[11 Mar 2011] JKS Japan Twitter

JKS left a message yesterday on his Japan Fanclub website.
The rough meaning is, he was very shocked when he saw the news in Hungary, and he’s praying that everyone will be safe.

“Bye Bye Bye” [Let me cry album]

Apologies for the jerky quality of the song – this is a recording from radio and anyway, this is just a first listen.
Please also bear with the long stretch of the DJ talking in the middle of the song (not sure but I thought I caught some snatches of news about the earthquake or tsunami?)

I’m definitely partial to slow, nice songs and “Bye Bye Bye” falls into this category – I like the feel of the song.
I can recognize JKS’ voice anywhere when he sings in Korean, but when he sings in Japanese, I wouldn’t have immediately connected the voice to him – is it just me, or does his voice sound different in different languages?

[Current affairs] Japan’s earthquake 11 Mar 2011

I am sorry that my concern has come rather late, and following various news stories, the situation in Japan is rather severe. The extent of the damage is unbelievable – death, injuries, the destruction of homes…. The people in Japan are fighting to survive the aftermath of such a serious earthquake and tsunamis, and our thoughts and prayers are with them. Various governments are ready to extend their aid, and so are many of the ordinary people.

Ibaraki, where “You’re my Pet” press conference was held just a week ago on 3 March, and Sendai, which is one of JKS Japan Tour venues, are also affected by this disaster….

JKS Malaysia Fan-meeting on 4 June 2011!

OMG!! After some confusion over whether the date of Jang Keun Suk’s Malaysia fan-meeting is 4 June or 5 June, the Malaysian organizer Rhythm Land has announced that it is 4 June! The same date as other Korean stars Big Bang and 2ne1’s fan-meetings (whoever they are …. 🙂 ) !

It was previously discussed whether JKS would change his FM date to avoid the clash, but now it seems that he is meeting them head-on! Admittedly, that may affect JKS’ ticket sales because there are fans who say that they wanted to attend both but may now choose the others over JKS….

Yay!! Happy news! I can start planning my Malaysia trip to see JKS!

[Personal] FM preparation part 1

Finally, I got a camera!

JKS is not the only person busy with all his projects and upcoming FMs; us fans are pretty busy too. Hours of drama to watch, websites to scour for JKS news, lots of things to buy ….

For a start, I have been on the lookout for a better camera for months, and JKS’ scheduled arrival in Singapore in April galvanised me into action. I realised that yesterday was the first day of the (quarterly or half-yearly) IT fair, where there may be worthwhile deals on cameras. Friday to Sunday (last day of the fair) would see very big crowds, so I decided on impulse to go buy a camera yesterday.

Being a fussy customer who wants to get as much as possible for less money, here are my requirements:

2009 JKS birthday celebration

Ok, ladies, we have gone officially into “history review” mode here, sieving through old pics and videos and seeing what looks interesting to be shared. As a relatively new fan, I think I’ve missed out a lot of JKS videos from the past (including this one which I saw for the first time today), so this is a good time to catch up!

Video quality is not clear, but it’s obvious that JKS was having a great time, seemingly without any care or worry. Love JKS the way he is – not keeping up any fake pretences or image in front of the camera, but just being naturally himself. I feel happy watching him being happy!

By the way … why was JKS wearing sunglasses in the supermarket? To avoid being recognised? He’d be even more conspicuous wearing sunglasses in a supermarket! And was that manager Kim in the video too? Too blurred to tell!

2011 Desktop calendar from “History of Jang Keun Suk”

These are some scans of the desktop calendar, but they are not complete, reason being the Chinese download site has me dumbfounded. Oh well, this is probably for the best since it keeps us honest and we should support JKS by buying the original if we can.

These 2 weeks with JKS in Europe is going to be hard for us fans to bear, and I miss him already.
I’m also getting bored, so if no major news come up, I may have to resort to reviewing the “history” of JKS too, haha~

Super Sexy Attire

Another attention-grabbing point about the Showcase is JKS’ fashion style! Frequently seen in gender-neutral clothes and oozing a sexy charm comparable to female stars, JKS attended the Samsung promotional event in a translucent black top which can be said to be the boldest attempt amongst Korean male stars to date.

JKS looks so cute in a white cone-shaped woollen cap and white pullover that I want to cuddle him! Again, the only person who can match it with slacks and still look good!

Gasp! JKS was spotted by a sharp-eyed and lucky fan at an overseas airport. Apologies for the rough edit of the pic, but I assume the girl may not want her pic to be posted everywhere.

JKS’ White Valentine’s Day

Question: What habit do you have before bedtime?

Before I sleep, I will think about what I’m going to do the next day, maybe it’s work, maybe it’s only a friends’ gathering. To think about what may happen the next day, I feel, makes things run more smoothly.

Question: Although a celebrity loses a lot of freedom, at what times do you think being a celebrity is good?
