Jang Geun-suk to wrap up Asia tour in Korea

Hallyu star Jang Keun-suk will be wrapping up his Asia tour in Korea next month, according to his agency Tree J. Company on Thursday.

A press release from Tree J. announced that Jang will end his six-month Asia tour at the Hwaseong Tiger Dome located in Korea University in Seoul through a final fan meeting titled "2010 Jang Keun-suk Asia Tour The Last in Seoul" on September 5.

The actor had visited numerous fans in Taiwan, Beijing, Singapore, Tokyo, Osaka and Hong Kong since March.

"For six months I have received a generous amount of love from my fans all over Asia. I decided to add another date for the end of the tour because I didn't know how to say thank you to my local fans who have always been supportive of me," Jang was quoted as saying.

An official from Tree J. explained that the tickets for the event was ranked as the most-searched item once tickets went on sale. He also said they have received inquiries from fans in Japan and China to purchase tickets for the meeting in Korea.

Jang, 23, began his career in show business at the early age of five as a catalog model. He is well-known for his roles in MBC's sitcom "Nonstop 4" (2003) and "Beethoven Virus" (2008).

He became a household name all throughout Asia last year as the eccentric lead singer of the idol group A.N.JELL in the hit SBS' series ""Minamishineyo" alongside actress Park Shin-hye.

Tickets for his last fan meeting are available on Auction (www.auction.co.kr).

!Jang Geun-Suk taking You’re Pet’s lead role

   
    only one news outlet is reporting this, but Jang Geun-seok has reportedly been finalized as the lead in the Korean movie version of You’re My Pet, a remake of Japanese drama Kimi wa petto. The movie had gone through an earlier casting round and selected Kim Hyun-joong as the cute “pet” to a fashion-editor careerwoman, a role that was once rumored to be Su Ae’s.

   According to Star News, Jang has decided on the role and is currently finalizing the details. An A-list actress (yet-unnamed) is the top contender for the female lead, and once the rest of the casting is made official, the movie will begin filming.

    This ought to be interesting — back when Kim Hyun-joong was supposedly headlining, I had been turned off because his acting is SO inadequate that it even got in the way of my finding him physically attractive; in Boys Before Flowers, my annoyance with the acting spilled over into annoyance with the character. But Jang Geun-seok is not only pretty, he’s got comic chops as well as dramatic ones. Plus, there’s the fun trivia tidbit of Jang taking over this role from Kim considering that he had initially wanted to play the Ji-hoo role in Boys Before Flowers (which, of course, eventually went to Kim).
(The source article says Jang’s casting is a done deal, but until I see other outlets reporting this news, I’m not fully convinced this is final. For what it’s worth.)

Interview with Jang Geun-Suk After the drama You’re Beautiful was over

After the drama You’re Beautiful was over, Jang Geun-Suk dedicated one dinner for Q&A (questions and answers) session with media reporters.

Q (reporters): It was fun to watch You’re Beautiful. Because of Iris, which was showing at the same time, the drama’s rating wasn’t as good as it could have been. Don’t you wish that the ratings could have been better?

A (Jang Geun-Seok): I am happy that the ratings were at that level. If the ratings were more than expected and reached around 30 to 40 percent, character Hwang Tae-Kyung would have been stuck on me for a while. I could have had hard time picking the next work. I think the rating level of You’re Beautiful was perfect. I was satified with my acting and had a fun time. And I could get rid of all of its shadows quickly and start my next project.

Q: It is known fact that you have chosen Beethoven Virus instead of Goo Joon-Pyo (role that Lee Min-Ho had taken) in Boys Before Flowers. Don’t you have any regrets?

A: If I have to make the decision again, I would still have chosen Beethoven Virus. I also wanted to act Goo Joon-Pyo in Boys Before Flowers but I thought that I needed to advance my acting. If I had taken the role in Boys Before Flowers, then my acting would have been static. My decision was correct and I felt that my acting has improved in the set of Beethoven Virus. I thought that choosing You’re Beautiful was a good timing.

Q: You showed up in first MKMF as a drag queen and wore a unique clothing in one of the acting award ceremony (pictures in below). What was your reasoning?

A: Performance in MKMF was a result of miscommunication with the staff of MKMF. I didn’t really wanted to do it but I had to do it. I thought that if I had to do it, I wanted to do it right and make it memorable. It didn’t really fit my image at that time but I think I looked awesome. For the clothings in the award ceremony, I wanted to try something different. I wanted to avoid cliche clothings but resulted being too ahead. Who knows, my clothings from the ceremony might be revaluated years later and become a standard.

Q: What do you think about the comparison between your role and Kang Ma-Eh (the conductor) from Beethoven’s Virus?

A: When people said that my acting was similar to Kang Ma-Eh, honestly I was stressed. Audio director told me that if I didn’t do the drama Beethoven Virus, I wouldn’t have heard those comments. I attempted to refer to Beethoven Virus in the very beginning of You’re Beautiful because the characters were similar. However, I had decided to forget about Beethoven Virus and refer to Miranda in Devil Wears Prada.

Here is a translation of Jang Geun-Suk’s honest 7Q7A:

Q: There is a controversy on your height. What is your actual height and weight?

A: It is 182 cm. People are surprised when they see me outside of TV because I look taller outside of TV. From filming of You’re Beautiful, my weight dropped to 62kgs.

Q: Do you think about debuting as a singer?

A: No. I like music but I feel that doing music as part of a drama is enough. However, some actors are active in Japan with their own albums. I might think about releasing an album in Japan.

Q: Scandal with Kim Yuna? Gay theory?

A: I never met with Kim Yuna. And I like women. (smile)

Q: Who is more of your type, between Park Shin-Hae and After School Yui?

A: It is Chae-Ran (actress who played aunt of Park Shin-Hae). Haha.

Q: When would you start your military service?

A: According to my physical, I will be serving in a regular army. However, since I am young, I don’t think I am going to army anytime soon.

Q: How are you attending your college (his major is in acting)?

A: I used to always attend classes in Monday and Tuesday. However, since You’re Beautiful started, I had to skip some classes. My professors told me to take the final so I am planning to do so.

Q: What does school mean to Jang Geun-Suk?

A: As an entertainer, it is hard to make friends around my age. School is the only place that I could make friends who are around my age and can understand me.
