Former SS501 member and actor Kim Hyun Joong has taken on a new role - as a farmer.

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

In the accompanying photo, Kim Hyun Joong is seen wearing a hat designed to block the sunlight, looking every bit the part of a typical farmer.

Kim Hyun Joong expressed his respect for those who work sincerely 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 has faced several legal battles in the past. In 2014, he was embroiled in assault allegations from his former girlfriend and a paternity lawsuit regarding a child his former girlfriend gave birth to.

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.'

As Kim Hyun Joong continues to share updates about his new rural life, fans are eagerly awaiting more stories and are sending their love and support to the singer.
