Shin Hyesung happily greets the fans at his fanmeeting at the Taipei International Convention Center

The main vocalist of top Korean group Shinhwa, Shin Hyesung, held his first Taiwan fanmeeting, “2009 Shin Hyesung Live Music Show” at the Taipei International Convention Center, and spent White Day with more than 3,000 fans. He told the fans in Mandarin, “You’re all really pretty!”, and also turned into a patissier to decorate 6 little cakes for 6 lucky fans, driving the rest of the fans into a jealous frenzy.

All 3,146 tickets were sold out within 38 minutes when tickets went on sale in January, and even though he sang only 5 songs at the event, the fans who bought the NT$3,200 tickets exclaimed, “It’s more than worth the ticket price to see him in person!”

During his performance of ‘Why Did You Call’, the fans even formed the Korean characters for ‘I Love You’ with placards, and he was so touched by the gesture that he went silent for a moment. He ended his first solo performance in Taiwan with ‘Same Thought’.

Shin Hyesung bowls fans over with his sweet words on White Day

Having just been voted the #1 male star that Korean netizens want to receive White Day candies from, Shinhwa member Shin Hyesung spent White Day with more than 3,000 fans at the Taipei International Convention Center. Besides performing his moving ballads, he even praised the Taiwanese fans, “You’re all really pretty!”

Shin Hyesung is the first of the Shinhwa members to hold a solo fanmeeting in Taiwan and a screamfest followed as he made his appearance in a white suit. The MC for the event, DJ Ken, quizzed him on some personal questions and to test the fans’ knowledge of Shin Hyesung. Shin Hyesung, who admits to not being able to dance well, was egged on to perform a cute dance, and eventually ended with a sexy wave, much to the delight of the fans. After that he even confessed, “When I look at myself in the mirror after a shower, I don’t really like my body, it’s too ‘adorable’, I need to bulk up a little more.”

Some lucky fans were selected to go on stage to take photos together with him, with some even getting to hug him, and he also selected 6 fans to receive little cakes that he personally decorated. Nearing the end of the event, he said that he hoped to be able to include Taiwan in this year’s Asia tour. Fellow Shinhwa member Andy will also be making a trip to Taipei on 29 March for a fanmeeting / mini-concert.
