28 June 2011 – Korean actor-cum-singer Jang Keun Suk had his first official photo-book “The Romance JPlus Photograph Collection” press conference on 28 June at Yokohama, and the public sale date starts from 27 July. Besides 500 eels in attendance, there was a record number of more than 400 media reporters attending.
JKS is honoured by the release of his first photo-book. “Rather than exhibiting a handsome or beautiful appearance, the main theme is what I’m like in my private life.”
Before the press conference, JKS visited the photo-book exhibition at Sogo Yokohama. “I wrote many messages there. Please be happy in looking for them, such as ‘You’re permitted to look at only me’!” Being his usual humorous self, JKS blew kisses at fans in between questions, generating lots of screaming.
In response to a request from a TV reporter, JKS performed a “shuffle” dance on the spot (both hands and legs in irregular vibration before coming together), showing his friendly side.
There were nearly 1,000 fans at the airport to welcome him. His sky-rocketing popularity meant that JKS could no longer go out to have a meal or a walk whenever he liked; this has made him feel sad and helpless.
