Kim Hyun Joong in the press [News 1]

Here is a very nice article from a journalist present at the showcase on February 27th.

Even if the automatic translation by a machine does not allow us to fully understand all the nuances of the language (starting with the translation of the title of which we are not very sure), Kim Hyun Joong still gives us a few little secrets:

“I have become the head of a family, and like my father, I have no choice but to move on.”

.

Singer Kim Hyun-joong appeared in a completely different way musically.

.

I could feel the live band, the sincere lyrics, and the strong and steady state of mind.

.

Kim Hyun-joong told News 1 that after becoming a householder, he feels he has matured musically.

.

Kim Hyun-joong released “My Sun” on the 27th of last month.

This album is based on the life of Michael Collins, the first human to land on the moon and face the upside of the moon.

.

As if sympathizing with Collins’ loneliness when he first saw the other side of the moon, Kim Hyun-joong said he was inspired by his story.

.

“After Collins arrived on Earth, he said, ‘I was alone because there was no sun on the other side of the moon,’ he said.

.

In this album, Kim Hyun-joong seems to have captured the different emotions he felt towards the “suns” that surround him and which no longer make him feel alone.

.

If in the past, as an idol, he delivered performances that made girls flutter, the texture of “My Sun” he released this time around is completely different.

.

Kim Hyun-joong performed three songs with a live band during his showcase, as if to show that he has changed his musical world.

.

In particular, in the title track “My Sun,” Kim Hyun-joong showed a gradually high-pitched voice, as if shouting.
He seemed to vomit various emotions from the turbulent events of the past.

.

Kim Hyun-joong said at the scene that day, “I think I’m here because there are a lot of people who believe in me and support me and my family and support me in my life and in ‘any situation’. “I want it,” he said.

.

That day, Kim Hyunjoong mentioned that he had a “son”, with his family and fans among the sun cast in “My Sun.” (?)😏

.

Last year he married his first love, whom he met 14 years ago, and held his son in his arms.

He also showcased his hardened mindset as a householder, saying, “There are a lot of fathers in this world, and I thought I should be grateful to live in this world.”

.

How did Kim Hyun-joong change the music world of ‘singer Kim Hyun-joong’ after he started his family?

.

After the album’s release, Kim Hyun-joong honestly answered News 1’s question, “Did becoming a father change the musicality or the spirit of ‘vocalist Kim Hyun-joong’?” .

.

He replied, “A lot of people ask me if ‘MY SON’ is on ‘ MY SUN’, but my album itself is literally ‘SUN.”

.

Kim Hyunjoong added,
“I’m grateful to my family, friends, colleagues, and fans who raised me, and now I made this song with the thought that I want to take it a step further and be a little shoulder for them.”

.

“‘Becoming a father’ is actually not an appropriate phrase,” he said.

.

He added, “Now that I’ve become the head of the family, I think I can understand, even a little, the greatness and hard work of fathers in this world.”

.

Kim Hyun-joong said, “I feel like I’ve matured musically every time I write lyrics.
I feel like I’m writing my real story, and not just cool stuff.”

.

I was also curious about how Kim Hyun-joong raises his children.
“Life as a father doesn’t seem very special,” he said.
