"It's really hard because Romeo never talk. haha"
Park Jung Min who is not 'Romeo' is so
sunny and energetic. SS501 Park Jung Min who officially debuted in Japan
with the new name 'Romeo' said "It's really interesting and fresh
attempt to me" and smiled brightly.
The last 29th, In Tokyo Liquid Room, Park
Jung Min opened showcase of Japanese project 'Romeo' which congratulate
Romeo's debut single and shown powerful debut stage. After that, he had
dinner with reporters and talked about Romeo's making story and his
thought of Romeo.
Park Jung Min said "I prepared 'Romeo'
project with Jeff Miyahara from the early 2011." "I thought it will be
an interesting attempt because the 'Romeo Project' is really different
style from Park Jung Min's style that I used to show."
'Romeo' is the person who is another
intelligent life of Park Jung Min's subconsciousness. Having
storytelling and fantasy of Japanese style too. If Park Jung Min is
usually sunny and friendly, 'Romeo' is chic and powerful and
charismatic.
Park Jung Min explained "Romeo is the
person who can't smile and love because of no heart or stopped heart, or
he is not the person but the other being."
'Romeo' didn't smile and even talk any
words at the stage. Usually he smiled to his fans very often, so he said
that some fans felt a little bit awkward of Romeo's opposite style.
Park Jung Min said "At the first time,
fans felt a little bit awkward because it's too different style from the
usual Park Jung Min." and "I tried to show more rough voice and deep
charismatic feeling and expression than usual Park Jung Min did. 'Romeo'
must not talk, so I felt awkward too." and he laughed.
'Romeo' was made by the global
entertainment group Yamaha which recognized the possibility of Park Jung
Min, and Jeff Miyahara who has produced famous Japanese top artist like
Amuro Namie, V6, KAT-TUN, JUJU.
Danaka Noriyuki who was creative director
of Oguri Shun, Sawajiri Erika, Sony Erikson, Shiseido has participated
as visual director.
Jeff Miyahara said "I want to show the
other side of Park Jung Min, and emphasize more artistic side." and "I
can catch the 'Rock spirit' of inside Park Jung Min through the dance
and stage performance(or musical activity) which he shown to public
until now, and I think he will get this concept successfully more than
anyone else."
And he said "I want to develop the Romeo
as an artist who has senses of Japan, Asia and Worldwide, so I'm trying
to get more various feelings not only with my own style but also with
various song-writers of USA, Germany, Sweden, Taiwan."

Kim Hyun Joong recently commemorated the recent one year anniversary of his Japanese fan club, Henecia Japan, in a very big way.
On October 4 at the Budokan, Kim Hyun Joong held a special memorial event for his City Conquest drama for his Henecia Japan fan members.
Appearing on stage before thousands, Kim Hyun Joong expressed his gratitude saying, “I’m happy I’m able to stand on the Budokan, which all artists aspire to stand on. It’s not just the 1 year anniversary [of the fan club] but the 100 year anniversary I want to congratulate too.”
He added, “To achieve that, we must think of each other and I will continue to make good music and acting while everyone should eat good food and medicine to be healthy.”
Kim Hyun Joong was later joined on stage by City Conquest co-star, Jung Yu Mi and director Yang Yoon Ho who introduced the drama, shared stories from behind the scenes and showed an introductory video.
Regarding working with the singer and actor, director Yang Yoon Ho shared, “I thought he was a handsome actor but after meeting him, I was surprised by his masculinity and toughness. But when we drink together he is humorous and has a cute aspect of him which made me even more surprised.”
“The lead character, Mir, takes care of societal issues in an independent manner but comes to find love during the same process, which has been the main focus of my shooting,” the director added.
When asked if Kim Hyun Joong felt any similarities in real life with his Baek Miru character, the actor responded, “I don’t know if you all will believe me or not but [I too] also put my life on the line when it comes to the person I love.”
In addition to devoting time to his upcoming drama, Kim Hyun Joong took the stage to perform a total of nine tracks over the course of an hour or so including his past hits such as Do You Like That and Lucky Guy and more.
After performing, Kim Hyun Joong shared, “It was extremely difficult preparing for the stage during my drama shooting but I think there has been a return in my acting and singing. One cannot fool effort. I hope that effort will go on to my acting in City Conquest.
Jung Yu Mi expressed her admiration after seeing Kim Hyun Joong up close as an artist for the first time saying, “The atmosphere has really become the best and I thought for the first time, ‘Oh, he really is a singer’. During filming, I saw [Kim Hyun Joong] practicing hard with a band but being able to see the performance here today makes my heart full.”
The singer also made a surprise revelation that he would be releasing his first full-length Japanese album in December, near Christmas, much to the delight of his fans.
City Conquest is expected to premiere on KBS sometime towards the end of this year while premiering in Japan in March of next year on the satellite channel, DATV.

This concert is the live stage which celebrate of Romeo's Japanese debut single 'Give Me Your Heart'
Including Japanese fans, so many fans who came from the other countries like Taiwan and Korea gave cheer to this concert, so we can realize the status of Park Jung Min again.
Staff of the Yamaha A&R, the Japanese agency of Park Jung Min, said "That was 1/5 scale of the concert that Park Jung Min used to held, so we have to allowed of ticketing to only buyer of his debut albums."
and said "At the ticketing day, the competitive rate reached up to 80:1 within just an hour, and so many fans participated the ticketing that all of tickets were sold out." and "Because the live hall is not that big, we have to limit the number of audiences as 777."
**"Forget the Park Jung Min"...cloudy dark fantasy 'Romeo' "got the audience's mind"**
Park Jung Min threw away his normal image which is sunny and playful, and revealed charismatic image. First of all, he met the audience with the video which include 'Romeo' who is different ego of Park Jung Min and representative of dark desire inside of Jung Min's subconsciousness.
And he came on the stage and sang 'Give Me Your Heart' as the first song of the concert.
He appeared as a dark fantasy 'Romeo' which looks like a character of the animation or game, and shown powerful performance and killer charisma, got cheers of fans.
With dancers, He shown wonderful dance performance with powerful live voice and ruled the stage. Fans are shaking their hands from left to right as following the melody, and shouting 'Romeo!' for cheering to him.
At the second stage, Park Jung Min who is in the black suit sat on the black couch, and sang 'Taste the fever' in low voice, made a really unique mood. The shout of audience is bigger and bigger because of the rhythmical melody and splendid performance.
**"Don't know anything If just listening the melody"...reversed charm, dark power 'shown up'**
In the next stage 'Hide and seek love', he started to sing with sitting on the couch. Revealed chicness in the all-black suit, expressed sad feeling with the sorrowful voice.
He realized the tragic reality that Romeo 'can't love' and expressed his sorrowful mind that can't do anything for the women who he loves through the lyrics like 'More cruel day by day, foolish play. Oh! No matter how I closed my mind, the memory suddenly took my mind'
He made his fans to feel heartbreaking through the expression of anguish and wander about 'Another me inside of me', and then he turn the mood through a little bit light song 'Dream out loud'.
'Even if the whole world is sunk in tears, I want to be the light again at tomorrow. With your breath, always I can fly' When he has shown a hopeful message with the lyrics, all the fans applauded and cheered.
But this light mood can't be long anymore. He sang the 'DEVIL' and shown up the dark power and made the audience to be fallen into the dark mood.
'I love you who is pure, but I can't spoil you by my devilish mind' With this song, he expressed a dark desire that is hidden inside of human being, and shown what the view of love of Romeo is.

1st episode: He is very calm and quiet. While in transit, he saw videos with iPad.
2nd episode: He loves dancing so much that he sometimes steps even in a narrow elevator. We also feel that he is very dertermined to do what he once decided. This summer, KHJ was very busy with Heat promotion (2nd single in Japan) as well as the new drama (City of Conquest) shooting in Nikko/Kinugawa for the two weeks. He repeated return trips between Korea and Japan. As soon as he arrived at his hotel from Haneda, he immediately started a vocal lesson or had a meeting with the teacher of acting skill about City of Conquest.
3rd episode: During May – July, he was also hectic with Asia FM to visit 8 cities. He cancelled his after-event party in Japan, directly going to dance rehersal to prepare for Asia FM. He has never shown his hard efforts behind the scene to the fans. Though he said “ I cut back body fat to 7%, but I still have to work harder “ in a light way, he was on a very strict diet to reduce his weight by 10 kilos.
4th episode: During his stay in Japan, he only took low-fat milk. Even on the occasion of dinner at a Korean restaurant, he did not eat meat, but had only vegitables.
5th episode: It is well known that KHJ loves Ramen, but he also gave up ramen. On August 10 when he visited Japan for Jinju Gaien Fireworks Festival, he had low-calory “zaru soba “ ( Japanese noodles served on a bamboo draining basket with a dipping sauce) at Fuji Soba in Roppongi.
6th episode: He is full of challenge spirit, loving to show something new to his fans. He cared about the reaction from the fans to “ Heat “ performance which was the first time for him to sing and dance with the bank.
7th episode: On July 3, he had a hand-shake session at Odaiba to celebrate the release of Heat album. He was touched by the fans in a long que even in the heavy rain. So he decided to repay to the fans by Guerrilla live at Tokyo. He proposed this idea to us.
He said “ I would like them to enjoy live performance, but it is not easy in a big-scale event venue as there is a distance between the stage and the audience. I would like to go closer to the fans “
8th episode: Guerrilla live was held at Osaka on July 7 and Nagoya on July 8. According to the Henecia staff, he was scheduled to return to Tokyo on July 8, but he proposed to drop by Nagoya to meet with his fans in Nagoya when he stayed in Osaka. Therefore, staff rushed to Nagoya on the same day (July 7) to look for event venues in the midnight.
9th episode: The next day of the joint concert with Naoto Intirami, his succor-mate, Hyun Joong had pains in his throat in the morning. They once considered to cancell “the invitation event of Heat album” scheduled on July 15. But as he was so determined to do the best what he was able to do with that condition, they decided to carry out the live. After the temporary treatment at the hospital, he was on the stage of the daytime session. His eyes were brimful with tears, being filled with love to his fans.
Now Heat ranked No.1 at both of Daily and Weekly Oricon chart, making another record of over 200,000 copies. According to Henecia staff, “ In the fan board of the official club, Henecia Japan, fans wrote to aim to win Platinum Disk (the award to be given to the sales of 250,000 copies) “
10th episode: Once Kim Hyun Joong talked about his dream, the Dome tour. But he talks about another dream to Henecia Japan staff. “ I would like to have a live in a small venue where I have never visited. I can feel a sence of unity with the audience better in a small venue and they will enjoiy it as well “
Kim Hyun Joong - Why are male stars the models for female cosmetics?
Credit:www.allkpop.com
In the past, beautiful female celebrities
advertised cosmetics and naturally, sales were boosted. However, over
the past few years, male stars have began flaunting their flawless
complexions in cosmetic advertisements.
The streets of Myeongdong in Seoul are
lined with numerous cosmetics stores. In front of each of these stores
are life-size cardboard cutouts of the stars and if you look carefully,
you’ll notice that most of them are male. It appears they chose the
models appropriately as female fans wander from store to store in order
to purchase face masks which feature the face of their favorite stars.
When former soccer star Ahn Jung Hwan,
actors Ahn Jae Won and Hyun Bin began modeling for cosmetic brands it
came as a big shock in the cosmetic industry because makeup models were
exclusively female. Being a model for cosmetics used to be a good gauge
in determining the popularity of a female star. But times have changed
and the door has opened wide for male stars to enter into the cosmetics
advertising industry.
Today, the majority of the male cosmetic
models are singers, more specifically, idol stars. The more female fans
you have as a male idol, the higher chance you have in being an
advertisement model. Also, the brands that they represent are not
high-end brands but rather “pharmacy”-like brands.
These male idol models include Kim Hyun Joong (The Face Shop),
2PM‘s Nichkhun (It’s Skin), TVXQ (Missha), Rain (Nature Republic),
CNBLUE (Holika Holika/Olive Young), Lee Seung Gi (The Saem), JYJ (Tony
Moly/Nature Republic) and F.T. Island (Baviphat). These are but a few of
the male singers who are modeling or have modeled for cosmetics in the
past. As for actors, Kim Soo Hyun (Beyond), Song Joong Ki (Tony Moly),
Won Bin (The Shop), Jang Geun Suk (Nature Republic), and Jung Il Woo
(Holika Holika) are some of the names who have participated as cosmetic
models.
The strategy for using male stars as
marketing for women’s products has been highly successful. For instance,
when actor So Ji Sub began modeling for the undergarment brand Vivien,
requests for posters and calendars came flooding which in turn led to an
increase in sales. Eventually, So Ji Sub’s contract was extended for
one more year.
On the opposite end of the spectrum,
female stars have been modeling for primarily male market products as
well. Before, it was only male stars advertising alcoholic beverages,
but today, it’s hard to see a male star advertising soju. Pushing the
idea of “women you would like to have a drink with“, female stars
including Moon Chae Won, SECRET, Shin Se Kyung, Lee Hyori, and Han Ga In
are seen on various soju posters and print advertisement in every
Korean eatery.

Park Jung Min(25) gave a powerful impression to 777 Japanese fans. But it's not Park Jung Min who we know, it's Romeo. Until now, he worked well as a name of Park Jung Min, but why he use the stage name 'Romeo'? He told that it's the name of second ego or intelligent life that is living in a subconsciousness of Park Jung Min. But it's hard to understand what that means. He said "Don't take it too hard. Maybe it's more easy that you think the character who is activated at night." He explained more easily about the Romeo.
-Who is Romeo?
"It's another me who is being inside of me. Not Park Jung Min who is playful and antic, the Park Jung Min who is dark and silent."
-What is the difference between Romeo and Park Jung Min?
"Romeo can't smile and feel love. He had no heart(or stopped heart), and he is not a person the other being. He just show all of him only through the music."
-When did you think of Romeo Project?
"From the early last year, I prepared this with Jeff Miyahara. I felt interesting that it is really different style from the familiar style of Park Jung Min. I think we got the really interesting result."
-What kind of effort did you have in this project?
"I tried to show more charismatic feeling and expression and more rough voice than existing Park Jung Min did. Both visual and sound are more powerful."
-Could you told me the more details about the music that you're inquiring now?
"I want to show the new style which mixed up three styles; rock, dance, theater. I'm trying to get more various feelings through the work with song-writers of USA, Germany, Sweden, Taiwan and the other countries."
-Can we meet the Romeo in Korea?
"I'm planning to start the activity of Romeo in Korea on this winter. Maybe you can see the unusual style."
