Subscription to the official Korean fanclub starts this week.

From December 22, 2023 to January 5, 2024.

Official information will be released by the Henecia Agency soon, check the official networks.

**–**

Right now, you may just have a lot of questions and be undecided…

✅ Should you register or not?

✅ Do you have to choose between the official fanclub and the new VROOOM VROOM toy?

✅ Would you like to subscribe to one of them, but you have other priorities in your daily life?

✅ You’re not the kind of person to join a troop, and you don’t have the fetishistic soul of a collector of unpublished images or signed objects, preferring to continue quietly, at your own pace, to follow the artist you admire?

😈 If you have the inclination and the means to subscribe to both, don’t waste your time reading the following.

 

**-**

 

We don’t know if this will help you decide, and we’ve already given our views on what we think of the current official FanClub on a previous page, but here are a few thoughts and suggestions, entirely personal, which you don’t have to agree with or follow, and which might perhaps help you decide.

By subscribing to the official fanclub at a price that we don’t yet know, but which – and this is just a wild guess – shouldn’t exceed €45, since last year’s membership cost €32, you’ll benefit from a number of “advantages”.

 

Probably in 2024 there will be some changes, but by choosing to subscribe in 2023 we had the following benefits:

🍀 You get a nice numbered membership card.
We always thought this card could be used for priority access to ticket sales for a concert but, presumably this priority will only be used for events in Korea and Japan (if you’re a member of the Japanese fanclub).

 

🍀 We’ve found a lot of padlocked “secret” messages that apparently, given the number of views noted, are never read by anyone except those who write them (sometimes five messages in the same day 🤔), but after all, if there are some who need to put their feelings down in black and white why not? (😈 yeah look at you)

 

🍀 We’ve had access to MONTHLY content that you may or may not find amusing, such as:
– alarm clock or phone ringtones (in Korean)
– a birthday card/message sent by Kim Hyun Joong as an e-mailing for all the month’s birthdays (😈when their staff don’t forget to send them…)

 

🍀 We’ve encountered (still and again) a lot of padlocks.
So sudden that we think that in 2024, the site manager would  open a “Super Secret Messages” tab, so that they don’t end up in the middle of (the few) discussions from fans who don’t like padlocks!

 

🍀 We’ve been treated to QUARTERLY content in 2023:

– Four RADIO STORY contents featuring funny and not-so-funny stories sent in by fans.
The four stories deemed most interesting by the Henecia staff were presented in the form of a radio show by Kim Hyun Joong and Bitna.

– Four  HENECIA LIVE ONs, live broadcasts on Youtube (with a private link) that generally dealt with culinary recipes (a subject that seemed to interest the majority) and ended with a short drawing session.

Once subtitled, and despite the fact that we must never forget that even if it’s all about directing and acting, these two programs still allow us, albeit briefly and elliptically, to discover some new, more sincere facets of the human being Kim Hyun Joong.

 

🍀 You’ll be pleasantly surprised from time to time, when he has the time, when he thinks about it (or when he’s having hazy feelings) to receive a written message, a photo or a drawing with very personal thoughts from Kim Hyun Joong, and as we’ve already written, we think this is where such content should be if the official website wants to continue to exist usefully.

… the first photos and information “in real time” being lately rather at Fromm, do not stress if you are not subscribed, because anyway you will find a few hours later, FOR FREE, the same information elsewhere on social networks.

 

🍀From time to time, you’ll also come across interesting dialogues and exchanges between fans, in which you may or may not participate.

 

🍀You may also find yourself a little mugged by what we call a “perfect fan”.” (see our page aboutthe different kinds of fan)
That’s why, after a while, you may also find yourself… posting padlocked messages.

 

**–**

 

Anyway, we don’t know if our explanations have helped you make up your mind, but just in case, here’s one last argument:

The price of an ANNUAL fan club membership will cost you less than the 80 € jar of face cream.
The kind that won’t last more than a month, but will give you the illusion of being wrinkle-free for the rest of your life…

 

Finally, if you think about it serisouly, isn’t this whole business of fanclubs and other social networks a simply story of Illusion and Disillusionment?

Distorted perceptions, judgments and reasoning that take us out of reality and help us live our daily lives.

Kim Hyun Joong has publicly announced that he no longer supports French champagne producers* (yes, we call this misrepresentation or fake news😂), and it was clear to everyone that we should send him greetings cards instead of sweets and alcoholic beverages.

Given that we’re not really sure that our wishes contained in a card would be granted, or that the message we really wanted to send him would actually reach his hands, we decided it was best to stay zen at the end of this year and send him an ‘indirect gift’ that would be a pleasure three times.

Pleasure for a few fans, pleasure for his bank account, pleasure for the guy who collects his taxes at the end of the year.

We’re so generous!

 

So, if there are any fans who would like to join the official fanclub and can’t afford to do so, please send us an email here: khj-france@orange.fr with a little note, just to tell us why you want to join.

We’ll give away 10 subscriptions.

No need for a big speech, and you can do it in French, English, Spanish, Portuguese or Italian (for the other languages sorry we’d love to be able to understand your messages but the automatic translators aren’t quite up to scratch and we might have communication problems😏).

Ther’s no hurry  sending us your message, we won’t choose by order of arrival but by content, and you have until midnight French time on 30 December to write us.

Don’t send us any personal details just yet – we’ll be in touch as soon as the official website reveals the subscription details.

 

Get your pencils ready!

Have a great weekend and week.

*Dear Sir,
To bad have taken such a radical decision.
We are sure that a bottle of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti 2009 La Tâche Grand Cru could change your mind.
