Kim Hyun Joong seemed to have found his new hobby amid his hiatus in the industry.
Best known for his role as Yoon Ji Hoo in the hit K-drama "Boys Over Flowers" with Lee Min Ho, Kim Bum, Kim Joon, and Ku Hye Sun, the 37-year-old actor is spending most of his time in a rural region.
Kim Hyun Joong surprised his fans with a life update upload on his YouTube channel.
Trading his glamorous life as an actor and singer, he often features his life at the farm as he gets down and dirty doing agricultural work.
In a segment for his vlog, titled "No Answers," Kim Hyun Joong was very hands-on with the task as he started small-scale farming.
Kim Hyun Joong Shows Off Life as a Farmer
Working alongside the village chief, he is making sure that everything falls into the right order.
In one instance, Kim Hyun Joong was driving the tractor himself, plowing the soil in preparation for his specialty farm.
"Farming has become genuinely serious," he commented, which only shows how immersed he is in his new business.
According to him, he acquired the land for 200 million KRW or 144,600 USD after receiving a recommendation in 2007; however, real estate experts revealed that the price was steep and would be hard for him to sell for 30 million won.
This might be the reason he decided to push through with the farming and turn it into an income generating property. As for him, he plans to grow corn on this piece of land.
Meanwhile, netizens couldn't help but get surprised and gush over Kim Hyun Joong's new life outside of show business. They praised out the actor's simplicity, and how he managed to overcome many difficulties in his life.
In addition to this, fans said that they are looking forward to more episodes on his vlog, showing his agricultural life.
Meanwhile, in 2022, Kim Hyun Joong announced his plans to get married.
At the time, TV Daily reported that the "Boys Over Flowers" star was set to marry his non-celebrity girlfriend, who he described as his "best friend."
Since it was during the COVID-19 pandemic, Kim Hyun Joong and his bride agreed not to hold a wedding ceremony.
Following this, his agency, Henecia, released a statement confirming the actor's decision to tie the knot.
"Since his future spouse is not a celebrity, we have been cautious in releasing the news, so we ask for people's understanding and also that people refrain from excessive speculation."
In the same year, the singer-actor and his wife welcomed a healthy baby boy on October 29.
