Actor-rapper So Ji-sub successfully completed his first fan meeting event in Taiwan with some 6,000 local fans gathered in the country’s capital to see the Korean heartthrob, the star agency 51K said on Tuesday. 

Dubbed “SOJISUB 1st Asia Tour: Let’s Have Fun in Taiwan,” the promotional event was held in the Taipei International Convention Center in Taipei, Taiwan, from June 28 to 29.

The event followed the release of So’s hip-hop EP “18 Years,” his first release since his “6 p.m. ... Ground” EP in January 2013.

The Korean celebrity started off the event by greeting the fans in Chinese, wowing the crowd. He also carried out a lucky-draw event, presenting bracelets and earrings to the winners.

After the two-hour fan meeting ended, the actor spent another one and half hours bidding his fans farewell by giving every single fan a high five.

So is scheduled to throw his next Asian fan meeting event in the Japanese cities of Kobe on July 18 and Yokohama on July 21. His Asia tour schedule also includes a visit to Thailand on July 26. In August, the actor also will head to Shanghai, Hong Kong and Singapore.
