Jang Keun Suk: Actually this type of game had already been up in the Korean market for a long time, played many times, so everybody is very familiar with it. I have a nephew who often comes to my place to play, he will use my computer to play this type of game, and I will play it when I am free. This type of game has music and dance, rather than a more complex RPG game, it is more attractive to me.

Reporter: This is the first time Jang Keun Suk serves as a spokesman of an online game, why did you choose this game? In your feelings, where is the charm of 《劲舞堂》?

Jang Keun Suk: Firstly, this game will be able to design an image of my own role, this attracted me greatly. It can let China and the players get to know me through this game, this is really great. Of course, the main object of this game, is to be able to put the fashion “music” and “dance” together, to me this is really great. In addition, this game can also implant some of my songs, and later through this game I can use it to publicize my songs, so that everyone knows me.

Reporter: Jang Keun Suk in recent years began his development in China, taking up roles as a spokesman one after another, participating in top variety shows, opening concerts, then what is the next plan in China?

Jang Keun Suk: This year compared to last year, it is true that the number of times I came to China is so much more. The more times I come the more experience I accumulate, this kind of development is good. I am now planning to come to China at the end of the year 2-3 times, to participate in a few special programs. In addition, now I am in preparation for my new album, so I will still have many new chances to meet up with my China fans.

Reporter: Is Jang Keun Suk learning Chinese at the moment?

Jang Keun Suk:  Recently, due to being busy with my Cri Show tour,  I had learned a lot, but now some I have already forgotten. (On site, he still spoke a few words “I love you”, “I am Jang Keun Suk”, “ You want me?”, “I want you!”, etc.)

Reporter: Will you invite some of your friends to play this game together?

Jang Keun Suk: I will. My game company made me a special role, so I think it will be fun to play with my friends together. I still get a special account number. The characteristic of this game is that you can become a couple and after that this couple can contact each other through the phone. I believe that this is the game’s biggest attraction.

张根硕：因为其实这款游戏在韩国已经上市了很久，所以已经玩过很多次，大家都很熟悉。我有个侄子经常到我家里玩，会用我的电脑玩这款游戏，所以之前有空的时候就曾经玩过。这个游戏有音乐也有舞蹈，比起RPG类的比较复杂的游戏，更能吸引我。

张根硕：首先，这个游戏会为我设计一个属于我自己形象的角色，对我来说吸引力很大。并且可以让中国更广大的玩家可以通过这个游戏认识我，这点真的是很棒。当然，最主要的是这个游戏，能把“音乐”“舞蹈”“时尚”结合在一起，对我来说也是非常的好。另外这个游戏还可以植入一些我的歌曲，以后可以通过游戏来宣传我的歌曲，让大家更加认识我。

记者：近年张根硕事业发展开始全面进军中国，陆续在中国接了代言、上了综艺节目、开了演唱会，接下来还会有什么在中国的计划？
张根硕：今年和去年比起来，真的来中国的次数变得很多。来的次数越多能累计更多的经验，这样的发展不错。我现在正在计划年底的时候再来中国2-3次，来参加一些中国的特别节目。另外，现在我还在筹备我的新的专辑，所以还会有很多新的机会跟中国的粉丝们见面。

记者：张根硕现在有在学习中文吗？
张根硕：最近因为忙着巡回演唱会，本来学了很多，现在有点忘记。（但还是现场秀了几句“我爱你”“我是张根硕”“你要我吗？”“我要你！”等）

记者：你会邀请你的一些朋友一起来玩这个游戏吗？
张根硕：会的。游戏公司给我制作了特别的角色，所以觉得和朋友一起玩会很有趣。还拿到了特别的账号。这款游戏的特点是可以成为情侣，且成为情侣之后还能打电话联系。我认为，这点就是这款游戏最大的魅力所在。

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。

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.
