On August 22nd, ‘High Cut‘ magazine released their coverage of actor Jang Geun Suk’s special fan meet that was held at a traditional Korean-style home on the 6th.
Jang Geun Suk provided a special opportunity for 100 Japanese fans to experience traditional Korean culture at a furniture museum in Sungbook-dong, Seoul. The international event was sponsored by Audi Korea for their VIP Japanese guests and Jang Geun Suk was a specially invited guest.
The marketing director of Audi Korea explained, “While preparing this event, Audi Japan and their consumers made continuous requests for a fan meet with Jang Geun Suk. We figured that a meeting with one of the most popular Hallyu stars was the best way to teach Korean culture in addition to meeting their requests.”
Fans got to not only hang out with Jang Geun Suk, but they also got a taste of traditional kukak performances put on by the ‘Beautiful Mind‘ performance team. They reportedly cheered and clapped when introduced to traditional dances and games like arirang, gayageum, and the shibaet play.
The hour and 30 minute-long fan meet wrapped up with Jang Geun Suk commenting, “Thank you for coming all the way to Korea like this. I think it was an especially meaningful night to meet all of you in a museum like this.”
The full coverage can be seen through ‘High Cut’ magazine.
