Actor Jang Keun Suk recently expressed gratitude by giving out gifts to the crew of the series Love Rain. 

In the KBS2’s Love Rain, which came to an end on May 29, Jang played the two roles at the same time—Seo In Ha in 1970s and Seo Jun in 2012. 

The actor moved the crew with surprising gifts. On May 30, a source from the series told Starnews “Jang gave out gifts by himself. 

He seemed to feel sorry for the good-bye with the crew. We feel close as we have been together since the shooting started in last year.” “The gift was not too much but moderate, and we could feel his kindness. 

There are hundreds of crew members on the set, but Jang wrote the names of every person on the gifts, which made everyone touched,” the source also added. 

Apart from this surprising gift, Jang previously presented the crew with special meals, gift clothing, and others. 

What’s more, the attractive actor tried hard to give a boost to the set. Jang is to hold an Asian tour titled “2012 Jang Keun Suk Asia Tour-The Cri Show 2,” in July with the kick-off in Seoul. 

The tour will be continuing in four majors cities in Japan—Yokohama, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka and four other cities in Asia.

[News] Jang Geun Suk’s Magic – 5% Ratings to 50 Billion Revenue. 
Cr. - dramahaven.com 

 “The actor who multiplies that value 10 billion times.” Actor Jang Geun Suk has proven his strong power.

On the eve of the grand finale of KBS2 Monday and Tuesday drama “Love Rain” starring by him, he makes the calculator very busy.

Counting only broadcasting rights export fees and advertising sales, the totaled amount exceeded 50 billion South Korean won (about 42.8 million US dollar).

Comparing with national average viewership ratings of 5% (based on AGB Nielson media research), the result rises by 10 billion times. “Love Rain” is the drama starring by Jang Geun Suk who is known as “new Hallyu” and “Star of Asia.” It has received the attention of overseas markets at a very early stage.

The drama is exported to Japan before the broadcast began for about 9 billion South Korean won (about 7.7 million US dollar), setting the highest record domestically for about 4500 million South Korean won per episode (about USD $385000 per episode).

At the same time, the drama is exported to 12 countries including China, Thailand, other Asian countries, United States and some European countries.

It’s speculated that excluding Japan, the per episode price for the export contract signed is about 110 million South Korean won (about USD $94,150).

Thus, with 12 countries and 20 episodes, the amount tallies to 36 billion South Korean won (about 30.82 million US dollar) value of export, plus Japan’s 9 billion South Korean won totaled 45 billion South Korean won (about 38.5 US dollar) sales volume. At the same time, advertising revenue cannot be ignored.

According to an official of AGB Nielson Media Research company in the phone interview with Sports Hankooki, “The ads were completely sold in episode 1 and 2, were sold 90% in episode 3 and 4, and were sold 80% from episode 5 to episode 18.” “Love Rain” is selling each ads at about 13.2 million South Korean won (about USD $11300) for the 28 advertising slots of each episode.

If assuming the ads selling rate for episode 19 and 20 is also 80%, and total number of ads slots is 456, and advertising sales revenue is hitting 6 billion South Korean won (about 5.12 million US dollar).

An official of KBS drama bureau said in the phone interview with Sports Hankooki, “It’s all thanks to Jang Geun Suk and Girls’ Generation member YoonA who are in the center of K-Pop euphoria, only that it’s a pity for the low viewership ratings.” Jang Geun Suk is filming the TV series until May 28th, 2012.

After the end of the drama, he will begin his overseas activities.

The first Japanese album “Just CRAZY” is planned, and the “The Cri Show2″ concert tour is scheduled to begin in July in Japan, China, Taiwan, Thailand and other Asian countries.

As Hana asked, “You really don’t feel anything? For real?” in tears, Jun said, “Don’t bug me and don’t make me be mean to you. Let’s finish here.”
Leaving Hana alone, Jun got in his car. However, he soon came back to her and increased the viewers’ curiosity.
The viewers responded: “Jun has to hide his real feeling and Hana cannot leave him. I cried a lot because of them,” “Jang Keun Suk’s detailed performance was really awesome! I felt like my heart would burst,” “I cried a lot at the scene of Jang Keun Suk hugging Yoona and crying,” “Yoon Hee and In Ha are happy now, but Jun and Hana are unhappy. I feel sad for all of them.”
