5881086816_1f543da62f_b

28 June 2011 – Korean actor-cum-singer Jang Keun Suk had his first official photo-book “The Romance JPlus Photograph Collection” press conference on 28 June at Yokohama, and the public sale date starts from 27 July. Besides 500 eels in attendance, there was a record number of more than 400 media reporters attending.

JKS is honoured by the release of his first photo-book. “Rather than exhibiting a handsome or beautiful appearance, the main theme is what I’m like in my private life.”

Before the press conference, JKS visited the photo-book exhibition at Sogo Yokohama. “I wrote many messages there. Please be happy in looking for them, such as ‘You’re permitted to look at only me’!” Being his usual humorous self, JKS blew kisses at fans in between questions, generating lots of screaming.

In response to a request from a TV reporter, JKS performed a “shuffle” dance on the spot (both hands and legs in irregular vibration before coming together), showing his friendly side.

There were nearly 1,000 fans at the airport to welcome him. His sky-rocketing popularity meant that JKS could no longer go out to have a meal or a walk whenever he liked; this has made him feel sad and helpless.

[News] JKS’ popularity in Japan surpasses Gaga, anxious over popularity

01

27 June 2011– Stylish Korean star Jang Keun Suk held a press conference on 28 June 2011 for the release of his first photo-book “Jang Keun Suk 1st Official Photograph J Plus Series”, which will be on public sale from 27 July onwards. Besides 500 fans specially invited to the press conference, nearly 400 reporters came to cover this event and the organizers had to change the venue last minute for security reasons.

The role of Hwang Tae-kyung in “You are Beautiful” was the reason behind JKS’ meteoric rise in popularity in Japan, and there were 800 fans at Haneda airport yesterday to meet JKS. Besides the 800 fans today at the press conference and autograph session, there were also many fans waiting near the venue to catch a glimpse of JKS. At the start of the press conference, JKS said he felt touched by fans’ passion. “Because there were so many people, I was worried that accidents might happen, but luckily I reached safely.”

A point worth noting is that the scale of JKS’ press conference today exceeded that of Lady Gaga’s “MYV Video Music Aid Japan” which attracted over 200 reporters, and nearly on par with the currently most popular showbiz event “AKB48 Third Elections”, fulfilling the prediction that JKS’ popularity in Japan is slowly reaching a level far beyond other Korean stars.

This is how the Japanese eels welcome JKS at Haneda airport – with such orderliness and consideration that allowed JKS to walk slowly, wave and blow kisses at fans …. Once again, the Japanese wows us with their behaviour …. No wonder JKS misses Japan! He must be glad to be back! JKS said (was it at some interview?) that his album sold so well in Japan but he feels bad that he has not yet had the chance to sing there…

JKS’ concert starts amidst typhoon, claims in excitement that Taiwanese eels are his “wives”

25 June 2011 – Amidst his busy filming schedule, Jang Keun Suk still travelled to 5 Asian cities for his Asia Tour, and now is in Taiwan for the 3rd time to hold his concert. As usual, his parents accompanied JKS on the trip.

On 24 June at Taipei University Stadium, fans’ screams nearly lifted the roof as they danced and waved their lightsticks along to the music! After singing his debut single “Let me cry”, JKS greeted fans in Chinese, saying “Hello Taiwan! I miss you all very much!”

Despite an impending typhoon, fans had braved the rain to queue to enter the venue. JKS was very sweet in saying to fans, “I saw you all outside the window in the rain. My heart aches, so I want to put up a perfect performance. I love you all very much!”

Because there were some fans at the airport on 23 June dressed as brides, JKS also said at the concert, “Last year, I received many of your “promises”. This time, before I came here, I especially took a look at it.”

He also warned his fans laughingly, “All the fans here are my brides, this lifetime all of you cannot betray your promise to me! If you betray me, you’re dead!” All the fans screamed frenetically in response!
