Jang Keun Suk got the crowd going once more with his DJ skills and performance on stage.

Jang Keun Suk took part in the 2012 Summer Sonic Festival on August 18 and 19 in Osaka and Tokyo as part of his project group, Team H. Dubbed Asia’s largest music festival, the two-day concert included performances from major global acts such as Green Day, Rihanna, Sigur Ros and more.

Going on stage with his music partner, Big Brother, as part of Team H, the duo performed a string of their recent album’s tracks including We Are, Shake It, Gotta Get Cha and more, which were remixed, for 40 minutes.

The group followed the performance with an interview on stage discussing the festival and its music in English.

Jang Keun Suk will next be performing in Taiwan on September 1 as part of his ongoing 2012 Jang Keun Suk Asia Tour The CRI Show 2.
