[Official Interview] Kim Hyun Joo (Rida) stars in the Japan-Korea co-production TV series ”Her Time Away” which starts airing today (6th)

The love that makes Kim Hyun Joo who he is is shown in his latest album "LOVE" released in Japan in July.
Kim Hyun Joo will be performing songs that he wrote and composed himself, as well as songs by Fujii Fumiya and others.
She also sang songs written by Naoto Inti Raymi and Ai Kawashima. At times, she expanded her perspective to the Earth and the vast universe, enveloping the hearts of those who listened with great love. There was always a gentle smile.
Kim Hyun Joo's typical figure was projected, conveying warm and heartwarming feelings with a smile on her face. In contrast, in "CAGE," released in Korea on STREAM in August,
He raps harsh messages. He shows a different side of himself from the musical style he portrays in the album. He explains why he has shown such different expressions in such a short time.
The album "UNIVERSE" was created with the pure desire to nurture this love together with my friends who support me. At the same time, it is an important venue for my activities.
I got so excited with the fans during a concert that I wanted to sing along with them. The song "CAGE" that I released in Korea has two meanings.
Wars are breaking out everywhere and people are fighting one another. One of the complaints is that no matter how hard we struggle, we can't escape from the current global environment.
And the other is, "But we are an important part of the Earth, and we want to change this world with our own hands (to a world filled with love and peace)."
)) Let's change things. Humans have had many conflicts since ancient times, where people have taken and been taken from each other. It is not only those who are actually involved in conflicts who feel uneasy about conflicts.
It is also in us who are watching. That is why, instead of fighting, we should grasp the meaning, reason and importance of life from a different perspective and try to change the world into one without conflict in our own way.
I packed "LOVE UNIVERSE" with "warm affection." It is because of love that we want to protect the people we care about, and live for them.
That is the message. In contrast, "CAGE" expresses the view of criticizing the world.
Although there are differences in the way I convey my message in "UNIVERSE" and the single "CAGE," the underlying feeling of my own is the same: "To love people."
"The most important thing is to have a strong will." Recently, Kim Hyun Joo has been focusing on music, but she is starring in a new work as an actress. This is a Japanese-Korean co-production TV series that will be broadcast on the main channel in November.
"Time Without Her" will be broadcast in 4 episodes on Nagoya TV. Kim Hyun Joo plays the main character, Eun Tae, who lost his beloved wife Mai after her death.
Using a photo he found at home as a clue, he begins a journey to recover his memories. On the journey, he meets a girl and begins to write a story of a strange fate... This is the story.
He talked about the appeal of this work, which has a theme of "love," as follows: "When I first read the script without knowing anything about it, I thought, 'What?! A story about falling in love with a high school girl?'
Of course, as I understood the story, it was not about a dangerous relationship, but rather it was a heartwarming and wonderful story. However, there was a kissing scene in it.
I thought that if I didn't understand the story deeply and act accordingly, the audience would think, "Is this a story about a dangerous relationship?" That's why, before filming began,
Of course, even during filming, I had many conversations with my co-star Tensho Amane about each scene, and we both tried to express ourselves in a way that would not leave any room for misunderstandings for the viewers.
The story is set in a city called Jeongseong in Korea. And Nagoya in Japan. The first time I met the girl in Korea was at a train station. The final story with that girl is...
The location for the painting is a reed-filled meadow at the mouth of a river near the sea in Nagoya. On the way there, he took photos at various scenic locations, and he was really surprised at why he ended up in Japan.
You will be able to feel the presence of the llamas. How will the mysterious relationship between the two characters become clearer? Enjoy the process along with the colorful scenery in the background.
Eun-tae and I have a lot in common, such as being the same age and having someone to protect.
What I learned from Eun-tae is that instead of regretting it after you've lost someone important, you should always try to protect them while you're still together.
I think I felt that way because I experienced the sadness and emptiness of those times. When I put Eun Tae’s feelings in my place, I thought of the people who love and support me.
I try to take good care of my many fans, my family, my friends, and the team members who support me so that I never lose them.
I have always thought that, but I learned that feeling from Eun Tae once again. Kim Hyun Joo also sang the ending theme song for the TV series "Her Time".
In this song, which is centered around a melody, you will be able to feel his charm, which is different from the songs recorded in the album "LOVE UNIVERSE" and the expression he portrayed in "CAGE".
In conjunction with the broadcast, the full version will be streamed exclusively and simultaneously on Lemino. In terms of artist activities, on November 9th (Sat) and 10th (Sun),
2024 KIM HYUN JOONG CONCERT "THE LAST
Additional performances of "DANCE" are also scheduled. Finally, we would like to share his message for the future.
"Even now, many Japanese fans shower me with love as a singer and as an actor. I will continue to take on various challenges in order to continue to meet the expectations of everyone.
While studying Miya, I try to perform in a way that moves people's hearts. When it comes to music, I always simulate in my head, thinking, "If I play this kind of music, how will people react?"
I imagine and create all kinds of music while I'm at it. I love band music, and it's the basis of my expression. I especially like British music.
I think this is what every artist wants, and I think this is what I think too.
Like the Beatles' music that will never be forgotten, I have always pursued music that is simple yet trendy.
We have more shows coming up. This will be the last time that I will be singing and dancing on stage. Please don't be disappointed. I will continue to express myself as a band in the same way as before.
We will do our best to satisfy everyone. Please continue to support us. And let's meet again." ■Broadcast information■ Title:
