What the hell is this? I made a decision long ago to avoid Jang Geun Seok’s singing career, or rapping career, or clubbing career, or whatever the heck career he wants in entertainment aside from acting. But this new atrocity dropped on my lap and I couldn’t swerve fast enough to avoid it. With him choosing the somnambulant Love Rain as his last drama in two years, his acting isn’t getting a work out either. I can pinpoint Jang Geun Seok’s increasingly eccentricity (which is really much closer to his real life personality than the kid actor that grew up before our eyes) to when he left his agency and formed his own management company Tree J. That is always a hit or miss proposition, it can either be super successful and lucrative, roping in other tops celebs (like Keyeast founded by Bae Yong Joon), or it can be a launching pad for an actor to self-manage a career without any guidance or filter. If Jang Geun Seok wanted a career being a kooky singer-entertainer, he’s probably headed in the right direction. Last year he released Lounge H (The First Impressions) with his club hit collaborator DJ Big Brother and it was apparently quite the pan-Asia hit racking up high sales in many Asian countries.
If he wanted to build upon his acting resume from the days when he did Hwang Jin Yi, Itaewon Murder Case, and Beethoven Virus, then he’s really headed in the wrong direction. I suppose my ire comes from just how talented he is as an actor, because if he was a middling actor I wouldn’t like him so much and would be perfectly fine with him toddling off to release terrible music and ape a music career that only makes me cringe when I see it. Or he can actually make good music, such as Lee Jun Ki who has a thriving Hallyu singing career on top of his impressive acting resume. Last night I watched the first teaser MV for Team H’s upcoming new album and the first single “I Just Wanna Have Fun”. Forget Jang Geun Seok’s eye-popping new hair style in this teaser – I am baffled that he has a successful singing career releasing sheer crap music such as this. This passes for club hits these days? Gosh, what has the standards for youth music fallen to? He can be as weird as he wants if his music is good, but listening to this only made me cringe and laugh and then sigh for what he’s giving up in terms of building his acting resume so he can produce stuff like this. Watch and you’ll see what I mean.

LMFAO XD
I honestly have never liked club music MVs. I've never understood it. Club music is just something people dance to, it doesn't a story or deeper meaning that would shape a MV, so why make one? It's just repetitive beats you can dance to.
The only exception I make for this rule is Daft Punk and that's cuz they create whole worlds to accompany their music that is fascinating. It doesn't hurt that their music is really good.
But even worse than making a club music MV, this is BAD club music that has a MV. Whyyyyyyy?!
JGS, bby come back! Come back to doing dramas and movies and picking ones that are challenging and interesting. BBY, please!!!
This isn't just bad music, its brain-dead atrocious music.
"I just wanna have fun" "I just wanna go crazy" - BUH? That passes for lyrics these days? That is supposed to be cool and edgy? *headdesk*
I'd rather dig up old crap like The Thong Song and groove to that. At least "thong, thong, thong, thong, THONG" reveled in how ridiculous it was.
hahaha ...Maybe JGS tries to imitate the techno pop club song produced by an European DJ a few years ago .
The European DJ just had only 1 lyric sentence repeat again and a again throughout his mix club music " Put your hand up, put your hand up to Detroit " ...
Although it was catchy, I found it hilarious like hell ...hehehehe ... I often LOL whenever I hear it until today.
But this European club song was a hit in many countries in Europe though , I'm always amazed about how crapy music sell very well nowadays .
I love trashy dance/pop music, but oof, that is... pretty ludicrously awful, isn't it? If he weren't such a good actor, I might be entertained by the slide into bizarro-land, but I agree with you, Koala: knowing what he's capable of and seeing him do this stuff instead just makes me some combination of disappointed and annoyed.
can i chang the ltyrics to "i just wanna cut your worm hair!!"
huuuh... i hope i can see him in good drama or movie again, he is a good actor
Hahaha!
im scared to watch it!!!!
I just wanna shed tears.
I am so sad to see where JGS is heading. :(.
For such a talented and gifted person, just imagining what he could have been at this particular stage ......is saddening for me who has really enjoyed seeing him in YB and Beethoven virus. What and why it happened to a basically intelligent and good person is mind boggling........worst part being there are no signs of us again seeing it changing for the better.
This particular teaser seem to express the philosophy by which he is living at the moment....outpouring of his inner self ......I want to have fun, I want to......seems to be what he wants or what he perceives the people wanting. Just myself trying to understand him.....a young self made person I still admire for his many achievements.
I am all for being creative, being bold enough to believe in oneself and going for it. But this is not the way. I still believe that he is just doing what he said in one of his interviews that this is the age to try out things and getting away with it. He has spent enough time on this particular path. Here is wishing the comeback of a good actor that he can be.
Please do a good drama soon :)
::quietly files link away to sneak it up on langdon813 sometime. Mwahahahah!::
Ok, that was bad. Not So Ji Sub bad, but just stupid. Do they have raves in Seoul? Because that's the only setting I can see that being used as filler between DJ sets.
ahahahahahaha! I love him for his atrociousness! I used to be a wild wild kid but now somewhat settled down! Too bad he's a public person who will have to receive the wrath of those who disapprove or disagree with what he is doing! I lub this kiddo but yes, I don't care for his music or whatever it is. Patiently waiting for that cute talented actor to be back at what he does best!
the hair reminds me of his Itaewon Murder Case. Yeah, that kid was CraZy!
laugh out loud
i'm dying of laughter this is too funny !
