My Take
Kim Hyung-jun came up as the youngest member and lead rapper of SS501, which is no small pedigree, and what interests me is how he handled the post-group years. Leaving DSP Media in 2010, joining S-Plus, and debuting solo with My Girl in 2011 took nerve. The K-pop machine rarely makes room for idols to grow into adult performers, yet he's kept juggling music, acting, modeling and musical theatre. That kind of persistence in an industry that chews up talent says more to me than any single hit. The boyish face hides a stubborn worker.
