Singer and an actor Jang Keun-suk will endorse Korean cosmetics brand Nature Republic in Japan for a year, according to his agency Tree J. Company on Wednesday.

Tree J. Company explained through its press release today that Jang has signed a one-year contract with Nature Republic which is soon set to enter the Japanese market.

“We chose Jang as a main model for his healthy and innocent look that suits the brand image, and also for his high popularity as Hallyu star since the success of his 2009-drama 'He’s Beautiful'," an official of Nature Republic was quoted as saying in the statement.

“I’m delighted and honored to become one of the main models for Nature Republic. Becoming a cosmetics model in Japan is as exciting as releasing my first single album in the country,” said Jang who finished shooting a poster and video for the brand late last month.

The company is also considering holding a variety of major promotional events to endorse the brand including a fan meeting.

Jang is currently one of the hottest Hallyu stars in Japan who most recently has been promoting his big screen remake of a film based on Japanese manga "きみはペット" (You’re My Pet)” and is also set to release his debut single in Japan on April 27.

He is also busy preparing for his upcoming Asia tour that will cover Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and other countries.
