Japanese fans crowd to see Go Soo

by javabeans

Go Soo (Green Rose, Piano) is getting ready for his first Japanese fanmeeting after serving his army duty (he was released on April 25), to take place in Tokyo on November 1.

The event will accommodate an estimated 2,000 fans, with the space filled to capacity, no doubt an effect of his popularity in Japan from dramas like Piano. (His management is considering expanding his next fanmeeting for 5,000.) He’s never made a concerted effort to further his career in the Japanese market, unlike some other Hallyu colleagues like Park Yong-ha or Ryu Shi-won, but has still managed to amass a sizable Japanese fan base.

He plans to leave Korea on October 31, conduct his fanmeeting and interviews with Japanese press such as Fuji TV, then return on November 3.

Go Soo hasn’t yet made a screen comeback following his military discharge; he opted instead to tread the boards in the play The Return of President Eom.
