Jo In-sung back from the army and fans rejoice

sassychef — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 12:36:04 +0000

…and another celebrity completes his army duty and returns to the eagerly waiting arms of his adoring fans.

That man being Jo In-sung of the much acclaimed What happened in Bali with Ha Ji-won (the drama that Yoon Kye-sang lost many a night’s sleep over…hehe), who completed his duties this past May. Jo In-sung wasted no time returning to the spotlight and has scheduled fan meetings in Seoul and Tokyo, which he dubs as a “reunion” with his fans.

The first stop of his tour began in Seoul on the 31st of July, and he was greeted with a warm welcome by 600 of his loyal fans. Stepping up to the mike as his own MC, he presided over the event that marked his first meet and greet since returning to the public eye. The man also won brownie points by serenading the audience, which left the ladies swooning in their seats. (What woman can resist a man’s serenade?)

Han Hyo-joo’s first solo fanmeeting

javabeans — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 22:51:16 +0000

On-the-rise actress Han Hyo-joo held her very first solo fanmeeting over the weekend, which took place in Seoul and was called “2 Hours 22 Minutes with Han Hyo-joo.” As is the case with most of these dealios, the fanmeeting was meant to double as birthday party, though a late one: Han turned 24 (by Western reckoning) on February 22 — hence the event’s 2:22 motif — while the meeting was held on March 26.

The Dong Yi star acted as her own MC and DJ, manning the radio booth to play music for her attendees, who made up a relatively small crowd of 250. Han’s was sent congratulatory messages by some of her previous co-stars, which included Brilliant Legacy’s Lee Seung-gi, Bae Soo-bin, and Moon Chae-won, as well as Dong Yi’s Ji Jin-hee, Lee So-yeon, and Park Ha-sun. One co-star who made it out in person as a special guest was Lee Kwang-soo, who acted with her in Dong Yi (and will soon be seen in City Hunter).

Shin Mina holds her first ever fanmeeting

javabeans — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 19:23:23 +0000

It’s hard to believe that someone as high-profile and well-known as Shin Mina has never held a fanmeeting before — even if it usually is the men who get all the big fan events — but it’s true. Ten years after her debut, Shin is just now holding her first fanmeeting, which is no doubt spurred largely by her renewed popularity after starring in this year’s hit fantasy romantic-comedy My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho.

Shin has ten films and five dramas to her resumé — which include projects like Devil, Go Go 70s, The Naked Kitchen, and A Love to Kill — so she’s already established herself over the past decade. Plus she has all those CFs to her name. But Gumiho did introduce her to a new kind of popularity and earned her much love for her adorable portrayal of an otherworldly heroine.

The fanmeeting will feature all the usual activities, which naturally includes a performance by the star; she has sung on several soundtracks before, including Gumiho, as well as with rock band Loveholics. The event takes place this Saturday, the 11th, at Seoul’s Sogang University.

Jung Il-woo’s birthday fanmeeting

javabeans — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 22:00:25 +0000

Gah, so adorable. Jung Il-woo (Return of Iljimae) celebrated his 23rd birthday with fans and two of his buddies, Kim Bum and Lee Min-ho. (Did they all go get haircuts together, or what?)

Jung and Lee Min-ho have been best buds for years now, but I was a little surprised to see Kim Bum there. Not in a bad way, of course. Such a gathering of my favorite pretty boy actors has me at a loss where to look first.

Jo Hyun-jae begins comeback activities

javabeans — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 21:50:56 +0000

We may be losing a bunch of stars to the dreaded army duty, but at least we have some coming back: Jo Hyun-jae has completed his service and is ready to get back to work. He will be holding fanmeetings in Tokyo and Osaka on August 21 and 22, followed by events in Hong Kong and Macau on the 28th and 29th. These will be his first official activities after his release from the army earlier this summer.

Even before Jo’s discharge, he had been receiving requests from his Japanese fans for a fanmeeting, and the event currently has 3,000 people signed up to attend. More requests from his overseas fanbase led to the Hong Kong and Macau dates, as apparently his last drama series, Three Dads, One Mom, was a popular hit there. (Personally, I thought the drama was cute but silly. I think the actors were better than the material and will be interested to see what they pick next.)

Jo has been receiving numerous drama and film offers upon his return to civilian life, but he hasn’t yet decided which will be his comeback vehicle. Now that it looks like he’s ready to dive back into his acting career, perhaps we won’t have long to wait.

Jo enlisted for military service in August 2008 and was discharged on June 19 (pictured below).

Now, what about JAE HEE??

Jung Kyung-ho meets his Japanese fans

javabeans — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 16:00:32 +0000

Actor Jung Kyung-ho held his first-ever fanmeeting last weekend in Seoul, and followed that a week later with a fanmeeting in Tokyo. The event, held with an audience of 500, was part of promotional activities for his drama series Ja Myung Go that spanned two days, August 7 and 8.

The fanmeeting was held on the latter day at Tokyo’s IMA Hall and included a paht-bing-soo making session (bing-soo is a shaved ice dessert, and the paht version uses sweet red beans), which Jung shared with attendees. As Jung turns 27 on August 30, he also received birthday congratulations.

In typical fanmeeting fashion, Jung performed a song; he sang a selection from his 2004 drama I’m Sorry, I Love You called “소중한 사람” (My Precious Person), which you can listen to below. (It was originally posted in this Smile recap.)

Jung Kyung-ho holds first-ever fanmeeting

javabeans — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 12:30:09 +0000

Actor Jung Kyung-ho (Smile, Ja Myung Go) is holding the first fanmeeting of his career this weekend, which is also an early birthday party (he turns 27 on August 31, and the event occurs on the 1st). It’ll take place on Sunday afternoon at the SeongAm Art Center in Kangnam, Seoul.

Jung has been acting since 2004, but his newfound popularity mostly comes from the comic family drama Smile opposite Lee Min-jung last year. His management company, N.O.A Entertainment, explained that ever since that drama, his fans have been requesting fanmeetings.

Jung, who been preparing for the event for the past month, said, “I thank all my fans, who always treat me with sincere affection. I’ve wanted to get a little closer with them through an event like this, and I’m very glad to get this opportunity, thanks to my fans. I want to have the best time with them, and I’m extremely excited about it.”

Go Hyun-jung holds first-ever fanmeeting

javabeans — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 18:13:41 +0000

Twenty-one years after making her acting debut, Go Hyun-jung held her very first fanmeeting on June 13. The event was held at the CGV Art Hall in Times Square in Seoul’s Youngdeungpo neighborhood, with a group of 500 attendees.

Although her What’s Up Fox co-star Chun Jung-myung had initially been planned as a special guest, he was unable to come due to his work schedule, and instead two other former co-stars came to fill that role: Ha Jung-woo, who acted with Go in the police drama HIT, and Jung Woong-in, who is currently appearing in Coffee House and acted with Go in Queen Seon-deok.
