After making his debut as the leader of the group SS501, KIM Hun-Joong has released over 10 albums and joined the ranks of the Korean Wave Stars due to his popularity throughout Asia. As a result of a new contract he signed in June 2010 with his current agency, he became independent from the group. Both an actor and a singer, he showed off his acting skill in the KBS2 drama <Boys over Flowers> as Yoon Ji-Hoo, who is softly charismatic and loves the main female character Geum Jan-Di. Afterwards, he took on the role of the genius but cold-hearted Baek Seung-Jo, who can read 20,000 letters and memorize 400 words per minute. In June 2011, he released his first solo mini album <Break Down> and much is expected of him as an actor and a singer.
