[NEWS] Jang Keun Suk Fires up the 2012 Summer Sonic Festival in Japan

Jang Keun Suk got the crowd going once more with his DJ skills and performance on stage.

Jang Keun Suk took part in the 2012 Summer Sonic Festival on August 18 and 19 in Osaka and Tokyo as part of his project group, Team H. Dubbed Asia’s largest music festival, the two-day concert included performances from major global acts such as Green Day, Rihanna, Sigur Ros and more. 

Going on stage with his music partner, Big Brother, as part of Team H, the duo performed a string of their recent album’s tracks including We Are, Shake It, Gotta Get Cha and more, which were remixed, for 40 minutes. 

The mere presence of Jang Keun Suk on stage was enough to get the crowd riled up. At one point, Jang Keun Suk even had to temporarily halt his performance on the Rainbow Stage at the Tokyo concert as the standing concert attendees were becoming crushed from the crowd.

The group followed the performance with an interview on stage discussing the festival and its music in English. 

Jang Keun Suk will next be performing in Taiwan on September 1 as part of his ongoing 2012 Jang Keun Suk Asia Tour The CRI Show 2.

Days like this happen. People like this exist. Let’s focus on ourselves. It’s a restful night：）
이런 날이 있으면 저런 날도 있고 이런 사람이 있으면 저런 사람도 있다 내 자신에게 집중하자 오늘도 편안한 밤 : )

23:27
@codeinconnu
Even if 99 of 100 are happy and grateful but the only one is unacceptable, he just focuses on it and utters. 

He has such a perfectionist nature.

Come to think of it, it took me 4 years to get praise…

But, still you know he’s such a man… the most open man.

100가지 일 중에서
99개가 기쁘고 고마웠던 일이고
한 가지가 마음에 들지 않는 일이라면
그 한 가지에 집중하고 말해 버린다

그런 완벽주의자적 성격-

그러고 보니, 나…
칭찬 받는데 4년이 걸렸다

그냥, 그렇다고-
그런 사람이 있다고-
알잖아, 누구보다 솔직하다는 것

The performance was halted because too many standing audience stampeded. Pushing from behind, more than 30 people were carried on stretchers. When things have calmed down, we’ll restart. No pushing T_T
스탠딩 사람들이 너무 많이 몰려서 공연 일시 중지. 뒤에서 너무 밀어서 사람들이 30명도 넘게 실려 나왔어요.일단 안정되면 다시 시작합니다. 너무 밀지 마세요 ㅠㅠ

Restart

This is a message video to Fann Wong-mi who is a Korean CM creator and had continued to use Jang Keun Suk before he’s become very popular.
“Hello, I’m Jang Keun Suk. I’ll tell you a secret of Fann Wong-mi. She always surprises us with novel ideas and surprising items. Let’s fight it out to see which will succeed earlier, I become World Prince or she becomes the best CM creator in Korea!”

The news that 10 people were severely injured by lightning came out. Power was down and train stopped…. After many twists and turns, they’ll be on stage. Suddenly, the internet works again. It’s like a miracle.
뉴스에서도 낙뢰로 10명 중상 이런 뉴스 나온다. ㅎㄷㄷ 정전되고 전차 멈추고 …. 우여곡절 끝에 곧 무대 올라갑니다. -갑자기 기적처럼 인터넷이 된다.

@codeinconnu
After watching the stage silently (accurately, checking out on-line responses busily), I can say “It’s to be expected.” He has never, not once, failed to disappoint us. He enjoys a given situation and get people on his side. He shows his 120 % ability. A happy night- I want to drink a beer!
묵묵히(는 아니고 넷반응 살피고 혼자 분주하게) 지켜본 결과, ‘역시나’다. 예전부터 지금까지- 단 한 번도 실망시키지 않는다. 주어진 상황을 즐기고, 자기 편으로 만든다. 120%를 해내는 사람. 기쁜 밤이네- 맥주 마셔야지!

22:21
Does he have room to sleep?? Fool : )
こいつぃよゆがあるのか！！バカ: )

22:25
I’m hungry. I want Kamakura ramen.
おなかすいた。かまくらあめんがほしい T.,T
tenshi_akuma’s note: Kamakura is the ramen shop he got coupons when he enjoyed his private trip in Shibuya. Here is the reference.

22:26
Oh no! my mobile phone went crazy! A lot of typing errors!!!!!
