Former SS501 member and actor Kim Hyun Joong has transformed into a farmer.

On May 1, Kim Hyun Joong posted a message on his social networking service, saying, "Rural life that started by chance."

In the photo, Kim Hyun Joong is wearing a hat designed to block the sunlight and is looking at the camera. Attention is focused on his appearance, which resembles that of a typical farmer.

Kim Hyun Joong expressed his respect for those who sincerely work in agriculture, saying, "I respect those who are engaged in agriculture." He added, "Please check out my rural story on YouTube. When the corn grows, I will share it with my subscribers."

Netizens responded with comments such as "I hope your farming content does well" and "Looking forward to the corn."

Meanwhile, Kim Hyun Joong was embroiled in legal battles in 2014 due to assault allegations from his former girlfriend. He also stirred controversy with a paternity lawsuit regarding the child his former girlfriend gave birth to. Continuing the legal battle, he was acquitted of assault charges as his cellphone provided crucial evidence. However, the child was confirmed to be his through paternity testing.

In March 2017, while serving in the military, Kim Hyun Joong was caught driving under the influence, stirring controversy once again.

Debuting with the group SS501 in 2005, Kim Hyun Joong is currently active as a solo singer and actor. Last year in February, he also released his third studio album, 'MY SUN.'
