Samsung fansigning event features Jang Geun-seok

Oy. On the heels of that handsome, newly released Tae-kyung-inspired photo (and the one from the more sartorially questionable Japanese fanmeeting), we’ve got super-cutie Jang Geun-seok once again delving into his wardrobe o’ whimsy for this lovely new look, which he donned for a fansigning event on December 5. It took place in Seoul at the newly opened first store for Samsung Mobile.

So how do you know if Jang Geun-seok dressed himself for an event? If he comes looking like Snape, that’s a pretty big clue. Pale skin, greasy hair, stifling black wardrobe… If he’s wearing a (p)leathery-looking women’s suit snazzed up with roadkill, that’s another sign. Or if he’s dressed as some kind of ’80s-inspired mage apprentice. Or as an punk-rawk vampire. Or a rocker drag queen. Or a fresh-faced and wholesome-looking ajumma.

It makes me miss the days when he was trying to go over-the-top butch, perhaps to counter his naturally pretty looks. Most of all, I miss when he wasn’t trying so hard to be anything in particular and looked very cute just as himself.

i love him a whole lot... but this outfit IS questionable...
i had hopes that he learned something from hwang taekyung, at least the hairstyle..
maybe he should change his stylist, or get 1 if he doesn't have any...
or better yet, i'll be his stylist! for free!

I say he looks best in simple looks- clean cut suits, cashmere sweaters, etc... although I was in the minority for thinking he was able to pull off the low-cut tops in YB! But according to the reports from Fashion Week, man cleavage is coming back! So you can just think of him as being really, really fashion forward... lol~
I could dress him better if he let me... hahahaha~ He's still as cute as when I first saw him mc-ing as a chubby-cheeked teenager!

"Pale skin, greasy hair, stifling black wardrobe… "

Who knew Jang Geon Suk's idol was Colin Farrell?

He looks like he's putting on weight, losing hair, and uhhhh wearing GOTH GRANNY PANTS???

Go Min Nyu -- dump this fool. Go back to Shin Woo. He may be a mute when it comes to love, but at least he isn't being clothed by the House of Voldemort.

I appreciate and love his quirkiness. He is one actor who keeps me guessing about his looks. I've never once seen a photograph of his and thought, 'yeah, i expected that'.
I can live with the outfit above. No qualms there.
But the Hair has got to go! Aiyeeeeeeeeee
Please JGS, never ever part your greasy hair like that. My fantasies are breaking here.

LOL I love the boy but damn he needs to change that hair (I really think it's the hair that's Snape-inducing. If he was sporting a Tae Kyung look it wouldn't be that bad! He needs to steal the hairstylist from YAB).

As much as I love him .. ( and find him super attractive) he looks SCARY. All in all, it's a super bad choice : clothing, hairdo and excesive make-up.

He should also gain some weight ASAP.

I nearly pissed myself looking over his past...erm "interesting" fashion choices. Bless him, he's rather clueless, but sooooo cute at the same time....at least he's never dull, or showing up looking like everyone else, that must be the motivation behind those clown outfits.

Those pictures posted are quite cute of him hugging his fan's, those lucky girls I’m not jealous at all (she says whilst foaming at the mouth) and his outfit....well lets face it could be ALOT worst. lol.

JB thanks for all the Jang Geun-Seok posts, even though he dresses like a lunatic escaped from an asylum, I’m still hopelessly in love with him - so keep them coming - even if its about him changing the oil in his car dressed like an alien, - just keep those posts coming, to feed my addiction.

Here it's definitly a hair-stylist day-off, and it seems like he is using his initial ANJELL wardrobe, which was changed during the series,possibly as a reaction for netizens disaprove.Seems like that was Tae Kyung real image. To me it is sort of "japanizing" style.
Though I liked how he looked in the episode with swimming pool- his hair and deep red shirt was nice. Actually, all the V-cut shirts were OK.
Personally I think he'll look good in anything if he maintains a healthy weight. He has a good body, so a lot of styles are good for him.
I love him anyway, though on his recent Japan fan meeting pictures I notice a funny expression on his face: he seems to be a little drunk with fame?

yeah, he got the Half-Blood Prince look right down cold. He even has a speaking voice that could rival Alan Rickman, who also delivers a stellar performance whenever he goes on stage or graces the silver screen.

He looks like snape but I happen to think Alan Rickman can't do no wrong and drips sexy for his every pore. However, I can't say I love this look on JGS.

JGS looks like he gained some weight but I think he mentioned he gains weight fast and loses weight fast.

Another Alan Rickman lover. He of the sensual delibrate diction. Have you ever seen him in plays? I saw Noel Coward's Private Lives with Lindsey Duncan and it was truly not only his best work but the best acting in a play I've ever seen.

Amongst the Korean boys, I think Kim Hyun Joong's stylist must be the best. LMH sometimes look odd as well - with those tight pants. Even though I am just OK with KHJ, I think his clothes really look nice on him.

I hope JGS can steal KHJ's stylist. But JGS' dressing style in the old days was not that "forward" and was normal and acceptable. He must have changed stylist starting from 2009. Started to look weird since then.

hahaha you've hit the nail on the head with all those descriptions dramabeans. i think this look is a combination of the ajumma look and the pleather one.

looking through this wonderful collection of 'jang geun suk looks' almost makes me wish he would continue dressing like he did in yb - his style was pretty girly but at least it was consistent!

i think he looks best just being himself, like in this picture you posted:

Wow. Just... that is very pleathery... Very... hmm... Maybe he's trying to ride the wave of the Twilight movie's popularity?? Who knows. I do love his cute, CUTE face but ai chihuahua... those clothes.

Would it be to much to ask for just a pair of jeans, a t-shirt and a blazer that doesn't look like road safety cones had been stuck in the shoulders every once in a while?

Not all the time... just every once in a while... (you're still precious JGS... and I heart you all the same... but wow.)

Really. I know I was all "oh! good for him taking risks n'stuff" but the implication is: you learn some taste along the way. This outfit makes me really wish JGS would hurry up and find his style. I just *know* it's edgy chic, not greasy lesbian.

Boy oh boy.. this guy sure does love attention! And it doesn't matter if it is all for the wrong reasons LOL!

I wish I could dive into that head of his and see what he's really thinking wearing the clothes he wears..

because he wants all eyes to be on him?
because being different is good than being a camouflage on the red carpet?
because he thinks wackiness is in?
because he's craving for attention?
because he simply loves people talking about him - whether it's a good or a bad thing?
or because he really IS a vampire in disguise?

He totally has all the characteristics of a shiny star - so full of himself, so craving for fan-love, so wanting to be noticeable, and so immensely interested in what people say about him. And so successful in doing all that.

A true star indeed. I give you permission to amaze me!

Sigh -- I hope JGS threads are not all going to devolve into whining over and critique of his fashion sense. At this point, we are fully aware that JGS has a quirky sense of style. Unless he is dressed by someone else, he will probably go with -- what seems to us -- outrageous outfits. So will we comment on his style every single time?

I am curious about how many fans showed up. I imagine not as many as in Japan.

What an adorable smile he has. Wish I was there getting a hug from him.

@39 Alert: Most people who seek out fame tend to be narcissistic. Why should JGS be any different? I like that he goes out of his way to meet with fans. That doesn't seem self-serving to me at all. He was gracious to his fans during the shoots, and then a mere week post-YAB, he has had two fan-meetings. That's pretty generous of him.

The first exposure I have of his crazy outfits is the fanmeeting and did not like that one bit.... but now that I am looking a collection of odd looks, I get it and now I totally like it. # 4 You are funny :)!

I think it's his way of diffusing his good looks... so people gravitate less when he's not in character... so if you show up as fans you more or less like his work and looks.

Yay! I have read the article about JGS being flooded by new projects offers recently. It automatically appeared in my mind when I saw the first picture here: JGS Snape version! Oh, only if there could be some Harry Potter parody remake between those projects. Can you imagine his classical "Go Mi Nam?!" turned into "Harry Potter?!"

@ belleza - thanks for that link!

@ mell: "wonderful collection of ‘jang geun suk looks"
- that sounds like an ultimate title for an article, just put them into the order according to timeline :D

I love the way, how javabeans comments the photos.
I´m Alan Rickman fan too.

(I guess all the vitamins the ajuhmmas are sending him are working!)

Okay, shoot me, because I think he's actually cute there. In a Snape-ish fashion, but cute. And you know why? It's because of the smile. I could forgive darned near anything (except the linked butch biker look - cringe) because of that smile.

But then, count me in as those of us who would let Alan Rickman read us the phone book as well.

Nice to see him looking a bit rested - although the Italian Nonna in me still wants to feed him up some more.

Speaking of looks - someone had put together a photo montage of his YAB hairstyles. By episode 13 they were up to 100 looks. The link has to be around here someplace. Really funny.
