[News] Kim Hyun Joong (김현중) Wants to Catch JFK's Assassin



On April 26, Kim Hyun Joong had a special interview with fans from Korea and Hong Kong through "Yahoo! Celeb Mission Interview." More than 24,000 fans from Korea and 26,000 from other Asian countries like Hong Kong and Taiwan signed up online to be one of the lucky five fan interviewers.


Comedian Cho Se Ho hosted the event and five fans from Korea and Hong Kong had an opportunity to freely ask questions to Kim Hyun Joong for about an hour. Kim Hyun Joong said, "I am happy to be the first interviewee of 'Yahoo! Mission Interview.' I would like to have more chances to communicate with my fans overseas through this event."  

During the interview, Kim Hyun Joong was asked "If you get a chance to take the time machine and visit a different era, when would that be?" by a fan from Hong Kong. He answered, "I want to check out Mayan or Incan civilization with my own eyes. I've always been really interested in them. Also, I'm a big fan of conspiracy theories. It'd be really nice to go back to the time when JFK was assassinated and catch the assassin myself."


The full interview of Kim Hyun Joong's "Yahoo! Celeb Mission Interview" will be revealed online through "Yahoo! Celeb" in early May. This interview will also be featured on other Asian countries' Yahoo! websites, too. Also in May, Kim Hyun Joong will hold "Kim Hyun Joong Fan Meeting Tour 2012" in several Asian countries. Currently, he is looking at several scripts and scenarios for his next on-screen project.

[News] Kim Hyun Joong (김현중) - Playful Kiss hit globally

Repost with full credit, Please. 


Every TV network executive in Burbank cries into their organic kombucha from time to time about the great show that just couldn’t find an audience, whether it be from unlucky scheduling quirks or creative concepts that were just too far ahead of their time.
 
And it’s not just a domestic issue — the producers of Korea’s Playful Kiss saw their youth drama succumb to an inauspiciously short local-TV run back in the fall of 2010, going up against hit time-period competition from My Girlfriend is a Gumiho (“Gumiho” translates into “nine-tailed fox,” a Chinese mythic figure, if that helps).

Like Terra Nova, that Knight Rider remake a few years back, or any show starring Christian Slater, Playful Kiss might have been headed to the junk pile of so-called “broken series” — shows that made it past the pilot stage but didn’t live long enough to accumulate a syndication library. But Playful Kiss is proving to be more like Arrested Development, a low-rated but critically beloved Fox comedy that was such a popular streaming choice on Netflix, the company decided last year to resume production of the show.

Through global TV streaming service ViKi, Playful Kiss has become somewhat of a worldwide sensation, garnering a loyal audience of nearly 7 million viewers and more than recouping a modest production spend of under $1 million several million dollars to make 16 episodes.

According to Razmig Hovaghimian, CEO of ViKi, which is based in Singapore but keeps an office near its Bay Area funding, the show has been streamed more than 70 million times by ViKi users, about 1,400 of whom have used the site’s innovative group subtitling tool to translate the show into 56 languages.

The series, about a quirky high school girl whose family moves into the home of a popular boy she has a crush on following an earthquake, has garnered an audience that’s 70 percent non-Asian, Hovaghimian said. Ample viewership, for example, has come through a ViKi syndication partnership with Hulu in the U.S., while producer Group 8 has already worked with YouTube on a follow-up digital series.

Supplied to ViKi under barter advertising terms, Group 8 has recouped $400,000 in ad revenue to date through the service, while the global exposure of the series has enabled the company to take in another $3.5 million through a dozen foreign broadcast deals.
Sums up Group 8 CEO  Song Byung Joon: ”ViKi helped Playful Kiss find its audience.”
