Hallyu star Kim Hyunjoong's debut Japanese album "Kiss Kiss/Lucky Guy" has gone gold in Japan after a mere two weeks. This news was made known by Japan's Record Association on February 10th.

"Gold" is a label that signals sales of a hundred thousand albums and above. An award was presented to Kim Hyunjoong on February 10th, in a ceremony that also saw Korean girl group KARA receiving their triple platinum award for their second regular album, "Super Girl."

Kim Hyunjoong's award is particularly significant because of the short span of time in which it achieved its gold status. According to sales figures, 70,812 copies were sold on the first day alone, immediately placing it in second on the Oricon charts.

"Kiss Kiss/Lucky Guy" also broke records with its daily sales.

Meanwhile, his live concert at Yokohama Arena on February 5th saw more than twenty thousand fans in attendance. Kim Hyunjoong stated then, "Thank you for showing so much interest in a newcomer like me."
