SS501 leader Kim HyunJoong has gained recognition as Hallyu star throughout Southeast Asia.

In ‘2009 Yahoo! Asia Buzz Awards’ held on 14-Dec in HongKong, he received his solo awards such as Asia Best Male Star award, Taiwan Netizen Choice Best Korean Star award, Korea Netizen Choice Best Male Star award, etc. Recently, he attended a variety show by Japan Fuji TV to be broadcasted as a New Year’s Special.

Out of the well-known Hallyu Stars in Japan, Kim HyunJoong is the only one who got invited by Fuji TV. Japan programs usually invites their own local artistes so it is exceptional that they invited an artiste from another country, i.e Kim HyunJoong. This also shows that Kim HyunJoong’s popularity in Japan is significant.

Not only that, in a recent survey done by Japan’s Hallyu Magazine shows Kim HyunJoong getting first place in drama actor and Hallyu star of next generation sections. Defeating stars who entered into the Japan scene earlier than Kim HyunJoong, such as Lee ByungHun, Ryu ShiWon, Kim Bum, Lee MinHo, etc. making the victory even more meaningful.

Kim HyunJoong’s popularity continues to spread to other Asia countries. He received invitations from Asia countries such as China, HongKong, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, etc, furthermore ‘Boys Over Flowers’ had been exported to over 10 Asia countries, leading the Hallyu wave. In the new year, SS501 will visit Thailand as part of their Asia Tour stop in January.

Even though Kim HyunJoong acted in romantic scenes with his unique sensitive acting which captured many females’ heart, he displays powerful masculine attractiveness and quintessence metro-sexual in SS501 performances.

Kim HyunJoong also generated the first syndrome this year in Korea with ‘Boys Over Flowers’, receiving the name of ‘Nation’s Sunbae’ and recognition rises rapidly, constantly involved in various fashion shows, dinner shows as well as large-scale and small-scale events.

As the new Asia’s Hallyu leader, there is a lot of attention on Kim HyunJoong to suppress Yon-sama.

Hi Jericho,
Seems like they are not in the list. But they are in PPLive website as the invited guest. I wonder how true it is?

Anyway, heard that Hunan TV used to have some secret guest (神秘嘉宾) every year wonder if SS501 is the secret guest then maybe that's the reason they are not advertise in all news. But I just don't understand why would any TV Station want to hide if they have invited a superstar. Since if you mentioned they are they guest, I think worldwide TS and Hyunnies will start tuning over!

Actually, I wish they are in Korea being the secret artist for any Korean channel but not anywhere else.... After all, being able to be at your own home ground, spending the time with people you love, it is much much much more enjoyable and meaningful.

Cld there be some screw up due to money or contract agreement problem? DSP may refused to let them perform for any cent less as was agreed? Dealing with the shrewed Chinese may be dif from the Koreans. Just guessing or else what's going on? The boys are lost or kidnapped in China?
Abt being on home ground or overseas, has it's pros n cons, very hard to say as regards to their career path, just dunno what DSP are planning.
