Aphrael77’s note:

Jang Keun Suk’s first official photo-book will come out in 3 different versions!
For more details, please click below to continue reading.

I’m confused by some of the information. It seems as if “Jplus Limited” (the only one with the DVD) and Jplus are only available for sale in Japan and Korea, and overseas fans can only buy Jplus Favourite (the 80 photograph cards)?? I’m speechless … I am not sure whether these 3 versions are all there will be, or whether there is another international (or English?) version that will come out….

Pre-order starts on Frau (Japanese website) on 15 April 2011 to 10 May 2011. Out of the people who order “Jplus Limited” during the special pre-order period, 300 fans will be selected for a JKS autograph session in Japan. The organisers will then inform these 300 fans the details of the autograph session by mid-June.

Although “Jplus Limited” is only available in Japan, for those residing in Singapore, there is a way to get it.

I cannot pinpoint the exact source of the news, but Sukbar and Sina are circulating news that in addition to the agency contract that Jang Keun Suk will sign with HS Media on Saturday 16 April, he will also sign a music album contract with one of the biggest and reputed record companies in China, Typhoon Group. This news has the Chinese eels in ecstacy, as they look forward to JKS’ Chinese music album and the prospect of his further career development in China.

Some very brief background news about Typhoon Group: It’s buying over the shares of all EMI record companies in the greater China region. All the artistes under EMI will be transferred to Typhoon Group, including Jolin Tsai, A-mei, Elva Hsiao and Show Luo. All album releases outside of China will still be executed by EMI. In an environment where many Chinese music record companies are bringing in foreign capital, this is the first time that a Chinese company has bought over an international company.

Typhoon Group plans to branch out into music, movies, drama and other areas of the entertainment industry, and will continue to collaborate with artistes who have the potential.

Thanks to all the eels who are voting, JKS is leading by a wide, wide margin! And even better news is that I can access the GCMA website during the day today, and hopefully that is the same case for all of you, which means that we can continue voting for JKS!

If we continue to vote, there is no reason why JKS will lose!
Fighting!!
