Just like that, tickets to Lee Joon-Gi's fan meeting event are gone. It is said that the tickets to the highly anticipated Seoul fan meeting went on sale on Nov. 18, Friday and was sold out in less than a minute.
Just 52 seconds after the public sale, it appeared that all 1,400 available seats for the Seoul event had been snapped up, The Kpop Herald reported. The Hallyu star is scheduled to kick off his Asian fan meeting tour at the Gyedang Hall, Sangmyung University on Dec. 3.
The "Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo" actor's tremendous fame was further demonstrated when fans urged his agency, Namoo Actors, to hold another fan-meeting. There has yet to be any announcement about another Seoul fan-meeting. Nonetheless, it has already been confirmed Lee will hold a similar meet-and-greet event in Japan and Taiwan, respectively.
Aside from the Asian fan meeting tour, Lee will also make his Hollywood debut in the upcoming "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" film. He plays Umbrella Corporation's Commander Lee who holds a third-degree black belt in Taekwondo.
Though Lee's screen time will only be around five to ten minutes long, he is expected to go head-to-head against the heroine, Alice (Milla Jovovich). In February, he detailed how he landed a special role in the sci-fi film, revealing director Paul W. S. Anderson muted a footage of him acting and examined his faces and emotions before deciding to hire him.
"It's just a special appearance," Lee told Singles magazine, as cited by Han Cinema. "I think of it as a good experience. I have been acting for more than 10 years now, but there's still a lot I want to show everyone. I haven't met my true character yet. I hope to in the future."
