Asia’s Prince Jang Keun Suk shows up, traffic for miles around blocked

Despite a crimpy weather, Jang Keun Suk showed up in downtown Seoul on February 7 to take a pictorial for the first issue of @star1, the stars’ lifestyle magazine.
That day Jang appeared with big bags under his eyes because of a tight album recording schedule, but he livened up the atmosphere of the set by greeting all the staff members there with a bright smile.
Amid the penetrating cold, he flaunted down the streets in a thin shirt to express a refreshing spring day in the pictorial. With the cameras shut off, the biting weather forced him to crouch, but as soon as the cameras start rolling, he became immersed in the character for the spring pictorial. That’s why he received honorable mentions by all the staff and fans who gathered like clouds around the set.
Photographer Jo Seon Hee delivered her feelings about working together with Asia’s Prince Jang Keun Suk by saying, “I have focused on featuring Jang’s energetic spirit. It was too cold even to press the camera shutter, but I was deeply moved by his professional attitude of immersing himself into the work. I felt all the more keenly the reason why he climbed up to where he is standing now.”
When Jang showed up, the traffic for miles around the set was blocked. Regardless of genders and ages, all the hangers-on around the set from elderly men and women to students on their way home from school congregated to watch the star in the flesh.
Jang’s pictorial for the first issue of @star1 will hit the shops on March 21.
