■I just want to be a half of Bae Yong Joon.

Bae Yong Joon greatly influenced me to change my agent. People call me “Post Bae Yong Joon”. I like to hear that. I have to be similar to him, so I can be better than him. I wish I could be just half of him. I think I’m about 25% of him. Anyway, I think I look like him too.

A while ago when I visited China, a fan asked him if I was Bae Yong Joon. She requested my autograph but I refused. She insisted by saying that I was Bae Yong Joon and told me not to lie. I couldn’t take off my sunglasses and I felt pressured. Would it be strange to say, “I’m not Bae Yong Joon, I’m Kim Hyun Joon.”? I didn’t end up giving her my authograph; it bothers me to know that I may have discouraged one of Bae Yong Joon’s fans. I didn’t tell Bae Yong Joon about this story. (smile)

Bae Yong Joon is the main character who led Kim Hyun Joon to his new agent. Bae Yong Joon, himself accomplished the contract between Kim Hyun Joong and Keyeast. Kim Hyun Joong is called “Little Bae Yong Joon” these days. Come to think of it, they are quite similar when they smile too.

“I heard that I’m getting more similar to him. It’s kind of a burden on me, but it’s not bad. Bae Yong Joon and Jang Dong Geon are the first generation of Hallyu stars and it’s about time for the second generation to come. Following their work is truly admirable. Bae Yong Joon encouraged me by saying “Don’t stick to the viewing rate too much when “Mischieveous Kiss” was airing. I didn’t have a chance to meet him because of my busy schedule after the drama ended. But we keep in touch.”

With a smile, Kim Hyun Joong also said , “I don’t have a role model. I don’t want to be one who is similar to someone else. I just want to follow my own dream. I like the words, “Little Bae Yong Joon” because I know he is a great man. Little means “Little” (suehan: I used the word, “Little” twice because it was written in English phonic first and explained its meaning second.) It means that it’ll become big soon.”

Kim Hyun Joong, who changed his agent to Keyeast recently, is getting lots of help from his senior, Bae Yong Joon. In private meetings, they call each other older brother and younger brother. They already have openly confidential talks.

Kim Hyun Joong said, “I usually talk about daily life stories when I meet hyeong (Bae Yong Joon). Sometimes we talk about serious matter. A while ago, hyeong said that if he is the first generation of Hallyu star, So Ji Sup is the second generation, and I’m the third generation. He said that he had gone through hard times because he had to pioneer everything by himself. He also said that he was envious of me because it looked like I was getting lots of help from people around me.”

Kim Hyun Joong disclosed his close hyeong, Bae Yong Joon’s private life.

Kim Hyun Joong talked about Bae Yong Joon’s recent home purchase by saying “He might have purchased the house for the future, but I can definitely guarantee that he doesn’t have a girlfriend right now.” He meets with him a few times a week. and visits Bae Yong Joon’s house several times as well.

“I imagined the palace before I visited his house for the first time; I imagined bundles of bills and a money box piled up. I thought there was a swimming pool as well. But the difference between his house and other houses was the spinning wheel for pottery which was located in the middle of the living room. A countless amount of books, nearly as many as a book store was there.”

He also said, “I wondered how he could manage himself so perfectly. I am accustomed to writing down memos and keeping promises because of him.”

Meeting between Bae Yong Joon and Kim Hyun Joong. There will be many excited fans when they hear about the meeting between them. But they have not made any public appearances yet. “It’s really strange. Because we do not go to special places but we go to the café where everybody goes.

Kim Hyun Joong, who is the closest friend of Bae Yong Joon, said that Bae Yong Joon doesn’t have any plans for marriage yet. He said, “We frankly talk about lots of private matters. Whenever hyong has a chance, he pressures me to introduce him to a girl. But I feel helpless because even I don’t have a girl friend. He only bought the house, but I could feel his great popularity again from the marriage rumors.” He also said that “If Yong Joon hyeong marries; he will release the news to media in advance due to his position. I don’t think you will hear the news regarding his marriage soon, since he doesn’t have a girl friend.”

Kim Hyun Joong called Bae Yong Joon a good adviser and reliable senior. Right after the first episode of “Mischievous Kiss” aired, he received a text message from Bae Yong Joon saying, “Don’t stick to the viewing rates too much.”

“Hyeong advises me a lot. Regarding acting, he said, “Work comfortably to be a seasoned actor because burden produces only burden. He also said, “It is important to show the development process.” And it encouraged me a lot. His advice about the donation from the profits to the society also influenced me a lot. He advised me, “Don’t be shy or embarrassed when you help someone.”

Kim Hyung Joong returned to MBC's "Mischievous Kiss", one year after "Boys over Flowers", but he received a poor review with disappointing one digit viewing rates. Expections were high because it was the first work since he moved to Bae Yong Joon's management company, Keyeast.

"When the viewing rate was low after the first episode aired, Yong Joon hyung sent me a text message saying, "it hit rock bottom, so I think it'll go up. Don't think about the viewing rates too much." I think it was a good experience because the rate continues to fluctuate. I learned how to cope with difficulties and I experienced that "When God closes one door, He opens another.". I hoped that it would be recognized in foreign contries some day, if not in Korea. I don't want to regret it."

Bae Yong Joon is a great senior for him, like a role model, and they have very good chemistry between them.

"There were plenty of rumors after my contract with DST Entertainment ended. Actually, I wanted to go to Yong Joon hyong's management compnay, but I couldn't speak to him frankly. One day, I talked to him about my problem with the management company. He said that He wanted to meet me to introduce me to the owner of his management company. And the CEO came with the contract. (laugh) So, I was glad."

Who's going to be BYJ's wife for his new house

[News]Who is going to be Bae Yong Joon’s wife for his 6.2 billion won house?
[2010-11-18 09:45:41]

[Newsen Reporter Kim Beom Seok]



It has been known that the purchase price of Bae Yong Joon’s house in Seongbuk-dong is 6.2 billion won. This price brought a lot of attention from everyone.

This house came on the market last year and its land size is 230 pyong (760㎡). It was introduced to Bae Yong Joon early this year and he has been negotiating the price with the previous owner. Someone who is close to him said, “He has been living in an expensive villa in Gangnam since his debut, and he always said that he wanted to live in a house with a yard for a long time. His wish came true this time.”

When he bought the 6.2 billion won house, his acquaintance was very surprised by saying, “I’m surprised of his ability to prepare cash, However, I’m more surprised for his life because it has turned around so drastically.

He spent his school days in Myungil-dong, Gangdong-gu, Seoul and it’s said that he always felt sorry for his father who worked as a building manager in the neighborhood at that time. So when he made money after he became an actor, he always said that “I have to buy a building for my father as soon as possible. So I can’t waste money to buy brand-name products, or spend money at the hostess bars.”

He became a Hallyu star suddenly with “Winter Sonata” which he had hesitated to appear in at first. He has always has been living frugally. Years ago, when he moved to a Y Villa in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul, an employee of the moving company said, “I was curious whether it was his house or not because he had a fat 10 year old Pioneer TV set and an old refrigerator. He had so many books, so I thought the owner was a professor. I was upset because of the small tip after my work, but I could understand him after I saw his simple household goods.”

Bae Yong Joon’s acquaintance stated that “He started to getting interested in wine and watches since 2-3 years ago. He sometimes presented million won watches to people who were close to him. He has qualities of a boss but at the same time cares about people who are close to him.”

The interior and exterior of his new house in Seongbuk-dong is currently under repair; the moving date has yet to be released. Many gossipers are curious about whom he is going to choose to be his wife to help entertain him in his 6.2 billion won house even though he doesn’t choose to marry soon. People who are close to him have the same predictions that BYJ may choose an average girl who has a good education from her home rather than a girl who has a freewheeling lifestyle because of his clean and perfect personality.

BYJ's new house worth billions.

Original in Korean: SPORTS CHOSUN
Translated into English: SUEHAN's BYJ Blog

[Exclusive News]The words, many billions, slip out automatically after seeing Bae Yong Joon’s new house in Seongbuk-dong

2010-11-17 16:36



Yonsama, Bae Yong Joon will move into a house in Seongbuk-dong from the villa in Samseong-dong, Seoul where he currently resides. Bae Yong Joon bought his first house which is located at the end of an expensive residential area well-known as the rich village in Seongbuk-dong, Seoul. It gives a quiet and cozy impression. When Sports Chosun visited his new house, construction was in full swing for the new owner who plans to move in early next year.



▶It was a much bigger house compared to those in the neighborhood.

His new house in Seongbuk-dong is located in a secluded area, where the residences of foreign embassies are gathered, among the residential area. It faces the residence of the Japan embassy, which is inseparable with Bae Yong Joon, and is also close to the residence of the Iraq embassy..

This two-story house, which is characterized by white walls, is bigger than the houses nearby even at a glance. With the exception of the white walls, the entire inside has been torn down and the construction for the “entire remodeling” was underway. According to the residents nearby, the land size of his new house is about 760㎡, and it’s worth about five billion won.

The neighbors are even fancy because the area is well-known as the rich village in Korea. Hyun Jung Eun’s house, the chairman of Hyundae and guest house for VIPs of Hyundae Group are nearby and Samsung families’ houses are about 5 minutes away by car.

Someone who is in the real estate business near Seongbuk-dong stated, “The previous owner is also a well-known figure. He is a formal representative of big cultural facilities. There are countless well-known figures in this neighborhood.”

On the other hand, his agent Keyeast turned down the floating rumor by saying, “We are getting inquiries whether he bought the house for his marriage. It’s absurd.”



▶The reason why he chose Seongbuk-dong for his new residential area?

Actually, not many entertainers reside in Seongbuk-dong. It is a traditional rich village where the first generation of chaebol (tycoon) and entrepreneurs of middle standing have been living there for about 20-30 years continuously. Usually the entertainers’ moving-into the area aren’t welcomed in this neighborhood. An actor of great popularity had moved in, but he moved out soon after because of continuous box-office failures. A broadcaster also moved out from here to Gangnam right away after he got injured. He did not have the opportunity to become fond of it.

In the beginning, Bae Yong Joon also took a while to decide whether to select Seongbuk-dong for his new residential area. He became convinced after searching for a house at various areas in Seoul for about one year. He completed the deal on July 29th. In a telephone conversation with Sports Chosun, the person who helped Bae Yong Joon with his house transaction said, “He is very careful and prudent. It took a long time for him to make a decision.” He said that he has been handling the house transaction for Seongbuk-dong mostly, and further stated, “Actually, not every one can move in Seongbuk-dong. I met Bae Yong Joon several times in one year. I felt that he has a great personality and is a very reasonable person.”

He further said, “Bae Yong Joon feels a big responsibility about Hallyu and his attitude and acts towards people are perfect. I respect and became fond of him during our several meetings about moving. He is man of great capacity which corresponds perfectly with the dignity of Seongbuk-dong. I hope he has a continuous wonderful life at the new place.”

[News][Blue Dragon Hand Prints]How much is Bae Yong Joon’s hand print worth?

2010-11-16 12:05

There are many inestimable hand prints that are kept in the office of Sports Chosun in Chungrim-dong, Choonggu, Seoul. The prints represent the opportunity for many to do something that could not be experienced otherwise, to be able to hold stars’ hands.

Bae Yong Joon got the rookie of the year and popularity awards at the 24th Blue Dragon Awards and attended the hand printing ceremony which was held at Yongsan CGV in Seoul in 2004. Many fans picture 4 King (Lee Byung Hun, Jang Dong Gun, Song Seung Hun, and Won Bin) when they think of Hallyu, but he doesn’t belong to that group. He is like Zeuss, the king of all kings.

Yongsan CGV was overcrowded with fans. Not only Korean fans, Japanese fans also gathered to see Yonsama’s face. There was a lucky fan who shook hands with Bae Yong Joon. His hand is now alive forever.

Bae Yong Joon’s hand print is kept at Sports Chuson.
It has an inestimatable value and
there are many inquiries from fans who want to see it.

[News]Bae Yong Joon purchased an expensive house in Seongbuk-dong

Lifted this from Suehan's blog .... Thanks a lot to her.

[News]Bae Yong Joon purchased an expensive house in Seongbuk-dong which has put weight on the “Marriage rumor”

2010.11.17 09:49



It has been known that Bae Yong Joon recently purchased a house for himself in Seongbuk-dong, His recent purchase has gained much attention.

On the 17th, according to someone who is close to him, Bae Yong Joon purchased a house in Seongbuk-dong, an area congested with expensive houses. Currently, the construction for the interior is in full swing. It has been known that the house is designed with preferences in mind, Zen(禪).

A real estate agent, who has been dealing the expensive houses in Seongbuk-dong, gave hints by saying, “I heard rumors that Bae Yong Joon would be moving into this area, but detailed information was not released. The deal was completed in a discreet manner.”
Bae Yong Joon has lived at a villa in Samseong-dong, Seoul for over 4 years. He has leased his homes for a long time compared to the need of ownership for investment purposes by most of the other top stars.

The “Marriage rumor’, which had subsided for a while, is beginning to receive more attention as he moves from Gangnam (the district south of the Han River) to Gangbuk (the district north of the Han River). It also is gaining attention because he has purchased a house instead of leasing it.

Traditionally, Seongbuk-dong has been considered as a “rich village” in Seoul. Historically, the politicians and famous businessmen own the houses in Seongbuk-dong because of the area’s strong energy basis on the theory of divination, which is based on topography. Even Koo Ja Kyung, honorary chairman of LG, Lee Dong Chan, honorary chairman of Kolon, and Jung Mong Geun, honorary chairman of Hyundai Department Store live there. Small and big galleries are located around there; residences of foreign embassies are also lined up in that neighborhood.

It is stated that Bae Yong Joon considered the location and the surrounding environment while he was purchasing the house. He has prepared separate spaces for his hobbies, like reading and wine. It looks like he is going to be moving in the beginning of next year.

Yang Geun Hwa, CEO of Keyeast, said “It’s true that he bought the house. However, I think he hasn’t moved in yet due to the many construction projects that are occurring inside. There are rumors that it is a sweet home for his marriage, but I don’t really think so”

[News]Kim Sae Rom disclosed the story, “Bae Yong Joon was disloyal at the drinking gathering.”

Star news 2010-11-12 09:47

[Money Today Star News, Reporter Kim Gyeo Wul]



The broadcaster Kim Sae Rom disclosed the story that Bae Yong Joon was disloyal at the drinking gathering.

Kim Sae Rom appeared in E channel’s new access program, “Poker Face”, which will air its first program on the 13th, and disclosed is the story that she encountered Bae Yong Joon at the drinking gathering.

She started her story by saying, “There is a disloyal Hallyu star at the drinking gathering.” According to her, she went to the drinking gathering for her friend, and unexpectedly met Hallyu star Bae Yong Joon.

She stated that they played the game called the “loyalty game”. The “Loyalty Game” is when they divide the players into teams and the losing team has to drink the entire bottle. But Bae Yong Joon barely touched the glass to his lips as he handed it to her. He explained that he couldn’t call a temporary driver because he was a well-known figure. Eventually, Kim Sae Rom had to drink even BYJ’s portion because he refused to drive under the influence of alcohol.

It looks like she was aware of Hallyu star fans and finished her story with a supporting comment of Bae Yong Joon’s act by saying, “But, isn’t it nice to see the Hallyu star who won’t drive under the influence of alcohol?”

[Comments by Bae Yong Joon.]

It has been 8 years since I’ve adopted the “Magic Swing”

I remember that I felt uncomfortable when I first adopted the “Magic Swing.” I think the reason that I felt that way was because I had previous habits and my own methods of playing golf.

Now that I come to think about it, I lacked skill near the green and my scores were inconsistent. I also had back injuries due to the excessive pressure on my back during my swing.

But, since I’ve adopted the pro Lee Byung Yong’s “Magic Swing”, I have the ability to play consistently. I can also play golf more efficiently because my injuries have disappeared due to the correction of my posture.

“Magic Swing” showed me how to eliminate my former methods of golf and approach golf in a new way. It showed me effective ways to play golf and gave me the confidence I needed as well. More than anything else, I think it made me “enjoy golf”, which is the most valuable result.

I would like to show my sincere gratitude to the pro Lee Byung Yoon who helped me gain confidence as a golfer, I hope readers will enjoy golf and gain confidence with the help of the “Magic Swing”.

Bae Yong Joon



[Acknowledgement by Lee Byung Yong]

8 years of friendship with Yonsama

8 years have passed since I had a relationship with Bae Yong Joon because of the Magic Swing.

It has been known that he pursues perfection, a characteristic most similar to my own. So there were small conflicts when the lesson started.

But his efforts and enthusiasm towards golf made me teach him earnestly; I was always proud of him because of his daily improvement.

I’ve been watching him for years, and I couldn’t help but love his good manners, easygoingness, and loyalty.

He looks like he could be my teacher. Even though it didn’t always run smoothly, I would simply like to express my gratitude to him for his ten year commitment as my student.
