Hallyu star Lee Min Ho had to cancel his fan event in China due to unexpectedly large amount of people swarmed to the scene.
On April 3rd, according to Lee Min Ho’s agency, Starhaus Entertainment, “On the afternoon of April 2nd, Lee Min Ho was planning to attend the opening ceremony of the brand Semir in X’ian, China. However, due to an overflow of people, the event got cancelled.”
Semir is a popular Chinese clothing brand that has over 6,000 stores all over the country. In light of the new store that was being opened, Lee Min Ho, who is the official model for the brand, was supposed to celebrate the opening with an event.
Huge crowds of people started to camp out from the night before the event to see Lee Min Ho. From the day before the event, about 5,000 people had filled up the square in front of the shop.
The employees of the store were trapped inside by the crowd of people and could not go outside. 100 extra staff members and bodyguards and 300 Public Security Officers were dispatched to the scene, but they were no match for the sea of Chinese fans.
Lee Min Ho was only able to tell his fans hastily in the filming video, “I’m upset that I had to leave without even getting to see everyone. I promise there will be a next time.”
Lee Min Ho tried his best to give something back to his fans and gave out 300 signatures in two hours.
