Korean actor Jang Keun-suk proved to be a major Hallyu force as he attracted thousands of fans to his Hong Kong fan meeting over the weekend, according to his agency Tree J. Company on Tuesday.
The actor, who has been visiting various Asian countries since March, met with some 2,000 fans at his fifth fan meeting titled "2010 JANG KEUN SUK Asia Tour in Hong Kong" on June 20, explained Tree J. in a press release.
The actor attended a press conference on Friday, answering questions in English and Chinese and performing the song "What Should I Do" at the request of reporters, and met with some 2,000 screaming fans at an autograph signing session the following day.
The two-hour fan meeting, held Sunday at Hi Tec Star Hall in Kowloon, Hong Kong, opened with a deejaying session and featured a Q&A time with fans as well as a True/False quiz show.
Jang, 23, has appeared in several notable television dramas and films including "Beethoven Virus" (MBC, 2008) and "The Case of Itaewon Homicide" (2009).
He became a phenomenon in Korea and throughout Asia after starring in the hit TV series "He's Beautiful" (SBS, 2009), in which he portrayed an eccentric lead singer of idol group A.N.JELL.
Jang will be taking part in the club festival "South Africa in LOUNGE H," which he organized, at Seoul's Walkerhill Hotel Gayageum Hall later tonight. He will be cheering on the 2010 World Cup soccer match between South Korea and Nigeria, which airs in Korea early tomorrow morning.
