[News] Jang Keun Suk Shows off His Global Appeal And Starts Asia Tour 2012

Jang Keun Suk successfully finished his two and a half hour performance in Seoul, held in Korea University's Hwajung Stadium, in front of 3,500 fans. This starts off his second Asia Tour, "2012 Jang Keun Suk Asia Tour The Cri Show 2."

His outfit was appropriate for the unique aspects of the occasion, a very showy purple outfit and a magician's hat to match. 

The 3,500 fans, which included not only Korean but also Japanese, Chinese and other Asian fans, roared their applause as they saw the appearance of the prince, who started the performance with "200 Miles," one of the songs from his first Japanese studio album Just Crazy.

Jang Keun Suk went on to explain how he was able to acquire the nickname of "Asia Prince" and revealed his plans for a possible Europe Tour, putting the fans in anticipation.

"I am dreaming bigger," he said, "I want to become the 'World Prince'." 

At the Seoul performance, he showed off his immense, impressive and expensive set and stage that will be used for the rest of his Asia tour, which includes China and Southeast Asia. The stage resembles that of a wine glass, with a large projector screen in the middle and two other screens that flank it on the side. He is planning to have 10 performances in his Asia tour and will spend 2 million won, allowing potential audience members to expect a great quality show. 

"We started off the tour with a deficit, but I was adamant on the tour happening because I'm made in Korea!", he claimed, reaffirming his proclaimed status as not only a Hallyu Star and Asia Prince but also a Korean star. 


The concept of this tour is "Welcome to the Magic World" and befittingly, the performance was riddled with wizards and haunted houses, reminiscent of a theme park. He enticed the audience with his mysterious image as a magician but also a sexy and frightening charismatic character. He switched in and out of outfits to fit the theme and kept the audience excited and engaged.


Jang Keun Suk performed a total of 19 songs, including songs from his album Just Crazy, songs from his current drama and songs that he wrote himself. He was no different from the idol stars and famous singers of today with his showmanship and his ability to engage an audience on stage. He didn't forget to joke and interact with the audience, saying sweet and endearing remarks like "I'm not loyal to Japan you are the fans that are important to me."

After the two and a half hours, fans were disappointed to see him go, chanting his name.


At the after party, Jang Keun Suk told sources that despite the fact that the performance seemed to be a success, he was still looking for room to improve and had a headache from his stress. He said that the show in Seoul didn't make any money but he was proud to have started his Asia tour in his homeland. 


He confessed his worries and his concerns about his image in the Korean market. "Haters think that I'm only popular in Japan and that I'm no longer popular in Korea but I was made in Korea. It was okay to hear it once or twice but they are still hurtful remarks. I wanted to show Koreans what I was doing out there that was becoming popular and making money." 


He also announced that he was planning a club tour of Europe at the end of the year or perhaps an encore Asia tour or a dinner show in Korea, showing that he was constantly thinking about ways to reach his audience and keep them coming for more. 


"2012 Jang Keun Suk Asia Tour The CRI SHOW 2" had its start in Seoul and will continue on to Yokohama, Osaka, Nagoya and Fukuoka in Japan, followed by Shanghai, Taiwan, Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries.

[07-07-2012] Words Jang Keun Suk said on Cri Show 2 In Seoul’s Pressconference

1. Even before this, there were so many tests, frustrations, pressures, and one more thing; I hope all of you can understand, I want to do my Cri Show on my own land. If you feel happy in Seoul, care for this place, this makes me feel happy too. First show starts in Seoul because I have the confidence, even I go overseas, my country won’t feel shame because of me, because I AM MADE IN KOREA!!!

2. Last year’s show had somewhat felt as a singer, most of the performances were from the new album and OST songs, It was hard to me. In fact, I didn’t feel it was rich and colorful enough. But this time, I choose purple as the theme color for the show first, I also conducted the plot of the show. During this time, the album which has my own music and lyrics had released, compare to as a growing up work, the more I felt was responsibilities.

3. Instead of to do an easy show as an entertainer, I want to have my own stage to sing my own unique music, this is the place (Seoul). I have the confidence. Compare to last year’s Cri Show, the biggest difference is that we invested much more money into it. For this, I feel the big burden and also got beat by mother. I think: It is not important that how many people come to see the show; how big the stage is; the contents of show is the most important.

4. Last year when I was performed in Tokyo Dome, I felt that was a Mega place, (also because of this), I didn’t put all the attention to the dome itself. If this year I can still go there, I will focus on giving a complete show and work even harder since I want to hear you say: This time the content of the show is richer.” As for releasing the new album in Japan, there are not many fans in Korea knew about it, because I didn’t really do much promotion in Korea.

5. Even this may be sounded timid, but I hope (in Korea) to gain recognition from my acting. In Korea, in fact, an actor to perform in a huge venue is not an easy thing. I only do this for my fans. To have a show here doesn’t mean to let people think this is just a show as ”Hey, I’m doing great here”, but as a first show in my country, my land, to let my fans to say: “He did such a great show!”

6. When I was preparing the new album, the first thing was to decide the “color” of it then went for next. I was just randomly thinking of my purple credit card, I decided to use purple, or dark pink, the color can symbol mysterious in the fantasy world, so I designed circus & magic show. The theme of show is: To gain back those fantasies that was lost from being an adult — Welcome to magic world.

7. (Regarding use of the donations and rice wreathes) I hope I won’t let my fans down for their nice wishes. The donations will be used for orphanages and places in need. My parents always tell me: You gain much, you will share and dedicate much.” I and my parents we don’t each other very often, occasionally we get together, what we talk always like this: “Mother, this time I did this donation…..” As long as people get help from my donations, I will be happy.

8. I like to go to new places to get new challenges. The “contented” and “safe” is not my type. The end of this year (after Cri Show) I will go to Europe to have Clubbing Tour, I would like to use some small club to do electronic music DJ, to travel many cities. The plan is with about 1500 people to do an interesting journey “Play-drink-play”.

Note: Here is the link of the media report about his Europe Clubbing Tour http://news.nate.com/view/20120707n10499

9. The Cri Show 2 total have spent 20 billion won, even all the tickets sold out, the income won’t be over how much we have put in already. If you want to ask me what I do this for? I will tell you, I want people to know, Korean is what kind of people, in Korea, there are also people that they are not grudge of spending money but just want to have fun. When I am thinking, this is for my fans, I can manage to adjust the situation.

10. The past 4 months was really difficult, I was in a war with myself. I learnt to suppose not to support, I learnt to hit the break; I learnt to take a rest at certain time. I learnt (how) to treat the others, the others (how) to treat me. I feel I need to have time to think. (about recent) I will be busy again, now is time to do the plans. I want to challenge something that I haven’t tried yet, I want to harvest sentiments, I want to save more energy.

11. To get rid of “empty momentum”? I need to use my own force, I bought a 6 stories building in Shibuya, the reason is that I want to have my own store, through the join venture with 비wm니 Company, the fashion store will be opened soon. Someone may ask, why you work so hard, because I can’t see my future, the future may not be as happy as I am now. I have to non-stop climb to the top. I don’t want to be miserable when I fell, so I have to learn to work.

12. Before I have thought if Jang Keun Suk becomes the owner of 편집샵（Concept Store, Select shop 或 Multi-shop）how that would be? When I had this question till now I have my own multi-shop, without help from parents, without help from my managers, I went to fashion companies myself to show them my proposals, I worked with designers, I opened my own store.

13. (Regarding to come back as an actor) I have received lots of scripts, but there are so many things I want to try, so please wait. (regarding “empty momentum”) After I used Asia Prince as my twitter ID, someone said I’m just empty momentum, but in my opinion, to get rid of empty momentum, I will change to WorldPrince, Asia Prince was my dream, to get even more bigger dream, to take challenge, I will change the title to WorldPrince.

14: Q: What’s your thought about the last semester in university? A: I still have one semester (laugh). This has nothing to do with age, college life to me is very exciting. I am 06 class, but to study together the young kids of 13 class or 12 class, I feel very happy.

A sneak peek at Sukkie’s notes – Jang Keun Suk has fun learning Chinese

Want to look at Asia Prince’s Chinese notes?


Asia Prince Jang Keun Suk has major fun learning Chinese! His daily hobby is to learn Chinese and he carries around his notes wherever he goes. He tweeted previously about learning Chinese even while at the swimming pool.


Meanwhile, I’m studying Chinese diligently. Is it acceptable or not??
그 와중에 깨알같이 중국어 공부하긔있긔없긔??

And today he revealed a page from his notes which he keeps reading.

Wow!! Happy Chinese lesson hours!!!

와오!!! 씐나는중국어 시간!!!

What does his notes contain?

Here is a brief translation of what Sukkie is reading diligently.

A: Do you think I am handsome?

B: Of course brother (oppa) is handsome

A: Do you want to have coffee with me?

B: Ok ok

A: Why do you like me?

B: Because you are handsome and kind.

He was sincerely reading cheesy lines!! LOL!!! A narcissistic and flirty Prince indeed!

Well if it helps him to learn Chinese faster these lines are helpful indeed. This is exactly like how Korean is easier to pick up after watching K-dramas.

Asia Prince Good Luck! And continue studying your lesson in the same cheery way.
