Actor Jang Keun Suk reveals his feelings about being active in both Japan and Korea simultaneously.

Recently, JKS shot a series of posters for fashion magazine 《HIGH CUT》, and transformed into a man wavering on the edge between the 1970s and the contemporary era.

During the photo shoot, JKS presented the warm earth-tone series of brands such as Comme des Garcons、Rick Owens and Ann Demeulemeester.

In the interview that followed, JKS said, “Mum helped me to check my fortune for 2012. I’ll be busy until next year; she gave me mental preparation from January.” As he thought about the past year 2011, he continued, “I want to do the things I like, and live happily. I’m betting on my events in Japan. If that fails, it’s pointless to talk about popularity. Because I have gained more successes than I expected, I have become more cautious. Hope people can pay attention to my real life and growth process.”
