Plaza, Ho Chi Minh City Today, Aug 11, after the press conference and resting time in the morning,

Kim Hyun Joong arrived to Vincom at around 3:00pm as plan Because HyunJoong’s schedule this time is publicly announced on TFS website, since early time, fans have been waiting at the area around Vincom.

In order to have the most up-close and best view, some fans even “picnic” outside of Vincom waiting for the appearance of their idol.

The environment becomes even more excited when it gets close to the time when JiHoo of F4 is about to arrive Vincom. Banners, posters, cheering slogans, hugs, sweat…and even tears of fans create an interesting and diversified environment to Vincom Plaza.

At 3:00pm, Kim Hyun Joong appeared with the loud cheering of fans. The chant for Hyun Joong is endless. Moreover, some fans even have dangerous actions by trying to break the barrier to get up-close pic of HJL even though the security staffs have warned them.

Among the fans coming to the plaza today, there are also fans from Japan and Korea. In response to the comment that HJ has “cold-face,” Hyun Joong explains that because of his busy schedules and the long night flight, he was a bit tired yesterday. Also, he worried for fans who have chased after his car. To show his friendliness and warm-heartedness, his smile this afternoon is really “melting.”

Hyun Joong also signs and takes photos with lucky fans who have won the raffle from TFS. As a really famous Korean singer/actor, the enthusiasm of fans is not only seen within Vietnam but also other Asian countries. After the success with the movie Boys Over Flower, JiHoo of F4 has quickly become a hallyu star. Although Playful Kiss is not as successful as BOF, HJ’s appearance in the drama also helps in the rating of the drama.

The visit of HJ to TFS store only lasts about 15mins. Despite the thirst to see idol of fans, KHJ quickly returned to his car which has already waited outside. After HJ says goodbye to fans, the excited air at Vincom is stirred up again. Fans even push security staffs in order to run after their idols. It is known that some fans still wait at Vincom after HJL already left with the hope to catch a glimpse of HJ.

Tomorrow, Aug 12, Hyun Joong will visit one more TFS store and then attend the fan meeting event in the afternoon with about 3,000 fans attending. After that, HJ will take the night flight back to Korea.

English Translation by Admin Angel4N

Up-close to HyunJoong at hotel room HyunJoong is very friendly in the interview at his private room, although he rarely shows his “heart-melting” smile.

Reporter: What is your feeling when you see your fans waiting for you at the airport and hotel last night?

HJL: I’m really surprised and happy. It’s beyond my imagination about Vietnamese fans’ love for me. However, because fans were waiting at night, I worried about their safety

Reporter: There is comment that you “rarely” smile this time coming to Vietnam!

HJL: Partly because the flight was so late at night. Also, the reason is that I worry about fans’ safety. I hope that in next activities and at fan meeting event, I’ll be able to communicate with all my fans.

Reporter: Recently, your song “Please” got banned as harmful media in Korea. What do you think about this?

HJL: This is a song with performance style for adults, so I think you guys can listen to it

Reporter: After winning the heart of so many people in Asia, do you plan to expand into the world music industry?

HJL: Right now I’m having activities in Asia. Of course, I want to expand my work to all over the world. I’m having a plan for next year. (OMO..this admin Angel4N is jumping up and down when I see this. US please oppa)
