Jang Keun-suk Shines with Warmth and Charisma on 'Gugidong Friends'

Jang Keun-suk, known for owning a building worth approximately 130 billion won, showcased his deep empathy and down-to-earth personality, bringing warmth to Friday nights.

On the October 24th episode of tvN's 'Gugidong Friends', Jang Keun-suk displayed his unique affection and consideration for his 'Dongsa-chin' (close friends).

Jang Keun-suk demonstrated his thoughtfulness by pre-selecting a restaurant for his friends to enjoy a nourishing meal. Even when he had to leave for an afternoon schedule, he left his credit card behind, embodying the role of a 'generous friend who buys meals', warming the hearts of many.

His sincerity shone through his friends' confessions. Kyung Soo-jin admitted, "I really like Keun-suk. He was a cool celebrity, but now he's a cool man." Jang Do-yeon also expressed that she learned a lot from his attitude of always doing his best. Jang Keun-suk was visibly moved by the heartfelt compliments from his friends.

Meanwhile, Jang Keun-suk's morning routine was a source of amusement. He meticulously took 11 supplements from the start of the day and humorously deduced the culprit of a 'Dongsa-chin' rule violation from a lone dish left in the sink.

Jang Keun-suk also took an active role in helping Choi Daniel with his tanning transformation. He carefully applied tanning cream from Choi's face to his body, and despite the chilly reactions from female friends, he confidently stated, "I think it accentuates your masculinity." However, when Choi Daniel eventually gave up on tanning, Jang expressed his disappointment as a 'pro-tanning supporter'.

Jang Keun-suk's 14-year experience living alone was also evident. He quickly scanned a meal menu missing soup and skillfully prepared an egg soup in just one minute. He even completed the dishwashing promptly, earning praise from cleaning fairy Lee Da-hee. During the meal, Jang reflected warmly on cohabitation, saying, "Living together is like this. We are accumulating meaningful pieces of memory because we are together."

Through his unique wit, meticulous leadership, and genuine humanity, Jang Keun-suk continues to prove his irreplaceable presence. His sincere demeanor wins over viewers every Friday at 8:35 PM on tvN's 'Gugidong Friends'.

Jang Keun-suk's band, CHIMIRO, successfully concluded their performances starting with '2026 THE CHIMIRO IN SEOUL' on the 11th and in Osaka, Japan on the 16th. They are set to continue with a concert in Tokyo on May 21st.
