Jang Geun-seok, the outdoor háikər
by javabeans
| girlfriday: | Oh, Jang Geun-seok. Sigh. |
| javabeans: | Wait, first, can we talk about this weird-ass campaign? It’s for a clothing brand called… wait for it… Codes Combine Háikər. As in, one who hikes. I mean, haikes. |
| girlfriday: | As in, writes haikus? |
| javabeans: | Yes. While glaring like Rocky. |
| girlfriday: | Don’t you mean Million Dollar Baby? |
| javabeans: | Apparently the two concepts for the photo are “outdoor haiker” and “barren haiker.” |
| girlfriday: | As in, can’t have children? While hiking? That’s horrible. |
| javabeans: | Which is ironic since Kim Ok-bin(‘s elbow) looks strangely pregnant in that last photo. |
| girlfriday: | I like how his eyeshadow matches his gypsy do-rag. |
| javabeans: | Maybe it’s camouflage for his outdoor barren hiking. |
| girlfriday: | To trick the birds and whatnot? |
| javabeans: | Yeah, maybe peacocks. |
| girlfriday: | It’s fitting for Jang Geun-seok, since male peacocks are the pretty ones. |
| javabeans: | And they STRUT! |
| girlfriday: | Um…is he wearing patterned tights? |
| javabeans: | Why are you surprised by this? He still has his Mary hair. Clearly he’s still reveling in his feminine glory. |
| girlfriday: | He IS strangely attached to that hairdo. Thank god he’s pretty enough to pull it off. |
| javabeans: | Oh, Jang Geun-seok. Sigh. |

The girl next to Jang Geun Seok is pretty, dark and lacking in charisma...while next to JGS, I don't notice her.

LMAOOOOOOOOO!! omg JGS is just full of surprises....wow make up and everything. I truly belive that he is the only K actor who can pull this off and that why he gets modeling and CF offers like crazy...he as that "je ne se quai" about him.....
I read that he is getting ready to start his Album promotion tour and he is #1 in pre-sales in Japan...so great for him!!! the best of luck and LOVEEEEEEEE his hair...... :P :D

You two are hysterical!
I hated this photo-shoot... who ever conceptualized it was strange. I watched him being interviewed and I don't think the hair is going to change, he said this is his favorite style.
I think Geun Suk is perfectly gorgeous but I do wish he'd gain back some of the 15 lbs he lost for You're Beautiful. I thought he looked a lot healthier in Beethoven Virus.

JGS is just so very pretty, but seriously he needs a new stylist. It is not the long hair or even the guyliner, it is the unbelievably questionable fashion choices. He just needs a little help in choosing clothes for his appearances, for the ads he has to wear what the company wants to advertise. I love him, he is so very talented, wierd clothes and all!!

Haha, I was watching a feature on this photo shoot last night on MBC America (lol subscribe to the channel but can't speak a word of the language), and at one point both JGS and the female model wore the *exact same* camo cargo pants. (At different times.) He looked much better in them than she did. Actually, standing next to him the whole segment, she just couldn't compare to his good looks!

He always looks good. But it'd be really nice if he went back to a haircut similar to the one in You're Beautiful. Not the emo look but the other one. haha

No offense to any die hard JGS fans but...is he GAY or what? He's looking more girly everytime he appears in something new. Don't get me wrong, I loved him in You are Beautiful and became a fan since then. However, lately his image has changed...like he's slowly coming out of the closet and it makes me sad because he's handsome and I'm sure he's somewhat nice...but it's just sad that if he was GAY....he wouldn't be reproducing and not only that it's a SIN!

thanks jb and gf!XD i was laughing so much!=P
what kind of hiker wears guyliner?! i bet he'd be pushed off the trail by the real hikers before he even gets to start.
seriously though. his stylists are all blind. bears prolly mauled their eyes when they tried the style on their own prior to using it on him.

I'm not sure if this is their best look for advertising outdoors-wear. They look more like vampire hunters than hikers (haikers??)

I like the fierce look he has in the first photo, the others...not so much.
Kim Ok Bin is prettier, I think. She looks gorgeous.

Seriously. I had to double take on the second picture to make sure it was even a HIM.
JGS with Mary curly hair + colorful eyeliner is seriously messing up my body's natural instinct on which is female and male. =________-=

You said it! My gender detecting radar is now officially messed up. I can't stand that JKS style is getting gayer and gayer by the minute. I think he's now a diva?

I want Jang Geun-seok, Lee Junki, Kim Hye-sung amongst others to have a "so-pretty-they-look-like-girls" competition.
I'm sure massive nosebleeds, heartaches, and fangirl-ness will ensue.

I just hope he cut his hair soon. Its not that I (or we) do not love his hair but I think its about time he cuts it for a change since its already 2011.
Don't you think? :)

It must be a campaign for people that just want to LOOK like they are hikers, since i dont think any serious hiker will look at this and say" wow that dude sure looks rugged and manly" then they go out and paint their faces and buy bright blue "glittens". None the less, he rly does rock those glittens HARD. JGS Love <3

I think JGS is awesome... in YAB! Oh, and in Beethoven Virus as well though he's not the lead. But in MSOAN... and in this pic... he's fast turning into a gay man for me. So yes to Yunah and JiHwan: the hair has got to go!
