Q: In June, ‘Beautiful Man (Bel Ami)’ will be broadcast on KNTV channel for the first time in Japan. You’ve appeared on many romantic dramas so far, but what do you think is the most distinctive charm BM has?
The most important thing when I decided to appear on a drama is the character I play. About Dokgo Ma-Te, he associates with 10 women, but he changes how to approach each woman. In early days of filming BM, I discussed a lot with the script writer and the director. When he associates with each woman, he shows a lot of his unique skills. Every time he starts to associate a different woman, he transforms himself into a new personality. His hairdo and fashion style are also changed. When I decided to appear on BM, I thought it would be nice to play this kind of character that can be acted only in my 20s.

KBS2 Drama 예쁜 남자 “Bel Ami (Beautiful Man)” ended show with boos, the drama’s average rating is only 4%. As a drama stared by “Asia Prince” Jang keun Suk, this come out is really disappointing. Some people even said: “Jang Keun Suk is only popular in overseas” As Jang Keun Suk himself, his reaction is pretty calm, he quietly accepted people’s cruel comments.

Just recently Jang Keun Suk sat down with reporter in a bar in Cheongdamdong, Seoul. He revealed his thoughts. He said: “I’m only 28, not 30 years old yet, many people think I should be perfect. Recently I always hope that I reach to my 30 years soon, have some wrinkles on my face, so those sights looking on me may have some changes.”

When was asked if he cares for Anti fans, Jang Keunsuk answered: I don’t hate them, but I will not just separate as like or dislike. I think this way: (They) are different from me. I can’t ignore most people’s opinion, so I do care. I think my responsibility is to find out “What they like and what they want from me.”

by

This is an old video of Jang Keun Suk appeared on a Taiwan Variety Show “Making A Friend” in Oct 12, 2010. That was after Jang Keun Suk’s TV drama “You’re Beautiful” became so popular in Asia, he travelled to Taiwan for a YAB concert. MC Huang Zijiao invited him to his talk show. This show is really good. Back then, he was not as popular as today, but he was getting pretty famous in Asia. In the program he showed his funny, witty, sincere sides and also he was super handsome and your can see his long hair when he was filming “Mary Stayed All Night Out”. Thanks so much to Ivy that who used her time to sub it, so now all of us can enjoy watching this. It was towards the end of the show. He wrote a message to himself and will reopen it after 10 years from that time which was really touching. Now sit back, enjoy!!!

About Jaejoong’s Friends.

Jaejoong has a wider circle of acquaintances than Yuchun and Junsu. Nowadays, he often meets Jang Geun-seok. His house where he recently moved in is only 2 minutes away from Jang Geun-seok’s, so they meet almost every day. Jaejoong said “In some ways, he is incompatible with me though, this comes as his charm to me, so we mix very well.” Birds of feather flock together? There must be something why these two Hallyu stars get along well with each other.
