Jang Geun-seok wraps up Asian tour in Japan
by javabeans
Since March, Jang Geun-seok has been busy traveling on his Asian tour, which has taken him to Taiwan, Beijing, and Singapore. Last but not least, he headed to Japan for May 29 and 30 fanmeetings in Tokyo and Osaka, which is where the photos below come from.
Both events drew approximately 2,000 fans, and there was such a rush to buy tickets that fans had requested a larger venue. Alas, venue issues prevented that from happening and the two events took place at the Gotanda Yuport Hall in Tokyo and Universal Studios Japan in Osaka.
With the Asian tour now over, Jang will turn back to acting. Following his extremely popular turn in last year’s You’re Beautiful, Jang will next appear in the remake (movie, not drama series) of Japan’s Kimi wa Petto, or You’re My Pet. A female lead has not yet been cast, but the most recent reports named Han Ye-seul as a possible choice.

He's yummy, but that 'do looks better on Oh Ji Ho. If Jang Geun-seok's hair is going to be long, it would look better in a pony-tail.... On a second look, the hair still suits him.

I'm so happy that his FMs were a complete success! i do hope he drops by in the Philippines too sometime this year...
I believe he is already practicing his dancing skills in preparation to becoming Momo.. I hope they confirm the lead actress soon.. Still hoping for Kim Sun Ah since she dropped out from I am Legend already..

Hi dramabeans. Actually there's one more fan meeting coming up in the latter part of June. In Hong Kong. I love JGS but im starting to question his decision to do Kimi wa Peto. Been tracking him on the news (and forums) for several months now and i think JGS is Momo already. I think i would go into sugar-shock when the movie trailers come out. It would be just too much. I've watched the dorama and i'm not a big fan of Momo. I don't want an (overly) girly JGS! Bring me back the boy-next-door cutie of the Baby & Me and Beethoven Virus days!

Fashion is not so abominably hideous this time, but have to agree that the hair ain't so flattering. Still gotta love JGS though despite the fashion **gag*** faux pas.

Also sooooooooo totally NOT looking forward to Kimi wa Petto. Didn't like the J-version and don't have much hopes for K-version. Is he trying to make-up for turning down BBF? Wrong choice, in my opinion.

I was there. He looked soo gorgeous. I love his hair, the outfits not so much except the one he wore when he sang and danced Sexy Back. OMG, sooo hot!!!!! Pictures are one thing, but seeing him in person is another. So if you see him in person you would understand how gorgeous he really is. I love him in the maroon shirt he came in after the press conference. He's sooo cute in that hair. I really like him in it.
Oh and JB, Sukkie has the HK FM on the 19th I believe. I think that will be his last FM for the Asia Tour unless he decides to add another country on.

Oh gosh, I am really happy to see my best (honestly, it's slightly crush for him)
actor Jang Geun Seok so finally -- ooh, especially he's really busy around his tour in
Asia, hmm!
And..... I love seeing his friendly & smiling face like that (from this pictures, heh!) Other thing, I missed seeing his acting so, like, tough & kind-of-bad-boy-type as almost as "You Are Beautiful" drama, hehe!

Ah...I wish he would cut his hair! His hair was still at a bearable length in You're Beautiful, but I think it's too long here. Not sure if it's just me, but I think short hair suits him better! Besides that, I'm still a fan of his.

Same here! It's funny because if he's not Korean there's no need to wonder if he's gay or not. His clothes would be a dead giveaway. I was watching Glee recently and saw Kurt. His fashion is strikingly similar to that of JGS' HTK in YaB as well as what JGS has been sporting lately.
But i think JGS is already crossing the line because even Korean media is questioning his "girly" fashion already. But whatever he is, he certainly has some guts. Pretty, girly, gutsy JGS.

love this guy! he has such a potential to be an amazing actor, but most of the time, his clothes make me cringe! somebody should shoot his stylist!
p.s
at least his clothes look ok here. =)
and i think the hair is because of his new movie (momo has longish curly hair in the original jap drama kimi wa petto)

I would have to drink a bottle of tequila to dress up in that pig-rabbit outfit.

I personally can't stand his fashion choices. I can't, as a straight woman, find a man attractive that is wearing things that belong to women. And not to mention how his body language and behavior also seems to be getting very feminine. Charm in women and men is different. He's "acting sexy" as a woman would and it just makes it very disturbing.
He should feel confident enough to be manly AND charming, as a man. He's very handsome, talented and has everything working for him so he should trust his looks and talent instead of trying to be cute and prissy like this.
I mean, I don't know what the rest of his fans think, but do they honestly like him looking and acting like a girl? Is there some asian culture thing I'm not getting? Cause to me, he just looks skinny, unhealthy and unmanly now. A shame, for such a handsome young man.
That said, his clothes in these pictures are very nice. I don't agree with the heels though. He's been a bit heel crazy after YAB. And with the clothes he's usually wearing, it screams "princess" even more.
No offence, my two cents :D

Tell 16yr old if she gets pull over by a cop, call auntie, we'll get her out of the slammer. Better yet if she drives really carefully from the get go. Good luck, driver-in-training.
Btw, my eye-sights sucks, except when it comes to crazy obasan cosplay gear.

Ahaha. That must have been a funny moment. We all love him, that's a fact. I think he's very talented and has potential to be great. If he keeps this style and behavior up though, I won't be able to like him as a man for long and it's a shame because he is a stunning man.

The lady in the pig rabbit outfit should be Korean. A group of them came to the Singapore fanmeet all dressed in the pig rabbit get-up. I'm quite sure it's the same group and they are very young...not ahjummas at all!

I do know it's a fashion thing in East Asia, but do East Asian women actually like their male idols girly? That's what I'm not getting. If this is just something the entertainment industry is pushing on to the fans or if they actually like it. Then again, it's a whole chicken-egg thing. Whichever came first, it's a way of life now.
Not my taste, sorry.

JGS! Omo so looking forward to Kimi wa petto, although wish it was a series instead of merely movie length. Momo had shoulder length hair in the manga and the series, so I presume /hope it is for his project rather than a statement of personal flair ~

He did say in an interview that he can't wait to cut his hair, that it's only for You're My Pet that he keeps it at that length (I think he will perm it one of these days to make is as curly as Momo's hair in the manga?)
So glad he had successful Japan FM... cannot wait for Hong Kong now. 2 more weeks!! ^.^v
And of course, the ANJell first fan meeting in Tokyo a week after that...
JB, thanks cri~ ^^

Geun Suk is spotting Unisex fashion sense . Since 2005, I heard some portion of Korean youth was having Unisex trendy. The boyfriend could wear his girlfriend aclothes to go out in the public and his girlfriend could buy woman bag for him on his birthday .
I don't understand why Unisex trend want to turn all of the boy into women ?
I blame that for the computer's generation . Many kids nowadays don't want to go outside and play, they spend times with their computers, and games, and thus these make them so skinny, pale, and less macho .

Well, I don't think this has anything to do with computers. Men use computers all around the world and not all are white and weak looking or girly. He's skinny and looks pale because he's lost weight again and is working hard. He's girly cause he chooses to dress so.
I get a guy with a bag. If it's manly. Men need to carry stuff too. But there's a world of difference between some unisex things that are made for convenience and men looking like women.
If they are only known/circulate within their country, fine. Keun Suk however, has many many international fans. He should know that other cultures can only interpret his style as that of a homosexual man. Because in western countries, only gay men would dress like that. Nothing wrong with that and it's just fine being gay, but I get the feeling that that's not the image he's trying to project. He's trying to impress women (I'd think) and he should consider non-asian women too. And even asian women can't aaall be into girly men. His style limits his fanbase. He should be trying to be more generic and please all. If he is indeed doing this to attract attention. Bad attention isn't beneficial attention and I don't believe in the "there's no such thing as bad publicity" nonsense.
