#WelcomebackJKS "Our new journey started on May 29th, 2020"
I must really report two snippets: one shows the usual wit of JKS in answering questions, and as for the other, I really need to spell out what I think of JKS’ friend.
Snippet (1):
Emcee: Where have you been recently?
JKS: China, Thailand and Japan not too long ago.
Emcee: Who did you go with?
JKS: Definitely not by myself.
Emcee: Don’t tell me you went with your girlfriend?
JKS: Closer to me than girlfriend… …
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 🙂
Celebrities really have the power to stimulate the economy i.e. get people to spend more money. Just look at Jang Keun Suk for example. His popular dramas and movies must have sold lots of CDs and DVDs overseas notwithstanding online proliferancy, not to mention all the “You Are Beautiful” accessories (stickers, earrings, keychain, pig rabbit stuffed toys etc). Then he embarked on his Asia Tour 2010. Not only were all his fan-meeting tickets sold out usually within the first day of ticket purchase (and they don’t come cheap), fans trailed him from country to country, spending on airfare, hotel etc.
On the rising tide of JKS’ popularity comes more commercial offers. Ever since his commercial debut at the age of 5, JKS has been fortunate, with commercial endorsements pouring in almost every year. Just this year alone, he has been to China and Thailand to shoot advertisements.
Then the guy decides to cut a music album
Congratulations to those who can be online on 27 Jan at 6.00 pm (China time) to watch Jang Keun Suk on the live telecast of Samsung Galaxy player’s promotional event in Korea. Below is a direct translation from Samsung website.
若你1月27日中國時間下午6時能上線收看張根碩在三星的網上直播﹐恭喜嘍﹗
以下是三星網站轉載的資訊。

Airtime for Jang Keun Suk in Korea with these latest commercials.
I can only say, when he appears in the middle of CF Ep 1, I was … screaming happily!
Mm… do you think two of Kang Mu-Gyul’s bandmates being in this CF is due to JKS, or just a coincidence? 🙂
CF Ep 2 is more of a red herring ….
Now, a note of warning, I don’t know how reliable HMV Japan is.
Heard news that JKS’ limited edition album is sold out during the Japanese pre-order on 24 Jan, but it seems that we can still order JKS upcoming album on HMV Japan website. The deadline is 27 Jan 2011.
So if you are ordering online, please exercise your usual sense and caution. I am merely posting the news and am in no way responsible should there be problems with your online order.
Brief steps given below (I’m supposed to be working now!!):
OLE announced their special contest “OLE Beauty Pageant”. 20 winners will fly to Korea in April 2011 to have dinner with Jang Keun Suk!
A search is on for the 20 winners, and see who will become JKS’ date.
One can take part in the contest via these 2 ways:

Most fantastic news ever!!
Jang Keun Suk is releasing his first solo music album on 23 March 2011 in Japan!!
Do I hear screams all across the globe? (Arrrrgh….!)
The album, to be released by Pony Canyon Japan, has 2 editions – the limited edition includes a DVD and the other does not. Now, I can’t read Japanese, but it seems like there will be 3 new songs in this album. And the music producer is the one who produced “My Bus” in “Marry me Mary” OST. They are in the midst of selecting songs, and recording will begin in early February.
On 27 March 2011, JKS will appear at his showcase at Tokyo Big Sight, where attendance is expected to be around 20,000 people.
For now, it seems that the album will be released in Japan first (or only?). I must get hold of the album by hook or by crook!

In anticipation of JKS’ Yokohama fan-meeting (FM) internet broadcast on 29 Jan 2011, I’m satisfying my own craving first with a close-up interview of the cute guy as well as shots of the FM.
在1月29日小帥橫濱 FM 網上直播前﹐先看看相關視頻和訪問。
完全可愛的張根碩﹗

Very creative work done by fellow eel, sorrowsdotear, who made this M3 cat out of snow.
This post is evidence that I’m really bored out of my mind, with no news of Jang Keun Suk except that he has returned to Korea today. What do eels do without news of Jang Keun Suk?
mmm …. we look for cats to play with? XD
