‎[Enews World] Jang Keun Suk Graces the Cover of Asahi Weekly Magazine

Hello pretty EEL's

Jang Keun Suk has once again proved to us that he is indeed “Prince of Asia” and the biggest hallyu star of 2012, as he graced the cover of the January 27 issue of Asahi Weekly Magazine.

The issue is gathering a lot of buzz, as it’s the first time that Jang has appeared on a magazine that is not strictly an entertainment magazine.
A rep at Asahi Weekly stated, “We have two major interviews for this year: one is with Jang Keun Suk and the other is with Ichiro Ozawa.” It’s quite remarkable for Jang to be in the same edition with Ozawa, a major Japanese politician.

The rep also added, “Whenever we asked him a question, he always replied immediately with his masculine voice. His ability to think on the spot is remarkable.”

When asked about his road to success, Jang replied, “When I act, I always think about my rival, much like at an individual sporting event like tennis, not soccer of basketball. I’ve been playing tennis for ten years now, and this sport requires you to fight against yourself. For example, I can’t hit my opponent’s ball if I’m tired and my speed slows down. By repeating these mistakes though, you learn to win against yourself.”

Jang was also asked what the most memorable event of the last twenty years was. He answered, “Honestly, I didn’t even have time to look back on the last twenty years of my life. I feel like time passed me by since all I did was finish everything on my schedule. I don’t even have time to study Japanese, and I don’t even remember when I had coffee with a friend. I feel like I’m chasing after the ‘Jang Keun Suk’ everyone wants me to be.”

The actor revealed his ambitions by stating, “I want to have a time when I can show my values and my character by having a dinner show in Korea this year.”

Jang, meanwhile, will return to the small screen with Love in March. Yoona of Girls’ Generation will also be appearing in the drama.

[Interview]JKS with ELLE Japan

Hello pretty EEL's

In his latest movie JKS became a pet of a female senior
Jang Keun Suk, he is the very person who has captivated Japanese women’s hearts. He broke through as a star after broadcasting TV drama ‘You Are Beautiful’ and since then he has succeeded his career as a singer as well as an actor. In fact, he just finished his first performance at Tokyo Dome in November successfully. In his latest movie ‘You’re My Pet (YMP)’ based on Japanese comic, JKS played Kang In Ho, a pet as well as a young prospective dancer, living under the same roof with a career woman, Ji Eun who is not good at love.

JKS came in for ELLE interview with smile which brings our motherly instincts. The way he spoke Japanese fluently represented his cuteness, and we were sometimes confused if he was In Ho or JKS.

“The role of In Ho is full of JKS. Lol. He is the most similar character to me in all characters I’ve played… no, strictly speaking, In Ho may be completely myself. So that I requested the director to act freely and he approvingly adopted my improvisation,” JKS said. While talking, JKS looked much cuter than his age. He was like a real puppy when he had played in YMP scenes such as he was shivering because of rain and he whined in front of Ji Eun. Besides. JKS himself was a surprisingly open person.

“On the other hand, I also have a sadistic side. Lol. Every human has different colors of personality. I have black side as well as red or white ones. So does In Ho. He hasn’t been only her pet throughout YMP. He has a manly side. The big difference between the original YMP and this movie was our relationship between master and pet. The master halfway came to wait for her pet. In Ho is a man who makes as much efforts as he can to pursue his dream, job and goal.”

What do you think about the love which has been started as the relation between a master and her pet?
“In Korea there are few couples who live under the same roof before their marriage, so it is unlikely to happen to me. However, it may happen if I love her from the beginning…?” This is where he began to use expression ‘to love someone’ many times. That means we glimpsed his manly side. “I believe what the most important thing in life is ‘sincerity’. So I don’t care how old she is when I love her, rather care about her personality more than her age.”

Besides, he added his comment about how he feels about senior women. “As for me, mature women are those who enjoy both jobs and love, and have a lot of experience. They seem to protect junior men like YMP. But I am the man who wants to take initiative about love. As I am a man, I protect my loved one!” He didn’t hesitate to declare that. We wish Japanese ‘herbivorous’ men would follow his manly attitude.

He was very surprised to hear that there are many people who don’t or can’t love someone in Japan. “Why can’t they love? As for me, ‘to love someone’ is the most important thing. It reminds me when I heard that there are many Japanese couples who don’t say ‘I love you’ each other. I wonder why they don’t say so because I believe couples get married because they love each other. My parents say each other, ‘I love you’ almost everyday. I’ve found the way they express their love to the other beautiful since my childhood. So I will say to my loved one, ‘I love you’ everyday. Definitely!”

My dream will never finish. I will continue to set a new dream.
After his exclusive interview, we invited Kim Ha-neul to our interview. JKS said to us mischievously, “She taught me how passionate we should kiss.” As soon as she heard his words, she replied, “Don’t play with me. I just accepted your way.” We all laughed out loud at their dialogue. Their relationship looked really like one in YMP!

And we glimpsed the moment when JKS changed into a pet with his arm around her waist. In this way he transforms himself into boyish sex or male sex freely. He must have an excellent command of such transformation though we don’t know he realized this power. He smiles as if he were an innocent child. On the other hand, he also shows us his coolest eyes as an adult. And we are captivated by him easily. We realize that this is his charm and secret of his popularity.

Kim Ha-neul describes JKS as follows. “He is more energetic than all other Korean actors. So just being with him makes me cheer-up and I feel I can perform better than usual. Even if his schedule is packed, he always enjoys acting. This is also one of his strong points.”

In fact, this interview was held just after he had finished his performance at Tokyo Dome and returned to Korea. In spite of his tight schedule, he attended a university before our interview. By next year he will have worked in showbiz for twenty years. He’s broken through as a star, but he doesn’t change himself at all. And his dreams continue without end. “I can’t still believe that my dream from a child to perform at Tokyo Dome came true. But now I am thinking to set a next dream. I hope that I can translate it into reality in the near future. I will continuously set and tackle my dreams.” JKS will proceed to the new dream with rush of hope and shining eyes. What kind of the new world will he show us next if we follow him? We must see a world beyond our imaginings.

The photo of Jang Geun Suk on the cover of Japanese magazine, “Men’s Non No,” was released on August 10th. The star actor/singer became the first Korean celebrity to don the cover of “Men’s Non No” magazine.

Featured in the September issue of the magazine, Jang Geun Suk appears in a sophisticated black suit look. With his brown long hair and a thin black tie, Jang Geun Suk perfectly expresses the metrosexual style. The photo shoot for the magazine’s cover and eight-page special feature took place in Korea last month.

The chief editor of the magazine said, “After shooting some photos with Jang Geun Suk, I realized he’s not just a great model that dresses perfectly well, but a real professional who knows how to express himself. He’s a ‘new generation fashion icon’ with a variety of charms. You can’t describe Jang Geun Suk in a single word. He’s truly one of a kind. I look expect to see a lot more of him in the future."

[news]Shocking words from JKS

hello pretty EEL's

Chinese translated source

[20 June 2011] Shocking words from JKS: He wants to be super star & takes script into his coffin..

Tengxun Entertainment News – JKS is undisputedly the most popular Hallyu star in Japan today. Whenever he appears on the cover, the magazines are sold out; his first album topped the Oricon weekly chart upon its release. His latest drama “Marry Me, Mary(M3)” has just been broadcast on TBS, Japanese TV station. In April, the journalists from magazine “Hallyu STAR AERA Mook” flew to Seoul specially to interview the “little old man” (JKS’ nickname), JKS’ unique take on acting since he had started in showbiz at the age of 5.

While waiting for him at the interview room, we felt uneasy with a mixture of expectation and anxiety. At any rate, he’s a super star of the day. It was our first time meeting him. So no matter that we’ve heard a lot about him, we couldn’t help wondering what he’s really like. However, as soon as we saw his affable smile like a puppy as he entered the room, our worries disappeared. He’s as adorable as Mu-gyul and so cuddly even though he’s tall. Thanks for his sexy voice, JKS performs the role of “bossy” character such as Hwang Tae-kyung better. His exterior beauty takes down all of one’s defenses, and later as he relates his theory of acting in his deep baritone voice, it makes one feel deeply that pretty boys can be so in-depth too. Having played a character in M3 who lives his own life, JKS’ acting skills is also improving. He possesses the endearing child-like quality that makes people love him and virile charm of an actor.

To date, Kang Mu-gyul is the character most similar to JKS

Ikeman (dashing) actor captures the hearts of many female fans through acting in romantic idol dramas. After gaining steady popularity and becoming a star and then acting in other drama genres – this is the trend for Hallyu actors who become popular. Having been a child actor, JKS understands this reason, “I think romance can provide a beautiful fantasy for the audience.”

During the interview, JKS said frankly that the role of Kang Mu-gyul is, to date, the character most similar to his own personality in real life.

JKS’ thinking when it comes to script selection also appears to be different from other actors. He does not have the concept of particularly placing emphasis on the drama genre or theme. “I don’t select the genre intentionally. As for me, the genre isn’t so important. I’d rather select what I think I can perform well, but in case of Mu-gyul, M3, has a lot in common with me. In that sense, performing Mu-gyul has both an easy and a difficult side.”

I must make “JKS” vanish in the drama
After I finish acting, I will carry out self reflection.

Regardless of who one is, we tend to be attracted to his looks, but he also has built a reputation as a good actor since his career from a child star. As an actor, JKS often puts the idea of “I am an actor” in his consciousness. “Whenever I act, I must make “Jang Keun Suk” vanish completely (i.e. complete integration into the character).”

To turn into the character completely – this is the existence value of an actor. With this belief, JKS often takes note to hide the real him, “I am still trying hard to find a way to make myself invisible.” Specifically, when he takes the script, he will focus on it and complete reading it. “Before the camera rolls, I’ll familarize myself with the production objective and script, then internalizing the character is very important. After that, from the character’s daily habits and hobbies, completely transform myself into the character. For example, I wonder about the posture of the character when he drinks water, or which he picks up the spoon or chopsticks first when he eats, I’ll completely analyse such sequences.” This was the case for M3 too. Including his attire and little props, JKS would convey his ideas to the image consultant and then make a decision after discussion with the director. “It will appear more coordinated and smooth when all these important factors are combined.”

“A drama usually changes rapidly in the middle of the shooting. My own life and the time I can control become zero. Hence, sufficient preparation needs to be made beforehand. From the mid-way part of drama filming to the end, maintaining the character’s style becomes critical.” JKS reveals that when his drama is airing, he “would not watch, but would consider opinions from the people around him such as his manager and use it as a way of monitoring his acting performance. After that, I will do a self-reflection on my acting skill.”

After his drama ends its run on television, he will spend a few days, by himself, to watch the DVD repeatedly. “The person who understands Jang Keun Suk the most is still me. As I watch the DVD, I will inspect my own acting. Is it better to act this part in another way? Did JKS’ mannerisms and actions accidentally spill out? I will pen down these inadequacies as a record, and then in the next drama, remind myself not to make the same mistakes. To me, self reflection is to assess myself with a broad and relaxed mindset, to review my acting and from it, a chance to discover new points about acting. After filming ‘You are Beautiful’, I also cultivated another habit.”

After filming starts, I don’t look into the mirror and will rather spend more time on revising the script

The new habit that JKS is referring to is, after the filming starts, he will not look into the mirror. “Even if I’m having my make-up done in the car, I will not look at the mirror. Rather than using the time to check myself in the mirror, I would rather spend the time on reading the script.” The reason why he swears off mirror is “If I look at the mirror, my attention will be on trivial image issues such as how is my hairstyle now, will the result look good on screen. I would not be able to focus on moulding the character. My priority now should be on analysing the script and acting details such as how to improve my voice/tone, and not on my appearance.”

Once a vain “frivolous” guy, now more focused on cultivating self

JKS says honestly that in the past, he cared very much about how others looked at him. “But I understand that there are not only actors in this world, there are also many Ikeman and beautiful people. Rather than waste time and efforts on how to stand out in a crowd of beautiful people, I should be focusing on my actor identity and consider how to act better.” However, this does not mean that JKS will abandon efforts to enhance his looks. He laughs, “On my image, I will give the professional hairstylist and image consultant authority to do what they want, but if after that I find out that they make me look terrible, I’ll half kill them. Hahaha”

I want to be a super star on the acting scene, and also a child who never grows up

Just like that, in between jokes and laughter, JKS answered the journalist’s questions seriously. Counting the years since his childhood debut, JKS has been in showbiz for nearly 20 years – he’s really a veteran. The journalist concludes, “In fiercely competitive Korean showbiz where newcomers abound, can JKS persevere in his own style? During the interview, I saw JKS’ unhurried calmness. Perhaps this is the first and foremost requisite in the face of competition. In such a cruelly competitive world, how does JKS stand out?”

JKS said, “I still have to depend on the cultivation of my skill, and most importantly, how to maintain this competitive edge in the long run. What kind of clothes to wear, what kind of hairstyle, what kind of accessories … of course these are also things to consider, and perhaps also something not to be overlooked. But compared to this, the sense of presence that emanates from my inner self is more important. And this is not something that can be done by others. This is something that I have to create.”

On 27 April, JKS released his debut single “Let me cry” in Japan and realised his dream of being a singer, also setting the unprecedented record of a foreign singer’s debut single topping the Oricon weekly chart in its first week of release. Having acted a singer in many of his dramas, JKS’ entry into music scene has been much anticipated, but getting such good results is something that JKS did not expect. When asked how he balances his roles as an actor and singer, JKS laughs, “I often get asked this question and was thinking of how to avoid being asked this by you [laughs]. I think Mu-gyul in M3 is an excellent challenge to me. No matter how much I worry over it, there is only one answer.” JKS does not hide his ambition in the area of acting; he claims he wants to become the super star in the drama world. “Whether as an actor or singer, it is a way of expressing feelings; this is the prerogative of an artiste. Hence, rather than consider ‘should I select acting or singing to convey my feelings’, I want to focus on how to express my inner feelings and bring more moving, heartfelt (performances) to more people. I want to become this kind of artiste.”

After some serious deliberation, JKS reveals his playful and humorous side. When asked what is the most important thing in his busy life, his answer made the journalist laugh and realise that actually, JKS is only a young man not yet 24 years old who has the same playful nature as his peers. JKS said that he loves cars. “No matter how old I am, I hope that cars will continue to be a cherished ‘toy’.” He said he bought a beige Porsche 2 years ago. “Until I become an old man, I don’t want to sell it.”

“Why?” The journalist asked in curiosity.

“Because I will maintain it well, and want to maintain this interest even as I grow older. I want to live happily with my car. As I get older, I will treat it as a symbol of my ‘success’, I want to become a dashing oh-ji-san (uncle).”

At a tender 23 years, JKS has already planned his life-ending ideal?!

“I want to bring the last script I read into my coffin. Rather than be a ‘star’, I want to become a ‘star actor’ (a super star amongst actors).”

At the end of the interview, JKS expressed his ambition once again, and expressed his passion for acting.

张根硕语出惊人：想成为巨星 把剧本带入棺材

腾讯娱乐讯（Mango/文）说张根硕是如今日本韩流中人气最旺的男星恐怕没有人有异论。作为封面人物的杂志迅速售罄，出的第一张CD在公信榜初登场即登上周榜销量冠军的位置……4月，杂志《现在想见你！韩流 STAR AERA Mook》的记者专门飞赴首尔，倾听了这位5岁就开始在演艺圈打拼的“小老头儿”（张根硕绰号）对于演技的一番独特看法。
《玛丽外宿中》的姜武(微博)玦是迄今为止和自己最相像的角色
张根硕主演的电视剧《玛丽外宿中》刚刚在日本的TBS电视台“韩流select”开播。在专访中，他坦言剧中扮演的“姜武玦”是到目前为止和真实中的自己最相像的角色。
“在专访的地方等待张根硕到来的时候，因为期待和不安，我不能够把情绪冷静下来。现在人气最火爆的艺人，之前听了很多关于他的事情，自己对于他是怎样的一个人的妄想，自然而然地膨大起来”杂志的记者坂口SAYURI表示事前的一切忧虑在见到张根硕本人的一瞬间全都化为乌有“打开门走进来的他，如同子犬般令人怜爱的笑颜，把我的不安全都吹散了。和‘武玦’一样可爱得令人有种想上前把他拥在怀中的冲动（尽管他的身材很高）。
张根硕外在的美丽让人心不设防，而随后用安稳低沉的声音娓娓道来的‘演技论’让人不禁感慨：原来美男也可以如此深刻”。在电视剧中扮演我行我素角色，现实中的张根硕演技在慢慢地成长着，“他是既有孩子般让人疼爱的气质，也有男人强硬担当的一面的‘役者’（演员）”。
IKEMAN（帅气）男演员通过主演恋爱题材的偶像剧把众多女性粉丝的芳心俘获，在得到稳定的人气成为明星后再出演其他题材的作品——这几乎成为韩流演员走红的一个定律，童星出身的张根硕自然明白这个道理：“我想恋爱可以给观众以美好的fantasy”。
对于选择作品的方法，张根硕的思维也显得与其他演员与众不同。他没有“特别注重划分题材来选择出演之作”的意识，“对我来说，我不会特别重视题材的类别（刻意挑战新题材）。我更倾向于选择最适合自己演（自己演得最好）的角色。《玛丽外宿中》的武玦就是一个和自己有很多相像地方的角色。（由于和真实中的自己很贴近）在实际演的过程中，既有容易也有困难的部分”。
我必须令作品中的“张根硕”消失 每次演完后会一个人开“反省会”
尽管无论是谁，第一眼见到张根硕都会首先被他的外形所吸引。而从童星时代开始积累至今的经验，令他的演技逐步受到专业人士的肯定。作为一个“役者”，他经常会把“我是演员”的意识放在心中，“我每次在演戏的时候，必须要令‘张根硕’彻底消失（完全融入到角色中）”。
完全变成角色——这正是一个“役者”的存在价值。带着这样的信念，张根硕会经常注意把真实的自己隐藏起来，“我还在努力摸索着（隐藏自己的方法）”。具体说来，就是一拿到剧本的话，就会一心一意地把它读完“在开机前，会把制作的意图和剧本熟读，然后把它（角色）变成自己身体的一部分很重要。之后就会从日常生活的习惯、爱好等细节方面，彻底变成角色”。“例如，扮演的人物喝水时是什么姿态，在韩国吃饭时是勺子和筷子一起使用，那么角色是先拿勺子还是先拿筷子（这些先后顺序）我都会研究通透”。《玛丽在外宿中》也是如此。包括衣装和小道具，张根硕把自己的意见告诉造型师，然后和导演商量后决定采纳的方案“这样综合起来的要素会显得更加协调”。
“电视剧的拍摄进入中盘后，就会进入瞬息万变的状态。自己的生活和（可以自由掌控的）时间都会变为零。因此，事前需要做充分的准备，从（摄影）中盘到终盘为止，保持角色（的风格）显得很关键”张根硕透露自己演的剧在放送时“不会去看，而且会把经纪人等周围的人的意见当作是自己演技（表现评价）的monitoring（监控器）。在这之后，则会独自一人开‘演技反省会’”。张根硕言在电视剧播放完毕后，他会一人花费数日时间，反复地看DVD“大概最了解张根硕的，还是我自己”，“我会边看DVD，边检查自己的演技‘这里这样演是不是更好’，‘张根硕的神态动作是不是不小心露出来了’？……我会把这些不足的地方全都用笔记下来，然后在下一部戏时提醒自己不要犯同样的错误”，“对我来说，‘反省会’是从容地审视自己，回顾自己的演技从而挖掘出新的演技感悟的机会。在拍完《都是美男》后，我还养成了另外的一个习惯”。
我在进入拍摄后不会照镜子 宁愿多一秒时间温习剧本
张根硕所说的这个新习惯就是每部作品开机后，他不会再照镜子“即便是在车里化妆时，我也不会看镜子。我想与其用这些时间照镜子，不如把时间都花在熟读剧本上”，他表示如此与镜子“决绝”是因为“如果看镜子的话，会把注意力都放在‘现在的发型怎么样，拍出来的效果会不会好’等造型的琐碎事情上，不能平静心情专注在角色的雕琢上”，“对于现在的我来说，比起外形，我更应该把精力集中在研究剧本，‘自己的声调应该如何发挥’等演技的细节上”。

曾经是很爱美的“轻浮男” 现在更注重内在涵养的修炼
张根硕坦言过去很在意别人如此看自己，“但是我明白这个世上不仅是演员，还有很多IKEMAN和漂亮的人，与其把时间浪费在挖空心思想如何能在一群‘美人’中脱颖而出，不如正视自己演员的身份，考虑如何把戏演得更好”。话虽如此，这并不意味着张根硕会放弃对外形的精益求精，他笑称：“在造型上，我会把权力留给专业的发型师和造型师（任由他们发挥），但如果事后发现被他们整得很糟糕的话，我会half kill他们。哈哈哈”。

我想在戏剧界成为一名巨星 也是一个永远长不大的孩子
就这样，在穿插笑话的过程中，张根硕认真地回答了记者的问题。掰起手指从童星年代算起，张根硕已经快出道20年，是个不折不扣的veteran（老手）。“在新人辈出，竞争异常激烈的韩国艺能界，他可以继续坚持自己的风格走下去吗？采访中，我看到张根硕的从容和冷静。也许这正是面对竞争首先必须具备的”该杂志的记者感叹道。被问到“在竞争这么残酷的艺能界，你如何可以拔群？”时，张根硕表示“还是得靠自己内在积累的实力，以及如何把这个内在的竞争力长期维持下去至关重要”。“穿怎样的衣服，留怎样的发型，戴怎样的饰物……当然这些都是自己应该考虑的，也许也是不能轻视的。但比起这个，内在散发出来的气场显得更重要。而且这个也不是靠别人之力就可以达成的。这是自己‘原创’的东西”。
4月27日，张根硕在日本发行了自己的首张单曲《Let me try》，实现了歌手出道，并且创造了出道单曲登公信榜周榜冠军这一海外歌手史无前人的纪录。在多部作品中演绎了歌手的张根硕进军歌坛是众望所归的事情，但获得这么好的成绩就是他本人也没有料到。“你是如何考虑保持演员和歌手这两个身份的平衡性的？”记者问，张根硕笑道“这个问题最近经常会被问到，我也在烦恼如何才能避免被你们问起这个（笑）。《玛丽》中的武玦对于我来说是一个出色的挑战，我想。但是不管我怎么烦恼，答案恐怕都只有这一个”，张根硕毫不讳言自己在演技方面的野心，称想成为戏剧界的巨星“不管是演员还是歌手，都是表达感情的一种方式，这也是艺人的特权。为此，比起考虑‘是选择表演还是歌唱来表达’，我更想成为专注考虑‘如何把自己内心的感情表现出来，给更多的人带去感动’，我想成为这样的艺人”。
在深沉了一番了，张根硕也露出俏皮风趣的一面。被问到“在工作这么忙的情况下，人生中重要的东西是什么”时，他的回答令记者忍俊不禁，同时才回过神儿来发现“他其实也不过是未满24岁的年轻人，有着和同龄人一样的‘玩心’”。张根硕表示他是爱车一族“无论是变成多大岁数的人，我都希望可以把车当作是‘玩具’一直珍视下去”，他说两年前买了一辆Beige色的Porsche车，“到成为欧基桑为止，我都不想（不舍得）把它卖掉”，“为什么”记者忍不住好奇，“因为我一直好好地把它养着的，而且想把这个兴趣伴随着自己年纪的增长一直持续下去。和车一块开心地过日子，自己的年纪也会慢慢变大，把它当作自己当作目标的‘成功’的象征，我想成为一名帅气的欧基桑（大叔）”。
23岁的弱冠之年竟然已经规划好人生落幕的理想？！

我想把自己人生最后读的一本剧本一起带入棺材。比起成为“STAR”，我更想成为一名“STAR演员（演员中的巨星）”。在采访的最后，张根硕再度“明志”，表达了自己对演戏的热爱。
