Kusanagi is the most likable of all members of SMAP, with a gentle personality and positive outlook. In addition, he is famous for being one few Japanese idols who are proficient in the Korean language.
Background
Kusanagi made several long visits to South Korea during 2003, taking auditions and appearing on variety shows and in commersials. At this time, he released a Korean language CD in Korea and Japan.
Following this, he hosted his own variety show Chonan Gang ãƒãƒ§ãƒŠãƒ³ãƒ»ã‚«ãƒ³ in 2004 with Korean guests and theme. Chonan Gang is also his Korean artist name, and the direct Korean translation of his name. It is written 초난강 in Hangul.
He held the leading role in the movie, Yomigaeri 黄泉ãŒãˆã‚Š (January 18, 2003; a Japan public presentation) hit. Moreover, his Korean language Japan produced movie Hotel Venus ホテルビーナス (March 6, 2004 Japan public presentation) was sent to the Moscow International Film Festival on June 25, 2004.
Although his place as a member of SMAP was not conspicuous in the beginning, he held first place in the Johnny's Entertainment's section by the ranking list of millionaires in 2003 following the positive performance of a variety of the productions he starred in. In addition, riding on the Hanryu boom of Korean popular culture following the unprecedented success of Winter Sonata in Japan, Kusanagi has eclipsed every other member of SMAP in popularity, except perhaps from the ever-popular Takuya Kimura.
Kusanagi loves jeans, and he was chosen as the best jeanist for five years till 2003, and achieved induction into the Hall of Fame.
