Exploring the Hearts of Fans as Kim Hyun Joong faces the most difficult Battle of his Life and Career
The responses I received via my comment box after releasing my article yesterday have filled my eyes with stinging tears and left a dull aching in my heart. I have always felt that my fellow fans are the most genuine, loving, and sincere people in the world, and their response to the shocking situation Kim Hyun Joong is currently facing is truly a testament to the type of person Kim Hyun Joong is himself. He has attracted the type of people who are NOT quick to judge others, and offer their love and support UNCONDITIONALLY without turning their backs when times are tough. Even though they have been faced with harsh criticism for doing so, Hyun Joong's fans are doing their best to keep their chins up and affirm their faith in the Idol Star whom they affectionately call their Only One. The fans began using that term back when Kim Hyun Joong made a statement during an interview where he was asked what his goals were for his Career. He responded:
"Only want to be Only One and not No.1 Because No.1 will be replaced and become No.2, No.3…But Only One can only be one person, only one Kim Hyun Joong."
This is why we are still protecting him and supporting him. This is why, if these allegations have even a shred of truth, we will continue to stay by his side offering our love and support. It is a relationship forged on something far deeper and more real than the superficiality of show business. I will agree that most entertainers have a persona and an image they portray in public. Behind closed doors, they may be a completely different person. With Kim Hyun Joong, we have glimpsed that other person. He tends to be shy and a man of few words. He has a child like joy that pops out at times making him very playful and cute. Are these acts to make the fans believe he is more lovable? The fact that these displays are usually completely spontaneous gives him a credibility that is undeniable.
Because I addressed my thoughts on the evidence published in the Media that has been brought forward by the girl pressing charges against Kim Hyun Joong, I will not go into a great deal of detail here. You can read all about it in the Kpop e-zines and news reports. She supplied text messages and pictures to the media Dispatch after the news of her police report had been released. All I want to say about that is it does seem rather too convenient that she waited to come forward until Kim Hyun Joong was not in the country to offer up any defense for himself. It also looks very suspicious that she released the texts and photos to the media rather than keeping them private and handing them over as evidence to the Police until he could come back to give his side of the story.
Was there a leak in the Police Department to the Media? I only read different accounts that stated she handed that evidence directly to the media. If that is the case, it truly smacks of a manipulative and unfair opportunity for vengeance. I really don't know what she was thinking by doing it that way. She has placed herself in a position to be seriously discredited and should not be surprised that people who care about Kim Hyun Joong are suspecting her of wanting attention, money and revenge. The fact that the only witness statements came from 'a source close to the victim,' does not lend any more credibility to the evidence. So far, Kim Hyun Joong has really had no one on his side to give any type of conclusive statement or offer explanations about the evidence that has been released. I am sure he has had to keep his silence before his official statement to the Police, and he is being smart to do so. When you have been charged with allegations of a serious crime, "Anything you say can and will be used as evidence against you in a court of law." It is entirely unfair that the gag order has only been placed on Kim Hyun Joong and not the accusing girlfriend, but it is truly for his own good, and only in the right time will he be able to reveal his side shedding more light on the truth.
At this point, I am just praying and waiting to hear what comes out after he has had a chance to tell his side. What people need to remember is that there were CHARGES filed against him. That does not mean he has been CONVICTED or that he is GUILTY OF A CRIME. I am just praying that he will get a fair hearing since all of the publicity for the girlfriend's side has most definitely clouded and polluted any hope for the whole truth and nothing but the truth. That seed of doubt has been planted in the minds of the Korean Citizens, and it's roots have already reached a point of irreparable damage to Kim Hyun Joong's reputation and career. If this is what his ex-girlfriend truly wanted, then she has definitely gained a victory. I hope she feels satisfied that justice has been served. I, on the other hand feel it is a gross INJUSTICE because it should have never been publicized until it was all over and done. Only the OUTCOME should have been released to the public, not one sided accusations and bits and pieces of text conversations that have yet to be concluded as damning by the Police and a Court of Law.

Unfortunately, the haters found my little blog site and due to technical difficulties, I have had to post in free form style the comments that were made previously so I could remove certain ones that did not belong in this space. I will do my best to moderate (which I have never had to do before) any comments that do not support Kim Hyun Joong and provide healing for him and his true fans. If you see inflammatory, negative and ugly comments before I do, please just let them be. I will remove them when I am home and able to do so. I work a 40 hour a week job and cannot moderate while I am there. On a brighter note, If you wish to reply to anyone that has touched you in a positive way, you can just start a new comment and add their name at the beginning of it like this: @angeljoong
Thank you all once again for protecting each other and Hyun Joong. I love you all so dearly.

COMMENT:Thank you so much for perfectly explaining what's been on my mind as well. Also, getting physical during an argument (if it is mutual) can't be judged without knowing all the circumstances. My ex-husband and I got into physical fights several times before we split up. I was horrified to find myself choking him one time. Nobody would consider either of us as violent or abusive people and as far as I know neither of us ever fought anybody else like that. We just pushed all the wrong buttons in each other. As you said, I doubt we will ever know the whole truth but I hope enough is reveled that most of the public can believe as we his loyal fans know - that he is an honest and good man.

How harsh and judgmental people are before they even have all of the facts. It seems to be going around the world these days, people are condemning on feelings and opinions. Even if proven guilty true friends would still support a person and stand by their side. You don't just throw people away, you guide them, help them become a better person, love them. They will have to pay the consequences of their actions and hopefully learn from it. Everyone has something they are not proud, we all make mistakes especially in a heated situation. For you haters I sincerely hope your family and friends don't feel the same way or you might find yourselves standing alone in one of the worst situations of your life. You are in my prayers Joongah!

@LazerKim,
Oh, LK, I knew it was you! I can recognize your voice anywhere! :) I am glad you had a chance to read here. I hope you can read some of the fan comments here too... they have truly touched me deep in my soul and reaffirmed what I knew all along... Kim Hyun Joong is a GOOD MAN and he cannot be brought down this easily. I hope he can read some of the fans comments too. I was crying when I saw the video on youtube with the fans from the South American countries supporting him with their signs saying 'stay cool and support KHJ!' I could not understand their words very well, but it is like when we listen to KHJ's songs in Korean or Japanese. We don't need to understand all the words because we understand the message with our hearts. Hope you are well... and I really hope Hyun Joong is able to take a bit of a breath and process what has happened. I think my greatest fear is that it will damage him emotionally and psychologically. I know how it feels to be betrayed by someone you trusted enough to open your heart. I know those feelings are the most painful type of mental anguish there is. Even more painful to me than being physically hurt. It feels like you are dying and completely alone. I hope he can take courage and strength from us as we lift him up and place him in the hands of God now. Only the invisible power of love can heal all wounds. He is a blessing to so many... may we be able to bless him even a little bit here as we band together and stand strong. Blessings to you too, LK. You have done so much for KHJ and his fans writing out your heart. Let's move past this and walk with peace in our souls and love in our hearts.

Hello Angie!! Thank you so much for writing again and for being here when HJ needed you the most. I know you're also one busy bee and really I appreciate you for taking time out and write. I read the article you wrote prior to this one and I'm looking for it couldn't locate!! I'm going back to that article.
Anyway, I wrote that article before flying to Thailand for HJ's concert, as I have mentioned I wasn't feeling well that time and I can feel pain just everywhere from Hyun Joong's fans and it hurts so badly. So I vent whatever I felt in my blog, and when I came back after the concert, I felt my house is burning! I felt as if I was also crucified bcoz I defended HJ. Now it appears what I have written is what actually happening. Smear campaign started and trial by publicity against the defendant slowly rolling. This is another reason why I couldn't take side of the woman involve even I'm a woman who is against physical abuse of men, because I can smell something fishy as soon as I have read the first news released, after I have written my article KE came out with statements. And from there smear campaign started.
I agree with you having doubts that evidence leak from the police. I may have no idea how police works in SK but it somehow gave me a thought that the girl who filed the case deliberately handed her so called evidence to the
media. The more I doubted her motive in coming out and filing the case. Of course media would love to sensationalize the case this is how they earn!
I'm with you in saying I hope that woman is satisfied with her revenge in destroying HJ and hurting his millions of fans. It's just so unfortunate HJ met this woman. But I really think he was badly provoked by this woman. Just my personal opinion. Let's just hope for the best and that truth will prevail.
For us fans we can only gather our strength for HJ because it is from us that he pulls his strength.
Thank you again Angie, please do take care of your blog and please do keep up writing whenever time allows you.

Angeljoong thank you for such a supportive and wonderful articles. I had been staying away from those malicious site but always on the look out for news which I tend to read the title and decide whether to risk my eyes and heart to read them through.
I am so glad my friend shared this link with me and I already shared them out to his fans that are unaware of this blog.
And this is the first time I read the whole thing since the allegation started and I cried buckets. I have never cried over someone that are not related then I realised that I have always take him as a family member unconsciously.
I have been following him since his debut with SS501 and all this years observation I never see any hint of fakeness in him. Due to commitment I can't follow him everywhere but I support him in whatever events he involved with. I bought all his albums and watched all his drama. I am a married woman with a family to care for, I have a successful professional career and I understand the stress of a relationship. But it is unfair for him to be condemned and bashed at. Those people are so unreasonable, irresponsible, cruel and selfish. Their comments may not mean anything to themselves but they cause damage to others life and the life of the person beside them.
I am not his mom I am already so devastated what you think his mom feel? I am a mother myself. Your deed whether good or bad will come back to you sooner or later.
I just hope he will not give in and stay strong for his family, friends and his loyal fans and his future. I hope he read this articles so that he know that there are people still support no matter what the outcome of this mess.

It is so beautiful to see everyone banding around him to shield him from the rocks that are being thrown at him. Love conquers all! Thank you so much Alien Family for sticking by his side.

I believe Kim wanted to keep his silence because he said before that even if he is in a r/s, he will keep quiet abt it until getting married cus in case they break up, he doesnt want the girl to be viewed as "somebody's ex". He was just merely trying to protect her but it bounced back :'(

I am a woman , i have a child of his age and i love him like my own child . I think is unfair what is happening with him . what did this girl to him what did she said that he lost his temper , i think she is not the first girl in his life , why nobody did not say anything like that until now . I saw her very selfish , obsessed , jealous person and now i think she was interested on money and i doubt what she did wasn't on purpose i don't buy her good intentions . I am not sorry that i am his fan , he brought so much joy and beauty and excitement in my life and i never stop to believe in him and i'll support him no matter what.

I agree with you. I'm a fan since the beginning and my heart tells me I'm right. I am a woman and I usually always support women. But she does not seem honest. The fact to unpack this story in a tabloid rag pushes me to think that this is just a dishonest revenge. The photos of injuries do not prove HJ made it: she can do this kind of injury alone in falling for example, and worse, she may have been hit by someone else and want to make believe that it is HJ (for the money I'm sure). And for HJ, to see him so confident in Thailand and his request to testify as soon as possible to resume its concerts, confirms my opinion that he is innocent. And do you see the injuries he had in previous concerts? The wounds on his left arm looked like cigarette burns !! As for the video which is now no longer available on YouTube, we see the girl who showed to the fans present at the football match of 23/06/2013 that HJ is hers. She will not let him go. She surely had a lot of jealousy which could not improve with the work of HJ.
I am awaiting the version of HJ and the police report. Hatred of his detractors really makes me sick (I do not sleep very well, I have migraines, my colleagues saw that I was not feeling well).
But I will always be a fan of this great and unique artist. Courage my HJ!
One thing for sure is that he will discover who his real friends, those they love him for what he is, his true fans, not weathervanes.

Once again profound statements. I agree with this 100%, again I said the same thing, waiting until he's not in the countryto defend himself... I'm standing by him cause he would do the same for us. Since no "friends" of his are coming out in his defense or as "sources close to him", then we will. Everyone has the right to have their side of the story heard, this I feel is being handled very poorly. So again, we wait...

Beautifully said. I know that your words resonate with so many of us. More than a fan, I am a human being that admires Kim Hyun Joong, the human being. I like his determination, since he was a child, and his hard work to achieve his dreams. Nothing was handed to him. The response from his fans is a reflection of who he is. He never showed a split persona. His affection, grace and appreciation for others is genuine.
