Three years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake. At that time, we received support from various areas and countries all over the world. Especially Jang Keun Suk fans are promoting not to forget his thoughtfulness and the bond between them of that time.
Just 6 days after the disaster, on March 17th, Jang Keun Suk sent a supportive message on twitter. He held a message placard, ‘Don’t give up Japan!’ with a gentle smile. And at the same time, he also made a donation and sent blankets as soon as he knew the accident. Speaking of blankets for disaster victims, we usually imagine gray or brown ones, but the one he sent to them is bright-colored pink. And there was an encouraging message, ‘Don’t give up hope, Japan.’
His fans always thank him who always cares about Japan and eels (a.k.a. his fans). Currently Jang Keun Suk is recording TEAM H album. And his latest drama ‘Beautiful Man (Bel Ami)’ broadcast in Korea last November is going to air in June on KNTV.

The spring, spring, spring that we have all been waiting for is here. You guys had a sore throat last week because of the tiny dust that came from China last week, right? It was a weather in which we were even afraid of opening the window. Fortunately, because of the wind that blew on Sunday, it is said that the level of tiny dust this week will fall to ‘average’.
‘What should I wear this week’ that ‘STARCAST’ prepared, the first week of March is men fashion. We have prepared the suit that matches matriculation ceremony to warm look to prepare for the freezing weather in early spring.
Suggestion ① Military look&Long boots ㅣT.G.I.F! It is fiery Friday. It is the day in which we starts to naturally search for a club look. We recommend Jang Keun Suk’s military look. The long coat that has epaulet gives off the charisma just by wearing it. Metallic buttons and zipper details even add well-refined beauty.
The so-called hard tack pants matches perfectly with military style coat. It will become a way too obvious style when wearing sneakers to this. A fiery Friday better be special, right? Wear loose boots like Jang Keun Suk. It is worth giving a try for a fiery day, right?

‘Neo Hallyu’, ‘Asia’s Star’, ‘Asia Prince’ etc.. are some of the countless qualifiers made as he became the dynamic Hallyu star Jang Keun Suk.
Although he is not Japanese, his debut single as a foreign artist remarkably topped the Oricon Daily Chart on its release day, breaking a 30 year record for both Japanese and foreign male solo artists, which was set by Japanese singer Masahiko Kondō [近藤 真彦] in December of 1980.
In Korea, he is only known as an actor even though he is equally talented as other singers. Nonetheless, in 2011, Jang Keun Suk changed the history of Japan’s Oricon Chart with the debut of his single “Let Me Cry.”
Traversing the world, Jang Keun Suk gave many concerts. In 2010, the ‘Asia Tour’ and the ‘Japan Nationwide Tour.’ In 2011, ‘Asia Tour ~ Cri-Show,’ ‘Arena Tour,’ ‘Cri-Show at Tokyo Dome’ and the ‘Cri Show 2.’ In 2013, ‘Jang Keun Suk Dinner Show.’
