‘VOGUE JAPAN’ 2015 April issue summary translation:

VOGUE JAPAN editors prepared some types of clothes for him. Looking at them, he said clearly “I think this and that are good.” Especially, the one he was wearing for the cover photo, GIVENCHY’s tops and bottoms with gem of gypsophila. They also thought this would suit him well. Once the shooting started, he soon understood what the photographer wanted him to do. Meanwhile, he suggested them unexpected ideas. After the photo shooting, they asked him about the clothes he was wearing on that day. JKS answered, “I’m happy to wear a floral shirt today after a long interval. I used to like wearing eye-catching clothes such as glittering ones, leopard prints, etc. But recently I prefer to wear monochrome, more simple clothes rather than colorful ones.” They asked him, “Getting older is the reason why your taste changed?” He said, “I think it’s because every time I ask girls what kind of style they like in men, they always answer ‘I like simple type’. I felt it would be better if I like the same style as that of girls. So I’m trying to change in that way, but to be honest, I would return to leopard print someday.”

◆ ‘Men’ of Na Young Suk

Jang Keun Suk:
I had the foremost interest in him among the casts of ‘Three Meals a Day – Fishing Village’. He’s been known as a synonym for ‘bluff’ and ‘scoff’. However, I thought there was a distortion of the truth. Seeing him who’s survived in a harsh entertainment industry with such a unique character since a kid star, I wanted to know the secret power that keeps supporting him. That’s why I asked him to appear my TV program.

If you name someone with whom you’ve developed a special friendship, who is s/he?
Jang Keun Suk. We share so many things in common such as we love drinking, and we share up-down feelings. Lol. We are really in tune. His feeling up and down more dramatically than mine, but thinking of how we feel when we are depressed or very happy is really similar. That’s why we understand each other very well. We can conform to one another. Well, but we don’t get along with doing exercise, because it is his least favorite. Lol.

Both of you are very busy, so isn’t it hard to meet so often?
We live close to each other, so we sometimes spend having fun together. Keun Suk is always active and funny. I call him when I feel depressed or lonely. He understands my feeling and conforms to me. He gives me energy. That is a great help for me.
