First and foremost, I can't update my blog since last week coz I got holiday trip all over Malaysia with whole my family.*ok,not all over actually,just some states*. In the meantime, I was lost in contact with all kpop news as I couldn't bring my lappy there. So, I felt like I was living in the dark room where I dunno a thing about kpop that day. I read kpop news everyday and when I skipped it a day, I felt kinda weird and uneasy.*I know that I'm over exaggerated*. Am I a kpopholic?hehehe~I know some kpop lovers feel the same too.
Anyway, here I grabbed some news from allkpop regarding our SS501 fellow member, Kim Kyu Jong (I'm more comfortable to call him as Kyu rather than 'Gorilla') kekeke. You may already know that he was in the same company as Young Saeng, B2M Entertainment. Kyu took part in Daily Sport's interview and he revealed that he will be working against his 'flower boy' charms in attempt to become a more skilled actor. I thought that Kyu shouldn't against his 'flower boy' charms but instead improve it. I'm becoming attracted to him because his 'flower boy' charm!
Q. “How’s it like working on your own now?”
Kyu Jong: “It makes me think a lot about being with my members. We used to joke and play around without rest, but now that I’m alone, the feeling’s difficult to express. It feels kind of empty.”

Q. “Are you studying acting now?”
Kyu Jong: “I get trained about two to three times a week for two hours at a time. When I was withSS501 , I received some acting experiences through music videos and variety programs; now that I’m entering the world of professionals, I have to do it properly. There’s a lot of pressure, but my eyes have been opened to the charms of acting, and I’m full with excitement. There’s a drama I’m currently in discussions for, so the decision will be out soon.”

Q. “What kind of actor do you want to become?”
Kyu Jong: “I want to succeed with my skills, not with my ‘flower boy’ image. I am a part of a ‘flower boy’ group, but that doesn’t make me one. …I’m planning to prepare myself so that I can act in a way that delivers my emotions to the audience. I love actor Ha Jung Woo’s acting, so I study his works a lot. He’s especially amazing in the movie, ‘Amazing Day.’”
Q. “Do you meet with the SS501 members often?”
Kyu Jong: “All five of us haven’t been able to meet at one location yet because one or two is always out on another schedule. Young Saeng-hyung is in the same agency as me, so we meet often and give each other advice. He’s preparing for his solo album right now, and I accompanied him on his trip to the U.S. and met his album representatives; I also got to listen to his songs. I call Jung Min often and even monitor his stages. Sometimes I’ll even grab drinks with Hyun Joong-hyung.”

Q. “You must be worried about different things now that your solo activities are coming up.”
Kyu Jong: “Before, the members could carry me, but now I have no one to depend on and must take responsibility for myself. Of course I’m worried, but I’m sure I’ll improve myself through this opportunity. I’ve begun to see things that I didn’t notice when we were together. I’ll see the members doing their individual activities and wonder to myself where these different images they’re expressing were hiding. Every time I feel that they've grown. I feel really proud and become motivated to do better myself. I think we've become like a whip for one another.”Q. “Aren’t there a lot of hardcore SS501 fans?”
Kyu Jong: “I once told my fans to restrict waiting outside our homes; in return, I would treat them better in concert or broadcast halls. Ever since then, there’s been a lot less sasaeng fans. My father often tells me to treat them well when they come to me, because who will be there 10 years from now. It’s true, don’t you think? I live feeling thankful that they like me.”

Q. “When will SS501’s album be released?”
Kyu Jong: “I’m thinking sometime near the year-end. Our agencies are all different, so it’s difficult to get things moving. Since all of our members are on the same page of remaining together, the results of that desire will come out soon.”

I notice that he meet YS,HJL and PJM~but I wonder where is HJB? He might forget HJB that time but I know he never forget our cute maknae in his heart,ikr?
So, the comeback of SS501 will be held near the year-end? That's so loooong! I need an instant one but I'll wait even it takes for some years. With all these solo activities, I know they don't have much time to spare on each other frequently.
Hopes they got enough rest and be healthy throughout the year.
~In every breath, I always support SS501~♥
