KyuJong & YoungSaeng’s new story, begin now

Although their schedule is tight, YoungSaeng and KyuJong whom we haven’t met since a long time ago still looking full of vigor, full of vitality as compare to previous. They met with TRENDY in HongKong, conducted an intimate conversation, lets hear what secret they have revealed…….

Visiting Hong Kong because of their fan meeting, although only for a quick stay of 2 nights, TRENDY still tried hard to get their exclusive interview, to quence Taiwan pea princesses missing towards them.

Since meeting both of them during the Seoul Encore Concert till now, it is almost 1 year, didn’t expected their changes are so big! Pea princesses please put on your 120 hearts (*means to not worry), the changes happened on them are not any bad things that will make your heart break, but growing up and transforming very naturally. Now, temporary bear the urge to shriek, follow TRENDY to fly to Hong Kong, to date with YoungSaeng and KyuJong!

Everywhere they reach cause commotion, fans following closely

For the date this round, TRENDY even not care about the crazy discounts in Hong Kong stores, rushed early to the ‘dating site’, the newly opened Tsim Sha Tsui Hyatt Regency Hong Kong. Just stepping into the glamourously decorate hotel, started to feel a little strange — why was the quiet and classy 5 stars hotel, turned into a rowdy and busty street? Actually peas princesses from various countries have received information earlier, and grouped around fully equipped with camera waiting at the hall, hoping to have a chance to meet both of them whom they haven’t met for a long time. Not only pea princesses are missing both of them, the media that came along, also made both of their schedule during their visit in Hong Kong fully booked….. TRENDY is one of the little media that has a chance for exculsive interview, for the sake of the pea princesses, of course TRENDY will go all out!

At this time, their staff came over to apologize, saying that the schedule might be later than their original schedule timing, hoping that we will wait patiently. Of course we don’t mind, but due to curiousity, we still enquired about the situation. Actually, due to the whole day tight schedule plus tiredness due to travelling around, KyuJong was a little exhausted, therefore lengthen their resting time (They arrived by the noon flight on that day) — after listening really felt heart pain! Nevermind, after resting awhile then would be more vigourous, we don’t mind to wait! But TRENDY also don’t waste time, using the free time to chat with their staff, their staff mentioned about the situation at airport previously, at the arrival hall of Chek Lap Kok Airport (*former name of Hong Kong International Airport), it was fully packed with fans welcoming them, after YoungSaeng & KyuJong exit from the restricted area, it had caused some commotion, someone even fell down accidentally, causing them to worry, luckily none of them were hurt. After YoungSaeng & KyuJong greeted their fans, they went straight to their hotel to rest.

YoungSaeng charming and stylish, KyuJong flowery like beauty boy

After delay for around 1 hour, we were told that we could prepare for our interview; there were not any impatience, but happiness to meet soon. After getting everything ready, YoungSaeng & KyuJong finally appear infront of our eyes, and greeted TRENDY friendily! YoungSaeng had slimmed down, his face became slimmer, and his body seemed more fit (seemed like he went for fitness training). He was still as calm and steady as usual, but became more and more manly, looked very stylish. KyuJong who is usually shy is even more charming until shine, although still wearing a little shy and light smile, but have even more confidence and ‘electrified’ eye sight.

They are very polite and understanding, greeted their Taiwan fans first, expressing that they miss everybody; even said, if there’s a chance, will definitely visit Taiwan immediately, hope everybody wait patiently and bear with them.

Other their fans, still miss what in Taiwan? “Taipei 101!” YoungSaeng let KyuJong answered first, “Actually, on the wall of my room, there’s a Taipei 101 postcard, everytime when looking at it I felt that it is very beautiful, of course also hope to revisit it soon. Actually other than Taipei 101, there’s also a lot of places which I wish to go, whether to tour in Taiwan or to go for promotion, to open a concert also can — If there’s invitation!”

Listening to what he said, TRENDY immediately told him, there’s a lot of people who wish to invite them to tour in Taiwan! YoungSaeng said, going to Taiwan is mostly for work, didn’t have time to go around, in future if there’s time he will visit Taiwan personally, “I think will definitely see beautiful sceneries which will make me unforgetable and missed!” YoungSaeng said.

Both relationship very close, sharing secrets ear to ear

Actually, before they started ‘KyuJong & YoungSaeng AND Story’ series of activities, they had a good long holiday, touring America together, leaving quite some interesting memories. “We drove from Los Angeles to La Vegas.” KyuJong said, “Was thinking before departure, the sceneries along the way must be very beautiful and fun? Who knew it was mostly desert, and had nothing around, the weather was extremely hot, it was very tiring and hard to drive, guess it is better to take a plane next time!”

YoungSaeng seemed to have bad memories: “When in La Vegas, we went to tour in their tallest building, I remembered it has 108 levels (KyuJong was noding beside), there’s a viewing point at the top level, the floor is completely made by glass, stepping on top felt like stepping on sky, very unreal, you could see the land from high floor directly. A lot of people were doing bunjee jumping over there, seems like mostly were girls, so brave!” During the interview, often KyuJong would whispered or smiled looking into YoungSaeng’s eyes, seem like there’s something seeking for YoungSaeng approval and help, also like trying to sharing something with YoungSaeng. From this, could see that both of them understand each others very well and their relationship remain very close.

KyuJong also wish to challenge in acting, but he is more ‘picky’ than YoungSaeng, He most wish to act in romatic love story – heard that he is currently actively making preparation.

Actually, we really wish to see the look of KyuJong in a romance! Just imagine, the Pisces KyuJong should be extremely romantic and gentle during a love relationship, loving, understand and meticulous, his girl friend must be full of happiness! As for the Scorpion YoungSaeng, comparing to KyuJong, should be more ‘autocratic’ type of boyfriend, but he will also treat his girl friend lovingily like a princess.

It is a pity that both of them are still single, wondering what kind of arrangement they will make for Valentine’s Day? “I most wish to open a concert on Valentine’s Day, and spend it together with fans.” YoungSaeng revealed. “This wish has not been able to fulfill all the time as we couldn’t fit in the schedule previously. Now that SS501 is in solo stage, I guess should be able to make arrangement, if able to present a completely new image and spend time together with fans during Valentine, it will be very meaningful.”

KyuJong immediately continued: “Then I will just participate in YoungSaeng hyung’s concert (smiling secretly). Valentine Day is a romantic and beautiful day, so I will prepare few hundreds of romantic and beautiful song, using them as present to fans.”

Nurturing each other strength, even more powerful when group together

Since we have touched on SS501 solo activities, we really like to know their current feelings, whether they will feel lonely?

“Although going apart when working, but privately all of us still keep in contact.” KyuJong said, “Last time when working together, I always thought that I didn’t do well in a lot of things, felt very sorry to the other members, now I have to work even harder, to improve myself.”

YoungSaeng said, he didn’t think so much, “To me, whether 5 of us being together or alone, just have to continue to work hard, to do my best. I wish each of us will be able to have even better result. In future, one of the days, when SS501 group together again, will become a group which has ability and strength.”

No matter SS501 will meet with everybody in any form, they will definitely be able to fulfill the pea princesses. This could be seen in places that they have went. In future, everybody will be be more anticipate to see SS501 of a different look.

Hot sun that are able to chase away the cold winter, only ‘KyuJong & YoungSaeng’!

Although it was only a fan meeting, the event was also crowded and bustling,

YoungSaeng and KyuJong giving their best performance, accompanying everybody for a most unforgettable night. TRENDY bring you into the event now!

‘KyuJong & YoungSaeng’ Hong Kong fan meeting Live Telecast

Hong Kong which is located at more southern hemisphere than Taiwan, seldom met with such cool winter, day room temperature was not even 10 degrees. However, the AsiaWorld Expo which is at the final stop of the Airport Express Line, the evening of 8 January was really fill with warmth, the busy  and bustling atmosphere has chased away the cold winter. Having charms as hot as the sun, were SS501′s Heo YoungSaeng and Kim KyuJong. Both of them started their ‘KyuJong & YoungSaeng AND Story’ Fan Meeting Asia Tour since last year, Hong Kong was the 3rd stop after Seoul and Bangkok.

After much cheering, ‘KyuJong & YoungSaeng’ went on stage

Although it was just a fan meeting, but the fans’ formation and anticipation, have no difference from an actual concert, their passion had never reduced; All kinds of placards, light sticks, posters, flower stands, gifts and etc.. all came fully equipped (of course also the excited screams), coming excitedly just to meet ‘KyuJong & YoungSaeng’, having close contact with their idols. TRENDY heard a lot of different languages during the event, other than Cantonese, there were also Korean, Japanese, Beijing accent, Shanghai accent, Taiwan accent was not absent too, just like an Asia International Festival.

The biggest difference between Fan meeting and Concert, is there are a lot of time to chat, therefore there will be a host throughout the event, as connecting medium. The lights at seating area were gradually dimmed, stage lights suddenly turned on together with music, KyuJong who was wearing a black fitted suit and YoungSaeng who was wearing black short sleeve T-shirt, with matching long jacket, finally appeared on stage accompanying with unending screams, started the event with ‘Because I am stupid’.

After finished performing, YoungSaeng showed a looked like he can’t hear the claps, the host was also playing along and said: “The responses seemed to be not hot enough!” Fan under stage worked even harder to clap and scream, then YoungSaeng showed his super cute smile. Following that KyuJong used Cantonese to greet everybody, even spoke with perfect pronunciation in full sentence “Hope everybody will like”, causing another round of even more passionate cheer. YoungSaeng also ‘can’t loose out’ and expressed, there were a lot of charming guys and beautiful girls, and also he really missed Hong Kong, and very miss Hong Kong style milk tea, causing the fans to laugh.

After finished introduction, the host started to ask about ‘official things’: Both of their new plans. YoungSaeng will release his new solo album on February (Started production since February 2010)! KyuJong is currently making preparation for drama acting, both made everybody full of anticipation.

Strong beat song and hot dance throughout, just like a Mini Concert

The host suddenly changed topic, requesting YoungSaeng who loves taking selca to give a demonstration personally. Can’t defeat everybody’s constant urged, YoungSaeng agreed to it shyly. Who knew once going into ‘Selca mode’, YoungSaeng’s shyness immediately disappeared, his attitude turned to be more professional and confident, on the other hand KyuJong was watching at a side interestingly.

First was YoungSaeng’s ‘Classic’ selca post – Holding the camera higher than head to shot the upper area, then he used his hand to cover half of his face, shot a ‘small face selca’. Lastly he lift up his neck, the angle from lower to top shooting the side of the face, smoothly performed ‘YoungSaeng 3 steps selca’.

At this time, the host ‘interrogated’ YoungSaeng, wanted to probe whether KyuJong had any kind of ‘bad habit’ like selca. YoungSaeng slanted his head to a side and thought for a while, then replied no, then KyuJong escaped being ‘tortured’. Seemed like YoungSaeng was really taking care of KyuJong this brother!

Then next item, strong beat song and hot dance including interesting interview. Both of them duet ‘Wings of the World’; Solo portion, YoungSaeng song list were ‘I Love You, I am sorry’ and ‘Love Like This’, while KyuJong performed his must-sing song ‘Wuss Up’ and ‘Never Let You Go’, beautiful songs which were very familiar to fans, and they were able to sing-along.

Although it was not a big scale concert, ‘KyuJong & YoungSaeng’ were very serious and professional, fans were mesmerized by their performance. Other than that, altogether they had changed 3 sets of costume – YoungSaeng even wore a leopard stripe jacket, and behind his back there’s a fox tail like accessory, very fashionable!

Interesting and sensational on stage, mesmerizing audience under stage

During the 90 over minutes fan meeting, there were no boring moment, the program were arranged closely and interesting, in between including 3 parts of special program which were very special, giving everybody strong impression, could seen their hard work. Once of the special program is cooking show. YoungSaeng and KyuJong rolled up their sleeve, personally cooked on stage. Although due to the facilities on stage, only can make some simple toast and Hong Kong style Yuan Yang Milk Tea* (*A kind of milk tea which is made by mixture of equal portion of coffee and milk tea), but both of them were very serious and their expressions were very charming! While cooking, KyuJong said, his cooking skills are better, spicy fried chicken soy soup and Kimchi soup etc dishes are nothing for him, too pity he is too lazy now, seldom cooked himself. YoungSaeng immediately ‘rebute’ and said, actually the number of times he cooked were more than KyuJong, and mostly was he cooked for KyuJong!

The host immediately picked 3 lucky pea princesses on stage to be judges. In order to increase their votes, both of them even personally fed these 3 lucky fans, making many under stage envy! The final result was 2 to 1, KyuJong won! YoungSaeng originally don’t admit defeat, until KyuJong fed him one mouthful, after biting then he admitted defeat, actually KyuJong’s was more delicious.

Special program 2, was showing short video of their USA trip which both of them personally filmed, edited and adding in backgroud music. Because they were in USA, they could temporary put down their idol ‘burden’, relax and strolling by the street, feasting and drinking, enjoying a wonderful time that were hard to come by. The video clip which was around 10mins, was full of their happy looks,  felt a little not willing after watching – actually being a popular public character is really not easy, other than having exceptional skills, must even forgo a lot of rights which are naturally normal for us. Luckily they have all their fans who always follow and don’t forget them, supporting them all the way until today.

Special program 3, was Pea princesses video clips, mainly were short clips related to SS501. The organizer specially picked 3 video from the many submissions to broadcast, every video was interesting and cute, totally showed their support to their idol. YoungSaeng and Kyuong were very touched, KyuJong that was easily cried, almost dropped his tears. In order to thank fans for their effort, they prepared some small gifts – inside them were hand lotion, so both of them helped their fans to apply!

Lastly, YoungSaeng gave his speech, thanking everybody for their passionate participation, and hope everybody will continue to support SS501, wished to meet soon! TRENDY also hope ‘KyuJong & YoungSaeng’ quickly hold your fan meeting in Taiwan!
