Recently Kim Hyun Joong has turned to become on par (in terms of advertising modelling ambassador fees) as Hanryu star Bae Yong Joon. He isn't losing out to Bae Yong Joon in any way now.

[Q] How many adverts have you roughly shot for until now (in 2010)
[Hyun Joong] About 4~5 (sure~~~~~ more than that!!!)

[Q] Who will be the happiest in receiving the $$?
[Hyun Joong] First and foremost of course me. And then agency (he laughs). And the people who reaps the most...should be the people around me (right)
