Hallyu star Jang Keun-suk will grace the cover of the August issue of popular Japanese fashion magazine MEN'S NON-NO, making him the first Korean celebrity to do so.
A press release from his agency YTree Media on Tuesday announced that the issue featuring Jang as the first Korean cover model for MEN'S NON-NO will hit stands on August 10, while it will contain various pictures of the actor showing the masculine and childlike sides to him.
"Jang had this strong ability to focus where he would be dancing to his favorite song during break yet immerse himself once the shoot began," an official from MEN'S NON-NO was quoted as saying.
The actor was previously chosen as a cover model for Japan's anan magazine in March which sold over 280,000 copies.
Making his debut as a catalog model at the early age of five, Jang has starred in a number of hit TV series such as SBS' "He Beautiful" and "Marry Me, Mary."
He also made his singing debut in Japan with the release of the single "Let me cry" which had topped Oricon's weekly chart and is currently working on film “You’re My Pet (translated title)” alongside actress Kim Ha-neul.
He is currently on his six-country Asia tour which kicked off in late April where he so far met with fans in Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia and Taiwan. He is scheduled to take the stage at Shanghai.
