Little Paradise

Come back again, just don't lie to me
don't leave, even if you can't say those words
I may be a fool but, I cannot keep waiting for you
yet to say goodbye to you is something i could never do

please, do not go far away
please, do not go far away
where I can't find you
do not go so far away
do not go so far away
Please don't leave me
don't leave
make a promise to me, I beg you....

Even if you are far from where I am
If you should leave, you musn't tell me
translation by genesisat soompi
I may be a fool but, I will not forget you
Your back turned is something I will never want to see

please, do not go far away
please, do not go far away
where I can't find you
do not go so far away
do not go so far away

It can't happen like this
It can't be
come back to me please!

To me please...

I beg of you...
don't leave, don't leave...

promise to me....
please...

Since debut, this is SS501's first visit to Malaysia. PJM says, Malaysians makes us feel comfortable and they are very warm hearted. As the members first went to Kota Kinabalu, Leader KHJ saw monkeys in the wild, the feeling is really magical. ( harus bagi Hj seko monyet citenye... )

When the host asked SS501 which member loves to eat, everyone unanimously pointed at YS, thus making YS wide eyed asking "is it me?". He explains that Malaysian food are very interesting, he loves it, will try even more (in the future). (SKY: SILA MASAK UTK YS!!!!!)

YS feels that Malaysia is a country that allows one to feel relax and happy, even though it was due to work that they came to Malaysia, he hopes to come to Malaysia for a proper holiday the next time (u r sooooo welcome!!please please comeback.nak menetap kat sini pun takpe!). Hyung Jun humbly thanks everyone who came to support and hopes to be able to hold a concert in Malaysia soon!

What made SS501 Malaysians excited, was that while SS501 was making an official announcement of the concert, they revealed that they may be singing more songs, as by then their new album would have been released! (YAAAAAYY!!)Thus adding more songs in the concert!

Hyung Jun was constantly "nominated" to be most different off the screen. Everyone explains that Hyung Jun is always full of smiles in front of the camera, he would also act cute to gain attention. However, away from the camera, he would become lethargic, smiles would disappear! Having other member exposed his "secret", Hyung Jun denies it and even finds it funny!

SS501 members were asked which was their favourite song in the album, PJM says its "Only Me",because he wrote the lyrics to this song and the lyrics are related to his experiences. After which, he even spoke in malay "terima kasih" (thank you)!

KyuJong, who is slowly gaining more popularity and looks even more charming in real life (he is!), explains that his favourite track off the album was "Never let you go", because he feels that the song is great. Besides writing the lyrics to this song, he was even involved in the productions!

As always, Leader KHJ way of speaking and mannerism is no different from before, he states that his favourite song in the album is "Thank You" (i LOVE that song tooooo!!!), and even translates the title to the three words "xie xie ni" in mandarin! Because to him the song means alot and has deep significance to him.

The very shy and reserve YS, reveals that his favourite is "Find" from the Best Hits album, because he has never tried this style of music.

Hyung Jun states that in fact every song is very nice! But if he has to make a choice, he would choose "I am"! Just that, the host asked Hyung Jun to sing this song on the spot, with encouragement from the crowd, Hyung Jun fulfills the "crowd's" request and sang a small part of the song! After which, everyone applauded, making him feel happy and embarrassed!

SS501 members' good relationship can be observed through their interactions during the event. They occasionally whisper to one another in the ear and even often communicate through eye contact. There was once when the host asked a question, PJM immediately passed the mic to Kyu Jong, thus leaving him almost flustered!

SS501 members were given traditional Malay musical instruments. Momentarily, they turned into 5 little big kids, playing with the instruments and listening to the natural sounds that they have never heard before! ( apa kata, masuk elemen muzik malaysia dlm album ss501 satu masa nnt?)

Charisma PJM, came to Malaysia in this "doll" hairstyle. Wearing a hat, his straight bangs, his big round eyes and fantastic smile, gives off an aura of full marks! While the other members are talking, PJM can be spotted occasionally pouting, thus turning his face into a meatbun, its really very cute!

As leader, KHJ seems to be keeping a lower profile, even though most of the questions answered by the other members, when faced with a "tough question" (slightly more serious questions) Leader KHJ would immediately take over and answer the question. With regards to the question about DBSK, as good friends with them, Leader KHJ immediately steps out to defend them. He explains that the rumors of DBSK, and states that SS501 is of a different group genre, and each groups are special in their own ways. He hopes that everyone would continue to give support to Korean groups and love their music. This shows the close relationship between DBSK and SS501!

0-4 yrs old, as long as Hyun Joong was lost in the park, it must be because he ran to the singer performance stage.

Since Hyun Joong was born, he was very popular among the neighbours because of his big eyes, sharp intuition and cleverness.
One day, in my dream, all in a sudden, I dream of a truck fully loaded with radish driving passed me. There was a huge radish which was of the size of the truck. Withing my apron on, I ran after the truck, trying to catch the big radish. The radish rolled into my apron and I fell down onto the floor. This was the largest radish I had ever seen in my entire life. I was very surprised. Just when I tried to lift up the radish to take a look, I woke up from my dream. I felt very strange: "Is this a sign that I am pregnant?" Therefore, I went to the hospital for checkup. The doctor told me: "Congratulations!". Indeed, I was pregnant!

Hyun Joong started to walk when he was 9 month old. Before this, although he can sit alone, he couldn't climb, the family members were worried that he might be slow to learn walking. However, he omitted the climbing stage and advanced to the walking stage. All the family members were shocked.



During his 1 year old birthday, he would offer his birthday steam rice cake for the guests to eat. During the Toljabee* event, in order to let him choose the pencil and book, the family members purposely placed both items right in front of him, instead, he chose the brush which was placed beside those items. Hyun Joong started speaking and counting very fast, but he was most interested to sing, dance and play games.

(*Note: Toljabee event is used to predict the child's future. In this case, Hyun Joong picked the brush which symbolizes that he will become a scholar.)



Since being newly wed up to now, our family has been living nearby the SongpaGu Olympic park. Every weekend, there would be a lot of singers performing there. When bringing Hyun Joong and his elder brother who is 1 year older than him to the park for a stroll, both children would be very happy.

Hyun Joong even got lost a few times, I panicked and searched all over the park, eventually he was always found at the stage where the singers were performing.

Once, the dance group "Seo Tai-ji and boys" were singing 'I Know' in the park, Hyun Joong actually ran up to the stage to dance. He even played games with the other singers on stage and laughed happily. Hyun Joong was excellent in his studies, it had never come to my mind that he will become an artist. However now that I started to think, he seems to be different from other kids since childhood.

Kim Hyun Joong excelled in studies when young, had never thought of being a star



5 - 9 years old, childhood time Kim Hyun Joong

From kindergarten, Hyun Joong had shown his multiple talents. Solving math sum very fast and drew well. Also, learned to speak and recognized words very fast. His elder brother who was 1 year older than him would always sit still to learn. However, Hyun Joong was the kind of child who could play almost everything but yet could still learn well at the same time.

We were worried that both children would feel pressured from learning, therefore, we always let them get in touch with nature more often. In order to celebrate their starting of primary school life, our family went for a tour in Jeju Island. During that time Hyun Joong rode on a horse which was many times taller than him and refused to come down. Seeing this, the people around praised him for being so wonderful. During weekends, we always brought the children to fish. This is why until now, if he felt pressured from his artist work, Hyun Joong will always go fishing alone.



Starting from 2nd year of primary school, Hyun Joong became the class representative. He always handled his own things meticulously. Waking up right after his little alarm clock rang at 6am in the morning on time, completing all his home work by himself. When we visited his school, his class teacher always praised him: "Hyun Joong was very fast in learning. He would not have a problem to enroll into Seoul University."

At that time, we thought Hyun Joong would use his learning ability to be successful in his career, we had never thought that he would be an artist.



Actually, starting from 2nd to 4th year of his Primary school, Hyun Joong participated in the Mathematic Olympic Competition and he always won the Gold medal. He also always won in art competition. His medals were so many until it could fill up an entire box. His result was always ranked 1st in the class and often rank 1st or 2nd in the whole school.

To prevent him from being singled out by his friends, we also sent him for extra tuition classes to learn calligraphy and Hanja. Even in the tuition center, he was always top in the class. When still in the lower primary years, Hyun Joong already obtained the certificate for level 3 Hanja qualification examination. His tuition center teacher praised: "Hyun Joong passed the certification examination even lower secondary students found hard to pass." Our family members were also shocked.

Hyun Joong hide 300 millions won (approximately USD237,000) in a book as a gift for his brother

In junior high school placement test, he was enrolled scoring the 4th highest result in the entire school. It was in his 3rd year junior high school when he announced that he wanted to be an artist. As his father was worried that he was too engrossed in his studies, he bought him a guitar to 'rest his brain', this was the trigger point for him to be an artist.

Hyun Joong started to be engrossed in guitar. Hyun Joong guitar teacher said: "He is very talented, something needed to be learned in 3 years he could master them in 3 months. His guitar teacher once advised his father to let Hyun Joong further his talent in music, but his father was strongly against it.



There after, Hyun Joong formed a band, working part time and performing outside. There's once, the neighbours said: "The day before, the child of that household was delivering fried chicken." Only then the family knew that he worked part time in fried chicken restaurant. We felt that as a man one had to be independent, it is alright to go through hardships, so we didn't stop him from working.

Hyun Joong said: "I would follow my parents' wish to study in arts high school, but I will make every other decisions in future." After joining the high school for 1 year, he voluntary dropped out from school. His father & I said: "Dropping out was your own choice, you have to be responsible for your own decision." He was given only 10 thousand won (USD7.90!) pocket money every month.

Due to Asean financial crisis, our business was affected. We started a fashion business in Dongdaemun. We had to work until 11pm everyday. After getting off from work, I often went to the TGI restaurant which my son worked to secretly watch my son working for around 1 hour before returning home.

During winter, while waiting for my son to come back home, I kept looking out for him from the window. At around 1am, looking at my son making his way through the knee height snow with much difficulties, I felt pain in my heart. In spite of that, I didn't want him to see my sorrow and always turned off the lights to pretend that everybody had fallen asleep.

After passing the trainee singer interview, my son would return home only when he was given time off. In order to be a trainee, his pocket money was always not enough. Often, he came back starving by public bus. There were many times, he didn't even have the transportation fee and had to walk home. Despite that, Hyun Joong had never once asked for money from us.

But his love for his family members is extremely deep. When his brother who was studying in America decided to dropped off from his university due to lacking of school fees, Hyun Joong told his brother: "Brother, please read this book." and gave him a novel as a present.

When his brother opened up the book to read, he found a 300 million won cheque hidden in the book. His brother gave his father a call mentioning that no matter how he counted he couldn't believe the cheque amount. It was beyond our imagination that while being a trainee singer, he could still carefully save so much money. Ever since he enrolled into the university (Kyonggi University Digital Music faculty), we never worried about him.

Both of us always told him: "Pray before doing something". Although Hyun Joong said: "Since now elder brother is serving in the army, you can rely on me. Therefore, in the future, don't work in Dongdaemum anymore." We hope that not only he can be a singer but also be able to form a family of his own and be responsible. With this, we have no other extravagant hopes.
