Actor Jang Keun-suk seems to be considering shutting down his Twitter account, remarks on it have showed since the weekend.

A comment he wrote on Saturday said, "I've met a lot of people and felt a lot from the world of Twitter which people call the way to communicate with the world but I can't accept the distortion (of the truth) anymore... Hence I will close my Twitter account as of midnight tomorrow... If you really want to play with me, come to my application."

Then after receiving numerous inquiries to why he is going to shut it down, he responded yesterday, "A lot of people have asked... Why I'm quitting Twitter... To not get defeated by malicious online comments... To cheer up... But there's actually a separate real reason for it. I'm always out of battery... Both me and my battery are hungry..."

Then later in the day, he wrote, "They say that your Twitter account doesn't get deleted permanently even if you delete it... And even if I do delete it, someone will impersonate me on Twitter. What to do... Someone tell me what to do..."

As of Monday evening, Jang's Twitter account is still open.

Jang, 24, has legions of fans throughout Asia due to his popularity from 2009 TV series "He's Beautiful" (SBS) but he recently has expressed his dissatisfaction over the actions of some of his more die-hard fans.

Just late last month, he warned them to be careful of what they say and do, particularly regarding his personal life.
