*NOTICE: Using some pics from other CRI SHOW2 for the image
First of all, I’m so sorry I couldn’t post my fan account sooner. Luckily I had a lot of chance to attend CRI SHOW2, but it’s natural that I had to work harder after returning from dreamlike world… Plus, I was always floating after shows… so it’s very hard to summarize my experience soon… While I haven’t posted my FA, most his sayings and doings during CRI SHOW2 were already shared on the internet, so in this FA, I focus on my inner feelings before, during and after the show.
This FA is about attending Osaka, Nagoya and Fukuoka CRI SHOW2. I booked my tickets during pre-order period for JKS official fan club members. Because of the privilege, I got special tickets printed his face. Each ticket has different designs. So I post them for each fan account. For your information, black colored ticket means the better seat. In Japan, all seats are sold at the same price. We can’t know where my seat is when we receive it in hand. It reaches about one week before the show. So it’s a kind of lucky draw. The entrance is divided by the color of tickets.
Plus, there is the fan club member’s name printed on the ticket. So we have to show our ID card like a passport when entering the venue. Below pic is the notice for members.
*Osaka (1st day) ; Sep. 14th, 2012
The first show when I attended this year was YOKOHAMA, but at that time my seat was not good to see the whole stage, so I felt like Osaka was my first attending the show. Besides, I was with my mother in Yokohama. So at that time I was more interested in how much my mother enjoyed herself, not me. However, this time I was alone, so I could simply into this two-and-a-half-hours his magical world. To tell the truth, I couldn’t remember the detail of the stage. For me, everything was too amazing to catch my breath. I couldn’t even call his name loudly. I was focusing on his singing and performance and forgot to breathe and blink.
*See my FA about YOKOHAMA CRI SHOW2 from here.
Only what I remembered on the opening day of Osaka was two male eels were introduced on the big screen (shot by video camera). One is an older male eel. Sukkie described him like his father. (tenshi_akuma’s note: I don’t think he is so old. Maybe late-30s or early-40s? But his hairstyle and figure was like his father.) The other is a boy eel. The boy looked nervous seeing his face was on the big screen. Sukkie asked him to pose Zikzin, but he hesitated to do so. Then, Sukkie pretended to cry for sad. (tenshi_akuma’s note: The boy did eventually. But Sukkie was crying, so he didn’t notice the boy was doing. Poor Sukkie… Lol.)
Oh, this flower-printed suit was shown for the first time. He doesn’t put on this every show. One day red one, the other day this one. But anyway, it was first time. So after seeing this, eels were making a fuss on the internet!
And before the encore, some Keun-gyaru photos were shown on the screen by the staff. Usually we call “Jang Keun Suk” to request encore, but this time we instead called “Keun-gyaru”! Lol. Then he appeared on the encore stage. (tenshi_akuma’s note: I heard the second day of Osaka CRI SHOW2, Sukkie appeared on stage with a wig. But he didn’t apply Gyaru-like makeup, so it’s more like Pretty Jang.)

Oh, I have to add something about Osaka. Osaka is well-known as lovers of animal-printed clothes. As you know, eels are affected by Sukkie who loves leopard print. But women in Osaka originally love them. So I think the venue was really full of leopards… Grrrr…. Lol.
On the second day, I couldn’t attend the show, and just stayed at hotel. I flew to Osaka in the afternoon on the first day, so I felt tired… While staying at hotel, it suddenly started to rain heavily… I could feel Sukkie near me even not seeing him… kkk, Happy fool, tenshi. Lol.
In Osaka I bought a new official penlight. The right one is old one. Can you recognize the difference? The switch of the old one has some problems to work properly… So I bought a new one to enjoy the show fully ^^
*Nagoya (1st day) ; Sep. 19th, 2012
This is my first black colored ticket. And this is my first happy seat! Actually my seat was the front row of the additional stage at the back of the venue. Can you imagine when I found my seat was placed in the front row???? My seat was placed in the back of the venue, but when he stands on the stage, he’ll be just in front of me! No one in front of me but Sukkie… At that moment, only me in his eyes… Kya~~~~~ (≧∇≦)
Just imagining my daydream, I couldn’t sit on the seat quietly. I had to walk around to cool me down just before the show. Lol.
OK, let’s share about the show. It was just amazing. This time I had room to remember what he said during the show. Last year Nagoya is the first place for CRI SHOW. It was about one year ago. So many eels in Nagoya were looking forward to the day coming. I think the venue (Nippon Gaishi Hall) is the best size for his show. Not too big. So we could feel united… The excitement was at the peak from the beginning of the show. Sukkie seemed surprised to see how high the audience were. He said again and again that he misunderstood eels in Nagoya was quiet, but NO! Higher than anywhere! Yes, it’s true. I’m not an eel living in Nagoya, but I felt like I was a Nagoya eel. My heart was also filled with happiness that we finally saw him again here in Nagoya. He honestly confessed that his energy hadn’t recovered after sports festival held in Osaka during the off time after Osaka CRI SHOW2. But the excitement made Sukkie forget he was still tired.
OK, most of you already have been well-known about this episode, but this show was the beginning. So I can’t skip it. About nipple story… The most impressive and memorable confession by Sukkie was about his nipple episode. After singing “Crazy Crazy Crazy”, he asked the audience if they knew the reason he stopped wearing white costume. During the previous shows, he said it’s because wearing black looks more manly or sexier.
But this time he confessed a secret. When he was wearing a white shirt, some one (it seems an eel… OMG! @_@) touched his nipple!!!!! During shows in Japan, he speaks Japanese without an interpreter. He tried to say nipple in Japanese, but he couldn’t pronounce it properly. So all the audience corrected the word, saying “Chikubi (nipple)” loudly! Can you imagine the scene the audience was saying loudly nipple to our adorable star (without hesitation)???? Only happened to us, Prince and eels. Lol. But the voice was too big to be caught by him. So he suddenly walked down the stage and asked an eel directly! Then, he gave her a kissing (Don’t worry, he did it on his hand as usual) holding her hand. We all envied her, but at the same time, we felt sorry for her because she had to speak out such an embarrassing word “Chikubi (nipple)” to her beloved Prince.
Let’s change the subject. As you know, Sukkie is very well-known as a rain bringer. So before singing “Rain”, he always says something related to rain. This time he said,”I was caught in the rain during Osaka CRI SHOW2, and on my way to Osaka from Nagoya via highway… but today it’s fine day! It’s unbelievable! So you must need rain, right? I’ll give you rain.” Then he started to sing. (tenshi_akuma’s note: I’m well-known as a sunshine bringer. Even in Osaka, I wasn’t caught in the rain. Usually after I got in some buildings, it starts raining. So I don’t get wet… ^^) About his pronunciation, he pronounced highway (Kousoku douro) in Japanese like Koushoku douro. It sounds like horny road. I didn’t imagine at all his pronunciation was similar to horny road… but later I found many eels said so… I admire their super imagination… ^^;
During the show, we exchanged our dream. He asked us what our dream was in our childhood. Some replied, “Actress!” He said jokingly, “Impossible!” Lol. Do-S Sukkie… As for him, he listed his some dreams such as the owner of Korean beef barbecue restaurant, doctor, car racer, and entertainer… Now he’s worked in showbiz for 20 years. He’s thinking that he wants to be active as an actor and singer, too.
The 1st day of Nagoya CRI SHOW2 was his birthday on the lunar calendar. So we sang in chorus “Happy Birthday to Keun-chan”, calling for an encore. Then he appeared. He and dancers looked so high. He was even tossed in the air by dancers… It was like the final day of CRI SHOW2.
About sharing my daydream, yes, he actually came just in front of me! Only me (I thought…) in his eyes, at least for that moment!! I was sooooo close to him. I felt like dying happily. He was super shining… (*^_^*)
OK, about the 1st day of Nagoya, lastly I share some sayings he shared with us during the show.
—-
* No one knows what will happen tomorrow. Only we are sure is ourselves. That’s why we should believe ourselves. Believe yourselves. Think of yourselves. But I hope you also think of Prince a little bit…
* I want to hold a dinner show to celebrate my 20th anniversary of my debut. The capacity should be around 200 or 300. I’m thinking to invite a special guest as my mother. I want to ask her what she was expecting unborn me while she was pregnant. Sukkie will decide the menu by himself. It’ll be his self-produced dinner show!

Oh, I have to add this memorable pic. I joined Zikzin shooting event with ECI members, Hazy and Siau Gek. When we joined the event, the organizer noticed we were eels from other countries (Actually I’m from Japan though. kkk). That’s why we got a chance to post our pic on their official twitter 🙂 Yay!

*Nagoya (2nd day) ; Sep. 20th, 2012
This time I also got a black colored ticket. And the seat was much better than yesterday!!!! I could see him on the front stage, and the middle stage, too! When he stood on the middle stage, I had to turn around. But then my seat suddenly changed to the 2nd row!!! OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG…!!!!!! Almost dying for happiness… T_T
But this day wasn’t simply full of happiness… Before entering the venue, I read his twitter saying he was really sick and had trouble with his voice… then, before the show, there was an announcement to ask the audience to sing with him much more loudly than usual. I was so worried about his health… and promised I would sing and cheer him up at the top of my voice. Yes, I was totally OK even my voice went hoarse from shouting…
While we were so worried, the fact was… his singing seemed no problem at all! He tweeted his voice couldn’t come out this morning. But he did sing the opening song in good condition! I was happy to hear his better singing. I kept cheering him much loudly, “Sukkie~~!!”
Seeing his show from the best position, I really thought how lucky I was… and wished if I were millionaire, I would invite all international eels to his show… His performance was superb. During CRI SHOW2, he is truly Singer Jang Keun Suk. In his own words, it’s a real singer’s stage who has his own solo album, not just joining some OST, It’s not a fan meeting but a concert. He looked proud to stand on the stage as a singer.
When he sings “In my dream”, he has to play guitar and sing in a high tone. Before singing the song, he asked us if he could practice singing the high tone part. And he did like a vocalization exercise. He himself was worried to sing songs well. Despite worries, his voice came out in good condition! He seemed so surprised but happy that he could sing in a high tone without troubles! Yes, he’s a truly Singer Jang Keun Suk today!!!
On the 2nd day of Nagoya, I got a great news for international eels. You already knew what it was. He revealed he would go to Berlin for shooting his next year’s calendar. Most audience was first disappointed to hear that he would leave Nagoya for Korea tomorrow. But he explained it because of shooting his calendar and being World Prince. Everyone understood. As for me (I’m sure I was the only person), I got so excited as soon as I heard the news. As I mentioned above, I really wanted to share my superb experience with my international eel’s friends. And I knew that ECI has German eels. That’s why I posted this flash report on our FB as soon as the show ended. He just said he would depart that weekend. But we international eels succeeded to get the correct info and European eels could meet him in person at Schoenefeld airport.
About the 2nd day of Nagoya, lastly I share some sayings he shared with us during the show.
—-
* Today’s talk about rain. When he thinks it will rain, no rain (sunny day)… Instead, when he wishes it won’t rain, heavy rain… Poor Sukkie… Lol. As long as I attend his show, he’ll get sunny day. I promise him 😉
* He apologized his Japanese today was not good. His excuse for incorrect Japanese might be because he’s also learnt other languages at the same time such as Chinese and English! I don’t think his Japanese was not bad at all. Really great. But happy to hear that he’s trying to master other languages. That will be a shortcut to be World Prince!
* About dinner show, he said it would be in cold season. Maybe, next January? And the idea to invite his mother was greatly accepted by his staff. Seems more realistic.
* When he last visited Nagoya, he had a memorable experience. “About one year ago, last year CRI SHOW, there was Team H session, so Kurt was with me. Two women standing in front of our car. We were only boys. Honestly we felt lonely… but Prince is expensive. Lol. So we were just seeing how our staff would treat them. Well… I hesitate to share the fact, they didn’t know my name correctly! After the accident, Kurt and I talked that we have to go a long way before becoming more popular. We have to work much harder… So if I could find them, I would invite them to show this huge audience and try to make them eels!” So funny… kk
* He sometimes said to us eels like “I don’t have a lot of friends. I once felt I’m lonely, but I have eels! So I don’t feel lonely!” This time his saying touched my heart more deeply than ever. I think the size of Nagoya venue is the best of all. We could feel very united. That’s why I’m sure he also felt this much more on that day.
—-
Lastly, I had to confess how much I was moved on that day. Usually on the encore stage, Sukkie performs 2 songs, “Gotta Getcha” and “Shake it”. And after singing “Shake it”, they leave from the stage. But this time…. NOT! Sukkie didn’t leave after that. Surprisingly, Sukkie and dancers continued to walk around the venue! Even band musicians also went down from the stage and followed them. I didn’t expect this happening at all. When I notice this unexpected event, my eyes were filled with endless stream of tears. I can’t say it’s just because I was so happy or moved. No, not so simple. Just remembering the scene, tears still well up in my eyes easily. Since before the show, I had been so nervous to attend and see him. Because he was not in good condition. But his professionalism helped him to make a good performance at the highest level. I myself cheered him and sang in chorus with my full energy and love. Even my voice went hoarse and started to cough. I continued to sing together. I believed all I can do is sending my support to him from beginning to end. I think he felt today’s cheer was special. And he must have been worried to go through the show until the end. So I think he suddenly decided to show his thankfulness to the audience, and then approached us. I couldn’t say anything but thank you. This must have made the staff surprised, too. But they used their wit and played music “Tomorrow”. Yes, “Tomorrow” must be the most important song on CRI SHOW2. The lyrics are very meaningful and represents him. I was singing it again loudly, while crying. Just crying and crying. My tears couldn’t stop even after he left the stage. I couldn’t stand up. I just cried, not saying anything. Just weeping and weeping for a while… T_T
For me, this was the best show I had ever attended.

*Fukuoka (1st day) ; Oct. 6th, 2012
A gray-colored ticket again. My seat was at the edge of an entrance of the venue. So I could see the BTS of dancers, standing by there.
The venue of Fukuoka is usually used for conventions. So the distance between stage and seats are big… How can I describe the venue? Even from the front row of the stand seats, eels can’t reach him at all. Usually in other venue, extended passages to stages are installed near the stands. The good point of this venue is even the top of the stands, the seat isn’t placed at a very high place. See the pic below. Do you get what I try to explain the structure of the venue? But only one bad thing, not sure because of the structure of the venue or my seat, the audio condition wasn’t good. So I wrote it in the 1st day’s questionnaire. Luckily the condition was much improved on the 2nd day ^^
Let’s get back to the subject. For him, visiting Fukuoka as his own show last was 2 years ago. Actually he visited Fukuoka for greeting session of movie “You’re My Pet”. But this time, he came as a singer not as an actor. So he promised to give the audience a great concert.
Fukuoka CRI SHOW2 was held just after his Paris trip. He kept quiet for a while, so eels were worried about what he was thinking these days. When he started to confess what he’s been doing lately, the audience became all ears. He said, “I went to Berlin for shooting next year’s calendar. Later, I went to Paris alone for private. Well, actually I was not alone. I was with Mr. Kim Byung Gun… I have an image that Paris is a romantic city like couples are seeing the Seine and kissing there… But in my case, two men alone… Just walked and walked aimlessly about for 5 hours a day. Like when I saw the Eiffel Tower, just headed for it. And walked for 2 hours, then seeing another objective, went there…” And he confessed that he had been in a slump lately. (tenshi_akuma’s note: He was reading a book titled “Things You Can Finally See When You Stop” during his trip in Berlin and Paris. I finished reading it lately. Now I think I understand a bit what he was thinking at that time. I’ll share my thoughts later.)
After that, he talked about his sudden attempt of the private DJ-ing radio broadcast at home a few days ago. “When I returned from Paris, I couldn’t sleep because of jet lag. So I started to drink shochu (Korean distilled spirit) alone at kitchen and uploaded my video on app. Then I radiobroadcasted my personal DJ-music on the intertnet at 4 am. I heard it was only available in Korea. So I’ll look for such internet radiobroadcasting service in Japan. But I will do only when I’m drunk. Lol. When I felt lonely, eels came to my mind. I have eels.”
OK, I shouldn’t skip “nipple (chikubi)” episode this time, too. After singing “Crazy Crazy Crazy”, Sukkie reported that Korean dancers and staff started to learn Japanese lately. Then, he asked one of dancers, a.k.a Mr. Chikubi now what Japanese word he memorized lately. Mr. Chikubi answered “Itadakimasu (Let’s eat)!” Then Sukkie said to him, “I’ll teach you some Japanese” and pointing each part of body. “Me (eye)”, “Hana (nose)”, “Kuchibiru (lip)” and…. then “Chikubi (nipple)”. Also Sukkie taught him some related words like “Gyunyu (milk)” and “Chichi Shibori (Cow milking)”. Later the show, Sukkie asked him again if he could pronounce chikubi properly, but he couldn’t. After that, Sukkie tried to confirm his pronunciation. During the encore, both were playing to touch each nipple. And Mr. Chikubi succeeded to show Sukkie’s one to the audience. OMG! Honestly, I first felt something seeing his… (//-_-///) Don’t ask me what I felt…
And he was wearing a cute cow-printed cowboy hat and leopard-printed cape. Both were from Japanese eels. (tenshi_akuma’s note: Pic with Mr. Chikubi)
About the 1st day of Fukuoka, lastly I share some sayings he shared with us during the show.
—-
* Today’s talk about rain. “We had rain in Osaka and Nagoya (actually from Osaka to Nagoya via highway). Today we have a good sunny day…, no! We don’t! Seems it looks to start raining soon. I’ll give you rain in the venue first.”
* “I don’t like fall because I feel sentimental. I like summer. The other day I went camping. It was a great fun. I really want to camp with eels. Maybe next summer?”
* Busan film festival just began. He was chatting with Alex (Hyunduk) using KAKAO Talks until 4 am. Asking him if he enjoyed the event or the food was good. He seemed to miss it. But he said, “For me, CRI SHOW2 with eels is more interesting!” While talking about this episode, he posed to check the time seeing his wrist (watch). But he was on the stage. There was no watch on his wrist. He got embarrassed seeing there was no watch. He was so cute!
* “I want to try the first experience in Fukuoka. Like holding Yatai (food stall) party?” (tenshi_akuma’s note: Fukuoka is well-known as food stalls.)
—-
After the show, Sukkie didn’t go to Yatai (food stalls). Instead, he built up private Yatai behind the venue. All staff gathered together and enjoyed dinner.

*Fukuoka (2nd day) ; Oct. 7th, 2012
OK, this is my last FA of these Osaka, Nagoya and Fukuoka CRI SHOW2 (tenshi_akuma’s note: Actually I’ll attend additional CRI SHOW2 held in Saitama though.) It was my last day to attend the show, but my seat was quite behind the venue even getting my ticket during the pre-order period for JKS official fan club members. First, I thought my seat was not good… but I was wrong. I started to cry even from the opening.
There was no Sukkie, but I couldn’t stop crying. This time I could see the whole stage and production. CRI SHOW2 is really Jang Keun Suk magical world. Although I experienced his magical world several times before, I still encountered a new aspect. Jang Keun Suk world is really addictive and never being got tired of.
Of course, I have to admit that my seat was far from stage and hard to see Sukkie clearly. But I enjoyed his world quite a lot. During the show, Sukkie said that he was sitting on a very behind the venue to see the production during a rehearsal. The seat was placed in almost similar area. I understood what he saw at that time and was happy to know my sight is similar to him.
OK, let’s get back to the final day of Fukuoka CRI SHOW2. At the beginning, he said “There is a smell of Fukuoka eels.” I personally laughed a lot. I don’t think he knows Fukuoka is famous for eel dishes, but for me, I used to live in Fukuoka, so I’ve missed eel’s flavor. Lol. Then he asked who attended yesterday’s show. Many (most of ?) eels raised their hand. Sukkie seemed not to expect so many eels already attended last night’s show. So he said, “Oh, well…. you are so lucky…”
About song “Stay”, Sukkie asked us if we thought it was based on his personal experience. Many eels raised their hand to show we thought so. He denied perfectly. “It wasn’t! If so, it must be much easier to sing the song with emotion. But I don’t have time to be in love.” Eels didn’t look convinced… but Sukkie added, “You know my schedule is packed. Where can I spare such time?”
In my opinion about his love relationship, I don’t think he has a girl friend right now. As an ordinary young man, he might want to have one, but I don’t think he really wants to seriously. Because he has eels. It’s true that his schedule is murderous, but he himself chooses this killing schedule and working hard to realize his dream. Eels are always supporting and loving him, even if we can’t see him in person or hug him directly… But our hearts are always with him. When he’s in a trouble, eels come to his mind. This sounds lonely? I don’t think so. Even if he’s in a serious slump and just wants to leave himself alone, eels are waiting quietly and patiently until he’s ready to say something to us. Now he’s struggling against an invisible wall… All we can do is just keep staying with him quietly. I hope eels become more than family, best friends, or his girl friend. I want to be like a mirror he can reveal even his weak side freely… In my opinion, mirror doesn’t speak. Mirror just reflects what he feels inside. Only mirror knows his real self. I wish I want to be a mirror he speaks to every day. (tenshi_akuma’s note: He talks about a mirror in a previous interview. If you haven’t read it, you can read it from here.) Of course, it happens he falls in love accidentally. Who knows? But I don’t think he tries to have a girl friend seriously. He may be in love in 3 seconds like In Ha. Who knows? Until he will have a fateful encounter, I hope eels are his soul mate.
I really like the part he’s talking about dreams. In this part, he doesn’t say only about his dream but about ours. He’s practicing everyday, so he wants us to move forward to realize our dreams, too. Today he said, “I’m moved by myself. Oh, I did! I made it! Great! The most important thing is to strive for a dream. To realize it isn’t so important. But luckily I’ve realized some of my dreams. I’m moved by my efforts and process. Jang Keun Suk, you’re indeed a great guy.” When I heard this talk, my heart was full. Yes, this his word must be real. He always tries to do his best without expecting too much results. But the results came along with him. I think it’s because he always tries not to forget the basic part as an artist. He always does anything with sincerity. He doesn’t cut corners. Even if he’s sick, his professionalism inspires himself. We need to praise ourselves some time. Because I believe it leads to love ourselves, and it leads to love others. We eels are big fans of Jang Keun Suk. But Jang Keun Suk must be the biggest fan of Jang Keun Suk himself. He promised us, “Please have your own dream and head toward it, eels. I’m also moving toward my dreams. I’ll become much cooler in the future. Please continue to support me. See you again next year!”
On the 2nd day, too, Sukkie enjoyed playing with Mr. Chikubi on the stage. It also happened after singing “Crazy Crazy Crazy”. This time he prepared a special item to entertain him and the audience. It was a pudding shaped breasts! It was given by a Japanese eel. And he asked him to try eating on the stage. Mr. Chikubi tasted it and said, “It’s soft and delicious!” Then Sukkie tried, too. Don’t worry. He ate it with a spoon, delicately. kk After the show, this pudding became a small hit in Fukuoka. Lol. And this time, naughty Sukkie taught him another Japanese. “Waki Kusai Ichiban (My underarm odor is No.1) !” He didn’t understand what this phrase means. Just practiced to say it again and again… Naugty, Sukkie! After the show, he finally knew the meaning and the photo below was posted on Twitter. I’m relieved he knows the sense of humors. Mr. Chikubi became a new star of dancers in Fukuoka. Who’s next? kk
On the 1st day of Fukuoka, he talked about Yatai party. He didn’t go to Yatai actually, but instead he did made Yatai party for all the staff, using 30 trucks to build instant walls behind the venue after the show last night. And food stalls were installed inside. There all the staff joined and ate dinner together. I think more than 200 people gathered. It was first time to hold such a big dinner party for all the staff. He seems to be happy to see all of them enjoyed the event, got along with each other and became friends. During the show, Sukkie asked one of cameramen if there was anyone whom he was interested in… like if he found a pretty girl there. Sukkie suddenly approached him very closely. Guess what he said? What the cameraman said to him was… “You’re so handsome…” Sukkie was surprised to hear that and laughed out. I also laughed out. Yes, this came out naturally even from an ordinary man. Even though the cameraman found someone cute among the staff, all he could say to him is just “you’re really handsome.” He must have experienced to shoot many artists, but Sukkie must be special for him. Very friendly, very considerate, very funny and very beautiful.
About the 2nd day of Fukuoka, lastly I share some sayings he shared with us during the show.
—-
* Today’s talk about rain. Usually he talked before singing “Rain”, but there was no rain talk. Instead, he found there were more male eels attending the show. So this time he said he would sing the song for male eels.
* He hasn’t been in good condition these days. Especially his limbs tend to get cold… so he takes Korean traditional herbal medicine for the improvement. But he said it wasn’t tasty. So he asked if anyone makes him warm. Of course, every one screamed, “Yes, I will. Me!!!”
* He talked about a plan of camping with eels again. He seemed that he really wants to carry out this plan. “I know it seems almost impossible, or very difficult.. but still I really want to carry out. I believe we can make it with Prince and my eels.”
* About dinner show. Mama Jang seems to be decided as one of the special guests. He wants to ask her talking about episodes when he debuted, when he was born, when she was pregnant. As you know, Jang family is a very close family. While drinking, they often have a lively conversation talking about such episodes like unborn Sukkie was moving very actively even in the mother’s womb and Mother felt pain. Mother sill complains about it. Sukkie also complains about it, “Who knows?” And he added, “When we drink together, they talk about the same episode again and again!” Hearing such an ordinary talk with family member, I felt so happy ^^
* Jang family loves drinking. Sukkie loves drinking, but he said Father can drink a lot without getting drunk. When they drank a lot together, Sukkie got drunk and had no memory after that. But Father continued to drink to another restaurant. “He’s quite a heavy drinker.”
* “Last year, CRI SHOW. This year, CRI SHOW2. Next year, CRI SHOW3? How far can I go? CRI SHOW5? 10?” Even it’s hard to hold the show every year, but I hope he’ll continue such shows endlessly in his artist life. We’ll be with you even in the next 20 years. Forever! Lifelong relationship! ^^

In conclusion:
While I haven’t written my FA, many events passed by between Prince and eels. Now that I know how many days passed and we experienced a lot of feelings, I was writing this FA with various feelings. Now I finished reading the book he read in his slump, I think I have a clue of his feeling now. I’ll share some quotes or my thoughts later on another thread. All I can say now to you eels, just believe your beloved one and support him quietly. He is too honest a person, but at the same time, he tries to be Perfect Jang Keun Suk. Before he said he doesn’t like to show his weak side or his efforts. He tries to show the best part of Prince Jang Keun Suk. But nowadays he has started to confess his weak side to eels. Because he trusts his eels. Because eels are precious for him. After reading the book, I’ve been more sure about it. Now my heart is full of emotion. If I had written my FA soon, I wouldn’t have had this feeling. Now I’m feeling a lot of things. I think it is my destined time to write these FA and have such feelings now. Thanks, all.
Thanks very much for a heart lifting FA. Your FA are always so special, full of feeling and emotion. We always felt that we are there step by step with you all the way. Your description are so precise and your feeling are so sincere. Love your FA so much. The part I love the most is the one which show how innocent and pure you are (Farina, Koari Chan is really an innocent young lady so don’t corrupt her to much)- the “chikubi” part. I could imagine you blushing. Lastly I want to thanks you again for understanding Prince and show to us how to appreciate Prince more. Hugs hugs. <3
Liana, im not the one excited about ‘chikubi’ im an IT girl! Chikubi girl will be Meg lol!! All ECI secrets spilling out kkk!!
I guess you excited about ‘chikubi’ too. Use your imagination, from ‘chikubi’ you travel down to ‘IT’……opppps.
wow! what a fan story… I have to read this over and over again… Tenshi thank you so much for sharing such a detailed story also with some additional information that you personally share… you really have to become a fan to feel like a fan and as i read, i felt that i was at the concerts lol! … also i share the same opinion with this fan..i also believe that until now the Prince has no girlfriend YET…
I LOVE YOUR FA!!! <3
Thank you very much Tenshi, your FA really great and touched my heart.
Wow Temshi, fantastic & very personalised FA. I can really feel your devotion, commitment, die-hard confession to the one & only JKS in this planet! Really admire your hard work, your selfless support and your love to Prince. I salute you on this! You r truly lucky to see CRI show so many times and be able to see Prince up close! Thanks for the FA. You touched our life’s too! Cheers to Tenshi! Let’s continue to support our beloved Prince!
Thanks sis Kaori for such a long meaningful FA. I’m moved a lot while reading this. Our Prince has been always great in eels’ heart, not bz he’s a perfectionist but an imperfect guy trying to improve himself day by day. I love the way he’s sincere to express his real characteristics to eels, just like there’s no burden between him and eels, right, he considers eels as his most important part in life. we eels promise to support and trust him in the next 10, 20, 40… years however he tries, whatever he does, whoever he becomes.
Really love your FAs and i must say i envy you too kkk!! Next year FA you will write about meeting ME!! LOL!!!
Thank you Tenshi for sharing your FAs – i am so happy we are able to recap these moments together with you, and be transported to that point in time as if we were there at the shows together with you 🙂
Personally i am so thankful i had the opportunity to attend 3 different crishows this year in 3 different countries – Seoul, Taiwan and Nagoya (Japan). Each show is now a fond memory stored in my heart, and each show is just too special beyond words. In Seoul, since it was the first show, i wasn’t sure what to expect, and since i didn’t understand Korean, i was kept busy by each scene change, amazed by his costume, and most of all, his powerful singing for the whole 2.5 hours! I probably don’t remember much of the show, but definitely the whole experience of soaking in his presence in Seoul, visiting places linked to him (restaurant, hair saloon, drama shooting place, brands he endorsed) and making new friends from other countries (Taiwan, HongKong, Indonesia, Korea and Japan), was all a wonderful memory that i will treasure fondly!
My second experience in Taiwan was a very impromptu decision, but definitely the best decision i have made! A Taiwanese eel friend had standing tickets and we decided to go for it! I opted for budget airline – and we had the choice of either a red eye or early morning flight. As i can’t sleep on the plane, the natural choice is to go with the early morning flight (7am) which means we need to be in the airport at 5am. We secured the flight way before knowing when Sukkie will fly into Taiwan nor even knowing his exact timing of flight, so you can imagine how thrilled i was when i know we will be arriving about the same time as him into Taoyuan Taipei! But alas, our flight was delayed by 45min on that morning, so in the flight, we were already mentally prepared we probably would have missed him at the airport. Yet upon arriving in Taoyuan, we checked his flight and realised it was delayed by 2hours, which means we are still in time to welcome him at the airport itself!Recounting these fond memories now put a smile on my face – i could also remember how fast my heart was beating then, i thought i would have an heart attack! It felt as if i float through the immigration with him, walking behind him and admiring his sexy back, with Gun-sama right beside him – how surreal is that? it was only when i looked back at the pictures that i realised it was for real, and how close indeed i was to him – i felt truly blessed! (and that’s how i got the nickname papahazy from ECI :P) Taiwan is also the only show with standing ticket, and it was another first for me, to stand 2.5 hours through a show, jumping, dancing and screaming all the way, and no chance of sitting down or rest! But i didn’t feel tired or restless at all throughout the show! Sukkie threw his towel only once in the show, and it was towards our direction – in fact the girl 2-3 rows in front of me caught it – and another time he threw the encore stick also in our direction too — yes we were that close to him and i could literally feel i saw him UP CLOSE – his smile, his wink, his sweat, his dazzling eyes, his ______ (ECI Peels, what are you thinking??). Taiwan was also the only show i could understand what he said (via a translator) so it made it even more special for me!
Nagoya was decided as i have a business trip to make during that time in Tokyo/Seoul, and i was glad it crystalised – it was one of the most heart-warming i attended comparing the 3. The cheering human wave enthusiastically participated by all eels in the concert hall (even the 66 year old grandma seated beside me happily stood and up join the wave, and pulled me along since i was so lost in translation LOL), and the happy birthday song we sang to him, truly i felt a united spirit in the whole concert. Although i understand no Japanese, but i felt so relaxed sitting back to listen to him speak. I was also able to appreciate the whole production from a full stage view, enjoyed his singing and every movement!
(sorry i wrote so much, as a lot of emotions after reading Tenshi’s FA, so i better stop here now)
sis Hazy, thank you for sharing your mini FA with us. I love your story too. Your story seems unfinished….Please continue and share your feelings and experience with us more if you have time to write it.
sis Kailey, you are such an observant and sweet eel *hugs* yes, sorry i kind of ended abruptly coz i realised i was “talking” too much; moreover, i felt i needed re-charging by looking through the fond memories (pictures) captured during the 3 trips…..
To sum it up, i think it is impossible for me to chose my favorite of the 3 shows i attended – each is just so unique and special in its own way. The only thing remains unchanging is Sukkie’s love for his eels, which is so evident in every of his shows, that he would want to present his best (and he did!) to his loyal eels who supported him, every song he sang, every moves he made is liken a gift back to his eels.
Believe it or not,I’m a fan of yours and Ivy’..I admire the love u have for Prince J..A selfless eel who support his star all the way!! You are trully a wonderful woman,eels can learn so much from you in terms of loyalty and dedication…I hope one day I can meet you personally..Thank you very much for this wonderful FA’ I could ask for more..
Thank you for sharing with us your wonderful experiences. I’m really waiting for this. I love reading your FA because I can feel your emotions, your excitement and the love you have for Sukkie. Yes, i am also a fan of yours and Ivy…..
Dear Tenshi: thank you for sharing such an amazing experience of you and the prince ( Cri Shows ). I’m sure many readers like myself felt like we were present there ourselves. Not only about the show but by sharing your personal feelings and comments, you have opened a path for your readers to have a better understanding of prince JKS and his magical world.
I commend your sincerity towards prince JKS, on your well detailed FA. I loved the part where you were concerned more about your mom enjoying the show. You are a wonderful young lady. God Bless you!
wow tenshi amazing i wanna go next year if he does it i wanna go i am wanna save a lot of money so i can go
thank you for sharing this wanderful story ..y feel happynes .. you are blessed …jang its a great person ,shi have a wanderfull and loved hearth .
Tenshi, just love this long, details and full of different feelings & emotions FA. Reading your FA just like you bringing us and holding us throughout all these shows.
I’m envy coz you got cri shows tickets with prince face printed on! And you got the chances to sit in different side to experienced the different view and atmosphere, thats too amazing!!
I believe whoever that ever watched his cri show concert will definitely love him deeper seeing his hard work, sweats, sweet talks, sharing bits of his story and the amazing improvement of his singing skill.
Tenshi, i believe he will achieve another 3 great performances in Saitama and i’m glad u able to attend again!!!
Sis Kaori chan, thanks a million again for sharing such a heart-warming and touched FA. You are indeed a very special and lucky eel. Sharing your wonderful and memorial experiences in Sukkie’s concerts make so many of us (who can’t attend his show) very happy. Reading your FA is like receiving gift from eels’ heaven.
I always LOVE reading your FA…because you always write with your loving eels’ heart, so true and honest feelings. I feel all your sentimental. I feel excited when you write about your excited feelings. I laugh when you laugh; I smile with you smile; I cried when you cried. You are a powerful sentimental writer. So powerful that if you write about SKY is not really blue color, we would believe you totally….kekekeke.
I’m so touched by your love and dedication for Sukkie. Knowing an eel like you is one of the reasons why I feel no shame whatsoever in loving JKS, too. Seriously, JKS deserves all the love and devotion eels give to him.
i love reading FA especially by tenshi chan.hontoni arigato gozaimasu 🙂
Love reading all sorts of FA. Thanks for sharing
Love to read your thoughts about his slump. i wanted to read the book but i don’t know if there is a English version yet. He is a very honest person but also a very sensitive person. It is hard to find an artistes who is willing to share his weak sides or everything with his fans. He really loves his fans
Thanks Tenshi for sharing such touching FA!
WOW!! Really an awesome FA… Thank you so much for sharing again your precious and wonderful moments with our prince, Tenshi ^___^ Always LOVE and looking forward for your FA, because you always write it with deep emotion and full of love for Sukkie… Once again, thanks a million, Tenshi.. Will wait patiently for your thoughts or quotes about the book that he read ^^
Thank you for sharing your FA, Tenshi. I enjoyed reading it so much. Certain parts were so touching that I got teary-eyed. I felt so proud of Prince as a singer when you wrote: His performance was superb. During CRI SHOW2, he is truly Singer Jang Keun Suk.
… Tenshi you are true fan(i am sorry for taking this FA of yours as someone else earlier)…as i reread this, i was amazed how you had established a genuine artist-fan relationship with our prince ..you can really see through him… i like the way you interpret what he said about the mirror that we eels should just reflect him.. this strikes me because i believe this is the kind of connection that we eels should really established with him to see the real him even his weakest side.. in fact i am guilty because sometimes instead of listening to him (like what you use to do for you don’t comment much even here in your own blog, right?)i often lecture the don’ts( dont smoke, don’t dress like girls etc) but of course with a good intention like the rest of us here but you’re right all we could do is to stay with him quietly…for who would understand him but his real EELS who truly love him much… You are a gifted writer too, Tenshi..
i’m just moved and amazed by your FA tenshi..i admire your dedication to our PRINCE
thanks for sharing your lengthy but admirable story..i love it!
tenshi, i’m touched by your lovely story… your love, your dedication, everything. thanks for sharing this wonderful experience, it’s so amazing, so magical. totally makes me feel like i want to attend prince’s cri show too, i can’t wait for the day that i’m able to do so.
and thanks hazy for sharing your story too, it’s wonderful.
reading all these makes me love our dear prince more.
xoxo.

Tenshi, words can’t express how thankful i am to read your detailed account of JKS’s crishows. Your FA is so different as it is filled with your interpretations of love of our Sukkie. Thank U again.
Kaori, thank you so much for this incredible fan account of Cri Show. You have such privilege to be able to attend so many Cri Shows this year, now is like you’re an “expert” of his Cri Show ;-). I always love to read your article because is full of affection from a deeply in love eel’s heart. My heart was beating with you, my breath was holding with you, my tears was falling with you… Just as I’m with you at his Cri Show. Amazing experiences. You made me feel the excitement, the movements, the happiness from the Cri Show as I was right there.
His Cri Show is so special for eels because eels are special to him.
I will always support him, if I can’t see him, even I can’t hear him, but I know he will be there when he is ready and give us a show, a work, something of his dream to share with us.
Let’s hand in hand in this eels pond forever for our ONLY Jang Keun Suk!!!
Tenshi, Thank you for your FA and sharing with us your emotions while @ the Cri Show.
I loved your quote about being a mirror for him. I will have to think more on this… as it feels very “profound” to me.
