*** I can’t deny the fact that Jang Ki Yong is one of the most talented actors in the industry. He oozes charm and shines bright in everything he does. With his  stunning visuals, it’s impossible not to get swooned with it. He started his career in modeling. It’s not surprising because he got that captivating visual and he's tall. Enough to walk the runway. I saw a video where he sang and raps. Yes, he can rap! Amazing isn’t it? Who would have thought that this man could also pull off rapping? He had a flawless rendition of Big Bang’s T.O.P’s DOOM DADA. Jang Ki Yong is not only good at rapping but also good at singing. He proved how well he is good in singing when he lent his sweet voice in one of the OSTs of his drama, Come and Hug Me. Paradise Tree is the title of the song. Jangki has a very beautiful and soothing voice.

Of course, most of all, I love  Jang Ki Yong as an actor. He is so good at acting and he proved it with his various roles. The 1st drama where I saw his acting was Come and Hug Me. Then he stole my heart again in The Atypical Family. It is such a great drama and I surely love it.

*** Jang Ki Yong finished his “Beautiful Day” Asia Fanmeeting tour with Manila as the final stop on September 28 at the Samsung Hall at SM Aura.  His FM started in Seoul and brought him to Japan, Thailand and Taiwan before the Philippines. It’s been five years since Jang Ki Yong came back to the Philippines  at the same venue in 2019. Jang Ki Yong 1st song was “Thought of You.” He said, "“Kamusta kayo? (How are you?) I love the Philippines. I’ve been waiting for this day to come. It’s been five years. Manila is actually the last stop for my fan meeting tour and I kinda have these mixed emotions during the rehearsal as well." The fan meeting showed a different side of Jang Ki Yong. He said he wants to try to perform in plays and musicals.  Jang Ki Yong said he really wants to go to the Philippines for a vacation and asked the audience for suggestions. Some of the fans suggested Amanpulo, Siquijor and Siargao. In the “Beautiful Hero” segment,  Jang Ki Yong reenacted four scenes in the drama “The Atypical Family” with fans whose names were selected through a raffle draw. In the “K-pop Challenge,” Jang Ki Yong and a fan danced to NCT 127’s “Walk.” He also read messages sent by fans during the “Beautiful Memories” segment. Fans presented him with a cake with the message “Beautiful Day in Manila”. As he wrapped up the Manila fan meeting, Jang Ki Yong said, “I want to do it again tomorrow. That’s how I really enjoyed it. You know the time is very short and here on stage, I really, really enjoyed spending time with my fans. It’s been five years since I last visited the Philippines. When I first entered the door [of the venue], I kinda have this thought that this is really the energy of the Philippines. It really was a success.” Jang Ki Yong said he is currently shooting the drama “Pigpen,” which is set for release next year.
