[09/11] Hyun Joong at Gimpo Airport flying to Japan

If he is to attend the opening of the Asian Games in Guangzhou, China, why is he then going to Tokyo? He's got another event there first. I believe he'd be attending the SkyPerfect TV Awards 2010 scheduled on the 10th Nov, wherein his DATV show Just The Way You Are is nominated.

Kim Hyun Joong violated his contract for the ‘Guangzhou 2010 Asian Games’

Kim Hyun Joong was previously reported to be participating in the opening ceremony for the 16th “Guangzhou 2010 Asian Games“ on November 12th, but it has recently been revealed that he violated his contract terms.

On November 5th, a news report by the Beijing Youth Daily included an interview with Chun Wei, the director for the opening ceremony. He stated, “We’ve been put in an extremely difficult situation due to the disclosure of Kim Hyun Joong participating in the opening ceremony. China has been keeping the names of our own singers under the utmost secrecy, so it’s difficult for us to understand why he went ahead and revealed it.”

He continued, “The point of the ceremony is to reveal who is singing the theme song on the day of the actual ceremony. We’re extremely shocked to hear that news of his participation have already been reported. He even signed the contract agreeing to keep the information a secret. Kim Hyun Joong violated the contract and it’s very unfortunate.”

Yet despite his disappointment, the director went on to express his understanding for the singer. ”The opening ceremony will hold a 100,000 member audience. Since it will also be broadcast live through TV, over a billion people will be watching Kim Hyun Joong. He probably thought of this as an honor and wanted to get it known. I understand his actions and will not ask him to take responsibility for it.”

Why is it that it is his fault? Shouldn't it be the person who leaked the info to the media? From what I read before it was an agency from China that mentioned it. Oh well, the moment Hyun Joong stepped back in Korea after his quick trip in China, whispers of a singing engagement was already abuzz.

Kim flew to Beijing after wrapping up his shoot to prepare for the performance, which will take place during the opening ceremony. “The organizers are preparing a grand scale opening ceremony and they wanted someone popular and with enough clout to be added to their lineup, so they invited (Kim),” said Park Sung-jin of China’s Star Lake Agency. “The performance will begin at the climax of the ceremony with the four singers representing unity among all Asian nations.”

The broadcast rights to Kim’s MBC series have been sold to 12 countries in Asia, illustrating the 24-year-old’s popularity outside of Korea.

Kim is scheduled to depart to Guangzhou on Nov. 11, a day before the opening ceremony.
