About Kim Hyun Joong
Kim Hyun Joong was born on July 6, 1986; he was raised in Seoul, South Korea. When he was in junior high school, to help support his family financially, he started to work a few part-time jobs. One of these part-time jobs was as a waiter in a family restaurant in Jamsil-dong; his grades suffered as a result. In contrast, he had had excellent grades in elementary school, being a very diligent student.

In his late teens, he took a very conscious decision to drop out of high school. The motive behind this decision was that he wanted to dedicate his life entirely to music. He was 18 years old at the time, and he was able to start laying the groundwork of a musical career by performing in a youth band. The youth band was comprised of several of Kim Hyung Joong's friends from church and it was named "aksuseu". He was also working in part-time jobs and with little free time for himself he started auditioning. He got his first chance to be in the music spotlight after being selected as member of the boy band SS501.
