Chinese fans show support for You’re Beautiful
by javabeans
Chinese fans have come together to show their support for the You’re Beautiful cast and crew by supplying the 100-plus staffers with a buffet meal, candy, and coffee, which was delivered to the set of A.N.JELL’s fictional management company on November 15.
Korean fan-club members had supplied a buffet lunch earlier this month; this gesture was organized by Jang Geun-seok‘s official Chinese fan club (http://www.keunsukchina.com/). It was attended by Chinese students studying in Korea, as well as some fans who flew to Korea to participate specifically in the event. Jang hasn’t been active in promoting his career in China, but has amassed fans there with his television roles from Nonstop 4, Hwang Jini, and Hong Gil Dong.
The fan fervor for You’re Beautiful is pretty remarkable, particularly in proportion to its viewership ratings; even for a mania drama, the fans have been very outspoken about their support for the trendy romantic-comedy series. It has an especially strong online presence, regularly beating higher-ranked shows like IRIS or Queen Seon-deok in website pageviews and forum discussions.
Jang Geun-seok said, “As a Korean, I felt proud to see fans in China taking an interest in Korean culture, learning the Korean language in China, or even coming all the way here to study Korean. I’m deeply touched to see them come to cheer me on so passionately. Both my overseas and Korean fans are like valuable family members to me. On behalf of them, I’ll work harder to mature and always put forth my best effort.”

I always find it so fascinating that fans can become so involved with their idols in Korea. They're so dedicated, and it must be great for the cast to feel the love.
@1, I love his voice too. I can't put my finger on what it is about it that I like, but I guess it has a deep, echoing quality to it? :)

Wow some passionate fans there.....I like watching this but I don't think I would pay to fly to Korea just to attend a buffet dinner. haha.
(But as I say this there is approximately a hundred people who have camped out near my apartment FOR DAYS to watch the new Twilight movie. Why? I would never know.)

That is intense. I always thought I was a "fan girl" but I don't even compare. I am glad that the You're Beautiful cast is getting the appreciation they deserve though!

Sometimes I envy fans like them who would give so much effort to express their love to their idols.... I wish I've done that when I was younger...

Wow. That's a pretty huge gesture. Hope that the drama team was buoyed by this show of love and encouragement.
On the other hand, is it wrong that I notice just how ridiculously handsome Jang Geun-seok looks? Or is that just me???
*repeats to self* he's younger than me... he's younger than me... he's younger than me... *sigh*

The more I see/hear about this boy, the more I fall deeper for him!!!!
Can't believe he's a year younger than me, too!!! HAHA, I swear he's so much more mature and funnier than most of my older guy friends (well, the ones still in the same decade at least)...
When I rewatch episodes, I'll closely observe his acting and yeah, just stare in awe at his beautiful face and emotion-filled eyes!

Wow! The crew and staff must also really appreciate working with JGS! Free food!!!
Do the fans get to eat with them too???
I too think it's great that fans are able to do these things in Korea and are being appreciated for doing them.
Well, what could we do? I know there was the Soompi project, but could we, YAB fans and JB fans also do something like that? Maybe not food, but flowers?
JB, you have so many regulars here, including myself, could we set up some kind of contribution plan/box to donate towards sending flowers?
I would love to read all about it!
Anyone in?

YAB and IRIS is like idol group and talented singer. While idol groups receive a lot of gifts from fans, it is the talented singer that is taken seriously.

Okay, at this point it just sounds redundant for me to add to all of the Jang Geun suk love out there, but....I LOVE HIS VOICE TOO. It's got this calm, velvety quality to it. I want to hand him a book and make him read aloud to me all day just so I could listen to his voice :)

Love his dark intense eyes and when he smiles and goofs around, just lights up my day. I wonder how the Chinese fans have so much money to buy branded goods for the cast, really thoughtful of them. Darn, wish I could afford that.

@ 15 sukispop
thank you! =D now, it would be even better if i could somehow find a translation for JGS's new song on the YB OST part 2.. called "goodbye." the title and melody and his voice all sound so sad. i bet we're going to be in for a lot of angst soon in the drama.
but god, i love his voice so much. and his face. and his acting. and... mm.. his collarbones :]

It's wonderful to hear this news.
I haven't seen such good drama in a while, where the script, casting and acting are all perfect. I hope the fans' gestures give the cast and crew of YB the confirmation that they are doing an excellent job and to continue working hard!
I hope future Kdramas will be as well made, same goes for other Asian dramas.

November 15, 2009 at 7:09 PM
So the Chinese fans from China flew over to see the casts of YAB? That's amazing. They are really supportive. Is this the first time it happens in Korea? (where fans from all corners - so far, Korean and Chinese fans- show their support their generous gesture of food buffet and gifts?? So touching....
