5 ways Lee Jun Hyuk disarmed his Filipino fans at his 'Let Me In' fan meeting in Manila
From his "City Hunter" days to his recent hit drama "Love Scout," this fan meeting was a truly rewarding experience for his fans.
1. Lee Jun Hyuk connected with his Filipino fans
Fans were thrilled when he greeted them with 'Kumusta po kayo? Ako si Lee Jun Hyuk,' upon entering the stage.
According to the South Korean Oppa, this is his second time visiting the Philippines. He was first in the country for the 2023 Asia Artist Awards.
When asked if he had a chance to see anything beautiful upon arriving here in the country, Lee Jun Hyuk said while looking at the fans, 'Yes. I guess this is the most beautiful view that I've seen right now. Looking at you guys, I feel so much happy and I think this is the most beautiful view ever.'
2. Lee Jun Hyuk gave the ultimate fan service
Lee Jun Hyuk was not shy about giving away handshakes and hugs while re-enacting scenes from "Love Scout," where he played the perfect secretary Yoo Eunho to CEO Kang Ji Yoon (Han Ji Min).
In one of the re-enactments, Lee Jun Hyuk did not only shield the fan from the sun (or harsh light in the venue) but even playfully carried her, drawing screams of excitement from the crowd.
3. He was playful with the fans
Of course there were games and Lee Jun Hyuk made sure fans would win! When they failed the mini chair stacking game on the first try, he made sure that the time limit will be extended to one minute! During the pingpong ball game, he signed some of the balls and threw them towards the enthusiastic fans. How can you not love him?
4. Lee Jun Hyuk was an angel
Where other actors would've shied away due to strict management rules, Lee Jun Hyuk gave in to the request of several fans to have a selca (selfie) with him.
During the segment where Lee Jun Hyuk read messages from his fans, he called on those who requested for a selfie onstage and gamely posed with them, giving his fans a memory of a lifetime.
5. Lee Jun Hyuk may be a star but he's still humble
There's no denying that Lee Jun Hyuk is very good looking and has gained a lot of accolades but during the fan meeting, there are times when he appeared shy when receiving praises, saying 'I really don't know how to handle these compliments. My mom has to see this.' He was also humble when he was praised for being able to do scenes in one take because he can memorize everything.
Lee Jun Hyuk's Let Me In fan meeting will make its next stops in Taipei, Taiwan on July 6, and in Seoul, South Korea on July 12. — LA, GMA Integrated News

PH, Japan mark 69 years of unbreakable bond

Nowadays, the two countries' partnership is stronger than ever—spanning culture, trade, people-to-people ties, development, and now on security cooperation. This deepening connection was commemorated in Osaka, Japan, during the 69th anniversary of the Philippines-Japan Friendship Day.

Ano 'yung ginagawa natin at ano naman ang pwede nating ibahagi sa kanila pagdating sa lakas natin sa mga ganung klaseng sakuna,' the head of the Philippine Consulate General in Osaka explained. (This is what we do when we visit the governors of provinces in Japan. We find out their best practices that we can learn when it comes to response to tsunamis, storms, landslides, and earthquakes. What are we doing and what can we in turn impart to them when it comes to disaster response?)
