  2. QQ…we know our prince a bit specific with what brands he endorsed…he want to know about the product before he sign his name to it.. remember having read something about it stating JKS always do researc about the products.(company, production and quality and I guess even how the company treats their workers) I think that was the case also with Ferrino..
    Not many artists care about these things for they are ordered by/expected by their agency to make as much money as they can, even if the product they endorse is not so good..
    Our Suk is very good in increasing sales and promoting brandnames..

    • mamacri, you’re really a wise mama eel… ^_^
      actually I was studying some marketing trends in the industry when some companies already making big money and quite monopolise in certain industry in certain market… but they spend a huge amount of getting some Korean artistes to endorse their products or services.. from investor point of view.. I will start to wonder why the huge budget for marketing expenses if it is not to increase sales or brandname in a certain market.

  4. This is about the maximum professionalism! To our Keun Suk any commitment is equally important and is treated with respect and involvement. He became aware that any activity by him is a business card for future activities.
    The fact that he has become a symbol of quality products demonstrates again his great value and immense talent.
    Great work dear Keun Suk and go straight ahead!

  5. He’s loved by chinese people and they love to put his name in books. And ofc he is a great product ambassador.

    I hope it is okay that I’d like to share this pic http://bit.ly/1iL63CY , it was made in 2010. Mr. Jang was written in some exams in China ( I guess it’s for English lesson). Sorry if many of you hv seen it before.

Many times, I also see in Chinese post students posting Suk’s songs being played during the school break… and many students.. some with whole class are eels…^_^

  6. ‘Asia Prince’ is not at all a pretentious title. Jang Keun Suk works hard and professionally to reach that stage, this text is a proof for that :). He might not be called ‘King of CF’ back home in Korea because he doesn’t appear every day on TV endorsing any products he can- however once he endorses, he really sells 🙂
