Gong Yoo, a 38-year-old actor from South Korea, has swept Asia with leading roles in hit movie Train to Busan and TV drama Guardian: the Lonely and Great God. Gong is having a fan meeting at New Taipei City’s Xinzhuang Stadium tomorrow. He is visiting Taiwan for the first time to thank fans for their support all these years.
For Gong’s first overseas fan meeting this time, the 5,500 tickets were priced from NT$2,500 to as high as NT$5,500. Management SOOP, Gong’s management agency, announced that all the tickets sold out in a few minutes, showing that Gong has regained his position as an Asian “male god” — the Chinese term for “prince charming”.
Gong’s TV drama is scheduled to air in June in Taiwan on STAR Chinese Channel. The drama is so popular in Asia that after he presented the Body Shop’s white musk perfume to the leading actress as a gift in the show, sales of the product surged.

Her face was red — not from blushing, but from the “mala” spice and the heat of the room. Her blond hair clumped to her face like strands of fine spaghetti. Her carefully applied makeup now streaked. “This isn’t what I expected,” she said softly, forcing a smile. All around them, Kevin’s friends were laughing, shouting, and tossing ingredients into the broth. The air smelled of chili oil and garlic.
