[News] ‘Daebak/Jackpot’ Jang Keun Suk’s efforts for 3 months

[OSEN=Ra Hyo Jin] Historical drama of 24 episodes. Drama break of 2 years. Outstanding juniors and seniors actors. There were several obstacles in front of Jang Keun Suk, the actor who played the main role at ‘Jackpot’. However, the actor who has been 20 years since debuted was different somehow. He overcame all those obstacles through his acting skills and charisma and led the drama great for 3 months.

Jang Keun Suk’s activity until the last episode of SBS ‘Jackpot’ aired on June 14 was outstanding. To his brother Youngjo (a role played by Yeo Jin-goo) who is vigilant because of complex that he was born from lowest class of people family and anxious about the throne obtained with difficulty, Baek Dae-gil tried hard to earn trust. Baek Dae-gil’s pathetic eyes were sorrowful because it was Jang Keun Suk.

Jang Keun Suk acted for variety of characters that we can say it was three characters for one person such as Young-soo who was abandoned after born because he was born in 6 months after pregnant although he was a son of King Sukjong (a role played by Choi Min-soo), a son of gambler Baek Man-geum (a role played by Lee Moon-sik), Gae-ddong and Baek Dae-gil who became an adult by alone. The development of young man who challenge with spirit by believing his ‘luck’ only in the beginning to become a leader who truly cares about public was great enough to touch the viewers.

The ways of treating two fathers, Sukjong and Baek Man-geum were totally different. He was close to Baek Man-geum as if they are friends forever. His affection to only one family, Baek Man-geum was extraordinary. However, he sent missing eyes towards Sukjong while he was in front of him. He supposed to blame Sukjong who kept silence about throwing him away although he knew that he exists, but there was no anger in his eyes while looking at his real father.
There were sparks fly up when he opposed enemy Lee In-jwa (a role played by Jun Kwang-ryul). He just thought Lee In-jwa as an enemy who killed his father, but was waiting for revenge to bring nation’s peace. Along with Baek Dae-gil’s development, the purpose of punishing Lee In-jwa has changed from revenge to great cause. One of the things that made this flow natural is Jang Keun Suk’s acting skill that was not bad compared to King of historical drama Jun Kwang-ryul. At the time when two people stared each other, it was feeling chill as if two tigers in different age facing each other.

‘Bromance’ with Youngjo who is real brother and became the King was something attracted attention from ‘Jackpot’. As friends sometimes, as brothers sometimes and as King and a retainer sometimes, although their position changed instantly, the thing made viewers not confused is two people’s harmony. In addition, among those great actors, Jang Keun Suk’s control of acting strength was the power of drama ‘Jackpot’. The reason to expect actor Jang Keun Suk’s next, Jang Keun Suk proved this again through ‘Jackpot’. /bestsurplus@osen.co.kr

Article-1] ‘Jang Keun Suk Inside’ – From Master Eun-Ho to Dae-Gil [Thumbs Up Jang Keun Suk (1)]
[OSEN] In the movie ‘The Beauty Inside’, it’s a story about a man who becomes a different man everyday he wakes up – his face, age and gender would change. As an actor, isn’t this his profession? Of course, it won’t be like in the movie where his face will change every day but in every acting work, he will come across a very different role. Because of this, the best compliment for an actor is you can’t see his own face but only the one which he is playing.

Debuted as a child actor, Jang Keun Suk has accumulated a lot of acting experience since he was little. He has lived more than half of his life as an actor. From child roles to the weak, sickly pretty boy master, then to the unlucky Dae-Gil. Here, we have compiled the best roles that Jang Keun Suk has come across, this is ‘Jang Keun Suk Inside’.

‘Hwang Jin-I’: Kim Eun-Ho 
The first love of Joseon’s incredible beauty Hwang Jin-I. In 2006’s KBS2 TV drama ‘Hwang Jin-I’, actor Jang Keun Suk played Master Eun-Ho. Within a short time, he has shaken the hearts of the females in front of the TV. Eun-Ho played an innocent young master who became sick yearning for the beautiful Hwang Jin-I (played by Ha Ji-Won) whom he fell in love with at first sight and whom he could not forget. Although his child actor image was very strong before that, after Hwang Jin-I, Jang Keun Suk became the first love for the young girls of the Republic of Korea and successfully transformed as a brilliant adult actor.

‘Hong Gil-Dong’: Lee Chang-Hwi 
After that, the notable role was as Lee Chang-Hwi in the KBS2 TV drama ‘Hong Gil-Dong’ in 2008. Although the background was Joseon historical drama which was similar to Hwang Jin-I but it was a totally different story. The role that Jang Keun Suk played – Lee Chang –Hwi was the son heir of the previous king. It was with difficulties that he survived but he could only live as someone who shouldn’t have been alive. Because he was a tragic prince, Jang Keun Suk had to make it a very sad atmosphere all the time in order to show Chang-Hwi’s intention for revenge. In the drama, he was like someone who walked out from a Manhwa with his dashing looks.

‘Beethoven Virus’: Kang Gun-Woo 
In the MBC TV drama ‘Beethoven Virus’ in the same year, Jang Keun Suk played a genius musician Kang Gun-Woo, a young man who was frank and full of vitality. He had a big change in his looks – his hair was cut very short and wore some facial hair. It was a role with a manly look. Although he didn’t realise his in-born talent, after he met Kang ‘Mae’ (played by Kim Myung-Min) and Du Ru-Mi (played by Lee Ji-Ah), his talents were gradually developed.

‘You’re Beautiful’: Hwang Tae-Kyung 
The SBS TV drama ‘You’re Beautiful’ in 2009 created heatwaves both in and out of the entertainment industry and Hwang Tae-Kyung was one of the roles of his life. As the centre of the most popular band ‘A.N.Jell’, Hwang Tae-Kyung successfully played a classic ‘cold-blooded & proud’ which is currently popular. He understood very well he was full of himself, but he also had a gentle side. The interesting and most notable part in the drama was when he fell in love with Go Min-Nam, he became a cute Hwang Tae-Kyung. Jang Keun Suk successfully played this role which spoke in a unique tone of voice, and received a lot of attention.

‘Jackpot/Royal Gambler’: Baek Dae-Gil
After two years’ absence, Jang Keun Suk returned to the TV screen in the SBS drama ‘Royal Gambler’ in March. He played Baek Dae-gil who inherited royal blood but wasn’t allowed to live. He had a difficult life and ended up as a prince who was the son of a gambler. For this drama, Jang Keun Suk acted in scenes of being buried in mud flats, fell over the cliff, chewed a live snake etc, his acting spirit was burning. He threw away the image of ‘handsome face’ through acting in various scenes of sufferings, perfectly shaken off the fixed image he had before, receiving a lot of good reviews. Continuously changing Jang Keun Suk, what kind of image will he bring us next?

[Article-2] Jang Keun Suk ‘Hard-Carry’, He Can Even Eat a Live Snake [Thumbs Up Jang Keun Suk (2)]

After being absent from the TV screen for more than two years, Jang Keun Suk returned in the SBS drama ‘Jackport/Royal Gambler’. His passionate acting in the drama exceeded imagination. How did he immerse into the role of Dae-gil? We’ll find out.

In the Mon-Tue SBS historical drama ‘Jackport/Royal Gambler’ (scriptwriter Kwon Soon Kai, PD Nam Gun), Jang Keun Suk leads the 24 episodes drama playing Dae-Gil, the son forgotten by his father the king. There are now only two episodes to go. Through his performance in this drama, Jang Keun Suk has received a lot of praises for his passion and maturity in his acting.

Born as the son of the king but had to be given away, Dae-gil was a man with a lot of luck who survived various life-threatening incidents. When he was a baby, he was shot by an arrow and thrown off a cliff and survived. Due to Baek Man-Geum’s protection, he also escaped the trap set by King Suk-Jong.

After he grew up, Dae-gil also came across similar situations. As Dae-gil’s fate, Jang Keun Suk had to experience the most difficult hardships which were unimaginable. From when he first appeared in the drama, he had to run around and kept getting into trouble, leaving the viewers with a deep impression. Later, he was beaten cruelly by his father’s killer, Lee In-Jwa and had his arms and legs broken. Then he fell off the cliff after being stabbed.
Afterwards, he was sold as a slave to a salt farm. He had to endure beatings wrapped in a woven mat and thrown into a richard simmons hole. He was also buried in mud flats up to his neck and even ate the live crabs ‘cluck cluck cluck’ in the mud flats. Finally, he even ate a live snake due to hunger which shocked everyone. This kind of level is the ‘profession limit’, isn’t it?

These acting are not easy for anyone. For Jang Keun Suk, seems he successfully portrayed the perfect Dae-gil was because he was able to put down everything. He burst out the acting abilities he has been accumulating. During filming for these difficult scenes, Jang Keun Suk would make jokes to relieve the nervousness of the production team, creating a relaxing atmosphere at the film sites. Because of Jang Keun Suk’ hard work, the mud flat scene completed successful amidst a happy atmosphere, the snake eating scene was also completed without mishaps. As the lead actor, of course one would do his best in his acting performance, but to be able to show consideration to everyone at the film site, it has to be due to his fine character.

As to Jang Keun Suk’ passionate acting, the director of Royal Gambler, Nam Gun said: “He really is an amazing actor. Although it was very difficult both mentally and physically for him, but whenever he’s at the film site, no matter when, he’s always serious (with work) and showed sparkles in his eyes. He’s very courteous to the other actors and staff, and observed proper manners. He left a big impression on me.”

[Article-3] Jang Keun Suk: There’s Nothing He Can’t Do – A Growing Type Actor [Thumbs Up Jang Keun Suk (3)]
In 1993, the 7 years old Jang Keun Suk debuted as a model for children’s clothing after being persuaded by somebody who knew him. In 1997, he started as an actor in the family drama ‘Happiness for Sale’. In the past 20 years or so, even though Jang Keun Suk has been working as an actor, but his capabilities are not limited to acting. His singing is good, he’s also good at show hosting (MC). He’s been liked by everyone as a ‘multi-talented artist’.

In 2001, Jang Keun Suk started hosting (VJ) work in SBS’ ‘Inkigayo’ with his splendid speech skills and brilliant explosiveness. From 2004, he was a DJ in SBS Power FM’s ‘Jang Keun Suk’s Young Street’. Later in 2007, he was co-MC with Kim Heechul in ‘Inkigayo’. Not only that, he also appeared as MC in various concerts and celebratory events, attracting notice from people.

The show that can most confirm his unique MC abilities is the recently very hot Mnet show ‘Produce 101’. ‘Produce 101’ was a show which elected eleven girls to form a girl group and trainees from various entertainment agencies participated in the competition. Jang Keun Suk led the show as a representative.

Spoiler

In ‘Produce 101’, Jang Keun Suk was responsible for relaying the scores to the participants and announcing their rankings. Objective and neutral, he led the show passionately as the MC. He was experienced and natural making the show more dramatic and interesting, and he also did everything just right.

In a live broadcast where anything can happen unexpectedly, the audience could once again confirm how good Jang Keun Suk’ skills were as an MC. As a senior and mentor, he passed on the experiences he has accumulated in the entertainment industry since he was little. Only Jang Keun Suk could have done this.

Jang Keun Suk appeared both in ‘Produce 101’ and SBS’ ‘Royal Gambler’ at the same time but his different performances made people suspect if it was the same person, he suitably showed the value of himself. At the same time he was the calm ‘Rep Jang’, he disregarded his image to play Dae-gil. It showed the reason why people around the world like him.

Apart from that, Jang Keun Suk  is known as a ‘multi-talented artist’, it’s because he possesses special talents in singing, dancing, and concerts planning etc. Through his role in ‘You’re Beautiful’, he can be known as an idol. Not only that, a movie he directed ‘The Great Legacy’ has been chosen to be one of the films to be shown at the ‘20th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival’ in the Fantastic Short Film category.

Jang Keun Suk  is currently a post-graduate student at Hanyang University. He made this movie last year with his fellow students. The story is about a father who’s in a coma and left only a bank passbook and a son who was only interested in his father’s bank passbook.

In 2012, Jang Keun Suk  received a special award at Japan’s ‘Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia’ (SSFF & Asia) with his short film titled ‘Is it Good to Live Like This’. Not only Jang Keun Suk  was the scriptwriter, director, editor, lead actor, he spent 13 hours editing the film himself.

Jang Keun Suk  always does his best with anything new, always challenges with his biggest passion, and also can do it very well. In future, what surprises will he bring to everyone? The sentence ‘Jang Keun Suk can do anything’ suits Jang Keun Suk very well. We are more and more curious of his Fantastic 30s.
