[Video and Translation]LOTTE Duty Free Jang keun suk Interview

Hello Pretty EELs
cr:lottedfs+Sally Wu YN



Qns : How did you become an actor so young
JKS: It was my parents who started me off this track rather than myself. They helped me find my career earlier on. I don't feel resentful at all about being on this path. I was fortunate to have found my own path much faster with my parent's help

Qns: Jang Keun Suk in 20 years ?
JKS: In 20 years, I will definitely be acting. I'll be old enough to try out various roles. I'll become more responsible by then as well. I'm going to continue to search for what I am good at

Qns: How do you spend your free time ?
JKS: I like meeting friends. I hear about the world completely different from them. Similarly when I meet other celebrity colleagues, I learn from their different perspective.

Qns: Your thoughts on your other self ?
JKS: As I look at myself, I think about what other people especially the fans know of me and what kind of images they have of me. I hope the fans would feel more intimate with me, like an intimate neighbor, rather than to build some kind of fantasy.

Qns: What is your hobby ?
JKS: I like driving alone. Last night, I drove a total of 250KM from seoul to Chuncheon, then to wenju and back to seoul. I enjoy driving with some music. I recently became interested in camping. I bought all the camping equipment but I didn't get to go yet. I was too busy. Instead I cooked an instant ramen at home and just settled with that. Unexpectedly ordinary, am I not ? I do spend very ordinary days. You know friends from middle school ? I would like to have a drink with them - drink so much that I wouldn't even remember the night before.

Qns: What is your nickname that describe you the best ?
JKS: Psycho? Psycho! I do many unpredictably foolish things. I don't mind that nickname, and it's not ordinary. Asia prince is unusual, but psycho is the nickname given by my close childhood friends. And I believe I'm living up to that name.

Jang Keun Suk, who keeps evolving, “Asian Prince”

On the final stage of Asia Tour which attracted 160,000 audience in tatal, Jang Keun Suk, or Keun-chan, sang to fans filled the venue withoug showing any signs of tiredness till the end.

“Keun-chan~!” There are a lot of cheers to him throughout the venue. “Asian Prince” celeberated his self-produced tour “The CRI SHOW2″ final at Saitama Super Arena. He appeared on the stage with plumed hat and decorative costume. After singing the first song, he utters, “I want to eat Kabayaki (grilled eel)~!” Keun−chan’s favorite food is eels so that he calls his fans “eels” with love.

When he talks between songs, of course, he does in Japanese, which he is good at. When he asks to the audience, “Anyone attended last night~?”, many replied, “I did!” Hearing the answer, he said with mischievous smile, “Really!? OK, then, you need another episode today…”

Most songs are from his first album “Just Crazy”. He sings “In my dream” with playing a guitar. Then, he, wearing a tank, sings and dances energetically with dancers. Like this, his performance is ever-changing. In the encore, he appeared as Team H, dance music unit with his friend, Big Brother. He, wearing shorts, was running around the stage and sang new songs.

Hearing his saying “I’ll be back next year with CRI SHOW3! Please look forward to it”, the audience became on fire. Keun-chan always keeps trying a new challenge. What kind of him will he show us?


tenshi_akuma’s note: Below pics are from another news, but the same ones are used in this magazine. I tried to use the original pics, but the quality was’t good enough…


“Welcome to my magic world, eels~! How have you been? I missed you so much. As you eels give your heart, additional encore concert was realized.”


“Eels are… my precious”.
“Today is the final day. I’ll do my best to make a beautiful memory.”

“Even when I get older like a grandfather, I want to hold concert with you!!”

This is the original magazine pages…
