The viewer rating of “The special documentary of a new Hallyu star, Jang Keun Suk” was around 10% and it proved a high interest in him.

According to AGB Nielsen Index, the special documentary broadcast by KBS2 on Jan. 1, “The central role of new Hallyu stars, Jang Keun Suk” got a 8% viewer rating throughout Korea. This viewer rating is high if you consider the fact that it was a midnight broadcasting and a documentary for a particular artist. This program reported his great success in Japan, the secret of his popularity, and the real face of JKS. And the filming location of CFs in Japan and China, the recording scene of a duet with a guest of Tokyo Dome were also broadcast. Watching the program, JKS was introduced as a leader who creates new Hallyu showbiz contents and plays a central role of it even though he hasn’t almost any time for rest.

In this program, JKS said, “I don’t think I am successful. I must make more efforts.” He added, “As I’ve gotten older, I feel anxious about uncertainty. I don’t feel at ease if I don’t sweat. Some people said that I made a precocious success, but I don’t think so. If there are ten things what I have to achieve in my life, I haven’t achieved only two or three of them. I sometimes describe myself as a boom, but when I say so, it puts me under hypnosis. I understand that it is possible that my popularity might lose in a moment, so I can’t cut corners on even trivial matters.”

The documentary was jointly planned by Korean TV station (KBS) and Japanese TV station (Fuji-TV). They collaborated sharing the shooting schedule, but the basic structure of the program is different. So the content is not the same. I wonder what kind of the program eventually comes out. I’m thinking of going to Japan…

[Music] English translation of the lyrics “守護星 (Guardian Star)”

UPDATE: I edited my previous English translation and added the Romanization

In response to request from many eels here, I translated the song “守護星(syugo-sei), meaning same as guardian angel (星 means star).” Honestly it was quite difficult for me to understand the real meaning of the lyrics. I think it’s because there were no Japanese song writers though it was written in Japanese. For me, some parts sound unnatural. But I managed to translate them, anyway. I hope you’ll understand the lyrics contained Sukkie’s certain messages to us.

Lyrics: Choi Chul Ho/Seo Hyun il/Lim Kyun Taeck

*narration
When I was a kid,
There was my own and only guardian star that I could reach even with my fingertip

Without noticing it, time passed
It may be me that released the hand across the ages

Do you still remember the star that only twinkled for you?

Dear my guardian star…

When I looked up at the sky by chance,
I found twinkle of a star that I had named by myself
It was too bright to stop crying
even if I closed my eyes

Day by day
Only time passes
I haven’t seen it for ages
I thought it was just an empty dream to see it again

Everyone, young and old,
they are raising their hands to look for the sign of the light
in the sky that whispers with a smile forever and ever
