I knew Kim Junho from his younger brother, Kim Junsu. Maybe he was influenced by his brother, the baseball career tall man decided to join the entertainment industry, alongside with his brother.
Similar to Junsu, Junho possess many similar traits as Junsu: Cute, Shy, Gentle and Serious. After the interview ended, when the reporter hinted for the plushie to be given back, he immediately changed his serious mood to cute, using his limited Chinese he said, “Give me this!” When the reporter was fretting about it, his expression seemed to be more entangled than the reporter’s. When agreed to have the plushie, he was like a kid who just received sweets, clutching the plushie tightly and smiling. Happiness is this easy.
12530: In the successful showcase held in Beijing, Japan and Singapore, what is your impression of them? Which of the shows left a deep impression? In these entire showcases, when is the most moving moment?
Kim Junho: I think the deepest impression left on me is the Singapore showcase. Because there are more fan interactions and I really did not expect that there are so many Singapore fans. And when I was singing, the crowd sang with me and I was really moved.
12530: The last time you were going the ‘love song route’, but at the showcase there are dancing and showing of abs, so why this change? What did you sacrifice for these?
Kim Junho: I made these changes to give fans a more “fresh” feeling. For this to happen I had to work very hard. Firstly I had to be on a diet, eating chicken breast meat everyday without rice; to me this is the toughest.
12530: After finishing these showcases, what working plans do you have?
Kim Junho: All these are still in confirmation; but Malaysia, Thailand are already confirmed, and an additional show in Japan. At the end of the month there will be a signing session in Beijing.
12530: More and more Korean artistes are moving on to the China Market, they are fairly well in Chinese, will you feel stressed? As compared to them, what is your advantage?
Kim Junho: There would surely be stress, but one good point is that I can exchange experience about the activities in china. To all the people who like me, I will study very hard for my Chinese, and I hope I can converse with everybody in Chinese soon.
12530: Other than being a singer, which other areas do you want to take part in?
Kin Junho: Other than a singer, I would like to try things related to movies and television and hosting.
12530: Do you like to watch Chinese Martial Arts television shows? If you’re the one acting, which role would you like to act out?
Kim Junho: Yes. If I had I chance I would like to be a general, a general who is able to ride on horses. Because I haven’t had any experience of riding horses, so I will be looking forward to it.
12530: Where do you think you and your twin brother, Kim Junsu, look alike the most? Where is the largest difference? Is there a great personality difference?
Kim Junho: When we smile, our mouths are very similar. Personality wise, Junsu is manlier than me. I am more gentle and shy.
12530: Which city in China would you like to visit the most? Why?
Kim Junho: I would like to go to Hainan because my friends told me that Hainan is very fun
12530: What is your ideal girl like? Is it similar as your brother’s?
Kim Junho: I like gentle, filial and kind-hearted girls. Because we are twins, so our ideal girl are the same.
12530: If you and your brother both fell in love with the same girl, would you give in to your brother or depend on yourself to ‘snatch’ the girl?
Kim Junho: Even though I am the older brother, I think I wouldn’t give in to my brother. So even though I look like a more gentle person, when I meet the girl I like, I would definitely not let go.
12530: What do you usually call each other? Please say something about some of the interesting daily stuff that happens.
Kim Junho: We don’t really call each other nicknames; basically we just call each other “older brother” and “younger brother”. The last time we met, we were talking about daily happenings but now when we meet, the topic changes to music related work stuff. Even the both of us finds the changes amazing. (Is it possible for the both of you to work together?) To stand on a stage and sing has been our dream, so I wish we will have a chance to sing together.
12530: Did you prepare any presents for your mother during mothers’ day?
Kim Junho: I prepared my blessings, so I didn’t prepare any special presents. From young until now, I’ve never prepared any special presents so I think to establish my career is the best present for my mother.
