South Korean star helps Mongolian girl beat cancer. Participation in the show

A source from the Military Forces Administration stated: “In the event that a recruit enters an alternative form of service due to the presence of any illness, he is not enrolled in a regular military training camp, but in our camp for training social workers. Consequently, according to the rules, he is exempt from basic military training.

Jang Geun-suk, who has been classified as a rank 4 soldier due to the discovery of bipolar disorder, will be enrolled in the Military Forces Administration's social worker training camp in Poeun County, North Chungcheongbuk-do, where he will conduct a five-day social worker training course.".

After training, the actor will start working as a social worker.

His agency stated: “Jang Geun Suk was given rank 4 due to his bipolar disorder, which was diagnosed during the medical examination of the Military Forces Administration prior to enlistment. He will begin his duties on July 16. So he plans to work as a social worker for two years.”.

It was recently revealed that actor Jang Geun Suk is helping a Mongolian girl cure ovarian cancer in South Korea.

The Tree J Company reported that Jang Geun Suk paid for the patient's travel expenses and medical treatment after he found out that the girl's family did not have the necessary funds for her daughter's treatment. The actor believes that it would be better for the girl to be treated in the best clinics in Korea.

The girl, who is currently in South Korea, will receive treatment in that country until May. “I was desperate after I was diagnosed and had my first surgery in Mongolia. Jang Geun Suk's support helped me recover,” the girl says.

Jang Geun Suk responded, “I know cancer treatment is difficult, but don’t lose hope.”

Since 2009, the actor has helped more than 100 children in need of treatment through the aid organization World Vision.

The "Hallyu" star is scheduled to meet his fans in the cities of Tokyo, Fukuoka and Nagoya (Japan) next month.

Hallyu is a neologism that literally means “flow of Korea” and reflects the global increase in popularity of South Korean culture since the 1990s. It is driven by the spread of K-drama and K-pop in South and Southeast Asia. Gradually, the Korean wave has evolved from a regional to a global phenomenon, promoted through the Internet and social media, and the spread of K-Pop music videos on YouTube.

Jang Geun Suk is a South Korean actor, singer, model and director. He is best known for his role as Hwang Tae Kyung in the Korean drama A.N. Jell: You're beautiful and as Kang In Ho in the movie You Are My Pet.

He was born on September 26, 1987 in Danyang County, Chungcheongbuk-do Province. The only child in the family. He got into the modeling business by chance at the age of 5 (at 6 years old according to Korean age calculation). At that time, the boy's parents were selling the house, and the buyer, who turned out to be an employee of a modeling agency, saw potential in the boy. After working as a model for several years, Jang Geun Suk became a child actor at the age of 10.

In high school, after becoming interested in Japanese pop music performed by Ken Hirai and L'Arc-en-Ciel, Jang Keun-suk undertook to learn Japanese on his own, and after moving to New Zealand, he studied English, which later helped the actor get roles in Japanese film “One Missed Call: Final” (2006) and in the joint American-Korean production “The Case of Itaewon Homicide” (2009). In the second film, the actor had to pronounce almost all the lines in English, which, according to Western critics, he did well. In 2009, he gained independence and created his own production company, Tree J, of which he is the president to this day. The official opening date is 06/12/2009. Since 2012, the actor, due to the increased popularity in China, began to study the Mandarin dialect of the Chinese language. Despite being very busy with touring and performing, Geun Suk received a good education: Seoul DongEuii Primary School, Kwangjang High School, New Zealand Nelson College, Bangsan High School, Hanyang University. He graduated from the latter in February 2014 (the graduation ceremony took place on February 20), receiving a bachelor's degree. In September of the same year, Jang Geun Suk continued his studies at Hanyang University, now in the master's program. In 2012 he celebrated his anniversary - 20 years in cinema and on stage. But now his popularity has subsided significantly, his behavior in public has influenced the fact that many fans have turned their backs on him. It can be said that he receives support only from Japanese fans.

Let's talk about something pleasant - Asian beauties.

I watched a huge amount of Japanese avant-garde and dramas, but the Koreans somehow didn’t insert it. The Japanese have a strong musical base - there is a stunning, frenetic punk, cool avant-garde jazz, the Japanese are the recognized kings of noise, they have a peculiar rock scene, etc., and the Koreans are massively known only for pop - they release stacks of similar ones “ idols”, with much less freedom than idoru in Japan. By the way, for those interested in history, I found a curious series of articles - start from the bottom and go up. The data, of course, is already a bit old (2012), and Korean pop groups do not stay in the tops for long, but the material is interesting.

In addition, if you take Korean dramas, they are extremely sentimental, and the faces of youth kings are excessively round. Therefore, when I need an injection of positive or there is a desire to look at beautiful men, I look at the Japanese. But damn, Jang Geun Suk broke all the schemes! In the right angles and with eyeliner, he is damn handsome:

Fire boy! But first, let's backstory.

There are a lot of beautiful Asian actors and bisen singers, from which the hamstrings of the girls tremble. Each of them is often both an actor and a singer (ballad performance is obligatory), but not everyone has charm. Those. many do not draw the role of an idol, tk. look excellent in some camera positions - and show some kind of flaw in others. Many look very cool, but only due to the make-up. Others are surprisingly beautiful, but do not give the impression of a full-fledged person, something behind the facade, but simply an attractive appearance causes boredom. But from time to time very talented people appear on the assembly line.

The first, long-standing and very strong impression of Asian beauty, partly lasting until now, was the Japanese Shun Oguri, although he can hardly be considered an “idol”. It's especially cool that he doesn't sing, so such a shame with his participation you will not see. This adds coolness points. I saw him in many films, but with the boys we repeatedly reviewed The Ravens. His hero in Miike is such an archetype of an unstoppable hero who needs to become a king, kill Humbaba like Gilgamesh, or defeat everyone in the kingdom simply because it is necessary, otherwise there is no other way. Years passed, but sooner or later I returned to Oguri to find out where else he starred. He combines big pictures and dramas.

Shun Oguri

Types of male beauty vary greatly. There are “masculine” men and there are flower boys, skinny, fragile and beautiful; there is the beauty of the "scientist", there is the beauty of the "swindler". But not a single type of beauty, except for the dual charm of bisenen, is perceived abstractly, there is a legend behind everything, both behind the attractiveness of the “rebel” rocker, and behind the desire to take glasses off a reserved and cold mathematician.

The beauty of a warrior is the beauty of a conqueror, it is aggressive, the beauty of a smart, restrained hero is in his intellect. But the beauty of the bead does not have a legend, in a sense it even denies personality - it is a dream, something that does not exist in the real world. This is the ideal of timeless indestructible beauty, a halo of golden hair near the sly face of Apollo, or the dark locks of an Asian handsome man, making his beauty non-sexual, androgynous, inaccessible. The beauty of the "idol" is a game of perfection that cannot be obtained. Everyone can put anything into his half-smile - intelligence, and the lethality of a ninja, and militancy, and femininity, and deceit, and nobility. Beauty turns into a vessel with dreams, and everyone, looking at a perfect face, chooses something of their own.

Oguri, of course, is not an abstract handsome man, because it is difficult to perceive as a hanger the person who starred in Miike and Sogo Ishii. Every handsome actor in Japan is either canned into schoolboy roles and loses his mojo, or goes into arthouse and action movies to show off the versatility. Many at this stage endure a crushing fail, but the strong emerge.

Ryuhei Matsuda can be considered an excellent example of an ambivalent bead from the old generation - he can be dressed in both a skirt and armor, he will still be a distant strange creature, repulsive and attractive. Ryuuhei Matsuda also had to go through a long period of film maturation, during which he let go of his goatee and starred in horror films. However, Matsuda had a different problem - he was filmed as a symbol of homoeroticism since childhood, starting with Oshima's Taboo, he is the king of this kind of arthouse, so he needed to pump up masculinity. But I hope you understand the idea - you need to play on contrasts.

A couple of years ago, I went into Korean territory and found Lee Min Ho in City Hunter. The drama is glorious, although the tension of the plot about the Korean Navalny is significantly blurred by the love line, which is inhumanly sentimental. The line of his chin killed on the spot:

Frame from “City Hunter”

Lee Min Ho has very regular facial features - a great even nose, attractive lips, attractive dark eyes and a gorgeous voice (colloquial, not in the sense of singing). He, in my opinion, has an almost European appearance of a brown-eyed football player. Nationality discount, it's the same type

However, Lee Min Ho is constantly on the border, beyond which the face becomes round like the moon. It is difficult for Koreans to maintain a sharp line of cheekbones: it is worth relaxing a little - and the line floats. Lee Min Ho is great at playing the lover, but he should try the role of bullies. Because I have not seen him in another role, it is difficult to say whether it will work out. While he, already an adult man, was mothballed in the roles of a schoolboy (the last example is the drama “Heirs”).

Lee Min Ho in the drama "Faith"

The Japanese of the previous generation - for example, both Matsuda, Oguri, other drama stars - faced this problem and solved it by filming with archaic directors in some wild yakuza movie. The last example I can think of is Shota Matsuda, the star of Liar Game, who starred as a frostbitten yakuza who rapes his girlfriend. To get rid of the role of the hero-lover, you need trash, punk and frenzy. But Shota is still much easier to portray the villain, his appearance is more plastic, he is cunning and crafty. But whether Lee Min Ho will succeed in the same trick is not obvious.

Here, see how the transformation looked in the case of Oguri. This is before:

Shun Oguri in "First the boys, then the flowers"

And this is after:

The rest is about the same. Plush toys and eyeliner go down the toilet, and yakuza tattoos cover the body. But Koreans are a different story.

Many of the Korean TV stars sing. I remember this trend from the stars of Hong Kong - where most of the action stars sang old-fashioned pop music. But the Koreans reinforce the roles of heroes-lovers with singing. Almost every famous Korean TV star has an album or two or voices some especially romantic moments of the series with his singing. For example, Lee Min Ho's singing:

He sings weakly, but this singing works after the spectators-girls are enchanted. Then it starts to have context. Here's a better song for you =)

In short, Lee Min Ho looks much cooler than he sings. But if you're a drama star, no one asks you. Moreover, TV stars are touring with live concerts around the country. I liked Lee Min Ho, but I watched everything decent that was filmed with him, and I watch dramas for a bright and hot feeling of love for humanity, which the farther, the less it becomes. So something else was needed.

A couple of weeks ago, I stumbled upon Jang Geun Suk, also a Korean TV star. And he tore off the whole pattern for me. Incredibly handsome guy, just stunning.

The dude is absolutely gorgeous (adjusted for the level of dramas, of course) - both as a sass and as a funny smiling fool ( You're My Pet). I especially love the way he neglects the “great male rejection” of pretty clothes and jewelry in the pop group crossdressing drama You’re Beautiful (A.N.Gell). Redundancy in clothing and love for shiny earrings is characteristic of all idols, especially bright examples can be seen in Japanese rock bands, but to observe Geun Sok's perfectly even chest, covered with a thin shirt with lurex, is just a plague. Great shamelessness! The lines of the collarbones over a green or blue sweater with a deep neckline, not typical of ordinary men, are a real flight.

Generally speaking, from the right angle, he looks much more beautiful than a woman:

When I look at this, worries or everyday thoughts fly out into the pipe at a gigantic speed, leaving only a pale, white face, a line of black hair, a drop of blood from a shiny stud earring in my ear. Clavicles as a work of art, like a boat under the starry sky, in which you swing and drive off into the non-existence of bliss. The Lord created Jang Geun Suk's collarbones to bring goodness to the earth. . And his lips, constantly smeared with gloss and translucent pink lipstick - girls can only dream of having such. Their bend is the way of heavenly bodies, ahahaha.

To put it simply, Jang Geun Suk is attractive, but at the same time changeable. He has an ambiguous appearance that allows him to transform. A little eyeliner - and here is a prince in front of the audience, you remove it - and in front of you is a village fool. You can play with appearance, but it turns actors on. At the same time, the guy sings very emotionally (judging by the biography, he began to do this quite early, inspired by L’Arc-en-Ciel) and has a completely charming and unexpected smile. This especially delivers to A.N.Gell, because. until the middle of the series we don't see him smiling at all - he plays the classic tsundere idol, and then suddenly he smiles - and this is very amazing, because. a smile completely changes the face.

Without eyeliner, he looks like a typical hippie nyash:

But are there many beautiful Asian guys? The fact is that in almost every film where his beauty is used, the effect it has and the way the hero uses it is constantly teased, joked and parodied in every possible way. Beauty is served with irony. For example, the scene where he waits languidly for two hours in the rain to cause the effect required from a woman looks very comical. In this perspective, beauty ceases to choke. I also really like the model proportions of Asian bisen - tall (1.80 and above), flat hips, flat stomach, pale skin. They are like elongated figures of aliens from early science fiction films. This "bar" is perfect.

스타일: “Portrait B&W”

Of course, Jang Geun Suk also sings, but things are much better here than Lee Min Ho. The voice has both a pleasant timbre and sufficient power. If he works for me, then the young chick should be killed on the spot. Normal such posturing in the spirit of early HIM:

Here's a great ballad:

In principle, ballads for Korean dramas are not much different, only the timbre of the performer's voice matters. But everything sounds good here. When the world seems dull, you can look at beautiful Asians - and immediately it becomes cool. Let us thank the Lord for this gift! =D Continued:

2006 Jang Geun Suk is involved in three major film projects at once. One Missed Call: Final Thanks to this film, Jang Geun Suk becomes famous outside of South Korea. The second film project is the historical drama "Hwang Jin-Yi" ("Hwang Jin Yi"), in which the young actor played the role of Kim Yong-ho, the main character's first love. Thanks to this role, he was already accepted as an adult actor. And, finally, the third comedy-fiction series "Alien sam" ("Alien Teacher" - the role of the reptilian Prince Alexander).

2007 Two roles in feature films: "The happy life" ("Happy life") and "The longest 24 months" ("Long 24 months").

Since that time, Geun Sok begins to think about the career of a pop artist.

In 2008, the actor was involved in two music-related film projects at once: the film Doremifasollasido and the classical music drama Beethoven virus (MBC).

The next role in 2009 shows Jang Keun Suk as a versatile actor: he played an American soldier suspected of murder. The script for The Case of Itaewon Homicide was based on real events. The release of the film on the screens caused a wide resonance in the country at the time, provoking the resumption of the investigation into the crime underlying the film.

2009 brought the actor fame not only throughout Asia, but also beyond its borders. At the end of summer, the musical drama A.N.
