K-Pop Star Kim Hyun Joong Reveals His Beauty Picks

COSMO:

Korean pop star Kim Hyun Joong is not only loved for his music (as the former lead singer of SS501 and now solo artist) and his roles in popular Korean series Boys Over Flowers and Playful Kiss, but also for his gorgeous looks and that flawless skin you can't help but envy! His secret? The 25-year-old star swears by The Face Shop products, which he has been representing for a year now.

Just the day after the very successful launch of his album "Break Down" here in Manila, Kim Hyun Joong faced members of the beauty press at the Palm Grove, Rockwell Club last August 26 for his press conference as The Face Shop brand ambassador. This visit is part of his endorser duties, which includes visiting the 22 countries where The Face Shop has branches. Lucky for his Filipino fans, the Philippines is part of his Asian tour.

Kim Hyun Joong's Beauty Picks

Naturally, the beauty press wanted to know what his "beauty secret" is, and he said that he simply eats what he wants and gets plenty of sleep. He also uses The Face Shop products, naturally. "I can't tell you my favorite Face Shop product because I use a lot," said Kim Hyun Joong through a Korean interpreter. "If ever there's one, it would be E'thym moisturizer." Trivia: E'thym is a play on the phrase "eh-deh-da," which means baby-faced and youthful looking. It's The Face Shop's overseas flagship moisturizing line for summer 2011.

Kim Hyun Joong says he also uses The Face Shop BB Cream with SPF--especially the Power Perfection BB Cream--which he finds easy to apply and gives long-lasting, oil-free protection. He recommends this to his Filipina fans, too, especially when they're traveling with their man. He emphasized the importance of using sunblock and moisturizer—even for men—especially in a tropical country like ours. He believes it's time men cared for their skin, too.

However, if you'd like to know what makeup look he likes seeing on women, Hyun Joong would say it doesn't really matter to him. "I don't judge [a person] based on looks. I go more for inner beauty. I value personality more over appearance."

Cosmo.ph did get to ask Kim Hyun Joong what his favorite scent on a woman is, and the Korean heartthrob responded with a smile: "The scent of coconut oil." He first had a whiff of it when he got a massage in Cebu on his last visit, last year. (Event host Grace Lee remarked, "What a lucky masseuse--whoever she was!")

Hyun Joong's Heart Of Gold

A heartwarming moment at his The Face Shop presscon happened when Kim Hyun Joong met the highest bidder for the auction of an outfit he wore at an event. The P100,000 proceeds were donated to the women of Abiertas, one of the charities in the Philippines that the Korean star supports. The highest bidder was the daughter of an old lady who proved to be his biggest fan in the Philippines.

"I've been to the Philippines before, but this trip is a little more special for me because of the chance to work for our unfortunate sisters," Kim Hyun Joong said when presenting the check to the foundation. "Thank you, and don't forget [to keep] the warmth in your hearts."

Korean Star Kim Hyun Joong Captivates Pinoy Fans

COSMO:

Armed with talent, flawless looks, and a heart of gold, there's nowhere but up for Korean pop star and heartthrob Kim Hyun Joong, who continues to win hearts the world over. He's famous for being the leader of Korean idol group SS501, but his career (and his universal charm) really skyrocketed after playing the role of Yoon Ji Hoo in the hit K-soap Boys Over Flowers. He also played Baek Seung Jo in his recent drama Playful Kiss, which was also a huge hit.

It's been one year and two months since his Manila fans first swooned over the star in the flesh. (He last visited for a sold-out concert where he raised and donated funds to benefit the Abiertas House of Friendship, a center for unwed pregnant mothers.) To our delight, the 25-year-old hottie graced Manila shores once again last August 25 to promote his first solo mini-album "Break Down." We caught up with him at a press conference at EDSA Shangri-La Hotel, and on the same day, he launched his album via a "High-Five Touch" event at the TriNoma Activity Center in Quezon City.

The album launch was a huge success. Even before the mall opened, kilig fans were lined up outside--waiting to get their copy of "Break Down" and meet the Kim Hyun Joong, of course! The first 500 who purchased the CD even got to exchange high-fives with the cutie!

"Break Down" marks Kim Hyun Joong's comeback to the music scene, this time as a solo artist. The album is a mix of musical genres, from heavy urban dance tracks to strong R&B and even bubble gum pop. For his solo debut, he shed his pretty-boy charm for a more mature, masculine one. He told us he has plans to do an Asia concert tour that will include Manila as a pit stop! We'll be looking forward to that, for sure!

At the press conference, he told his fans, "Thank you for all the love you have toward me. It inspires me to bring up better songs and better performances." Proving to be a huge hit in Asia and beyond, Kim Hyun Joong is shining brighter than ever as an international star.

Korean star Kim Hyun Joong meets 74-year-old Filipina fan

PEP:

On his second day in Manila, muling humarap ang Korean actor at singer na si Kim Hyun Joong sa press para sa kanyang endorsement ng The Face Shop.

Sa press conference na naganap kanina, August 26, sa Palm Grove Rockwell ay sinagot ng Boys Over Flowers at Playful Kiss star ang ilang katanungan tungkol sa kanyang grooming secrets.

Mahilig daw siyang gumamit ng moisturizer upang panatilihing makinis at malambot ang kanyang balat.

Pinapatunayan lang ni Hyun Joong na hindi lamang para sa mga babae ang paggamit ng beauty products kundi pati na rin sa mga lalake dahil nakatutulong daw ito upang mapanatiling bata at malusog ang balat.

74-YEAR-OLD FAN. Bukod sa beauty Q&A, naging bahagi rin ng programa ang pag-anunsyo ng The Face Shop Philippines sa winner ng kanilang charity auction na naganap noong August 18-21, 2011.

Ipina-auction ang isang autographed gray sports shorts na madalas gamitin ni Hyun Joong sa kanyang mga dance rehearsals.

Ang nanalo ay si Maria Rosario Ragasa, isang judge, na sumali sa promo para sa kanyang inang si Patria Ragasa na isang masugid na tagahanga ng dating lead signer ng K-Pop band na SS501.

Kuwento ng event host na si Grace Lee, ginawa na raw "Kim Hyun Joong shrine" ni Patria ang kuwarto ng kanyang anak dahil sa sobrang paghanga sa Korean star.

Makailang-ulit na daw nilang sinundan sa Korea si Hyun Joong para makapagpa-picture subalit hindi nila ito malapitan.

Kaya nang mabalitaan ang tungkol sa auction, sinabi raw ni Maria Rosario sa kanyang ina, "Mom, I will try my best to win this for you so you can take a photo with him."

Ito na raw ang pinaka-regalo niya sa ina na nagdaraos ngayong araw ng kanyang 74th birthday.

Pasasalamat na rin daw ito ni Maria Rosario sa ina na patuloy siyang inaalagaan lalo pa't na-stroke siya kamakailan.

Agad namang bumaba sa stage si Kim Hyun Joong upang lapitan ang mag-ina.

Inabot ni Patria ang ginawa niyang scrapbook para kay Kim Hyun Joong na agad namang sinuklian ng aktor ng isang mahigpit na yakap.

Maluha-luha ang mag-ina nang makaharap ang iniidolong Korean celebrity.

Hindi man naintindihan ng marami ang mga sinabi Hyun Joong sa mag-ina (dahil nagsasalita ito in Korean), kitang-kita naman sa mukha nito ang taos-pusong pagpapasalamat sa suporta ng kanyang fans hindi lamang sa kanyang mga programa at musika, kundi pati na rin sa kanyang mga charity projects.

Matapos ang maiksing pagtatagpo ng mag-inang Ragasa at ni Kim Hyun Joong ay inabot na ng Korean actor sa representative ng Abiertas House of Friendship, ang beneficiary ng auction, ang tsekeng nagkakahalaga ng Php100,000.

Bukod dito, ibinalita rin ni Grace Lee na mismong si Kim Hyun Joong ay personal din na nagbigay ng one million pesos na donasyon sa center na tumutulong sa emotional at spiritual healing ng mga unwed mothers sa bansa.

K-pop star Kim Hyun Joong hopes to include Manila in upcoming tour

PEP:

K-pop superstar Kim Hyun Joong's Philippine visit only proves that he is indeed capable of striking out on his own as a solo artist.

The success of his singles "Please," "Break Down," and "Kiss Kiss" instantly propelled Kim Hyun Joong to the charts, easily making him one of the Korean acts worth keeping an eye on.

His Manila engagement—which included a press conference at the EDSA Shangri-La Hotel in Mandaluyong City and a live show at the TriNoma Activity Center in Quezon City yesterday, August 25—was organized to promote his debut album, Break Down.

The 25-year-old singer-songwriter and model actually needs little introduction to the Filipino audience.

The K-pop phenomenon that has swept Asia, and that includes the Philippines, made Kim Hyun Joong an international celebrity admired by young and adult fans.

Local TV fanatics have also come across Kim Hyun Joong through the Koreanovela series Boys Over Flowers and Playful Kiss.

Speaking with the help of an interpreter, the Korean pop star relayed feeling "shocked" and "amazed" by the warm reception accorded to him by the Filipino fans right from the moment he arrived at the airport.

Being a solo artist and touring on his own require a lot of adjustments, said Kim Hyun Joong, who is regarded as the leader and main dancer of the hit boyband SS501.

Like most K-pop artists, Kim Hyun Joong dabbled in acting to complement his rosy music career.

Giving up one for the other, however, is not an option for Kim Hyun Joong.

"It's hard to say, both of it is my profession and I love it," he answered.

In fact, Kim Hyun Joong cited singing, acting, and performing as the three major things that keep him happy and inspired.

The Manila visit is an indication of bigger things to come in the future. An Asian tour before the year ends only means that fans will be seeing and hearing more of the pop idol.

Overwhelmed perhaps by the support expressed by his Filipino fans, Kim Hyun Joong hopes to include the Philippines in the upcoming tour.

Break Down was released last June and fared impressively in neighboring Asian countries like China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia.

Kim Hyun Joong's debut solo album is also available in all record bars here in the Philippines, and is distributed by PolyEast Records.

Korean star Kim Hyun Joong, handang makipaglaro sa PHL Azkals

GMA NEWS:

Bukod sa pagkanta at pag-arte, ang paglalaro ng soccer o football ang pinagkakaabalahan daw ng Korean Pop star na si Kim Hyung Joong.

Nasa Pilipinas ngayon si Hyung Joong, bida sa GMA 7's Playful Kiss, para sa ilang proyekto kasama na ang charity works na tumutulong sa mga single mom.

Sa panayam ni Grace Lee para sa Chika Minute ng GMA news 24 Oras nitong Biyernes, sinabi ng Korean heartthrob na nakahanda siyang makipaglaro sa Philippine Azkals kapag inimbitahan.

May kapalit din daw na sakripisyo ang kasikatan dahil bihirang-bihira na niyang makita ang kanyang pamilya. Ngayon taon nga, tinataya niyang limang ulit pa lang niyang nakikita ang kanyang pamilya.

Pero lagi naman daw may pabaon ang kanyang ina tuwing umaalis siya.

Ang kanyang pagtulong sa mga Pinoy single mom ay isang paraan daw ni Hyung Joong para ibalik ang pasasalamat sa kanyang mga tagahangang Pinoy. -- FRJ, GMA News

Kim Hyun Joong live in TriNoma on Aug. 25

MB:

The first-ever “high-five” experience in the country happens when Kim Hyun Joong visits the country in The Hi-Five Touch Event on Aug. 25 at the TriNoma Activity Center to promote his brand new album “Break down,” distributed by PolyEast Records.

All music fans have to do is buy a copy of “Break down” at the event through Astroplus after which a special lotte card will be issued and exchanged for a High 5 touch pass issued by TriNoma. Note that there will be no ticket selling, no autograph signing, no meet & greet nor picture-taking but just a simple “gimme me five” up-close and personal moment with Kim Hyun Joong.

Kim Hyun Joong debuts with the album “Break down” as he displays a different persona compared to his SS501 days. Hyun Joong has taken the most generic route out of all the SS501 member's solo activities—typical synthesizer instrumentals, heavy beats and catchy choruses as well as bubblegum pop.

After rounding up his tour both in the US and South Korea, Kim Hyun Joong hit back the studio and recorded this mini-album with KAT-TUN producer Steven Lee.

Kim Hyun Joong’s involvement in making the album together with Japanese group V6 and Lee allowed him to reveal his talent as a solo artist. “Break Down” consists of six songs, with one instrumental version of the title track.

The title track is a powerful synthesized song with an urban style which features the stylish rapping of South Korea’s Double K; and Ken Lewis (Eminem, Kanye West, Usher and John Legend) as the single’s producer. The music video for "Break Down" was simultaneously released with the single’s digital release.

Marking his comeback to the music scene, the album also features the previously released single “Please” in which Kim Hyun Joong portrayed a different and mature image in his music video. Other album highlights include “Intro (Let Me Go)” which opens with a magnificent pipe organ melody. Also in the album is the song “Kiss Kiss,” another pop/dance song interestingly accompanied with an acoustic guitar, as well as the dance-y, “Yes I Will.”

Aside from the Philippines, “Break Down” will also be released in South Korea, Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia.

Kim Hyun Joong’s solo mini-album “Break Down” is available at all record bars nationwide exclusively distributed by PolyEast Records in cooperation with KeyEast Entertainment and CJ E&M Korea. Special thanks to TriNoma, Edsa Shangri-La, The Black Fleet, Astroplus, Sparkling, MYX, and Manila Bulletin.
