As a young kid, Kim Hyun Joong excelled in his studies. He won countless math and art competitions and often ranked 1st or 2nd in his school, that his parents did not think he would become an artist. [12] During his school days, Kim was introduced to music and played bass guitar in a band.[13] He dropped out of school when he decided to become a singer.[14] After SS501's debut, nevertheless, Kim returned to school and graduated in 2006.[15]
In 2011 Kim enrolled in Chungwoon University to study stage production management.[16] He, then, enrolled into Kongju Communication Arts (KCAU) to study applied music in February 2012.
Pre-debut
Initially he was to debut in a five-member group, of which Han Yeon of B2Y (now disbanded) was to be the leader and Kim the youngest member.[17] During 2001 and 2002, while working as a waiter in a family restaurant located at Jamsil-dong, Kim was introduced to a CEO of a new set up management company. While the group underwent training together, they were asked by their company to debut in China as a Hallyu project group, but they rejected the offer and disbanded. Kim proceeded to audition for DSP Media (formerly DSP Entertainment) and became a member and the leader of SS501.[1]
2005-08: Debut with SS501 and We Got Married
Kim Hyun Joong made his entertainment debut as the leader of SS501 on June 8, 2005, along with their debut album entitled Warning.[18] Their second mini album, Snow Prince was released in late 2005, five months after their debut.[19] During this time, they also established their official fan club name, "Triple S", and its color, pearl green.[20]
The group earned popularity right away as they won many rookie awards after debut.[21] In fact, SS501 has had their first variety show, SS501 M!Pick by MNET, documenting their pre-debut days and three months after their debut.[22] At the same time, SS501 also appeared on the 2006 show Thank You For Waking Me Up,[23] which proved Kim to be a heavy sleeper.
SS501 soon promoted their first studio album S.T 01 Now.[24][25] In late 2007, they expanded their activities in the Japanese market to challenge themselves outside Korea[21] with the release of their Japanese single Kokoro,[26] along with the establishment of "Triple S Japan".[27][28] After the single debuted at #5, they had 2 more successful releases in Japan entitled Distance[29] and SS501[30] Within one year in Japan, they received the Newcomer Award by Japan Gold Disc Award in January 2008; this was the first time for Korean artists to receive this award.[31]
Having built their foundation as artists in Japan and Korea, they continually released singles and albums back-and-forth such as Deja Vu in Korea[32] and Lucky Days in Japan, both released in 2008.[30]
In May 2008, Kim joined the cast of We Got Married[33][34] along with Hwangbo in episode 9. Known as the 'Lettuce Couple', they won MBC's Best Couple Award.[35][36] The couple made their official exit from the show in episode 38 on December 14, 2008 due to scheduling conflicts with Boys Over Flowers.[37]

While working in Japan in 2008, Kim was cast for his first lead-acting role as Yoon Ji-hoo in the Korean drama Boys Over Flowers, a role for which he won the 'Best Actor Award' at the Seoul International Drama Awards 2009[4] and the 'Popularity Award' at the 45th Baeksang Arts Awards.[3] Because of his drama workload, Kim, along with his bandmate Park Jung-min who starred in a musical at the time,[38] were absent for SS501's U R Man album.[39] The three remaining SS501 members promoted by themselves at that time, with the exception of some special performances that included all five band members.
In 2009-2010, SS501 released All My Love,[40] Solo Collection,[41] Rebirth,[42][43] and Destination[44] consecutively before their contracts ended. In September 2009, Kim was diagnosed with H1N1 during promotional activities in Yokohama, Japan for Boys Over Flowers. He was treated in a Tokyo hospital and was discharged on September 15, 2009.[45] While recovering from H1N1, he could not attend the Seoul International Drama Awards; so his SS501 band mates, Heo Young-saeng, Kim Kyu-jong and Kim Hyung-jun accepted the award on his behalf.
Kim became a spokesperson for cosmetics brand Tony Moly, an established company with numerous branches all across Asia, including Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong. He ended his contract with Tony Moly at the end of September 2010 and continued to be the spokesperson for another cosmetics brand, The Face Shop.[46]

In February, it was rumored that City Conquest had been rejected by KBS for the reason that it 'lacked in quality'. The producers of the drama argued that KBS decided not to air it without any words of apology or explanation to the producers and fans even after following KBS's requirements and requests. Instead, the team accused KBS of having political reasons for pulling out the drama, which KBS denied.[93] After some time, it was announced that Kim Hyun-joong will be withdrawing from the drama and is planning to start in another drama later this year instead.[94]

On the other hand, the other members of SS501 celebrated their eight anniversary together with a video greeting message posted on their YouTube accounts individually at the same day.[104] Although Kim could not join them in the video due to his shooting on Barefooted Friends,[105] Kim Hyun Joong stated during his concert:
...It's my birthday party...and my eight anniversary as well...For me, as I always say, I feel happiest when I'm on stage where my fans can see me. I'll never forget this day I enjoyed with you.

In February 2015, Kim's girlfriend was reported to be pregnant with his child. Kim stated that he would take full responsibility if his girlfriend was found pregnant.[118] His agency later reported that his girlfriend cannot be contacted even before the issue came out, thus, they cannot confirm if the pregnancy was true.[119] On May 3 it was reported that Kim's girlfriend had filed a mass Psychological injury lawsuit against more than 100 netizens for posting malicious comments about them during their scandal.[120] On the same day, it was reported that Kim was being sued by his former girlfriend as well, for a sum of $1.48 million for the mental damages from her relations with the Kim.[121] On the following day, Kim was reported that he is going to be enlisted on May 12. Kim's lawyer said the case will not influence his attendance in the military as civil suit can go on without the concerned party, with a substitute. When the DNA checks out that he is the real father then he's going to take responsibility.[122] His lawyer also stated that they would not settle with Kim's ex-girlfriend this time.[123] On June 3, 2015, at pre-trial proceedings, Kim's ex-girlfriend did not provide any medical evidence to prove her pregnancy.[124] Kim Hyun Joong and his ex-girlfriend Ms Choi are still debating on the fatherhood of the new born baby and are yet to reveal any details about the DNA test. But speculations are rife that the results will be announced before their next court meeting, which will be held on 30 October[125]

On August 21, 2014 reports surfaced that a young woman claiming to be Kim's girlfriend had filed domestic violence charges against him claiming he assaulted her causing a fractured rib.[126][127] He was then investigated by the police,[128] but the investigation eventually stopped after his girlfriend dropped her charges against him and claimed she did that out of love without any financial settlement.[129] Kim Hyun Joong's lawyer later in 2015 revealed that his ex-girlfriend demanded a settlement of 600 Million Korean Won from Kim in order for her to drop the charges and Kim did pay her.[130] He was later fined 5 million won by the Seoul Prosecutor's office after Kim claimed that they had a mutual physical fight once,[131] but three of the four charges were dropped as they were unable to be directly linked to Kim.[132] Kim Hyun Joong's lawyer later re-opened the assault case and requested evidence from hospitals, it showed that the injury Kim's ex-girlfriend (Choi) claimed and showed medical certificate for were actually caused by working out in gym.[133] On a TV celebrity news show on Sunday, Kim’s father, Kim Hong-seong, said, “We hope a court will decide whether my son or his ex-girlfriend will provide a better environment for the child.”
A lawyer for Kim’s ex-girlfriend, identified by her surname Choi, said last Monday that Kim, 29, who was drafted in May to serve 21 months in the military, and Choi confirmed at Seoul National University College of Medicine that Kim was the father of the child with 99.9 percent accuracy.
