Kim Soo-hyun's Manila fan meeting even has limited-view seats sold out.


Kim Soo-hyun, the protagonist of the global hit drama 'Queen of Tears', began his Asian tour last June. The drama has remained in the top 10 of Netflix's global rankings for 15 consecutive weeks, showing its continued popularity even after its conclusion.
Kim Soo-hyun met fans at the Araneta Coliseum in Manila on June 29. As news of the fan meeting being held spread, the heated atmosphere led to tickets being sold out, and thanks to the support of fans, additional seats with limited visibility were sold, making the event truly 'sold out'.
The concert hall was packed with fans from all over the world, including fans from India, and when Kim Soo-hyun took the first bow after finishing the opening song, the fans responded with cheers that seemed to pierce the concert hall. While Kim Soo-hyun was talking, he was so overwhelmed by the smiles of his fans that he shed tears and said, "I think this is the first time I've cried while looking at a smiling face," which moved the fans.
In addition, he recreated Baek Hyun-woo's surprise event that made snow fall in 'Queen of Tears' and received enthusiastic cheers. He looked at each of the fans singing along to his song and handed them a microphone so they could sing together. I had a happy time.
Kim Soo-hyun's Asia tour heads to Taipei on the 6th. Tickets for the Taipei fan meeting were also sold out, and additional limited-view seats were also opened.
