Noona's heart is sore! Kim Hyun Joong has gone all the way in the MATURE and SENSUAL 'Your Story' MV release for Round 3! OUCH!
Oh, my chest! Why does it hurt so much? Why do my eyes burn? What is this!!!!????!!!! Oh... WAIT! That's my Angel Baby, Kim Hyun Joong, and who the HELL is that... half naked!!! WOMAN!? Seriously, I did not expect to feel this way when I clicked play on the 'Your Story' video on Monday July 29th. I was anticipating something like the Japanese version which was beautiful and heart felt and emotional and artistic. When I saw this... oh.... I am still not breathing properly. Breathe... breathe... breathe... calm... calm...watching him do such a mature make out session with clothes coming off and real kissing scenes and more clothes coming off and laying down on the bed and the muscles and the skin and the....panting... out of breath... can't watch...
I am still processing my thoughts and feelings about Unbreakable... and now, I have to endure this too? Really, I am so happy for Kim Hyun Joong. He has finally broken the Flower Boy mold. I know he has been working to be acknowledged as a real artist and a man. I am so happy for him to be doing what he wants and to be enjoying his success. It's just a little hard to take, even though he has been working up to this since Breakdown. I am smiling, but with sadness and a lump in my throat. I miss my Flower Boy... but, I am starting to fall pretty hard for this manly man! He always had my heart, now he has my FULL ATTENTION! :D
Aww... my head is still reeling! My thought to myself: I was all right with other K-pop artist having videos like this. I even watched a Taeyang video that had similar steaminess and wasn't affected much. But, this is my Angel. I'm struggling to accept it. He did promise in his 28th Message to us that he would show his soft side to us again in 'Gentle Man.' I am waiting patiently to see it. It will be the balm for my raw nerves like Marry You/Marry Me after Breakdown! KHJ knows just how to shock us and then heal us! LOL! His dark and edgy side is showing more and more. We all knew it was there... it's just a shock to the senses.
Aww... still struggling with my breathing and heart rate! I'll just change the subject to Barefoot Friends. I finally got a chance to watch the last few episodes and although I am enjoying the Diving Competition for the other cast members, I am disappointed that Hyun Joong was unable to have as much screen time because of his injury. He did well, but I know he has the ability to do GREAT! It was sad for me. Not because I was disappointed in him... I was disappointed FOR him. I know how much he wants to always show his best.
His disappointment was obvious as I watched his expressions and reactions to his teammates. He was happy for them, but he just wasn't his usual enthusiastic self.
I was really excited when he ran and jumped off the platform and was the farthest jumper at 7 m! It was so cool! His smile was happy and bright, and I thought, 'That's my Kim Hyun Joong!' Even though Eun Hyuk jumped further later on, It reminded me of WGM days when he did a flip off the platform at the water park. He can do anything! He was so young then, really! The time has gone too quickly.

The Photo Sho0t for Star 1 was so effortless for Kim Hyun Joong. Even in casual street clothes... he needs do nothing more than hang out and glance at the camera.
I am finding the most amusement reading the articles and reactions from the K-pop news sites trying to grab a piece of the spotlight that is shining on him right now. I am just hiding my smile when they come across with information and facts that were from his Breakdown times or even earlier. It feels good to be an 'insider' who knows the journey he has traveled to get where he is. Some of these articles make it seem like he's coming out of nowhere and bursting on the scene in S. Korea. 'Where has he been?' they seem to be asking.
He's been busy, happy, and growing into a fine man. He's been working hard to improve his music, his dancing, his acting and his voice. He's been successfully breaking records and topping Japanese charts and sweeping internet polls. He's been winning awards and gaining legions of International Fans. That's where. And we, his Alien Family, have been following him all along giving support and love. In his official message, Hyun Joong thanked his fans for being loyal and faithful stating:

I am very thankful to my fans who always stand by me.
I do not know when it would be, someday we would not be able to meet any longer but let’s keep missing each other and not forget the memories. ^^
I keep piling up neatly all the pleasant memories in my heart in order to open and see whenever I miss you.
Let’s live happily~~~ ‘Your Story’ is the song just for you ^^ fighting
The K-pop world is all a buzz about Kim Hyun Joong. His Breakout Success, Round 3, has hit them hard with 'Unbreakable' and 'Your Story' and they are loving every minute! K-drama fans will soon be talking about him in 'Inspiring Generation,' as well. Get ready for it! Kim Hyun Joong has come home to stay.
One comment I read compared his 'wife beater' style in 'Your Story' and in the Star 1 photo shoot to Jay Park. His style is just like Jay Park, it said. Well, take a look back at Unlimited. He is not copying anyone. Kim Hyun Joong was already at home with this look. It's just a manly look. I'll bet I could find any number of idol stars in photos wearing their plain white undershirts to show off the muscles they have worked so hard to build. It's a man thing, not a 'Jay Park' thing. I am not shocked when people try to downplay him. It's just amusing.
They can't just enjoy what he's showing without comments. Let them talk. He's the man of the hour. I'm so glad he's finally getting the ears and eyes of his S. Korean nation. He deserves to be recognized there. Congratulations to my Angel. I have been wanting this for you for two years. I am glad to finally see it coming to be. I've been quietly watching and waiting. With the official announcement of his participation in the drama 'Inspiring Generation,' my wishes are fulfilled. And. Although, I have not been able to see it yet, Episode Zero, City Conquest is on YouTube as well. I can't wait to watch.

My thoughts were racing after seeing the video for 'Your Story,' as I was trying to decide if I really know Kim Hyun Joong. Sometimes we can be so close to someone we don't see them changing. Has he changed? That was the question I was pondering with great depth. Truthfully, Kim Hyun Joong is a chameleon. This is what makes him such a great artist. He can put on any character and then take it off again like a garment. In order to know him, you only have to remind yourself of his words. When he speaks, we see his heart, and that is where his integrity remains.
I read another recent interview where he made statements about being an idol and in the public eye. He spoke of responsibility and caution saying he does not recall having to defend himself against any type of serious rumors. This has always been true. Anything thrown at him slides off quickly because he always tells the truth. Kim Hyun Joong is himself without any apologies because he has nothing to hide. That is why I love him to the marrow of his bones. He may seem to be constantly changing, but in the center of the whirlwind is a man with stable values. He never wavers from the principles he set down from the beginning of his career.

Kim Hyun Joong's personality is quiet, strong, thoughtful and gentle. He remains stable in a world that can cause lesser men to drift with the tides of trend and change.
To Kim Hyun Joong, relationships matter the most. He has built friendships that have lasted through the years of hard work and long absences. His childhood friends remain, running his restaurant. The friendships he made during his days as a rookie remain strong and active. He plays soccer with them, has drinks with them, continues to support his SS501 band members even while soaring to greater heights of success, and calls Kim Jaejoong of JYJ one of his best friends for life since the two were roommates for a year and grew to be so close they actually wrote letters to each other. So Cute.
New relationships are just as important to him. He has bonded with the cast of barefoot friends and even did an interview recently with Kim Bum Soo on his radio show after an injury required Bum Soo to leave the variety show. I wonder if they bonded over their injuries? LOL! I actually grew fond of the BF cast members as well and was quite sad when Kim Bum Soo had to leave. He is so hardworking and a perfectionist. I hope he is not being too hard on himself. Good job, Hyun Joong, going out to support him. You are a great friend indeed!

For Kim Hyun Joong, one of the most important relationships in his life is his relationship with his fans. His comments prior to the release of the Korean version of 'Your Story' dedicates his hard work and the video to his fans. We may be stung with a bit of green eyed envy while watching, but we know his heart. He loves us and wants us to have fun with his music and art. Honestly, I have not been able to watch the video again after that first time. I have been a bit fearful! HA! My initial reaction was a bit painful. I was not expecting that level of sensuality from Hyun Joong.
I know I will watch it again. In fact, I would have already if I wasn't so busy working. It has taken me the full week just to write this piece. I am calmer and more relaxed than I was just 4 days ago. I will re-visit 'Your Story' with the reassurance that it is still Kim Hyun Joong, and is meant for entertainment. I think I may just be a little too invested on a personal level considering my initial reaction. I actually felt betrayed! Ha! I am laughing at myself over that. When I read his 28th message, I realized Hyun Joong wants me, as his fan, to continue the journey with him and take his work for what it is... an expression of his heart.
I think we can be sure he was thinking of us the whole time while creating this experience for us. No need to worry, he is still my Only One, and he hasn't changed. Thank you, Kim Hyun Joong. Thank you for being reliable and steady. I can still come to you to refresh my spirit when I am tired. I will enjoy the hard work you have done for my sake. I will enjoy it well. I'm actually wanting to see 'Your Story' again right now! Too bad, I'm at work and can't access it. I will have to wait until I am home tonight. It's a date with noona. See you then...
