100710 Nanyang News: Brian has fallen in with Malaysian womenSource: http://www.nanyang.com.my/entertainment/entertainment_articleDetail.asp?type=E&ID=165541&sID=7&cID=14 [translated by: Brian Joo Canadian Fans] Kuala Lumpur, July 10th - His first time coming to Malaysia, Joo Min Kyu (Brian), talked about the World Cup at the press conference on Saturday. For Monday's Spain vs. The Netherlands World Cup finals, he stated that he would support The Netherlands. The reason is that he has a lot of friends from The Netherlands. At the same time, he didn't forget to apologize to the fans who were supporting Spain! Has a good feeling about The Netherlands winning the World Cup Originally set to start at 12:00pm, the press conference was delayed till 1:10pm. Sporting a creative red-haired look, as soon as Brian appeared, he spoke in Malay, "Minta maaf!" He apologized to the media present. Then, he went on to say, "Apa khabar?" to greet everyone. Moreover, he used fluent English to answer the media's questions throughout the press conference. It's a shame that he did not speak any Korean while he was there, which made the Korean ajumma* who were present feel quite disappointed. [*Translator Note: Generic term in Korean to refer to "aunties"] Brian said, "After Fly to the Sky went solo, this is the first time for me to come to Malaysia as a soloist to have a fanmeeting. Usually, overseas activities are based on invitations from record companies. However, this time was very different. It was a fan who had e-mailed an invitation to my manager. So, I decided to come to Malaysia to meet the fans." In addition, he praised Malaysian women for being sweet, cute, and beautiful. He even laughed loudly in excitement after saying this! Sacrificing delicious food to maintain physique Arriving on Thursday* afternoon, Brian tweeted on Twitter to say that he was enjoying some "bak kut teh*." When asked how was the taste, he said, "I don't know what I ate yesterday... But I to eat!" When asked further how he maintains his physique, he said, "Once in a while, I have to sacrifice delicious food and eat more healthy food. For example, things like salads. I'll also work out at the gym."[*Translator Note: Incorrect information. Brian arrived in Malaysia on Friday, July 9th. || "bak kut teh" From Anthony: The soup smells really nice and it's full of herbs. Other than the meat, there are also pork intestines, liver, stomach, tongue, vegetables, and some garlic. Usually, you eat it with rice.] After leaving the group*, Brian released his first solo album in 2006. When asked whether he would feel lonely doing solo activities, he expressed, "Since being a soloist from 2006 till now, I've gotten used to it. I can't always wish that Fany (former* group member) is by my side. And I can't sing Fly to the Sky songs on my own since we have to match our emotions when performing the song." [*Translator Note: The group Fly to the Sky is still intact. They have not broken up.] Hopes to have a concert in Malaysia Being active on variety shows a while ago, "In My Head" took Korea by a storm at the beginning of the year. This song was originally by Jason Derülo. Brian is a fan of Jason himself. After Jason Derülo watched Brian's performances on YouTube, he was full of praise! He even came to Korea to meet with Brian. They clicked after meeting for the first time. And they still keep in touch even now. Brian revealed that he hopes that he would have the opportunity to have an Asian tour in the future. If there are any organizers who would like to invite him, he would undoubtedly consider coming to Malaysia to have a concert.

100710 LifeTV: Brian Joo arrived late because of fans Source: http://www.lifetv.com.my/node/23109 Recently, the "Korean wind" has been blowing strongly in Malaysia. The past few weeks had Korean groups U-Kiss and Beast coming to Malaysia. And now, even the entertainer who is the best at "Sexy Dance" in Korea, Brian Joo (Joo Min Kyu), has come on July 10th, under the invitation of die-hard fans who did this by taking money out of their own pockets. He is here in Malaysia for a press conference and to meet with the fans. However, being in Malaysia for the first time at The Opera located at Sunway Pyramid for the press conference, Brian showed up an hour late, making the media just waiting there. According to the host, Brian was already at the venue for quite some time, but wanted everyone to wait a bit. So, does that mean Korean entertainers are all so "arrogant"*? [*Translator Note: Meaning having a big "star" attitude.] For Brian's first time in Malaysia, he was sporting a sharp-looking "Rooster Head" as he appeared at the press conference. Wearing a simple jacket and black T-shirt, he looked especially easy-going. And there was no sign of the "arrogance/attitude" shown by some other Korean entertainers who make a lot of requests. Nevertheless, the press conference that was originally set for 12:00pm was delayed by almost one hour and fifteen minutes. For his late arrival, Brian did not explain much. The first thing that he said was, "Minta maaf." ("Sorry" in Malay.) When the reporters investigated further, the reason that Brian arrived late was the fans! Not picky; "Caucasian"* personality [*Translator Note: Meaning very open, easy-going, etc. Not meant to be offensive in any way.] The truth was that Brian did not intentionally arrive late. As a Korean born in the United States, Brian felt nervous about coming to Malaysia for the first time. He did not well on July 9th at the hotel that he was staying at. And he was worried about the mini showcase taking place on the 10th after the press conference. According to sources, Brian was already rehearsing at the venue by 10:00am on the 10th. Being very strict on all aspects, especially the music and lighting, he rehearsed numerous times and did not stop until just before the press conference at 12:00pm. This was so he could display his best self and give his 100% to the fans who like him. After the rehearsal, he went to the Sunway Pyramid mall to find a place to freshen up and to wash away the dripping sweat on his body. Hence, he did not show up at the press conference till 1:15pm.Upon further investigation, even though Brian is obsessed about being clean (a.k.a. a neat freak), all the staff who have worked with him all gave him the thumbs-up and said that he is very friendly and does not have an attitude. According to sources, Brian, who arrived in Malaysia on July 9th, was accompanied by the organizer to a Korean restaurant. However, Brian, who is not picky, said, "Why are we having Korean food in Malaysia?" Brian must have heard from other Korean entertainers who have been to Malaysia that if he comes here, he must try Malaysian food. A reporter asked, "Yesterday, you had the Malaysian food "bak kut teh"? He said, "I'm not too sure what it was, but it was really good!" He even said that he really loves to eat. But if he eats too much, then he would stay at the gym for a long time. Being an entertainer, maintaining a good physique is a must! [*Translator Note: "bak kut teh" From Anthony: The soup smells really nice and it's full of herbs. Other than the meat, there are also pork intestines, liver, stomach, tongue, vegetables, and some garlic. Usually, you eat it with rice.] Whatever was asked got answered At the press conference, Brian answered all the questions that were posed. Besides expressing that Malaysian women are very sweet and kind, he is also very thankful for the fans who have been supporting him all this time. Five years ago, he never thought that he would come to Malaysia to have a fanmeeting. But thanks to his fans' invitation to come here, he was able to realize this dream. He also promised that he would work hard to do his best for the fans. As for his new single "In My Head", when asked about his collaboration with American artist, Jason Derülo, he expressed that he is a huge fan of Jason. After discussing things, both, without hesitation, worked together very happily. Brian said, "We still keep in touch often these days." Brian Joo held a mini showcase at 3:00pm after the press conference and witnessed the passion of Malaysian fans.
