He entered the entertainment industry previously by filming a CF in Korea, and started attending acting lessons in order to pursue his career as an actor 3 years ago. Furthermore, he had once participated in a musical and hence his recognition as a musical actor. On June 4th, Kim Jun Ho brought his new album “Beginning” to the interview place (Kebei Qingwang Music) and had a good chat with his fans about how a Korean guy alone in China is pursuing his dreams.
Baseball Competition Ready for CombatHost: At the beginning of our conversation, I asked Junho if he would be able to understand if i spoke slowly in Mandarin, and he said a little. Many fans were saying that it isn't easy to be fans, they have been waiting hard for you. The fans brought up various questions earlier, and amongst it was one pertaining to your baseball competition tormorrow. Is there a competition tomorrow? Can you speak about it?
Junho: There will be many competitors from various countries tomorrow, Japanese, Korean, Chinese athletes. I'm competing as a representative of Korea.
Host: I understand that you have been introduced to baseball as a professional player for many years, the fans who like you say that there'll be exceptional results for tomorrow's match.
Junho: There aren't only university students participating in tomorrow's competition, but many professional players as well including ex-national team players from China. The pressure is slightly greater.
Host: Kim Jun Ho is really good at baseball, physically fit too, what role do you take on when playing soccer then?
Junho: I'm a defender, centre-back position.
Passionate about music Devotion for danceHost: We can see that Kim Jun Ho has many professions such as a baseball player, and now able to participate in on-screen productions and perviously filmed CFs as a singer, so many aspects, indeed many girls like you. Which aspect do you think you excel in the most?
Junho: Afterall I've played baseball for more than 10 years, so my strength would be baseball. But my job now is a singer, I'll put in more effort in singing and dancing. If anyone were to ask me this question again, I think my answer would be singing and dancing.
Host: Speaking of Kim Jun Ho and Kim Jun Su in the area of music, there have been netizens wishing for both Kim Jun Ho and Kim Jun Su to release an album, or even a single together.
Junho: First off, I think that this is one of my dreams too. However, I think that I should do this only when i'm on par with Kim Jun Su.

Junho: I'll sing the front bit from my single 'I Love You'.
Host: Thank you! Even though it was really short, but many of us were holding our breaths as we listened. I hope that Junho will be able to improve his command of mandarin, so we would be able to listen to more songs from you. There are netizens who were saying that the host mentioned about fans forming a team to go on a trip together. A trip to a beautiful place with one's idol is really a blissful matter. Many people are cheering you on for tomorrow's match. Actually participating in more competitions is a way to gain more interaction. There is someone asking about your ideal type of girl. What kind of girl is she, tall, someone with a hot figure, or someone fair-skinned? You seem to understand what I'm talking about now.
Junho: I prefer those who are slightly taller*, and one with a bright personality.
Host: We got it. Speaking of your mini album, we heard a few sentences from you earlier. We see that Junho has taken many pretty pictures before in photoshoots, did you take more this time round for your album? Is it available at stores now?
Junho: It is available at FAB in Xidan.
Host: Everyone has taken a look at his album earlier, can you reveal a little of your upcoming schedules? Someone said she hopes that Junho would update his Weibo (Chinese version of twitter) frequently.
Junho: The latest upcoming schedule would be the fansign on 26th June at Sichuan, I hope that many fans from Sichuan would attend and cheer me on. Also in the future, I would be having my personal showcase in Japan, Thailand and Malaysia, hope that the China fans can support me! Regarding my personal Weibo, I will try my best to update it frequently. I also created a cyber blog last year, but didn't manage it often, I'll manage it more often now like what the fans requested.
Host: Our show has received lots of attention from many, but our show has been proceeding rather quickly and the time's almost up. There are still on-going questions and netizens are still cheering you on. How many marks does Junho give himself for his MINI Album? Or which aspect of your album are you the most satisfied with? Are there any disappointments?
Junho: I would give myself 70 or 80 marks. However, I would love to give myself 100 marks as I did give my all and worked hard for this album, even though i gave myself a score of 70 or 80 marks. For the song 'I Love You', most Chinese love to hear melodious songs like this, and I personally find it nice to listen to. For my main track, it is rather explosive, feels great performing live, the dance choreography is really beautiful, take for example the fist-attack dance. My chinese pronounciation is something i'm disappointed with while I was recording the songs, as I'm Korean afterall.
*He should be referring to girls in general, and not that the girl should be slightly taller than him. His girlfriend must be slightly taller than most girls I guess.
