Gong Yoo has joined the list of South Korean celebrities who will meet avid fans in a series of events in the coming months. The "Goblin" actor is slated to start his 2017 fan meeting tour in the second quarter of the year, while plans for a potential charity event are underway.
Gong's popularity further increased after his portrayal of the titular character in the tvN drama "Goblin." With the South Korean actor receiving several offers to hold special fan events in different countries, the Hallyu star will soon embark on a multi-country tour to meet his avid followers.
In an announcement released by the "Train to Busan" star's agency, as obtained by Korea Herald, Management Soop unveiled the initial details of Gong's fan meeting tour. With an itinerary that includes meeting fans in Hong Kong, Taiwan and other countries, the actor is targeting to kick-off the tour in April.
However, the exact location and dates of the upcoming fan events have yet to be disclosed. It appears that Management Soop and event organizers are still ironing out some of the details.
Apart from Gong's fan meeting tour, the South Korean actor is also planning to launch a different kind of event with his avid followers. Recently, Management Soop announced that they are organizing a charity bazaar to be held in South Korea, OSEN reported.
With the goal of raising funds that will benefit less fortunate individuals, the said event will also help to bring Gong closer to his fans, according to Management Soop. The said entertainment firm added that the upcoming charity bazaar is a project that the "Goblin" actor has been wanting to do with the help of his fans.
Similar to the Hallyu star's upcoming fan meeting tour, details of the charity bazaar have yet to be revealed. It seems that preparations for the special event are still in its infancy stage.
