Images from Jang Geun-seok’s latest photo shoot

Yes — no — er? — no — yes. That was my knee-jerk reaction upon seeing the following shots from Jang Geun-seok‘s new photo shoot, which were released on the 20th.

According to a rep from Jang’s management team, he participated in this shoot because it had been a while since he showed fans a new side to himself, since wrapping his hit drama last year, You’re Beautiful. The new photos were uploaded to his official website, and with his Asian tour now completed, “He plans to greet fans soon with his next project.”

That’s probably a reference to his movie, the remake of Japanese drama You’re My Pet, but one can always hope he’s got his eye on another drama as well.

Oh, Jang Geun-seok and your quirky fashion sense and alternately awful and awesome hair: Never change!

I know I'll get stoned, crucified or both for this, but that's just fugly. That's not what a man's waist should look like and I don't see how women want a man with such a figure. Or why he's even showing that.

He's skinny, to the point of looking ill and his behavior and style lately are just nuts. Wave the serious actor career bye bye if you're going to be like this. Plenty of girly-men idols out there for the fangirls to go kyaa over. Do you really think such a career has a future?

To be fair, this actual photoshoot, waist shot excluded, is quite nice and at least he looks like a man here.

I know, I know. I'm a b*tch and an anti for not wanting an actor I saw potential in and once admired to prance around like a clown, but that's just how I feel.

I'm not going to go into all the excuses and "but"s his fangirls will probably post here in a silly attempt to deny the fact that he's not a God on Earth since I've already said these things many times in DA. This is not a serious actor. This is an entertainer, trying to blind immature and mentally young fangirls into coughing up their money to see an uke-type guy shake it. No thanks.

Good photoshoot, beautiful pictures of a once-handsome man, but a few good photoshoots can't shadow the many bad ones or his promiscuous, girly, arrogant and immature behavior and image that he has recently.

Just my two cents as a person who saw great potential in this man, adore him, respected and admired him and is disappointed that he stooped so low.

wow, maybe you're taking things a bit too seriously? i mean, you have to take note of the difference between the person and the image they're trying to present. you never know, he's might be being told to do this by his manager/company since this is the kind of image fans want and ultimately, they earn money from what the fans want. :\

i mean, yeah, i totally respect your opinion and stuff, but i still think Jang Geun Seok is a serious actor and has potential, but ultimately, since his company earns from him, and now that's he's more famous after You're Beautiful, we can assume he's going to be put in roles/do photoshoots that the company deems more profitable.

Sort of like all those boy band members who do fan-service for their fans like kissing each other:

Do you think they WANT to do that kind of stuff or they're being told to do it because that's what the fans want.

If you don't think doing things like singing "Sexy Back" and shaking one's ass like a stripper on stage is something an actor who claims he wants to be serious and respected should do, then he's not being weird at all.

Here's a nice picture too. I'm being sarcastic. Sure, you can't judge by pictures, but I've been following photoshoots, videos, interviews and a lot of the things he does lately. I just don't see why a talented man does such things.

I do agree on that. I'm not convinced he wants to do these things and of course his agency and companies will want to turn him into an idiot to money-milk the fangirls, but why isn't he resisting it? He's old enough to have more sense than that and to say "no" when he is forced to do things that can jeopardize his career reaching the next level.

Like I said, I've heard all these arguements before, I just don't agree with them. Thanks for sharing your thoughts without lashing out at me though. ^^

I think no one can tell what is or isn't going on "behind the scenes" and therefore speculating over either scenarios is quite pointless imho.

Me? I'd prefer forming an opinion of him as an actor based on his acting skills and the dramas and movies he films. Everything else is PR and I don't see how that can affect his ability to choose projects and/or act well on them? I may not like his promotional...fanservice or whatever it is he's doing (don't know, haven't checked), but if he takes on serious roles, he's good at them and I like his acting, isn't that enough to take him seriously?

Yes, but will he be offerred serious roles and mature works when he's at the level he is now and has this fangirl-based fanbase that wants to see him in teen rom-coms and musical shows?

Of course, it's all up to him, but it's also up to the people that offer him work. Will he get the same offers and chances an actor of higher caliber and a more adult image would get?

I mean, people who make serious movies do not usually cast such idols in them. Simply because the target audience isn't said guy's/girl's fangirls.

You're making a heartwarming drama about a woman with a serious illness. Do you choose Angelina Jolie (famous AND good) or Lindsay Lohan? Why would you want an idol in such a movie? Even if they are good, their own image and fanbase limits their chances at such a film.

0

@Orion.

I get what you're saying and you might have a point about the kinds of roles he might be offered. On the other hand, I'd like to think that TPTB, when casting an actor, would prefer acting skills over anything else ( shall we say, life outside the set?); I know that's not always the case, but heh maybe I'm naive. I still stand by my opinion: a good actor is a good actor, no matter how he behaves "off screen" (Robert Downey Jr, anyone?).

Also, are you actually taking Lindsay Lohan as example of a talented actress? Or an example of someone popular? Cos if it's the latter, I see your point, but if it's the former, I don't.

Sorry for the late reply. Got distracted by MGIAG. ^^ It's kinda late in this part of the world, so if I don't reply, don't take it as I'm ignoring you. I'll probably be sleeping by then.

I so agree with you. I like JKS a lot and I don't care what he did behind the scenes either if he doesn't break the law or moral standard.

Everytime before I take a look of his new pictures and clips on the net or media, I got to cross my fingers and hold my breath. but that 's one of his charm for me too. I've been following his works lately. Beside his look, he still got a lot more to offer. I really believe in him.

"...I mean, people who make serious movies do not usually cast such idols in them. Simply because the target audience isn’t said guy’s/girl’s fangirls..."

i'm so sorry, but didn't he chosed beethoven virus than boys before flowers?
and itaewon-murder-case-or something, i heard that it's a pretty serious too, if that's what you mean.
about the "http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8VMYYThJHoI/S-_E-IbpK3I/AAAAAAAAB3A/dPDxIQrB46s/s1600/6E9062CD7D3ADA9ED1BF2A11432A12.jpg", i'm not try to defend or bash anyone, but yeah, let's admit it, korean entertainment is weird. and what korean idols do aren't like any other idols from any other countries. i'm agree about the kissing-thing. that is sure weird. but that's it. we love them for being weird. or people usually call it 4D. something which is understand. but it is not to be understood.

I'm inclined to agree with Sere just cause I'm that kind of person. As someone else said, he has picked some more serious dramas in the past (like BV over BOF), and I like his acting.

I like his acting in YB, and and respect some of his goofing off. I think what may be happening is he's battling between idol actor and serious actor. Maybe he wants to be taken seriously but the people around him don't think he can with his looks and his fanbase (which I'm sure is 90% pure "ah he's so cute!!!!!!!"--not to say there aren't plenty "ah he's so cute and he can act, too!")

I'm sure as he gets older he'll slip comfortably into pure "good actor" mode.

0

Well, entertainment is never so fair. People's public image is often an issue. Their "categorization" as well. And no, Lindsay Lohan is just a popular idiot that fangirls and boys love. She's never, in a million years, a good actress. XD

He did get BV and Itaewon, but that's because he hadn't gone on the fame-crazy frenzy yet. He was still a young actor, a big cooky, but within limits (plus, he was still young and had the right to be stupid).
But as he gets older, it's less and less understandable and accepted that he does such things and pretty soon, it won't be seen as the "crazyness of youth" anymore.
If he keeps being the way he is now, weird, erratic and seeming to live and breathe just to please fangirls by being immature, will future movie and series makers still want a guy like this in something serious they might do?
Acting is important, yes. And maybe someone will be brave and just enough to overlook the other things, but not many would. They still need to make money and they won't hire actors of such a category that will "sully" their targeted fanbase.

I mean, I'm sure BV and Itaewon already had way too many fangirls kyaaing over Keun Suk that limited the audience variety. And he wasn't even that famous all over East Asia at that time.
When you see that many fans of a work are fangirls, you are inclined to believe that it's something immature or shallow that draws them to it. So you're less inclined to want to see that, if you're looking for a serious movie.
Can you imagine what it will be like for movie makers if he goes on like this? They won't touch him and his huge immature fanbase with a 10-foot pole.

And yes, Hollywood forgives more crazy stuff. They love "taking that broken down actor back", plus, any fame is good fame for them. The whole worlds knows Downey Jr which is why he is now cast in mindless-audience-drawing blockbusters.

Korea somehow doesn't seem as "forgiving". The way I see it, it's a pretty ruthless industry there. The movie and tv industry.

I really hope you are all right and that if he remains a good actor and improves, his public image won't stand in his way of making awesome works. I really do hope that. I just prefer to be a bit pessimistic and realistic than to hope for something my logic tells me won't be possible. I guess the amount of hope depends on the person.

0

You realize you're worrying over something that may or may not happen, right? I understand you care for him and you wouldn't want him to do things that may ultimately damage his career, but I don't see how worrying about what may or may not happen can help in any way; it's only going to give you a lot of headaches and heartache.

Now, it'd be better if we give him a chance and even if he were to make a few wrong choices, which I have yet to be convinced of (cos let's face it, he has yet to be in a project that tanked. His movies and dramas have always ended up having varying degrees of success), he can still rely on his talent. He's still young, if he doesn't experiment now, if he doesn't find out what's the right kind of project that suits him better, when will he?

As I said, maybe I'm naive, but I don't see how popularity can be such a hindrance to his career. The way I see it, there might be drawbacks, but the benefits are a lot more. The more popular he gets, the more fans he'll have which means that regardless of the kind of project he might choose or get offered, more people will watch them ( a)just think of all the music singers who get cast in dramas. Don't they bring a huuuuuuge number of viewers? b)don't fans watch *anything* related to their idol/favorite celebrity? I do and it doesn't matter if the project is not something I normally would watch). Also? The more popular he is, the more "powerful" and independent in his decision-making he can be and I'm ALL for that. If he really can choose his projects with little or no interference from 3rd parties, wouldn't that be better? Again, I don't really like the guess-what's-gonna-happen game so I'll stop now. :)

Re:RDJ. Yes, he gets to film movies that are huge blockbuster hits, but a)isn't that what saved his career? b)even if he were to choose less popular movies that don't do well at the box-office, he still has his talent to fall back on. If he wasn't a good actor, I doubt he would have gotten a second chance. You seem to think that if JGS -or any other young celeb- makes a wrong move now, his career his over. Dude, that's not just a little bit pessimistic. It's the equivalent of a doomsday scenario! ^^ I'd rather think that no matter what his future holds, his talent may be enough to give him plenty of opportunities.

0

I'll agree with you on that. I do worry too much. It's not like I lose sleep over it or anything, but it's just something I'm "scared of".

Like you say though, it's no use obsessing over it until it actually happen or doesn't happen and at the end of the daym, it's up to him. :)

I agree. In real life, the choco abs kind of scare me. OTOH, JGS is a little far on the other side of the spectrum, a little scary skinny. But it does seem as if he is that way naturally. Lanky is more my type than ripped.

I'm never sure if JGS takes himself too seriously or not seriously at all. I like the guy, awful styling or no, so I'll go with the latter. I honestly don't care how strange his antics are, he's quite a promising actor nevertheless.

No. He's just an asian idol. They all look more or less like this. Some just confuse metrosexual with transsexual, which is what he's been doing a lot of lately.

I get a fancy male appearance. Even some many bling and fancy clothes. But keep the behavior respectable for a 23-year-old man and the gender, at least, male.

That's just what I mean by my complaints.

I don't like ALL of his looks, but if they are his own taste, I have a lot of respect. I don't like the actors who lose their personality to suit "normal people's" tastes. Neither do I like actors who behave weird to gain attention.

To judge a person based on appearance is a natural human reaction, but... unfortunate.

I'm also curious about the "arrogant and immature behavior" Orion..

I like the one with the bubble gum..

There really is much to be said about JGS and his girly behavior of late. I guess the most important thing for his management company right now is to continue the hype. And with the just completed Asia tour and the sexy vids and pics circulating lately, i think they were able to sustain the hype alright.

I used to think like you Orion. But then i just gave up on taking all these too seriously. I think it's better to just give the guy a chance. You said yourself that you think he has talent and potential. So maybe he can still surprise us with a good project soon. Let's let him do all these for fangirls now.

Of course I'm giving him a chance. I adore this actor and as long as he gives me good works, I'll be his fan even if he's weird, but because I care so much, I am very scared for him.

I've seen what happens to washed out idols and I don't want such a talented man to be branded as an idol heartthrob and have a shallow career that will end as soon as he's too old and "not fashionable anymore" and the fangirls find new guys to "love".

He really has something amazing, this guy. He can be great and I want him to receive the right kind of attention from the right people for his talents and not for his fan-service.

I like him for his acting skills and unique velvetly manly voice.. it reali created a deep impression.. YAB mite b an idol drama.. bt the director chose him 1st for his acting skills.. and he did acted very well.. also not to forgt the recognition and awards he received for his talent in this area.. so i believed he won't b so easily defeated in the entertainment field. He noes wat he wans.. he makes his own choices.. Also from his FanMeeting.. hes a friendly and fun person.. so i tink he can go far! GOOD LUCK JGS!

The thing is I know he has to diet because of the role, but to the point that only skin and bone is TOO EXTREME and it's not healthy. But I don't think it's only his fault, but the guidance of the management, the PD's request... they're also to be blamed for the image.. I think it does him more harm than good...

Just hope the movie is done quickly so he can be healthy again.

If liking Jang Geun Suk means I am mentally young and possibly retarded, with no standards or brain, or whatever - SO BE IT HE IS SO FANATASTIC OM NOM NOM

I think he's the first and only Korean star I will ever fangirl over. I LOVE that he's weird and not 'respectable' - be it his true personality or strange marketing technique, I LIKE.

At least he always looks like he's enjoying life and doing his own thing [in a completely harmless way, unless you count KILLING ME WITH HIS DELICIOUS QUIRKY CHARM ZOMG] - thats the kinda thing I respect.

Orion, I respect your right to have an opinion, but if Jang Geun Suk started acting all 'srs bznz' all the time and wearing only pretty clothes etc, i doubt the standard of his acting would change - an actor can be serious and dedicated to light projects and being quirky, it entertains some people and certainly sets him apart from the pack, right?

It's like the idea that watching 'deep and intelligent' movies or reading heavy literature doesn't automatically make you intelligent or deep - unless you're doing these things out of enjoyment, it makes you a pretentious douche. True intelligence, IMO, is being comfortable with yourself and not being afraid to pursue what you enjoy, which to me it looks like what JGS does.

I think if he wanted to be a part of one of these artsy, more elite, 'serious' facets of TV/film, a good director will be looking for someone whose acting fits the part, not just someone who fits the image. If I was directing, I would choose Jolie over Lohan because Lohan can't act. Even so, she might be better *for the part* than Jolie - ie if it was a younger, minor character, or a pasty ginger who's a little bit insufferable. =p

tldr; JGS is like the weird kid at school you know you shouldn't have a crush on, but you totally do.

This! This is what I was trying to say, but obviously failed. Thank you for articulating it in ways I could never do. My English, it fails so hard. XD

Absolutely agree with you. rave or rant, good or bad...whatever he did. I still can't take my eyes off of him.

I AGREE!

Korea, IMHO, when it comes to the entertainment industry, tends to be more "normal" than Japanese dramas. JGS to me is just a person trying out different styles and identities - because he can. Because he is not in any way connected to the idol industry - just parts of it. I'm sure to some extent he agreed with this - and not just for his fans. SOOOO... go him. We might not approve of all the photos, but I personally don't think this is a sign of a character defect.

I can't judge him nor overly criticize him. Because a) I don't know what he's like behind the scenes, b) I don't know how much he was forced into the photoshoot.

But, if it was his idea to take photos that way... then kudos.

Besides, Asian industry and concepts of selling the product (oneself) is MUCH different then what we think of. Their concept of self-respect is in some ways different. Not bad. Just different. PLUS... I LIKE the long hair.

Ahjummas, stop your leering. After all, JGS is still only a
boy/man. Give the guy a break.

I love quirky girls/women, so why can't boys/men do the same? I guess different strokes for different people.

As for his actiing, I think he stands out as one of the most talented among his peers.

These aren't what I'd fangirl over. I like men that look like men and not neither man nor woman. I don't think he is that skinny. My brother is around that size and when I feel his arms, he is very muscular. Don't know about JGS being muscular but I don't think he is that skinny. I think I'd like his looks more if only he just cut his hair and dress more manly. Guess I'm in the minority here?

JGS reminds me of young Johnny Depp, and if you don't know to what I'm referring, check out his start in the 80's, when he was beautiful, had amazing screen presence, and you know, just plain WEIRD in photoshoots, interviews, and sometimes, behavior. He was young, experimental, edgy, and frequently, it seemed, off-balance. But he's the only Johnny Depp in the world. That's pretty much how I see Jang Geun Seok.

Forgot to mention, once dated a man with similar physique who was 6'3", naturally lean and lanky, and when he had the flu once, he got scary skinny in two days. He had a high metabolism, to boot. Just sayin', I'm not freaked out by his physique, looks fairly natural, still.

I often think of Johnny Depp when I think of JGS as well but Johnny Depp is more talented. I think JGS has potential as seen in Hwangjini but I think he sometimes get distracted by his own fascination with himself. haha but I titillate between loving him and making fun of him

I agree, that's how I see JGS as well! The b&w photo with with him wearing the bowler hat totally gave me the "Benny & Joon" vibe the minute I saw it.

Well, yes, but he did get serious and so scary talented that he earned his right to be in anything he wants with his works. He worked hard to break free of the idol status.

I hope Keun Suk will be able to do the same, if things get too "stupid" for his own good.

Haha, a lot of actors look even more girly with their manner. Even if he is Gay (sorry for this assumption), I think it's his personal life and it doesn't matter. You love an artist because they are artist, His products still earn money and are quite good also. He is serious in his career, I believe!
Still love him anyway!

I like pics three and five.
Yeah, he's weird, but so am I, so who cares?

@Orion
I think he's a good actor with weird taste. I mean, I am a huge fan of Jo Kwon from 2AM, and even though he does the most ridiculous things in public ever, I have never doubted that he takes his job as a singer seriously. He works hard, and it shows. I don't worry that he'll lose respect as an artist because his variety show behavior and stage behavior is separate - i don't expect him to break into an awful falsetto because he shakes his butt better than I do.

Point is, I don't think that JGS's public behavior and how seriously he takes his work are necessarily related. Doing things that make him look silly at fan meetings doesn't mean he won't do a good job on set and be professional. There is a possibility that he may lose out on opportunities because of his public appearance, but I think he's at a point where PDs will take a chance on him because he's good, and he's fairly well known. So somehow, I doubt he'll end up washed up as you predict. If his behavior starts affecting his acting, though, THEN I'd get worried.

I'd also be worried if by doing these things he was purely making fun of women, and was actually somewhat sexist, as opposed to just doing something that I've come to accept is part of Korean celebrity culture.
