Kim Jae-joong (김재중), formerly known as Hero Jaejoong (영웅재중), is a South Korean singer-songwriter, actor, director and designer. He is a former member of the boy group TVXQ, and currently a member of the group JYJ.
He was born on January 26, 1986 in Gongju, South Chungcheong, South Korea.
In 2009, Kim and two fellow TVXQ members Park Yoochun and Kim Junsu filed a lawsuit against SM Entertainment, arguing that their exclusive contracts were unilaterally disadvantageous towards the artists and should be invalidated. The Seoul Central District Court ruled in favor of the three and granted an injunction suspending their contracts. The trio reunited and subsequently formed the group JYJ.
