Fans of Asian dramas and K-pop are well aware of the name Kim Joon. He is one of those people whose talent is clearly manifested in everything, whether it is about music, acting, dancing, singing career. And it's not just about appealing looks. A lot of young and beautiful stars light up. But rarely do any of them achieve truly stunning heights.
Meet Kim Hyun Joon
The biography of the actor is described in sufficient detail by his fans. Fans painstakingly collect facts from the life of their idol and generously share them.
So, the actor was born in Seoul in 1986. His closest people are his parents and older brother. He has a very close relationship with them. Parents are still happy to recall the childhood of the future star. Noting the incredible energy of a boy who seemed to be doing everywhere, it seems, they still wonder how easily Kim Joon studied. However, they did not think about a creative career for their son.
The boy successfully performed at mathematical olympiads, winning victories. He did not bypass art competitions, where he also took first places. And the music teachers kept telling their parents about the serious development of talent (Kim started playing the guitar from the third grade of high school).
The father was opposed to the fact that the son chose a too risky path and became an actor. He wanted to see him as a student at Seoul University. But June was cast for the trainee singer. And did not lose.
An interesting fact: Kim carefully kept the money awards he received at various school olympiads, and when he needed to help his older brother pay for his studies in the USA, he gladly gave him 300 million won. It is quite a lot of money, especially considering the fact that the financial situation of the family has been greatly shaken during the crisis.
Carier start
In 2005, Kim Hyun Joong first appeared in the SS501 group. The biography of that period is the story of the rapid rise of the star. The leader of the new group very soon became a real idol. And the group itself for a long time did not leave the tops of musical ratings. SS501 members were guests on the set of many TV shows. And in 2008, the leader of the group was invited to play a role in the drama "Boys are Beautifuler than Flowers".
First role
The drama Boys Over Flower (we translate its name as “Boys are More Beautiful than Flowers” ​​or “Flowers after Berries”) has revealed to fans the acting talent of June.
The series has gained incredible popularity in Asia. Then his fame stepped far beyond Korea. In addition to enthusiastic responses in Taiwan, Japan, China, Vietnam, India, Nepal, Singapore, the drama quickly gained fans in the West. After the release of the TV version with English translation in the United States, copies of the discs were distributed worldwide. And in Russia there are plenty of fans of "Flowers".
It should be noted that Kim Joon was very anxious about the filming process. Stress and fatigue turned into health problems. The actor even lost consciousness when work was underway to create an advertising clip for Gangnam (a sports brand). This has caused concern in the press and among fans around the world.
But, despite this, Kim did not cancel any of the planned events and left with his group for Japan.
A naughty kiss and a change in life
In 2010, another picture was released with an actor named Kim Joon. The filmography of the actor was replenished with the tape "Mischievous Kiss". In it, he played a very cold guy, smart and impregnable.
The series was no less successful than the previous drama. And June only strengthened his position as an actor. The career of the star continued to gain momentum. He was chosen as the face of the cosmetics brand Tony Moly. He was also named one of the most stylish and beautiful actors in Korea. In 2010, the contract with SS501 is also ending. And June took up his solo career.
Not too noticeable in 2010 was the shooting in the mini-drama for mobile phones “Pygmalion’s Love”. Although many critics noted the extraordinary penetration of history.
Image change
In 2011, Kim released his first mini-solo album. Then he actively began to record new songs, shoot videos, and tour.
2014 pleased fans with the release of a new project. Actor Kim Hyun Joon dramatically changed his image and appeared in the series "Generation of the Young" in a brutal manner.
The plot of the tape tells the story of a young guy forced to survive by the strict rules prevailing in Shanghai of the 30s of the last century. At that time, the city was embroiled in a gang war. Actions unfold against the backdrop of the Japanese occupation and revolution.
And although there was a place for romance in the drama, it also has a lot of action. The protagonist acts tough, and sometimes frankly cruel. But he also reveals himself as a true friend and caring lover.
June, for the role, worked on his figure, giving her more masculinity. Fans noted his pumped up body. In addition, it is clear that the actor has grown emotionally. He perfectly succeeds in tense, complex scenes. June’s new look formed the basis of his photo shoot for The Star.
A bit about personal
Many fans are interested in whether Kim Hyun Joon is married. The personal life of the actor, with all his openness, is not a topic much discussed in the press. Kim himself does not hide information about himself, but also does not voice specific names. It is only known that he is definitely not married yet, he is putting off such a crucial step for later. Now, according to him, all his aspirations are aimed at a career. He wants to achieve a lot and try himself everywhere.
In an interview, Kim eagerly discusses the qualities that his future wife should possess. He wants to see a girl next to him, who would share his interests and be a friend. Kim admits that he is not a romantic at all, and he is somewhat frightened by the prospect of romantic courtship adopted among the “couples”.
In one show, June admitted that more than once the girls threw him. And sometimes he himself was to blame for the break. Well, idols have misses.
For friends, Kim Joon is honest and sweet. And the members of the SS501 group called him Puppy, because his face strongly resembles the face of a gentle doggie.
Kim Hyun Joon has not even stepped over the thirty-year milestone. And, presumably, many more of his works await fans of his talent both in music and in cinema. The new project “Generation of the Young” has already demonstrated the actor’s ability to get out of the familiar role of cute young men. Perhaps in the future his filmography will be replenished with the most multi-genre paintings.
