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.

Philippines has so much love for korean dramas. 2 big tv stations are fighting for korean dramas. Korean actors and actresses are much even popular than philippine locals. ;)

I'll visit korea soon ;) I love watching korean dramas. I love javabeans :P i love Jang geun seuk, i love Kim sun ah, oh i love all koreans :P

Pardon me, I am just crazy ;)

Omo is he REALLY coming to Singapore? LIke, for real? I wanna go i wanna go i wanna go!!!

But then again, the tickets will likely be very pricey. When Lee Min Ho held his fanmeeting here in Dec, tickets were at S$100 - S$190. Which is considered very very expensive.

HAHA! I was also puzzled when I read the title. A tour?! He's not even a full fledged singer! But now I see....Strangely though, the rest of the anjell aren't going? I'm glad he's coming to Singapore! I don't think I will go down though, because there's surely gonna be alottttttt of people, and I hate squeezing. hmpf. But, yes to YB on free-to-air tv!

@16 Alert- Doesn't it feel like you've achieved something great when you actually get people hooked onto You're beautiful?;-) I keep begging and bugging people to see just the first two episodes and then they keep begging me to show them the rest of the episodes.The two episode trial works like a charm every time and I always have the last laugh.:-)

@34 Nom_Kitteh- You've echoed my sentiments exactly hehe.:-)Hmmm maybe a slight flight diversion might make him land up in my country.*dreams*

@Anonymous

That's also my problem. I really want to see him in person but so ashamed because of my age.

I have experienced going on fanmeetings but with those korean actors in their 30's and whose fans are really ajuhmmas. But this time, 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.

Yeah! Can't wait to see YAB being screened in Singapore. :) I'm sure JGS's popularity will increase after that. Any Singaporean fans here?

Singapore fan here too!

I hope it is Mediacorp Channel U instead of the cable TVs though, because this show will gain more exposure airing in a public channel. Still remember how much buzz BOF generated when it was aired on channel U?

Whoa, so many Singaporeans...which is a good thing! Can't wait to see JGS in Singapore - we're getting a fair bit of Korean celebrities coming through the country in 2010, which I never thought would happen! Does it mean they finally think we're a market?? Suspect it IS Mediacorp who bought the rights...not that it matters much to me, since I've already finished the show, but I do hope it'll do well so we get more of these people coming through!

(And I'd like to say, why isn't Super Junior stopping on their way here in their tour even though they are performing in KL which must be less than half a day away by bus?)

Yeah, it does feel so great to keep on adding more members to the ever growing YAB follower ( i'm a little YAB embassador hehe). And it felt even better when every time they talked about JGS and YAB, I could give my cocky smirk and say.. been there done that.. and I was even worse than you.. nothing beats watching the drama when it's still hot.. and have thousands of faceless bffs to share your addiction.

And they would give me the jealousy look. which I love to get hehe.

@74 mskmouse and all other Singaporeans

Yupz i hope YAB will be shown on Channel U too. I dun have cable at home. :( And YAB deserves to be as big a hit (if not bigger) than BOF! Really wish to go for his fanmeeting if it's not as expensive as Lee Min Ho's...
