Kim Hyun Joong: Superstitions, bling, and Chinese chess
"I'm not entirely superstitious for a lot of things but I have certain sides to myself. For example, when I have a good dream, I might go out and buy the lottery (laughs)," said Hyun Joong.
Then he continued, flashing a toothy grin, "Yeah, I just struck the lottery last week and I won 5000 Korean won."
"Five dollars (chuckles)," he carefully adds.
When xinmsn mentioned his crystal encrusted iPad casing of crystals with a U:ZOOSIN character, Hyun Joong admits that flamboyant bling is not his cup of tea, but he tries to use it whenever he can "because it's something made by fans".
So what's he into these days after his previous fixation with Paladog in 2011?
After mulling over the questions for a good 10 seconds, he quipped, "Chinese chess".
"I learnt it when I was young and used to play it when I was young. But I didn't use to be good at it in my younger days and it comes with practice. Whenever I play against the computer, I may win two rounds out of three rounds [now]."
Despite looking knackered having touched down less than six hours ago, Hyun Joong cut himself no slack during the 16-minute-long interview. Although our plans to do a mini show-and-tell with Hyun Joong on his 'five travel necessities' was scraped by the management at the eleventh hour, the Korean star made up for it with his earnest answers, and struck us with his unabashed sincerity, unflinching love for fans, and of course, his 4D (aka eccentric) personality.
Is it even any wonder why he's so adored by thousands around the globe?
