First important note is, I seem to recall that Koari can only deliver to Japanese addresses (if my memory serves me correctly). Oh well, these items should be available on other websites after Koari’s pre-order period.

To me at least, it is worth waiting for the release on other websites….

Very happy news that JKS will be starring as the male lead in renowned director Seok-ho Yun’s new drama “Love in the Rain” (literally translated title) slated to be broadcast early next year!
With well-known works such as “Winter Sonata” under director Yun’s belt, this is surely a quality drama to look forward to, and hopefully will showcase JKS’ acting talent to the maximum and give a further boost to his career!

Hallyu star Jang Keun Suk will release his first official movie “Budapest Diary” in Japan on 26 October 2011.

JKS has also been involved in the production of the movie as well as the filming location. Aready the topic of much discussion way before its release, the movie is 45 minutes long and there is a 60-minute long making and behind-the-scenes DVD. JKS expressed that since the start of his acting days, it has been his dream to have his own photo-book and short film.

The promotional trailer also shows previously undisclosed scenes of JKS working towards his dream and participating in the production process.

Through an interview with Sports Chosun, Jang Geun Suk revealed that he had suffered from depression due to his excessive workload a while ago.

After filming for drama “Mary Stayed Out All Night”, he toured around Asia for fan meetings, and began filming for movie “You’re my Pet”. Not to mention he released singles and full-length album in between all these works; he even squeezed out time to film commercials. “In total, I had less than 25 days to rest in the past year.”

He further revealed that he had suffered from depression a while ago, “Fans tend to think I was taking a rest when I was not on TV, yet I was actually traveling abroad for work. Whether it was in Japan, Taiwan, or Singapore, I felt like I didn’t belong to anywhere.”

In order to see the glamour of the new-generation Hallyu star Jang Keun Suk, even the CNN from America has sent out its troops.

On 16 July, American and Japanese mainstream media such as CNN, Fuji TV and Tokyo Communications will be sending their reporters to the filming set of “You’re my Pet” to do on-the-scene reporting.

Such a big batch of foreign media coming to visit a Korean-produced movie set in Korea is quite rare. This is also indirect evidence of JKS surpassing Bae Yong-joon’s status as the new-generation Hallyu star.

This year in March, JKS attended this movie’s press conference in Japan. The filming had not yet started then, but tickets (to the press conference) were all sold out.

According to sources, upon strong requests from foreign media,
