“I’m actually Prince of Asia, but…”, even though he said like this, we don’t feel unpleasant. In this way, he has no qualms about describing himself as such. He is the very person, Actor Jang Keun Suk. He celebrates 20 years as an actor this year, but it’s been only a couple of years since his merits started to be appreciated. JKS, who played the role of one of the children in the drama “Fairy Keommi”, has eventually become a top runner of the Hallyu boom. How did he succeed to grab the public’s attention? We have high expectations for the future of this smart young actor.

hancinema_01

The power of Geun-seok led to sales.

The advertisements for the first and second episodes of Jang Geun-seok’s KBS 2TV drama “Love Rain” have been sold out. Interest in the drama can be proven by pre-sale to Japan, follow up on 350 domestic and foreign press as well as advertisement sales.

The first and second episodes of “Love Rain” for a total of 72 minute each can sell 28 advertisements in an episode. The advertisement cost for a KBS 2TV mini series after 10PM is 13.2 million hundred Won. “Love Rain” has made a total of 739.2 million Won (13,200,000 x 28 x 2 episodes ~ US$700,000).

Other than Jang Geun-seok is Yoona from Hallyu leader Girls’ Generation. This is also the come back project of Yoon Seok-ho from “Winter Sonata” and “Autumn in my Heart”.

The Korea Broadcasting System said, “Advertisement sales has happened the fastest out of all KBS 2TV mini series in the last 6 months. Jang Geun-seok played a big role in this as advertisement agencies pick him as the most favorable model. Girls’ Generation was also a big attraction to the agencies as they are one of the most popular girl groups”.

“Love Rain” is about the destined love of Seo Joon (Jang Geun-seok) and Kim Yoon-hee (Yoona) that was never completed in the 1970s that leads them to the year 2012 as Seo In-ha and Kim Ha-na.

<사랑비> 관련 크루즈투어에 대해서 다시 한번 말씀드립니다. 이번 투어는 배우와 협의 없이 진행된 사항이고, 촬영 현장 또한 볼 수 없습니다. 이에 관련 상품 서비스도 일체 이루어지지 않습니다. 이로 인한 피해는 트리제이와 무관함을 알려드립니다.
