I don’t know whether tonight I can last until news of the 2nd Lounge H performance in Osaka come trickling in slowly via fans’ Twitter and Baidusukbar, because the strong cough medicine I’ve been taking for the past 2 days are making me very sleepy, despite the doctor’s assurance that the day-time medication is non-drowsy. I mean, I haven’t even taken the night-time medication yet, and I want to sleep at 9 pm, something which I haven’t done for the past 20 years or so, haha!

So here are the first few pics circulated today,

[11 Feb 2011] Lounge H in Osaka

A beautiful poster of Lounge H, with a beautiful message on it from Jang Keun Suk:

“It has always been my hope, in a space where I can feel everyone’s proximity, to enjoy our time together. In the cherry blossoms season in Japan, I hope my wish can be fulfilled. Jang Keun Suk’s legend is just starting. Please look forward to the future me.”

Fans at Lounge H today can take home this beautiful A4-sized poster – so envious!

Lounge H has already ended, and from Sukbar’s online broadcast gathered from fans’ Twitter, it seemed to be a wild, wet event… … wet on account of the alcohol being sprayed around, and with JKS and Kurt dancing their hot dance, drenched in alcohol. JKS also pulled his manager Kim and another fellow worker on stage to join their dance and during the encore, took off his shirt and splashed himself with water/wine(?). Frankly speaking, if everything goes well and I’m able to get my hands on a LH ticket for the Singapore event, I’m not sure whether my heart can take it! Too ‘hot’ for me!

JKS shared that he had finished his new album’s song recording last week, and he sang a small part of it at Lounge H. One new song in his album is

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.
