Today helped my friend to attend Hyun Joong's sign-meeting, Hyun Joong Oppa is really nice.

Did what the fans requested, really is a warm person. The sign-meeting went very slowly, Hyun Joong wrote the fans' names seriously and even chat with the fans. Helped my friend to tell him to hurry come to promote in China, everyone is anticipating. Hyun Joong lifted his head and said okay with a smile. He put down his pen and initiated to shake hand with me, really very considerate.

Fan Account of Mnet Comeback Stage

1) All kinds of fans

At the end, around 350 fans were allowed to enter the live recording. According to my observation, roughly 25% Korean fans, 35% Chinese fans, 30% Japanese fans, 10% Southeast Asian fans. Keyeast even brought a staff who speaks Japanese to the scene to help translate.

Mnet 's studio is small, much smaller than the other 3 stations. Only standing zone, no seats. So normally live broadcast can only hold around 200 fans. This means normal stages, without adjustments, can only hold a maximum of 200 fans. Will elaborate on this later.

Queue, write number and check name during this timing-11pm, 4am, 8.30am, 11.30am, 2pm.

On Hyun Joong fans' age range. Most are noona and mother fans. Other than those stars who have debuted for quite a while. The rest of their fans are 13-23 years old.

2) Special Treatment

M!Countdown made a big adjustment and allowed 300 fans in. 4 angle stage! From what I know, only Yamapi used a 4 angle stage on M!Countdown before.

For 'Please', only the second part was recorded with the fans which was what you saw on the 4 angle stage. Recorded twice. 'Let Me Go' seems to be a broadcast live but didn't see Oppa during the end of broadcast.
So maybe 'Let Me Go' was pre-recorded as well. Anyway 'Please' & 'Break Down', the change of outfit and the first part were pre-recorded. [Pre-recorded means without the fans as audience] The subbed cheering were as loud as ours.

3) Oppa
Once on stage, he was very serious. Didn't even have time to wave at us. Stand on position and listen to the PD's cue and prepared for recording. I think that he must be nervous. PD told us to scream even louder during the climax of 'Please' to fit the effects. So what you saw during the 'Boom Boom', the audience screamed out loud. During the 2nd recording, Cody unnie came to tidy his outfit, tucked his shirt into his pants. So the audience went crazy. Upon seeing the fans' reactions, Hyun Joong laughed.

Fans were cheering 'Kim Hyun Joong. Kim Hyun Joong'. Atmosphere was great! Then Hyun Joong bowed to all 4 sides of the side and left. Due to the age range, very few people there called him Oppa. Most called him Hyun Joong. Japanese fans called him Leader. Maybe because it's rare to hear people calling him Oppa three times in a row, he looked at me and we shared eye-contact with 2 seconds.

Kim Hyun Joong, daebak!

Break Down Lyrics [English Translations]

English Translation

If you want to regret, don't believe
And if you are hesitating, don't come near
Baby, I I I I Luv It
Baby, I I I I Luv It
I'm just not that kind of person who think it through
I I I I Luv it, Baby, I I I I Luv it

Baby,try to give it to me
You make it
Try to feel it a little more
Can you take it
Can you take it
Feel it
The falling rhythm So crazy
In this raging moment
Just break it, break it
Break it down, down down

Blazing Fantasy
That trembling gesture of yours
No No I I I I Luv it
Baby I I I I Luv it
Turn around through the wondering imaginations
I can't tolerate this ending feeling no more

Baby, try to give it to me
You make it
Try to feel it a little more
Can you take it
Can you take it
Feel it
The falling rhythm So crazy
In this raging moment
Just break it, break it
Break it down, down down
Try to give it to me
Baby baby come on now

It's like bungee jumping towards me
Rock your body
Take this moment
Work out your everything
Open up your heart
Try to write  my name inside that
I know you want it girl
I'm a give it to you girl

Through my unawakable dreams
I'll take you
To a new world every night
Stop hesitating and come to me
Let's break it down

Baby, try to give it to me
You make it
Try to feel me a little more
Can you take it
Can you take it
Feel it
The falling rhythm So crazy
In this raging moment
Just break it, break it
Break it down, down, down

Baby call out for my name
Break it down break it down
Break it down break it down
Can you take it
Try to feel me now
Yeah Break it down
Break it down Break it down
Break it down

Feel it The endless rhythm
So crazy
In this melting moment
Just break it, break it
Break it down, down, down

Reading the Letter & Crying Fancam

More on the Letter Hyun Joong Wrote

Source: Gelzone
Translation: khjgalaxy

'Today wanted to perform to let everyone see that this is Kim Hyun Joong. Through showcase, everyone can see the musical side of me, but my heart cannot fully express myself hence pluck up courage and prepared this letter.'' said Hyun Joong

Then Hyun Joong walked to the front of the stage and took out the letter and told the fans 'The content won't make you cry so don't cry'. He began 'Meet everyone for exactly 6 years. During this long period of time, everyone didn't change and believe and support this man called Kim Hyun Joong.'

He revealed 'At the same time while preparing the album, looking back at the road I had walked,even though it has not been very long. Being with me is really important, giving me protection. Having to do all the things alone. The burden built up, to overcome all these, is not an easy thing'


He said 'The past 1 year, saw many fans fought and misunderstood, I didn't said a word and only looked at this scenario, felt that actually I'm also a helpless person.'

Controlling his tears, he continued reading 'But hope that when everyone watch and listen to my album and feel blessed. From today onwards, hope that everyone shall smile more and be more blessed. Not mine but everyone's album. Today want to tell everyone here from the bottom of my heart thank you, I love you all. Thank you so much. I love you all.' His tears with the fans' worried cheers dropped at the same time.

Kim Hyun Joong was reading letter to the fans when he was overwhelmed by pain and cried.

Kim Hyun Joong was holding a showcase for his first mini-album on June 7th.

When the showcase was about to end, Kim Hyun Joong said 'Because it's diffcult to express myself'' and took out the letter that he personally wrote.

Kim Hyun Joong said 'It has been 6 years. Really thankful to those who believe and support me till today. Last year, because of misunderstandings, fans fought with each other', he could not control himself and cried.

'I could only watched all this silently, felt that I could not do anything to solve it' and 'I worked on my album with the thought that everyone will be happy. So from today onwards, everyone must be happy.' he said with his eyes turning red.

'I will like to express gratefulness and love to the fans who came' he said and left with his head down eyes tearing. His first showcase after going solo expresses the anguish he hid during the past year.

Reading the letter that you personally wrote for the fans, you choked a few times.
Your eyes were red numerous times.
You said you always wanted to showcase Kim Hyun Joong to everyone.
You said you want to keep smiling as you continue walking the rest of the journey.

You didn't even swipe away your sweat, focusing on the stage below. At the moment, no one beside you noticed that a fan has fainted, your facial expression became very anxious. Even after the staff carried the fan away, your worry did not leave you. Because of you, (I) 'm very touched today.
