Hyun Joong, who has just recently wrapped up his second drama 'Playful Kiss', has definitely been in the media spotlight. The drama did not garner high ratings in terms of viewership, but was a hit online, and the YouTube editions of the drama drew in over 8 million hits.
When asked about his feelings towards the dismally low ratings that the drama received, he was rather positive in his answer as he stated that he was not all that bothered about the numbers. What mattered to him was the experience and lessons that he learnt from the drama. He realized that it wasn't easy to become a leading actor in a drama, and that although high ratings would have been great, he wasn't going to dwell on it as Playful Kiss was a drama that he held dear to him and was a project that he was proud of.
He also stated that while he was happy with his choice of dramas, he would prefer to not take on any roles such as that of Yoon Ji Hoo and Baek Seung Jo as they were too romantic for him. He also said that he would like to take on more beefy roles that would see him in a tougher light.
Hyun Joong also discussed his future, as he mentioned that he had to work his way upwards now, and assert himself as an established actor. As Hyun Joong will be the ripe age of 26 next year, he stated that it won't be long before he will be called to serve in the army, and after that he will have to return to the movie industry and continue to strengthen his foothold in the industry.
Considering such circumstances, he decided that he would not think of marriage anytime soon. Any talk of marriage would have to take place at least 10 years from now. While he had initially hoped to tie the knot before he turned 30, he now knows that it was almost impossible for him to do so as he neither has the time nor a partner in his life at the moment, hence his marriage plans will probably only happen when he is about 40.
Hyun Joong will be working on more overseas activities as well as album recording activities in the first half of 2011.

following the footsteps of his new boss- BYJ. Guess FAME won over Love
Sigh....He would rather be Famous compared to Love???
Sigh....
I think he'll realize soon enough why initially he had wanted to be married by 30.
He might have just said that to throw reporters off, so they'll stop bugging with the same questions about marriage. Or maybe he was told by the new company to say something to this effect, so he won't loose more fans, like what happened when he signed on with the new company last summer. Who knows, his 4Dness throws me off most times, lol.
He may have lost some Triple S when he signed on with KeyEast but he gained new fans who are purely KHJ fans who don't even know about SS501 (yet). They will only discover about SS501 as they get to know him. He is taking a different path now in his career but I am sure if and when he finds true love, he will go for it.
He also said that if he just happened to meet someone before then he will just go ahead and marry hahahaha Anyway I think marriage with kcelebs is something that they have to slowly and thoughtfully approach (even more so then regular people) Even the really famous couples had a difficult time.
I would love to see him in a spy drama, or even playing the role of a baddie like that of an assassin...?
I remember being amazed at his portrayal of the hitman in the SS501 Solo special videos (the one where he catches JungMin's lover/fiancée?)~~~ IMHO he was so captivating in that role! Though it was a rather short video, it made me go WHOA. Like I felt he embodied the character so well - in his gazes, action, gestures~~~ And in that suave manner... *sighs~
Anyways, I wish he would get roles he would enjoy doing. Fighting, uri HJL!
I would love to see him in such genre of drama also..
well, actually i was not really enjoy 'Playful Kiss'.
because for me, he still looks awkward in the drama..
hmmmm...
Sweet potato..I dun even watch the full episode of PK coz I dun feel RIGHT chemistry but I already LURKED into some of the previews...It just didnt excite me that much..Maybe I'll watch it much much later....
