Kang Ki-young Delights Fans at Fourth Annual Tokyo Fan Meeting

Korean actor Kang Ki-young recently held a special fan meeting with his Japanese fans for the fourth consecutive year.

On October 7th, Kang hosted the '2025 Kang Ki-young Fan Meeting in TOKYO' at the Yomiuri Otemachi Hall in Tokyo, marking his fourth annual gathering with fans in Japan since 2022.

Kang opened the event by performing the song 'Reach You' in Japanese, signaling the start of the fan meeting. He greeted the audience by saying, “I studied Japanese because I wanted to communicate more with my fans.”

During the talk segment, Kang revisited his career from his debut drama 'High School King of Savvy' to his latest work 'Mary Kills People,' sharing behind-the-scenes stories and character anecdotes. He also engaged with the audience by guessing the top five roles in a fan-voted 'Favorite Role No.1' poll.

The fan meeting featured a variety of special performances exclusive to the event. Kang delivered a lively performance of RIIZE's 'Get A Guitar' and continued the fun with games, mission events, and a photo session. He also performed Kim Feel's 'A Place to Lean On' with emotional depth, leaving a lasting impression. For the finale, he surprised the audience by appearing among them while singing Safety Zone's 'Goodbye Sadness.'

After sharing laughter and joy with his fans, Kang expressed, “Every time I come to Japan, I am eager to hold a fan meeting. I feel excited and nervous because I want to see you all. Although nervousness can be uncomfortable, the anticipation before a fan meeting is a special, happy kind of nervousness for me.”

He continued, “I didn’t start as a well-known actor, so having a 'fan meeting' still feels like a dream. I will continue to work hard to ensure this dream doesn’t end. I captured all of you in my eyes today. I hope you take home good memories, and I will endure another year with today's memories. Thank you always.”

Meanwhile, Kang Ki-young is currently busy filming his upcoming movie 'H-521' (working title).
