Jang Keun Suk

Even today, during the high-speed Internet, when it seems that no one and nothing can hide from search engine queries, many things remain out of the ordinary. As the founder of the cyberpunk genre, William Gibson, said: 

For this reason, such names as Kim Woo Bin, Song Seung Hun, Jang Geun Suk and others remain a mystery to the European and American viewers, while everyone knows their names in their homeland, and the scope of their fields of activity is sometimes simply amazing.

Jang Geun Suk, South Korean actor, director, model and singer, was born in Danyang County, Chungcheongbuk-do Province. It happened on September 26, 1987. Chan was the only child of his parents.

When the boy was five years old, his family was going to move to another area of ​​the city, so they decided to sell their old house.

Everything turned out well - Geun Sok became a young model.
