We thought that Kim Hyun Joong had fought and defeated his demons but from what we have been able to feel in the last few days such is not the case. We have some questions:
Does an artist have to be unhappy to be creative?
Is uneasiness the only way out of creativity or is it a myth?
Does stimulating pain exists? or must the artist free himself from what makes him suffer in order to create?
Let himself be carried away by a “at skin level” sensitivity, by the vagaries of life, by a vision of a black existence …
We think that it’s up to the artist to decide and make it (or not) a subject for his work.
But, does he have to suffer to be creative?

Mr. Hyun Joong,
We are very sorry to put the pressure on you and to place
on (your very small, so frail and so fragile) tiny shoulders an additional weight,
but, you are surely aware that you are the “green light” of a lot of people all over this planet, right?
So please, continue to illuminate us, it’s not time to turn off your light …
KHJ was able to be super creative when he is unhappy is just proof that he strives to be the best for his comeback and also because he is existing solely for his art right now (unfortunately so for him but very fortunate for his supporters!). I do wish he will recover from this ultimate heartbreak and is able to forge new relationships.
Hello, I think artists must be In Love to be creative. It’s better for them. But many beautiful songs were created by artists crossing a bad time in their lives. The most beautiful songs of KHJ are « lost love » sad songs. So maybe he is unhappy this days but I bet that his creative mind and heart are boiling. I’m a hyun joong recent fan from Crete, hope i’ll be able to visit JEJU island next year
Pain don’t stimulates. Pain hurts. But as i prefer sad songs I suppose uneasiness is a better
« creative » way
Grace I don’t think he is still thinking about his past ‘heartbreak’
when it’s you who leave you forgot faster. Surely a lonely life is sad (and we’ll never know if he is alone) I think that the only thing that hurts him now is the disregard of KOREAN people
Regards from Belgium to all – like to visit this site- and love KIM HYUNJOONG of course
