Samsung fansigning event features Jang Geun-seok
by javabeans
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.

@ #6 - i agree with you..
let's celebrate JGS including his quirkiness in style. i actually like that he doesn't fit the norm since i definitely think he's above that. his style is something not a lot of people can pull off, much less a guy at that. i'm sure that as he matures, his styles will also grow with him..
JGS is a STAR! he can wear whatever he likes i say!
@ #47 - "JGS could read me the whole text of the stockmarket news or his grocery list in korean and I’d be enthralled" - love this comment a lot!!

Oooh *claps hand in glee*, never thought I'd ever have a need to resurrect my own folly, but hey, better late than wrong:
Hi, JGS, "You're a Greasy Fairy." ;-) Can I still hug you, Chang-hwe, kinda since you are all alone now?

i actually appreciate his style. i don't know if it is HIS style or if it is his stylist, but i like it when people take risks with fashion and just have fun/humor with it. which is what he seems to be doing. it's definitely not his most flattering look, but he does things his own way. like mk olsen, who is my style icon haha

As much as i love jgs, i do not love the fashion.
I think he needs a stylist/a better stylist b/c he is actually really good looking (as demonstrated when he played HTK).
cant wait to see him host melon tho =D

what the heck is that??? Let it be just fatigue that got into his head to make him think that "THAT" looks good!
Much as as I love you JGS, must you head back again to that path of the land of atrocious outfits????
And must i come back full circle to my pre- YB days and scratch my head all the time whenever i see what your wearing...LOL... please say it isnt so!!!

In one of JGS’ interviews I think he said something like he changes clothes around 3 times or so before going out if he’s not happy with what he’s wearing. He has such a crazy, flamboyant sense of style – almost as if he doesn’t care a damn about what people think of him. And somehow amazingly he’s always able to carry off his whacky outlandish clothes with his charm and charisma. And that’s why he ROCKS! :-D At least no one will ever find him boring, which is a good thing when you’re in showbiz.:-)
But I can’t stand it when he resorts to wearing a raccoon or some other furry creature’s tail on his shoulder. That fugly ‘thing’ has to be kicked out of his closet ASAP:-S

Let me narrate what happened:
1. I decided to check the dramabeans site before I sleep.
2. Squeal excitedly at the sight of a new Jang Geun Suk-related article posted on the homepage.
3. Continue grinning stupidly in front of the screen, until...
the site finished loading the image, and I saw that picture of him.
OH.THE.HORROR.
I swear I was so close to choking on my spit. Jang Geun Suk oppa, as much as I love you, you have to, YOU HAVE TO GET RID OF THAT HAIR AND OUTFIT!
Alright nvm, all Jang Geun Suk fans, please listen to this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kybeq2dWBf8
We have to hold our ground firmly, and stay loyal and faithful to our idol, no matter how bad his fashion sense is - "Nothing gonna change our love for JGS!"
But oh please, hope to see more of him like http://www.dramabeans.com/2009/12/jang-geun-seok-buried-in-drama-offers/

From looking at the calender, I realized that he is a smoker,, ehh, what a turn off- TK would never smoke because he would think it was illogical to do so because it can cause cancer....the only thing I think of when an actor smokes is that when he does the kissing scenes, it must be like tasting a cigarette- hopefully JGS freshen up before he has to kiss PSH in the drama

I love your commentary on how you know if JGS dressed himself. LAWLZ x 100000000000.
Hhhhmm...he should get a stylist. Or maybe stop trying to be so damn trendy? I find that a lot of celebrities dress super badly whenever they're trying to be fashion-forward, trendy, quirky, etc. that doesn't really fit their personality (obviously b/c when they wear the clothes, it's weird in an uncomfortable way. But Lady Gaga pulls it off because she is weird, hence, it works for her. Only my opinion).
He should gain some of that weight back too b/c I don't think a guy should be that skinny...

LOL. From the many comments, I can see there are 2 major reactions
1. Can't stand his fashion sense but at the same time, can't help but love him
2. Appreciate and admire the fact that he has the self-confidence and "don't care about what others think of his fashion style" attitude enough to wear the most atrocious clothes or have the weirdest hairstyles.
For me, much as I hate those clothes/hair/makeup, I do think that JGS is a good enough artist that he is able to do as he please (with his wardrobe and looks) without worrying about how negative others will think of it. Surely the fashion sense of Korean fans/media can't be any different from the rest of the world and they will be criticizing him for his various odd dressings. Therefore, to be able to appear in the public in those get-ups and still be so positively popular is a sort of testament to his skills as an actor and entertainer.

But anyway, that smile is priceless and he still looks kind of cute.

At first glance his "quirky" style is a bit much. But then you look past his hair and clothes and you can't help but feel the happiness in his eyes and the warmth of his smile. So you register a second look, and think "actually, although I may not like the clothes, but on him, its kind of sexy...or maybe his charisma overshadows the fashion mishaps." Thus, you-- or I at least feel charmed all over again. Jang Geun Suk can't do anything wrong in my book. Like they say, "love is blind." I will forgive all his faults :P

@42 Nom Kitteh
I'm impressed with the way he treated his fans too. I've been watching his vids on youtube and he seems to really, really appreciate his fans - ie the soompi project book which he got so excited about and even proudly mention it on a radio show - that completely won me over. That's a true star who loved having fans who loved him, and us fans adore such star who appreciate our love and loves us back, so of course we would love him even more!
I found that he's incredibly amazing that he's able to pull through the most craziest, wackiest outfit and seems so proud and full of himself for doing that. LOL (gosh I start describing him similar to HTK). Not that I'm complaining though! It gives him such a character that's sets him apart from others, which I reluctantly drag at fist, but adoringly love later. Plus, I do think we will comment on his outfit every single time haha, coz he will never stop to amaze us in one. Plus, he would love our comments too LOL!
