To our lovely and valued ShenYuePop readers,

We’ve been very busy lately creating relationships with stars in the K-Pop industry. Our goal at ShenYuePop has always been to bring you the latest and greatest news, and what better way than to bring the news directly to you from major players in the industry?

Brian Joo is a very respectable and talented artist in the K-Pop industry, a legend if we may say so, and even with his grueling schedule, Brian found the time to provide us with an exclusive interview!

Well, without further ado, here’s our first exclusive celebrity interview (of many to come)!

Q1: It’s already the year 2008!! Do you have anything you want to do in this New Year?
A1: I wanna go into acting and hopefully into Hollywood to break into the US market… Just Like Yun Jin Park(from “LOST”) and James Kyson Lee(from “HEROES”)
(Lost and Heroes are two of his fav. tv shows!! Oops, he made a mistake in his answer…it’s Kim Yun Jin, not Park Yun Jin..hehe)

Q2: What are your New Year’s Resolutions, that’s if you have any?
A2: To get back into shape and build a healthier body… To be stronger emotionally because I am way too sensitive… and to spend more time with God and build-up my spiritual life…
(He likes to work out and is very religious. Brian…hope u finish reading that Bible of yours soon ^^)

Q3: We heard that Hwanhy’s coming out with a solo album. Is it true and can you give us any info at this time about it?! Even if it’s the slightest tidbits ^^
A3: Well, Hwany is going to be releasing a solo album but, since he’s busy with is drama “SaRangHae”, I don’t have an exact date when that will be released… sorry, for not being much help to you…
(yay!! Can’t wait for his album and drama ^^)

Q4: So you guys are having the “Ready to Launch” concert in Hawaii on February 9th. Why did you guys choose to have it in Hawaii instead of a place where there are more fans, like in LA?!
A4: Well, to be honest, Hawaii contacted us and wanted us to do a show there and I’ve never been there so I am looking forward to it… And it’s not that we’re not trying to do shows in other areas, but we just need time to talk to business people in those areas and we need to get sponsors… I hope you understand…
(fans, start booking your tickets and get ready to party!!)

Q5: Have you ever thought of crossing over to the US or just coming out with an English album?
A5: Plenty of times, but timing is always an issue… Cause we always end up doing other things to keep us from doing all the things we want to do… Hopefully, one day… I’ll get to live that dream of breaking out into the States
(Brian, never give up, hwaiting!!)

Q6: It’s almost your’s and Hwany’s birthday!! Is there anything special you guys want to receive or do?!
A6: I know this’ll sound like an obvious answer, but I really appreciate and love all the gifts our fans give us… even the little things… Although, I do know that I’m getting a few HUGE gifts this year, like a computer, monitor, speakers, and so on… I LOVE MY FANS~!
(Brian’s birthday is on the Jan. 10th and Hwany’s is on the 17th!! Now…I gotta find his address…haha…fans please don’t stalk him!!)

And Brian (if you’re reading this), THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time to reply back to us!! We really appreciated it!! I really can’t stop thanking you for this!! I love you!!

We though it was weird how Brian found that much time …
to upload all those pictures on his Cywold all of a sudden …
Now, seems like he has even more time on his hand!
The dude decided to now open a Facebook and delete his Myspace account!

The reason being we learned is because he also has private Myspace and Facebook accounts for his family and friends. Apparently, he’s on Facebook more than he’s on Myspace, hence the switch over to Facebook.

Seems like Mr. Joo just like us, got fed up with all those spam emails
on Myspace and decided to delete his account!
See! That’s why we never signed up for the Myspace for SHENYUEPOP in the first place!
But seriously someone get this man a job before he gets too bored
and decides next to delete himself off the internet o.O!

PS. Checkout Brian’s soon to be deleted myspace!

So Yeah Mr. Joo is back and very unlikely of him .. he is busy uploading his cyworld!

You are probably wondering if this is true or not, and well….yes it is. Brian’s other half of Fly to the Sky recently left a message in Soompi thanking his many fans (which includes me) for our support. And while in the midst of thanking people he also spits out that we fans should be looking out for Hwanhee’s solo album that is in the works.

Could this be the happiest day of my life?…..maybe not, but it’s darn close to it. Finally we will be able to hear the smooth sounds of hot Fany. All I can think about is will his album be all ballads or mixture of up tempos and ballads songs. But actually, I really don’t care because what ever he chooses to do I will be listening with a smile. There is no news on when the album will drop, so we will have to wait *sitting on hands anxiously*.

But first we check out Hwanhee in his upcoming drama “I Love You”, out in 2008.

It’s a story about a one night stand that leds to marriage because of a pregnancy. “It will portray the modern generation’s view on love and marriage as well as the responsibility of raising a child.” Ahn Jae Wook stars along side actress Seo Ji Hye as the newlywed couple.

Hwanhee plays the character of “Park Byung Ho, who was thoughtless, and threw away his child for a better income and life who later regrets this and learns to love.”

It looks like a fun drama with a little twist, so I will be looking out for it.
