Lee Min-ho wraps up multiple fan meetings in Japan

Korean actor Lee Min-ho successfully wrapped up his fan meetings held in Japan last week, according to his agency on Tuesday.

The actor met with some 8,000 fans in Tokyo on November 23 and in Osaka three days later for a total of four fan meetings, Starhaus Entertainment said in a press release.

The event kicked off with a video showing of the television dramas Lee has starred in, including the hit TV series "Boys Over Flowers","Secret Campus", "Mackerel Run" and "Get Up". The last three dramas are set to air in Japan soon.

According to a source, the actor handpicked gifts for his Japanese fans, shook hands with them on stage and answered to their questions. The actor even sang the song "My Everything" for the fans while standing on a moving crane to get closer to the crowd.

"I think meetings like these can only happen because I have fans from places far away," the actor was quoted as saying. "I'm very happy to have had such a wonderful time."

The 22-year-old actor rose stardom instantly after starring in "Boys Over Flowers" earlier this year. The drama co-starred Korean actress Koo Hye-sun and idol group member Kim Hyun-joong of SS501.

Lee is scheduled to hold fan meetings in other Asian countries including Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore.
