Lee Minwoo - who has just completed his Shanghai concerts on 2/3 May - shared his regrets at not being able to visit the sights of Shanghai with reporters in an interview on 4 May. He said he was like "Old Boy" being trapped in the hotel.
Shinhwa members enjoy massive popularity in China, and thus fans are very passionate when it comes to showing support. As the fans have been on his tail the moment he reached Shanghai, Lee Minwoo wasn't able to step out for any sightseeing at all. This is the reason why he compared himself to the lead character in "Old Boy", being trapped in a hotel.
When Minwoo arrived on 1 May at Hong Qiao Airport, fans had already been hot on his trail. Just at the airport alone, more than 1,000 fans turned up to welcome him. He said, "There were many fans who turned up, but the Chinese police did not let me exit through the usual channel due to safety considerations, so I wasn't able to step out to greet the fans."
Fans were also shadowing Minwoo at the hotel and at the concert venue. When the concert ended on 3 May, he wanted to have a post-concert celebration at a nearby venue, but it didn't happen as fans had already surrounded the venue by then. Fans also rented cars and vans to follow his van, not letting up for a moment. When he arrived at the airport on 4 May to depart for Seoul, more than 300 fans turned up to see him off.
Minwoo said, "Chinese fans are amazing, they seem to know my whereabouts all the time. Perhaps they want to show their love and support, thus they behave as such. I can understand that, but everytime I come here for a concert I'm unable to explore the culture here, so that's a pity."
In addition, he will be holding his Back To M concert in Seoul on 30th and 31st May, adding that "it will be a concert that's very appropriate for springtime, and a concert that will get you in the mood for a cocktail."
