Jang Geun-seok embarks on an Asian tour

My first reaction was, “Huh? A tour for what? Is he jumping the gun on a singing career?” But as it turns out, Jang Geun-seok is planning a three-month (March through May) promotional tour through Asia to build buzz for the Asian broadcasts of his latest drama, You’re Beautiful, as well as the Asian releases of his recent films. The drama may only have garnered mania numbers in Korea, but it has enjoyed incredible popularity online and overseas — it’s been bought for broadcasting in 17 countries.

Jang hasn’t yet participated in official activities outside of Korea and Japan, but no matter; he’s heading to China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore, where he will hold fanmeetings. This is in large part due to the requests of overseas fans, according to the notice posted on the SBS homepage. Jang’s management also stated that he also plans on holding fanmeetings in Thailand and the Philippines sometime this year.

Jang will also be holding a fanmeeting on January 31 at Seoul’s Olympic Hall. After his Asian tour ends, he’ll get back to work picking his next acting project.

@katkat
"I’m hesitating to go because JGS’ fans must be in their 20’s which is the age of my son. But still, I really want to see him coz he’s really so cute and a very good actor at his age."

I was at his Japan fanmeeting and there weren't a lot of fans in their 20's there. The majority were ajuhmmas, and I did see some grannies. lol

Wonder if he'll come to Japan again, and this time, bring Shin Hye with him. That would be LOVE!!

Everyone loves Keun Sukkie no matter their age!!

OMO!!! i'm so excited that JGS is coming to SG!!! *faints*

*waves to all commenters from SG* ehh i don't place high hopes on MediaCorp bringing in YAB. Most likely bet will be Starhub/ Mio TV.

i hope the fanmeeting tickets won't be as high as LMH so that I can go...

Within the next year, there will be a seismic shift in Hallyu. All the 81-82 actors will be going or have already gone to the military.

There weren't many popular male leads from 83-85, so we're going to jump straight to the 87-90 range. Which means . . .

Yup, Jang Geon Suk may very well be the top 20-something K-drama actor, and he'll definitely be the biggest 20-something Hallyu. All this within a year.

hi there! am glad their considering Philippines on one of JGS destination for his Asian tour.. i think it will be a blast when You're Beautiful starts to air overseas.. the whole globe been talking about it..am sure even some or a lot of us had already watched it on the internet will watch it all over again on TV..

i don't think JGS will took very long to choose his next project..he stated back on his previous interviews that they split (between him and his manager) ALL (haha!) of drama offers he's been receiving..which is so many.. JGS fighting!^^

I doubt he will come to Indonesia, lots of artists has backed off due to insecurity and such things. BUT if he really do, then he will be the first artist whose event that I SERIOUSLY consider to attend. YB had caught my attention to the point that I watched it thrice. I can even watch the raw now, I know their lines already LMAO

Waves at all the Singaporean fans!! HI! any fan club that i can join?!

OMG so excited that he is coming but rather selfishly hoping that he would not be so popular so that there IS a chance of getting to see him unlike the last time Lee Minho went down to Plaza Singapura!

Oh anyone knows where we can get the Dvd or soundtrack locally? i cannot find them at all despite that my sis friend managed to get it here!

I'm glad that they are finally branching out of Korea (hard to get tix unless one knows a Korean), Japan (hate the balloted seating - one could end up at the back of the hall) and yes, Thailand (dead jealous that Kpop artistes and K-actors go there like every weekend).

It's about time the rest of Asia got some love!!!

OMG!!!! I really am saddened when I read the first part of this news that he will have his Asian tour but Philippines is not included on the countries that he will be visiting. But, thank God, on the last part, they also plan to hold fan meetings here!I really really can't wait for that day to happen!! I started admiring Jang Geun Suk in his drama You're Beautiful!
He acts really well! I really love him as Hwang Tae Kyung!! I know this is much to ask, but I really do wish that AN JELL will have their Asian concert tour.. Oh PLEASE!!! ^_^

Oh, my gooodness -- How great for him!

Oh, shusshh.......((mumbles)).....I can't believe that he's travelling around in Asia EXCEPT our US country....((sad puppy pouts))
I wish that he would travel and enjoy his experience in US (like New York, or whatever else) OOH, I knew that Jang Geun Seok had been travelled in New York City that before, that's good! He's really good-looking and adorable like as a - young man/child, heh!

SOMEDAY -- I hope I will be excited to go to Korea & traveling around these town nor cities and seeing some of Asian celebrities I've never met! OH yeaa!

Hahaha, that's such as silly comment to 6# - Anonymous - Lolz! (grins)
