Actor Jang Keun Suk is an experienced actor, this year being his 20th debut anniversary. As someone in his mid-20s, he has lived 20 years of his life as an actor. Just this point alone is staggering. During this period, he had gone through gruelling test, met admirable senior actors and had experienced the tumultuous changes of an actor’s life. Even though he is still very young, in his list of works, the most appropriate term of address is “actor Jang Keun Suk”. And he has now transcended to a higher level. With his trademark confidence and thinking philosophy, his never-ending self contradictions, he is progressing towards a new world. Not only in his imagination but having realized his dream in reality, actor Jang Keun Suk is emitting a dazzling aura.

Q. Felt that you were very happy attending the Busan International Film Festival. What’s your feelings since it’s your first time attending?

After participating in it, I’m deeply taken with the city of Busan and the theme of the Film Festival. I even hope that the Festival lasts 6 months in a year! It’s really happiness to spend time with people who love movies. There are many things to see, many respected seniors, actors and directors came, and I also went to unexpected places. In brief, because of Busan International Film Festival, Busan is, to me, a place that can be called the “Heaven for curiosity”.

Q. Heard that you were chatting happily with Rain, Go Soo, Song Hye Kyo and Kim Sun A at a food stall. Just being with these people makes one feel what a film festival is.

[Interview] 10asia

In fact, I was honestly afraid to interview the strange creature who calls himself “Prince of Asia.” On the contrary, the conversation with him was quite fun. He is Jang Keun Suk, a frank and open guy who showed us both his strong and weak points as honestly as possible. His fans describe him as the most lovely and brilliant person. If I add one more to it, I will describe him as the most honest person. Actually he has a good figure, but he is a rare and remarkable young actor who shows us what JKS is plainly, which is quite different from many other actors who show their best side and hide their worst side from others. He shows his true self such as he yawns openly when he finds it boring. I’m happy to share our exciting dialogue with you.
