Biography

Jang Keun-Suk, born on August 4, 1987, in Seoul, South Korea, is a South Korean singer and actor. His journey into the entertainment world commenced at the age of five when he was discovered by a talent scout, leading him into a modelling career. By 1997, his acting career took off when he landed a role in the sitcom Selling Happiness. Despite his early start, Jang experienced an international upbringing, spending his teenage years in New Zealand, where he honed his skills in English and Japanese. Throughout the 2000s, he continued to excel in both television and film, participating in various projects such as Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do and Beethoven Virus. Jang's music career officially kicked off with the release of his single “Let Me Cry” in April 2011. His debut in the Japanese music scene was met with immense success, as he clinched the Number 1 spot on the Oricon singles chart and earned the title of Best New Artist at the 26th Japan Gold Disc Awards. In September of the same year, Jang teamed up with Big Brother under the name Team H, releasing the EP The Lounge H Vol.1, which achieved platinum status and garnered further acclaim across China and Southeast Asia. Subsequently, Jang introduced the rock and electronic-infused EP Lounge H exclusively in Japan in March the following year. A few months later, he launched his first full-length Japanese album, Just Crazy (2012), which not only secured the top position on the Oricon chart but also marked a milestone as the first male artist and foreign performer to achieve this feat with a debut album. In the ensuing years, Team H continued to make waves with the release of two more albums, I Just Want to Have Fun (2013) and Driving to the Highway (2014), while Jang pursued his solo endeavours, dropping albums like Nature Boy (2013) and Monochrome (2015). In 2017, Jang unveiled his inaugural full-length album, Voyage, reaching the second position on the Oricon chart. In March/April 2021, Jang unveiled two new singles titled "Star" and "Emotion" from his next Japanese album Blooming, released on March 30, 2022 which debuted at number 7. Later, on August 31, 2022, he unveiled the track “Beautiful,” which went to the third spot on the charts. This track was featured on his subsequent album Day Dream, released on February 14, 2024, peaking at number 10.
