Kim Hyun Joong: Sport Today Interview (10/12/13)



요즘은 SBS ‘일요일이 좋다-맨발의 친구들’에 출연하고 있어요. 처음 ‘맨발의 친구들’에 출연할 때는 즐긴다고 생각하고 갔어요. 그런데 생각보다 예능이 힘들더라고요. 웃기지 않을 때 안 웃으면 안 웃는다고 뭐라고 하니까. 솔직히 전 진짜 웃겨야 웃는 사람이거든요. 제가 상상했던 거와는 조금 달랐던 것 같아요. 하하. 이제는 아무리 리얼리티 예능이라도 약간의 조미료 같은 게 필요하다는 것을 알겠어요. 너무 리얼하면 작품이 안 나오니까요.

리얼 버라이어티 프로그램의 가장 큰 장점은 형제 같은 정이 생긴다는 점이에요. 은지원 형, 윤종신 형, 강호동 형은 매주 보는데 어떤 끈끈함이 있어요. 지원이 형은 예전 소속사 직속 선배고 진짜 친형 같은 느낌이에요. 연예인 중에서 친형 같은 느낌은 처음이에요. 형도 마음으로 절 친동생처럼 생각해 줘요. 연예계에서는 친구를 많이 못 사귀잖아요. 예능 프로그램 고정을 하다 보니 가족이 생긴 거 같아서 좋아요.



English translation:

Nowadays I've been appearing in SBS' BFF.  I joined with the intention to have a good time and enjoy myself.  But being in this show is more harder than I thought.  There are times when you have to laugh even when I don't find the moment funny at all.  Honestly, I'm the kind of person who only laughs when I think the moment is funny.  I think this is somewhat different from my imagination.  Haha.  Now, I understand that even a reality show needs a little bit of seasoning.  If it's too real, the show wouldn't go on TV (and yes, it means the quality of the program may not be good.)  

The best thing about reality program is, you get the feeling of brotherhood.  I see Jiwon Eun, Jongshin Yoon, and Hodong Kang everyweek and we have something timid.  Jiwon Eun is a senior at my ex-company and it feels like he's a  real brother, which is rare among celebrities.  He regards to me as his brother too.  We don't get friends a lot here.  It's good to be in a reality program because I feel like I have a family.

  1. I guess is true... you don't show much about your true self in variety shows. You have to make the show interesting to the viewers. That's why I'm not surprise most of this shows are some kind scripted.

    Good part is he his family is growing, he and the boys became friends - brothers.

  2. Is it only part of the interview? I remember I read one article with similar contents. In that article, he said he didn't have a girl-friend because too busy and he was focusing on his career. He also mentioned about his ideal girl was some could drink alcohol so that he could share with her during drinking…… I was sad and disappointed for a while after reading that.

    1. Hola Gf Bescaca!

      Actually how many times did I read or hear this. HJ always says the same. He wants to protect the one he loves. Do you know what will happen if HJ's say "yes I'm love...I'm dating"... fans will get angry.

      Anyway, we know he gives this kind of answers and those don't really affect us because we are 100% sure HyunMin is real.

      Delete
    30. Why for a week? So I could get him to spill precious HyunMin stories. Since I don't speak Korean, it will take me a week to translate everything he shares with me in English.

    1. Hi Bescaca. One thing I learned in reading many articles about korean celebrities is that majority of them do not disclose their relationship -- some are even caught right handed but still manages to deny them. I, myself, get affected with his answers in the past but after awhile learned to take them with a grain of salt. ;)

      Delete
    2. Gf Bescaca don't be bothered by that interview it's a fan central...Of course there be chaos of HJ fans if he admit the truth. Relax hyunmin is Real and Forever...HJ is very protective of his LL...:)

      Delete
    3. And may I add... Some of the popular SK celebrities, they announce to the public that they are married but protects the identity of the person they are married to. Some are married with children and only divulge their status when caught. We will just have to be patient and wait when they are ready to come out as a couple.

      Delete
    4. You are right Gf Snowy all we need is to "hold our horses" in due time there will be a Grand celebration and all the Hyunmin GFs have a Loco pills...hahaha

    2. GF if I may add... have you asked yourself these questions:

      1) Why use PK skits in his concerts?
      2) Why was sometimes teary-eyed while singing One More Time
      3) Why use One More Time as a background song when he showed his family pictures at Party People concert?
      4) Why display moments of PK in one of the Jaksal branch?
      5) Why does the girl in Kiss-Kiss Japanese version looks exactly like MM? Why does the girl in Your Story resembles MM?

      I can go on and on with questions but definitely there's only one answer to them. Don't you agree?

      Delete
    3. ^aigooo... I can't type

      Correction:
      2) Why was he sometimes teary-eyed
      4) Why display mementos

  8. Did anyone catch on this... "Now, I understand that even a reality show needs a little bit of seasoning." Meaning they put spice to the show for it to be interesting. Those who think that reality show is real and not scripted... think again! :)

    I noticed that he didn't mention YSY - thought he became close to him but I guess not. And, also no mention of the person who is always assigned to sit next to him? hahaha

    1. Of course those kind of shows are scripted.

      Hahahaha... I heard the PD beg HJ to please allow that person be next to him. "Do it for the ratings"... I guess it was a bad plan after all.
