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.

Computex, Asia’s biggest electronics conference, kicked off Monday in Taipei, and as in years past drew industry chieftains from Nvidia Corp.’s Jensen Huang and Qualcomm Inc.’s Cristiano Amon to Young Liu of Foxconn, which makes the bulk of the world’s iPhones and Nvidia servers. But while last year’s event was a celebration of the post-ChatGPT AI boom, executives this time are likely grappling with the uncertainty of the Trump administration’s effort to reshape the global trade order — disrupting a decades-old model for tech manufacturing. This year’s exhibition will of course feature the hardware required to bring artificial intelligence to life.
