On the KBS 2TV show "In the Middle of Hallyu, I Am Jang Keun-suk", which aired on January 1st, he was asked if he knew the difference in 'temperature' between Korea and Japan. He replied, "I know better than anyone else. It's true". Jang Keun-suk has become the biggest Hallyu star in Japan ever since the drama "You Are So Beautiful" aired.

"I started working in Japan as well as Korea all of a sudden when the drama became a hit in Japan. Korea and Japan are my two main areas, if I became a top star in both countries then I would've slacked off".

He said he was trying to keep the balance in his popularity in both countries as he was afraid of being the best in one area but the worst in another. "I have no choice but to do my best. I push myself to work harder".

When he was asked what made him different from other stars he answered, "You last longer when you reply to interview questions with the answers the public wants. But from some point on, I didn't like that. Am I a robot?"
