Lee Min Ho’s global tour ends successfully

Actor Lee Min-ho wrapped up his global tour “RE:MINHO” with a last concert at KINTEX in Goyang, northwest of Seoul, on Saturday.

The tour’s title “RE:MINHO” refers to a new start, intended to show Lee’s various new charms, according to his agency.

Lee’s global concerts were held in seven Asian cities in China, Japan, Thailand and Korea, attracting about 50,000 fans in total.

The last concert at KINTEX was broadcast live in about 140 countries around the world on YouTube and Chinese website Sohu, proving the star’s worldwide popularity.
“I am happy to be here with you from the beginning of the year,” the actor greeted his fans.

“I wanted to do what I can, for my fans unchanging love. Every time I stand on the stage, I felt that my fans were like my family,” he explained on the intention of this global tour.

Lee began the concert with “Love Hurts” and performed 12 songs in total. He closed the concert with “Say, Yes.” The actor also showed improvised cute dance moves to meet the fans’ high demands.

The actor’s debut film “Gangnam 1970” will be released on Jan. 21. Starring Lee and actor Kim Rae-won, the upcoming noir film portrays the two men’s friendship, betrayal and lust for money and power around the Gangnam district in the 1970s, during the region’s real estate investment boom.

Lee Min Ho’s New Year’s Concert Records Highest Viewership Rating in China

Actor and singer Lee Min Ho held a New Year’s countdown concert in China on December 31. The concert recorded the highest viewer rating among concurrent New Year’s special broadcasts.

Every New Year’s Eve, the three biggest television networks in China,DragonTV, HNTV, and ZJSTV, host countdown concerts featuring top stars. Lee Min Ho chose to participate in DragonTVs concert after receiving many requests.
During his performance, Lee Min Ho awed the audience with a fresh arrangement of his unreleased song “Will You Be My Last Love” among others.

A source from DragonTV revealed, “After Lee Min Ho made his appearance, viewership rating went up by approximately 1.7 percent, and out of all the countdown concerts in China [we] recorded the highest rating.”

A representative of Lee Min Ho’s management agency Star House Entertainment remarked, “When you consider China’s population of 1.4 billion, even 0.1 percent is staggering. We’ll get a real sense of [the number] when precise viewership rating reports are released next week.”

The concert was also streamed through online and mobile platforms. When Lee Min Ho’s appearance drew near, the number of viewers increased so quickly that there were buffering issues. Immediately after Lee Min Ho’s performance, China’s biggest SNS platform Weibo and other portal sites were plastered with Lee Min Ho’s name, and some playback streaming sites crashed due to traffic overload. In just one day, videos of Lee Min Ho’s performance reached 5 million views.

This is not the first time Lee Min Ho participated in a New Year’s concert in China. Last year, he appeared in CCTV’s end-of-the-year spectacular “Chunwan,” which also recorded the highest viewership rating for its time slot.
