[News] Samsung fansigning event features Jang Geun-seok

Oy. On the heels of that handsome, newly released Tae-kyung-inspired photo (and the one from the more sartorially questionable Japanese fanmeeting), we’ve got super-cutie Jang Geun-seok once again delving into his wardrobe o’ whimsy for this lovely new look, which he donned for a fansigning event on December 5. It took place in Seoul at the newly opened first store for Samsung Mobile.

So how do you know if Jang Geun-seok dressed himself for an event? If he comes looking like Snape, that’s a pretty big clue. Pale skin, greasy hair, stifling black wardrobe… If he’s wearing a (p)leathery-looking women’s suit snazzed up with roadkill, that’s another sign. Or if he’s dressed as some kind of ’80s-inspired mage apprentice. Or as an punk-rawk vampire. Or a rocker drag queen. Or a fresh-faced and wholesome-looking ajumma.

It makes me miss the days when he was trying to go over-the-top butch, perhaps to counter his naturally pretty looks. Most of all, I miss when he wasn’t trying so hard to be anything in particular and looked very cute just as himself.

[News] Jang Keun Suk buried in drama offers

In any case, it comes as no surprise that Jang Keun Suk, coming off his very popular role in the recently ended You’re Beautiful, is now being met with a landslide of job offers. (He’d already been approached for numerous CF offers while the drama was early in its run.) After heading to Japan last week for a recent fanmeeting, Jang is settling down to select his next project. He’s facing a happy dilemma as he looks over the scripts that came in while he was shooting the drama; currently, he is entertaining twenty different offers for movie and drama roles. His management said, “Starting while he was still filming, casting proposals have been pouring in. Synopses and scripts are piled on his desk like a small mountain. He hasn’t decided yet whether his next project will be a movie or a drama.”

You’re Beautiful’s popularity didn’t necessarily shoot him to stardom, since Jang was already a well-known actor when he took the role — he has about a dozen other projects on his resumé — but I will say that it produced his most memorable character. The drama may not have had the highest ratings but it generated a lot of buzz, and firmly established his place as one of the most promising young actors of his generation, who commands name recognition and a solid domestic and overseas fanbase.

[news]Jang Keun Suk screams in happiness

Have you guys recently happen to hear a happy scream in your day? The multi-talented Jang Keun Suk claims to be screaming in happiness these days.

Wondering why? Go under the cut to find out!

Along with his drama, ‘You’re Beautiful’ ending last month, he had been rushed to Japan for a fan meeting. After coming back to Korea, he claims to be “screaming in happiness” from all the different offers for casting. Not just that, along with the rise of A.N.Jell’s leader, ”Hwang TaeKyung’s” character, he has recently been gaining a large fandom base, which even today is growing.

Starting acting in a young age, Jang Keun Suk participated in more than 10 projects already and successfully maintained the popularity in every project he had worked on. Already confirmed on his acting abilities and the ability to transform into a character, he is known to be receiving more than 20 offers for movies and dramas currently.

Even one drama producer praised Keun Suk for his hard work by saying that Jang Keun Suk is a person that “anyone could trust in to do a good job.” His management recently stated, “Currently, starting from the drama’s filming, Jang Keun Suk has been receiving nonstop casting offers. Because he had to go to Japan right after the filming, there is currently stacks of scripts and synopsis for the movie and drama offers.” In addition they also added that, “Jang Keun Suk is currently taking a break reading through the synopsis and the scripts and checking them carefully and will be choosing his next project. We are not sure if the next project will be a movie or a drama.”

If drama and movie casting “love calls” weren’t enough, Jang GeunSuk is also receiving ”love calls” from the commercial industry proving the amount of popularity he has been recently gaining.

[news]Jang Keun-suk’s fifth Japanese fanmeeting

Fresh off his latest drama, You’re Beautiful, rising Hallyu star Jang Geun-seok held a fanmeeting in Japan on Sunday before a crowd of 2,000. The event was called 2009 Jang Keun Suk Fanmeeting in Tokyo and was held at Tokyo’s Sun Plaza. The attendees comprised fans from Japan, Korea, China, and even some who flew over from the U.S. to participate.

He sang several songs, including the song “Do You Hear It” (which he sang as part of the OST for his drama Beethoven Virus), “Good Bye” and “Without Words” (which he sang on the OST for You’re Beautiful), and even a trot tune.

This isn’t Jang’s first time in Japan; he held his first fanmeeting there in February 2008 and has held five total in that country. His popularity stems from the numerous roles he’s had over the past several years, several of which have been exported overseas with success. Among those are Hwang Jini, Hong Gil Dong, and Beethoven Virus, which will surely be followed by You’re Beautiful.

Following the fanmeeting, Jang flew back home to Korea, where he intends to take a break for the moment while surveying potential new projects.
