[Fan Account] Jang Keun Suk’s Cri Show in Malaysia
Kuala Lumpur, 5 June – Korean popular star Jang Keun Suk is holding his “The Cri Show” Asia Tour and has been to Singapore, Hong Kong and Thailand, this time finally coming to Malaysia to meet fans. Besides the performance, JKS also had a private function and closer interaction with fans. His friendliness charmed all the girls, who screamed and cheered often at the function and also at the Cri Show.
The highest-priced ticket costs RM 658 (VVIP) which may appear expensive, but benefits include attending the Cri Show, private function and the autograph or photo-taking, as well as seeing the most genuine side of their idol – it was definitely worth it for eels! JKS also shared his views and thoughts with fans, and his humorous and friendly attitude made it hard for fans not to fall for his charm.
For JKS’ fan-sign in Malaysia, the date of the event was changed a few times, making many eels unhappy, but
[Fan Account] Part 1 by Aphrael77: Fan-sign on 4 June 2011
Hi all, apologies for disappearing online for 2 days since Friday 3 June; everything has been so hectic and rushed. By now, I would assume other sources would have updated news of JKS and his events in Kuala Lumpur, so here is just a very quick runover.
After a rather comfy coach ride overnight, we arrived in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday 4 June at 5 am, and checked in at Berjaya Times Square Hotel to take a short rest and freshen up. We were meeting Carol70 in the morning to take me to Central Market to collect something (for me to ask JKS to sign on it, which I’ll scan later when back home), then we went to JW Marriott to check in. Um, our hotel arrangement in KL was slightly complicated, as some of us had booked a room at Marriott to be closer to JKS.
We reached Marriott at 11 am, discovered a group of eels there and realised our dear JKS was going to exit the hotel to go for his rehearsal. So we waited there, and waited, and waited …. Now, perhaps it’s part of my nature to complain, but I must really gripe about the unfairness of security staff in general, particularly in their treatment towards fans.
The Marriott lobby area towards the main entrance is circular, with a big floral centrepiece in the centre, so when JKS comes out, he’ll either go towards either side of the circular pathway which leads to two glass entrances. In between the two entrances was a glass panelled wall, and there was a Western couple standing against the glass wall, waiting out of curiosity to see who the star was. As more and more fans lined the side of the circular walkway, Carol and I decided to move to the glass panelled wall in front of the Western couple (they were taller, so we didn’t obstruct their view at all). That position would give us a clear view of JKS coming down either side of the walkway.

Guess what eels notice about JKS? ….

Wow, even if we cannot visit JKS’ first official merchandise shop at Parco Shibuya that opens from 3 June to 27 June 2011, the video above shows us what the shop looks like. Haven’t had time to watch the video from beginning to end, but the place looks big with lots of JKS goodies! …. A bit lucky I am not in Japan to visit his shop, if not I may be tempted to buy many things there or even camp there!
Some information from fans on Sina:
[Fan Diary] JKS’ YMP Filming on 2 June
A fan diary from Lost Little Fish dated 2 June 2011 from Korea as she tagged along to the filming set of “You’re my Pet”. YMP filming photos on Sina have been forbidden by their authors to be re-posted elsewhere until the release of the movie.
According to another fan, JKS was filming throughout the night of 1 June and on 2 June, he was still at the filming scene and catching up on his sleep during breaks. Heartache for this child. At the end of filming on 2 June, fans followed Suk to his car and a passer-by commented that the fans’ actions looked abnormal. Then this child said very loudly before he got into the car, “따라올때따라와라” ~ When you want to come/follow, please come! He’s consoling the fans and concerned that others said they were abnormal. Lastly, when he was in the car and told fans to be careful when going back home – very touching!
I never thought I’d be interested in a step-by-step account of an actor’s day of filming … but I’m interested in whatever Sukkie does. Happy reading!

[News] JKS being chased by fans when shopping in Tokyo, reveals girlfriend is Japanese
Tengxun Entertainment (1 June 2011, 00:06 hours) – Korean star Jang Keun Suk’s television drama “You are Beautiful” set the record in Japan for being the Korean drama with the highest number of repeat broadcasts, and the excellent sales of debut single “Let me cry” released on 27 April ignited his soaring popularity in Japan. JKS has become a hot focus of interviews for the competing mass media. Two Japanese magazines released on 31 May, Woman’s Weekly and Woman Herself (rough translation), have made JKS their cover model, and in an interview by Woman Herself, JKS unwittingly reveals that he has a “girlfriend”.
“Last year after the filming of ‘Marry me Mary’, I only rested for around 10 days. From then to now, I have not yet taken a break.” During the interview, JKS said that his schedule was so packed that he had no time to rest. “My girlfriend … is a Japanese …. Kidding!” His sudden revelation gave the reporter a shock! JKS also revealed that he had been chased by a primary school fan while he was shopping in Shibuya on a previous trip.
Recently, JKS is busy with the filming of movie “You’re my Pet” (YMP), and also with his fan-meetings in Thailand, China, Taiwan and Shanghai. On 31 May, Korean media reported that on 30 May
