Come and join the high-five craze as TriNoma and Polyeast Records give you the first-ever “high-five” experience in the country with the famous Asia's pop star KIM HYUN JOONG. With the release of his first solo mini album “Break Down”, he will be visiting the country in The Hi-Five Touch Event on August 25, 2011, 6:00 p.m. at the TriNoma Activity Center.

KIM HYUN JOONG would definitely like a high-five from you! All you got to do is buy a copy of his album at the event, hold your hand up in the air and share your happy and cool gesture to Kim as he visits Manila to high-five all his fans.

Kim Hyun Joong debuts with the album “Break down” as he displays a different persona compared to his SS501 days. Hyun Joong has taken the most generic route out of all the SS501 member's solo activities - typical synthesizer instrumentals, heavy beats and catchy choruses as well as bubblegum pop.
Kim Hyun Joon's completed his tour both in the U.S. and South Korea and later on, hit back the studio and recorded this mini-album with album producer Steven Lee.

Together with Japanese group, V6 and KAT-TUN’s producer Steven Lee, Kim Hyun Joong involved himself in the album-making just to reveal more of talent as a solo artist. "Break Down" boasts a total of six songs, with one instrumental version of the title track.

The title track “BREAK DOWN” is a powerful synthesized song with an urban style which features a stylish rapping of South Korea’s Double K; and Ken Lewis (Eminem, Kanye West, Usher and John Legend) as the single’s producer. The music video for "Break Down" was simultaneously released with the single’s digital release.

Marking his comeback to the music scene, the album also boasts the previously released single “PLEASE” in which Kim Hyun Joong portrayed a different and mature image in his music video. Other album highlights include “Intro (Let Me Go)”where Kim Hyun Joong opens with a magnificent pipe organ melody. Also in the album is the song “Kiss Kiss”another pop/ dance song but accompanied with an acoustic guitar and dance-y beat “Yes I Will.”

Aside from the Philippines, “BREAK DOWN” will also be released in South Korea, Mainland China, Taiwan, Hongkong, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia.

KIM HYUN JOONG’s solo mini-album “BREAK DOWN” is now available at all record bars nationwide exclusively distributed by PolyEast Records in cooperation with KeyEast Entertainment and CJ E&M Korea. Special thanks to TriNoma, Edsa Shangri-La, The Black Fleet, Astroplus, Sparkling, Myx and Manila Bulletin.

During the High 5 Tocuh, performances by some of today’s sought after artists in the likes of Jaco Benin, Pierro Vergara and Van Roxas will render some of their songs. Many perssonalize KHJ prizes awaits those who will be joining fun games. See you all!
