Kim Hyun Joong is a South Korean singer and actor. Born on June 6, 1986, he is the leader and main rapper for the boy band SS501. After making his acting debut in 2005, it was his role as Yoon Ji Hoo in the 2009 hit television drama “Boys Over Flowers” that catapulted him to fame. He also has starred in the very popular “Playful Kiss” (2010), for which he won the Popularity Award at the 45th Baeksang Arts Awards, and “Inspiring Generation” (2014). Starting in 2014, Kim Hyun Joong was embroiled in several years of controversy after his ex-girlfriend accused him of assault and then gave birth to his child. After serving his mandatory two-year military service from March 2015 to 2017, Kim Hyun Joong made his comeback in the 2018 drama “When Time Stopped.” In 2020, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Kim Hyun Joon, stating that the charges brought against him were both fraudulent and defamatory, as the evidence brought against him had been clearly falsified. Though his public reputation was severely damaged as a result of the ongoing lawsuits, Kim Hyun Joong has rallied since the 2020 verdict, releasing two solo albums, holding an online concert, and taking the lead role in the film, “Indian Pink” (2021).
