Flam Jun 10 2023 8:33 am Just watching legend of monkey king, a chinese drama and at first i was confused because i kinda see familiar face but confused because he was not supposed to be there so i need to check and turned out he is.

savanah Aug 26 2020 6:32 pm Jin rarely acts, but when he does, it's always superb. His eyes and eyebrows know how to express emotions. More movies and dramas for this babe!

Karen Khoo Jan 11 2017 8:52 pm I need a drama or movie comeback from you! I miss you! I love Bandage so much!

pratsU Oct 21 2016 4:09 am His looks are mixture of kim hyun joong and infinite sungjong.......

Prima_Optima Apr 03 2013 7:42 pm when will you come back baby boy? All of your fans are missing you like crazy =)

sheyshey Feb 28 2013 6:45 am his acting is pretty good...

carol1108 Oct 30 2012 8:04 am i wish Jin had move dramas or movies. he's amazing. for the first time i saw him in Gokusen, but, to be honest, i didn't pay attention on Jin or Kame etc. and i didn't care for the cast names. but there was a time when i wanted to watch some movie instead of dramas. and Bandage seemed nice to me, so i watched it. and i fell in love with it. this move is sooooo amazing. it has a deep meaning for me. but i must admit that Jin caught my attention. i thought "hey, i've seen you somewhere...". then i checked his name and saw that he played in Gokusen. i'm a big fan of his since then. he has such an amazing voice. it helps when you can't sleep. it's like a lullaby :) especially "eternal"

angelli venus Oct 22 2012 3:50 am .. he's absolutely amazing! i admire his acting in Gokusen . i love his looks ..

exfan Jul 10 2012 7:33 pm He's a trying hard wannabe. Loooser....

trustno1 Dec 30 2011 11:11 pm I really didn't understand the movie Bandage. :/ someone please explain X)

rley Nov 14 2011 1:49 pm Haha I found something in an article about Jin and I believe it is spot on.

"It is difficult to describe Akanishi Jin with one word. For someone “natural”, he is firm. For someone “free”, he is delicate. Every word seems to be a little off. But as you hear his words, the very attempt of trying to describe him as something is by itself a mistake. Akanishi Jin is Akanishi Jin. He is just simply living as who he is. He’ll make you realize that."

And that is why I'm an eternally loyal subject. :) Jin, I think you just might have my favorite personality in the world. Yeah you take hot and sexy to a whole other level, you can sing and dance amazingly, and your song-writing skills make people want to get married just so they can use Eternal as their wedding song, but I love your personality the absolute most. You might not realize it, but you and your choice to go to America against all odds has been an inspiration to many people. So never change, Jinny, just please always stay as you are. <3

midori-chan Apr 13 2011 5:10 pm JIN OMEDETOUU HE IS aSINGER..the best"""

and his english is very good xD

viola Jan 25 2011 10:54 am Jin sama. I have a wonder..... You know.. about Yukan Club (hopefully you remember..) When all of you tries to solve problem you all said making impossible to possible. Do you think it will be possible for someone to walk on the path journey for several years..and able to acheive the goal?.... Lol.. What the hell I'm saying you would think. I just felt that if anyone knows questions to that answer it would be you. actually...... I wanted the answer from you but I couldn't find official fan site so I couldn't ask. Whenever I want to give up.. Whenever I feel I'm the only one going through the hardship and want to cry I feel that Yukan Club is cheering on for me. Saying there is nothing impossible. When I was in middleschool Yukan Club was exact replica of how I was. I believed in it too about possible until...... It was too hard to make it possible. And I have to fell down in highschool. Anyways. Good luck.

Jner Nov 26 2010 3:22 pm This is New York Concert(Fam Cam).. Jin singing Eternal :]

Elaine Aug 15 2010 2:12 am I miss Bakanishi so much! Even tho I really feel he oughta stay with KAT-TUN, I guess it's good that he wants to go down another new path. We fans will always support Jin, ne!
