[News] Jang Keun Suk (AsiaPrince_JKS) official Facebook open

by

After his struggling for several days, Jang Keun Suk (AsiaPrince_JKS) official Facebook finally opened today (April 8th, 2013). There are some images of the header… Seeing them, we understand his struggles. ^^

I think opening Facebook means his playground for international eels.

Except his official fan club website,
he has already had JKS Cafe for Korean eels.
he has already had Ameblo for Japanese eels.
he has already had Weibo for Chinese eels.

Except these,
he sometimes uses twitter, but twitter is more like one-way communication.
he sometimes updates official apps, but it’s paid app only for Smartphone users.

But he’s now really stepping into the world to be World Prince.
Actually Tree-J has started to tweet in English.
And JKS surely knows there are many fans all over the world.

I really hope Facebook helps to form a bridge between our beloved Prince and eels.

Please access and click “like” button on his Facebook page. You don’t have to register FB account ^^

This is the final header on the opening day.
