Up next was Leader Kim Hyun Joong, whom the audience had been anticipating.
Once he was up on stage, the audience started waving their lightsticks and fans. As "Hyun Joong" was difficult to pronounce, everyone was shouting "Leader, Leader" instead. Kim Hyun Joong greeted everyone in fluent Japanese, "I'm very glad to see everyone here today, regardless if I've seen you before, or if this is our first meeting."
Kim Hyun Joong prepared a special present, which was his guitar performance. He played the song he played for Jan Di in "Boys over Flower", winning him the cheers of the fans. But as he was too nervous, he NG-ed twice. However, fans would always shout "It's ok" in Korean to an embarrassed Kim Hyun Joong, and he managed to finish his performance.
In the subsequent interview, he was asked "If you fell in love with your friend's girlfriend, just like in the drama, what would you do?" Kim Hyun Joong replied, "If I really like the girl, I'll go for it", "But that girl mustn't be Jung Min's girlfriend..." His reply caused laughter among the audience. When asked, "Why not Jung Min's girlfriend", Kim Hyun Joong replied, "He's too scary", again causing the audience to laugh.
With regards to interesting happenings during filming, Kim Hyun Joong said, "In New Caledonia, if you hurt a lizard accidentally, you'll be deported. So we spent most of our filming time looking at the ground."
During the fan meeting, Kim Hyun Joong also had performances with the other members of SS501.

Yesterday the Korean [Boys Over Flowers] F4 Lee Min Ho, Kim Hyun Joong, Kim Bum, Kim Joon and female lead Koo Hye Sun held a fans meeting and press conference in Tokyo. Following Taiwan and Japan filming the television drama of this, the "Boys Over Flowers craze" has once again been set off in Japan.
Lee Min Ho loves to spend, blames drama for stirring up trouble
Yesterday the Korean "Boys Over Flowers" cast members held two fans activities in the afternoon and at night. One event had 3000 people, with an entrance ticket costing $10,500 JPY (approx. $3590 NTD); in one day they made a total of $21,540,000 NTD. There were media from over 100 companies at the press conference that evening, this was most surprising in comparison to other Korean stars who have come to promote in Japan lately. The Japanese media seems to still be very supportive of the "Boys Over Flowers" name.
Lee Min Ho who acts as male lead Gu Jun Pyo in the drama (originally known as Domyoji Tsukasa) appeared dressed in white like Prince Charming. He joked saying, because his character in the drama was very rich, personally he has also developed a habit of spending money.
Kim Hyun Joong reveals he isn't gentle, afraid this will shock people
Kim Hyun Joong said many people think that he is similar to his character (originally known as Hanazawa Rui), that he speaks just as gently but in fact, the real him is not like that, he hopes everyone won't be shocked at hearing this.
Lee Min Ho said even though there are already Taiwanese and Japanese versions, the Korean version has a different taste, and also has many interesting little insert tracks, he hopes that everyone will like it; while Kim Hyun Joon said the plot for the Korean version is more realistic and the love aspect is portrayed much more deeply; Goo Hye Sun supported this saying, the Korean "Boys Over Flowers" presents Korean emotions not found in the Taiwanese or Japanese version, so everyone can notice and compare them.
Koo Hye Sun who was surrounded by 4 handsome guys, had her head down all along, nervous; she said she has always been very shy. However, due to the very cheerful personality of the female lead, she has been influenced and has now become much more lively compared to before.

After the filming for KBS drama Boys Over Flowers ends, the main cast for the drama will all make a visit to the hospital.
The first one will be ‘Korea’s Sunbae’ Kim Hyun Joong. During the first half the drama’s filming, Kim Hyun Joong has met with an car accident, but because the filming schedule was tight back then, he had refused the complete treatment, so after the filming ends, he will have complete treatment for his injuries.
His representative said,”He will be hospitalised from beginning of April. He will undergo treatment and close examination for his accident back then, and also have enough rest from the busy filming. He may be hospitalised for as long as a month.”
“He complaint that discomfort at his waist area and he couldn’t walk properly after the accident. He will undergo complete treatment so that the injury will not hinder his promotional activities as a singer.”
While for Lee Min Ho, he will also be hospitalised mid-May to undergo a surgery to remove the metal support frame in his leg.
His representative said, “After his London photoshoot and Japanese activities end, he will be hospitalised to undergo the surgery. And then he will hold a birthday party cum fanmeeting in June.”
There are also plans for a full-body examination for Goo Hye Sun, who had her lips sewed after a car accident during filming.
Her representative said, “Her lips had swelled a lot. And with the accumulation of fatigue from her previous activities in the past years and also the car accident this time during filming, this will be a good chance for her to go for a full-body check up. We will want to check if there is anything not right about her healthy at all.”

Lee Min-ho to release a digital single
Huh. Boys Before Flowers star Lee Min-ho is pairing with well-known songwriter Park Geun-tae to release a digital single. A “famous female rapper” is also reportedly featured on the track.
Guess he’s not about to let his co-star Gu Hye-sun have all the fun packing her resumé with other activities. Not only will a single be sold, an accompanying music video will be shot (it’s still being cast, but the director has been selected).
Although Lee will be singing the track, don’t consider it a foray into a kpop career; it’s more like a fancy CF. This comes as part of an ad campaign for Cass beer, for which Lee is brand model.
As we know, Korea’s got a pretty good track record in the branded entertainment field. The people behind this project express hope of creating another sensation like the uber-popular series of Anymotion/Anyclub cell phone adverts a few years ago that starred Lee Hyori and Eric. Those were more like mini-movies than commercials in scope, and also released digital singles.
Counter to Lee’s arrogant onscreen image from BBF — or even his shy offscreen one — the song is being described as “exuberant club dance music.” The gist of the song lyrics paints Lee as an innocent guy who gets seduced by a woman (they’re currently casting for his female partner). The director, Cha Eun-taek, was also the man behind Hyori’s “Anymotion” and “U Go Girl” videos.
