[article] “After a year absence, Jang Geun Suk is back” in Hawaiian paper

Not only in Asian countries, but in Hawaii where he went on vacation people are happy that Jang Keun Suk has returned to TV drama. In the article, the author shared a small encounter with Suk, too.

He’s been called beautiful, pretty and baby faced, but mostly beautiful. Actor Jang Geun Suk is back on the small screen as Dae-gil in “The Royal Gambler.” Born on Aug. 4, 1987, actor and singer Jang has seen tremendous popularity in Asia with his past dramas “Beethoven Virus” and “You’re Beautiful.” Jang has been out of the public eye for about a year after a tax evasion scandal last year.

Hoping to break the pretty boy image, his role as Dae-gil in “The Royal Gambler,” as an abandoned son born to King Suk Jong and a palace maid, will show more action and romance. I coincidentally met Jang in Hawaii this past January.

Actress Lim Ji Yeon was asked to choose between her SBS drama ‘Daebak’ co-stars Jang Geun Suk and Yeo Jin Goo!

Lim Ji Yeon, who took part in a natural photo shoot with ‘The Star’ magazine, answered, “It’d be best to mix the two together, but I’m still a little more attracted to the more manly Jang Geun Suk for now. But if I get older, I may like guys who are younger than me then (laughter).”

Do you think she made the right choice?
