But it continues to surprise me that his popularity even soars high and making him as a solo artist one of the most successful so far against the popular groups. We know how difficult it is to make it as a [successful] solo artist but Hyun Joong makes it seem piece of cake. I for one will not assume it is because of his beautiful face, but rather the whole package, the entertainer who give his all while performing and of course let's not forget the dedication he puts into while preparing for every single event, in this case, making the album.
Reading that he had beaten DBSK, who is so popular in Japan, in terms of album sales first day, I was awed! Chongmal, chongmal, chongmal daebak!
Well, the news about the HEAT release in Japan and the Guerrilla Concert that took place on the same day...

This beats Kim Hyun Joong’s own record for his Japanese debut album “Kiss Kiss/Lucky Guy” that sold 72,000 copies. But, it also beat DBSK’s record. In January, DBSK’s “Why” had sold 133,000 copies on the day of its release.
