[ARTICLE]Kim Hyun Joong: Sleeping with the Enemy

It is Hate's Purpose to Steal Your Joy:  Don't Let Him Win!

Today is a Beautiful and Sunny day with moderate Temperatures in the Low 70s.  I am working in my apartment with my windows open enjoying a cool fresh breeze and I am feeling happy and content.  Why am I giving you a weather report and telling you my mood?  Because, I want you to take your emotional temperature.  Gage for me how you are feeling at this moment.  Recent Media Reports have stirred up a hornet's nest in the hearts of Kim Hyun Joong's fans, and the emotional response I am seeing is breaking my heart.  I dearly love my sisters in this group of lovely people who have gathered around the man I have come to think of as my Compass.  Kim Hyun Joong's Beauty, Humility, Strength, Wisdom and Love have made my life so much happier in the past four years.  Part of that Love has extended to so many new friends I have had the privilege of meeting around the world, and I experience true Joy in my heart on a daily basis as I interact and share my heart with them.

What I am seeing on my Twitter feeds, facebook posts, and comment boxes on other sites is disheartening to say the least.  The Enemy we are facing has thrown a huge punch to the face, and it is normal, and understandable to react with Anger and Intense Pain.  I don't want to tell you not to vent your feelings.  When strong emotions hit us, it is HEALTHY to let it out, and in your private space, that is appropriate and necessary.  What I am asking is that we take a breath and think before we lob Stones at the perceived enemy in the form of curses and name calling.  Is this not what we have experienced from the Enemy Camp?  If we descend into their darkness, all hope is lost.  I am urging you not to give the Enemy your thoughts and your heart to twist and distort into hate.  Don't give them your precious time.  Think only of Hyun Joong and his love, happiness and joy.  Don't let this set back Destroy Your Joy.  If you need to vent, send a private email, or private message on Facebook or Twitter to me or one another.  I will be glad to hash it out with you, because I am angry too, However  I see Evil Laughing as He brings us down, and I am BROKEN to TEARS as it is displayed for all to see in the public forums.

And so, today, I want to discuss a uniquely Korean Concept called 'Kibun.'  It is a concept that permeates the entire Korean Culture and is seeded in Confucianism. Basically, Kibun is a person's Image.  But, the concept goes much deeper than that.  If I were to put a word to it, I would say it is more like a person's Soul.  It is the innate Dignity of Every Human Being Created in the Image of God.   I understand the concept through a filter of Christianity, but, I think the words, pride, face, mood, mind or feelings as defined below are a little too vague and cold.  Kibun is the core of your being, your self worth, your heart of hearts.  

To damage a person's kibun is a grave sin in Korean Culture.  The hierarchy of respect in the family and in business are based on this concept.  That is why Koreans bow to their elders or superiors and use a complex system of address to convey a person's proper place in polite society.  We have heard words like hyung (older brother, male), noona (older sister, male), oppa (older brother, female), eonie (older sister, female), sunbae (upper classman), seonsaengnim (teacher or superior), and oemeonim (mother, mother in law), abeonim (father, father in law), haimeonim (grandmother), and harabeoji (grandfather) to name a few.  All of these addresses show respect and assign the proper amount of status in the societal structure.

 기분 (Gi-boon) or Kibun is an important factor to consider in Korean culture when it comes to relationship. Kibun has no exact English translation. But it is mostly related to terms like pride, face, mood, mind, or feelings.

Why have I gone into teacher mode and introduced a Korean Lesson today?  I want everyone to understand the gravity of what has happened to our Precious Hyun Joongie!  It has hit us hard and we all understand the Universal Concept of Betrayal.  But, for Hyun Jooong, this Public Defamation is FAR WORSE.  To be RESPECTED is so deeply important to a Korean person.  What this accusation has done, the deep scars it will leave, are beyond Hell.  Unfortunately, the anonymity of the internet has allowed Korean Citizens to do the worse kind of damage to each other.  They will say things about a person they would never dare say to their faces if they were in their social circle.  This phenomenon is not only prevalent in Korean Society, but it is a world wide cancer.  Cyber Bullying has been a Hot Topic, and legal action is DIFFICULT to take when someone is being targeted this way.  Individuals without faces become a digital lynch mob, and retribution is impossible.

I want to appeal to this woman fervently to consider what she has done to a person who does not deserve this Public Shame.  What happened was private, and she knows in her heart of hearts that Kim Hyun Joong is a Good Man.  She knows that her lies are destroying a person in a vicious and cruel way.  She knows that her anger and jealousy have gone too far.  Unfortunately, it seems too late to turn back now.  I know she is surrounded by family, friends and lawyers who are urging her to get her compensation and revenge.  I am hoping she will consider in her heart the severity of the damage that is being done.  I hope she can consider Kim Hyun Joong's Kibun and reconsider her path.  To release such a statement to the press demanding apologies and compensation and threatening him so openly is beyond cowardice.  Walk up to his face and say these things.  Meet with him personally and make your threats.  You couldn't do that and you know it.  You are being USED by people who want only Headlines and Greed.

And to the fans, Oh My Precious Ones, don't become like her, please.  She is a human being also.  Treat her with the respect she does not deserve.  Give her consideration for the mess she has created.  It seems she started something that has grown out of her control now.  I am actually sorry for her.  When the truth is revealed and she has to live with her sin, I pray for her soul.  I honestly want her to see the light and repent, not because I am angry (believe me I am), but because she was also created in the image of God.  What she is doing to herself is beyond pitiful.  She has become a monster driven by greed and revenge.  Deep inside, there is still a woman.  A woman who knows it is against nature to destroy the person you claimed to have loved.  A woman was made to nurture, love and protect.  To give life and sustain it.  She is destroying her very nature, and I grieve for her as well.

And for the sake of Kim Hyun Joong, let's not damage his Kibun any further by becoming like his enemy.  His True Enemy is Evil, not a human being.  I know he will be broken and bruised if his Beautiful Fans become ugly and evil as well.  We may think we are defending him, but we are defacing him even more when we behave as she has, as his haters have, hurling curses and pain.  We represent the most Beautiful Soul I have ever witnessed.  Let's keep his Respect in tact, and Kill them with Kindness as they saying goes.  Love erases hate.  Love destroys Evil.  Love frees the Soul.  So, love others as you would have them love you, and as you love yourself.  Don't let them pull you into darkness and pain.  Stay Strong, Shine Out, let the whole world See how beautiful you are and how you were Created to Be.  Love.  It is the only way to defeat the pain, the damage, the sorrow and scars.  Love each other.  Love Hyun Joong.  And love little Miss A because she deserves love too.  It is my guess that she has never really been loved before, and that is why she appears to be so damaged.  Perhaps, if she is loved in spite of herself, her heart will heal and she will relent.

And so, I will bring this sermon to a close!  LOL!  I just hurt so much for all the pain that is being spread on both sides of this war.  War is so ugly and destructive.  Come back to me here to read about Hyun Joong's Beauty as often as you need to keep your heart pure, positive, and refreshed.  I refuse to let Evil Steal Our Joy!  I want to enjoy you and Hyun Joong again.  I want to ignore the haters and the deceivers.  I am feeling helpless as you are.  I want to be able to show the truth and clear up this mess.  I want Kim Hyun Joong to be able to go on with his calling without distraction.  I want him to be able to continue blessing others and changing lives right up until he has to enter the military, and to take it up again as soon as he is released.  My Prayer is for him to clear his name and move on.  I don't know how this will come about, but I am trusting God to bring about Divine Justice.  I know it will happen.  I am just watching and waiting to see.

 For I know the plans  I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  Jeremiah 29:11
