Just Crazy: Guardian Star's Production Secret




[Guardian Star] Production secret

JKS: This is the song that was disclosed last year in the Arena tour. I mentioned during the performance that this song was made for Japan's Earthquake disaster, when thinking about what to do for the Japanese people, I sang this song. Finally it is published on a CD, I’m very happy.

Music Producer: Keun Suk and the staff discussed for a long time, before making ​​this song. During childhood I had a game of looking at the stars in the night sky, I remembered giving names to the stars. It begins with what Keun Suk wanted to express in this commentary. He wants to convey a message to everyone that we all can work together and move forward, this is the idea of it. Needless to say it is a solo by Keun Suk, a very wonderful and soothing rhythm it’s definitely worth listening to.

In this song there is a part which touches me "Holding tightly to a hand that I once let go”. Last year, in the music industry's analysis, without any publicity in Japanese Entertainment, his first debut sold so well, not because of the yearning of fans, but because Let Me Cry and Bye bye bye had bid farewell to the past (the Dead), they showed a gentle grief and a strong hope towards the future, in a sense it can be said that the lyrics predicted what kind of future lay ahead.

《守护星》制作秘话(附 中文歌词翻译图片):(译1)SUK:这是去年雅典娜巡演披露的曲子。在当时的舞台上也说过:这支曲子诞生的起因是东日本大震灾,在想着能为日本的大家做些什么时,唱起了这首歌。终于可以在CD上发表,感到非常高兴。音乐总监:根硕和工作人员们一起商量很久,做成了这首曲子。

音乐总监:孩提时都有看着夜空的星星游戏的时候吧,我就记得小时候曾给星星起过名字。这一点开篇时在根硕的解说词里表达了。想传达大家携手迈步向前这样的意念,根硕的独唱不用说,非常美妙的间奏也是很值得一听。

这首歌中那一句“握紧曾经放开的手”让我感动了一下。去年音乐界分析,在日本全国娱乐自肃没有宣传的情况下,他的出道盘大卖,不仅是因为粉丝的想念,还有LMC和 ByeX3都有告别过去(亡者)的温柔悲痛和坚强地走向充满希望的未来的内容,某种意义上讲几乎可以说是未卜先知最应情境的歌词。

[NEWS] Jang Keun Suk finally reveals the music video for “Abracadabra”




The Prince of Asia, Jang Keun Suk, has shaken female fans’ hearts with a new music video.

On October 18, Jang finally unveiled the music video for “Abracadabra” on YouTube, the song which was released in May.

“Abracadabra” is a follow-up track to his first official Japanese album Just Crazy that ranked at the top of the Oricon chart as soon as it was released. It is also his fourth music video following “Let Me Cry,” “Crazy Crazy Crazy,” and “Stay,” which are his debut single, title, and follow-up track to his first official album respectively.

“Abracadabra” seems to generate a different atmosphere from the delicate, sentimental track, “Stay.” The lyrics seem to put listeners under a spell and its addictive melody stands out. The video itself reveals Jang’s unique appeal. His exotic appearance and dreamlike expression seem to seduce female fans.

According to his agency, the celebrity showed his passion as he enthusiastically monitored himself in the camera without drying up after shooting a scene in which he sings under a pouring rain.

Currently, the star is in the middle of running 2012 Jang Keun Suk Asia Tour “The Cri Show 2.” On the 6th and the 7th, the singer attracted 115,000 people for the concert held in Fukuoka, Japan. In addition to his concert to be held in Shenzhen on October 27, he will hold three other concerts at Saitama in Japan on November 26, 27, and 29. After that, he will be wrapping up his big march.

[ARTICLE] The Moment of Facing Jang Keun Suk – Korea Bazaar 2012 October Issue


Bazaar 2012 October Issue
Title: The Moment of Facing Jang Keun Suk

Preface:
July in Paris, the gloomy weather is all around; August in Shanghai, had scary encounters with saeseng fans; Jang Keun Suk appeared with clean suit in a coffee house at abgjeondong. Face to him, during the time, prejudice, selfishness and bad idea all cause different characters of him, we shared different stories, but his sincerity is the only one.

Author: 진행/ 김민경 (freelance)
Photographer by Zo Sun Hi

If you typed “Jang Keun Suk” to your computer screen, you can’t find a start for the interview. In the time of hesitant, in order to centralize we arranged 5 min game time. What is the hot news in entertainment business today? When the mouse stopped at “news update” and “popularity” ratio, immediately, “Jang Keun Suk in Girl’s Clothes” was the one. With smoky eye shades, even the nails polished perfectly and the gesture that as “she” can fly away by a whistle. Definitely this is a “beautiful girl”, as Jang Keun Suk self claimed “more exciting (transformer)”. He was the director of this. Called himself “Garyu (girl)”, he posted this on twitter for 3 min, it was already on the news all over the place. With this picture as a start point, I clicked my cursor behind his name which before I wasn’t sure how to continue, and sent out what I want to write about him. Jang Keun Suk is a kind of person that the photos maybe others are afraid to expose but rather to hide, but he will take picture by himself and throw to the world. Thanks to him, an actor who has thoughts, a singer who touched audiences on stage, I don’t feel burdened that I need to package him with all the words that usually show on the paper. From Paris, where they looked for vehicle for photo shoot, to Shanghai, the third Cri Show tour, then the coffee house where we were finishing this interview that was put aside because of the Paris trip. In past 3 months, I saw, I heard, I felt and even occasionally peeked “a no reservation story” of Jang Keun Suk, and the difference between “Jang Keun Suk as a person” and “Asia Prince Geunjang”. In stead of pre-designed lines, he would be more interested to the descriptions in the brackets; he will accept this article I think. But honestly, I don’t know why, before I publish this interview, I feel the anxiety coming to me that I may need to go to him to repent sincerely.

July, Paris

When the plane door was about closed, Jang Keun Suk came in, he wrote his name on the final passenger list. During more than 10 hours flight time, he came to economy class twice where his staff was at. The curtain is like a steel screen as separation, he left his business class and run through the narrow aisle, the first thing he said was:” From Gangnam to airport, I used 30 min “flew” here. Surprise? I was late for boarding, so I rode on the Korea Air cart at the airport.” Even with this tight schedule, but he managed to post the picture of him with his managers riding the airport cart on twitter. And put words “Have you ridden on this?” to announce his Paris trip. He sat on the handle of the photographer Zo Sun Hi’s seat by aisle. He didn’t say “excuse me I’m late” but rather be proud that “Aren’t you surprised that I catch the flight to be with everyone?”
The situation was suddenly a star appeared in economy class, there were some commotions in the passengers. But in fact, Jang Keun Suk’s skin failed to their expectation. He has this physical characteristic that his body swollen will all show on his face, till 3 or 4 o’clock pm his face will recover to fair and clear and till then he will be like an artist “glowing”. Although is not necessary I have to give a “plain face Jang Keun Suk” as a gift to my readers, but Jang Keun Suk didn’t even give me the choice of words. Before when you feel the difference between the real stuff and what’s normally on the cover page, one of his staff gave him a glance “better go back now”. Jang Keun Suk wasn’t happy about it:”Does an artist have to be special? It is only a profession and we are human too. Why we always need to be handsome, beautiful? That’s no fun.” I thought he would hide, but he did not. If he knows how to disguise, there will be less hypercritical looks towards him. This kind of regrets only belongs to the people around him. Jang Keun Suk doesn’t carry this with him around. Is not that he doesn’t know the way, but he tosses away the “manual” after he read it. His action is always so direct to the point.

It was in last year, he got on stage to congratulate to Ms. Kim Ha Neul who got best actress award, Kim was his acting partner in the movie You’re My Pet which was also about to release. He was trying to easy Ms. Kim who was crying and nervous, he used his wit to help the situation. But he got critics as” You think this is Hollywood?” Normally, to be modest and shy consider a courtesy at award ceremony. As in Korea, a country which value old traditions so much, Jang Keun Suk no doubt is something else. To Jang Keun Suk, he is not used to often keep in a low profile and saying:”No I’m not… it’s alright…” But he is also not being uncontrolled on self expansion, and swaggering all around arbitrarily. Even he keeps moving, at the time when he wants, he will come to the place where he was at. For this part, there are lots of people criticize him meanwhile there are very few people attack his acting talent. After “You’re Beautiful”, “Mary Stayed All Night Out” and “You’re My Pet”, one after one, even these role choices have been questioned to ingratiate for favoring Japanese and Asian markets, as this year is the 20th anniversary of his debut, it will not leave a big blank because of this. Look back to his other works, he played roles were very different to his age type. TV drama “Huang Jin Yi”, movie “Happy Life”, TV drama “Beethoven Virus” and movie “The Itaewon Homicide Case”, none of them the roles matched his own age.

“Many people are worried that if I intend to choose some acting roles with tendentious. I don’t really have this kind of thought in me such as “I will give all myself to what people expect me to.” But like needs to balance with demands, supplies should be balanced. We can’t against “The principle of the market”, right? In life when you live between choices and focus, I actually pretty much manage my value successfully. At least I gave audiences the fresh acting that still with hot steam on. So is not like that I don’t have marrow of work.

During the stay in Paris, even there was not one day with ideal climate and nice weather, he never complained about it and he had to always button up his coat to get warm. Someone even questioned: Is there a totally different “Our Paris” and “His Paris?” He really had so much fun. He made new French friends everyday. From the hotel on the way to the restaurant, we walked with him on the street just like those blonde girls did. He saw some fans that had followed him since he arrived at the Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport, he didn’t just lower his head and say “thank you” to them. The first greeting he said with 3 sentences:” Am I good looking? You’re beautiful too. What’s your phone number please?” Oh dear, I don’t think that everyone believes that he would really want their phone numbers, how can you speak like that? You can definitely get refreshed by his words and be your best. He responded to people who are nice to him with his own “Jang Keun Suk Style”. The fans were so much in love with this star, who did shuffle dance with them, who took pictures with them. But Jang Keun Suk knew very well what’s his real position here.:”Is not like that you are holding a board with my name on it, then you’re my fans. These people come here because of Kpop sensations, they might be the fans of an idol group. Even they just be here as the masses, but next year I will make them to be my real eels and that’s my goal.”

Surprisingly, he understands so well where his position is. In the documentary which was broadcasted at the beginning of this year, he said that he knew very well about his big popularity difference between Korea and Japan. Just like ride on a roller coaster. Sometimes he will fall down by the air rotation rule, and, only in the cycle he can keep his exciting feeling at the same level. Jang Keun Suk enjoys the cold and sharp look that people give him. Inside him, he is doing the air rotation himself, his glamorous sense and plain sense are paired together, he tried to keep them balanced. Maybe for most people, the commotion and glamorous are favored, but for him he knows by heart how to have plain sense. Korea is conservative country, as an artist Jang Keun Suk has strong “feeling action” inside of him, there is “only one” Jang Keun Suk, and it would be not common that this “only one” becomes to a new icon. It is not important to judge if Jang Keun Suk’s path is right or not. Before he left Paris, at hotel waiting room he plugged his iPod to the speakers and started to play party DJ for his fans. Seems those torn your eardrum heavy songs are his songs. So this is important: no matter how bad weather was in Paris, but the weather of Jang Keun Suk was “a nice sunny day”!

August, Shanghai

After the first Cri Show 2 in Seoul on July 7th. Jang Keun Suk started his Cri Show 2 Asia Tour to Yokohama, Japan, the third stop was Shanghai. That was the first time I saw Jang Keun Suk on the big stage. I didn’t go to Japan to see how he does in Japan after he became Geunjang. In Shanghai I saw a real singer Jang Keun Suk. I got confirmed by that moment. From “Beethoven Virus” and “Hong Gi Dong” OST I got to know his voice, personally I like it. His low voice is really good with love songs, it can bring enjoyable timbre to your ears. When he debuted as a singer, he was on the top of Oricon chart. (note: Let My Cry single album) I thought he hit jackpot. But I didn’t have enough prove to question his singing. No matter what, maybe compare to slow love songs, (rock songs) suit him better. “I don’t know how to use those trained singing methods, in order to rule a two and half hour long show, I need to have more diversities. The most important thing is that people pay good price not just come to see Jang Keun Suk standing like a singing tree up there. Cri Show’s highlights are its splendid views and the story line keeps the show going. As singer Jang Keun Suk, his nature is an actor. On the stage I don’t want to lose the opportunity to mix both identities. The story starts as singer Jang Keun Suk and ends as actor Jang Keun Suk. Let’s say this, Jang Keun Suk debuted as an actor then also became a singer, even he is not perfect but definitely he doesn’t want to go easy by just playing safe. He is using his talents from both identities to work out the best. As one person plays two characters, is fun to watch the two emotions going at once. I don’t want to force two totally different characters to become one, that’s not what I mean. It doesn’t matter which identity is more or less. You will find balance inside your heart.” As an artist, on Jang Keun Suk’s stage, he uses his acting skills to expand his track. From this process, underneath is a sumptuous show as the balancing cross to both.

That night, there were 10,000 people filled in Shanghai Mercedes-Benz Art Center, during the show you could hear some people in audience speak fluent Korean, made you think if this is really in Shanghai. “There is a reason I like to use Chozer or Zikzin this kind of words. I want to have something like “Hi” “Hello” that people love to say it all the time. Start from eels, then these words used widely by eels, so one day even people who are not my fans may use them too. I don’t have the plan to become people’s ambassador. Culture can be spread and absorbed not related to languages and thinks. People say to Hollywood stars ‘I love you!’ to Hong Kong stars ‘Wo Ai Ni (I love you in Chinese)’ people who love Korean stars would say ‘Salanghey’.” Even he is already at this position, even he is very popular now, but Jang Keun Suk is still not used to the real situation. When he was out in Shanghai, there were more than 50 cars/vans of fans following him. (It is true, that was dangerous even more than in the movie). They had prepared the disguised vehicle, but still they had to cancel the celebration after the show. Not only that, the restaurant they reserved have been surrounded by fans, cause the traffic jam. Suddenly Jang Keun Suk became “A foreigner who disturbs Chinese public transit”. When fans encountered with the security guards, the Chinese police came, 4 lines of traffic had stopped, as requested by police, the staff had to go back to their hotel. As security reason, he had to leave Shanghai a day earlier. Jang Keun Suk posted on weibo to express his concern and asked fans that they can follow him, but please do not cross the center line, if it is like what happened yesterday, he will not be able to come to China to do shows since the local authority won’t approve it. He thought that was proper suggestion for the fans. Next stop was in Taiwan, those like car race followers were much less. At the press conference, he went back to his own nature: I said not to over center line, but I didn’t say that you can’t follow me. Keep safe and come to follow me, Taiwan!” This is Jang Keun Suk, this is Geunjang style.

September, Seoul

In Paris, Jang Keun Suk was an emotional actor, he shared his story; in Shanghai, as a singer that he was still trying, he has proved that he present a great show. After these two cities, I was even more interested in him. I keep following him until he asked me:”Do I have to this cheeky interview?” I asked him come to the coffee house. It was more difficult than I thought to bring him there. Find a quiet coffee house, just on the Rodeo street center. Wearing a classic suit Jang Keun Suk walked to the place instead of driving. People see him on Rodeo Street might just think that he has some scheduled event. Recently, he is busy and has lots of meetings, he has prepared a few sets of suits. So he played a “CEO Game” at office, after work on the way back home he posted pictures and brought himself as the topic of the talks.

“If I need to use all my fortune to replace something, I would like to buy “time”. I watched movie “In Time” played by Justin Timberlake. Just like in the movie, if I can buy the time I need, I think that would be great. All the child stars had theses experiences. Even we were confused, we still had to act; in order not to get scolded, we learnt how to read people’s faces. I know those days made me like this as today, but I don’t like to look back and go back to that part of time. I think “God is fair” Even my time was taken away, but it did give me a stable living. Human, you just can’t get everything.” When he was the leading actor playing in the TV drama, there was not even a week he can have but still on the contract, he insisted to put Monday and Tuesday no shooting schedule unconditionally in order to win some time for himself. He set his schedule 2 or 3 times longer so he could go to college study as a student. He wants to protect this for himself, he doesn’t want to get any interfering from his schedule to it. He has lost the time to be with his friends at teens, now he doesn’t want to lose it again. At his 20s, he was back and forth between hope and hopeless, it has not completed yet, and he doesn’t want to miss the only chance he has.

After became Geunjang, people expenses and consumes over his image, for this, someone give him the look “Jang Keun Suk is not stable”. For this kind of opinion, does he have some sense of crisis or not? In fact that’s Jang Keun Suk’s own issue. For those sharp critics, surprisingly Jang Keun Suk listened carefully. “Even I feel hurt inside, but to me, those opposite comments, they made me more on alert, they also build me up. It is impossible to let everyone likes me. I’m not a People’s Actor, I’m not a People’s younger brother. The only band-aid to help my wounded heart is the ones that even more malicious than before.

People start to lose their own freedom because of other people’s looks at them. All the negative critics to a person also mean others start to pay attention to you. Before, a famous “new” description to him is “Jang Keun Suk’s empty momentum explosion”, it was first started on his CY website. All he wanted to do was go to Paris, standing on the Avenue des Champs Elysees in front of Arch of Triumph, have a bottle of wine in one hand, and paper in other hand, say it loud as Parisians “New York Herald Tribune.” Suddenly, his CY website visitors increased so much, “in fact” he said:”I wasn’t aware of the reason. So the problem was the wine; then why Paris? why New York Herald Tribune? these are the triggers, to think about it now, it was empty momentum. (laugh) This time on my Paris trip, I wore the similar clothes like last time, once again I fulfilled my empty momentum promise, and this mocking to myself (to what I have written) I felt very happy and interesting about it.”

During second half of last year, for a few months, Jang Keun Suk fell to a long, cold, sad, lonely tunnel. Maybe you can use the word “depression”. Even this may not be enough to describe it. It just can’t be defined by one word to his complicated feeling. At this world that you can be drawn by people’s spit, Jang Keun Suk who worked for 20 years in the business knows well, it is impossible for him not to know how to survive in this game; how to do to make people like him. His weakness is that he understands everything so well, but he can’t find right answer to it. The difference he has with people who is in the same age as him is getting bigger and bigger. Is it the gap of popularity or ability? I’m not sure for the right answer, but one thing I can be sure. Jang Keun Suk doesn’t follow any other people’s path. Even he walks on this road alone and runs to a dead end; even it is a very difficult path but he won’t let anyone get ahead of him. Jang Keun Suk as a man who hates be bored and trivial, there is no way for him to refuse to walk on a road that may have the brightest future.

Before I finished this article, I sent a text message to him. I asked him so what I have been fooled by Jang Keun Suk. Here is his reply:”The part that you all think I’m a bourgeois. I live in a life like everyday I’m in a war. That’s total opposite of what you thought of.” Jang Keun Suk always says that he likes to thinks at opposite side of himself. So the answer to that I think is we are fooled by Jang Keun Suk’s “real heart”, the heart that hidden under his mischievous talks, his “empty momentum” moves.

–THE END–

A fabulous gift from Cri-J to celebrate Prince’s 20th anniversary since his debut, Jang Keun Suk subway! Today the operation of the last subway will be over, not it was already over… Thank you to all Cri-J 3rd exectives for such an awesome gift ^^
데뷔 20주년을 맞은 프린스를 위한 크리제이의 너무나 멋진 선물, 장근석 지하철! 오늘로 종료, 아니 이미 마지막 지하철 종료… 한달동안 이런 멋진 선물 만들어준 우리 크리3기 임원들 고맙습니다^^


09:17
‏@minzzangde
When I heard the plan of Jang Keun Suk subway, I was worried if we could make a schedule,,, if it would run without problem,,, but my worries were blown off by the exectives’ efforts~ I really appreciate all of you ^^ Plus, I appreciate Prince and eels who also enjoyed this event together ^^
장근석 지하철을 준비하자고 했을때, 과연 날짜를 맞출 수 있을지,,, 무사히 잘 달릴 수 있을지,,, 그 고민들을 다 날려버리게해준 임원들의 노고~ 진짜루 감사해요^^ 같이 즐겨준 프린스와 장어분에게도 감사^^

09:21
@minzzangde
The president who led us well, the vice-president who led to plan subway meet-up, the person in charge of general affairs who updated the timetable every day, the team leader of making amusing parody photos, the team leader of Japanese eels’ subway meet-up, and finally Tea Jang Team Leader who made such an awesome subway! Thanks all for your hard work. I was very happy ^^
앞에서 잘 이끌어준 회장님, 지하철 번개를 이끌어준 부회장님, 매일 시간표 올려준 총무님, 재미난 패러디 포토 팀장님, 일본우나기들 지하철 모니터 일팀장님, 마지막으로 이렇게 예쁜 지하철 만들어준 디쟌 팀장님! 수고하셨습니다. 행복했습니다^^

09:30
‏@minzzangde
Hearing the news that Jang Keun Suk subway would run, Price was moved by eels… and said he wanted to get on it as soon as possible! And he really went for a ride T_T I was also moved by such Prince T_T
장근석 지하철이 달린다는 소식을 듣고, 장어들에게 감동받았다며… 바로 타보고 싶다고 했던 프린스! 정말로 지하철을 타러 갈줄은 ㅠㅠ 그런 프린스에게 저또한 감동 ㅠㅠ

09:32
@minzzangde
Jang Keun Suk subway ran very well for one month! Looking back on Jang Keun Suk subway with Prince’s behind-the-scenes picture series of his getting on the subway… First, Prince disguised himself to get on the subway! Here’s the authentication shot for eels!
한달동안 열심히 달렸던 장근석 지하철! 지하철을 타러가는 프린스의 비하인드 사진시리즈로 장근석 지하철 추억하기… 첫번째, 지하철 타러간다고, 분장하는 프린스! 역시나 장어들을 위한 인증샷!

09:34
@minzzangde
Before getting on the subway, Prince found his ad, saying “Keun-suk!” and took a picture. kk So cute!
지하철을 타기전, 자신의 광고를 보고는 ” 근석이다! ” 라며 사진을 찍는 프린스 ㅋㅋ 참 귀엽습니다!

09:37
@minzzangde
The subway station Prince was getting on the subway is Wangsimni station! He trid not to bother regular passengers as much as possible, so he chose the daytime! That’s why we went to such an empty subway station.
프린스와 타러 간 지하철역은 왕십리역! 최대한 일반인에게 피해주지 않으려, 낮시간을 이용! 이렇게 텅~ 빈 지하철역으로 우리는 그렇게 갔답니다.

09:42
@minzzangde
The subway station seems empty, but Prince went there to get on Jang Keun Suk subway, which makes me so touched,,, these two men are walking very fast…
텅빈 지하철역으로 보이지만, 프린스가 타러가는 장근석 지하철이기에, 더욱 감동스러웠던,,, 두 남자의 발빠른 걸음…


09:46
@minzzangde
On the way to get on Jang Keun Suk subway, Prince is continuousy taking some authentication shots for eels! This is the shot when he was trying to place GM Lee Heung Ro in his V-sign,,,
장근석 지하철 타러가는 길에 장어들에게 보여주려고 계속되는 프린스의 인증샷! 이것은 앞에 이실장님을 브이안에 담았던 그 사진을 찍을때,,,

09:50
@minzzangde
Now Prince is just about to go down stairs to get on his subway. This person is our adorable Prince!!!
이제 프린스가 진짜, 자신의 지하철을 타러 내려옵니다. 정말 이 사람이 우리 프린스에요!!!


09:56
@minzzangde
Finally Prince got on the subyway! Are you so happy~?!?!?!!!! You don’t care much about what others think and continue to take pictures! You’re real Asia Prince! kk
드디어 지하철에 프린스 탑승! 그렇게 좋은가요~?!?!?!!!! 남들 시선 의식하지않고, 사진찍는 당신! 진정한 아시아 프린스! ㅋㅋ

10:04
@minzzangde
Our Prince is in Jang Keun Suk subway made by eels! That’s why he is Prince~ he is called Prince! I’m so touched~ T_T
장어분들이 만들어준 장근석 지하철안에 우리 프린스랍니다! 이래서, 프린스~ 프린스라고 합니다! 감동~ ㅠㅡㅠ

10:11
@minzzangde
In this way, he gets on the subway. Now it’s time to go back. Who knows that this is Jang Keun Suk by seeing his appearance?… A man who appreciates a gift from eels… This is indeed our Prince. ^^
그렇게 지하철을 타고, 이제는 돌아가는 시간. 이 모습을 보고, 과연 누가 장근석이라고 했을까요?… 장어분들에게 받은 선물을 고마워하는 남자… 그게 바로 우리의 프린스랍니다.^^


10:17
@minzzangde
Jang Keun Suk subway eels gave him as a present must become more meaningful as Actor Jang Keun Suk himself got on it… Thanks for everything, Prince and eels ^^ The behind-the-scene photos of Jang Keun Suk subway finishes! All of them are good memories ^^
장어분들이 선물해준 장근석 지하철은 배우 장근석이 직접 탑승하므로, 더욱 의미있는 시간으로 남겨질듯… 프린스와 장어분들, 모두모두 감사합니다^^ 장근석 지하철 비하인드 사진 끝! 모두 좋은 추억으로^^


11:29
@minzzangde
Ah! Lastly this is the wonderful gift about memories of Jang Keun Suk subway from Cri-j! I will support your dreams ^^

Jang Keun Suk has attracted a total audience of 115,000 during his concert tour.

He also said, “As the scale of the concert becomes bigger, I feel more responsible, but I can do my best because there are my crew and fans who always support me. I believe I always have to move on and sometimes look back upon my past to improve myself. I’m doing everything step by step and passionately. Many people have become my friends. I really appreciate them.”

[Fan Account] 10/6-7/2012 A Japanese Eel’s Loving Story with Jang Keun Suk from Cri Show 2 in Fukuoka


2010 During Jang Keun Suk’s Fan Meeting (FM) in Fukuoka, a Japanese eel wrote “ Jang Keun Suk, I love you.” on the beach in front of the hotel he was staying. When Jang Keun Suk saw it after he woke up in the morning, he was touched by the scene in front of him. At that time, he had 3000 audiences in his FM. After two years, now this Japanese eel got a “super seating” that she could see Jang Keun Suk in a very close distance. And she and her friends wrote message on the beach again.

That eel was worried if Jang Keun Suk had seen the message or not, but she was shy to say it on twitter. So she made two board signs, first day show, the sign said: “Please send flying kisses to me” “Our Prince is the best!!!” Second day, the sign was “Did you look at beach?” When he was singing the song “Tomorrow”, Jang Keun Suk started to walked around stage, he saw the sign and he was surprised. He smiled and nodded, also gave a OK sign and fly kisses. The audiences around that eel all said to her: Congratulations!

The Japanese eel was touched, after two years, he still remembers, he remembered to look at the beach! That day morning there were about over 10 men walking on the beach where they left message, she was worried that the words would be erased, but later on she learnt that Jang Keun Suk couldn’t see clearly in the room. He sent dancers out to confirm it. Such a nice star, is there a second one like that?

On the fist day of the Cri Show in Fukuoka, Jang Keun Suk asked: Is there anyone who was at my FM two years ago?” In two years, there are changes in fan groups, and he, till today, his fame, his sensation, two years ago there is no comparison to this, but Jang Keun Suk himself did not change. His frivolous is not like he has it just now, no matter what have past, he is he. Because of that, that’s why we are following him.

Here is the message that Jang Keun Suk posted in 2010 after he saw the message from the Japanese eel of “Jang Keun Suk I love you! 팬들이 백사장에 장근석사랑해 써놓았어요 일어나자마자 캐 감동감동 나 어제 일잔하고 나가다 자빠짐 꽈당꽈당 (translation: Fans wrote on the beach :Jang Keun Suk I love you! I saw it just after I woke up. I’m so touched. I came out after drink last night, bang! I fell on the floor.

[Fan Account] 20/7/2012 Words from JKS on Cri Show 2 in Fukuoka Day 2


Day 2
Before I am just an actor, organized fan meeting to sing just a few songs and then have a talk show session with fans. But I started to plan for Cri Show last year after becoming a singer. This year is Cri Show 2. Yesterday mama asked me how long would I want to do Cri Show continuously? I said next year will be Cri Show 3, Cri Show 4, Cri Show5 etc.. It would be great if I can continue like this, when I have Cri Show 10, it will be my 30th anniversary of my debut.

Sometimes I will put on a suit and go to the company, just as a president of the company go to work, but I always argue with the staff (laughs). I was once told by others that is not good for my image, is better not to do that. Actually when I was younger, I’m always running away from my mom, I don’t think I have changed till now. (audience laughed).

Before I ran away all the time to the stores to play with noona (older sisters) there. Everybody has things that they want to do and please cherish your own dreams too. Although mom is scary, but I will still go to the company to argue. Recently although I’m always seen travelling around and having fun with friends, but my health condition is not too good, I always have cold hands and cold feet, who can help me to keep me warm? (Eels shouted I WANT / ME!)

In fact, my whole family love drinking. I’m a self acclaimed good drinker who does not lose to anyone except to Mom and Dad. When 3 of us got drunk, we will always repeat the same topic, for example, the things during I was studying in New Zealand and we will keep it going on and on. I normally will stop drinking when getting drunk while drinking with my parents, because you won’t know what will happen next. But dad can still continue with friends for a 2nd drinking session! This is my family.

Note: We all know he has a loving and supportive parents and a great family. Remember he shouted out during Team H New Year’s Show in Tokyo? He said twice in English: Mother and Father, I love you!!! This photos was taken during the ceremony of his donation to Hanyang University on 2011-11-19, what a nice shot of the happy family.

[Fan Account] 10/6/2012 Words of JKS at Cri Show 2 in Fukuoka Day 1


Here are words he said before he sang In My Dream:


Have not been feeling well recently. I am also a human. That night after came back from Paris, unable to sleep and drank soju alone at home, parents were asleep. Felt lonely and wanted to talk to someone, so I thought of eels. Midnight send out an App, everyone seen it right? Eventually feeling drunk and getting more lonely and went to my room, switched on my computer, on my bed, logged in to the music broadcast channel (eumbang) and broadcasted some music. Only later then remember that Japanese eels were unable to obtain the site ID in Korea, time is already in the night at 4 at night.. (Eels reminded him: that’s morning!!!) I think Japanese eels also want to have a music broadcast station right? I will find a Japanese site and organize one, but I will only login when I am drunk. (Laugh) and when I’m drunk, I will say nasty things, so please don’t hate me. In fact all of us are the same; there are times when we feel lonely. Everyone is in love, but I have never been in love. (Audience boos) Who are you thinking of at this moment? (Eels all shouted Geun Chan). I have not been in love, and not interested! (Audience boos) Seriously, what is woman?! When I am lonely, I only think of eels . Recently I’m addicted to camping, I went camping a couple of week ago and I felt really happy, so I’m thinking it will be good if I can go camping with eels, hope it can be achieved. Autumn bring about the feeling of loneliness to people, that is why I do not like autumn. I hope this nasty autumn can end earlier. Next summer, lets all go camping together next summer! (He started to play guitar and sing the song, he ended the song with “go camping” and blew flying kisses) I did so many flying kisses but I have never experience real kissing before (Audience boos) I am blissful together with eels, I want to be with eels in the future too, please, let’s make to the next 20 years!

The reason why “Melody we made together” is good is when singing the song together with eels, the melody will be much better.
함께 만든 멜로디가 좋은 이유는 장어들과 함께 부르면서, 더욱 좋은 멜로디가 되니까
