Ok, I simply cannot resist posting this video.
This is definitely different because, well, for one, Jang Keun Suk hugged a fan, which gave rise to oohs of envy.
Also, while JKS was sitting at the table waiting for the autograph to start, he was singing casually to himself … 🙂

[24 Feb 2011] Conversational Snippets from JKS

What JKS and fans talked about during the autograph session. Hopefully, this gives my slow brain a kick so that I can think of what to say to JKS if I do get to meet him! 🙂

Snippet 1: From fan account 4 fromDC 희망엄마

Fan: I want to go to Singapore.
JKS laughs and asks: You’re going?
Fan: Of course, I’m all prepared.
JKS: So fast?!
Fan: Give me an encouraging sentence that will cheer me up during tough times.
JKS: Cheer up… because you still have me …. Hahahahahaha (JKS breaks into usual loud laughter… maybe because he himself thinks it is too mushy)

Snippet 2: From fan account 3 from DC희망엄마

OMG!! Jang Keun Suk is soooooo CUTE!

Look at the way he talks to that fan wearing the rabbit-ears hairband!
Look at the intensity of his gaze and his smile! OMG, if I were her, I’ll absolutely faint!!
And I think I’ll blank out, like I can’t think of anything meaningful to say to him!!

Video 2 below. I spent a few seconds trying to figure out what the difference is between the 2 videos, think there are some slight differences but will leave it up to you to figure them out!

[24 Feb 2011] Codes Combine Autograph Session

09
Well, we may not be there at Jang Keun Suk’s 1-hour autograph session in Hongdae, Seoul today, but the electric atmostphere can almost be felt through these lovely pics. The media cameras must have had flashed non-stop, thus providing us with so many pics of JKS from almost every angle and in almost every pose. The media had a fun time, though I almost went crazy uploading 92 pics into WordPress blog…. ugh … an utterly unpleasant and tedious chore that is only alleviated by sweet, sweet JKS gazing at me from every pic… drooling …

As the representative of the clothing line Codes Combine, what JKS wore is naturally of great interest to me. As mentioned before, my fashion sense is really lousy, so don’t quote me anywhere! I won’t admit I said that, haha…. Anyway, I think his attire is quite cool (cos of the black leather vest jacket), youthful (that’s the bright green pants) and at the same time, funky (that strange pic on his back)… haha… How does that sound?

Enjoy the deluge of pics!! And wait patiently for the page to load fully, ha!

2010 Asia Tour – Part 1

Ok, I’ve probably done something illegal by posting this video here ….
Have you all seen this video before?

I’ve seen short excerpts of it here and there in some FM Youtube clips, but this is the first time I’ve seen the complete video (and it comes in Part 1 to 10 – you all know how to get Part 2 to 10 already, right? I didn’t tell you anything you didn’t know, right?). This must have been taken from some DVD …. If you all have seen it before, then I won’t feel so bad i.e. that means I’m not taking the lead in law-breaking, so surely I’ll get a lighter sentence?

Ahead of Jang Keun Suk’s 2011 Asia Tour, the 2010 Asia Tour is old news already.
So before all of us get caught up in the whirlwind excitement of his fan-meetings this year, perhaps now is an opportune time to look at all the interesting behind-the-scenes of the 2010 Asia Tour.

I can only say, no matter how short the video is, JKS always looks deliciously perfect! Haha!
Oh, and I love the colour of his hair too!

[Message] From HS Media Sina

HS Media (19 Feb 2011, 02:59 hours China time):
Once, also on a late night as this, through a restless crowd, after being overwhelmed by applause and cheers, Jang Keun Suk shed off a day’s exhaustion… In the hotel room, he worked seriously on editing a video for fans to watch. In the extremely quiet room, he showed his quiet side, deep in thought. He always smiles in front of other people. Behind the scenes, we watch his efforts with heart-ache. Because of this, we are gathered together, only because of you, a man named Jang Keun Suk!

Aphrael77’s note:
A sensous message from HS Media – sometimes they post these messages, for promotional purposes I think. This is what I mean by professionalism. Besides acting, he studies movies in the university. Which other actor/singer edits their own videos?

HS_Media官方微博 :曾几何时,也是在这样的深夜,穿过熙攘的人群,被掌声欢呼声淹没后的张根硕张先生,卸下一天的疲惫…酒店房间内,认真的编辑给粉丝们看的视频。安静无比的空间里,留下了他不愿多语的一面,沉思。微笑,总是留给别人。幕后的我们看的辛酸,因此,凝聚在一起,只因有你,一名叫张根硕的男子!

2011 Jang Keun Suk Asia Tour Schedule

UPDATE (18 Feb 2011)

Malaysia’s date in the Asia Tour, 4 June, is now tentative instead of confirmed.
Don’t book your airticket yet!

Every JKS fansite should be buzzing with the news already – the long-awaited dates are out!

23 April – Singapore
30 April – Hong Kong
28 May – Thailand
4 June – Malaysia
9 July – Shanghai
TBA – Taiwan

Although they mention the possibility of a change, later HS Media (JKS’ Asia agency) added a note to say that basically, JKS’ schedule is very tight and there is actually little possibility that the dates will change.

And the good thing is, the email address of HS Media is provided. So if you have any enquiries or suggestions for the FM programme or the fans interaction part of the show, you can email them.

Singapore FM Update 1

The local organiser Colored Rhythms is releasing bits and pieces of tantalizing news via its Facebook page (as below). They announced today that there will be online ticketing, which makes it so much easier for overseas fans to purchase tickets. Anyone tempted by this to come to Singapore? In addition, the seating will be numbered, which means no more queueing for long hours before the event starts in order to get the best possible seat.

Of course, concerns were raised to Colored Rhythms about the capacity of the website to support the expected high online traffic. Heard that the ticketing website “Gatecrash” used for CN Blue’s sale of showcase tickets crashed the moment online sale opened and created numerous ticketing problems without any telephone support or service from the ticketing service provider (it must be related to their unlucky-sounding name). Colored Rhythms assured fans that they are not using Gatecrash and have taken note of the concern. In fact, Colored Rhythms is being so responsive to queries that I wonder how they have time to work.

JKS’ fan-meeting tickets have historically (almost?) always sold out on the first day of sales,
