'Boys Over Flowers' Kim Hyun Joong and Jung Ho Bin show off their close friendship

 

Kim Hyun Joong and Jung Ho Bin made K-drama fans' day with their display of friendship on the set of 'Generation of Youth'!

 

Although it's been five years since Kim Hyun Joong and Jung Ho Bin starred in the unforgettable drama 'Boys Over Flowers', the pair still seemed close, making fans smile with their 'Friend 2' parody on set alongside co-star Choi Il Hwa. Kim Hyun Joong and Jung Ho Bin are reuniting for their upcoming KBS 2TV drama 'Generation of Youth', and fans were unable to notice the actors' 17-year age gap with their cute friendship.

 

A rep commented, "The symbiotic effect of the sunbae-hoobae actors' good teamwork is creating a fun atmosphere on set. Although Choi Il Hwa, Jung Ho Bin, and Kim Hyun Joong showed their cute charms behind the scenes, once the cameras started rolling, they were overwhelming with charisma."

Kim Hyun Joong shows off his fighter figure in shirtless still cuts for 'Generation of Youth'

 

Kim Hyun Joong looked almost 'unbreakable' with his hardcore abs for KBS 2TV's 'Generation of Youth' !

 

Kim Hyun Joong didn't need a stunt man for the action scenes with his fighter figure and determination and went shirtless to show off the fruits of his labor.

 

He shared, "At first, I tried to make the most sculpted body I could but as I thought about it, I realized there was no exercise equipment and protein supplements in the 1930s that we have today. That is why I just stuck to eating meat and vegetables and made a healthy body in a realistic way. So although you may think 'it's not that great of a body' as you watch my scenes, I hope you will keep in mind that I toned my body in consideration for the generation of the drama."

 

"For 'Generation of Youth', rather than using a lot of wire-like special equipment for the action scenes, we used our own bodies to clash with one another to fight. As much as my bruises increase after each filming, I think you will be able to feel the realistic action of the 1930s."

Kim Hyun Joong reveals he's very different from his tough 'Generation of Youth' character

 

 

Kim Hyun Joong revealed he's a lover not a fighter, different from his character on 'Generation of Youth'.

 

During the press conference for the drama, 'Entertainment Relay' met up with the handsome actors backstage and asked, "You are all known as manly men. Is there something that you're afraid of?" Kim Hyun Joong shared, "What am I scared of? I think I am scared of people who tell you to join something. I was pressured into joining a few things."

 

When asked, "Among the three of you, who do you think would be the most difficult to face-off with?" Kim Hyun Joong shared, "I think the person that is the scariest is our martial arts director. He really loves [being] real. He talks about consideration a lot. He always says, 'You have to really hit [someone] to be considerate of them. Because we can finish quicker that way.'"

 

During the 'OX' game, in response to the question, "To be honest, I fight better with words than with fists." Kim Hyun Joong raised an 'X' and shared, "Not long ago, at a bar, I was drinking when a drunk person threw soju at me saying it was because I was sitting next to him. But there was nothing for me to do. So I just paid for his table," showing his polite manners.

Kim Hyun Joong is sexy in black in unreleased photos from 'The Star' pictorial

 

Kim Hyun Joong gave us another look at his sculpted abs as well as his handsome face in previously unreleased photos from his photoshoot with 'The Star'!

 

Kim Hyun Joong looked too hot to handle in black with a peek at his swoon-worthy abs which he's been diligently maintaining for his role as a fighter on 'Generation of Youth'. The black fur also added flair to the otherwise neutral pictorial and his serious expressions showcased his maturing acting skills.

 

During the shoot he opened about playing his character Shin Jung Tae in his upcoming drama as he shared, "Although I know the feeling of pure love, it is not easy to portray it... But I am having fun fighting. But I feel more at ease when I'm on the receiving end of the attacks rather than when I'm the one giving out the punches."

Hi, didn't see any Jung Min thread so might as well post here. 

Has anyone listened to Jung Min's Japanese album Midnight Theatre? (His stage name is Romeo)

I absolutely love it. It's currently my most listened to album with over 1000 plays and I really don't see any album topping it. It's rare that I listen to an album that I like all the songs the same way.  I own the A version. Being a Japanese album it did cost a lot but it is well worth it. The dvd that came with it was cool too. Shame it is only performances of about 1/3 of the album, but good to watch anyways.

 

So anyone else really love this album?

Kim Hyun Joong diligently studies the script for starring drama 'Generation of Youth'

 

Heartthrob Kim Hyun Joong, who has made his return as an actor to the small screen, was spotted diligently studying his script in the BTS cut released by KBS 2TV drama 'Generation of Youth'. 

 

He seems completely immersed, even plugging in ear buds to block out surrounding noise and increase concentration. Judging by the stage makeup and the faux injuries he has on his face, it appears as though he is waiting for his next scene.

 

A rep said, "Even though we film throughout the night continuously day after day and he needs to do many action scenes, Kim Hyun Joong remains absorbed in acting and does not waver, which is why the staff on set always talk about him in complimentary tones."

 

How have you been liking 'Generation of Youth' so far?

Kim Hyun Joong talks about the hard work that staff do during drama filming

 

Kim Hyun Joong talked about the improvement of labor for his drama staff.

 

On the 2nd, KBS 2TV's 'Documentary 3 Days' aired a special video about the BTS of 'Generation of Youth'. The documentary showed the staff working day and night without even a moment of rest.

 

During the interview, Kim Hyun Joong said, "If a drama becomes a hit, the actors get everything in profit. To be honest, the staff doesn't have any other reward. All they get is the satisfaction that they participated in the drama."  

 

He added, "Even though the environment isn't improving at all, all the staff work even harder to make a better drama on another level."

So Yi Hyun and Kim Hyung Jun's reps deny dating rumor

 

 

Although it was reported that Kim Hyung Jun and So Yi Hyun were dating, both agencies have stepped out to deny such claims on March 3.  However, there appeared to have been some confusion as to the facts and maybe some miscommunication.

 

A high-ranking representative of Kim Hyung Jun's agency S-Plus Entertainment told Sports Seoul that the two had indeed dated after getting close through the drama 'Sunshine Girl.'  During their relationship, they had broken up once and gotten back together, but the rep admitted to not knowing the exact details at the moment. However, after the reports went out, the same rep said that they had broken up just a few days before because it was hard on Kim Hyung Jun every weekend. 

 

So Yi Hyun's agency Key East Entertainment told My Daily on March 3, "We heard that they were friendly while appearing together on KBS drama 'Sunshine Girl.'  Even now, the two are close colleagues, but So Yi Hyun is not dating anyone right now."

 

Kim Hyung Jun's agency S-Plus Entertainment also told My Daily, "It is true he was close to So Yi Hyun, but they did not meet each other on intimate terms or date.  It was said that the two had previously broken up and then started dating again, but we've confirmed that this was false.  Both Kim Hyung Jun and So Yi Hyun have animated personalities so they actively maintained their friendship, and that is all."

 

The previous S-Plus Entertainment rep also told Sports Seoul, "Because Kim Hyung Jun's party did not talk about their positions with So Yi Hyun's party, it appears his side felt burdened by acknowledging the dating rumor.  I think So Yi Hyun's' side strongly raised objections against Kim Hyung Jun's side.

 

So Yi Hyun's agency called us and created a fuss.  There were stuff that I said so I can't deny anything, but since it's awkward right now, I will just say they never dated for now."

 

As you can see, things are still a bit fuzzy and unclear at the moment, but it appears both agencies have denied the dating rumor at the moment.

Kim Hyun Joong jokes with co-star Lim Soo Hyang for looking older than she is

 

 

Kim Hyun Joong revealed himself to be a jokester on the set of 'Generation of Youth' and revealed that his co-star Lim Soo Hyang is actually younger than she looks! 

 

 

'Entertainment Relay' met up with the cast and asked Kim Hyun Joong and Lim Soo Hyang who were waiting to film their scene, "Gaya is Jung Tae's first love." Lim Soo Hyang jokingly felt betrayed by Kim Hyun Joong who falls in love with Jin Se Yeon in the drama and told him, "Am I your first love? You cheated on me." 

 

She then expressed her jealousy on Jung Tae and Ok Ryun (Jin Se Yeon)'s kiss scene, "I'm jealous. Do you like it since you get to do it with a young kid?" Kim Hyun Joong revealed, "Soo Hyang has a 'no ahn' [looking older than you are] image. But Soo Hyang and Se Yeon don't have much of an age gap." Soo Hyang shared, "We're four years apart." Kim Hyun Joong continued on the old jokes, "But appearance-wise, she is on the level of an aunt?", making Lim Soo Hyang playfully kick him.

 

Can you believe Lim Soo Hyang is only 23 years old (international age)?
