When physically exhausted or our heart hurt, it’s natural for us to think too much. When it comes to him, he always thinks “the first time” and “sincerity”. Then, he takes a step forward.
몸이 지칠 때, 마음이 다칠 때도, 생각이 많아질 때도 물론 있다. 사람이니까 그럴 때면 항상 ‘처음’과 ‘진심’을 생각한다 그리고 다시 한 걸음 앞으로

That makes actors cling to the notion of keeping them mysterious…
이래서 배우들이 신비주의를 고집하는거네 …

[FAN ACCOUNT] Team H got a lot of praise from the audience!!!

Attending music festivals such as UMF and SUMMER SONIC is totally different from holding their own concert. Some audience might be their huge fans, but most are just the audience who simply wants to enjoy music. They expect new encounters of unknown artists. And Team H succeeded to get a huge praise again this SUMMER SONIC. Below are some of the translations non-eels tweeted after watching their performance. These responses must give Team H encouragement to expand their business field to the world. For Jang Keun Suk personally, he succeeded to get new-born male eels, too!

Jyo~ Zikzin, Team H to the world! 

@masao907
Honestly I underestimated Jang Keun Suk as a frivolous guy. But I was wrong. He is superb. He is highly respectable who handles three languages smoothly and has overcome difficulties.
俺はチャングンソクをチャライ男だと舐めていた。彼は素晴らしい。3ヶ国語を滑らかに使って、苦境を乗り越えてきた尊敬に値する人だった。

@coapiyo
I underestimated him. Jang Keun Suk must be one of the best performances at SUMMER SONIC. Their performance kick ass. I’m not a K-POP fan, but I was hooked. 
甘くみていた。チャングンソクはサマソニのベストアクトに入るな。パフォーマンスぱねー。KPOPファンじゃないけど、やられた。

@kurosawaaa
Jang Keun Suk is better than I expected. Really exciting.
チャン・グンソクなかなか良かったぞ。盛り上がった。

@JuliaC0706
Frankly speaking, my image of Jang Keun Suk proved wrong. I really wish he will continue this path for music. I totally don’t know him. I only thought he was just an Hallyu star. But now I’m getting really interested in him. As I am also a DJ, I felt he has ability to raise the bar of Asian techno music. 
はっきり言って、チャングンソクって、、。が覆された。やばい、本気で音楽の道、行って欲しい。彼のことは全く知らず、アイドルかと思っていたが、興味を持った。私は同じDJとして、彼はもっと、アジアのテクノを盛り上げていける力のある人物と感じた。

@lovedreamsora
I was not a fan of Jang Keun Suk, but I went to see his stage because I feel some similarities between Tamamori (He played the same role in YAB Japanese version) and him. To my surprise, he himself as well as the performance was so cool and I fell in love ♥ I’ve attended SUMMER SONIC for 10 years, but it was the first time I experienced that the performance was paused because the audience heated up. 
チャングンソクが好きだった訳じゃないけど玉森とシンクロする私は彼のステージを見に。そしたらパフォーマンスも彼自身もカッコ良すぎで惚れたぁ♥もぅサマソニ歴10年になるけど人気すぎてヒートアップしすぎてライブ中断なんて初めてだったよ。

@korin926
When the performance was restarted, Jang Keun Suk said the audience again, “The most important thing is your safety. Please take a step backward. I ask you for your safety.” I heard a male said “So manly”. Yes, he is very manly even with an apple hair and a frivolous look.
再開してもう一度”グンソクが一番大切なのは皆さんの安全です。皆さんもう一歩ずつ下がって下さい。皆さんのために”と話してた時、近くにいた男性が”男らしい”って言ったのが聞こえた。アップル頭で一見チャライけど男らしいヤツなんです

‏@sanketun
Wow, this really expresses Jang Keun Suk himself!!! Great!! His DJ-ing is cool… I’m sorry I had a low opinion of you….
これ本当にグンソクらしい！！！すげえ！！DJかっこいい…バカにしてごめんなさい………

@bisko_ks
I underestimated Keun Suk before, but simply his DJ-ing kick ass!
グンソク馬鹿にしてたけどDJくそかっけー

@coapiyo
Wait, Jang Keun Suk is cool enough. Besides, their music is quite high-level. I was surprised. 
ちょっと待て、チャングンソクかっこいいな。音楽がまたレベル高め。おどろいた

The most powerful two (Team H) created enchanted clubbing air

Team H abruptly changed the hot atmosphere of SUMMER SONIC into clubbing air. Team H is a unit formed by a famous Hallyu star Jang Keun Suk and his partner on music Big Brother. They made a long-awaited debut in Japan this March. Their trendy tunes have succeeded to get many supports from music fans.

They appeared on stage with the first tune “We are..” Then, while performing “Can’t Stop”, Big Brother showed us his superb DJ-ing. Continuously, they performed “NO HUMAN SMELL” and “SHAKE IT”. Their great chemistry fascinated the audience. During the talk session, Jang Keun Suk said, “Put your health first!” with a Kansai accent. At the same time, he declared to expand their business field to the world. The last song was their masterpiece “GOTTA GETCHA”. The repeated phrases make the stage and the audience unified and the audience reached its peak. Applause filled the venue and Team H bounced to them. Their fresh smile and cool performance have addictive charms. Team H created great impact on the audience and left the venue with their Team H flag proudly.
