‘Youth with proper life-morals’ Kim Kyu Jong. As I shared the conversation with Kim Kyu Jong, what I really felt was, he is very jovial, healthy and a deep thinker. As he poured some interesting episodes he’s had with his fans excitedly, he finally ended off with a sentence, “that is why I have to become a more awesome person by working harder and harder”. Not the usual pretensious words you would hear, because all that’s seen on him from head to toe is but an honest heart, upright mindset.
A car would be what is called a personal posession. Kim Kyu Jong who doesn’t have a car explained his reasons why, “I think I’d worry too unnecessarily if I bought a car, so I didn’t buy. If I buy and own one, I might probably end up drink driving without my conscious knowledge…and probably make mistakes… Since 20 years old I already have the thinking of not buying any cars”, “Though I will feel sorry to my future girlfriend and maybe might change my mind after I get married, for now that is, I do not have intention to buy any car”, as Kyu Jong laughed and talked about it.
“Even when I go to meet my friends, I use the Mass Rapid Transit often, while if I’m really busy then I’ll take the taxi. The Mass Rapid Transit is fast and comfortable”, as he couldn’t stop raving about his liking for the Mass Rapid Transit trains. “In the past, I used to always put on a hat with my head lowered and being in all low profile to everywhere I went… Just what am I that I need to behave like that..!”, and he laughed. To which he continued, “at that time I felt it was a must for me to do so and that I didn’t have a choice, but now I just do so freely as I wish. If anyone sees me that’s good also. If they ask for my autograph, I’ll give it to them too. Albeit not long ago someone took a picture of me in public and I even heard people saying that I seemed to look like I was in a sorry plight in that picture”, as he laughed to what he said again.
Even Kyu Jong’s reason of wanting to get married quickly explained so, “because I hate temptations”. “As I be in the society circle, or when I meet up with friends or my hyungs, there are alot of temptations. and to those temptations, I really hate it. Although it’s possible for me to have such chances as I’m working, if someday my other-half appears, then I would no longer have those kind of possible opportunities coming to me”, as he explained.
“I hope to marry quickly, enjoy my newly-wed life enjoyingly and freely and also to have a child. Before my father becomes too old for my child, I hope we can spend lovely times together as a family. If I have my child quickly, then after my child grows bigger, we could also have a drink or two together with my father too. He will also be a huge present to my father”, as he added.
Despite him having a busy schedule and possibly more tedious challenges ahead of him, he discussed about this issue to himself and realized, “Compared to my peers’ troubles, I think mine is an enjoying one”. Why? “Last time I used to be very envious of my friends who could go to schools, but when we meet up now, they all sigh. As I was preparing my album, I worried about them and thought to myself that I must go and ask about my friends one day, and after I did, I saw that they were worrying alot about their uncertain futures. It’s very hard on them. If compared to that, I think my worries and perplexes is an enjoying and pleasant one”.
Even as he is the final relayer in SS501 to hold a solo debut and release a solo album last, his goals set for this album is just like his personality too. “Members who released theirs before me progressed better and better as time went by, and burden came to me… Of course it’d be great if my album will turn out great, but because my role in the team is that of a balancer, it’s not so good if any one over-covers any one else. Rather than me turning out as a huge hit, I rather people just have the thought that Kim Kyu Jong is really a not-bad person, and end it (solo debuts) off that way will suffice”.
SS501′s hit song ‘U R MAN’ producer Han Sang-won collaborated with Kyu Jong this time round for title track ‘YESTERDAY’, “If you listen to it the first time, you’d find it a little conventional. But if you listen to it for exactly 3 times, you’ll come to really like it”, as he haha-ed to what he said.
