He wowed the attendees with a variety of features, talking with them, hugging some audience members and giving a magic show.Other guests included two singers -- female soloist Younha and Lee Seok-hoon of ballad group SG Wannabe -- who performed during the session.“I first met Park in a fitness center in 2010.

They prepared a giant cake, presents and a special video clip, as his eyes filled with tears.“I felt really sorry because I did not mark my fan club’s 10th anniversary. But, I always keep in mind that you guys are priceless,” he said, expressing his gratitude to fans.At last, Park wrapped up the meeting singing “Two People” by Korean singer Sung Si-kyung, then said good-bye to the attendees.The event was originally scheduled to run about two hours, but lasted over 5 hours and 30 minutes. The big-scale fan meeting seemed to end in success, as Park and all his fans seemed to thoroughly enjoy the show.By Kim Soo-hyang ()
