IT's good the microphone('s volume) is big enough.

You've never heard of it? (+_+)

Oh, Isn't there yet?
Probably one more (fan sign event) is planned.

This time, I took much care in quality but it won't be that expensive. 
I have prepared the Limited Edition (ROUND 3) beforehand so that 
it might be able to be revealed around next week.

(Fans asking him to sign on it) 
That's not what I can decide. better ask CJ.. 

Anyway, please look forward to the LE. It will include MV making films, 
losing 'erotic parts' 
(Some fans asking not to lose that part lol ) 
Well, it was censored and tagged with 19 and older rating.

impossible.. 

Anyway, there will be one more 'Gentleman' stage. on Inkigayo. 
Probably it will be pre-recorded. 
Please support to the end of this promotional period.

How was 'Gentleman' today?
(Fans answering, it was cute!! )

I think the cute concept will be the last time. 
I monitored it and thought I couldn't do it any more.

【BFF Ep 19 Preview (HJ part)】

'Eating at home project' 
BFF members mission is to cook for a celebrity who lived alone. After learning some recipes from Na Wonnimm, the team visited Tony Ahn's home to cook for him

However Kim Hyun Joong and En Ji Won volunteered to cook, saying they were good at cooking and that caused a cooking showdown.

Kim Hyun Joong adhered to basic cooking principles versus En Ji Won followed his own cooking methods without principle to make highly addictive dishes.

While everyone was worried, En Ji Won confidently started cooking and that made everyone wonder what it would taste like.

I have one word for you Kiakaka! Kiakaka! While I laughed at him at first? I'm going to go out and say Kim Hyun Joong had one of the best performances of the night. I wonder, how much work the cast themselves had to do with the production of these songs? When Uee, at the top of the show said "I wrote it. I produced it." My gut instinct was: ummm.....no you didn't. And my gut is seldom wrong. The cast did so well with their performances, I was so proud of them--I was even glad to hear Kang Ho-dong's performance all over again!

 Did anyone else think it was super funny that the performances were jam packed with guest singers: Tablo, Epik High, Dynamic Duo, Jung Eun Ji, one of Uee's band mates (I was so happy to see one of her band-mates supporting her) Juniel, some guy from 2PM, and whoever that older rapper guy was that the crowd went wild for during Jong-shin's performance and yet, with all those stars the one who was missing? Suzy. The one girl we saw Eun Ji Won and Epik High try so hard to get? I'd say it's ironic but I'm pretty wary about using that word wrong. This is the first time we've had two completely different challenges in one episode. This next challenge? Hmm... it's a mixed bag for me. I had so much fun when they were talking about the diets of the stars. I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before--but I have this weird thing about loving watching the stars eat. It's right up there with watching them sleep. No, not in a creepy stalker way, more in a, "Hey, these guys are real people too!" sort of way. I was really disappointed that they only showed Kang Ho Dong and Yoon Shi Yoon's eating habits. I bet they thought it would be boring if we went through everyone, but not for me! Maybe it's that disappointment which colored the rest of the episode for me. I was a little, I hate to say it, bored. It was all: Wow, that lady has a lot of refrigerators. Wow, she has a lot of food. Well, let's now try the ingredients. Hrm. Maybe it just went on for too long. Although I do have to say, I love the fact that she had personalized cupcakes for the cast to take home with them. Now that's a crazy over the top touch!Oh, and I had to laugh at her insistence on everyone using new chopsticks. This is the first time I've ever seen double dipping frowned on in Kdrama. When I first started watching it weirded me out, everyone eating from the same bowl, but now it just seems natural! And let me just say--I miss Eunhyuk! So this means he's missing 2 challenges? But...but...unfair! Yes, I still have Yoon Shi Yoon. Yes, I still have Kim Hyun Joong. Yes, I still have Eun Ji Won to cheer for. But it's not the same. On top of that--it looks like Kim Hyun Joong isn't there for the rest of the cooking challenge! Two favorites down? I don't know what I'm going to do with myself!Top 5 Moments.1)  KHJ performance: As I said at the top--this was so freaking cool! I liked the song, I actually liked the message behind it, and it shows that Kim Hyun Joong is one great performer. I'd actually like to have this song for myself.Kiakaka! 2) Yoon Shi Yoon performance. I didn't see how this was going to work at first. How can you have cutesy Yoon Shi Yoon rapping? Well, first I forgot he's an actor and second I forgot that a rap song doesn't have to be fast. When he first started going I squealed because I thought it sounded just like a Tablo song. Which makes sense because Tablo did help produce it and I think Tablo is the king of the slow, thought out rap. And then when he came out and joined him? Woot! 3) Kang Ho Dong eating. This part of the episode was such a hoot. From seeing the reactions of everyone watching him eat. And eat. And eat. Upside--this made me feel awesome about my own daily food intake. Downside--the food looked so good! I got a wicked craving for Korean food. I want Kimchi and banchan and jjigae, and... well pretty much anything else. Except that small octopus that Yoon Shi Yoon was eating. 4) Yoon Shi Yoon's shocked reaction to the moment when Eun Ji Won's song paused and then started blaring the Superman theme. It's such a brief second, but makes me laugh so hard! 5) Epik High/Tablo! Nope, I haven't stopped squeeing every time they come on the screen, from Tablo encouraging Yoon Shi Yoon  before his performance, then actually performing with him, to all of Epik High performing with Eun Ji Won. They need to come out with a new CD, like, yesterday.Quotes"I'm Boys Over Flowers who likes soccer videos more than porn." This had me on the floor with laughter. "Doesn't he look like a movie character? Like a character who dies after doing nothing. The main characters friend." Poor Jong Shin, no one had any respect for his big pimpin' style.   "Oh, so that's what he does." Yoon Shi Yoon for the first time learning what DJ Tukutz brought to the Epik High table. "That's for work, that's not food!""You work hard." "I think he's eating my 2 days worth of food.""This song is for my grandfather. But I don't think he'd understand it because it's too fast.""The barefoot friends are supportive because the know how he feels." I liked this line of narration because it has 2 meanings. First, the relief Kim Hyun Joong feels for having the performance be over and secondly or the bigger meaning, as his song was about wanting to just have a normal life even though he's a star. I'm not sure if they meant it both ways, but that's what I got out of it. And it just made me like him more. (Like that was a stretch...)

*Thanks Ms Dean for another good read!!!

Author:  AprilStarr

Kim Hyun Joong,in case you haven't noticed, most of the time completes his attire with a hat nowadays. He wore skullcap/ beanie for his comeback on the SK music stages. For Barefoot Friends he has donned baseball caps,flat brim's of different materials, designs and colors.

Not that he hasn't worn hats before. He had worn a fedora, a cowboy hat, straw hat, beanies with pompoms,skullcaps, newspaper boy cap and more sportsy caps among others. A look at his past and present walk through the airports, dance numbers, modelling, pictorials, drama scenes, guesting in shows or just lazying around show him wearing hats.

Obviously, he loves wearing them.Very functional and hides the hair on bad days or when he didn't have time to have his hair done as he admitted in a past interview. He looks cool with them and it goes without saying they framed his pretty boy face, errr his man pretty face these days.

But putting on hats is not only to be fashionable or trendy. Hats they say, provide a sense of power almost like wearing a crown. It is the ultimate flatterer and can become the signature piece of the wearer. Yes, Mirror you are so right. Hats have become part of him. Hats make him more attractive, immediately visible he gets noticed by many. When he wears his sportsy cap and push it back to reveal his face once in a while, he seems more open and accessible.

Does he also aspire to look more macho and to appear casual with his hat on?

He is so into his hat he even included it as part of his recent dance music number.

Hats also define one's personality. It can bring about an air of mystery. Hats can be a shield, even an armor thus often said to boost confidence to the wearer. Magical? Many times he wish to be invisible. Who knows maybe that is how he eludes stalkers and media.

Heard the expression: wearing many hats ? It means taking on different kinds of roles and responsibilities. KHJ is into different kinds of work -as performer, model, endorser of commercial products and places, businessman, producer of albums, planner-designer of and execute concerts, co-designer of accessories,philanthropist. Perhaps there is a slew of other projects we are just not aware of.

Many times he has "thrown his hat into the ring" when he took up many challenges that came his way or even when he initiated them when he went solo as an artist. The rest of this story is history.

In so many ways and levels the hat means a lot for Kim Hyun Joong. You can say it has become part of his life. Just as the saying goes- the clothes make the man, the hat makes the man.This man.

PS :

At the rate he is wearing different hats at every event -he must be aiming for the Guinness Book of Records. What is your favorite hat on Hyun Joong ?
