Lee Min-ho, a 'Hallyu star' who has maintained his status as a beloved Korean actor around the world for 11 years, held a fan meeting prepared after 8 years, proving his presence as a global star.
On the 8th, Lee Min-ho held the Asia fan meeting tour '2025 LEE MINHO ASIA FANMEETING TOUR 'MINHOVERSE' IN SEOUL' at Olympic Hall in Seoul. This fan meeting was the first event held after about 8 years since 2017, attracting the attention of fans worldwide, known as 'Minos' (Lee Min-ho's fan club).
Lee Min-ho sweetly opened the fan meeting by singing 'Like Before.' After expressing his gratitude to the fans who have patiently waited for him for a long time, he noted, "As you have given me your precious time, I will strive to create many good memories that will remain for a long time," earning loud cheers from global fans.
The fan meeting name 'MINHOVERSE' is a compound of Lee Min-ho's name 'MINHO' and the word for universe 'UNIVERSE,' meaning 'Lee Min-ho's world and universe.' According to Lee Min-ho's desire to create a special space where he can swim with fans, the fan meeting was decorated with corners that satiate fans' desires from start to finish, known as 'omniscient Minos perspective' sections.
To engage with the fans who attended the performance, various events were prepared in the lobby of the venue, including photo booths and gifts, creating a warm atmosphere through active communication with fans from the beginning.
Departing to share memories in the unfinished 'MINHOVERSE' cosmic space, time was also dedicated to exploring Lee Min-ho in various aspects. From his personal daily life and current status to the vast filmography of Lee Min-ho, fans could gain insights into his candid thoughts. A corner utilizing 'ChatGPT,' which combined AI and the fan meeting, added a delightful touch by exploring Lee Min-ho's past, present, and future.
Team play and mini-games, both of which were ideas contributed by Lee Min-ho to ensure fans enjoy the event together, were enough to elevate the enthusiasm of the fan meeting. Various communication events, such as character immersion talks from his grants and unofficial character ranking talks, made the time at the fan meeting 'fly by' and received great responses.
This fan meeting featured well-prepared segments ranging from songs to quizzes and talks, making the 8-year gap seem insignificant. In particular, the live performance of 'Without you,' which Lee Min-ho sang after 12 years, stirred the emotions of the fans, and during the 'Stalker' stage, where he transformed into a rocker, he engaged with fans and stirred their hearts further, elevating the atmosphere of the scene. In the subsequent 'Be My Last Love' performance, Lee Min-ho made eye contact with each fan sitting in the audience while greeting them in response to the touching event prepared by the fans.
Commemorating the fan meeting with a group photo together with fans, Lee Min-ho expressed, "I feel that the biggest driving force in my life and the meanings I experience come from you all," and said, "Because you are here, I feel like I am growing into a greater person. I am always grateful, love you all, wish you happiness, and hope we can continue to be together 'like now.'" After a brief encounter, he provided an encore stage with 'Always,' wrapping up the touching time with fans by taking care of each fan even after the meeting ended.
Lee Min-ho, who reaffirmed his status as the 'king of fan communication' with this fan meeting after 8 years, announced the release of his next project, the movie 'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint,' set for July, appealing for much attention and anticipation.
'MINHOVERSE,' which showcased the charm of a 'hexagonal all-rounder' in Seoul, marked the successful start of the fan meeting tour and is set to continue to 7 cities in Asia, including Bangkok, Macau, Taipei, Jakarta, Manila, and Tokyo.
