After 10 days of filming and preparing for “Battleship Island,” Song Joong-ki takes a break from his busy schedule this week to shoot another commercial on Tuesday. Then on Thursday, he would attend the Hite Beer opening event at Sincheon, Seoul and then hold on Saturday, June 16, “The Day We Meet Again” fan meet in Shanghai.
To be held at the Shanghai Indoor Stadium, which has a capacity of 10,000 for concerts, the last of the “Descendants of the Sun” actor’s China fan meets was originally scheduled on June 5 but postponed two days before the event. He would have Korean singer Kim Jong-Kook as special guest on Saturday.
If the 30-year-old Hallyu star is so enthusiastic in attending these fan meets, besides wanting to make his followers in China and other parts of Asia happy, it is also because he is financially blessed from these events. AllKpop reported that for the China, including Hong Kong and Taiwan, fan meets he held the past few weeks, Song Joong-ki earned around 3.4 billion won, or about $3 million.
However, the actor is also known for sharing his blessings. For the Thailand fan meet on May 7, he donated all the proceeds to an unnamed charity. For the Shanghai fan meet, part of the ticket sales would be donated to the victims of the Sichuan earthquake, Blossom Entertainment, the actor’s agency, announced last week.
Meanwhile, Song Joong-ki’s latest commercial for the Doota Duty Free was released on Sunday.
