A special White Day for Kang Ji-hwan
by javabeans
Kang Ji-hwan is busy preparing for his upcoming fanmeeting-slash-birthday-party, which will be held in Seoul on White Day (March 14; his birthday is the 20th). It’ll be a large-scale meeting with 1,500 fans expected to attend, some of them from overseas.
Acting as MC will be comedian and actor Moon Se-yoon, Kang’s Hong Gil Dong co-star; the two became good friends through shooting the drama together. The day will feature some of the usuals — a question-and-answer session, photo-taking time — but one source from Kang’s side hinted that the actor is planning an additional “surprise event” on behalf of the fans.
Preview clips will be shown from Kang’s upcoming movie with Kim Haneul, Civil Servant Grade 7. Also to be screened is a video called “Young Man in Tokyo, Kang Ji-hwan,” which shows Kang over the course of two months he recently spent in Japan.
In addition to all that, there’s bound to be a performance segment; we know Kang can sing (he started in musicals), and he has even been meeting with a vocal coach three times a week in preparation. (You can listen to him singing in the track below.)
March 14 also marks the Japanese premiere of Kang’s A Movie Is a Movie (aka Rough Cut), while his latest role is for the Korea-Japan telecinema project, in which he is paired with Beethoven Virus‘s Lee Jia.

SONG (REPOST) OF THE DAY
Kang Ji-hwan – “그냥 아는 사람” (Just a person I know) from his drama Fireworks. Perhaps not strong enough to pursue a ballad career, but quite respectable for an actor, no? [ Download ]

Oh finally news about Kang Ji-hwan! I was starting to get worried after his involvement with Triple fell through (and I'm still a bit bummed about that!).
I like how he sings! Wish I could've seen one of his musicals.

Sere, lol: first time I read your comment I thought you said,
"I like how he sings! Wish I could’ve seen one of his muscles."
Not that it really made sense...except to a KJH fan. ^.~

"young man in tokyo" is sorta vague. unless they're going for that "portrait of a young artist" thing.

He also sang in his drama Be Strong Geum Soon to Han Hye Jin, and it was pretty good!

Gogo, Kang Ji Hwan! I love this man so<333
Thanks for the song. He's very respectable for an actor. Or maybe I'm biased because of my love for him ;)

@fizzle,
"Did not know Kang Ji Hwan was into musical theater. "
Grease and Rocky Horror Picture Show (you can find clips of Kang Ji Hwan online doing both I think.) The Voice also did Rocky Horror Picture Show.
