Jang Keun Suk First Overseas Solo Artist to Top Oricon Weekly Chart

 

Jang Keun Suk’s first studio album ‘Just Crazy’ topped Oricon’s weekly chart soon after its release and sold over 88,000 copies in its first week.

It has been 8 years, after Japanese singer Moriyamya Naotaro in May 2004, since a male solo artist’s first album placed first on the Oricon Chart; it is the first time for a male solo artist from overseas to rank number one on the Oricon Chart with a debut album.

 

Not only has Jang Keun Suk’s studio album ‘Just Crazy’ place 1st on Oricon’s daily and weekly chart, but his first single, ‘Let Me Cry,’ which was released in April, placed first on the weekly charts as well.

Jang Keun Suk will begin his Asia tour ‘2012 Asia Tour – THE CRI SHOW 2’ starting in July in Seoul. He plans to tour a total of four countries in Asia including four cities in Japan, China, and Southeast Asia.

Jang Keun-suk found out on Sunday that even the “Prince of Asia,” as he affectionately calls himself, is not immune to the dangers of everyday life. He was involved in a car accident at around 5 a.m. while being transported from one drama set to another by his fatigued manager.

The vehicle carrying Jang crashed into a guardrail lining the street and was slightly damaged. The actor continued immediately to the set of “Love Rain,” and visited the doctor after filming ended for the day, according to his agency. He reportedly suffered from only minor bruising and will continue work without interruption.

Korean actors, always chained to their hectic and grueling work schedules, often forgo medical attention when involved in accidents, to continue their work, especially the filming of dramas that often run on tight deadlines.

On March 26, actress Park Ha-sun from the sitcom “High Kick: Attack of the Short-Legged” was also involved in a car accident but only mentioned it in passing on her Me2Day page.
