Actor Choi Jin Hyuk has successfully concluded his 2024 Asia tour.
Choi Jin Hyuk successfully concluded his Asia tour, which took place in 7 cities over approximately 3 months, with the finale being the 2024 Choi Jin Hyuk Fan-Con Tour in Asia ‘Day and Night’ held at CG Art Hall in Seoul on the 15th. Starting with Tokyo, Japan last October, he met local fans in a total of 7 cities including Osaka, Taipei, Manila, Jakarta, Bangkok, and Seoul.
Choi Jin Hyuk, who previously had a thick overseas fan base in Asia with ‘The Heirs’, ‘Gu Family Book’, ‘Fated to Love You’, ‘Devilish Joy’, ’Tunnel’, etc., solidified the box office heat of ‘She‘s Different Day and Night’ through this Asian tour. The final episode of JTBC’s ‘Day and Night Are Different,’, in which Choi Jin-hyuk plays an attractive male lead who freely switches between action, melodrama, and comedy, recorded a viewership rating of 11.7% (Nielsen Korea, based on nationwide households), and in the Netflix Global TOP 10 TV (non-English) category, it ranked in the global rankings for 10 consecutive weeks in 28 countries, gaining global popularity.
In particular, at the Seoul fan meeting, Choi Jin-hyuk set up a request song time corner where he sang songs that fans wanted improvised, and with his close chemistry with MC Lee Guk-joo, he poured out various episodes that cannot be heard anywhere else. He captivated the eyes and ears of fans with his honest conversation and genre-independent setlist. He continued, “I’m so happy to be able to hold a fan meeting in Korea, and I received a lot of comfort and encouragement while doing the Asia tour,” and conveyed his touching feelings along with his extraordinary love for fans, saying, “I’m always grateful.”
Meanwhile, Choi Jin-hyuk plays the role of Dracula in the musical ‘Bloody Love’, which will be performed at the Hanwha Arts Center in Seocho-gu, Seoul until February.
