Korean Wave star Bae Yong-joon to hold fan meetings in Tokyo

Bae Yong-joon emerged as one of Japan’s most sought-after celebrities since his TV drama “Winter Sonata” hit the Japanese airwaves in April 2004.

Bae became one of the first big stars of the Hallyu (“Korean Wave,” explosive popularity of Korean pop culture especially in Asia).

“Yonsama,” his Japanese nickname, was even chosen as the most popular word in Japan in 2004.

After all these years, the craze for him is still palpable in Japan and come this September he is to meet some approximately 50,000 fans at the Tokyo Dome, the largest stadium in the city.  

On Sept. 29, he will promote an animated version of his megahit TV drama "Winter Sonata" and will hold another fan meeting on Sept. 30 to promote his essay on the beauty of Korea.

The two events will be broadcast live at multiplex cinemas across Japan and about 5,000 fans are expected to watch them live on screen.

"Winter Sonata" heroine Choi Ji-woo, widely known as Jiwoo-hime in Japan, will join Bae for the promotion of the animation.

Bae’s last fan meeting in Japan was in June last year, when he promoted his TV series appearance in "The Story of the First King’s Four Gods."
