Park Bo Gum Gives A 'Surreal Experience' To Fans In Singapore
Hallyu star Park Bo Gum thrilled more than 3,000 fans and gave them memories meant to last for a lifetime during his recent fan meeting in Singapore. The "Moonlight Drawn By Clouds" star concluded his Asian Fan Meet Tour at The Star Theatre in Singapore Saturday where 3,500 fans took home mementos and fond memories from the three-hour event.
According to The Straits Times, 29-year-old civil servant Shirley Ong celebrated what she considered the best birthday of her life and a "surreal experience" when the 23-year-old actor Park Bo Gum sang her a birthday song, wrote her a birthday card and even gave her his pullover sweater. "I was immensely surprised," said the fan, whose actual birthday is still in April. "I wondered if I heard wrongly at first, but later I realised he was talking about me. It was really touching that he wrote me a personalised card."
Park Bo Gum also prepared the Korean dish yubuchobap and fed another lucky fan, 28-year-old Priscilla Chan, in front of the screaming audience. "I couldn't say anything on stage. My heart was thumping really fast," Chan told The New Paper afterwards.
As if being fed by the trending actor, Park Bo Gum, wasn't enough, Chan also received the autographed apron that he was wearing. "I'm going to preserve this apron," said Chan. "I hesitated to buy the tickets at first but now I got selected out of over 3,000 people. I feel like one of the luckiest girls in the world."
Park's label mate and the "Descendants of the Sun" star Song Joong Ki also joined him for the sold-out fan meeting. Song Joong Ki appeared as surprise guest during Park Bo Gum's fan meetings in Thailand and Taiwan.
"Song Joong Ki made waves in the first half of 2016 and then it was Park Bo Gum's turn in the second half of the year. It is rare to have an opportunity like this to see two top actors at one meet," a 24-year-old fan named Joyce Tay told ST. Stay tuned to Korea Portal for more news and updates about Park Bo Gum.
