Kim Soo Hyun is, without exception, all the rave in China. Even wealthy women and Chinese celebrities are going gaga over the Korean model-actor-singer and are willing to offer large amounts of money just to have the chance to share a meal with the handsome "You Who Came From the Stars" leading man.
According to the March 24 issue of a Chinese weekly magazine, fans get in touch with 'brokers' who arrange these kinds of exclusive meetings. And since it is not an official event, the number of attendees is limited to 10. It has also been reported that the 'brokers' demand as much as 1,000,000 Hong Kong dollars (approx. 129,000 USD) per person.
Despite the crazily expensive cost, it has been reported that clients are lining up to secure a private meet-up with the actor. Similar meetings with stars like Tony Leung and Andy Lau would cost around 1,200,000-1,500,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Although Kim Soo Hyun's camp has not confirmed the reports, it is evident that even without these exclusive meetings, Kim Soo Hyun still racks up digits from his official fan meeting events.
In the meantime, Kim Soo Hyun will be heading to Thailand, China, Indonesia, Singapore, and Japan for his official fan meetings.
