Singers' special fan service or expansion into a new area is often a great gift to fans. Lim Young-woong prepared an entertainment show featuring daily life, and Kim Ho-joong prepared a cruise trip to meet fans up close. These 'events' are an opportunity for singers to show off their new charms, and for fans to see a different side of their favorite stars.
Kim Ho-joong prepared a 7-day, 6-night cruise for his fans. The Costa Serena, where Kim Ho-joong's cruise trip with fans, 'Aria on a Ship', departed from Pohang on the 5th. The Costa Serena disembarks in Okinawa, Miyakojima, Japan, and Keelung, Taiwan, and travels to the port of call. It is scheduled to return to Busan on the 11th.
Kim Ho-joong's desire to travel with his fans was planned as this cruise trip. Fans responded enthusiastically to the extent that tickets were sold out as soon as they were opened. Kim Ho-joong plans to build memories together through special meetings with fans for 6 nights and 7 days on the cruise. Fans onboard can enjoy a luxurious trip as the cruise is equipped with additional facilities such as a swimming pool, fitness center, and sauna. In addition, Kim Ho-joong's colleagues at the agency, Kim Seon-geun, Young-ki, and Kang Ye-seul, will also present a special stage. For fans who will be disappointed due to ticketing failure, Kim Ho-joong plans to release his travelogue later through SBS MTV and SBS FiL with an entertainment titled 'Kim Ho-joong's Santa Cruz'.
Lim Young-woong, who has recently been absent from broadcasting activities, visited the fans' home with a solo reality show. Through 'My Little Hero', which is being aired on KBS2, Young-woong Lim revealed his usual appearance from preparing for a concert in Los Angeles (LA) to traveling.
Prior to leaving for the United States, she received quick English tutoring from Tyler, an American broadcaster, and opened her dressing room for the first time on a broadcast to take care of her travel carrier. The episode of being asked for an autograph by the captain on the plane brought a small laugh. From the appearance of a professional artist preparing for a performance while adapting to the 16-hour time difference, to the appearance of a straightforward young man in his 30s, Lim Young-woong captured in 'My Little Hero' without hesitation. It was another pleasure for fans to see Lim Young-woong as a young man off stage rather than as a flashy star on stage.
Kim Hee-jae has expanded his spectrum beyond the trot world to the musical world. Kim Hee-jae was cast as the main character in the musical 'Mozart!', which opens on the 15th. 'Mozart!' is a work that portrays Mozart, a genius musician, in an endless conflict between his destiny and his longing for freedom.
Through a magazine specializing in performances, Kim Hee-jae said, "Emotions that change with each number must be revealed. I compared Mozart to my life while facing the dramatic fragments of life." I'm doing my best all day long to do it," he said, hinting at the preparation process for the work.
Lim Young-woong, Kim Ho-joong, and Kim Hee-jae, who try to show their fans a new side of themselves in their own way, such as preparing special events and expanding into new areas beyond their main business. The reason why they continue to be loved by fans is that they make endless efforts such as setting up a place to communicate with fans and developing themselves.
