Baby faced Jang Geun Suk wants you to think that he’s cool, but a catchy tune and random shakes here and there aren’t enough to convince anybody. The boy should just stick to what he does best which is acting. Other acts such as his recent Mnet stunt as a drag and his latest CF as a pimp aren’t impressing anyone.
The song “Black Engine” was produced by hit master JYP and is used as a marketing song for a domestic cosmetic brand, Etude’s House.

oohh…thats a no no…im sorry but he sounds like one of those american idol rejects that think they can sing but…cant at all..he should get a day job becuz he cant sing and his acting isnt all that great either..
plus whats the point in watching some dude walk around smiling with a camera in his face??
well he still looks good except his voice =\ not really good at singing
This song is too cool for him. He doesn’t have any flavor. A song like this is supposed to make women think “I want to be with that guy” and men” I want to be that guy”. I don’t feel either. But I guess that is better than him trying to be something he is not.
for 2.5 seconds i thought he looked like g-dragon.
song is okay. i like the camera angles and that’s pretty much it.
This little squirt looks like he’s 13 years old. I didn’t hear any great singing either. All he does in this entire video is primp.
why are you pessimistic towards everything? all of your posts are hateful and bash the celebrities that you write about. i thought this website was for kpop lovers not haters. why are you so condescending? reading your posts is getting really old for me. its the same thing: here is the celebrity, lets write something mean about them, look how clever i am! could you pleeeeease be nicer or at least take a different angle? it would be really refreshing to see.
never heard of him.
@booyoo.
You thought wrong.
i agree he should stick to acting. become a real actor- whatever that means today. his rock song @ the korean film awards had a very weak sound, altho the energy was good since he’s young. without star quality he just can’t be an idol-star.
awww he is so cute :3
XD
Damn you, JYP! Damn your cro-magnon face, damn your laughable wardrobe, but mostly DAMN YOUR IRRESISTABLE BEATS!!! Not every song needs a ton vocal acrobatics – his performance matched the track, I’d say. Though the fashionista boxing shots were kinda left questionable. I guess nothing says “traumatic brain injury” like a furry vest and high-tops…
Yo that boy has a huge forehead.
i think he looks better with his hair down(in the beginning) but his cute peace pose in the mirror was soo adorablee <3
just finished watching the vid and I have to say…
I can’t believe JYP wasted this hot song on this newbie! He should have sold it to Rain.
i agree with booyoo. maybe it’s the new writers, but popseoul seems to be biased against everybody these days. maybe you guys shouldn’t be keeping this blog if you think everyone and everything under the sun in korea sucks.
why is she smelling his armpit
he’s cute…
and i think the song….
okay his voice is not up to par…
but it is still okay for me…
weird videoclip though….
That boy sure is pretty.
The song doesn’t have great vocals but to use great vocals with this song would have been a waste anyway.
the cf is definitely weird and a little over the top [in a bad way], but jang geun suk is still as good looking as ever. the song is catchy and his voice isn’t that bad…it’s actually decent compared to some actors who try to sing.
He’s adorable!…suddenly I’m in need of whatever hair product this CF is selling. Koreans are the best at branded entertainment.
idk abt you, but his got a bad hairstylist .. the only hair style i liked was when he was in the bathroom . it made him look so cute XD . the rest just made him look cheesy .. no offence .. the clip was weird with the random racing .. and yes the song was catchy .. but i’ve heard better songs ..
ads doesnt necessarily mean “”pleasing”"…. if you study marketing….
that’s all ….
he’s cute. I loved him in hwang jini. He’s got a clean image, very boyish and cute.
This song is really catchy ~ although I’m not too fond of the pinkness that is the Etude House. And although he’s kind of weird in the MV he’s not a bad singer – has anyone seem him on Yoon Do Hyun? He wasn’t too bad.
that was such a lame mv
JYP wasted this song on this CF i hope he earned a lot of money for using this song.
JYP should’ve kept him in singing training for about another 10 years…
Captions should be added to that picture. Jang Geun Suk, “Hey smell my arm pits!” Girl, “Smells fresh!”
“…what he does best which is acting”
I’m assuming you have never seen him act huh? ‘does best’ is a bit of a stretch.
He’s adorable, too cute to be cool, looks much better when he just woke up, in the first seconds of the MV..
Don’t push it too hard, you should hold on to what you’ve got.. a cute face and a not so awesome voice.. oh well…life’s tough XD
The random “common girl” in the car race was stupid.
His dance moves (or whatever you call it) look gay.
The song is catchy but way too repetitive.
I’ll wait for something better..
Oh, I forgot.. his smirk is cheesy..
JYP totally ruined a cute faced little boy DX
Um booyoo, are you talking to me? If you are, then you did indeed think wrong. Not all my posts are derogatory. I post lots of compliments, but only to those who I see fit for them. Like my boy, Rain. He can do no wrong in my eyes. And remember, I post whatever I want, because I can. I am perfectly in the right to post my opinion. And this little dude is a joke.
I feel kind of funny now ’cause I don’t know if you’ve really directed that towards me. I may have said all that for nothing. Anyway, I am a definite K-pop lover for sure. I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on their merchandise supporting the entertainers that I love. This particular guy though isn’t getting a single red cent from me. But I do understand your point, albeit you are out of bounds yourself considering this is where people are free to post their opinions. BUT, like you, I am not a fan of trolls either.
Since he’s such a terrible actor, I’m thinking maybe it’s probably not what he does best. What he does best is probably… sitting. or, I dunno, sleeping. or something.
The CF is selling clothes, that’s why he’s “primping” throughout the entire video.
thefunpolice: totally agree, this track is purely a club song, not meant to showcase amazing vocal abilities. how does JYP do it, haha.
he definitely looks different than his role in Hong Gil DOng o.O
he is not a very good singer but his vocals dont sound THAT terrible…mainly because they are overshadowed by the beat… damn you JYP and your ability to create catchy tunes while using mediocre/bad singing..i shake my fist at you!! lol
I’ll just block out Jang Guen Suk’s voice and concentrate on the beat,lol.
It was painful to watch. The song wasn’t bad, but I couldn’t stand watching him prance around thinking he looks good. He doesn’t at all!
The part when he’s racing the girl, why didn’t he hook up with her? He just kept on driving…
One last thing, what’s up with the arm flailing when he’s in the club? His headband looks ridiculous too! Who does he think he is, a diva?
nope definitely not directed towards you. i meant the posters of the website.
For an ad promoting some type of cosmetic product, I actually think it’s rather good. The song alone I probably wouldn’t listen to… but when watching the MV I’m impressed they’d create a whole song just to promote something and make an MV for it. The approach of doing so just seems interesting to me, and I don’t see much bad in it either as far as most other commecercials and advertisements go….
I’ve never see or heard of this guy Jang Geun Suk before so, having no previous impressions of him to affect my opinion, I think he looked all right. Why be so hard on him?
LOL at the picture..
Interesting way they filmed the parts when it’s just him. I also like him a lot better when he smiles! But he’s not the best singer, is he.
i’m honestly baffled by the poularity of grown men who look like 5 year olds.
Good music, terible VOICE, and one narcis actor. Yeah, you should stick acting [or not, with narcis act?!?!?]
hmmm the all those stuff is cheesy…
that doesnt impressed me at all
on the pics he seems wear a cake of makeup, eww!
It’s not that bad…if ya like it then u like it…
i tink it’s tolerable actually…^____^
MINI JO IN SUNG.
period.
LAME.
I like the song and he is cute.
i change my mind i luv this song!!!
no……just….no…..
hahahah this was werid. he looks like g-dragon but idk smthing abt him is jus too tacky.
