Subject: Jang Geun Suk Wants to Volunteer in Japan's Disaster Areas? Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:50 am
Korean actor Jang Geun Suk wants to help Japanese people as a volunteer in Japan's disaster areas. On his official Japanese web page, it was revealed that the actor himself wanted wants to go to the disaster area very much as a volunteer to help out. Frau International is grateful for Jang Geun Suk’s concern but thinks that it is not feasible as his presence and popularity may lead to a more chaotic situation, so they will do what they can to stop him from volunteering in Japan now.
Furthermore, to help the Japanese victims, proceeds from the sale of his photo cards will be donated in the aid of the Japanese relief.

Subject: Japanese Non-No magazine interview Tue Mar 22, 2011 1:37 pm
Jang Keun Suk Interview JKS’ occasional lapses into Japanese, forthright laughter and honest conversation – we love it!
SING
My choice to debut as a singer Now my heart is almost jumping out! In my teens, I ever thought about whether I could cut an album. At that time, I was still searching for direction as an actor, so I didn’t have much chance. Now, after acting as a singer in my dramas, I thought I could try to be this type of singer and so, I decided to produce my solo album. I remember a line I’ve heard before – Life begins with B and ends with D. B is Birth, C is Choice and D is Death. This means that one is master of one’s life. So I have always been serious in facing the life that I have set for myself. I don’t want to give myself a chance for regrets. But frankly, releasing an album in Japan makes my heart almost jump out… The hit song is “Let me cry”, which represents my passionately burning heart, you must listen to it!
STUDY
Learning Chinese and Thai! Because I am a star!! Do I speak good Japanese? Thanks for your compliments! Since my high school days, I started learning Japanese because I like Japanese songs, dramas and movies. The thing that influenced me most is music, such as Smap, Orange Range and Ken Hirai. When I was studying in New Zealand at 16 years old, I had a Japanese friend who often taught me conversational Japanese. Now, my Japanese teacher is from Osaka, so certain phrases such as “what” and “very” have been influenced, like “hontoni” [laughs]. Recently, I’m learning Chinese and Thai. [Here JKS proceeds to introduce himself in each of these languages] Hi, everyone! I am Jang Keun Suk from Korea. I am not drunk [laughs]. Do I like learning languages? Yes, I like to. Because I am a star!! [laughs]
FAVOURITE
Pursuing sensuality in music Likes to go out alone in Japan Music is indispensable to me. Waking up in the morning to classical music is to wake up in the midst of sensuality. When I travel to Japan, I will bring big-sized speakers to play music from my iPod, which I listen to every day. I will dance when I feel high! To me, music is a necessary presence in the pursuit of sensuality in life. If I walk into a café where the music is not to my taste, I will choose to leave [laughs]. What I like to do most in Japan is to go shopping alone. In the past before “You’re Beautiful” was aired, I often went by myself to fried pork chop restaurant, or stay more than 3 hours in a games arcade. I was very happy then. It was a first time doing something by myself. It was a bit lonely but the memories were unforgettable. Of course, now I cannot do that anymore. Frankly speaking, I hope to engage in more heart-to-heart talk with my fans.
LOVE
If I fall in love, I’ll fall so deep that I won’t ever give up until my heart is broken into pieces. I like very feminine women who know how to cook, are kind-hearted and understanding. In terms of attire, I prefer women in short skirts!! Hope she wears that kind of feminine dress with a flowery lace edge. What will I do when I fall in love? Mm… I don’t know because I’ve not fallen in love before…Ah! That is not true [laughs]. I’m already an adult. If I fall in love, I’ll fall so deep that I won’t ever give up until my heart is broken into pieces. In the past, just to make my girlfriend happy, I rented a high-class limousine in Seoul to drive her around and we drank red wine in the car. When I woke up in the morning, I would tell her every day that I loved her. Although we have separated now, at least the love we had then was wonderful. We were free to express our love, maybe because we were young [laughs].
Editorial team’s survey
Want to know more about the JKS fever that has swept Asia? We did a complete background survey on him!
JKS’ profile Born on 4 Auguest 1987, blood type A. In 2006, “Hwang Jin-I” made him become a highly-anticipated new-generation actor. Last year, JKS acted as an indie band lead singer in “Marry me Mary” which will be aired in Japan this year. - JKS Japan Pony-Canyon official website
Increasing popularity in Asia Riding on the tide of “You’re Beautiful”, Jang Keun Suk’s popularity shoots up meteorically in Asia!! Last year on his performance tour in Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore, Jang Keun Suk was swamped by fans and even caused traffic congestion. At the end of last year, voting results in 4 Asian countries for the Yahoo! Buzz Asia Awards 2010 propelled JKS to win in both the “Korean Male Star” and “Asian Star” categories. He had garnered an amazing 9,718,508 votes in the “Asian Star” category. “I started liking him from ‘You’re Beautiful’. By the time I realised it, I was already very addicted. The character he played had mostly cool expressions but occasionally broke into a cute smile… and I also love his beautiful voice. I keep listening to his voice on the original soundtrack CD before I sleep,” says Non-No model.
JKS is actually an undergraduate Now in the Drama & Movies course in Hanyang University, JKS tells us, “I’m learning Artistic Directing in university. Hope that one day, I can become a director and produce my own movie.” This is his dream. There are many celebrities in university, and JKS belongs to the active type. At the school’s anniversary 2 years ago, JKS and friends organised a Lounge H event. “We didn’t ask the school for help nor get anyone to finance it. We did everything through our own hard work, and felt very happy. It was very popular. We had one event last year, and there’ll also be one this year! Now, in Seoul, my school’s anniversary is the most popular.” How wonderful it would be to attend!
Jang Keun Suk Well-suited to all types of fashion With his own unique style JKS is 182 cm tall with a figure to be proud of. The first feeling he gives people – luxurious!? Surprisingly, his muscles are very firm, just the figure that the Japanese like? In Korea, JKS is often chosen as a model for fashion brands, and photograph shoots are getting to be easy peasy for him. After many fashion styling attempts, the crew unanimously passed this – JKS with a little devilish expression on his face, yet with a touch of innocence as if a little cat is tugging at one’s heart! [i] Each different portrayal of various characters, whether it’s a rocker or hippie style, no matter what style JKS uses, it will become a fashion topic for discussion. JKS is always at the forefront of fashion. [End]

Translation:
Hi everyone, this is Tree-J.
Due to his increasingly busy schedule recently, Actor Jang’s health is deteriorating. As such, all his performances are temporarily suspended. This is the result of stress and the accumulation of exhaustion, and not of his intention. We are sorry to cause any anxiety to fans who love JKS. Hope that actor Jang can recover soon. As for his upcoming Asia Tour, we shall announce his schedule in the near future.
Thank you.

Fans – April 2011 issue
JANG KEUN SUK – BEAUTY IS NOT A SIN
The most beautiful male Korean idol Jang Keun Suk, with his slender figure and unique style, attracted the attention of fashion line Codes Combine who specially invited JKS to be their brand ambassador for 2011. Codes Combine has launched their latest Spring trendy collection. Appearing in comfortable clothes amidst ever-changing styles, JKS demonstrates the “in” look for this season!
JKS’ ambitions before his debut
From young, JKS had appeared in several commercials and has practically grown up in the showbiz business. Compared to other young idols, he has a stronger ability to adjust to this environment. Facing the media or the pursuit of fans, he always has a ready smile, thus gaining the love of the media and his fans. In addition to his dream of being a star, JKS had other childhood dreams too. “From young till senior high school, I had more than 10 ideal occupations!” JKS also ever wanted to open a shop selling streaky pork just because he liked eating it. He had also dreamed of being a doctor, thinking of what he would look like treating patients in a white robe.
Probably in his senior high school days, JKS started to become interested in snazzy cars. He would read car magazines, cut out the pictures of his dream cars and paste them on his bedroom wall to admire. One of his dreams included being the boss of a car retail centre. A speed enthusiast himself, he had also dreamed about being a professional car racer. However, maybe because JKS had been involved in shooting commercials since young, he had developed an interest in visual effects and creative work, and his other dream was to be involved in media-related work or to become a professional actor. Today, not only has his dream come true, JKS has also successfully ventured onto the international stage.
Memories of his days in New Zealand … …
While working overseas, even if JKS is not able to speak the local language fluently, he often draws on his English conversational skill to help strengthen communication and interaction, hence many people are aware that he has previously lived in New Zealand for one year. During that year, JKS has learnt to converse in English. Recalling the memories of living overseas, JKS said, “When my mother and I were in New Zealand for one year, although she cannot speak English at all, she actually attended language school together with me. I really feel that my mother is deserving of respect.”
In New Zealand, JKS got to know many classmates of other nationalities at the language school. Due to his good looks, he also had a Japanese girl classmate who confessed her love to him. JKS said there were very few girls at his language school and that Japanese girl was actually from another school. JKS shared frankly that many Korean men think that Japanese girls are very gentle, so he more or less harboured a little fantasy. Both of them liked each other, but during the first time he went out with the girl, he was scared off by the girl’s request to go steady, so he did not contact her after that. JKS said, “In a situation where both do not have sufficient understanding about the other person, how can one raise the request to go steady? After being friends and knowing each other better then can one make the decision.”
Revealing his ideal romantic type
When he looks at a girl, JKS will first look at her eyes! JKS said, “I feel that the expression in one’s eyes is very important in interaction between people. If a girl has a kind expression in her eyes, I cannot resist falling in love with her! Besides being kind, friendly and gentle, it will be great if she has fair skin and a slender neck! I like feminine girls, so I like girls who wear skirts.”
JKS has once said that if he meets a girl he loves, he can consider getting married any time. In showbiz work, the girls he comes into frequent contact with are actresses that he works with, and it may be easier for feelings to develop because of work, but JKS prefers his girlfriend not to be from the entertainment circle. “A celebrity’s work is often very busy. It’s enough that one party is so busy. The partner that I need is someone who can support me and be attentive and concerned about me and those in my life.”
Often asked by the media about his love life, JKS feels that it is very hard to find a life partner, and thinks that love is a difficult mission.
Being a “Pet lover” is not easy … …
In early March, his new movie “You’re my Pet” just had its grand opening press conference in Ibaraki, Japan, which attracted many reporters and thousands of fans in support. JKS’ original schedule to be in Ibaraki in May for filming is now affected by the large-scale earthquake disaster. JKS initially has many planned events in Japan these few months. In light of the earthquake, there has not yet been any announcement about his confirmed schedule, but having the support of many Japanese fans, JKS immediately donated 10 million yen through Japan Red Cross. JKS sincerely hopes that the earthquake victims can resume a normal, safe life as soon as possible.
When his role in “You’re my Pet” was confirmed, JKS has since worked hard to prepare for his character. Acting the role of a ballet dancer, he has actively maintained his diet and figure for 3 months consecutively, and continued practising his dance moves. When asked about his impression of the female lead Kim Ha-neul, JKS said seriously, “She is my senior. I’ve seen many of her works. The role in this movie suits her very well. Through this chance, I think I can learn a lot from her. I’m happy to become her ‘pet’.”
Talking about his good friends in showbiz … …
JKS’ good friends in showbiz are Kim Hee-chul of Super Junior and Lee Hong-ki of FT Island. When they are free, they will get together, and also share group photographs on Twitter. JKS is very happy to talk about his good friends who are also renowned Korean stars in Asia. Their work schedules are packed and they may see one another once in a long time, but they often keep in contact via phone. In addition to their frequent interaction in private life, they will also appear publicly at one another’s events despite belonging to different agent companies, such as Hee-chul inviting JKS to be his special guest for the first episode of his radio programme.
Their relationship may be good, but when it comes to keeping track of accounts, JKS does not forget! JKS, who often digs at himself for being calculating and petty, said that he will write down in his notebook the people whom he dislikes or have offended him, and he will “exact revenge” when he finds a chance to. He reveals that good friend Hong-ki has been been listed in his notebook. “Once at a gathering, Hong-ki said he would foot the bill, but he ran off before settling the bill. I will note down incidents such as these.”
Because of Hong-ki, Choi Jong Hoon of FT Island is also a good friend of JKS. Coincidentally, the last character that “You’re my Pet” announced went to Choi. Good friends sure are fated to be together, and can act in the same movie! At the press conference, JKS revealed, “It’s Jong Hoon’s first time acting. After he knew that he was confirmed, he called me many times, asking me how to prepare for his character, how to practise the script and wanted me to help. I told him, in return, he must first bring wine to pay respects to me! Haha!”
10 secrets in JKS’ life… …
(1) When he wears a formal suit and shirt, JKS will become quieter as he wants to maintain a good image. (2) If he is living on a deserted island, the things that JKS must have with him are DV, mobile phone and car. (3) If he must choose a group to join, JKS will choose FT Island or CN Blue. He did consider Super Junior before, but after some thinking, he feels the group is too big and it would be hard to stand out and get attention. (4) The places at home where he feels most comfortable in are his bedroom and kitchen. (5) Once he has time, JKS cannot stay away from his mobile phone. Currently using iPhone, he sends about 400 or 500 messages a day to keep in contact with friends and family. (6) Although JKS likes drinking and has capacity for liquor, he will get a headache when he drinks red wine. (7) The most horrifying incident in JKS’ life was 2 years ago when he was driving along the expressway. It was raining and his car skidded off the road. His car was completely destroyed but luckily he was not injured at all. (8) JKS thinks that it is not possible to have pure friendship between guys and girls. (9) If JKS does not have a mobile phone and car in his life, he doesn’t know how to live. (10) JKS currently has two cars – a sport utility vehicle for daily transport and a sports car for his speed enjoyment.
Advertisement Photo Shoot: Behind-the-scenes
Codes Combine has invited JKS and Kim Og Bin to be their brand ambassadors. The two look compatible during their photo shoot in the studio. JKS complimented Og Bin for her pretty looks and charm.
Both ambassadors have beautiful legs
The studio was crammed full with Codes Combine’s latest season’s clothes and accessories. After putting on their perfect make-up, the two ambassadors JKS and Kim Og Bin started their work for the day, presenting their best poses in front of the camera. The main reason why Codes Combine chose these ambassadors is that both have long, slender legs which will show off the best in the clothes.
Stressed to be photographed with JKS
Kim Og Bin shared frankly that she dieted intentionally before the photo shoot, because she did not want to compare badly next to the tall and slim JKS. Both displayed good rapport during the photo shoot, coming up with many poses and expressions that the photographer was satisfied with. The two also demonstrated on the spot which poses would make their legs appear longer in the photos. The process was relaxing and interesting.
When JKS was posing for his individual photographs, something happened. As slim as a lady, JKS did not discover that he had worn Og Bin’s pants until Og Bin said, “You are wearing my pants!” Having taken the pants by accident, JKS was surprised. He said the size was ok and even a bit loose on him. This incident tickled the crew immensely.
2nd collaboration after 4 years
JKS and Kim Og Bin had known each other from previous drama acting, so they don’t feel unfamiliar during this new collaboration. Talking about the first time they met each other 4 years ago, JKS said, “At that time, there were several of us actors having meetings and meals together. As I was only 21 years old then, most of the girls around me were older than me, so I naturally called her ‘elder sister’. Later, I found out that she is of the same age as me, and I stopped calling her ‘elder sister’.”
So pretty boys have their troubles too … …
JKS has always been known as a ‘pretty boy’, and hence has received much attention. But he has also faced some worries because he is too beautiful. “Because of my looks, many actresses hesitate about working with me, because they worry that when they take photographs with me, others may say that I am more beautiful than them.” Although classified as a pretty boy, the male star that JKS admires most is manly Cha Seung-won, and most admired female star is Lee Young Ae who has recently become a mother.
Autograph session at Hong-dae outlet opening
To celebrate the brand’s opening in Hong-dae business district, Codes Combine ambassador Jang Keun Suk held an autograph session at the outlet at 4pm on 24 Feb 2011. Before JKS’ arrival, there were already hundreds of female fans queueing and waiting for him outside. When his car neared the entrance, the fans screamed. Surrounded by fans, JKS managed to enter the shop successfully under the protection of the staff and his manager. Full of smiles, JKS was photographed by the media in front of the background display board, and he did some cute stretching exercises before starting the autograph for fans.
Besides Korean fans, other fans came from Japan, China and Hong Kong. The promotion of this event has also made Codes Combine known by fans in other countries. In order to leave an impression on JKS, some fans made the effort to appear in rabbit costumes. Fans made use of the short time while JKS was autographing to tell JKS what they wanted to say to him. At fans’ unreserved declaration of love and support, JKS, friendly as ever towards fans, sincerely expressed his thanks and interacted with them. Only the first one hundred fans would have the chance to get JKS’ autograph, and for this chance, many fans even queued overnight!

Hallyu star JKS eyes the world with the launch of his Asia Tour
HS Media, Jang Keun Suk’s agent company in China, has officially announced the news of JKS Asia Tour 2011 on their website. Since the news is out, it has attracted large crowds of fans leaving messages at HS Media’s official website and Sina. The expected overwhelming response comes with good reason.
Due to his child actor background, Jang Keun Suk’s many years of acting experience resulted in his rapid growth. The drama “You are Beautiful” (YAB) in 2009 was an important milestone in his career. According to news, the China CEO of an international brand watched “You are Beautiful” at a friend’s recommendation and for someone like him who does not watch Korean drama, the CEO was deeply touched by the actor who played “Hwang Tae-kyung”. Besides being curious about the actor, the CEO had the idea of asking the actor to be his brand ambassador.
Just based on JKS’ acting skill alone, his movies prove most persuasive. In the movie “The Case of Itaewon Homicide”, the vicious-looking eyes of JKS’ character literally causes one to tremble in fear and leaves a deep impression; the aura that emanated from the character was overpowering. The CEO of HS Media, Jason, says, “After I watched ‘The Case of Itaewon Homicide’, the lingering effect was I dared not look JKS in the eye for quite some time.”
According to HS Media, JKS values the China market, and has the intention to work with good Chinese movie producers. HS Media has even received work offers from England and America, but Jason reiterates that the script is the most important. JKS is an artiste who places an emphasis on the importance of the script and has his own plans. Even if the financial gain is considerable, the script is of utmost priority. Looking at the entertainment circle today, most young celebrities are impetuous and materialistic, being overly concerned about the short-term monetary benefits, whereas this young man Jang Keun Suk born in 1987 always manages to be level-headed. An artiste who is very clear about his future path is quite rare. This explains why JKS still has a large group of loyal fans in fiercely competitive Korean showbiz where newcomers abound.
In 2010, “Marry me Mary”(M3) once again demonstrates the excellent acting skills of JKS. Before the broadcast of M3, various doubts about JKS duplicating his roles and unable to achieve a break-through had surfaced with regards to the similarity of the roles of Hwang Tae-kyung (in YAB) and Kang Mu-gyul since both roles are lead singers.
JKS said, “I am not a puppet who does what others tell me to, and walk a path that others have prepared for me. I want to create a world that belongs to me.”
Should we use “proudly untameable” to describe this actor? But then, JKS is also one who pays detailed attention to people around him. He would help his fellow colleagues fend off drinks. Even when he is exhausted to the point of collapse, he will persevere by sheer force of determination and break into genuine laughter to encourage and cheer on his fellow colleagues who are shouldering the battle with him. And the chauvinistic side of him obstinately refuses to admit that he has a gentle and sensitive side. The Chinese staff who had worked with JKS in his Asia Tour 2010 expressed that JKS is unlike the domineering roles that he played in the dramas – in reality, he is very friendly with a strong sense of justice and does not put on airs. He would joke around with the others and interact well with them. JKS is the polar opposite of their impression that Korean celebrities are more unapproachable.
The definition of a good professional actor is that he can give life to characters regardless of any external conditions. When you have seen the seemingly laidback and yet stubborn Kang Mu-gyul acted by JKS, you’ll completely forget Hwang Tae-kyung. There is no duplication in acting at all. One can only see from his eyes the charm that will steal away one’s heart.
Some comment that Jang Keun Suk is a miracle. He can give people surprises and hope. It seems as if he is by your side, and yet he’s standing on the tallest peak. Where is he? He wanders between the moment and eternity.
This is Jang Keun Suk – the new generation Hallyu star who is full of passion and ideas, possessing the ability to control his world, seriously serious and equipped with boundless charm that can conquer the world.

Jang Geun Seuk plans to produce Chinese EP album
Based on “You are Beautiful”, sweetheart idol Jang Keun Suk has captivated the hearts of hundreds and thousands of girls. His arrival in Hong Kong in 2010 was indeed a grand affair for K-fans. Although he is not a singer and has only sung a few television drama soundtracks, he sings excellently and as a result, his fan-meetings often resemble a concert in the making and has earned him much reputation. The organisers are, of course, hungry for more, and so on 30 April 2011, “JKS Cri Show 2011” will be held at Kowloonbay International Trade & Exhibition Centre. Ticket prices have reached a new high, with the VIP ticket price selling at HK$1,280. JKS has many Chinese fans, and he spent 3 months last year with them on his fan-meeting tour. All along, JKS has plans to produce a Chinese EP album in acknowledgement of their importance to him, but upon his return to Korea last year, JKS was bogged down with “Marry me Mary” filming and many promotional events and so he didn’t have time to prepare for this. His plans are not shelved though; JKS hopes to realize his plan of producing his Chinese EP album this year. JKS is going to Hong Kong on 28 April, and has been immediately invited to attend commercial events. In order to thank fans who have bought VIP tickets, JKS will hold an additional autograph and photo-taking session on 30 April. No wonder JKS is the organisers’ guarantee of ticket sales!
