South Korea’s hottest actor Kim Soo Hyun was recently in Singapore for his Asia Tour Fanmeeting. Held at Singapore Expo, the event drew an audience of over 2,800 not just from Singapore but around the region – Hong Kong, Japan and Malaysia just to name a few!
Kim appeared on stage shining (with a flawless glowing complexion to boot!) like a star and was all smiles. The initial fear of a cancellation of the fan meet following the cancelled press conference out of respect to the Sewol ferry sinking tragedy, disappeared.
Kim lightened the mood and joked, “I feel like I’m in a school seeing you guys sitting there… Don’t look so serious, you’re not here to learn!” With that, a roller-coaster of emotions, fun and laughter ensued.

The 26-year-old actor belted out a few ballads on stage, including ‘Dreaming’ (from Dream High o.s.t) and ‘Wearing A Black Skirt’. He might have sounded a tad flat at some parts, but then again, who could find fault with such a charming man? Kim also sang an acoustic rendition of Wonder Girls’ hit song ‘Nobody’ – which won me over.
Cheeky and witty, Kim had a sense of humour that was really unimaginable – beyond the universe. It might be the language barrier between Kim and his non-Korean audience or it could be that his fans were so smitten, they simply lapped up all his words. “For the first time in my life, I’ve lied to my fans here,” he confessed.
When asked what he packs in his travel luggage, Kim cheekily answered, “I don’t bring a lot of luggage around. Maybe around 30 pieces of underwear, that’s all.”
Answering to the question about his kissing scene and how he did it, Kim smiled shyly and said, “It’s all up to your imagination. That’s better than me explaining.” To which the emcee proceeded to ask the audience to close their eyes, pucker up and imagine kissing Kim. “That’s right, thats’ how you kiss!” Kim added.

The heartthrob also had interactions with lucky fans on stage through games and the ‘Wishing Tree’ segment. Through to his promise, he fulfilled all the wishes of the chosen fans which included a photo together, autograph and staring into each other’s eyes for 15 whole seconds! Being his cheeky self again, he teased that he felt cheated as the fans look nothing like the photos he picked.
The fan-meeting took to an emotional turn towards the end. Seeing his fans crying, Kim thanked them for their support and tried to make a speech but ended up teary-eyed as well. He closed the event with a ballad ‘In Front of your House’. Promising to return to Singapore again, Kim said his final goodbyes and disappeared off the stage.
