“I am made in Korea, Jang Keun Suk!” Actor Jang Keun Suk who is known as ‘Keun-chan’ by his overseas fans is now making his way from Asia Prince to World Prince.

According to “Korean Wave movement report” issued by Korean Cultural Industry Foundation in 2011, JKS was regarded as a new Hallyu star, the possible successor to Bae Yong Jun. There was no objection that JKS was selected as the key person who would lead Korean wave in the next 10 years. His strong point is said not only his acting skill but his ‘artist’ side that is stood out in various areas such as fashion and music. Because of this, Korean wave has prevailed among younger generation, from teenagers to those in their 30’s who lead culture of consumption. Before that, most Hallyu fans were considered as middle-aged women.

Its a cup of Espresso. Exciting, seducing, crazy, definitely wont leave you bored and sleepy.
Listening to the album is like walking into a fullhouse club on the weekends, not a moment of silence, strong music beats in your eardrums, storming your brains. The purpose of each song is clear and simple, just one, that is for you to live now and have fun. No need to use your brain cells or emotions to understand in depth, just shake your head and dance your body, imagine yourself in a party partying without worries.
Perhaps its because of the easily understandable english and chinese lyrics, the one that leaves the most impression out of the 12 songs is ‘Feel The Beat’. Especially the part ‘Oh Eh Oh’ is most easy to remember, everytime hearing it will make you sing along, even after the song has ended.
