Get ready to "Breakdown" with Kim Hyun Joong on June 8!

I was pleasantly surprised to see two things today --- that my temperature had gone down (because I was running a low fever yesterday - definitely need to take care of myself more), and that Kim Hyun Joong had just dropped his new MV for the title track of his new album, "Breakdown". When I checked online, my friend Grace commented on my status --- "DENNISSSSSSSS...!!!" I already knew what was going on, and when I checked my RSS feed for the blogs I read, I saw that KHJ in fact just released him MV.

Hyun Joong is set to release his album on June 8 in Korea (and simultaneously I think in many other Asian countries), but I'm not surprised that he and his management team decided to  release the MV earlier than expected. I've seen many artists do that, but for KHJ, apparently he does it for his fans. He's even giving 4,000 of his fans a free concert / showcase in Korea to thank them for being patient for waiting for his comeback. No wonder this guy has such an ardent fanbase (they're just as enthusiastic here in Manila, trust me!).

Now, on to the video...

[UPDATED] Kim Hyun Joong gives a taste of what's to come with "Please"...

UPDATE --- Posted the newly released MV for KHJ's "Please". Awesome new video with a lot of drama and great dancing. Check it out in the review after the jump!

Any fan of Kpop should know who Kim Hyun Joong is. In the firmament of stars of Kpop-dom, if there's one star who's cemented a place in every screaming fan girl's heart (or fanboys for the matter... hehehe!), that would be him.

He first came to fame with the male idol group SS501 as their ever enigmatic and very quirky leader. His exploits on Korean TV shows like "We Got Married" (with his TV wife, Hwang Bo) made him even more popular in Korea. What catapaulted him to fame internationally are his famous roles in the Korean versions of the Japanese mangas "Hana Yori Dango" / "Boys Over Flowers" (which has had tons of iterations over the years --- Taiwan's "Meteor Garden" with the ever famous Chinese F4, and Japans own production starring Arashi's Matsumoto Jun), and "Itazura no Kiss" / "It All Started With A Kiss" (which was titled "Playful Kiss" in the Korean drama).
