Jang Keun-Suk (Jang Geun Seok) or JKS, more popularly known as Sukkie, is a Korean actor-singer-model I have come to admire recently. Well, what can I say, he's exceptionally multi-talented and extremely gorgeous. But I admire him more because of his wonderful personality and character.
I first saw him in the drama "Marry Me, Mary!" (Mary Stayed Out All Night), which I gather was the most recent one he did... and I thought he was absolutely amazing in his portrayal! He was also stunning in "You're Beautiful" (He's Beautiful), the other drama he did which gained some sort of cult following. This guy really has extraordinary talent and is very versatile! He owns each and every character he portrays and does so much justice to it!
Before this, I didn't know who he is, or that he is actually pretty famous (not so much in his native Korea, so he says, but in other Asian countries, specially Japan & China). I looked him up to know more about him and surprisingly, there's quite a lot written of him and a tremendous amount of YouTube videos as well. One thing very distinct about Jang Keun Suk is his fashion sense, which perfectly fits the carefree person he is. He seems to have a thousand and one looks, and has a very charismatic smile. He wears his hair long nowadays and it gives him the "pretty boy" appeal and makes him look more mature, as opposed to the short boy-next-door crop he used to have.
Well, he is an incredibly good-looking and charming young lad, with an amazing personality and charisma that just draws people to him. He is cheerful and outspoken; so free-spirited yet so serious and passionate about his craft. And what's most admirable about him is that amidst the success and fame, he still manages to find time for his studies. He goes to Hanyang University and majors in Theater and Film. Not a lot of actors can find that balance between their career and education. Kudos!!!
At such a young age (he's only 24 years old), Jang Keun Suk already has a lot of things going for him ~ he's got numerous movies and TV dramas, various product endorsements and commercials, not to mention several commercial jingles and songs for the Original Soundtrack (OST) albums of his dramas, and a Japanese album under his belt. He's so much fun to watch and listen to, whether in a drama or not. He's got a rich, soothing baritone voice and he sings "from the heart." My favorites among his songs are "My Precious", "Hello, Hello" & "I Will Promise You" (from "Marry Me, Me"), and "Still", "Without Words" & "What Should I Do" (from "You're Beautiful/Handsome"). I've seen clips of his shows and I can say he is one total performer.
It's definitely not surprising that he has become a household name all over Asia and some other parts of the world ~ he has the looks, the talent, the passion, sincerity, and an awesome personality. And he also has a very good sense of humor... he sure knows how to have fun and make fun of himself. Watching his interviews, I believe there's really more to Jang Keun Suk than meets the eye... he is a helluva person ~ the guy's got sense, substance, and character (which, to me, is the most important thing).
He is BEAUTIFUL, literally and figuratively, inside and out. And he seems to be a genuinely unpretentious person which is why you can't help but really love and admire him.
