Kim Joon unveils his solo effort
by javabeans
Boys Before Flowers star Kim Joon (or Kim Jun), also known as the rapper of three-member pop group T-Max, is about to launch his first solo song. On July 7, he released the teaser video for his upcoming single, “준비 OK” — the title literally translates to “Ready OK” but is also a play on his own name, reading “Jun Be OK.”
The video shows Kim Joon putting on a tougher face than he showed as his gentle, friendly Woo-bin character in Boys Before Flowers, and also features BBF buddy Kim Hyun-joon.
The song “Jun Be OK” was composed by famous songwriter and music PD Hwang Sung-jae; Kim Joon wrote the lyrics himself. The track goes on sale on July 9 as part of T-Max’s new album, “Single Collection,” which features each member in a song of his own.
(I can’t decide if I think the video is cool or funny. I’m not sure if this was the intent, but after seeing the guys acting in the drama, it sorta looks like goofy, campy fun to me. But hey, that’s not a bad thing.)

@ #5 wasn't he recently hospitalized for lack of rest? Anyway I can't see Kim hyun joong as anything but his f4 image, it's weird to see him like this, all suave and not alien like.

i dunno why but I expected it to be him dressed up hip hop style and waving around say "yo yo bro!"
Pretty boy bandish and unexpected for some reason for me!
he looks damn yummy that's for sure :-D

Okay, I think the video is kind of awesome. Kim Hyun Joon bored me in BoF, but his new hair is adorable. And maybe a little hot. I'll have to give the whole song a listen when it's out...

i like the song but kim hyun joong, imo, still looks awkward. kim joon can pull off the fierce look but khj...reminds me of the eye popping act...sigh.
oh, so that means he's still in t-max. i thought he left them.

looking at the picture of the three guys...I think that's how you can tell if someone has had eyelid surgery. When a person with real double eyelids looks down....you can't see a line (like Kim Joon's) while the other two guys...you can see a distinct line on each of their eyelids...it's still there when their eyes are closed and/or looking down.

Somehow the hand motions with the serious face was a bit funny, but I'm so happy to see this!
I'm happy that Kim Joon is doing something with his music career while his popularity is still high (since before BOF, T-Max was pretty unknown, so it's good that while they have popularity, they do SOMETHING)
But it's sad that Hyun Joong is here. Love him, but now they just seem like F4 :O F4 still lives, but what about the other members of their own groups?
@11: Yeah, that's one way. But it's not always accurate. For example, I'm born with double lids (half Korean) but my double eye lids have a very deep line.. in a way, so that when I close my eyes, you can still see a noticeable line (people who think I'm Korea assume I had double eye lids despite the fact it's natural and I'm half).
But some people naturally have double lids with noticeable deep lines ^^'''

he barely did any singing when he was part of t-max, don't think doing a solo song should be his new "thing" -- if anything, he should act more! i liked his acting in bof.

@14...hmm interesting...thanks for the tidbit. I just heard that through some friends and I had to test my own eyes by taking pictures through my webcam to see if it was true. I was born with double eyelids but when I look down...they completely disappear...the line is gone. I guess it just depends on the person. I have a friend who gets double eyelids sometimes...and they're gone other days.

Yeap. I have double eyelids too and the line sort of stays no matter what. If that helped. Anyway there were some pretty slick dance moves in there ^^

I'm wondering what happen to the three BBF starts. It seems Kim Joon has been in the news lately; Andre Kim fashion show and now his solo song. When are they coming up with thier own?

I was too busy ogling the F2 that I wasn't able to catch the funny moments, whatever they are.
I really miss F4! And BBF (sans Jandi, the least alpha female of all three BBF versions, to put it euphemistically). This MV placates my thirst for them, at least.
Kim Hyun-joong is still smokin' hot. I hope he keeps his hair short in the long run—just realised long locks don't really bring out his best feature, his eyes.

the song sounds catchy!
And it sounds like jpop instead of kpop. But whenever I look at Kim Joon, I just think 'Japan!'. He looks japanese, I don't know why.
Anyway, I wish him the best. I liked his performance in 'Boys over flowers' and I liked all t-max songs I've heard (except for 'Paradise').
cheers!

haha. lol abt the double eyelid thingy.
maybe i sound sarcastic or bitter...but i don't think Minchul n Yunhwa did such things....if they did, then Kimjoon would be the same.
but Kimjoon fangirls would definitely go n say 'OMG! YEAH my oppa would never do that! yay!"
haha, nah....
anyway, thanks for the news.
and btw, T-Max IS NOT Korean version of Arashi.
they're just Arashi's fanboys.
n omg. the MV does look funny. haha.
good to hear him sing, but i'm still more drawn to Minchul's n Yunhwa's solo
thank you Joon, for staying with Minchul n Yunhwa, b'cuz the three are so awesome together....
now, gotta wait for T-Max song..
