Lee Je Hoon, the acclaimed actor known for his roles in Taxi Driver, Signal, and Escape, made his highly anticipated debut in Malaysia on September 21st with the 2024 LEE JE HOON ASIA FANMEETING “JEHOON‘s Favorite” at the Plenary Hall, KLCC. Despite being his first time in the country, the Hoonists in attendance made him feel right at home with their enthusiastic support and affection.
The fan meeting kicked off with a delightful surprise as Je Hoon entered not from the stage but through the side doors, serenading the crowd with Indie singer george's hit All Day. His unexpected entrance immediately set the tone for an intimate and playful evening. Flirting with the audience, he declared that everyone looked so lovely that he could hardly keep his mind straight—a statement that earned a roar of approval from his adoring fans.
After thanking the crowd for their warm welcome, Je Hoon shared personal updates, including his recovery journey and how his YouTube channel became a source of comfort during a difficult time. “YouTube helped me through last year, so I wanted to share more of my life with you,” he said, touching hearts with his openness. He also shared behind-the-scenes photos, including updates on his recent projects like the highly anticipated film Escape.
The actor charmed his Malaysian fans by learning and using several local phrases, including “Saya Cinta Kamu” (I love you), “Sayang” (love), and “Comel” (cute). His effort to connect with the audience in their language only deepened the bond between him and his fans.
One of the highlights of the evening was a special segment where Je Hoon picked sticky notes from lucky fans and gifted them with signed apples—his favorite fruit. As the night continued, he took on the viral Tanghulu and Tiramisu Cake challenges, much to the delight of the audience. Ever the crowd-pleaser, Je Hoon did everything his fans asked with a smile, showing off his playful side.
The evening took a sentimental turn when Je Hoon serenaded the crowd with Love by Brown Eyed Soul. While best known for his acting chops, his smooth vocals left fans in awe and demonstrated his versatility.
In another interactive moment, Je Hoon personally prepared and handed out drinks in heart-shaped bottles to a few lucky fans. This was followed by a Q&A session where those who answered all questions correctly were invited on stage for photos and personal interactions. Je Hoon’s humility and willingness to accommodate every fan request reinforced just how genuine and down-to-earth he truly is.
Before the evening ended, Je Hoon teased fans with exciting news about the upcoming seasons of Signal 2 and Taxi Driver 3, asking them to stay tuned for his future projects. But the real showstopper was the goodbye session. Every single fan in attendance had the opportunity to approach him for a personal farewell, creating a heartfelt conclusion to an unforgettable night.
Lee Je Hoon’s first fan meeting in Malaysia was filled with laughter, touching moments, and endless fan interactions, leaving everyone eager for his return. As he continues to rise, we can only hope for more magical encounters with this incredibly talented and humble actor.
