The Prince of Asia, Jang Keun Suk, has shaken female fans’ hearts with a new music video. On October 18, Jang finally unveiled the music video for “Abracadabra” on YouTube, the song which was released in May.

 “Abracadabra” is a follow-up track to his first official Japanese album Just Crazy that ranked at the top of the Oricon chart as soon as it was released.

It is also his fourth music video following “Let Me Cry,” “Crazy Crazy Crazy,” and “Stay,” which are his debut single, title, and follow-up track to his first official album respectively.

 “Abracadabra” seems to generate a different atmosphere from the delicate, sentimental track, “Stay.” The lyrics seem to put listeners under a spell and its addictive melody stands out.

The video itself reveals Jang’s unique appeal. His exotic appearance and dreamlike expression seem to seduce female fans.

According to his agency, the celebrity showed his passion as he enthusiastically monitored himself in the camera without drying up after shooting a scene in which he sings under a pouring rain. Currently, the star is in the middle of running 2012 Jang Keun Suk Asia Tour “The Cri Show 2.”

On the 6th and the 7th, the singer attracted 115,000 people for the concert held in Fukuoka, Japan.

In addition to his concert to be held in Shenzhen on October 27, he will hold three other concerts at Saitama in Japan on November 26, 27, and 29. After that, he will be wrapping up his big march.
