“I wanna get married sooner than next week…”

It was our exclusive!!!

We went to Korea to see JKS, who has become a craze after “You are Beautiful(YAB)” broadcasted in Japan. In YAB he played a charismatic vocalist of a very popular pop group. And also in his latest featured drama “Marry me Mary (M3)”,which is now broadcasting in Japan, he played a musician.

“I wish I could live like Mu-gyul. He isn’t influenced by money. He lives freely by music alone,” JKS told us the reason why he decided to play the role, Mu-gyul, a vocalist of an indie band.

M3 is a romantic comedy drama, beginning with a fake marriage between Mae-Ri and Mu-gyul to escape from an arranged marriage. In M3, Mae-Ri describes Mu-gyul as a

Shanghai Cri Show pre-order ends Fri 27 May, 12 noon (China time)

Just a reminder for those considering going that the official pre-order will end this Friday at 12 noon (China time), which means that whichever pre-order mode you choose, your payment must reach the other party before the deadline.
For details, please refer to this post.

In response to a query, I am planning to go to Shanghai Cri Show (with Chicken Little), and in fact after days of anxiety and frustration over bank transfer issues, I’ve decided to pre-order through KeunSukChina and today transferred the payment in US dollars to KSC via Paypal, which turns out to be the easiest method. You can google on Paypal and find out how to register and use it. Paypal needs verification from your credit card company though, a process that may take 1 to 2 days though my memory may prove wrong (please call your credit card company to find out). Then there is a transfer fee charged by Paypal, not to mention the currency conversion charged to your card.

The good news for those who want to pre-order Shanghai Cri Show ticket is, you can place your order with KSC even if you are not their forum member. However, KSC informs that

* It was already late into the night when Jang Keun Suk accepted Easy’s interview, but he did not show any sign of exhaustion despite a full day of gruelling schedule. He was equally lively when it came to talking. Easy is very touched and grateful to JKS for speaking so much in his response to questions, and the little amusing incidents that happened during the interview also swept away the exhaustion of waiting and made the interview a happy one.

Venturing out of Korea and having achieved much success in Japan, Jang Keun Suk is apparently not contented with his excellent results. This talented young man has set his sight on the much broader China region. The contract-signing ceremony in Shanghai on 16 April is still a fresh memory, and JKS’ grand journey is just starting.
