[Tree-J notice] April Fools’ joke?

Visitors to JKS’ old (but still operational) website (www.jangkeunsuk.co.kr) get to see this pop-up notice from Tree-J.
After 1 April is past in Korean time, I’m not sure whether you’ll get to see this pop-up notice anymore, but the screencap is as above.
English translation below.

I strongly believe (99.99%) that it is an April Fools’ joke, and the majority of eels believes that it is a joke too. After all, we are talking about wacky JKS who also released a joke on April Fools’ Day last year when he released information saying that he was about to cut an album. Given JKS’ professionalism and diligence, he will never ever postpone his scheduled performances. Even when he had a cold and lost his voice last November during one of his Japan FMs, he still proceeded with the performance.

Nevertheless, some eels are appealing to him not to make his health the subject of a joke …. we cannot bear anything bad to befall him!

Singapore FM autograph / photo-taking passes


Credits: Colored Rhythms

It’s count-down time: 21 days until we see Jang Keun Suk in Singapore * happy happy *
And today is the first collection of the autograph and photo-taking passes.
The autograph pass is the rectangular-shaped fan and the other design is the photo-taking pass; we get to keep that as a souvenir.

I’m past the stage of bashing-my-head-against-the-wall for not being able to get the autograph pass, but there is still a lingering regret that I’m not able to get closer to JKS during the autograph session : (
Am consoling myself that at least I’ll get to see him at the fan-meeting, I’m super sure that will be the happiest 2 hours in my life ^^
