Lim Ju-hwan to meet with Japanese fans this weekend

Korean actor Lim Ju-hwan will be visiting Tokyo to celebrate the success of his television drama "Tamra, the Island", according to his agency Yedang Entertainment on Friday.

The actor will meet with some 1,600 fans at a promotional event for the show, which has been airing on cable channel Mnet Japan since October 26.

The 27-year-old actor explained that he was "nervous to meet the Japanese fans" because he would be representing everyone who worked so hard on the show. "But I'm honored to be able to express my gratitude in person and will do my best to have a meaningful time with the Japanese fans who have given so much support to 'Tamra'".

Lim made his debut in 2004 in SBS TV series "Magic". He has since appeared in many television dramas including "A Love to Kill" (KBS2, 2005), "General Hospital 2" (MBC, 2008) and the mega-successful "Boys Over Flowers" earlier this year.

He has also appeared in several Korean movies such as "Frozen Flower", "Arang" and "A Millionaire's First Love", which stars Korean actors Hyun Bin and Lee Yeon-hee.

The event will be held at Tokyo's Yamano Hall on Sunday, at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m.
