Jang Keun Suk not only showed his good looks liken a noble master, through his deep gentle voice, he was able to create a tense atmosphere as an MC. In that moment, he totally portrayed his MC ability which can normally be seen only in his Fan Meeting and Concerts.

When facing the trainees, he is sometimes like a nice brother, yet other times like a strict senior, this is the new look of “Asia Prince” Jang Keun Suk. Competent in both acting and stage performance, this is his advantage as an MC.
