    @nancy131 This year’s baeksang will be a bloody battle for the best actress award lol So many big names kim heesun, kim sunah, go hyunjung, lee boyoung and kim namjoo is having a rave review right now for her acting in misty, the drama broke 5% already and on it’s second ep only. I’m not hoping she’ll get an award this year but a nomination will be appreciated. AJ needs to comeback in dramaland with strong script. But I’m wishing for a movie first :D thanks btw for the vid!

    @nancy131 Actually the word she used was “까불지” which literally means brag/boast/show-off, but for me I think she meant she lost the confidence after finding out there were many who were better(but for me she’s the best ㅋㅋㅋ) 

    AJ can definitely carry a tune, and her vocal color is very beautiful. Even her speaking voice is very nice, many praised her for her pronunciation and tone when MCing the award ceremonies. Well she didn’t hosted baeksang for 6 consecutive years for nothing :wink:

     

     

    And btw I found an interesting story of when did AJ started to like wine...

     

    Kim AJoong was talking about the secret of wine storage. 

     

    “There was a man I really liked back in college. He liked wine and wanted to talk about it a lot. So I made a surprise confession that I signed up as a wine club member.”

     

    Her interest in wine, which began with her affection for his boyfriend, eventually left her with enough knowledge to know how to recognize aged wine and how to preserve the taste of leftovers(wine). 

     

    source

     

    There’s a video interview on weibo during her bizarre bunch days where she showed her secrets, and one is her technique on how to recork a wine but I can’t find the video anymore. If someone has the link hope y’all can share it here :D

    Since there is no update from AJ let’s have some throwback! This blog compiled her previous answers from interviews. Pls bear with me this is a long post, hope y’all read it until the end it took me hours to do this :lol: I corrected some sentence structure from translator and dictionary, so forgive me if there are parts that is lost in translation.

     

    • During school days Kim Ajoong was very outgoing/extroverted and a well-rounded person who studied well. 

     

    Kim: When I was in elementary school I was someone who is greedy with my studies, I was once a student council president. I was the head of the cheering squad during school events when I was in middle school. When we went to a retreat I don’t have much money but the principal said ‘Just come, instead prepare for your talent show’.

    Kim: I was very outgoing and easygoing back then. I went to an all-girls middle school and high school with popular female students around me. Later, after debuting as an entertainer, I became timid.

    Kim: Since I was on TV, I have been able to see myself objectively. Until then, I thought I was quite good at it, but when I found out there were many who were better, I couldn't show off anymore. 

     

    • Kim Ajoong was preparing to be a singer back in high school.

     

    Kim: I was first offered to be a singer when I was in second grade and prepared to make my debut. But things didn't work out well, so I didn't make it. Actually, due to the fact that it is difficult for foreigners to pronounce the word "Ajoong” they named me “June” not “Joong” My stage name was “에이준” (Aijune) at that time. (She mentioned this also during her bday vlive)

    Kim: Eventually, I failed to become a singer, so I need to study for 1 year to enter the broadcasting department of Dongduk University and become an actress in the end. As a matter of fact, my original dream was to be an actor. I wanted to be on TV and make people laugh and cry when I was a kid.

     

    • In 2005, Kim Ajoong acted as a supporting actor in “Romance Meets Destiny” and became very popular due to the 2006 movie “200 Pounds Beauty”. 

     

    Kim: After “200 Pounds Beauty” I was offered to release an album in China, Japan and Singapore because they thought I was a real singer. But I didn’t think it was the right time so I refused it them. 

     

    • After gaining great popularity with “200 Pounds Beauty” Kim Ajoong went to graduate school of Journalism at Korea University in 2007. (She graduated in 2011 with a Master’s degree)

     

    Kim: I went to graduate school because I wanted to expand my perspective and personal connection. In fact, it is good to meet various kinds of people to broaden the acting range. 

    Kim: I did not miss out welcome parties for freshmen or various school events thanks to that I got close to my classmates and got along well with my professors. My close friend at that time was a Marine professional soldier who was 3-4 years older than me. I also got close with his wife. (This is cute lol) 

     

    • As a reference, Kim Ajoong has a book called "Emotional Communication" with Professor Kim Kwangsoo of Korea University Department of Journalism. This book is good enough to be adopted as a liberal arts material by the Faculty of Journalism at Seoul National University of the first semester in 2010

     

    Kim: During my first semester in graduate school, I took Professor Kim Kwang-soo's class called “Emotional Communication”. However, during lectures I felt like I was always doing confession and I felt emotionally comforted. Professor Kim Kwangsoo suggested that we prepare a book since there is no publication of a book in film department that deals with emotions. 

    Kim: In the book there is a phrase that says, “The quality of life is affected by how you feel.” Certainly, depending on whether you are suffering from sadness or anger the quality of life and even life itself often changes.

    Kim: When someone start to put the blame on me I get very sad. When someone has something to be angry with and finds a reason to accuse something against you, he or she (most people) becomes enraged. Because I made mistake and got blamed it pains me and get sad a lot of time. 

    Kim: Of all the emotions felt by humans, I think sorrow is the most uncontrollable. It is inanimate and there is no way to eliminate. When sorrow builds up it becomes chronic and falls into depression. 

    Kim: To overcome grief, it would be best to find out why you’re sad, make improvements, and live in line with your life schedule. 

     

    Spoiler

    • Kim Ajoong has no regrets, She does 1 work every 2-3 years. For a recognizable actress like her, she has little activity.

     

    Kim: I have missed a lot of good works. When choosing a piece I thought I should do only a work that I think I can do well, because I am responsible for it.

    Kim: But I have no regrets about that. I'm not even sure if I can do it if I had appeared in the projects I missed. 

    Kim: It’s good to show a variety of performances at a young age, the roles that were offered to me for a while are mainly entertainers, singers and even chaebol. Strangely for me I don’t find those roles attractive. 

     

    • Kim Ajoong got involved in a controversy in 2011, the truth behind her tax evasion case. 

     

    Kim: I thought I am paying my taxes faithfully. But I learned something I didn't know very well from this experience. As a Korean citizen, I promise to faithfully fulfill my duties in accordance with the legal procedures.

    Kim: My manager is the one who is in charge of all my schedules, and the tax accountant was in charge of my income tax. I thought all I had to do was work hard, but I think it was my mistake not to check my income tax personally. I only visit my tax accountant office once a year, and I realized that it was such an unprofessional behavior.

     

    • Kim Ajoong’s Love Confession

     

    Kim: The reason I haven't had any romantic relationship is because I don’t have interest for it now. I don't think I'm the type to hide or conceal. Whatever you do, you will be caught anyway.

    Kim: (Ideal type) I like men who usually have a good voice and have good manners. You can lie about your looks and eyes, but you can't fake your voice. 

    Kim: In fact, I talked only about looks and voice but that is not my absolute standard. I like a man who shows charm in everything. Therefore, when someone shows confidence and enthusiasm in one’s work it makes them attractive. I don’t like muscular type of men, I also like humorous person who reduces anxiety. (But her ideal type tends to change over time :tongue:)

    Kim: (Marriage Ideals) I’m not a celibatarian, but I don’t have the confidence to get married yet. I don't know yet what it's like to make a home with someone and live with them for the rest of our lives thinking we're one.

    Kim: My mother said I shouldn’t be ashamed of dating scandals at this age, but there is no pressure to get married yet. I think I should get married before 40.

     

    In this blog she also addressed her plastic surgery rumor and her company said the pictures that circulate in the internet is not her. Pfft! Hope people will stop spreading this rumors :angry: The interviewer also said that AJ has an interesting political disposition but I didn’t get to trans bc it’s hard to grasp her answer. Guess I need to improve my korean ㅋㅋ 

     

     

     

    Spoiler

    In this article she said her older brother is in the process of becoming a film director bc it’s his dream?? She said she hopes to have a project with him in the future like director ryoo seungwan and his brother actor ryoo

    seungbum.

    Reading her past interviews made me appreciate, understand and love her more. Such an amazing lady :wub:

    @siena The people who saw her are so lucky :bawling: 

    I personally like how BSH directs his films, so hoping he will cast AJ again. The screams for SKG during movie awards last year is no joke lol

     

    Here some tweets mentioning they want AJ again in his film, one said he/she will jump on Han river if he will cast AJ ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

    @nancy131 I was having a hard time finding the other parts of that strong heart guesting, thanks for the vid. Actually I watched the movie 26 years, the female lead had some action scenes and thought that it would’ve been nice if Ajoong was casted again. Investors pulled out bc of the sensitive content of the film that’s why it got halted. It’s a crowdfunding production so it finally push through tho the casting had some changes. Of all her dramas I have a soft spot for ‘That Fool’ it is such a healing drama :wub: Maybe AJ felt at that time too, having someone like Goo Dongbaek in her life would be really great? Lol but I’m pretty sure not with Hwang Jungmin sunbae bc he’s already married at that time :lol:

    This post is currently on top 3 of instiz and it’s gaining 400+ comments right now. 

    http://www.instiz.net/pt?no=5007723&page=1&k=김아중&stype=9

     

    The OP summarizes how 2 weeks before the production of 200 pounds beauty they can’t still find a female lead, many rejected it bc they have to wear a suit and it will take 3-4 hours of prosthetics to be done. The female lead need to sing in the film, and the scenario/topic is a bit sensitive. Uri Ajoong took the risk tho she’s still a newbie at that time but the movie hit daebak. Many CF deals were offered to her after the movie, the OP said you can hear ‘Maria’ everywhere and people were singing the song at the karaoke. She caused a sensation!!

     

    edit:

    It was first offered to ko soyoung, kim heesun, lee nayoung, and soo ae but they all rejected it. Commenters are saying they can’t imagine someone doing it aside from Ajoong. Some considered this as AJ life’s work. :lol:

     

    Comments are flooded saying how she’s so beautiful in the movie, and thought at that time that she is the most beautiful celebrity in korea lol. They never knew she is just a newbie bc her acting is already so good and the fact that she used her own singing voice commenters found it really amazing. 역시 갓아중 ㅋㅋㅋ

     

    Tbh I rewatched the movie many times haha She’s just so cute there and her acting is so goodㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

     

     

    @siena We miss her a lot!!! I want to hear a casting news this month :lol: Or even a selca will do I’m desperate ;(((

    She asked her mom at what age she should get married, then her mom said “beyond 35 years old” then she wittily replied “ah so you want me to bring you a lot of money” ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ but that is not what her mom meant, she said that her mom want her to enjoy life, do what she wants, meet good friends etc. before getting married ( bc she’s only 29 years old at that time) 

     

    I can catch a little bit but my comprehension is still lacking ;(( Chinese fans are so lucky to find all these past videos and they are consistent at subbing it. 

     

    And so many casting news these days, I’m envious... :bawling:

    If they didn’t lose contact and were still at least sending each other texts from time to time, she would have known about the commentary schedule even if her agency messed up.

     

    You got a point, and KAJ said before she is the type of person who doesn’t contact her past co-star when he is “currently” doing a project of his own. Since both are very professional that is the case? hehe

     

    Hope they will resolve this conflict, let’s pray for the best ^_^

    A video of Ajoong attending Yoo Jaesuk’s wedding, you can start at 4:50 her interview is so funny because of comedienne Lee Youngja ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

     

     

    Since kaj is acquainted with a lot of comedians I hope she can visit more variety shows this year. She said during her radio guesting with kwill she wanted to guest on running man, a reunion with yoo jaesuk would be good :D

    I watched this some time ago but I just remembered it now so sharing you all this vid about her SWIFF talk, June last year 

     

    She watched a female-centric film with some students and with Director Byun Youngjoo. 

     

    Students were given a chance to asked kaj and director byj, someone asked the director if she wants to work with kaj and then the director revealed that she is a fan of kaj and she first offered the movie “helpless” to kaj but she can’t do it at that time bc of her drama “sign”. Then the director continued saying she wants to work with her in the future and this is her reaction

    giphy.gif

    cute right? :wub:

     

    Some students asked kaj and I think bc she gave a good answer she got applaud from everyone hehe and everyone keep saying she match this/that kind of role the director said, did you bring your fans club? ㅋㅋㅋ 

     

    I suggest you watch that vid and see her cute reactions :lol:

    @siena thanks gotta save those pics :lol:

     

    Actually I kind of imagine KAJ marrying someone not from the entertainment industry, bc she said in the interview with PKL she’s hesitant to date someone who is known to the public bc once they broke up you’ll get those labels as “someone’s ex”. Maybe like Jun Jihyun? a quiet private life would be good, but since it will be KAJ decision whoever makes her happy is enough whether it’s from the entertainement industry or not I’ll support her. Ofc she will be a great wife and mom :wink:

    @siena I really think we’re on the same page ㅋㅋㅋ

     

    I have a confession to make haha Jo Insung is like my ultimate male bias, been a fan since his TWTWB days. And you don’t know all how I keep rewatching KAJ and JIS scenes in The King :lol: So last week I rewatch his 2days1night guesting, the theme was like each member should bring a friend and Cha Taehyun called JIS. But the late Kim Joohyuk doesn’t know who to bring so he went to Namoo Ent. and look what I found they try to call KAJ :D

    XnGE5SB_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&f

    O2o51ZP_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&f

     

    The first time I watch that ep didn’t notice bc I’m still not a fan of KAJ at that time but now look at me ㅋㅋㅋㅋ But KAJ ended up not answering the call and the ceo went himself with KJH. 

     

    Anyways I only keep it to myself but I call JIS and KAJ my beanie couple bc both loves to wear it :lol:

    JIS is also a long time friend of Park Kyunglim they were on the same sitcom called Nonstop back in 2000 and he attended PKL wedding also. Oh and btw Kim Jaedong was also there in 2D1N ep with JIS and is also his good friend. I’m happy to find all this connection with our girl since both are my ultimate. :tongue: So yea I want another project with them soon bc I’m still bitter with how small KAJ screentime in The King <_< (but she’s a scene stealer there so that’ll do) LOL

     

    Pls bear with me sorry for this long post chinggus. hehe
