Actor and model Jang Geun-suk’s debut single in Japan has reached the top of major online store HMV pre-order rankings, agency Tree J Company announced Saturday.
“Jang Geun-suk Maxi Single” isn’t scheduled for release until Feb. 23 but the “hallyu” (Korean wave) star has garnered anticipation in the neighboring country. The limited edition version snatched the top spot while the single’s regular release took No. 2.
“Jang’s popularity in Japan grew from the airing of the drama ‘You’re Beautiful,’” said a spokesman for the releasing record label Pony Canyon. “And it grew to this level as he toured the entire country last year.”
The 23-year-old actor will return to the island nation Feb. 27, following the single’s release, to host a large-scale show at the convention center Tokyo Big Sight. The hall holds a total of 15,000 seats.
Jang first made his debut on screen in a 1997 sitcom before gaining a known presence through the 2009 SBS drama “You’re Beautiful.” His last role was in KBS’ “Mary Stayed Out All Night.”
