Jang Geun Seok Confirms He Picked a 2016 K-drama as His Next Project

I’m seeing a more grounded and centered Jang Geun Seok in this return to K-ent, as both a singer in being the MC for idol competition show Produce 101 and as an actor who will soon be back on television in a K-drama. In a radio interview last week, Jang Geun Seok confirmed that he’s already selected his acting project and it will be a K-drama. He didn’t say anything more about the K-drama in question so many are cast already there are only a few still in casting stage, such as the God of Noodles drama or Moonlight Drawn by Stars or Rail in the Underground, among a handful out there. I hope he doesn’t pick a manhwa or webtoon adaptation and break out of the pretty boy trendy image, instead he should do a serious drama and win finicky domestic audiences back with a solid performance in a good story. He’s continues to look happier and healthier in these media stills, and I’m getting a good feeling that 2016 might turn out to be a great year for this talented young man.

  • I wish he would change his hairstyle, and grow out of his pretty boy image already! Show us the acting prowess he showed in Beethoven's Virus and Iljaemae....

  • I really like him he is very talented!! I agree with Koala I believe he needs to pick a drama character that really shows his potential and I would love to see him with Park Shin Hye again.

    • Not that they are not great together BUT for their growth as actor/actress they do need to work with others and explore new challenging projects......different from what they have already done. Else that's a death knoll for an artist to become stagnant.

    • Well!!! He's not asking for your support :) his fans are enough to take his journey forward with dignity :) btw if you have no interest in this man.. plz avoid his articles :D

    • Do you think so? I see him as being a confident man who likes to joke and tease with his fans. I must say, he has every reason to be "into himself", but instead he's a generous and compassionate person who has a deep affection for and loyalty to his family, country, and fans.

  • I hope his character in the drama will make him change his hairstyle. He's looking more like an ageing rocker than anything else. The hairstyle and eyeliner are way past their expiry date.

    • He actually would prefer short hair, but his Japanese advisors requested that he let his hair grow long again because Japanese eels didn't recognize him as quickly with short hair.

      • They will get used to it and maybe will like him even more than before.... :)
        I would like to see him with short hair....like in Beethoven virus.

  • I'm waiting for his drama and hope he choose a drama that show his real talent. I heard he further his study, got his master (continue to get his Phd too) and become a sharing professor during his 'break' because of the unnecessary 'scandal'. Good for you Jang Geun Seok.

  • Talking about maturing drama abilities, this makes me wonder whether JGS and MGY are ready for the emotional depth required of a drama like "I Have a Lover". ' Said drama stars the older Kim Hyun Joo and Ji Jin Hee who have acted together about 10 years ago.

  • For those who harped on his long hair, do read the latest interview to TRULY understand why he keeps his hair. hen the time comes, he will do accordingly.
    BTW, majority of his eels love his long hair.

    • For a brief moment, you had me there. I thought he's the modern day Samson. So, the reason is he has been waiting for a role? Wow! All the while, he kept his hair long so that when the drama comes a calling, he can suit any style? I laud him for his dedication. Just makes me wonder why don't the other actors keep their hair long in between dramas?
