I still feel like I’m dreaming, I can’t believe such a tall hunky guy has such delicate hands, as soft and warm as a rabbit, no wonder he’s nicknamed “Rabbit”.
At 3pm on 18 Dec，Eric’s Japan fanmeeting “Hello Again” begins! Eric makes his entrance amidst the strains of “Brand New” playing in the background and the cheers of the fans. He says in Japanese, “Hi I’m Eric, glad to see you”. And the fans start chanting “Welcome back Eric” with hand gestures, which they had rehearsed earlier. The chant/gesture ends with the hands forming an overhead heart sign, and Eric is a little surprised to see this but quickly makes an overhead heart sign with his hands too.
Eric is dressed in a dark grey suit, with his hair styled up. He’s tall and thin, with his long arms and legs, and cuts an impeccable figure. His perfectly sculpted face, with his big blakc eyes that seem to pierce right through you, and from the 2nd storey I could feel the intensity from his eyes. Too good-looking!
Next up Eric introduces his upcoming drama as well as his past projects. The MC asks Eric to rearrange photos from his dramas in chronological order within 10 seconds but Eric takes his time and doesn’t complete the task in time. His punishment is to do 5 pull-ups with 4 two-liter water bottles tied to his waist but Eric can only complete 4 pull-ups before admitting with some embarrassment that he can’t go on. The MC is really witty, she keeps complimenting him on his V-shaped figure and even gets the cameraman to do a close-up on the veins on his arms and his muscles. Eric gets a little embarrassed. Too cute…..
Because he didn’t finish 5 pull-ups Eric says he will give a present to one fan to make up for it, and gives a pair of cufflinks that he used in “Bulsae” to a fan who’s about 30. She goes onstage and keeps saying “sugoii”, so the MC asks her what’s so amazing. The fan replies that “Eric looks even better than when he enlisted, it’s amazing!”
The MC asks Eric what he thinks of the fan’s comment, Eric replies somewhat complacently in Japanese, “The best!”. Eric is so slim now that there doesn’t seem to be any excess weight on him.
After that it’s the Christmas present segment, and Eric has to propose to a fan. The lucky fan is a Japanese lady around 60 and says embarrassedly that she feels bad for Eric for having to propose to her. Eric seems a little lost and says that he has never done it before either. He looks so innocent haha…
But in any case there are lots of props that he can use for his proposal: First there’s a bell which he presses and says to call him if she needs his help; then there’s a stack of dollar bills, which he stuffs into his own waistpouch; then he puts on this big Afro wig which makes his face even smaller, so cute. Then he goes down on one knee with a ring in hand and says, “Please be my wife.” The obasan is so nervous she doesn’t know what to say and Eric just keeps kneeling there until the MC prods the lady for an answer before she embarrassedly says she’s really happy. After that she even gets a hug and a photo with him.
After that the 4-member girl group performs the song written by Minwoo. For their second song, Eric raps and he changes into a long coat with denim jeans and boots, and sports a pair of shades. His gangsta style is back, so cool. After the performance he removes the shades and turns into a meek rabbit again. He says it’s been a long time since he rapped and putting on shades makes him feel less nervous.
