From “umemployment”, JKS learns that “life is about choice”.

In the previous issue, we shared about JKS’ debut as a model at the age of 6 and with the support of his beloved mother and family, he started his artiste life as a child actor. However, in the process of struggle till his success today as the “Hallyu Prince” in everyone’s heart, the process is far from smooth. JKS has experienced difficult circumstances from the age of 15 when he could not get any work, but also because of that tough period, JKS has gained much experience which paved the way for his future glory.

“What is important is not the performance itself, but how one accepts challenges.” His drama became the topic of much discussion and his debut single achieved the honour of topping the Oricon chart. Despite these results, as the “Number 1 Hallyu Prince”, JKS still has very strict expectations of himself.

In a recent interview, JKS has said that “I always work hard not to let my surroundings become one that revolves only around a domineering me, because in such an environment, I will gradually destroy myself and fall apart mentally.”

When JKS was studying in New Zealand for half a year and after that acting in “Nonstop 4” (2003 – 2004), he had fallen into such a situation. At that time, this drama series was proclaimed to be a cradle for newcomers and had indeed made many young artistes famous. In stark contrast, JKS had not gained much popularity after acting in it.

EVERYONE’S HERO

His appearance brings a new wave to Korean drama fans, in fact the popularity that Jang Geun-Suk enjoys overcomes the phenomenon that was first set by the famous actor, Bae Yong-joon.

The 24 year old young man has enjoyed extraordinary success in foreign countries, especially Japan when his acting in You Are Beautiful has been repeated on multi channels there. The release of his first single, Let Me Cry which was also launched at the Land of the Rising Sun on 27th April received a very good response, at the same time putting Geun-suk as the most popular Asian star.

“Last year, after wrapping up Marry Me Mary, I only managed to have a 10 day holiday. After that, I have never rested,” he said, admitting that his schedule is so tight that he finds it hard to find rest.

The young man who was born on 4 August 1987 in Danyang, Chungcheongbuk Province, South Korea, began his artistic career at the age of six as an advertisement model. His career path was paved beautifully. When his parents wanted to sell their house, a buyer who was also a talent agent, encouraged Geun-suk to try his luck as a model.
