Q: How do you feel about coming back to Thailand?
A: Personally, I always want to come back for traveling but now when I have such a huge wellcome, I feel really happy

Q: where do you want to take your parent to?
A: I was really surprised because I dont think they will come with me. All 27 years of my life, I always disappoint them and never give any good preasant to them. This time is really fortunate that they can come with me. I want to spend time with them, take they to eat delicious food and show them nice place in Thailand

Q: Where do you want to take them to?
A: I haven’t planned yet. Thailand really has so many places to see. I’m having fun by just think about it but still have no idea about the places.

Q: Can you tell us about feeling visiting Thailand this time
A: The most impressive thing is of course, the food. I’ve been to many countries ie Japan, China. Each country has their own greatness but I like Thai food the most. And when I go back to Korea, I’ll tell my friends to try Thai food. Also, I like Thai people because they are kind. I really happy to come back this time

Q: Have you taken your parent to try Thai food?
A: Of course, last night we had a really big dinner. Most Korean cannot eat Thai parsley when they try it for first time but I can eat a whole dish of it. So I feel quite weird but I like Thai parsley. Thai food is really delicious.

Q: Is there any chance to film a drama or movie in Thailand?
A: Two years ago when JooJiHoon and MinHyorin filmed Goong here, I really envy them. I want to come to Thailand as it has so many beutiful things and places. If I have a chance, I’ll definitely film a drama or movie here.

Q: Is there any chance that you will sing for Thai fans?
A: Thai language is hard to pronounce but I love to sing in every language no matter Japanese or else. However, this year I must spend time to film a drama so it might be difficult to sing this year. But I really want to sing in Thai so if there a chance, you might be able to listen.

Q: Between singer and actor, which one is closet to you?
A: This is a tough question like between mom and dad, who you prefer? I started as a singer around 5-6 years before being an actor. Therefore, singing is easier for me including expression and all. Although now I learn acting, it is still new for me so I feel that acting is more challenge and has more to learn than singing. I feel I a little bit prefer acting.

Q: Why you decide to meet and greet fans this time?
A: At first, I just think about travelling in Thailand but by chance, I was contacted to shoot as a model in one magazine and have a meeting with Thai fans too. So I think I will go to Thailand anyway, I should also work and bring my parents for vacation.

Q: You like Thailand this much, do you plan to live here?
A: I really like Thailand and I have discussed with my friends many years ago. We want to earn a lot of money and buy a house here. Although I cant live here all the time, I want to make it my second home. But it is very hot here, I will love it more if it is not this hot.

Q: Do you like Thai girls?
A: The more you ask, the deeper it is. (laughing) I like Thai girls because they look good, beautiful, not too tall (ShenYue: excuse me? what is that supposed to mean?) and everyone has good shape. It is the style that Korean men like. The faces are variety. Some look like Chinese, some look like Malay And on the street, some wear white shirt and black skirt. I ask them whether they in hi-school. They said no but they are University students. So I feel they look really good and educated because University students in other countries including Korea will wear only casual clothes.

Q: What do you prepare for “A Special Night with Kim Jeong Hoon”?
A: I can only tell you a bit. I will sing in many languages, songs from second Japanese single, Korean songs and an English song that I really like. If you want to know more, see me in A Special Night with Kim Jeong Hoon.

Q: what are your hobbies?
A: I am addicted to computer games. Korean computer games are not just for children, they are also for adults. I spend most of the time in front of computer so my mom always shouts at me to go to bed.

Q: Do you have anyone on your mind?
A: I wish. I used to have a girlfriend but when there were lots of works, there were also lots of responsibility. So I didn’t have time for her and our relationship was not good. I don’t have girlfriend for really long time, so I’m 100% single. (ShenYue! same here ^^)

Q: what do you feel when it rains and what song you like to hear during raining?
A: Yesterday when I left airport during unpacking, it was raining really hard and long until tonight. I was shock because I heard Thailand has raining season but I didn’t expect to see it so soon. I think it is a charm of Thailand because I’ve never seen this heavy raining. I like to listen to Jazz, Ballad and sad love songs during the rain.

Q: Can you speak Thai to Thai fans?
A: Ah… it’s difficult……….. Sawasdee Krub Phom KimJeongHoon Krub Kid Tung Mak Mak Krub Phom Ruk Khun (hello, I’m KimjeongHoon. Miss you very much and I love you.)

Q: Who are your idols for acting and for singing?
A: For my ideal actor, I like the one who besides from good looking also has talent which is able to play very well in any role.(ShenYue! How Ironic!) For Korean actor, I like ShinHaKwon. For Hollywood one, I like Edward Norton whom although has ordinary look, he can play to the heart of any role. For me, I just start my actor career, so there are much more to learn.

Q: Can you sing a little bit for Thai fans?
A: It is my 2nd Japanese single song. I’ve just finished recording in Japan. After that I went to Korea 1 day and suddenly came to Thailand. I’ll sing it now. ~singing~ (lots of applauds from Thai reporters.)

Q: What do you bring for bidding?
A: Tell now is not exciting. I keep it as a secret but you can bid it in the ceremony. I prepared quite lots.

Q: Heard that you will play football with Thai celebrities, is that true?
A: I don’t know, haven’t seen the schedule. I haven’t accepted the invitation for next month’s football match.

Q: Where have you been in Thailand since you come here quite often? And where impress you most?
A: I’ve been to RCA (Thai nightclub street) I was very excited. There were clubs and bars along the road and every club and bar was jammed with people, both Thais and foreigners. They were dancing insanely but I didn’t go inside because it was so fulled.

Q: What do you feel with Songkran festival (Splashing water to others in hot summer festival) ?
A: I heard it is when Thais splashing water and the time that the elders bless for their children and grand children and it is the festival that has Thai traditional knowledge which people play with water because it is hot and the water can help release hot temperature. I think it is a good festival. Next year I want to come back for this fest.

Q: Will you sing UN songs in “A Special Night with Kim Jeong Hoon”
A: In this showcase, there will be meet and greet with fans and show some songs. It is not like a concert. So if I gonna sing Korean song, I want to sing well-known OST. But next time if there will be a concert, I will sing more songs.
