Jang Keun Suk departed Korea at 5:40pm via Asiana Airlines OZ1145, arriving at 7:20pm local time at Kansai Airport, Japan for his Lounge H Japan tour. Some 50 fans were at the airport waiting to greet him, and JKS is as cute and friendly as ever.

Jang Keun Suk is so cute, he’s such a sweet talker 🙂
And as happy as a child when fans said he’s more handsome than Hong-ki. And seeing him raise his hand to reveal a secret, just like a child’s behaviour. Sigh, what a cute boy…

Also got to know some interesting tidbits of news about “You are Beautiful” that I didn’t know before…

JKS at spa over New Year break


Credits: Big Brother Tweet

Omo~ my goodness!!!!!! Jang Keun Suk and his friend (is that Big Brother Kurt?) at a spa for men. JKS shared with eels on his website that he is spending the New Year break with family, friends and dog Sunni at a skiing resort. It’s great that JKS gets to enjoy the festive holidays with family and friends, and he doesn’t forget to share, er, delicious updates of what he’s doing ….

The original Tweet says that it’s a spa for men / “couple”. Did I understand that wrongly? Or perhaps friends can also make use of the couple spa? 🙂

[29 Jan 2011] News snippets from Seoul FM and LH

These are what Jang Keun Suk said during his 29 Jan events, and what we hear from people who were there.

1. JKS will be recording his new music album from 31 Jan onwards, and he sang a line from his new song.

2. JKS said that he had wanted to produce an album earlier, but generally Korean music producers tend not to give very good songs to actors, and he had actually been in touch with many music producers before to ask for their help, but it was very difficult until he met the music producer of “Marry me Mary” (M3). JKS felt that he must grab the opportunity to collaborate with this music producer.

[Me: Don’t understand which record company / music producer would want to pass up the chance to collaborate with JKS whose star power almost guarantees good album sales?]

[29 Jan 2011] TBS online broadcast of Yokohama Fan-meeting

06
What an extremely busy blogging night!

Unfortunately, the online broadcast was a complete let-down. The website was totally inaccessible and I only know of one eel who managed to watch it online. Guess I won’t be trying to watch online broadcasts again. The lesson to learn is, it is still better to buy the original FM DVD to support our Keun-Suk oppa 🙂

So here are just some screen captures of the show for consolation.

[29 Jan 2011] Frontline news from Seoul fan-meeting and Lounge H

08
For those of us not there in person at Lounge H (LH) today, these pictures are all we are going to see.

Haha, does it make you feel like attending LH, just to experience the electrifying atmosphere our dear Jang Keun Suk whips up? ; p
p.s. any other LH pictures of JKS circulated online will of course be illegal ones (so keep them to yourselves), since JKS himself always expressly asked eels not to take pics of LH.

First, the man appeared at LH with a sexy butterfly tattoo behind his ear, said tattoo being a side product that was on sale at the event.

Then, I laughed like mad at this next titbit of news.

[27 Jan 2011] Samsung Galaxy live showcase

12
Now, how does one blog about an online, broadcast showcase that one has not seen? Basically, I don’t care what happened at the showcase (haha) so long as I can feast my eyes on Jang Keun Suk, and boy, was he gorgeous!

The ‘gorgeous’ part might be a bit debatable though, depending on your sense of fashion, because JKS has again managed to stir up a bit of controversy over his dressing. I suppose the point of controversy is his see-through shirt, which adds to the delectable part. My own sense of fashion is deplorable to the extent that I don’t trust my own taste, yet may I venture a small suggestion that perhaps it was that black strip across the chest that makes it look like … a bra? Couldn’t the translucent and black form other patterns i.e. straight horizontal black strips, or a heart shape, diamond shape, whatever shape? Still, overall, I think he still looks great 🙂
