►►[VID] Gummy releases ‘As a Man’ MV with Kim Hyun Joong and Jung Ryeo Won
Gummy is coming back strong as she releases her second MV for her new “Loveless” mini-album. Definitely have to say, there is a lot of love here in this new MV.
The “As A Man” MV follows the very compatible Kim Hyun-joong and Jung Ryeo-won as their relationship starts, develops, and grows all in a very cute and quite realistic manner.
The romance is very simple and begins with the drama cliche of being unintentionally forced to live together, but Kim Hyun-joong and Jung Ryeo-won’s chemistry is very believable, and their acting is quite endearing. ”As A Man” MV is a good illustration of that point in the relationship when someone may feel smothered and takes the love for granted.
No need to comment on Gummy’s vocals. The song speaks for itself.

Fans fell into the trap of April Fool lies that SS501 had came up with on April Fools’ Day.
On the 1st on their official homepage, Kim Hyun Joong has written, “On Wednesday, the 7th, I’d be going to Spain to study abroad. I have many headache problems on mind, after I sort out my thoughts for abit, I’d return”, revealing this. To this, “We are supposed to release the 501 album, but we have not even recorded for any single song, and not even a song has been produced, now my mind is in a painful state. Seems like we’re not able to keep to the promise of releasing album on May 1. Sorry” was also written. Again, “Don’t find it too puzzling to this choice, keep supporting like you’d always done so right until now. Sincerely. Without regrets to my choice, believe in it that way. Writing my final piece in the homepage” was been written in such a way.
Indeed, Heo YoungSaeng also wrote a piece with the title “Sorry” on the 1st. He wrote, “May 1 is the 501 day by right, we promised to bring about a good album and show to you all, but now, it seems like we can’t keep to that promise anymore. 5 of us are forever as one, shout it out loud like that, not something that couldn’t be stopped about. 5 years have flowed by like this, time really flies, there were really many matters which happened, lots of pleasant memories as well, those moments when we laughed, and cried together, certainly, I’d not be able to forget that in my life. I love you, and I am sorry”, which surprised the fans. However, at the end of the piece, “Today is April fools’ day? Gotcha! Sorry~” was told, after which he went into the Tok room and left this “it is an April Fool’s play”, which further proved his joke to be effective after successfully pulling off the trick.

►►SS501’s Kim Hyun Joong would rather eat pork intestines than steak
haha leader Hyun Joong is so Asian ^^
Big eyes, high nose, broad should and also tall build, just like walking out from romance comic, this person is SS501’s leader Kim Hyun Joong. Kim Hyun Joong is a singer cum actor who has various type of charms.
Having different charm from an extreme to another extreme, his diet choice is entirely different from his look. Judging from his outlook, he looked like one that love to frequent high class western restaurant, drinking red wine and love to eat steak, but actually it differs. Kim Hyun Joong love to eat spicy food and like south Korean food that has the original native taste.
Kim Hyun Joong particularly love gopchang* (*intestine of cattle/pork). Occasionally he will wear sports outfit and went to roadside stall together with his friends or manager. Kim Hyun Joong is not only popular in Korea and having high popularity in oversea, most of the place he goes to will have a lot of people group over to request for his autograph, but he do not worried that this will spoil the atmosphere and become awkward, because most of the places he went to were not known to most.
Kim Hyun Joong can drink 3 to 4 bottles of soju (korean liquor). Eating gopchang* and chicken gizzard together with a cup of soju in roadside stall is most delicious. Kim Hyun Joong do not have special toasting cheer. After drinking too much and when he is slightly drunk, Kim Hyun Joong will smile more than usual. Kim Hyun Joong and gopchang* and roadside stall, definitely extraordinary and full of charm.
