View Comments

• Man, is it me or is he looking so manly, so grown up and so freaking hot!? See what short hair does for a mans face. She of course is ever so very cute and glamorous at the same time.

  • Both of them definitely look more mature and sophisticated with the new hairstyles. Sigh, if HyunMin were a couple in RL I would be so happy, but alas, highly unlikely. But they will forever be adorable together.

    • Koala! They HAVE been communicating now and then. 100% sure. Now, don't know if they are a couple in real life. Who knows.

    • Totally agreed.

    • Thanks Koala, you're the best. I don't think they are a couple either. Whatevers......JSM is so cute! KHJ is missing out.

    • love you kim hyun joong and jung so min

  • Manly and tan. *rawr*

  • Love his new hair style so freaking hot ya. And I miss him so much, seem like there were no news of him for so many months and So Min too. She is forever sweet and pretty to me.

• I missed So Min so much, any news about her doing drama/movie on future? I didn't hear nothing :(

  • yeah me 2....she sooo cute n funny.....

• I second your request to the jdorama gods.

  • You know why I'm so bitter about Kurosagi, aside from it being an idiotic drama cosplaying Pi? It was a drama without viable alterna-ships, it was a drama where our OTP meet within the first few minutes circa a set of train tracks and an oncoming train and a slo-mo rescue damsel in distress scene (it was like my NwP dreams coming true from the get-go of Kurosagi), it was a drama where the OTP live next door without any parental units nearby, it was a drama that was supposedly all moody and gritty - and with ALL THAT POSSIBIBILITY, plus the %^*%^# &$&^ chemistry that is YamaKi (almost on par with the GeunGeuns, I tell ya), NOTHING HAPPENED.

    It's like - W. T. F. drama gods?!?

    Jdoramas do this way too often, whereas TW dramas almost never do this (Kdramas are in between) - which is to tease the possibility between the OTP but ultimately give the audience no satisfaction. There is a word for that kind of behavior, dramas, and you wouldn't like me saying it out loud.

    • I totally get your bitterness towards Kurosagi. I liked the drama as the mystery type but as a romance it never lived up to its potential!!
      But this happened in other J dramas as well.. a little low on the romance side.. which is why I stopped watching them lol

      I can't find any Japanese rom coms.. Are there any at all?

    • At least the theme song was great!
      'daite daite senorita~!'

    • You are so right. Come to think of it, the same case goes to Code Blue 1 & 2 series. I felt like hanging and expecting for something romantic in that drama. Same old Jdoramas. aish.

    • I hate to stray away from KHJ topic here, but what about Yamapi's Buzzer Beat? I think this falls under the rom com category.

  • @Anvesha:

    i don't think it's a rom-com per se, but Orange Days (2004) remains THE best of them all Jdrama for me. it just... works. it's still largely a love story as it is a friendship/life drama, so check it out if you haven't!

    • Hmm I have not heard of Orange Days. Who is in it? Must do searches on it.

  • I third that.

    • OMG YOU GUYS SHOULD TOTALLY WATCH IT!

      The leads are Satoshi Tsumabuki (before he gets all boring now and keeps acting weird movies/dramas of late) and Kou Shibasaki. Rounding up the friendship there's Eita, Narimya Hiroki i think his name- that guy in just about any drama ever - and this one other actress. Shibasaki plays a deaf girl, the setting's in U. its a frienship/love/life dramas and they tackle it in old-school Jdrama way (not like the current episodic ones, meh).

      also! quick trivia: Shibasaki and Tsumabuki actually dated for 4 years in RL following this drama :D

      (p/s: sorry Koala for the obvious promotion to this drama on your site but i'm super excited letting others know the existence of Orange Days!)

    • i just remember OSHIN as a very very very great Jdoramas...
      Btw, I love So Min's sunglasses at the airport...she look adorable beautiful...and KHJ...damn...he is soooo HOT...
      But unfortunatelly, i cant see their chemistry and closeness from pic above...at least they can match their clothes there,but also they didn't do it...

    • How about here?

      He has no qualms about touching her anymore, LMAO.

• I LLLLLLOOOOOVVVVVVEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS KOALA SSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!! Thank you for sharin this!!!

  Koala you are the icing on the cake. I just came home and this is the best news of the DAY!!!!

  KHJ AND JSM are so freaking adorable together.

  • Yes she is our god send angel to create the best playground on earth.

• whoaa!! love this!

  i'm so glad that KHJ gained weight and actually looks healthier (and well rested!) and got a manly haircut! i almost didnt recognise him! and JSM is gorgeous as always! -- aww, i miss the PK days, and i'm so glad to have this piece of news!

  thanks koala! :)

• *comes out of woodworks*

  My babies!!!! At first I didn't like the stiff hug. But a) he's got his big goofy grin on and b) her head on his shoulder is so very Oh Ha Ni. So I'll deal.

  It really shouldn't make me this happy to see strangers together. BUT IT DOES.

  • *high fives lulybunny*

    comin' out of the woodworks with 'ya sistah! head on his shoulders is very OHN indeed. love Joongie's tanned and manly look...keep it up, coordi noona! no more of that idol BB-creamed face, please. ;)

  • The audience was said to be very surprised at the hug as well! People tweeted that they were screaming their longs out, haha. Apparently, even So Min was caught a little offguard, hence the shyness.
    HyunJoong sang 2 songs and So Min sang one song. She was said to be pretty good. Someone even mentioned that she got teased by him afterwards, since she is new to singing.

  • *Delurk-mode*

    hmmmmm the way Lulybunny described the hug makes the stiff hug a.... "YAAAAY WE'VE GOT A HUG!!!"

    And apparently initiated by KHJ!!! He looks sooo at ease!!!

    I'm a happy PKisser again \(¤^0^¤)/

  • ah btw aside from them not sporting a couple look... KHJ really is KHJ here and doesn't look like BSJ anymore ^^ hahah maybe that's what makes them look different together :)

• Thank you for these photos. I wished for up sweep hair and voila...KHJL has a new cool up swept hair. It is so flattering on him and it makes me happy. They both are so adorable. I saw a video of KHJL at a soccer game & he was stretching/warming up. He is blessedly built. He is #1 on my list right now.

• I love them together!! I find him adorable!!! Since his days as SS501 leader I have adored him, he's got the most charming sense of humor..... But I find him weird in photos lately, and in these ones if you look closely, looks like if he had a nose job, like maybe a touch up..... Does anyone thinks like me?
  (More like a second one, cause seems to me, that before his debut he got a nose job)

  • The pictures of him are not that close for me to see if he has done another touch-up on his nose.

  • KHJ plays soccer a lot and I think if you had nose job, it would be difficult for you to engage in sports as physical as soccer. I'm also a fan and I've watched a lot of his videos since 2005 and I think there's no difference. In some cases, the pictures look different because they have been edited already or it could be the make up.
    And about JSM and KHJ meeting again, atleast in an event like this, all I can say is daebak! Although Im a fangirl of Hyunnie, I've always preferred JSM to be her partner compared to other girls he had worked before. They have amazing chemistry and they look good together. Now, Im excited for the PK event in August 2 in Tokyo. It was mentioned to KHJ during the fanmeet, so I'm hoping that JSM could attend also. Well, it's a MUST since PK wont be complete without her.

    • I agree absolutely with aas and Mai, from the bts videos including those from Japan TV recently they are really close and I bet they do communicated privately. They make such an ideal couple and I hope they will eventually be together.

    • I would just like to point out that Lee Shi Young has taken up boxing. She has obviously had plastic surgery. So yes, it is possibly to have an athletic life after plastic surgery.

      But I don't care either way, like someone else said, it's all about that smile.

      (and the thighs, oh the thighs)

  • Nose job or not, he is super hot, and really it's his smile....*melt*. Can he get any cuter? Too bad his acting was meh, because I would love to see him in another drama. I didn't see much chemistry between them at the awards, they actually seemed awkward with one another.
    JSM is totally adorable in that brown dress. She looks super cute in her airport pictures as well, but perhaps not KHJ's type. Who knows....

    • Actually, it seems that she is exact fit of his ideal type. PK followers noted how his ideal type changed from Lee Hyori type ( I'm sure he'd still pick, HJ is such a fanboy lol) to:
      - Doesn't need double eyelid.
      - Doesn't need to be tall.
      - He said he doesn't usually go for super model looks.
      - Polite, mannered. smart.
      - Innocent with a hint of sexiness.
      - Dresses in neutral colors like white, black, beige, and wine. With natural make up.
      - Like a friend.
      I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but this is all post PK. Interesting no?

• This haircut is what suits Kim Hyun Joong well. I remember when SS501 were promoting "Love Like This" his hair is similar to this. He is really one damn hot good-looking specimen no doubt about it but in terms of acting he still has to blow me away. I watched PK because of him totally eye-candy. Now I have to wait for the release of his solo album. I love him more as a singer though. :-)

  • me too, me too! He has a good voice.

    • Me three. hehehee

• Handsome and cute as always. I love Hyun Joong's hair.

  Kim Hyun Joong is totally channeling the Hallyu/Bae Yong Jun vibe. It makes me a little sad because he was such a dork in pre-KeyEast (Bae Yong Jun's agency in which Hyun Joong is now part of) days.

  • i agree with you. i hope he doesn't end up just doing fanmeets, being a snob and selling merchandise with his face on it. he's got so much more to offer. i'd like to see him as a younger, naughtier version of Rain perhaps?

    • Let's hope so. KE always gave me the T.T vibe. I hope they don't change him!
      The Rain comparison is perfect.
