As many You're Beautiful fans know, Jang Geun Suk has been revealing a new side of himself after taking on the role of Hwang Tae Kyung, the cool and charismatic leader of the fictional band A.N.JELL, with his unique hairstyle and an even more unique fashion sense . However, his climb to faux-fame, so to speak, was not an easy one since he had to shed 7 kilograms (which is around 15 pounds) for the role. Check out the before-and-afters below: As you can see, Jang lost a bit of weight in his face and neckline, as well as his arms. It seems Korean netizens, being as attentive and stalkerish as always, have not failed to realize this as well, since they have described him to be a "skeleton-esque minam (good-looking male)," "skull minam" and "bone-deep minam." In response to this insight, Jang has said, "I felt that I needed to lose these 7 kilograms to portray Tae Kyung better. I wasn't the type to enjoy maintaining an overly skinny body, but I've been enjoying wearing loose shirts nowadays. Also, this weight loss was for my role so this was something I had to do as an actor." He also added, "Tae Kyung is a musical guy but he's more of a reason-centric guy rather than an emotion-centric one, and is the type to be more calculating toward his actions. A guy like that is obviously a guy who takes care of his appearance with extra care, so I wanted to portray him like that. And in order to portray the characteristics of such an artist, I lost 7 kilograms for the role." Well, I must admit that Jang's lost some weight, but I don't think he looks manorexic or unhealthy. And he's done such a fantastic job portraying Hwang Tae Kyung, wouldn't you agree? At any rate, you can tune into the season finale of You're Beautiful, which is set to air on Wednesday and Thursday night. (Oh good God, why must it end?!)
