I also look forward to attending this fan meeting.
You have a song called ‘Lucky Guy’. Do you think you’re a lucky person? Why? I think I am a very happy person currently, because I can do both music and acting, and is well-loved by people when doing both.
What’s the biggest difference between Hallyu star Kim Hyun Joong and normal guy Kim Hyun Joong? I feel that Hallyu star Kim Hyun Joong and normal guy Kim Hyun Joong is very different. Hallyu star Kim Hyun Joong tries to show his perfect side to the fans, whereas the normal Kim Hyun Joong leads a normal life just like the others. I spend my time reading cartoons and playing soccer.
What are some of your future plans? Will you be releasing another album, or participate in any drama this year? I want to be able to do well in both music and acting, and not just focus on one particular area. This year, I plan to have album activities and acting. While preparing for this upcoming fan meeting, I’m also looking at good drama or movie scripts. I’ll try to show my fans a better side, so please look forward to it.
