13 April 2011 – On 12 April afternoon at basement 1 of Samsung Electronics Centre, in order to celebrate the opening of super-big IT and mobile phone retail outlet D’light Shop, actor Jang Keun Suk had an autograph session and even became a manager for a day.

As Samsung mobile phone brand ambassador, JKS not only signed autographs for fans, he also became a shop manager for a day, and demonstrated his professionalism in participating in the shop’s opening activities. Not only did he promote the functions of new products to D’light Shop customers with ease and familiarity, he also organised a live auction whereby the proceeds from the sale of two mobile phones were donated to charity.

Currently, JKS is busy with filming commercials in Korea and in other Asian countries, and also with preparation for his Asia Tour. His debut single to be released in Japan on 27 April is also highly anticipated by fans.

[“Cut” Interview] Pretty boy’s BDC view of life

Aphrael77’s note:

I didn’t save pics of Japanese “Cut” magazine, so these pics are from Zegda and totally not related to the article at all ^^. Chinese website Sohu Entertainment translated the “Cut” interview.

As much as we all adore JKS’ pics, I love his interviews equally too. Provided the interviewer doesn’t ask questions that we’ve all heard before, interviews provide an insight to Jang Keun Suk. The more I know about JKS, the more I admire and love him. He is the most dedicated and professional actor I’ve come across, and always so passionate and responsible for the things that he does. 🙂

Sohu Entertainment – Korean star Jang Keun Suk’s debut “Let me cry” album, originally slated for release on 23 March, has been postponed as a result of the massive Eastern Japan earthquake, and now the release date is confirmed on 27 April. Television dramas such as “You are Beautiful” and “Marry me Mary” have made this actor the best loved Korean star in Japan. His official music album debut has been much anticipated, and fans are not unfamiliar with JKS’ voice as he has sung drama soundtracks at fan meetings and on television. His musical talent demonstrated in Lounge H collaboration with good friend Big Brother also amazed fans. Upon the first hearing of “Let me cry”, many Japanese reporters who are not familiar with JKS are greatly surprised by the explosive power of his voice, and comment that JKS is frankly a rock singer and has performed his debut song effectively. Recently, JKS accepted the interview of reputed Japanese magazine “Cut”. Facing the reporter who has a reputation for asking challengingly tricky and sophisticated questions, JKS was open and talked freely about his experiences thus far, and answered questions like why he chose to launch his singing career in Japan.
