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!

UPDATE (18 Feb 2011)

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,

“News” Summary

Today is a day where making sense of all the news and thinking of what to write is giving me a headache ….. there are so many things happening, some good and some bad ….. so here are the “news”:

1. Backlash from Lounge H performance
2. Female lead for “You’re My Pet”
3. JKS 2011 Asia Tour Announcement by 18 Feb

(1) Backlash from Lounge H performance

All is not at peace today in Sukkie-land (that’s a word I coined to refer to the world of JKS and eels). We know that JKS took off his shirt during the last two Lounge H (LH) events for the encore, and you may already have heard from other sources that during the 14 Feb Lounge H event, JKS even revealed a bit of his butt line (I don’t know how to translate this!).

Some of Sukbar eels who had been following an online live broadcast of LH could not accept this ‘wild’ behaviour from JKS and posted negative comments about JKS:
