Following the shows in Osaka, Jang Keun Suk successfully finished the Niigata shows held on 26th and 27th, which has added momentum to his tour “2015 JANG KEUN SUK THE CRI SHOW 3”. The show colored by his own analog sensibility got good reputations such as it created a healing atmosphere, communicating with fans emotionally.

Above all, throughout this tour, we can enjoy the live performance played by the same band so far. That’s why the stage has become more high-quality. The bandmaster, Jang Ji-won said, “I establish a rhythm with him, just seeing his eyes”. That proved his faith in JKS.

Starting with KBS music TV program ‘Timeless masterpieces 2 – singing legend’, Jang Ji-won is one of the best bandmaster who has worked with various artists such as SHINHWA, Vibe and so on. He said, “It was my first time working with a singer who is originally an actor. So I had a preconceived idea about his talent. But soon after I came to know how high-quality and perfect he pursues in the stage. I still remember his such professionalism gave me cold sweats even in our first practice. I understood he practices freely but, at the same time, pursues perfection, too. After that, I’ve come to join the practice well prepared with more responsibility and pressure. That’s why I don’t fail in JKS show”.

He added, “Every time I perform in JKS show, I get a new feeling. I mean I never feel the same even the set list is the same. I believe a song is not sung by talent only. I think JKS’ acting experience is very helpful to express songs more emotionally. He can sing a sad song more sadly, and happy song more happily. I think this is his unique strength”.
In this tour, there is 16 performances in total; hall performances of 12 stages in 6 cities, and arena performances of 4 stages in 2 cities. Upcoming Fukuoka tour is held at Fukuoka Sunpalace on April 1st and 2nd.
