On December 31st, we watched live on Youtube “KBS World” channel a ceremony (previously recorded in the manner of Kim Hyun Joong’s concert) the “2020 KBS Drama Awards Live”
Why watch a Korean channel when we don’t understand a single Korean word?
It will be said that feelings and emotions do not need translation and that this has allowed us once again, realize that Korean film industry is still as prolific and how much the number of actors and actresses is important.
That the battle in their ranks must rage and that it must be very difficult to make a name for themselves and a place. As circumstances do not help, most of them must be without work since a year.
We thought Kim Hyun Joong was lucky to have his music.
But this did not completely console us, because between two film awards, KBS had also invited singers … Of course most of them were probably singing film scores, but Kim Hyun Joong also composed and sang film scores and we couldn’t help but wonder why this lack of national pride towards one of their artists who is placed in the “charts” and who is loved internationally?
Prosecuted by a scandal that the Korean press insists on recalling every time his name is mentioned, does Kim Hyun Joong not deserve even a small chance to show that he is not what they persist in wanting to reduce him to?
Do they really find no reason to be proud of one of their most gifted artists? Can’t they make it even a tiny place?
Kim Hyun Joong has decided to appear on KBS’s “Joy” – “Ask Us Anything: Fortune Teller” on January 4th.
We didn’t imagine seeing Kim Hyun Joong on a show like this, but we are very proud of him and can only salute his courage to expose himself this way.
After recent months making a lot of communication efforts, he must have felt, perhaps having enough of the internal lethargy towards his work, that it was now time to throw himself into the lion’s den.
We think he did the right thing by “kicking the anthill”, participating in a question-and-answer session will at least allow him to take the temperature of his popularity with his fellow citizens.
As we say “it breaks or it passes”, after all, he has nothing to lose, it can’t be worse than what he has already experienced.

Kim Hyun Joong needs our support more than ever in the coming weeks.
Then the watchword will be “Let’s be Subversive” Let’s revolt!
Of course there is no question of triggering a 2nd French Revolution in Korea, we only invite you to guillotine some frustrated “Netizens”, leaving your comments on any article or publication mentioning Kim Hyun Joong.
Go nicely without a spirit of revenge.
Focus your comments not on his attractive melancholy look, nor on his too sensual lips (for this you must send a letter of complaint to his mother…), but on his work as an actor and his music, on his fighting spirit and attitude.
Don’t be held back by the fact that you don’t speak Korean or English, leave your comments in your language. Those who really want to read them will take help from a translator, and you will show that people outside Korea read what they write (maybe it will give them something to think about before writing…)
Don’t be intrusive like some fan groups, the name of Kim Hyun Joong’s fan club is HENECIA and not… what you know.
Remember that in HENECIA there is the Latin word BENE, so be GOOD and BENEVOLENT, avoid being revanchists, and above all, please, do not let yourself embark on the path of personal stories that keep coming back. Remember that everything you write in the NET kingdom will stay there for years and will be read by your children.
You wouldn’t like them to read not very bright comments about their parents, would you?
As the war between Google and Naver rages, not everyone will have easy access to Naver (where the little cockroaches are rampant…). When you access it you may find yourself discouraged by the Korean-language character wall and not sure where to start, register first they will then speak to you in English.
So, inhabitants of Henecialand, do we make a little truce for the coming weeks, time to look together in the same direction?
We invite those who have direct links to any article that appears about Kim Hyun Joong to share them.
Here is the link to the site of the show, do not hesitate to add to your comment a thank you to the presenters and the channel, because they too are criticized for inviting Kim Hyun Joong:
Here are some other sites – don’t be put off by some negative comments (this only gives us a sad picture of how KHJ is viewed by some people in his own country).
You can’t please everyone and some human beings have a very harsh way of saying it. Forgive them.

Well said! Let’s play it smart!! Under no circumstances should we be baited and engage with haters in a dog fight online. That’s exactly what the haters want. According to psychologists, the best way to defeat net bullies is to ignore them but continue to express our views in a calm and intelligent manner. The one thing that bullies hate is not to have their voice heard and acknowledged. They are by nature narcissistic. By ignoring them we would have denied them the reason for existence!! KHJ doesn’t need all our heart emojis for the next 2 weeks. He needs his comrades.
