This K-pop star, known as the “OG heartthrob,”shocked netizens when he revealed his new role as a corn farmer, leading to him becoming the target of mockery.
Kim Hyun Joong Ventures into Corn Farming for His YouTube Channel
Despite transitioning from being a member of SS501 to an actor, Kim Hyun Joong recently shared an update on his current role as a corn farmer. While this may be viewed as a respectable occupation, some individuals have chosen to mock him.
In his latest social media post, Kim Hyun Joong uploaded photos of his rural lifestyle with the caption, “My unexpected journey into country life.”
Kim Hyun Joong is captured in the published photo, gazing directly at the camera while sporting a sun-blocking hat. His appearance resembles that of a regular farmer, drawing attention to his humble appearance.
Despite his “prince-like”image during his heyday, fans were genuinely surprised by his recent transformation. Even during his time as a member of SS501 and an actor, he was adored for his handsome appearance.
During that period, he gained recognition for his remarkable performances as Yoon Ji Hoo in “Boys Over Flowers”and Baek Seung Jo in “Mischievous Kiss.”
Kim Hyun Joong, dressed in farming attire and without any facial covering, proceeded to say:
“I sincerely respect those who are engaged in agriculture. Please check out my rural story on YouTube. When the corn is fully grown, I will share it with my subscribers.”
In addition, his supporters enthusiastically encouraged him, stating:
- “I hope your farming content goes well.”
- “I’m looking forward to your corn.”
Kim Hyun Joong Ridiculed After Taking Up Farming
Conversely, there are internet users who are ridiculing him for his choice to pursue a career as a corn farmer.
In the comments section, online commenters mocked him, stating:
- “This farmer sure likes to spread his seed.”
- “He did a good job of spreading his seeds, so it feels like he’s a good fit for farming.”
- “Is his corn big?”
- “A farmer who wears Oakley sunglasses.”
- “He’s a corn farmer because he likes knocking teeth.”
- “You should eat corn so I can knock your kernels out.”
- “I’m not going to eat his corn even if you pay me.”
Specifically, the remarks indirectly refer to the assault case involving Kim Hyun Joong and his former girlfriend.
In 2014, he became entangled in a legal dispute when his ex-girlfriend accused him of assault. Concurrently, he was also dealing with a paternity case regarding a child who was claimed to be his by his ex-girlfriend.
Despite ongoing legal proceedings, he was ultimately found not guilty of assault, with his cell phone playing a crucial role as evidence.
Although it was confirmed that the child born to his ex-girlfriend was his biological child, it was later reported that Kim had assaulted her and caused her to experience a miscarriage and abortion.
Despite his efforts, his image was ultimately tarnished in March 2017 when he was arrested for drunk driving.
In the year 2022, he had his first encounter with his son, which unfortunately did not go smoothly. Reports claimed that Kim, who had not been paying child support for 8 years, attempted to lessen the amount. However, the celebrity quickly denied these allegations.
In October 2022, Kim Hyun Joong’s second son was born, the same year he reunited with and married his first love at the age of 14.
As he attempted to create his perfect family, certain netizens sympathized with his eldest son and expressed their thoughts in writing:
- “Is he 11 years old (Korean age) now? He will be hitting puberty soon. If you’re reading this, you’ll know that everything was the adults’ fault and you should always be protected, think pretty thoughts, and grow your dreams. You deserve to be happy more than anyone else, so I hope only good things happen to you always.”
