On December 13th, actor Lee Minho participated in the recording for Chinese variety show, ‘Happy Camp‘, drawing a huge league of fans that amazed his colleagues on set.

Normally, three different celebrities guest-star on the 60-minute episode, but for Lee Minho, he was given the full program plus an extra 30 minutes of TV time.

Since the program was filmed near the end of the year, Lee Minho prepared special gifts like lacquerware inlaid with mother-of-pearl from Korea, as well as a paper hanbok New Year’s card to present to the program MC. The actor also prepared traditional Korean wicker scoops for the audience, sharing a part of Korean culture with his Chinese fans.

The local Chinese media reported, “On a normal film day, the show invites 500 guests members free of charge to participate as members of the audience. But for the Lee Minho special, 1,500 fans appeared on site and even sat on the floor to catch a glimpse of Lee Minho.” Reportedly, several hundred more stood outside, and they complained that there weren’t enough tickets to go around. What’s more, illegal tickets were being sold anywhere from $280~800 U.S. dollars.

The ‘Happy Camp’ producer wrote via his Weibo, “I want to thank the staff, the crew, the audience members, and our special guest. I felt victorious today because of Lee Minho. I finally got to see the legendary Lee Minho, who is flawless at every angle. I thought there had been a horrible accident outside, but when I looked out the window, Lee Minho had arrived. Which other actor would cause the staff members here to squeal and make a ruckus?”

‘Happy Camp’ is a variety program that first aired in 1997, covering the culture and local issues of China.
