Remember that photos posted HERE by Marvie today? Well, just found out tonight from the tweet of wonderrrgirl and LoveKHJ that miyo of LoveKimHyunJoong.com did the translation of the short article from K☆STAR LOVERS 2/1 Issue. Much much thanks miyo, I am shoving your translation here. ^^

[Trans] K☆STAR LOVERS 2/1 Issue

Japanese Translation: miyo @lovekimhyunjoong.com

Big news in 2010?

“In terms of work, have moved to another management company, acted in drama 「Playful Kiss」, attend the Guangzhou Asia Games Opening Ceremony as a representative from Korea and sang the official theme song and winning the Best Dresser Award at 「Skyperfect! Awards 2010」.

In terms of private, I have moved house and had a trip to China.
This time I went together with the male dancer friends. In 2009, when I went to Hong Kong together with friends, I had a bad experience with photos taken by paparazzi (laughs). Last time, I do not have that much of interest in travelling but now has changed. I would like to go to Africa and South Pole. I’m interested with places that not many people have been to.
In 2010, during the World Cup Soccer at South Africa, it was the best news to know that Japan and South Korea got into the best 16. Proud of both countries showing what Asia soccer is to the world. For Japanese soccer player, I like Honda Keisuke.”

If 100points is full marks, how many points would you give for satisfaction in 2010?

“Although I do not have much rest, I do not feel overloaded as I play while working.
I think I have achieved over my target so it will be 100points.”

Recently how do you spend your off time?

“In these 2 years, when I have the time I will spend it on working on my body. My body fat is about 10%. 6 times a week, 1 day for 2 hours swimming, jogging and weight training with my trainer.
On Sundays is soccer with friends. My position is center forward!”

Target for 2011?

“I’m preparing for the album production now. I’m also planning for Asia tour. In future, my biggest target would be a solo concert at Tokyo Dome!
I would like to challenge more in drama and movies too. Korean version 「Boys Over Flowers」, 「Playful Kiss」 both were roles of a prince.
There’s a scene in 「Playful Kiss」 where I have to say this line “you are more dazzling than the sunshine”, it was hard and embarrassing. I shouldn’t say this but I thought next time I could act in a role as a poor guy who has no money and is troubled (laughs). I think this type of role fits me. When I was 17, I had left home and stayed in a basement for several months. I lived with rats and cat with nothing else but only a bed in the room (laughs). Of course there isn’t the need to pay rent. It was happy. Please love my next work even if it’s not a prince role!”

"Actors playing themselves destroys the art form ."

Actors assaying roles far from their real life persona are the really good ones .

Call it flexibility,I just call it plain acting-which means you are just assuming a role and being the best in it.It is what the actors make out of the role.When actors are believable in the make -believe world ,then he is a true dyed in the wool actor.HJ was very attractive as Jihoo because it is the opposite of what fans know of him in real life .It is that transformation that is amazing and I hope HJ is aware of that .

Another thing ,film making -whether on the small or big screen is done for business -PROFIT -not for the personal likes and dislikes of a person.The casting of a star depends on his/her percieved bankability (sponsors ) and ability to attract viewers no more and no less.
