Jang Geun-seok’s fifth Japanese fanmeeting
by javabeans
Fresh off his latest drama, You’re Beautiful, rising Hallyu star Jang Geun-seok held a fanmeeting in Japan on Sunday before a crowd of 2,000. The event was called 2009 Jang Keun Suk Fanmeeting in Tokyo and was held at Tokyo’s Sun Plaza. The attendees comprised fans from Japan, Korea, China, and even some who flew over from the U.S. to participate.
He sang several songs, including the song “Do You Hear It” (which he sang as part of the OST for his drama Beethoven Virus), “Good Bye” and “Without Words” (which he sang on the OST for You’re Beautiful), and even a trot tune.
This isn’t Jang’s first time in Japan; he held his first fanmeeting there in February 2008 and has held five total in that country. His popularity stems from the numerous roles he’s had over the past several years, several of which have been exported overseas with success. Among those are Hwang Jini, Hong Gil Dong, and Beethoven Virus, which will surely be followed by You’re Beautiful.
Following the fanmeeting, Jang flew back home to Korea, where he intends to take a break for the moment while surveying potential new projects.

I see his unique sense of style has returned full stop. Lord have mercy...JGS, you're definitely in the top five on my list as President of the ICOMYM club, but when you dress yourself, I fret. Still, you wouldn't be YOU otherwise, I suppose. So you just wear your girly clothes and play with Pig-Rabbit all you want, sweetheart. Mama loves you. :-D

Randomfan I was JUST going to say the same thing. :) I don't know who told him that it was okay to dress like rihanna but that person must be stopped.
The pointy shoulders MUST GO. And I love you JGS I do... but what is with your hair? Go... get rest, find another amazing project AND some fashion advice.
<3
AHHHHH He did pig nose. SO cute. The other outfit with the fur is better than the Dracula shoulder pads he's rockin in some of those pictures...
But he's still so darn adorable I can't help myself.

@ sere : "Soooooooooooooo distracted by the shoulder pads. And yet, can’t.Look.Away! "
and @ langdon 813 : "Lord have mercy… Mama loves you."
You guys crack me up!!
Without swearing I cannot repeat the comments I made upon first seeing the "ensemble" (and just when precisely did he win that Victoria Cross?), but then I just laughed and laughed. Omo! indeed. The scary thing is, he didn't even choose a cowl neck, but the look still went all to hell. Such a pretty Vampirette.
But you can't help loving him anyway, poor little possum. You just want to lead him away to the wardrobe and give him a very stern lecture, all the while tossing anything draped or glittery into trash bags.

What the what, I can't even look at this outfit without feeling a tad embarrassed... but you know what as long as he is owning it, he can wear whatever he wants. Part of me wants to say that he needs to tell his guy friends not to let him walk out looking like this, but I really don't like interfering with someone's way of expression. It's fun!

Aaaw he's so adorable. But i'm definitely not digging the outfits, what's with the shoulder pads? and the fur? The outfit would have been fine without the fur, but it looks like he's carrying a possum on his shoulder. LOL. Either way, I still love you JGS, especially when you did that pig nose =)

How on earth did I fall for a man who wears shine shoulderpads?! Oh well, we all did anyway.
Now I'm simply curious of what he would wear next! LOL!
@36 Anh
That's what I thought too. Now I believe that HTK outfits were all borrowed from JGS wardrobe.

Ok I might be the weird one but the shoulder pads don't bother me at all and I kinda of like it. Its the dead animal on his shoulder that gives me the WTF moment not because it looks so bad which it does but its a dead animal on your shoulder man. Get it off and bury it.
He is still the biggest cutie but he can be drop dead gorgeous with better clothes.

1. Only 2,000 people attended? Lee Min Ho had 8,000. I hope he has a fanmeeting in Korea next month.
2. I love JGS but he definitely needs a new stylist stat!

i miss Hwang TaeKyung! I guess now that he's not at the slightly more talented hands of the You're Beautiful stylists anymore (though there were a few questionable choices in that drama), he's off to dress in those weird outfits that he seems to like. I think part of the reason I like seeing him on screen is that the movie/drama's stylist will put him in flattering clothes.

Carrie- i know right? It's exactly like Rihanna's outfit in the gala ball she recently attended. I guess it's unisex or something.
I forgive him because he did a pig nose.

omg! i don't care what he was wearing (although a lot of people will say it's very current) - i can forgive him anything when he flashes that smile. *heart*
and to think about it, he only probably smiled 30% in YB - so it must've been hard for him because he has such a natural, beautiful, sparkling smile.
JGS will have a really long career as an actor because he knows how to cherish his talent and truly embodies his characters.. amazing guy! i can't wait to see what he plays next.
