Rapper G to debut in Japan

So Ji-sub is making his Japanese singing (well, rapping) debut, reports a Japanese newspaper. The actor put out a single last year using the name “G” and appeared in the MV; after the song’s release, it was belatedly revealed that the “faceless rapper” G was in fact So Ji-sub. Now it’s being reported that he’ll begin promoting his music career in Japan as soon as February of this year.

He has not ever performed live as G (nor made appearances), but he does enjoy popularity in Japan from his past dramas I’m Sorry, I Love You and What Happened in Bali. Last December 26, his fanmeeting in Osaka was attended by 6,000 fans.

His management, BOF, says that they have not yet fixed plans for Japanese activities. So Ji-sub is currently filming the highly anticipated SBS drama Cain & Abel, as well as working on the Korea-China joint film Sophie’s Revenge. (You’d think he has enough on his plate without choosing this time to branch out into a second career.)

honestly i like him as an actor, as a rapper? am not too sure... i think anyone who has talent may do well to branch out on any field they may succeed. However as an active artist in film and on tv one should consider the kind of character or role he has and will assume and to match it in their venture in the music industry..

i believe when packaged well, it would do good to promote both careers. it would be stretching it too thinly if his predisposition as a serious actor be matched w/the rapper image he would want to build himself now.

i just don't think the rapper image would suit the genre of films and tv projects he has worked on and hopefully will continue to work with.
