Jang Geun Suk Stirs Up Trouble at Public Camping Site

[theemii.livejournal.com]

Recently, Jang Geun Suk’s misbehavior at a public camping site was reported. On August 16, Jang Geun Suk and his group of friends went on a camping trip to Gyeonggi Province. However, the way they behaved on this trip brought on a lot of public criticism. According to other campers that were present that day, the group created a lot of ruckus with loud music and partying that lasted throughout the night.

A camper that was near the group, Mr. Kim, revealed in an interview, “Jang Geun Suk and his group of friends received a lot of complaints from other campers that were in their vicinity due to their late night partying. Turning off the lights at 11 p.m. is basic etiquette among campers, but they didn’t seem to respect that etiquette. Rather, they had the headlights of their cars on and music blaring, which disturbed the peaceful quiet of the camping site.”

According to Mr. Kim, Jang Geun Suk and his group of friends, who all seemed to be around their 20s, took a spot deeper into the woods. Regardless, because he is such a star, many in the vicinity recognized him. The public opinion is that since he had realized that many of the other campers had noticed who he was, he should have taken even more care in his behavior.

After arriving, the group soon behaved like the site was their own personal camping ground. Their barbecue party lasted into the night past 1 a.m., everyone enjoying their drinks and music. As their drinking party continued, their voices got louder and louder to the point where a fellow camper woke up and complained, asking them to “please stop and go to bed.” Eventually the party was broken up but at this point too many of the other camping families had woken to the ruckus.


The loudness of the party wasn’t the only factor that caused the other campers to complain. One of Jang Geun Suk’s friends had decided to turn on the headlights of one of Jang Geun Suk’s cars, and these headlights had been directed at other campers’ tents. One by one each of the camping families said something to the group, asking them to stop, but despite their numerous efforts, the group’s party didn’t seem to end. An additional complaint by the families was that some of the male members of the group had taken their shirts off and were wandering around the camp site, making some of the families uncomfortable, since many of them had children present with them as well.

According to Mr. Kim, “At the time most of the campers at the site knew that Jang Geun Suk was camping there as well. One of the ladies had gone to ask Jang Geun Suk for a photo but she came back empty-handed because he had refused, saying that it was his private life. I’m wondering why Jang Geun Suk wasn’t careful with his behavior when he was obviously aware that many of the campers had recognized him. I, too, had gone camping with my family to have a time of rehabilitation and bonding. However, this opportunity had gone to waste because of Jang Geun Suk and his friends. I was fond of him as a Hallyu star but through his incident I’ve become disappointed.”

Jang Geun Suk’s management agency released a statement on this matter, saying, “Jang Geun Suk had gone camping with his friends as a summer vacation trip. He hadn’t seen them in a long time so he had unintentionally caused some trouble at the site out of excitement for a long-awaited break. He had apologized on site after receiving the complaints but we apologize for not taking care as a well-known public figure.”

Some pictures of the camping site were released, which you can view here.

Meanwhile, Jang Geun Suk had recently returned to Korea after completing a performance at the “A-Nation” music festival on August 15.

Jang Geun Suk went camping with his friends on the 16th and received complaints from other campers for playing loud music until the early morning, drinking, and talking loudly despite camping etiquette normally expecting everyone to quiet down by 11 pm.

1. [+1,483, -22] Time to go to the army? ㅋ

2. [+1,267, -24] Sigh... thinks he's hot stuff because he's a celebrity

3. [+1,048, -51] He's always been like this ㅡㅡ Disrespectful, I really don't know why a kid like this is considered a Hallyu star

4. [+104, -4] There's been plenty of rumors calling him disrespectful, why act so surprised... He became a star at a young age and thinks he's important now but what representative work does he have? His dramas failed, his movies failed... why is he a top star again?

5. [+84, -3] This is nothing new ㅋㅋ I went to see Jang Dong Geun at the 2011 BIFF and some idiot started dancing the shuffle through the crowd and that was Jang Geun Suk. He really just looked like a delinquent when he walked past me.

6. [+71, -2] He's the role model of tryhard elementary school kids

7. [+63, -1] If he wants to scream all night with music on loud, then go have a party in a private room...

8. [+54, -3] He's always been disrespectful to others ㅋㅋㅋ I don't know why he's considered a Hallyu star anyway when he barely has any popular piece of work

1. [+586, -35] Don't go camping if you don't know camping etiquette. Go somewhere with no people if you want to stay up all night drinking and chatting. There are rules on camp sites that you need to follow. Don't act so dumb.

2. [+519, -20] People had already sent in two reports and he was still causing a ruckus and it wasn't until the third report that they finally cleaned up. I wonder if he even apologized to them?

3. [+395, -11] Everyone else is there to enjoy their summer break, why should they have their moment ruined by your fun? Keep a basic sense of respect~

4. [+23, -3] Why is that tryhard trash not apologizing himself and making a staff do it for him?

5. [+16, -6] Dumb and tryhard tsk tsk

6. [+15, -2] If you're going to apologize, don't make your company do it for you. Say it yourself. You caused this mess, you clean it up.

7. [+13, -2] Honestly disappointing that someone of his stature acted in such a manner... Have fun in the army. You surely won't be serving public service, will you? Especially for someone who's healthy enough to be dancing and drinking till the early morning.

8. [+11, -1] It's because he's dumb

It was a docuhebag thing to do but netizens need to find their chill. It's not like he started a forest fire or something

The thing that annoys me most when camping is when peopel leave their trash behind. Gross, rude and also a bear hazard

loooooooooool

I don't think people should jump on him for that (I was expecting way more entering this post, like some rock-n-roll destroying bullshit lol), but at the same time, he should have respected the other campers, or rent a house if he wanted to do all this noise. People are so close to each other in camping sites, there are rules to respect, that's it.

Dude you do not mess with your countrymen with hiking or camping, it's srs business.

When I've gone "adult" camping, we always rented a cabin or were far away from other ppl. IDK what campgrounds are like in SK, but when we used to go to Ohio as a kid, my parents would always request a site not around a lot of kids or other families...they probably should've done the same.

He does give them impression of an asshole though, ngl.

" An additional complaint by the families was that some of the male members of the group had taken their shirts off and were wandering around the camp site, making some of the families uncomfortable, since many of them had children present with them as well."

MALE NIPPLES?! Won't somebody think of the children?!

tbh I wouldn't have thought this was a big deal, since people are shirtless on Korean TV pretty frequently.

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

But those dramas are not watched by kids so I guess that's why they're uncomfortable.

The shirtless compliant made me do a double take as well.

Shirtless men? Indecent~

Well then that's quite rude.

I go camping at least 2-3 times in a year and generally you're suppose to quiet down around 11pm too. Pretty much most people respect that but blasting music would get annoying especially for families with younger kids.

The elementary school kids comment was really funny tbh.
I usually don't find him that attractive but he looks pretty in that pic.
