The controvery on Kim Hyun Joong & Jeon DooHwan

SS501’s member Kim HyunJoong is currently mad due to the controversy that is encompassing him in Korea. This controversy of this matter involves the ex-president of Korea, Jeon DooHwan.

What is it exactly that the netizens and citizens are making a fuss about? KBites will lay out the facts.

In Korea on the 18th, the news reported that Kim HyunJoong had gone to the birthday celebration for the former president of the Republic of Korea. This could seem like a simple birthday celebration, however, the fact is that it wasn’t

Many of you guys may not know about the reputation Jeon DooHwan has in Korea. Many of you guys might not also know that some Koreans are just waiting patiently for his death. Jeon DooHwan was the president that caused one of the most notorious act in Korea, also called the “Gwangju Democratization Movement.” Before, Jeon DooHwan had pressured Koreans under the military power, basically making sure that everyone was following him. However, in Gwangju, several hundreds of citizens gathered together and formed a “movement” for the democracy in the government. Unfortunately, the armed forces were too much for the weak citizens to handle, and along with the movement, several hundreds of the citizens were brutally massacre in 2 days, causing a short period of war between the citizens of Korea. This wasn’t his only mistake, but one of the mistakes he is critized the most for.

Jeon DooHwan celebrated his eightieth birthday in Korea, and a suprising guest came on to the scene, and it was no other than Kim HyunJoong. When the news first came on to the scene, it was said that DSP Media had no idea Kim HyunJoong had attended this event. However, it was revealed that he had actually been there at the event and DSP announced once again that HyunJoong had gone there with someone else that knew the former president. DSP Media also made sure to emphasize the point that Kim HyunJoong had only been there “for a while.”

According to one photographer that was present in the birthday scene, he revealed that Kim HyunJoong waited in line along with the other guest to greet the president, and eventually ended up meeting the former president and shaking his hand as well. The controversy continues with Kim HyunJoong’s journal entry he posted. The journal entry will not be posted here, however, HyunJoong was mad about all the response that came to him and he continued on about how he was taken to the birthday party and he didn’t have a choice at all.

DSP media's statement

Hi everybody, this is DSP media
Since yesterday, a lot of people after reading Hyun Joong’s report, tried via many methods to enquire about this matter.
We think we should at least let TS know the entire process of Hyun Joong went to the location in the news report.

The detail is as the followings:

18 January, yesterday is CEO, Lee Ho Yeon’s birthday
That night other than Jung Min who was filming ‘Human Theatre’, we have scheduled appointment together with Hyun Joong, Kyu Jong, Young Saeng and Hyung Jun to have dinner together.

Before going to the appointment place,
Hyun Joong who originally had other schedule in the day, went to the discussion location together with the CEO,
On the way, the CEO received a call
On the way they went in for a while then left and proceed to the appointment location as scheduled.

Without any intention or planning, this incident just happened coincidently
There’s no room for choice
Hyun Joong was not used to receiving bad comments and seems to receive quite hurt by it.

Whether stay for 1 minute or 10 minute, no matter what is the situation at the moment.
Just making an issue by going or not going, although we don’t expect everybody will understand.
But we hope you should write the article after understanding the truth.

Kim Hyunjoong receives heat for attending ex-President’s bday party

Kim Hyunjoong has been receiving a lot of criticism, heat and hate for attending the birthday celebration of ex-President Jun Doohwan. The reason for this? Because Jun Doohwan was one of Korea’s most hated Presidents and considered responsible for the Gwangju Massacre in 1980.

Kim Hyunjoong is apparently deeply hurt from all of the harsh criticism and hate. On the 19th, DSP Entertainment had stepped in to release a statement on their website and clear his name.

“January 18th was the birthday of DSP Entertainment’s CEO, Lee Ho Yeon. Aside from Jungmin who was filming for ‘Human Theatre 2010′, the CEO and the rest of the members had an appointment to eat dinner together. Hyungjoong had another meeting prior to this dinner, so after that meeting, he met up with CEO Lee Ho Yeon to travel together to the dinner location. On the way there however, Lee Ho Yeon received a call from the ex-President’s party, requesting that he drop by. Upon the request, they stopped by prior to heading out for their dinner party.”

Basically, DSP Entertainment is stating that Kim Hyunjoong had no choice but to stop by because DSP Entertainment’s CEO, Lee Ho Yeon, had to make a stop at Jun Doohwan’s celebration. In other words, Hyunjoong was there by coincidence, since he was with Lee Ho Yeon. Unfortunately, because of this, Kim Hyunjoong has been receiving a lot of hate.

Kim Hyun Joong : turned down "Family Outing" Season 2 offer

Popular Korean boy band SS501’s leader Kim Hyun Joong has turned down the offer to appear in the new season of SBS variety show “Family Outing”, according to his agency DSP Media on Thursday.

A representative at DSP told Asia Economic Daily over the phone that although Kim Hyun Joong did receive the offer, he had decided not to take up the show due to his work schedules and other issues.

Producers of “Family Outing” was reported that they asked other idol group members — including Yoona (of Girls’ Generation), Daesung (Big Bang) and Taecyeon (2PM) to be regulars on the new season. However, their companies have all replied that nothing has been decided or set yet.

“Family Outing” was one of the most popular variety shows in Korea since its premiere in June 2008. With many Korean celebrities regularly appearing on the show, “Family Outing” had hit viewership ratings of over 30 percent.

However, the “reality-based” variety show sparked controversy last year when one of the scripts was leaked on the Internet. Fans became outraged when they found that the show was pre-scripted and ratings for the show had been declining ever since.

The entire cast from the first season of “Family Outing”, including the show’s host Yoo Jae Seok and singer Lee Hyori, were set to leave the show after shooting the final episode next week.

With the second season scheduled to air around late February or early March, members of the new cast is expected to be confirmed later this month.

Kim Hyun Joong is Back in Korea (Finally)

[quote]We reported yesterday that SS501 leader, Kim Hyun Joong who was stricken with the H1N1 virus on 6th September, would be returning to Korea on 16th September and here he is![end quote]

Hyun Joong had been cleared by the doctors, of having recovered from the H1N1 virus on the 15th and was discharged from the hospital in Japan on the same day where he has been staying for the past week. Hyun Joong then took a morning flight from Japan on the 16th and touched down at Gimpo Airport in the afternoon, and was greeted by a horde of media personnel awaiting his arrival.

As the first Korean celebrity to be hit by H1N1, many of Hyun Joong's fans were deeply worried about his health, with many turning up at the airport to welcome their idol back.

Wearing a mask for precautionary measures, Hyun Joong was requested to take it down for interviews and he obliged. Hyun Joong looked visibly thinner and worn out from his ordeals and we hope that he will get back in tip-top condition for himself and his fans. Hyun Joong said in a quick interview that he had fully recovered and told his fans to take safety precautions against the H1N1 virus.

DSP Entertainment will not rush Hyun Joong back to work, as his next destination will be to check himself into a treatment center opened by his friend on Jeju Island. He will continue to nurse himself back to health before resuming his hectic schedule from October which includes CF filming and the release of SS501's new album.
