Singer, Kim Hyun Joong will be contributing to the creation of tvN‘s ‘The Wedding Scheme‘ OST! After hearing that Lee Min Woo would be directing a new romantic comedy drama, Kim Hyun Joong immediately volunteered to give a hand by singing the OST for the drama. Lee Min Woo is famous for his past project, drama ‘Boys Over Flowers‘, which was immensely popular. Kim Hyun Joong befriended director Lee Min Woo and has been in close contact ever since. Kim Hyun Joong will be singing the drama’s main theme song, “If You’re like Me“, which is described as sorrowful, yet elegant. Different from the rougher and more powerful sounds Kim Hyun Joong displayed in his previous title tracks, “Breakdown” and “Lucky Guy“, he will be showcasing a softer and sweeter voice this time around. The OST will be revealed as a teaser through Mnet‘s homepage and other online music sites. The official release date is April 3rd. Source + Photos: Chosun via Naver

Kim Hyun Joong’s fashion and music recently captured the public’s attention at a collection. On March 24, the ’2012 Tokyo Girls Collection’ was held in Shanghai, China. Besides Kim, many stars, including Park Shin Hye, Sasaki Nozomi, and more, who represent Korea, China, and Japan, attended the collection. Kim was invited to the collection, which is a grand-scale event that combines music and fashion, to make a grand finale and present his magnificent appearance as a K-pop star. Kim heated up the collection by singing “Do You Like That” and “Lucky Guy.” The attendants gave him hearty cheers during the performance.

- a man arriving in Shanghai said: "Hongqiao Airport is maxed out, fans everywhere, many SLRs, KHJ really so magnetic. My shoes are gonna be stepped on until broken!"

@5StarsAs1
- a fan wanted to pass a letter to HJ but instead she kept on pressing the letter on HJ's face. __.__;; No worries, Mr. Jeong was there ^^
- HJ's performance will be the last (before closing ceremony) which means he would probably be appearing around 10pm (11pm KST).
*aigoo....that's 1am here in Sydney.

- HJ waved to fans from inside the car who were following him in taxis/cars to the TGC event hall!! (credit: weibo)

In the midst of JYJ's sasaeng fans' controversies, Kim HyunJoong's generous attitude towards the sasaeng fans have became a topic.

Recently in one of the community site, a topic on 'Kim HyunJoong's attitude towards the sasaengs' together with the video clip have captured many netizens' attentions. This had become a even hotter topic after JYJ members' Park Yoochun & Kim Jaejoong's sasaeng fans' controversies have broken out earlier today.

In the video, fans were waiting for SS501 outside their company building. Fans who were capturing the video of Kim HyunJoong & Kim Kyujong were immediately stopped by their managers. However, Kim HyunJoong was smiling and exclaiming 'Take! Take!' (take all the photos they wished)

Netizens who were surprised of Kim HyunJoong's generous attitude commented, 'Kim HyunJoong really have a nice attitude', 'Be able to maintain his cordiality in that kind of situation, he is truly big-hearted' and etc.

On the other hand, in the topic of idol stars' sasaeng fans' controversies, many fans have voiced out their different opinions on this controversies.

'From the airport to their homes, sasaeng fans have been monitoring the stars' each and every moves, this is infringement of one's rights' and 'Without the fans, the idol stars won't be able to survive. So, it's their fault to cuss & attack the fans' and many other opinions were left by the netizens.

Side-note: The news used the word 대인배 to describe KHJ's attitude towards sasaengs which means he's cordial & tolerant. Another actual word for 대인배 is 소인배 or 군자 which means gentleman. But 대인배 is more common now as it's a new modern terminology.

What is Saseng? Clear View About Saseng (from SunniKr)

Sasaeng fans:
it seems that not everyone in the k-fandom completely understands what a “sasaeng fan” is. the extremely toned down version of a “sasaeng fan” is
stalker. but sasaeng fans are not infamous for stalking idols. they are infamous for far worse things, and there have been extremely many physical accounts between sasaengs and idols.

it basically begins with a group of people who come together. then they each take turns stalking out at various places, mostly the idols’ dorms, radio recording sites, offices, etc. and when they see the idols leaving an area, they will text the others and say “come to (insert area here) right now, they are leaving.”

and the others, from wherever they are, get to that place as soon as they can to wait for the members. idols and managers even know some groups of sasaeng fans by face and name, and these “fans” will
physically try to go and hold onto the idols, swear and insult at them, touch them inappropriately, HIT and bruise the idols, and follow them
around EVERYWHERE. they will knock on the manager’s vans to get them to
open the window, bruise the members’ faces to leave marks, pull out
their hair to “keep”, etc. therefore the managers must constantly
protect these idols from harm and molestation, and to many korean fans,
it is absolutely no wonder as to

'why idols and managers lose their temper with these “fans”.'

there are many fanaccounts and blogs that belong to sasaeng fans who
write things like, “i touched his butt! i grabbed his crotch! i slapped
his face and now he has a bruise made by me!” these fans also call the
idols and ask, “where are you? tell me where you are!” and try various
methods in tracking down the idols. also, as they wait outside
buildings, fans smoke and rudely throw burnt out cigarettes at the
buildings, scream in the middle of the night outside their dorms to get
the members’ attention, etc.
other sasaeng fans travel through taxi. basically, the fans have to
pay the taxi driver a large sum of money, and in return they follow the
specific idol(s) for twenty four hours. if the fan does not have enough
money to spend, she would offer to have sex with the driver.
these fans have also been known for sending nude pictures to idols,
breaking into their homes (and like one infamous incident: pee on their
towels and hang them up on a rack), sending “gifts” such as writing in
period blood or pads drenched in period blood, etc. they have physically
hurt idols, in such occasions that the managers have to beat back at
the fans to protect the members. they even sell the idols’ phone numbers
and social security numbers online.
it is all extremely and negatively hardcore, and this is
only a fourth of the many things sasaeng fans do to idols. to
underestimate these fans and simply label them off as “any other fan” is
insulting. many korean fans refuse to call them fans.
they have been known to harm idols, more than anything, and are exactly
what managers protect idols from. sasaeng fans are ultimately dangerous.
