“I’m actually Prince of Asia, but…”, even though he said like this, we don’t feel unpleasant. In this way, he has no qualms about describing himself as such. He is the very person, Actor Jang Keun Suk. He celebrates 20 years as an actor this year, but it’s been only a couple of years since his merits started to be appreciated. JKS, who played the role of one of the children in the drama “Fairy Keommi”, has eventually become a top runner of the Hallyu boom. How did he succeed to grab the public’s attention? We have high expectations for the future of this smart young actor.

Hallyu star Jang Keun Suk makes a perfect transformation into a gentle Arts student with leadership quality, Seo In-ho, in the drama “Love Rain”.
In the drama, he acts the role of a 100% innocent and outstanding Arts college student in the 1970s, and also the role of a modern commercial photographer Seo Jun who has a cool exterior and a passionate personality.
The photograph of JKS being immersed in his student role and passionately sketching makes people think of a scene from an innocent comics, and the 180-degree difference from his usual lively self is eye-catching.

Movie “You’re my Pet” (YMP) has just shown in cinemas on 10 Nov but its pirated video is already circulating fast on the internet., including video clips of JKS and the OSTs he sang in the movie. The movie will air in Japan next year, and the pirated videos infringe on the rights of the consumer.
JKS said angrily, “The movie that we have worked hard and with passion for 5 months to produce is spread via illegal recording means; it’s really impossible to remain calm. What is the telephone number of the internet enforcers?”
The production company is also very concerned. “We hope that everyone will go to the cinema to enjoy the happiness of YMP. Illegal audio (and video) files are absolutely not permitted. Please immediately delete the illegal files uploaded onto the internet. For those who downloaded the files, please do not continue to circulate it on the internet. This is an action that seriously violates the production’s legal rights. Eels should take the lead in observing the law.”
YMP is adapted from Japanese manga and narrates the amazing cohabitation story of a domineering woman Ji-eun, who has beauty, figure and capability but does not know love, and her pretty-boy pet Kang In-ho (JKS).
