Tim’s momjjang project
by javabeans
Balladeer Tim is following in buddy and fellow management-company-mate Sohn Ho-young‘s footsteps in embarking upon a “momjjang project” (“momjjang” meaning hot bod).
To this end, Tim’s recently started his goal toward bulking up his naturally thin frame by joining a gym and accepting the advice of self-professed fitness buff and ex-G.O.D. rapper Sohn (to right), who is taking Tim under his figurative wing and guiding him along the path to muscle tone and fitness enlightenment. As Tim is known for his soft and gentle image — owed to his melodic ballads and smooth voice — this move marks a move away from that label, going for some added edge. Apparently he’s already gained 4 kg since starting his workout regimen.
Momjjangs are good and all and I never say no to some eye candy, but personally I don’t care what he looks like as long as he sounds as good as ever. (He and Clazziquai’s Alex have got to be the strongest male vocalists — or at least among the strongest — in the current kpop scene. If you care to listen, you can find links to all Tim songs posted here. “Haru sae” and “To my father” are probably my two favorites.)

Voices of heaven indeed!
How about female vocalists in the current kpop scene? I'm at a lost....Lyn? Gummy? or maybe Ock Ju Hyun? Yikes.

Females: Perhaps Lim Jeong-hee? Younha? For rocker chicks, Jisun (Loveholic) and Kim Yoon-ah (Jaurim)? And despite the fact that I dislike the actual sound of her voice, Boa does have strong pipes.

Love Alex! But I definitely prefer Shin Hye Sung's voice the most. Soothing....

Momjjang Tim? We'll see. Beyond just his voice, I always thought Tim is very attractive as he is. I just really prefer my skinny (or at least slim, as opposed to hart-bodied) boys.

Ahh I truly do adore Tim and Alex's soothing voices. But we must not forget other great Kpop vocalists known for their ballads: Eru, Sung Si Kyung (his voice is overwhelming <3), Lee Seungki, and the duo FTTS. Just to name a few. (:
Do you agree Javabeans?

Tim...I'm personally against the.. bodybuilding. He's good-looking enough already, no need to go for muscle.
Other artist for ballads... SG WannaBe... Their vocals are truly amazing, especially 진호's~ He expresses so much emotion in his songs, Super Junior would shrivel in his wrath ! (though they don't really sing ballads) Hehe. Maybe it's a little biased.

love alex, but strong male vocalist he is definitely not. he was completely blown away by sung si kyung on yoon do hyun's loveletter 300th episode special. they sang a couple duets and some of their own songs.. and...
sung si kyung > alex.
i'm not a SSK fan, but this was undeniable.
i don't know if alex is still smoking, but the cigs have done their damage too.

^ Yeah, Sung Si Kyung all the way for me too. If we're talking about ballads, it's all about a soothing, gentle voice/image. Sung Si Kyung has that more than Tim in my opinion >< But I admit Alex has a really unique voice though, maybe not for ballads, but definately for Clazziquai's style of songs! Tim is good looking already, but of course body building won't be that bad for him either ^^

haha tim
he tried to dance and that was... i'm not quite sure and now the body building.
he should just stay natural I can not imagine a buff body going with that small soft face.

tim & shin hye sung are my favorite ballad singers... just listening to them can bring me out of a bad mood... which i've been having a lot of lately...
as far as their looks, i've always thought tim was extremely handsome.. & shin hye sung very cute & adorable looking... there's no need for buffing up or plastic surgery for either of them imo...
bc talent & good looks are always appealing.. but i'd rather there be more than meets the eye in a person & artist... there's nothing more empty than form without substance know what i mean?

In the words of homer simpson, mmmmmm tim and alexxxxx :P
I love both of them to death although I can't help but love alex a teensy bit more. That man is sex on a stick and his voice is like warm melted chocolate drizzled with butterscotch *yum*. I could listen to him recite the alphabet all day!
I think tim looks great the way he is now though. I'm all for him bulking up and stuff but if he starts prancing around the stage with his shirt off, that will be the end of my tim infatuation.

Ooooh add me to the list of Sung Shi Kyung fans. Alyssa, I agree..his voice is overwhelming. So wonderful! But, yeah Tim, Alex, Hye Sung and Jo Sung Mo and Kim Bum Soo make my list of favs too. The voice rules with the ballad singers; a nice body is just extra. However I'm all for working out and getting in shape. Nothing wrong with that!

OMG Yes! Sung Shi Kyung has the best voice. Also, I feel like he knows music whereas others are just singing. I think, due to the competitiveness of the industry in Korea, one has to evolve and bring something new. I remember Sung Shi Kyung did the body change a little while ago. He looked so hot but he never showed it off (not that he has to. His voice is enough). He sang with both Alex and Tim and you can tell SSK is by far the best. I think Tim is very cute and I love that he sings christian songs (though the Korean audience thinks they are just random love songs). He is probably trying on the sexy image to bring in more fans.
