Prelude to 1st Love in Bali-part 2 post
The questions asked in Strong Heart episode in 2009 are similar to questions asked in 1st Love in Bali. I watched the 1st Love long before this SH episode, and the questions were not the ones that stood out for me instead it's the understanding of HJ's personality... I may not know him personally but I kind of sense what's in his heart especially when he talks about his 'ideal girl' lately. His consistency in his answers made me realize that he is not all about "showbiz" contrary to what others think -- he simply knows what he wants in life: to fulfill his dream to be a rock singer and find his "ideal girl" for a lifetime partner.

In the above GIFs, we could see how natural HJ's actions in front of MM... he's very comfortable with her considering they've only meet few weeks back (compare to how he was with a model as we seen in the videolink in my previous post). In the 2nd GIF, it appears HJ didn't want to be pampered by his coordi noona but it didn't stop him from expressing his annoyance in front of MM -- he wasn't embarassed in showing his true self -- some would normally give their "best impression" at first meeting simply to "impress" just like what the word implies.
Take note of a couple of phrases at an interview with his FM in China this year:
Kim Hyun Joong's interview in China

KHJ frankly said that when he’s in love he’d go right all
the way, “If I really have a girl I like, I’d persist to the end no matter how
difficult it will be." Acting in drama, every female lead is different but
he’s very clear about acting and reality so he’d not search for his ideal type
in a fictional world. “In my mind the ideal woman should be like a friend,
flawless in character, normally doesn’t like to put on heavy make-up, look
plain in appearance. A simple and sincere person, also able to get
along with me and my friends happily”.

He
has no qualms telling MM what he wears or not in bed in PK epi 10. On the other hand, MM wasn't bothered by his frankness.
And again in YT episode HJ talked about 'underwear' and MM laughed so hard.
JSM's interview:
Are you also like this when you are with your boyfriend?
No, romance is not the same right? I still have never being in love for long and don’t consider ever having experienced romantic love. Although is/was boyfriend but we got along just as good friends. In high school, my main consideration was not about boyfriends but problems on professions, it was my life’s central focus. Pretty girls are especially plenty in my high school, as for me I wasn't an attraction at all.
JSM interview with Vogue (in reference to being down-to-earth):
Vogue: Hope that in the future it will be good if you
wouldn’t have the intention to go for plastic surgery.
SM: Don’t worry, I never have the slightest intention
before, since debut then for the first time I found that there are so many
people with double eyelids, even artists all have double eyelids too. I really
didn't know that my face is seen as that special.

| I heard from the grapevine that this photo of MM is one of his favorite so I wonder if he knew about her prior to PK. |
 |
| He appeared anxious to see/meet his leading lady. |
Whether it was prior PK or not, he definitely showed his interest on her as early as PK's first day of dress and script rehearsal, in my opinion.
