[Article] Kim Hyun Joong Celebrity Artifacts
Wohow!! Hallyu Museum ^ ^!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you ever wondered what happened to Hyun Joong’s things that were famously auctioned ?
-autographed sports pants in Manila during the FS promotion
-attire he wore for the Asian Games where he sang with the Chinese Divas then auctioned during smile concert in Japan
-soccer jersey with Peace Star Cup letterings worn by him sold in Vietnam
-his brown hat during his SS501 days
-his guitar bidded in Korea for the Rainbow project
Though they all belong to the legitimate owners now, I am just bitten by the curiosity bug, but were they worn, used, displayed, and how/ where at all ?
Equally interesting were the auctions themselves as fans try to battle it out with each other. There was a reported bidding where Hyun Joong had to step in as he felt the bidding price was getting too high.
Do you also wonder like me, what winners did to the auctioned autographed lifesized standees in the Philippines, Singapore and Malaysia?
There were also those previously worn/owned by Hyun Joong he freely gave away during his concerts/fanmeetings -like his several pairs of earrings. But a bag signed by him with his personal sketches was also auctioned. Items he lost like cellphones, wallets and other personal belongings made the finders-keepers very happy. Then I remember he has a nice traveller Gucci bag with his KHJ name emblazzoned across it, I don’t see it anymore in his recent travels, will it be auctioned someday?
And an eatery in Japan he recently paid a visit still has on its wall his and the other SS501 members’ autographs. I also recall , a picture circulated in the net of a fan’s mini display of some of his performance clothing a few years ago. How were these acquired? His red rubber shoes went also on display some time back garnering attention from fans.
It is no longer a surprise fans want to keep kim Hyun Joong’s personal items or anything associated with him but to pay for it at a very high price in auction?
According to celebrity studies experts there is a thriving memorabilia industry where celebrity preowned possessions specially those associated with significant events command high prices running even into millions of dollars. And it was more than sentimental attachment of fans, but it could be used for its symbolic importance for a campaign drives for charity and other causes. Or the artifacts are seen as being able to command higher price someday -as it is also a form of investment as they become collector’s items. Or some people just have a lot of disposable income.
The artifacts are a curiosity that attract public attention. They also represent an era so iconic by itself not only the person who used them. These wasn’t lost on museums who collected artifacts or material possessions of important personages or celebrities of many centuries ago. Though the usual connotations of artifacts are that they are associated with people long dead, the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C. also collects from entertainment celebrities even from those living and still popular.
Mementos and souvenirs associated with the celebrity are also artifacts like signed posters, pictures , CD’s and DVD’s, photobooks, Tshirts, keychains, pins,concert tickets and the list just go on. Big or small does not matter it’s their values for you, the fan, that count. How about Hyun Joong’s half -finished bottle of water will you keep it ?
South Korea is into the memorabilia mode as it will open the 85,400 sq.ft Hallyu Museum at the International Business Complex of the Incheon Airport this second half of 2012. It has been widely acclaimed that the museum will show visitors the extent of the Hallyu phenomenon and the standing of its performers and stars. As you very well know, Kim Hyun Joong as a second generation Hallyu star has carried the flag to other shores when he perform. What artifact do you think will best showcase Hyun Joong’s contributions?

SS501 Gossips
23rd June, Sat, 2012
Well though I'm not a fan of ss501, I love watching them together .
I was going through my timeline & I striked on this pages' updates. Lemme share here

I just rofl when I read it ^_______ ^
Btw I dunno why there is system of visiting bath house @ Korea ?
“When SS501 just debuted, Kyu Jong and I went to a bath house. when we’re in the shower room taking our tops off and in the mid of taking our pants off, a fan suddenly came with a paper and said “please sign for me!” in the end, we signed for that fan in embarrassment. So now you know why we no longer visit bath houses! ha~”
— Kim Hyun Joong *LoL*
“When the 3 of us are having our activities, I become the leader, during that time, I felt being a leader is really tough, I can understand being the leader for 5 person was even more tough, so I miss our Leader.”
— Heo Young Saeng
Hyun Joong hyung listens to music so loud that the neighbors are telling us to move out.” — Kim Kyu Jong
“I think Hyun Joong hyung is very kind and well-mannered especially to the elders. He gets along with the elders. But the strange thing is that the parents all like me. Haha.”
— Park Jung Min
Hyun Joong: “With Hyung Jun, I can casually joke around. Locking his neck under my arm, playing around like this.”
Hyung Jun: “He treats me as a toy, really.”
(hahaha,.. poor baby^^)
“Hyun Joong hyungie, anywhere he is, he can sleep well. We could be at a music show with loud music everywhere while he sleeps in the back. And it’s really fast. He’ll say “I’m going to sleep” and he’ll fall asleep. I really envy that part of him.”
— Park Jung Min
“If the members are late, I’ll say, “Why are you late?!” but if Young Saeng’s late, I just say, “Oh, it’s okay.” — Kim Hyun Joong
Me - "Special discount for HS !! hmmm hehe"
“Hyun Joong hyung is totally a real man. He is very generous, easy to get along, and dependable. Sometimes, he would hide and cry secretly at night. He won’t tell others when he is sad about something. He’ll bear the sadness himself. He has a strong personality (he will not fall).”
— Kim Kyu Jong
Me : " I know......"
“Young Saeng’s personality and mine are totally different. Our way of thinking is also totally different.
Because two people totally different are more compatible… Young Saeng and I aren’t awkward. (awkwardness exploding)”
— Kim Hyun Joong
“All Netizens, please don’t yell at him. We would usually ignore it, but Kyu Jong will take it seriously to his heart!” — Kim Hyun Joong
“Where we’re with our members, we joke around and may lightly curse. But as soon as a woman star comes in, Hyung Jun’s voice changes. He changes to a shy, smiling young man. A gentleman.”
— Kim Hyun Joong
“Hyun Joong-hyung drinks fast and he gets drunk very fast, he will definitely not wake up.” — Kim Hyung Jun
“My signature is the one that Hyun Joong hyung made for me five years ago, but I’m still using it.” — Kim Hyung Jun
All members are my favorite. However, I had a drink with Leader before and found that he looked very handsome then.” - Young Saeng
