Things are looking up for Kim Hyun Joong these days. Not only is his drama vehicle chugging along to higher numbers in recent episodes, but also personally, he is getting some reaffirming boost of confidence from fans in other ways.
Kim Hyun Joong’s drama Playful Kiss (MBC) is seeing its ratings hover up to 6% in the last couple of weeks, not exactly stellar numbers on their own, but relative to the 3% range in viewership turnout since its debut, this doubling gain is definitely cause to break open the soju bottles for a round of one shots.
In recent episodes, in lieu with the storyline, Kim Hyun Joong changed his hairstyle with his character’s entry into college. His new wavy perm look has struck an approving chord with fans and audiences and has garnered positive blogs’ and postings’ attention towards him.
Additionally, on another front, Kim Hyun Joong has been voted #1 in a poll asking, “Which celebrity one wants to be in a relationship with this fall?” Whether it’s his looks, unpredictable 4th dimension personality, confidence, sexy dance moves, or a combination of all these and other traits, Kim Hyun Joong is still beating the competitive pack as the ideal boyfriend to most Korean pop fans. Close on his heels are Lee Seung Gi (My Girlfriend is a Gumiho), Song Joong Ki (Sungkyunkwan Scandal), and Yoon Shi Yoon (Baker King, Kim Tak Goo) in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place respectively.
