According to an article in the Korean publication "The Fact," Jang Geun Suk is not a very considerate camper.
This week the singer and actor went on a camping trip with a group of friends in Gyeonggi Province. The group managed to annoy some other campers by partying noisily late into the night. JGS and his friends played music well after 11 p.m. and had the headlights of their cars on. It was not the peaceful environment that the other campers sought and this led to some complaints.
Jang Geun Suk and his friends barbecued, drank and listened to music. But they were still making noise after the other campers asked them to be quiet so they could sleep. The car headlights also shone into the other campers' tents. Several campers complained when the party continued past 11 p.m. but the party still took a long time to wind down. And some witnesses were quoted in "The Fact" as saying that for a while the party only got louder. By the time the party finally ended, well past 1 a.m., most of the other campers had woken up due to the music and the lights.
If Jang Geun Suk thought he could have a private party in the woods without being recognized, he was mistaken. The other campers recognized him. And if he was not immediately aware that they did, he must have known after one of the campers asked him for an autograph. The actor refused saying that he was enjoying some private time and did not want to be disturbed.
Representatives for Jang Geun Suk's agency, TreeJ Entertainment, released a statement 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."

Jang Geun Suk's most recent drama appearance was in the title role of "Pretty Man." He recently performed at the "A-Nation" music festival in Japan.
What do you think of this incident? Just some friends having fun and it only made the news because Jang Geun Suk is a star? Or do you think that a celebrity should be on his best behavior and extra considerate when he is out in public? Let us know.
