SS501's leader “Almost got sold to China before debut”,
Thursday October 30, 2008 Korea



“Ssangchu couple” SS501 Kim HyunJoong “was almost sold to China when he was with his previous company” and revealed anecdote of him prior to debut.

During the recent interview with IS, replying to the question “When is the time that you’ve gotten into a worst situation till date?”, he replied “I was partially forced to go to China, if I had went, I will not be able to do this interview now.”

He continued “Before being selected as a member of SS501, I was with a new set-up company as a member of a 5-member group. Even though we practiced, but it didn’t work out to debut. So one day, CEO gave us air tickets and said ‘It’s difficult and not possible to do it in Korea. Let’s go to China.’ And took away our hopes.”

At that time, the CEO of that company said that he is going to come up with a huge hanryu project group, but Kim HyunJoong and the other members found this “impossible” and firmly refused.

In the end, after fleeing from the team, Kim HyunJoong was introduced to go for DSP audition by a friend and became selected as one of the member of SS501.

Kim HyunJoong said “After quitting Senior High School, I worked as a waiter in a family restaurant at Jamsil and was introduced to that company’s CEO during that time. After coming to the mainsteam (music), I then realized what a shabby and nonsense company that was.”

He said “After debut, I coincidentally met that CEO at a broadcasting station. Even though I wanted to scold him, I quietly told him ‘Sajangnim (CEO), you should stop doing bad things now’ and left.”

In the upcoming appearance in KBS 2TV new drama “Boys over Flowers”, Kim HyunJoong stars the role of a young man with the luxury of even his own jet, he acts without any awkwardness.

ya..totally agree with you. she look's like mafia here..and she is so damn cooool~

where did you watch that episode?
i'm so curious now XD

omg. 2 members of wonder girls are going to be in the next episode:).

you can watch it in www.ahboo.wordpress.com.. it's with eng sub!!

If there is to be no additional couple once AlShin leaves, what r they planning to do coz :

1) HJ is off overseas filming
2) SDB is also going off overseas filming

If what they claimed that there will be no change and these 4 couples will remain, well that is a good sign if they insist on this coz :

1) JoongBo and Ant couple will be continuing
2) there is a high chance that both HB and Marco will travel to visit their respective partners
3) more development between HH and HYB (they r funny)
4) back to regular and hopefully more air-time for my fav. couple - JoongBo
