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).
