Jang Keun-suk Defends Slavish Portrayal of Men in 'You're My Pet'
In the film, a highly-educated single woman in her 30s played by Kim Ha-neul lives with a younger dancer played by Jang Keun-suk. In exchange for accommodation and food, the young dancer calls the woman "master" and loyally obeys her. The movie is based on a Japanese comic book that was hugely popular in Japan and Korea.
Upon hearing the news, Jang, 24, said, "Why wouldn't you be able to be like a pet if the woman is older, more capable, and the whole dinner menu changes when you please her?"
He said that men shouldn't take umbrage due to feelings of wounded pride. "You aren't always charming if you stay proud all the time," he said.
However, the film can hardly be said to have broad, cross-spectrum appeal. As a romantic comedy that lacks traces of both, it is expected to gain a following among Jang's fans but may struggle to find mainstream success.
"When I first read the script, I thought it was perfect for me," said Jang, who sings, dances and courts favor throughout the flick. "The slick and playful character matched my personality so much that I didn't have to think too hard about it."
Next year marks Jang's 20th year in showbiz. He debuted at the age of five as a clothes model.
"My childhood was quite different from other people, but I would do it all over again if I was given the choice," he said. "I was able to travel to many places and meet so many interesting people because of my job as an actor. I love the fact that I can try my hand at a number of different roles and challenges."
Jang is being touted as one of the newer Korean Wave stars following the huge success of the TV drama "You're Beautiful" in Japan and China, but he said his growing popularity does not interfere with his normal life at home.
"I freely walk around the streets and I go to university like a normal student," he said "If you stay at home all the time, how can you stay in touch with the world and gain the kind of experience you need in order to expand your horizons as an actor?"
"You need to be able to meet and communicate with people and observe how they interact, which can be invaluable to improving yourself as an actor. I think part of my job is to constantly study how people live," he added.
Showing his limitless ambition, he described his future goals as first conquering Asia and then becoming a global star.
"This is the way I approach things," he said. "If I were all talk and no action, I wouldn't be able to respect myself. So I set myself high goals and try my hardest to reinvent myself in that way. I never take anything for granted, whether it is my singing and recording or acting ability, because I want to be a household name in Asia and the rest of the world."

love rain
The upcoming drama series Love Rain in which Jang Keun Suk and SNSD’s Yoona star completed the contracts of its broadcasting rights with Japanese broadcasters even before the series start to air in Korea.
According to its production company, Love Rain has attracted so much attention from Japan and other overseas broadcasting markets even as it was in the pre-project planning phase thanks to the brilliant cast including Jang Keun Suk and Yoona. Recently, they concluded a contract of Love Rain’s broadcasting rights with Japan’s Pony Canyon.
The company added, “Love Rain has received lots of calls from Japanese broadcasters who take a profound interest in airing the series on their networks. That’s why its broadcasting rights were all sold out now even before start airing in Korea. I know that it was the biggest deal among Korean drama series exported to overseas markets.”
Besides Japan, Love Rain has recently had a high profile in overseas markets, so it is expected to mark a new record among Korean drama series entering the overseas markets.
The production company said, “It might be natural that Love Rain enjoys such a high level of attention like this considering that this is the combination of the proven director Yoon Seok Ho and top Hallyu stars, Jang Keun Suk and SNSD’s Yoona. To reciprocate the high expectations placed on Love Rain, we are doing our best to create the best piece of work.”
Director Yoon Seok Ho is firmly determined to show the quintessence of melodrama loaded with picturesque cinematography and sensibility which are his trade mark. He has produced a series of hit drama series including “Autumn Tale” and “Winter Sonata.”

JKS talked about his co-actress—what are YoonA, Moon Geun Young, Kim Ha Neul?
Kim Ha Neul = 'Beautiful woman. A senior I respect, a cool lady. In one word she is my master!'
To be honest, there is nothing need to say. When shooting You are my pet, one of the reasons that I can keep insist to the end is that there is Kim Ha Neul sister to be my strong backing.
YoonA = 'Pretty woman. A hard-working young girl. Girls' Generation!'
When shooting drama with her I saw a lot and felt a lot. She is enthusiastic, and has a good willing-to- learn attitude. What’s more, now I know Girls' Generation’ s telephone number, it s bit medal in show biz. Kaka~
Moon Geun Young = 'Scary. She's child-like, smart and cool. A traveler!'
(We) Share many things in common, such as working as child stars. Being so much alike so sometimes (I) feel a bit scared. And I feel that she will guard (protect) me. (Laughs)
When we attended the entertainment show (2005, Ya Shin Man Man) together before we were asked what were our dreams. (Moon) Geun Young said, “want to be a traveler.” So when I look at her I will think of “traveler”.
